My Doomsday Train

70,000 units of iron ore.

That's equivalent to half of a level 2 iron mine. As expected of a level 4 train, it's much more than the iron ore units he obtained from devouring Kun Ye's train head back then.

The "Heart of the Earth Furnace" obtains different amounts of iron ore depending on the components it devours.

For example, devouring one of his own ordinary carriages yields 50 units of iron ore, which is equivalent to returning half. But devouring some abandoned carriages or other components yields much less.

But after all, it was free, and it's already enough.

Especially since...

There are also quite a few resources piled up in this train.

-

"120,000 units of iron ore, 40,000 units of copper ore, 3,700 units of wood."

"120,000 units of spider silk, one special item, two blueprints, several rifles and bullets."

"Sixteen cigarettes, two bottles of white liquor, three cured pork ribs, and even a frozen fatty pig weighing several hundred pounds in the refrigerator."

"Several daily necessities collected from city ruins."

-

"The ancients were right after all."

Standing outside the train in the cavern, Chen Mang listened to the sound of the underground river flowing beside him. The headlights illuminated the entire cavern space. He took the list of spoils from Biaozi and sighed with emotion.

Killing and looting really is a good way to get rich.

Of course.

The amount of iron and copper ore isn't much, after all, these two resources are necessities. No one will hoard too much of these resources on their own train. They use a little when they have it, and improving the train's strength by a little is still something.

At most, they'll keep a few tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to maintain the daily operation of the train.

After he finishes mining these two iron mines, the resource harvest alone will definitely be more than what's on this list.

But...it's just so miscellaneous!

There's everything.

There's even spider silk, a full 120,000 units of spider silk. This guy doesn't even have the "Spider Legs" component on his train. What's he doing with so much spider silk? I don't know where he got it from, probably slaughtered a nest of "Man-Eating Spiders."

His "Spider Legs" haven't been upgraded in a long time, now the food is directly fed to his mouth.

He has to eat it even if he doesn't want to.

He threw all the rifles and bullets into the "Heart of the Earth Furnace". He also put the special items and blueprints in the train room. He'll slowly check them later.

"Eating bread every day, a good change of pace."

"No need to pay any meat coupons, everyone gets a share, just consider it a train benefit."

"By the way—"

Speaking of this meat coupon, Chen Mang paused slightly, then said with a serious expression: "When we designed the concept of 'meat coupon', we initially only wanted it to have the function of buying meat. The concept of a store was only proposed later. Since the 'meat coupon' has already become a train currency concept, it's no longer appropriate to call it that."

"Change the name, just change it to... Stellar Coupon."

"Also, pick out some of the daily necessities we collected and put them in the store."

"Understood, I'll arrange it later."

Lao Zhu, standing beside him, nodded seriously and quickly recorded it in his small notebook.

After instructing these things, Chen Mang glanced at the residents not far away who had already received their pickaxes and started mining. He didn't stay any longer, but strode towards his train room. In the next few days, the Stellar Train would be mining here.

But now he needs to first look at what effects those special items and blueprints have, and upgrade the train to a level 4 train.

"Pork and cabbage stew with vermicelli..."

Lao Zhu looked at Mang Ye's departing back, his throat couldn't help but roll a few times, and saliva faintly rose in his mouth. His food treatment is considered good in the Stellar Train, but every meal is still a rou jia mo.

In the doomsday, being able to have this kind of food is something to be happy about.

He is also quite content.

Although it is indeed a bit greasy, and there are no other types of food at all, after hearing the familiar and unfamiliar words "pork and cabbage stew with vermicelli", his mouth has already begun to secrete saliva subconsciously.

He seems to have faintly smelled the fragrance.

"So fragrant..." Biaozi, standing beside him, also smiled foolishly with his eyes scattered: "Add a steamed bun to dip in the soup, soft and fluffy, cabbage, vermicelli, and pork mixed together and stuffed into your mouth, that taste..."

"Damn it, can't think about it, I can't wait to go to Shahe City!"

