My Doomsday Train

After regaining his composure, Chen Mang slowly exhaled a long breath. He got up and stretched his muscles, only to feel a wave of drowsiness wash over him. It was already close to dusk, and he didn't have the energy to do anything else.

He immediately stopped the train where it was.

And just like that, he lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Mang, having finished washing up and once again restored to a state of energetic fullness, stretched contentedly. By this time, Old Zhu had already gathered all the slaves and assembled them in the open space, waiting for him to speak. This was his first official address to these new slaves.

After this speech was over,

they would begin preparing to go down into the mines.

“. . . ”

Chen Mang stood on the roof of the train, leaning on his cane, looking down at the densely packed crowd of people in front of him—a full thousand people. The last time he had spoken in front of so many people was when he was reading a letter of repentance under the flagpole at school.

The scene was a bit noisy at first, but after seeing Chen Mang, the scene gradually quieted down.

Biaozi and a group of thugs stood guard to the side with cold expressions, holding Tenglong assault rifles, maintaining order.

After a moment.

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Chen Mang.”

His voice was transmitted to the ears of every slave present through the train's external speakers.

“I've always treated slaves well. The 800 of you newly joined slaves of the Stellar Train should be able to feel that. What you are enjoying now is only the lowest, level 3 slave treatment.”

“You can have 10 pieces of fragrant, soft, filled bread every day, and two bottles of pure mineral water.”

“Compared to your previous living environment, you should all know in your hearts what this treatment is like.”

“See that Ji Chuchu over there?”

“The red-hot superstar before the apocalypse, you all recognize her, right?”

“I once promised you that as long as you worked hard, I would snatch Ji Chuchu to the Stellar Train. I did it. As a slave here, you can even enjoy treatment that other train leaders can't enjoy.”

Standing to the side, Ji Chuchu smiled and waved to the slaves, not at all shy. She even turned around and twisted her waist a couple of times, her face not carrying a trace of charm, and even the slight bite of her tongue carried a hint of playfulness, but it gave people an indescribable sense of allure.

She was a natural beauty.

“Moreover—”

Chen Mang paused with a calm expression before continuing: “The Stellar Train is currently the strongest train in the Tieling Wasteland. As long as you stay on the train, you can all be protected by the train, and you will never have to worry about safety again.”

“Food, water, shelter.”

“These are all provided to you by me.”

“I only need you to give back a little, to use all your strength to mine. Everyone's daily mining quantity will be recorded, and I will not mistreat anyone who works hard.”

“Now, all the women, step forward.”

As soon as the words fell,

the women among the slaves exchanged uneasy glances with each other, but they still stepped forward.

“Hmm.”

Chen Mang glanced over, there were about a hundred women, a relatively small proportion. He paused for a moment before opening his mouth: “On the Stellar Train, everyone needs to play their own value. Those who want to go mining like the other men, stand on the left. Those who want to take it easy, stand on the right.”

Soon.

A total of sixty-odd women ran to the left.

The remaining forty-odd women went to the right.

“Hmm?”

Chen Mang frowned slightly, looking at a woman standing on the right. She was a full 1.8 meters tall, covered in sinewy muscles, and her shoe size must have been at least 45. Her face even had a fierce look. He couldn't help but say, “I said, those who want to mine, stand on the left.”

“I'm not mining.”

This towering woman hurriedly squeezed out a smile that she thought was charming and said hastily, “I want to take it easy, I want to take it easy.”

“. . . ”

Chen Mang took a deep breath before waving his hand: “Biaozi, take her to the left. With that physique, what easy work is she doing if she's not mining? Professionals should do professional things.”

After dealing with this little interlude,

he looked at everyone again.

“When the amount of mining reaches a certain stage, you can be promoted to level 2 slaves, or even level 1 slaves. From now on, you won't have to worry about not having any mines to dig.”

The first couple was a middle-aged husband and wife.

