My Doomsday Train

"Including the White Zone, there are also many trains they support, through the transportation of slaves, resources, and component blueprints, etc."

"You came from the Tieling Wasteland."

"In your area, there are also several promising trains that have accepted their funding."

"I must clearly tell you one thing again."

"They have no malice whatsoever. Don't ever have the idea that we want to persecute you. In the apocalypse, our common enemy is monsters. No one would design to send a train to hell just because it's developing faster. That's a foolish idea."

"If they held such thoughts, they wouldn't be able to attract so many people to join."

"Our first meeting."

"How about a private meeting between just the two of us in the 'Combat Training Virtual Space'? I believe this can dispel your concerns. I'll open a private arena room, number '28301', password is six 8s."

"If you're willing, we can chat in the arena."

"I believe you must have upgraded this component to level 5, right?"

“.”

Chen Mang looked at the long string of words in the train radio private chat box, frowned and pondered for a long time, then strode towards the Combat Training Virtual Space.

Organization?

After the apocalypse, the entire world was divided into several zones. High-level trains absolutely cannot enter low-level zones. How can an organization be established in this situation? He didn't mind contacting the other party. They clearly seemed to know more information.

After the Combat Training Virtual Space is upgraded to level 5, you can participate in ranked matches and fight against members of other trains of the same level.

Five minutes later.

Chen Mang stood alone on an arena in the 'Combat Training Virtual Space'. Standing in front of him was a fairly young man, not very tall, about 1.7 meters.

“First, let me introduce myself, my name is Qi Tian.”

The man smiled and sat on the ground, signaling him to sit down too, before saying, "Try to relax. When I was first contacted by this organization, I was just like you, full of vigilance."

“But you must believe one thing.”

“In the apocalypse, even a notoriously evil train captain is meritorious because he can kill more monsters.”

“Chen Mang.”

Chen Mang replied and sat cross-legged on the ground as well, but his brow furrowed slightly. He didn't show any vigilance or nervousness. With his strength, he wasn't afraid of this person at all.

But from the beginning of the private chat, including just now when they met, the other party kept emphasizing that he should relax.

This is a common pua tactic used by superiors.

Repeating 'relax' several times will make you feel nervous even if you were fine before, and it also establishes potential power. Most people can't sense the hidden offense in these words, but this was a method he used most often when managing the company before the apocalypse, and he could detect it very keenly.

“Okay.”

The man nodded seriously, "Then let's begin our first official contact. The organization is called 'Balance'. Before we start talking, let me ask you a few questions. A White component blueprint is definitely useless to you now, right?"

“Useful.”

“Even if it's useful, it's definitely not very useful, right?”

Chen Mang frowned slightly, "Have you guys only had a few good days and started getting arrogant like this?"

“Do you know that 100 slaves have to mine 1st-level iron ore for a whole day to mine 1000 units of iron ore?”

“Okay.”

The man's mouth twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and said again, "Then let's put it another way. For example, if you have an extra White component blueprint, or if you have too many slaves and can't afford to feed them, would you be willing to give them away at this time?"

“Unwilling.”

Chen Mang sized up the man with a strange expression, "Why don't you give me all your slaves? If I have too much, can't I trade them? Give them away? Is the purpose of your organization to accumulate merit in this life, and then wait until everyone dies in the apocalypse to use the merit points to talk to Buddha about reincarnation?"

“…”

The man sat cross-legged on the ground with a blank expression, looked down at his toes and remained silent for a long time before continuing regardless.

“The organization is called Balance.”

“The organization's mission is to give some of the things you don't need to people in lower zones, so that more trains can develop.”

“For example, trains in the Yellow Zone give some of the things they don't need to us, and we need to give some of the things we don't need to trains in the White Zone.”

“This is the purpose of the organization.”

“Not to earn any damn merit points.”

“In this organizational chain, everyone can get more benefits than they put in. Even the lowest-level trains, after benefiting and growing up, need to continue to input materials to the trains in the White Zone.”

“Although the organization cannot go to low-level zones, it has ways to contact trains in low-level zones, such as letting trains in the White Zone wait at the zone junction for trains to come and transport materials.”

“Although there are survivors in each zone, and train tokens also drop in each zone, basically 80% of the trains have grown up from the White Zone so far. In the Green and higher-level zones, 1st-level trains simply have no room to grow.”

“It is precisely because of this system that trains have been constantly growing up even though the apocalypse has been going on for more than a year.”

“One day, we will clear all the monsters and rebuild our home on this already devastated planet.”

Chen Mang didn't speak, just sized up the young man in front of him. Rebuild their home?

That's definitely impossible.

If they can't achieve interstellar travel within five years, they should just wait to die. According to the information he saw in the Abyss of Doomsday, observation windows similar to the 'Abyss of Doomsday' shouldn't only exist in the Tieling Wasteland. This organization doesn't know about this news.

Or are they hiding it and not telling others.

“Well, the purpose is very good, then what?”

“The organization hopes you can join. As a gift, we will give you a big gift, such as 50,000 units of iron ore.”

“So little?”

“Little?” The man was slightly stunned, “You weren't even willing to throw away 1000 units of iron ore just now.”

“These are two different things.”

The man paused in silence for a while before continuing, “The 50,000 units of iron ore for you is from a train in the Yellow Zone, and they wouldn't be willing to give more. And you only need to give 5,000 units of iron ore to a designated train in the White Zone.”

“Back and forth, it's like you've made a net profit of 45,000 units of iron ore.”

“This is a surefire win-win deal.”

“Moreover, after joining this organization, there won't be any mission requirements for you. You have no superiors. Everyone is just gathering together to keep warm,”

Chen Mang nodded: “How long has your organization been around?”

