Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Nothing happened that day.

The train remained stationary and did not move forward.

For the rest of the day, everyone rested, except for Ivan, who was cultivating a relationship with the silver-level horse-shaped monster.

As it turns out, Zurich's experience was correct, but not entirely correct either.

After giving the carrot to the horse, the horse looked left and right, then suddenly burst out with flames, burning the carrot, and then ate it with relish.

Su Li sincerely hoped that Ivan could tame this monster. Otherwise, given how he had stayed by their side and refused to leave, they would have to fight him to the death during the beast tide.

The two sides remained at peace until the fifth day of the exploration.

In the early hours of the morning, Su Li was on duty while looking at the documents that had just been sent to her.

The data was sent by the Blue Star government, and the local plant and animal organs sent by Zurich have already been analyzed by them.

Research has found that plants in this world can absorb oxygen and synthesize carbon dioxide and a high-performance combustion aid within their bodies.

The monsters in this world absorb carbon dioxide and, with the aid of a combustion agent, ignite their magical energy within their bodies to obtain the energy for survival.

"Wow, this is the opposite of what we're doing on Earth," Su Li said, somewhat surprised. "Should I collect some to increase the power of my gadgets?"

Thinking of this, Su Li took out a piece of paper and began to calculate the element ratios on it.

As I was calculating, the door to the duty room opened.

Su Li looked up and saw Song Mingyu floating in like a drunkard.

She walked up to Su Li, pushed him back, sat on his lap with her back to him, and leaned against him, saying, "I'm tired, rub it for me."

Su Li put down her pen and paper and massaged Song Mingyu's shoulders.

Song Mingyu hummed a few times, pulled the table in front of her, and placed her headlights on the table.

"You've worked hard. What have you found out?" Su Li asked. He knew that since Song Mingyu had come out at this point, it meant that her research had reached a certain stage.

“Hmm…this is bad news.” Song Mingyu sat up straight. “I studied the mechanization on the slime and found that it wasn’t a malignant invasion at all.”

Su Li paused, "What do you mean?"

“That’s a kind of blessing and transformation.” Song Mingyu’s voice was low. “Isn’t there a legend about someone who killed a dragon, bathed in its blood, and became a new dragon?”

"Higher beings generously share their extraordinary qualities with lower beings, allowing them to evolve in their own direction."

Su Li thought of Orochi, "Just like Orochi?"

"There's a difference. One is active, and the other is passive information interference. Orochi-sama's kind is simply that they became the foundation of the world, so their extraordinary information spreads throughout the world."

Su Li stopped dwelling on this and instead began to worry: "If it can bless so many creatures, doesn't that mean there is a powerful, mechanical being at the center of the world?"

Unlike Orochi and his ilk, who spread their influence through the world, this blessing phenomenon arose from their own strength.

So how strong is this person?

Just thinking about it made Su Li's scalp tingle.

Gold level? No, the Gold level can't do that. The Gold level requires one's soul, body, and will to be completely unified. However, apart from certain special species, most Gold-level individuals cannot achieve such an ability.

So, is it above gold?

Su Li felt a chill spread from her spine to her whole body, and a tingling sensation ran through the back of her head near her neck.

Su Li opened the manual and looked at the description of this world, "Energy level 1.4? You're not 4.1, are you?!"

He took several deep breaths to calm himself down before saying, "The system's judgment is not absolute, but this kind of small world fragment is not enough to cause the system to misjudge. Since the system judges it to be at energy level 1.4 and challenge level 2, then such a strong enemy should not appear."

The two fell silent. Song Mingyu lingered for a while before returning to her dormitory to sleep, leaving Su Li on duty.

In the morning, Zuli told everyone about the new discovery, and then warned, "So everyone must be careful of that red volcanic ash."

"But there's no need to worry too much. Trust the system's judgment."

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to believe it.

In the morning, some people were training, while others were reading.

Around noon, Su Li and the others suddenly heard some strange noises.

The sound was rhythmic and resonant, like some kind of machine in operation.

"Something's wrong!"

Su Li quickly started the boiler.

When the boiler started up, the noise from behind became even louder.

Su Li looked in the direction the sound came from, and it turned out to be in front of the train.

Moreover, several orange lights appeared in the distance.

"Could they be natives of this world?" Su Li wondered to herself.

From this position, Su Li and the others couldn't retreat; behind them were volcanic ash and mechanical monsters.

Should they proceed directly? Su Li was also afraid of colliding with the large machinery that had dug out the cave.

The safest approach is to stop and see who it is.

Before long, the lights ahead grew brighter and brighter.

Then, a vehicle that looked like a large bus appeared in front of Zuli and his group.

These people also saw Su Li and his group, stopped their car not far from them, and then got out of the car.

Su Li was stunned when she saw these people; they were all half-mechanical beastmen.

They resembled rabbit-eared characters from Japanese anime. However, many parts of their bodies had been mechanicalized; some even had half their heads mechanicalized, making them look like robots with torn skin—a bit creepy.

When the group saw Su Li and his group's train, they all showed strange expressions, a mixture of anticipation and excitement.

"The divination results are very bad, brother-in-law, drive!" Sun Keke suddenly said.

"Ivan, start!"

Ivan pulled the accelerator, and the train suddenly started moving.

The orcs went berserk, raising their mechanized limbs and firing directly at Su Li and his group's train.

A large number of bullets hit the Zurich train, but fortunately their train was well-defended and able to withstand the attack.

Some of the more discerning orcs recognized Su Li and his companions and immediately cried out, their eyes turning red, "I see them! They're foreigners! They're foreigners!"

"Ooooooo!" The orcs roared in battle.

They were all like they'd been injected with adrenaline, using all sorts of methods to chase after Su Li and the others.