On the other side of the train, Chen Mang leaned on his cane and stood on the wasteland, looking at the middle-aged couple in front of him. He felt that it was basically a sure thing. A middle-aged couple who would not abandon each other in the apocalypse should have true feelings.

He took out the 「Apocalypse Marriage Certificate」 and handed it to the middle-aged couple.

After patiently waiting for a few seconds.

There wasn't a single reaction.

“. . . ”

Chen Mang waved his hand, not feeling disappointed. He simply signaled the two of them to go down.

Soon, the second young couple was brought up, and it also ended in failure.

“Sigh.”

He sighed softly and put away the 「Apocalypse Marriage Certificate」 again. It seemed that this thing would be difficult to use for a short time. Finding a couple who truly loved each other in the apocalypse was too difficult.

At this time.

Old Zhu handed over a piece of paper.

“Master Mang, this is the draft of the train rules according to your instructions. Take a look.”

“Hmm.”

Chen Mang casually took the piece of paper and glanced at it, then stuffed it back into his pocket. A few of the rules still needed to be revised. The train still needed to have clear rules. But what was most important now was…

…to go back and forge the drill attachment first.

Inside the train compartment.

Chen Mang took out the white-grade vehicle attachment blueprint 「Drill」 from the drawer and immediately slapped it on the console. As the blueprint turned into white light spots, another 100 units of iron ore were consumed.

The next moment—

a huge drill appeared in the front section of the train head, capable of extending and retracting freely.

Without the slightest pause.

He consumed 4400 units of iron ore in one breath, directly upgrading the white attachment 「Drill」 to level 10.

“So cheap.”

Chen Mang couldn't help but sigh. 4400 units of iron ore was only enough for his batch of slaves to eat for three days. Although it felt a bit expensive when feeding them, when he arrived at the advanced resource mine deep underground, this batch of slaves would unleash unbelievable production efficiency.

At that time.

The iron ore in his train would be so abundant that he couldn't use it all.

Among all the trains in the 「Tieling Wasteland」, he should be the only one who owns the 「Drill」 attachment. That is to say, only he can mine the advanced resource mine below the ground, and no one can compete with him.

Unless other trains also have the ability to go to 「Kunlun Mountain」 to find a pangolin and then obtain the drill attachment blueprint.

Once the resource mines deep beneath the Iron Ridge Wasteland are completely excavated, his train, even if it goes to a high-level area, won't be as pathetic as it is now.

The upgrade of drill accessories is mainly reflected in two aspects.

First, the hardness of the drill.

Second, the speed of the drill.

The former ensures that as long as the drill's level is high enough, basically no rock underground can stop the train's progress. If the drill's level is low, it can only choose to detour when encountering some harder rocks.

The latter ensures the efficiency of drilling.

In other words, it guarantees the speed of the train when traveling underground.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

The speed of traveling underground is definitely not as fast as on the surface. The higher the drill's level and the faster the speed, the faster it can travel underground.

"Let's go!"

Chen Mang didn't stay any longer. He gathered all the slaves onto the train and controlled it to speed all the way towards the coordinates of the Doomsday Abyss.

Several hours later.

The Stellar train, having successfully arrived at the Doomsday Abyss, switched back to "Spider Legs" and traveled along the cliffside towards the depths of the valley. When it was about to reach the bottom, the drill extended and began to rotate at high speed.

The entire train, as smooth as a hot knife through butter, quickly submerged into the ground and disappeared.

The underground is completely dark.

There is no light at all.

He can only rely on the "Resource Detection Radar" to slowly drive towards the two level 2 iron mines next to the 2000-meter-deep underground river below the Doomsday Abyss. He glanced at the train data on the control panel.

The current speed is 170km per hour.

Not bad, pretty fast.

The train's "drill" opens up tunnels for the train to pass through. The soil is squeezed to both sides by the train. When the train passes, the soil on both sides slowly pushes back behind it, returning to its original position, which is equivalent to a temporarily preserved underground tunnel that cannot be used for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that—

This time, mining doesn't require groping in the dark. Although he still hasn't acquired lighting accessories like "Headlights," he also searched for a lot of supplies when searching for survivors in the ruins of Taiping City.