“About six months.”

“Which area is your organization's strongest train in?”

“Not sure.”

“According to your organization's structure, the strongest trains are always in the position of provider. I'm a little curious, are their resources unlimited? Can they keep providing downwards?”

The boy was silent again for a while before speaking: “You're thinking too highly. I don't know. I didn't expect you to be so resistant, because in my opinion, it's all beneficial.”

“Isn't it good for everyone to stick together to keep warm in the apocalypse?”

“It is.”

Chen Mang got up and glanced at the boy casually: “But I'm too lazy to run to the white area to deliver iron ore to people, and I'm too lazy to go to the yellow area to receive that pitiful 50,000 units of iron ore, so you guys can keep warm, I'll just stay cold.”

Having said that, he walked towards the outside of the arena.

But just then.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.

The boy's faint voice came from behind.

“I must remind you again that everyone who accepts the invitation but then refuses will be regarded as anti-human. Perhaps no one dares to provoke you in the green area, but when you go to the yellow area, the organization has established a base there.”

“Unless you never go to the yellow area in your life.”

“In the apocalypse, anyone who refuses to stick together to keep warm can be regarded as anti-human.”

“…”

Chen Mang, who had just walked out of the arena, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, and then came to the boy again with his cane, raised the boy's chin with his cane, and smiled.

“Were you threatening me just now?”

“Then help me spread the word.”

“If anyone in your organization dares to provoke me, I will kill everyone I see from the Scales organization in the future.”

“Including you.”

“Don't provoke me, you little sissy who sells his ass to AI. Got it?”

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and walked towards the outside of the arena. He wasn't interested in that organization at all. It sounded like a lot of trouble. It might be helpful to others, but to him, it was just a waste of his time.

“…”

Sitting cross-legged on the arena, the boy looked at Chen Mang's leaving figure, his face gloomy and dripping with water, and his eyes flashed with thick anger!

This was the first time someone dared to insult him with such dirty words!

Moreover, his AI was a woman, not a man, and he was not some damn little sissy!

He was an A-grade potential train, and even in the future, this A-grade potential would be of great help to him. He was also a core seed in the organization, and no one had ever dared to talk to him like this. Did they think that anyone had the ability to complete an A-grade difficulty mechanical job transfer task?

Even if other people wanted to sell their ass.

They didn't have the ability!

After taking a deep breath, he immediately exited the Battle Pilgrimage virtual space, came to the train radio, picked up the walkie-talkie, found the red chat box, and said in a hoarse voice: “Recruitment failed. He said that in the future, the people from Scales should provoke him less, otherwise he will kill one when he sees one.”

There was only a rustling sound of electricity from the walkie-talkie.

After a while, an old man's voice came.

“Then it's better not to provoke him. Everyone has their own ideas. Not everyone is willing to join the organization.”

“Your brother has been waiting for you in that base in the yellow area [Zombie Basin] behind Kunlun Mountain. My suggestion is that you try not to cause trouble, understand?”

“Did you threaten him?”

The boy hesitated for a moment before shaking his head: “No.”

“Well, it's good if you didn't. The Scales organization only has one rule: once you join, you can't quit. Since you have received the grace of others, you must also give grace to the people below, so that everyone can be better together. If you don't want to join, then it's fine, no need to create an enemy.”

“I know.”

After that, the boy hung up the phone, sat on the seat with an uncertain expression, and the person who was talking to him was a high-level member of Scales. He didn't know which area the other party was in, or how many levels the other party's train was, he only knew that it was very strong, and it was always the other party who contacted him.

The organization's rules do not allow threats.

He was just angry.

In his heart, Scales was a very sacred organization, and everyone worked together to keep warm. In his heart, he always felt that being able to join [Scales] was an honor, but the other party's dismissive appearance made him couldn't help but threaten him, wanting the other party to back down.

He didn't expect the other party to completely ignore his threat!

Damn it, didn't he make it clear just now that the Scales organization also has trains in higher-level areas? Why is a level 5 train in the green area so arrogant!

Just then—

“What's wrong?”

A woman walked over from the side, curled up in his arms, and whispered, wrapping her fingertips around the boy's chest: “Did someone make Tianye angry?”

“It's okay.”

The boy hugged the woman in his arms, took a deep breath, and then forced himself to calm down: “It's a small matter.”

“Then we…”

The woman smiled as her fingers gradually slid down.

“No!” The boy forcibly squeezed out a smile, quickly closed the lid again, and then said in a hoarse voice with a crying tone: “Didn't you just come four times last night? Can you slow down? It's been seventeen times this week, haven't you seen that my lips are pale?”

The smile on the corner of the woman's mouth slowly faded, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: “You don't love me anymore, do you? You're no longer interested in my body, are you?”

“Then let's destroy it together.”

The lid on the [Immediately Self-Destruct] button on the console next to it was immediately opened by the woman from a distance.

“Come on.”

The boy forcibly squeezed out a smile, quickly closed the lid again, and then said in a hoarse voice with a crying tone: “I love you, how can I not love you.”

“Let's do it now.”

This woman was his AI.

Under the night.

The boy lay on the chair with a hopeless look and despair in his eyes, looking at the blurred black shadow reflected on the car window that kept rising and falling on his body, and Chen Mang's words to him when he left kept floating in his mind.

If I had known…

If I had known, I wouldn't have wanted any A-grade potential at that time.

His brother also has A-grade potential, but his brother's AI doesn't have much demand for these things at all. It was only one night, while his brother was sleeping, that he activated the [Built-in Fire Control System] and killed all the female creatures in the train.

Including female slaves, and a sow, and two old hens.
