Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Inside the Blue Star civilization's train, a blanket of red volcanic ash was currently enveloping the interior.

The volcanic ash seemed to possess a life of its own, gradually mechanizing the items inside the vehicle. Ordinary items without magical power, such as coat hangers and water cups, were the first to be affected, turning into cold, mechanical creations.

The first thing to be activated was the train's windows, and it was because they opened automatically that volcanic ash kept pouring into the train.

Su Li stood in the middle of the carriage, her brow furrowed. The other party might not be able to control the volcanic ash, but they could control what had been completely transformed.

Just then, teammates arrived in time to provide support.

On Shi Lei's train, a robotic arm quickly extended and delivered steel plates to the windows, welding them shut to temporarily block the intrusion of volcanic ash.

At the same time, a stream of magical energy flowed through the mechanical arms and pierced the front of all the trains.

Shi Lei's voice came through the communicator: "Hello, can you hear me? Our mechanics' mechanical abilities can help the train resist corrosion. There are quite a few mechanics on my train, and they will take turns releasing their mechanical abilities to protect only the locomotive. It can last for two hours."

"Understood, thank you for your hard work," Su Li replied. "Please report the situation to us."

Reports from various units came quickly.

This attack resulted in the deaths of three logistics personnel.

These logistics personnel are relatively weak in combat capability and are mainly responsible for the logistical support of the convoy.

Due to insufficient strength and weak will, they were directly transformed into robots by the "blessing" power in the volcanic ash, and manipulated by the mastermind behind the scenes, attempting to self-destruct.

Fortunately, their teammates intervened in time, preventing even greater losses.

“Sigh…” Shi Lei sighed, his tone filled with deep regret, “But now is not the time for sorrow. We must resolve this crisis as soon as possible, otherwise no one will escape death.”

Shi Lei quickly stated his discovery: "My body has also become partially mechanized, and through mechanical energy, I discovered that among the transformed individuals, there exists an individual with high authority. I think that individual is the king."

"We must get rid of that king!"

While Su Li and the others were discussing, Shi Lei's teammates had already completed the track reset.

Numerous stone pillars stand on this land. Using the energy of the LV6 train, they adjusted the track's direction, extending it between the stone pillars and finally laying it in mid-air.

In this way, the train finally escaped the area with the highest concentration of volcanic ash and was temporarily freed from the threat of erosion.

Su Li quickly climbed out of the carriage and went to the gun emplacement. Loud noises had been coming from the direction of the emplacement since earlier. As soon as he stepped onto the emplacement, the sight before him made his eyes widen in astonishment.

"This is too exaggerated! What kind of film set have we walked into?!" Su Li couldn't help but exclaim.

In the distance, a massive mechanical castle slowly rose up within the city. The robot's body retained the castle's shape, and its limbs were composed of countless gears and pipes, radiating a cold metallic luster.

At the top of the castle, a beam of red light shot straight into the sky, as if announcing its arrival to the whole world.

Around the castle, countless mechanized creatures surged in from the ground and air, their eyes flashing red, clearly completely under control.

These mechanical creatures, like a swarm of bees returning to their nest, frantically rushed towards the robot, only to be absorbed, modified, and integrated into its limbs, becoming part of its enormous body.

"Hahahaha!" The robot let out a deafening laugh that echoed through the sinkhole. "This is the power of us Skyflame Beastmen! This is our destiny!"

The robot strode out of the city with heavy steps. With each step, countless mechanical civilians were crushed beneath its feet, absorbed by its soles, transformed into parts, and integrated into other parts of its body. Though its movements were slow, they carried an unstoppable sense of oppression.

Su Li looked up at the enormous thing and instinctively grabbed the wall for support, her heart filled with indescribable shock.

It was as if a myth had descended to earth.

The teammates' voices came through the communicator, tinged with helplessness and uncertainty: "Hey, can we reconcile?"

They knew that their communicators had also been activated and that the other party could hear them.

"Reconciliation?" The robot's voice boomed like thunder, making one's eardrums ache. "At this moment? Are you kidding me?!"

This is no joke, of course, because the disparity between the two sides is simply too great. A giant robot several kilometers tall, with a single slap, could stretch hundreds of meters long. How are Su Li and his team supposed to cope?

"Your goal is to leave this world, right?" one player shouted. "We are willing to surrender, as long as you promise not to turn us into robots. We are willing to take you and the people you choose to leave this world and go to our Blue Star City."

Faced with such a giant robot, many players' mental defenses have collapsed.

They didn't understand the point of dealing with such an enemy.

The robot, several kilometers tall, just standing there, looked like a god descended to earth.

"What are you talking about?!" Lin Tongguang's voice rang out. "Are you betraying Blue Star Civilization? How can our people resist such monsters brought to Blue Star Civilization?"

“But what can we do? I don’t want to die!” one player retorted. “My child is still young, and I don’t have a chance to be resurrected. I just want to be with my family. What’s wrong with that?!”

Another player said obsequiously, "This god is already so powerful, he probably wouldn't even look at our little blue planet."

"Hahaha," the king laughed loudly, "Not bad, not bad, you are simply the best jesters."

“I have become one with the people and do not need so many vehicles. Here’s what we’ll do: you all kill each other in front of me, you jesters. If you please me, I will forgive your great disrespect.”

As the king's voice fell, a gunshot rang out, and the channel instantly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

A few seconds later, a man's voice came through the communicator. "I've already taken care of the idiots. I misjudged people. It was foolish of me to pin my hopes on the enemy keeping his promises. This is a king who can devour all his subjects without batting an eye."

"Would a feudal monarch treat commoners as human beings? I'm afraid if we took him back, our relatives and friends would all become nourishment."

“We still have several Venerable Ones!” one player retorted.

"So, how many people will die before the Venerable One deals with them?" Lin Tongguang said calmly, "By trapping him here, only those of us here will die, less than 50 people."

Li Tongguang's voice was icy: "I'm sorry, but I don't trust anyone. For the sake of Blue Star civilization, I'm going to detonate the tactical nuclear bomb in my hand."

"Stop!" Su Li suddenly spoke. "Something's not right!"