There are canned food, cigarettes, liquor, etc.

It also includes some entertainment measures, such as paper books and some video tapes of movies, as well as some industrial flashlights that use batteries. Although there aren't many, they are barely enough.

Soon.

Chen Mang, sitting in the control room, could already hear the sound of running water. The Stellar train finally successfully arrived at the underground river.

"..."

Chen Mang was the first to jump off the train, using a flashlight to look around. The beam swept across every corner. They are now in a giant cave, the air is quite humid, and in the darkness, the sound of the underground river hitting the rocks is constantly coming from the side.

The river channel is not wide.

It probably occupies a quarter of the width of the cave. The water level is lower than the open space next to it. If there is a sudden rainstorm, the water level may rise to fill the entire cave.

The oxygen is still sufficient.

At least he doesn't feel any discomfort when breathing alone. It's just that with so many people... I don't know if there is enough oxygen. Let's mine first and see. If it's really not enough, go to the train radio and ask which train captain has accessories for manufacturing oxygen.

Buy one back.

On that three-quarters of the open space next to the cave.

Two glistening level 2 iron mines are located there, as tempting as the top courtesan in a brothel.

At this time, a group of slaves, under the guidance of Lao Zhu and others, lined up to receive their pickaxes and today's food, and began to walk into the mine in batches to swing their pickaxes and start mining.

Finally—

This pleasant and crisp clang, clang sound, once again frequently rang in Chen Mang's ears.

"It's really the most wonderful sound in the world."

Chen Mang smiled with satisfaction. It was not in vain that he took so much effort to venture into Kunlun Mountain, nearly dying nine times out of ten. He is very satisfied with this reward.

Next, it's time for him to reap the rewards.

Inside the train compartment.

When the other slaves had already started working busily, Chen Mang sat alone in the train compartment, put his feet on the table, lit a cigarette and put it to his mouth, enjoying the film of this world with ease and comfort.

Not bad, it's quite good-looking.

It's quite novel.

It's a doomsday movie. It seems to have a strong sense of immersion and substitution. If the train was in the middle of a zombie horde instead of being located under a cave at this time, the sense of substitution would be even stronger.

When the slaves are busy, he has nothing to do.

When the slaves are idle, then he has to get busy.

The operating rules of the train are like this.

The train captain decides the general direction, and the people below execute the detailed tasks, each indispensable.

Chen Mang looked at the two supermodel effects after the "Drill" accessory was upgraded to level 10.

-

"Drill Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Extremely hard, speed increased.

"Drill Level 10 Supermodel Effect": Even harder, faster speed.

-

To be honest.

This is the first time he has seen such a pure supermodel effect, without any mechanism, a simple and pure numerical beauty.

The original effect of the drill upgrade is to increase the hardness and speed of the drill.

As a result, the two supermodel effects are specifically to enhance this effect.

It is conceivable.

With this level of "Drill" accessory, even if other trains also have "Drills," the speed of traveling underground is far inferior to his.

And

"..."

Chen Mang thought thoughtfully. Since this drill is so hard and fast, it should not only be used for traveling underground, right? He can completely control the train to crash into other trains. It feels like if the armor level is not high enough, it would be difficult to stop it.

Soon.

He threw these thoughts out of his mind. He had been tired for several days, and he didn't want to think about these things for the time being. Now is his relaxation time.

Then he once again stared intently at the doomsday film on the side.

At this time in the movie, the male protagonist was already surrounded by zombies, deeply besieged. Just when Chen Mang was wholeheartedly invested in wanting to see how the male protagonist could get out of the siege, a translucent panel suddenly popped up in front of the male protagonist.

There was a line of small characters on the panel.

"Ding, you have unlocked the system that makes you stronger by killing zombies."

"Fuck."

Chen Mang, who saw this scene, was slightly stunned and then couldn't help but cursed: "Are all the movies in this world filmed like this?"