"I'll die there if I can't find cabbage and vermicelli!"

"You dare to set this flag?" Lao Zhu looked back at Biaozi with a strange expression: "Alright, let's start working. You go and investigate the backgrounds of those survivors. This time, Mang Ye didn't say to kill anyone, so keep that vice train captain and the thugs. Find out the relationship between the remaining people and the train captain."

"After you finish interrogating, I'll go arrange them."

"I have to go see how the statistics table is doing over there. Damn it, without a computer, statistically analyzing the data of these thousand people is a big job. It's killing me."

Biaozi looked at Li Shiji not far away: "Why don't you go ask this kid? This kid is smart, maybe he has a way."

"I asked."

"What did he say?"

"He said that bugs are common and unavoidable. It's okay if it can run roughly. Even if there is a computer, bugs will still be inevitable."

". . ."

"Alright, I won't talk to you about this."

Lao Zhu waved his hand and walked away: "I already have some vague ideas, I'm busy."

My name is Li Yi.

Before the doomsday, I was a senior executive in a company, earning millions a year. My annual income is equivalent to ten years of an ordinary person's.

I believe that I have rich management skills, especially in the middle management position, I have enough experience. After the doomsday came, I was captured by several trains to be a slave.

In Kun Ye's slave carriage, I had already been muddleheaded and had no hope for the future.

The city has been destroyed.

Almost no compatriots can be seen on the entire wasteland. Even if the train temporarily protects my life, I don't know where to go or what to do next. I have no home anymore, this world has abandoned me.

Only when mining can I seem to find a trace of meaning in my existence.

Just then.

I saw a man whose temperament was completely different from mine. That man didn't have any despair about the future, and he was completely different from other muddleheaded slaves. His eyes were fierce and his face was cold as he occupied the only straw mat in the carriage.

This man doesn't seem to be desperate because he is in the doomsday at all.

I felt a hint of curiosity about him.

It wasn't until I saw a strong man go to provoke him, only to have his life taken by this man in a matter of seconds, that I shifted my gaze away from him. For some reason, when my eyes looked at him, I felt a burning sensation, as if I were staring directly at the sun.

He possessed a strong sense of wildness.

And an extremely strong sense of conviction, never despairing of the future even after the destruction of the doomsday home.

I consider myself to be at least a semi-intellectual, but it took me several seconds to find an adjective that vaguely fit this man.

After that...

It was as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button. Master Kun's train suddenly perished, and this man established the "Stellaris" train. I became one of the first slaves to join this train, watching it grow rapidly from its infancy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I personally witnessed the number of carriages increasing, and the various firepower components constantly being added.

I personally witnessed the number of slaves on the train rapidly increasing. Before I could even react, the Stellaris train had already grown into a behemoth on the wasteland.

I personally witnessed the improvement in the slaves' treatment, from two pieces of moldy bread a day to twenty pieces of soft, filled bread. The treatment inside the train kept getting better and better.

I personally witnessed the train leveling up from level 1 to level 2, then to level 3, even reaching the advanced area, "Shale River Plains."

I personally witnessed the growth of the Stellaris train.

I thought of many ways to stand out from the crowd of slaves, to become a mid-level manager on this train. I believed that this train would go further in the future, and might even become the Noah's Ark of the apocalypse, carrying the last remnants of human civilization through this hopeless, despairing world.

Perhaps this train is the last hope for human civilization.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

I wanted to contribute to the development of the Stellaris train, eagerly wanting to join the construction process, and also eagerly wanting to follow behind that man.

Following someone like that, even I felt a glimmer of hope for the future.

I tried many ways to get ahead.

I even chose my confidants in advance, wanting to suppress the rioting slaves to show my talent, wanting to find a way to stand out at the reform conference after leaving the wasteland, wanting to...

But—

All ended in failure.

The kid next to me often put pressure on me, making me often regret telling him my plans and visions. If I hadn't told him, no one would put pressure on me, and I wouldn't feel ashamed when my plans failed.

