Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Li Fan opened the window of the control room, letting fresh air from outside into the room.

"Let me confirm again, when civilization is destroyed, those Baal people will use me as an anchor point to extract the essence of Blue Star's civilization, right?"

"Correct."

"Can't I find a way to stop it?"

Lilith gave Li Fan a meaningful look. "The contract is set. As long as you are alive, you cannot stop it."

"Are the other four people in the same situation?" Li Fan asked.

"Yes, the five civilizations of Lyra, Nomo, Baal, Platinum, and Tide acted together, using the five Desire Orbs to select one person. You are the one selected by the Desire Orb."

"Hey, I didn't expect we're still so sought after." Li Fan chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Anyway, this information of yours has helped me a lot."

"You've been with me for so long, you know I won't let traitors get away with it. Do you have any last wishes before you die?"

“…No.” Lilith’s expression was complicated. She was also an honorary Baal, and her previous civilization had been destroyed by the Baal using the same methods. She hadn’t received any investment from the Baal at the time, and had only managed to reach seventh place through her own efforts.

The Baal people, envious of the civilization she possessed, made a deal with her, allowing her to join the Baal civilization and become an honorary Baal. Little did they know, this so-called honorary Baal was merely another name for a dog.

“Then, farewell.” Li Fan pulled the trigger, and the silver-grade pistol blew the head off the defenseless 'Lilith'.

'Lilith's' beautiful, almost painted head exploded, and her body slumped into the chair. Then, a flash of light appeared, and a monster resembling an echinoderm appeared on the chair.

Li Fan's face turned green as he grumbled as he put away his gun: "Sure enough, it's a multiverse now, how could there be humanoid aliens everywhere? I've really messed up!"

After hesitating for a long time, Li Fan sighed and carefully collected 'Lilith's' body. Then, Li Fan called over his confidantes, the Wang Xuanxuan and Wang Mengmeng sisters.

Looking at the sisters' similar faces, Li Fan smiled bitterly, "Now, I don't even trust you two anymore."

Li Fan opened the manual and found an old friend.

Li Fan—Hey, hey, hey~ Sister Li~ Li Tianxue~ I remember you have the blueprint for the Contract Crystal, right? I have some exciting news.

Li Fan sent all the information he knew to his friend Li Tianxue. Li Tianxue was a cool and capable female soldier he knew. He had even wanted to date her, but this incident ruined his chances.

Li Fan—I know many of you soldiers are friends with each other and keep in touch. Please spread this message.

Li Tianxue—I understand. But what about you?

Li Fan—Me? I don't want to die, nor do I want to be a traitor, a dog for others. So I came up with a plan. If I die, how will these bastards use me as an anchor to extract resources? I'll die first, then my girl will help me win the revival match—a win-win situation, meaning I win twice!

Li Tianxue—the girl you can trust?

Li Fan—Hey, that's why I asked you for the contract crystal. I trust the Eternal System.

Li Tianxue—Okay. I'll pass on the message. Make the arrangements. If I don't receive your message an hour before the next entry into the world, I'll use the invitation to find you in the Underworld myself. At that time, you'll have to be my soldier.

Li Fan—That's great! Remember to find me in hell, but don't go to the wrong place.

Li Tianxue—Perhaps you will be in the peaceful resting place of the virtuous, in Anning Township.

Li Fan—Hahaha, that's hilarious! I'm going to Anning Township? I love your unique sense of humor.

After closing the manual, Li Fan found himself with two contract crystals.

He looked at the Wang sisters and said, "I'm sorry, I've just experienced betrayal, I really don't dare to gamble."

"It's alright." The older sister from the Wang family smiled slightly. "This is a matter of life and death; we can't let emotions cloud our judgment."

The younger sister of the Wang family was quite angry, and with a snort, she turned her face away.

"Then let's make a pact. I don't know if my guards are any troublesome. I'll give you both the equipment, so stay put and defend yourselves. Don't get yourself killed."

After Li Fan signed the contract with the Wang sisters and confirmed that the remaining invitation letter from the Underworld was sufficient for four summons, he took out the medicine he had just acquired.

[Leg-Stretching and Eye-Staring Pill: Ingestion will result in instant death for Silver-rank and below.]

Li Fan opened the manual and began to operate the machine, starting by kicking the Wang sisters out of the crew.

The Wang sisters have become independent, and each of them now has a train ticket.

Then, Li Fan took out a prop: a portable train factory, spent a lot of survival coins and materials to make a new level 0 train for the two sisters, and then traded with Li Tianxue to upgrade the plug-in, upgrading it all the way to level 4.

He didn't buy any blueprints below level 6; all his blueprints came from his summoned level 12 confidante. However, that confidante recently encountered a time rift and disappeared. So, despite having the resources, he couldn't help the girls level up.

"What spacetime rift? It's just acting, isn't it?" Li Fan muttered.

He didn't know if the Balians had tampered with his train, so to be on the safe side, he decided to replace it with a new one.

After finishing all this, Li Fan sat in the control room and said, "See you the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Li Fan swallowed the "Stretch Leg and Stare Eyes Pill".

Opening his eyes, Li Fan saw an old man with a white beard.

Welcome to Anning Township.

Wow, we've really arrived at Anning Township.

……

That night, Zurich kept watch for the first half of the night, and Ivan kept watch for the second half.

Nothing happened that night, as if the beam of light was just for show.

Su Li got up early and went into the hood of the car. Ivan saw Su Li and rushed over. "Brother-in-law, something terrible has happened."

"What happened?" Su Li asked hurriedly.

"Li Fan, who was ranked fifth on the leaderboard, is dead."

Ivan's words were like a bolt from the blue. Su Li never imagined that Li Fan, whom he had identified as "possessing something evil," was actually dead.

"How did he die?" Su Li tensed up immediately. To upgrade a vehicle to level 10, this person must have abundant resources, a ton of equipment and skills. He's dead? Is this round of survival really that difficult?

“I don’t know yet. The chat room is in an uproar. Some people are saying they were wiped out,” Ivan said. “And then there’s something else: the parasitic activity of the Kosmonworms has stopped.”

Su Li nodded; a coordinated attack was indeed possible. He didn't know who Li Fan was; he was probably the kind of person who was rather annoying.

Seriously, can't we get some heroes to gang up on Lin Feng too? Hurry up, please!

Furthermore, he had already suspected that the parasitic infestation of the Kos Dream Worms had ceased. The major event was clearly related to the Kos Dream Worms; the towering pillar of light indicated that the Great World had entered the next phase. The entity behind the scenes was preparing to concentrate its forces on a major undertaking.

Since yesterday, Scorpion has been constantly retrieving the Misty Rock Sunflowers that were placed in various places to create fog, and no longer has the energy to deal with parasitism.

Furthermore, the parasitism doesn't take effect immediately; it requires several days to mature. Today is already the sixth day, and tomorrow this world fragment will end. Two days simply isn't enough for the Kos Dream Worm to mature.

Just then, Su Li felt a notification in her handbook, indicating that a friend had sent her a message.

Su Li opened the manual, ignoring the 99+ spam messages, and opened Zheng Hongyuan's chat window.

Comrade Zheng Hongyuan, please take a look at this information first.

What followed was a long passage. Su Li's expression turned serious as he read it; he hadn't expected there to be so much going on behind the scenes.

Zheng Hongyuan: Next, we need to organize manpower to encircle and suppress Lin Feng.
