Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Seeing Su Li's surprised expression, Jiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Su Li, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered something I forgot about." Su Li slowly sat down. "No rush. Take me to see those treasure chests first."

Su Li remained calm, concealing the turmoil within her heart.

The fact that the reef can recognize the treasure chest indicates that the reef is a real, existing creature.

Extending this line of thought outwards, other people also exist in reality; they are not fictitious creations.

This leads to a question.

According to the Eternal System's settings, within its radiation range, destroyed civilizations will be captured by the Eternal System and added to the Eternal Game. Depending on the choices made by the civilization's consciousness, these civilizations will be extended into derivative games such as the Eternal Train Game and the Eternal RV Game.

Since the world of the Spirit-Eyed People has already experienced its apocalypse and been reduced to fragments, it means that this civilization has been captured by the Eternal System.

Su Li had encountered similar entities within fragments of the world before, but those entities were all divine beasts of the world—powerful beings who did not belong to any particular civilization.

Of course, Reef and the others don't fit this description. Reef's previous statement used the term 'we,' indicating that these people in the shelter can interact with the treasure chest, and they are all real people.

The apocalypse has been ongoing for centuries, the reef is real, and by extension, the people from a hundred years ago should also have been real, living beings. They were a civilization, which would better fit the recruitment criteria of the Eternal Game.

According to the established progression, Reef should already be a player in the Eternal Game. How could he be playing the role of an NPC in this world?

There must be something wrong here.

[Should I report the problem to the system?] Su Li thought for a moment and rejected the idea. [If it's an accidental system error, that's fine. But if someone is deliberately causing trouble, that person or that force must be at a very high level, high enough to interfere with the Eternal Game and have the ability to bypass the Eternal System. Using system feedback here risks being discovered by the enemy.]

Not only can we not provide feedback, but we also can't use the methods for detecting whether the reefs truly exist, because those methods require the use of an eternal system. For now, let's pretend we haven't discovered this problem.

[Back at the Pantheon, I'll go and tattle on Old Deng, the pioneer.]

Having determined the next course of action, Su Li remained silent and followed the reef into the depths of the shelter.

On the way, they encountered their teammates, and Su Li gave them a tactical hand signal.

Upon seeing the gesture, Song Mingyu released a mental link, connecting everyone together.

"Something's happened." Su Li got straight to the point, telling her companions about her discovery, her thoughts on the matter, and her decision.

This can't be hidden, because it's real, and everyone has seen the information about the difference between fact and fiction.

[Okay, I'll listen to you.] Sophia replied. [Everyone, please be careful not to discuss this through the system.]

Sun Keke had another concern: "Will discussing this here trigger that organization's passive prophetic ability? The possibility is small, but not impossible."

Back when Bai Xing sent out the invitation to the Feast at Hongmen, the minds of all the prophecy players on Blue Star were ringing like a doorbell.

"I don't know, we can only pray." Su Li sighed. He really couldn't guard against this. If it was one of those legendary big shots who could be sensed just by thinking of him, they could only admit defeat.

Zuli even began to regret why she had entered this shelter in the first place.

Sun Keke anxiously started pacing around in place. After pacing for a while, she finally came up with a solution.

Brother-in-law, take out your Trailblazer badge.

Zuli took out his Pioneer Badge.

This badge is a divine gift from the god of pioneering. It should be possible to communicate with the god of pioneering through ritual.

Sun Keke held the badge, examining it repeatedly. "I'll prepare a ritual later. Using my brother-in-law, who has a deep karmic entanglement with the God of Pioneers, as a medium, let's see if we can directly contact the God of Pioneers and report this matter."

[Wow, they actually have this skill!] Su Li was astonished; this was truly a pleasant surprise.

It's not particularly impressive; it's just a basic ritual for worshipping deities.

Sun Keke ordered Ivan back to the train to begin preparing materials for the ritual. She herself would follow Su Li, as she still needed Su Li to open the treasure chest.

The two followed the reef to the location where the treasure chest was placed.

"This is it." Jiao opened a room, and Su Li looked around. Inside, there were many machines, somewhat like a computer room. "This is where our historical data is stored. It's where we learn about the past."

"The treasure chest is at the very back."

Su Li walked to the innermost part and found one gold and two silver chests, a total of three treasure chests.

The gold-tier chests are nest treasure chests, featuring an image of the war god centipede.

Without saying a word, Sun Keke went up and kicked the treasure chest three times, then turned around nonchalantly, not even glancing at what was inside.

"This..." Jiao looked at Sun Keke, speechless. He was very curious about both Sun Keke's attitude and the reason why she was able to open the treasure chest.

“She has an urgent matter.” Su Li shrugged, then began to look through the contents of the treasure chest.

He first checked the ordinary silver-grade treasure chest.

Inside is a skill book.

Scarlet Struggle

Silver Level

[Activated during battle, continuously consumes your own health. After dealing damage to the enemy, it adds a layer of Crimson Struggle to the enemy, causing the enemy to continuously fall into the Enlightenment Illusion, with a chance to cause demonic possession and consume magic energy.]

When the number of layers reaches 10, you gain the ability to detect enemy weaknesses and identify their attack flaws.

This skill is powerful enough to be considered a decent support skill. Su Li couldn't resist taking a closer look, only to discover it was a mind-based skill, forcing her to abandon her plan to learn it.

The theory behind this skill is to use mental energy to interfere with the enemy, creating an illusion of enlightenment while simultaneously exploiting their mental weaknesses. Once these weaknesses are discovered, the enemy's attacks can naturally be detected.

"Sigh, Lily needs another upgrade." Su Li sighed. "When will I be able to use my 5-star character from the start of the game for upgrades?"

It's not a pity, he has the Eighteen Hands of Severing People and the study of monsters, the combination is not bad.

There were also some supplies in the box, for treating eye and mental injuries, which weren't bad.