I had doubted myself countless times, perhaps I really didn't have any talent, and even thought about just being a slave on the train.

Oh no, a resident.

The train reformed.

But... I never expected that I would eventually become a mid-level manager of the "Stellaris Train". The plan finally succeeded.

However, it wasn't my plan that succeeded, it was that kid's plan that succeeded.

My name is Li Yi, and that kid calls me Uncle Li.

Standing on the floor of the cave, Uncle Li, with a dazed expression, still hadn't recovered, looking at the excited young man standing beside him and Mang Ye, who was leaning on his cane on the ground.

This was the first time he had been so close to Mang Ye.

He even felt his breathing become rapid.

And not far away, Pig Foreman was striding over. He usually had no chance to be so close to Pig Foreman either.

"Old Pig."

Chen Mang waved at Old Pig, who was walking towards him, and then casually put his arm around Uncle Li's shoulders: "That kid came to me just now, saying that his Uncle Li used to be a senior executive in a large company, and also worked as a financial director, with strong management skills and a keen eye for numbers."

"Your statistics are probably quite tricky too."

"I'm giving you this person, let him be responsible for trying it out. If there are no problems after a few days, give him level 3 advanced talent treatment in the future."

"Oh right, and this kid, let him assist Uncle Li, with the same treatment as Uncle Li."

At this moment.

Uncle Li, who was standing next to him, finally came back to his senses, bowing somewhat nervously and saying in a trembling voice: "Mang Ye, just call me Little Li."

Chen Mang didn't speak, just patted Uncle Li on the shoulder, and then turned back to the train room. This time, no one stopped him.

After Mang Ye left.

Old Pig looked at the two people holding pickaxes in front of him with a strange expression: "You guys are pretty bold, running around during mining time and stopping Mang Ye. Pretty ballsy!"

"But I really need you two now."

"Come with me."

"The statistics are driving me crazy. If you two do well, you'll both be level 3 advanced talents in the future, and you'll be able to live in the advanced talent carriage and receive two 'Stellaris Coupons' every day."

"Come on."

"Very perfect."

Inside the 7th Guard Sleeper Carriage, Old Pig looked at the forms and statistical methods that Uncle Li handed over, and grinned with satisfaction: "Using your statistical methods, the three-way cross-check will indeed greatly reduce data errors, but the workload is relatively large, so I'll have to trouble you in the future."

"You will live in the 6th Male Advanced Talent Carriage in the future, which is the same as here, with sleepers."

"You won't have to mine in the future, just be responsible for this matter."

"Currently, there is only one Li Shiji living in that carriage, and only one Ji Chuchu living in the 5th Female Advanced Talent Carriage. Don't look around, don't listen to anything, and don't wander around."

"That's about it, you're still capable."

"Why have you been hiding your talent and mining all this time? Were you too tired before the apocalypse, and didn't want to use your brain after the apocalypse, wanting to relax and retire early?"

After Old Pig joked, he smiled and walked out of the carriage.

"Alright, go ahead, I'm going to be busy."

Inside the 6th Male Advanced Talent Carriage.

"Awesome!"

The young man who had been following Uncle Li couldn't help but pounce on the bed the moment he entered the carriage, covering his face with the pillow and taking a greedy deep breath, murmuring with intoxication.

"It's been a long time since I've stretched out my limbs so comfortably to sleep, and it's so soft, ah, and there are exclusive pillows, mattresses, and blankets!"

"And the space is so big!"

"It's so damn awesome!"

"Uncle Li, why do you look like you're not very happy?"

Standing in the aisle of the 6th carriage, Uncle Li, looking out the window at the mining residents, remained silent with a complex expression for a long time, before saying in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Although the result is exactly what I expected, the process is a path I never imagined."

"Is this right?"

"Is it wrong?"

The young man stretched out a satisfying lazy stretch, lying on the soft pillow with a look of enjoyment: "This is not a school exam, and the teacher has to grade you based on your answer process."

"As long as the answer is correct."

"Who cares what the process is."
