Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After checking the supplies, Zuli will now examine the functions of the train manual.

A thought struck him, and a small black booklet appeared in his hand. It read "Train Manual".

This booklet is usually stored in one's mind and can be summoned when needed.

Open the manual; the first page is the code of conduct. It contains the seven codes of conduct mentioned by the voice earlier.

Su Li then looked at item 5.

5. Depending on your behavior at the time of your death, there may be a turning point.

Su Li frowned. He understood everything else, but what about the last one? Could there be a revival round?

If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it anymore. Su Li had no intention of trying to find out what that turning point was. This thing could only be considered a sliver of hope when all other options were exhausted.

Turn to the first page, and the second page is the train crew page.

This page is quite simple; currently, it only shows Su Li.

Name: Su Li

Race: Earthlings

Age: 18

Sex: Male

Role: Train conductor

Level: lv1 (0/100)

Occupation: None

Status: Omitted

Skills: Basic Appraisal, Basic Disassembly

[Basic Appraisal Skill: Uses the system's power to obtain some appraisal information; cannot be upgraded]

[Basic Decomposition Technique: This technique can break down simple items into raw materials of system specifications.]

"Am I still not up to par?" Su Li looked at himself. At his school, they ran twice a day and did exercises once a day. Their physical fitness was pretty good. He was 180 cm tall and weighed 150 kg. He had a well-proportioned body and was in his prime. His fighting ability should be pretty good. So why was he still not up to par?

Su Li suddenly felt a little curious about just how strong the weakest monster, the slime, really was.

Su Li checked his status and found it was categorized quite meticulously, almost like a medical report. His status was perfectly healthy, with only two negative stats: lack of sleep and internal heat. Of course, after eating barbecue and staying up late these past few days, it would be strange if he didn't have internal heat.

The third page is the construction page, where you can use materials to create props according to blueprints.

Su Li noticed that the construction page stated that team members could share construction blueprints.

The initial construction page includes some basic blueprints, such as a train maintenance module, stone axe, stone shovel, and rope.

Most of them can be made by hand, while a few, such as the repair module, require a workbench to make.

Page four is the trading interface, where you can trade with people on the same channel. Su Li nodded; it was a classic scene from the novel.

The fifth page is the chat interface.

Su Li quickly opened the chat page. It was divided into a world channel, a blue planet channel, and a regional channel. The world channel and the blue planet channel were temporarily inaccessible; she could only access the regional channel for now.

[Current Channel: 99999/10]

--Holy crap, is this for real? Have we time-traveled?

Where am I? Why am I here?

--This dream was quite novel today. I'm not in a hurry to wake up; I'll play with you guys for a bit.

Was that voice telling the truth? Are we meant to live in this world?

--I can't hold it in anymore, someone died right at the start of the game, how did they die?

--Is there any handsome guy who can help me out? I just turned eighteen, but I know a lot!

Su Li nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly it! The memories of novels from my past life have returned!"

Su Li was engrossed in reading it. There were no survival novels like this in this world, but in his previous life, he loved reading this kind of novel the most.

After looking at it for a while, Su Li felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized what was going on and typed a sentence into the manual.

Su Li: I'm the richest man in Xihong City. Does anyone know how to get back? I'll pay 100 million!

--Good heavens, Chen Teng's film crew has made it this far?

--I knew it! This is like a movie shoot!

After sending this message, Su Li smiled with satisfaction. The survival novel chat room made its debut. Without cute girls begging for patronage and the richest man offering a huge reward, it would be like fries without ketchup—incomplete!

After finishing her antics, Su Li, feeling that the Heavenly Chamber was refreshing too quickly and she couldn't see any useful information, closed the manual and walked to the boiler.

The operation of this boiler is straightforward. There's a feeding port in the middle where you can add fuel.

On the left is a smart control panel that displays the train's status; it's also a touchscreen.

Zuli glanced at the train's information.

This locomotive is 10 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 3 meters high. It has a usable area of ​​10 square meters.

After operation, the average speed is 60 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed reached after consuming twice the fuel and some durability is 80 kilometers per hour.

The train can run backwards, but its speed will only be half of what it used to be.

Next is the train's class.

Steam-powered locomotive

lv0

Please use the level 1 initial train enhancement plugin.

Su Li flipped through the manual and found the enhancement plugin.

[lv1 train enhancement plugin]

Upgrades the train to level 1 after use.

Wood*100, Stone*50, Iron Ingot*10, Rope*20

In addition to the train's status, Zurich can also see the world and station the train is currently in.

[Current World Location: Temporary Maintenance Zone 49527]

[Current Station: Departure Station]

Su Li looked outside; it was completely blank, nothing at all. He got out of the car and walked around it, hoping to find some special surprise or reward. He was disappointed; there was nothing there. Only a huge black vortex stood not far in front of the train.

"There's nothing here. Looks like we'll have to drive away."

Back in the car, Zuli took out the fuel and put it into the boiler.

Finally, I struck a match and lit the fuel.

The train began preheating, and a progress bar appeared on the boiler.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, the boiler pressure bar turned green. Zuli pushed the switch down.

"Woo~"

The whistle sounded, and the train slowly started moving, rushing into the black vortex.

Su Li stood nervously inside the carriage for about two minutes before the view suddenly opened up.

You have entered a new world.

【Scorching Saline-Alkali Land】

Current global energy level: 0

Challenge Level: 0

Su Li quickly looked outside, and the scenery outside made him frown.

The sky outside was a deep blue, so blue that it almost seemed unreal.

In contrast to the blue sky, the ground was not so appealing.

This land was covered with exposed gravel and compacted soil. Only occasionally could one see some trees and weeds.

The overall feeling it evokes is one of desolation.

"Oh no, this doesn't seem like a good start."

Su Li was in a bad mood; the place was visibly desolate. For a survival game, this was a very unfavorable start.

Zuli has watched some wilderness survival shows and knows very well that survival is inseparable from food, water, and shelter.

The train was the best shelter, so Zurich only needed to focus on getting food and water. But in such a desolate place, it was easy to guess that water and food would be hard to come by.

"And what's this world called? A scorching saline-alkali land. Good heavens, a saline-alkali land! So the water here is saline water? I remember saline water isn't drinkable, right?"

At this point, Su Li felt extremely uncomfortable.

This Gobi Desert-like terrain is already terrible, and the precious water resources might even be undrinkable saline water. How are we supposed to have fun here?!

"It's still scorching hot! Doesn't that mean the water consumption is enormous? Is this difficulty level normal? System? Where's my cheat system?"

Unfortunately, I didn't hear the reassuring "ding" sound.

Zuli could only patiently continue running the train and see if things would take a turn for the better.

As the train continued to move forward, the surroundings gradually changed. The pebbles on the side decreased, and the large stones increased. In the exposed soil, the yellow soil began to decrease, and there was more whitish soil. The vegetation also became denser, with clusters of trees appearing.

In addition, some red lake water could be seen, and the crimson color made Su Li feel that something was not right.

Zuli glanced at the fuel level; they had already traveled 60 kilometers.

"Time to gather fuel. Let's find a suitable place to stop."

A few more minutes passed, and Su Li saw a withered and fallen tree on the left. Without hesitation, she pressed the brake.
