Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

I made some changes and expansions to the previous chapter.

After confirming that all preparations were complete, Su Li pushed the forward switch.

Amidst the blessings of many Earthlings, the train entered the portal.

This time, it's the world again.

Su Li glanced at the current options.

Excluding the world explored last time, there are a total of four choices.

The first and third worlds have black iron-level halos, meaning their energy level is 1.0, so they can be directly ruled out.

Zuli and the others turned their attention to the second and fourth worlds.

The second world is a world of silver halo, inside which is a person whose body is twisted and has grown all sorts of messy organs.

The fourth world is a silver halo, inside which is a vast expanse of yellow sand and sandstorms.

"How so? I have no opinion," Su Li shrugged. "Either is fine."

“Me too,” Sophia said, raising her hand.

The remaining people looked at each other in confusion. Sun Keke and Sun Lili also abstained. Ivan raised his hand: "We just explored a conspiracy, a world about the survival of civilizations. Let's change things up."

Su Li stroked her chin and thought for a moment, "Hmm... okay! Then we'll choose the fourth world."

The second world is clearly a world of some kind of bizarre, biohazard, or major event involving the descent of an evil god.

The fourth world is mostly an exploratory world of confrontation with nature.

After selecting the fourth world, the train restarts.

After just a few seconds of darkness, the train had arrived in a new world.

Su Li originally thought that what awaited them was a ray of sunshine from the new world, but she never expected that what greeted them first was a heavy punch from the new world.

"Gu..."

Sun Keke made a sound as if she had been punched in the stomach. The remaining people also tensed up.

This is a stress response to external stimuli.

"Hiss~ What is this thing?" Su Li grimaced and scratched his neck as he felt a sudden weight on his body. In addition to the abnormal gravity, his body was also itchy and he felt uncomfortable all over.

The team doctor, Song Mingyu, immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Element anomaly".

Song Mingyu raised the protective orchid staff in her hand, and the flowers on the staff bloomed, releasing a barrier that enveloped Su Li and the others. Su Li immediately felt much more comfortable.

Su Li quickly asked, "What's going on?"

With a flick of her wrist, Song Mingyu created a slime in her palm.

She tossed it at Sun Lili, who immediately understood. A crack appeared in the air, and the slime fell into the crack and disappeared.

Ivan walked to the center console and operated the car's electric curtains to open.

Only then did Zuli see the scenery outside.

The scenery here is comparable to that of the Ocean World.

When you first enter the ocean world, it's all blue; there's nothing there except for the deep blue seawater.

The world is the same; apart from the endless yellow sand and the sandstorms that seem to be shrouded in a thin yellow veil in the sky, nothing can be seen.

You have entered a new world.

【Burning Soul Sandstorm】

Current global energy level: 2

Challenge Level: 2

Su Li raised an eyebrow. "Energy level 2? That can be considered the pinnacle of the Silver level."

Reaching energy level 2 has the advantage that both seventh-degree gold and palladium can be mined in this world, but the disadvantage is that the probability of encountering gold-level gold also increases.

However, given the strength of the Zuli team, they are not incapable of dealing with Gold-level opponents.

“This Soul Burning…” After reading the name of the new world, Su Li turned her gaze to the slime outside the window.

The name of the Fragmented World wasn't chosen randomly. So, what does "Scorching Soul" represent? Damage from fire and soul?

Song Mingyu lightly tapped the staff in her hand, constantly sensing the state of the slimes outside, and then adjusting the properties of the outer barrier based on her perception.

The whole process took about 2 minutes.

Under Song Mingyu's intervention, Su Li and the others felt better and better, and the stinging sensation almost disappeared.

Taking this opportunity, Zurich also used the equipment on the train to explore the world.

"Alright." Song Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief. "That was just a temporary fix."

Su Li, who had just launched the satellite, sent the relevant data to the manual and then said, "Let's hold a combat meeting first."

The group walked to the operations command center, and Su Li spoke first: "Let me talk about the external conditions first."

Zuli projected the data she had just obtained onto the screen.

"The oxygen content in this world is extremely low, but we can overcome it for the time being. We don't need oxygen masks or oxygen candies to supplement our oxygen."

"However, I still recommend that everyone wear a face mask to protect against sand."

"Next is gravity, which is twice the standard gravity of Earth. When you are exploring, be careful of falling and gravity-related damage such as falling objects from high altitudes."

Next comes data such as atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and air composition.

After listing the data, Su Li said, "The basic data is all here. Mingyu, tell me your findings."

“Okay.” Song Mingyu stood in the middle and spoke eloquently: “As you all have probably noticed, our train is shrouded in an abnormal elemental field.”

"Based on the slime I threw out, this elemental field has the properties of fire and earth elements. After the slime enters the desert, the moisture and water element in its body are being rapidly plundered and transformed."

Song Mingyu projected several pictures. In the pictures, the slime changed from a chubby, fat boy to a shriveled balloon. At the same time, its smooth skin became wrinkled and even developed dandruff.

At this moment, Sophia raised her hand, and Song Mingyu gestured to Sophia, indicating that she should ask a question.

Sophia lowered her hand, then asked in confusion, "You mentioned modifying the water element?"

"Yes, that's the main point I'm going to make next."

Song Mingyu then projected another video, which showed the elemental changes inside the slime from an elemental perspective.

As you can see, the blue water element inside the slime is rapidly disappearing, and it is being replaced by fire and earth elements, which are predominantly yellow and red.

Sofia asked again, "Are you sure it's a modification?"

“I’m quite certain that I understand your doubts, and your thinking is correct,” Song Mingyu replied.

Everyone here has read the theory of elements, so you naturally know how big a deal transformation is.

Replacing water with fire is a simple application of elemental repulsion; transforming water into other elements is a more advanced application of elements.

But renovation is another matter entirely.

Transformation utilizes the inherent properties of elements. If Sophia wants to transform the water element into the earth or fire element, she needs to go through the Five Elements transformation: water generates wood, wood generates fire, and fire generates earth.

A transformation of the wood element is needed in the middle. The key is the transformation, which follows the properties of the element and is a matter of going with the flow.

But modification involves altering the element itself, directly changing its properties to those of another element.

“Interesting. This elemental field alone is enough for me to study for a while.” Sophia showed an excited expression.

Having the ability to modify elements signifies a deeper understanding of the nature of elements.

After seeing that Sophia was alright, Song Mingyu continued, "Being in this elemental field, the water in our bodies will be constantly converted into fire and earth elements. Even we will feel extremely thirsty."

“What’s worse is that there are still aspects of this elemental field that I haven’t figured out.” Song Mingyu took out another ball of light. “This is the slime’s rudimentary soul. As you can see, there are gray gaps on this soul, which means that this elemental field also has the function of soul attack.”

Su Li's expression immediately turned serious. "How's the intensity? Is there a way to resolve this?"

"The strength is linked to the elemental erosion on the body; the higher the elemental erosion, the stronger the soul attack."

Song Mingyu sighed, "The name 'Scorching Soul Sandstorm' is truly fitting. This elemental field burns not only our bodies but also our souls."
