My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 217 "Train Dungeon".

That’s all the information.

"."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly pushed the operating lever. As the drill bit extended, he was ready to try to drill out. He was also curious about one question: why did such a thing as a "train dungeon" exist?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to just take the train conductor to the dungeon?

There is no need to build such a large dungeon.

Moreover, with the train conductor's own abilities, it would be impossible for him to escape from the dungeon without a train.

If you can catch the train, you can catch the conductor.

next moment--

"Oh!"

The Star train crashed heavily into the iron railing, and then the drill bit, which was as high as 50 levels, only produced sparks but showed no wear when it hit the iron railing. The strength of the iron railing was a bit ridiculous.

He tried the surrounding walls again.

It looks like an earth wall.

But after the collision, not even a speck of dirt was left behind.

"."

Chen Mang picked up the intercom with an expressionless face. "Lao Zhu, Li Shiji, Biaozi, and the others, get out of the car. Xiao Ai, you get out too. Let's figure out how to leave this dungeon."

It is clear.

It is definitely impossible to get there by force, so the only way is to use wits. And whenever it comes to using wits, it is always good to have more people, so everyone can offer their ideas.

Inside the dungeon.

The train dungeon is parked nearby.

Old Pig stood at the iron railing, somewhat puzzled, and said hesitantly, "Master Mang, the gap between these railings is a full meter. Even Zhang Damei could get through. This thing can only stop the train, right?"

"No one can stop it."

"Wait a minute, don't rush out."

Li Shiji frowned as he carefully examined the patterns and clues in the corners of the dungeon. He analyzed the information carefully and said, "According to the information we have, the train was captured less than 24 hours ago and escaped from this train dungeon."

"And the mechanical civilization still doesn't know how that train did it."

"I now have a rough idea of ​​the origin of the adventure map."

"It's probably related to the 'anchor point'."

"Anchor point?" Chen Mang, who was standing aside with a cane, nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, anchor!"

Li Shiji nodded seriously. "For example, when you humans look back on your life, it's impossible for you to remember every memory clearly. You can only remember some of the more profound memories."

"For example, being rejected the first time you confessed your love."

"It's the first time I've embarrassed myself in front of everyone."

"It was the first time I got scolded by my boss."

"Can't you say something nice?" Biaozi said angrily, "And what do you mean by you humans? You're not a human, are you?"

Li Shiji's face showed no extra expression. He continued to speak while carefully searching for clues, "Humans tend to remember painful memories more easily than happy ones."

"And I'm really different from you."

"I can basically remember every memory since I can remember, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"Hyperthymesia?"

"It's not that exaggerated. It's not as bad as hyperthymesia."

"These anchors support the human organism. In other words, if these anchors in a person's mind were instantly erased, it would be like starting over, and the memory of the first half of their life would be completely wiped out."

"And these adventure maps we visited are a bit like the 'anchor points' of mechanical civilization."

"Didn't you notice?"

"Whether it's the 'Tower of Babel', the 'Neon City', the 'Ground Core Nuclear Bomb', or the current 'Train Dungeon', they are all important anchor points in the history of mechanical civilization."

“It’s a bit like that.”

"Well, if you dissect a human's anchor carefully, you'll find something a bit like obsession."

Speaking of it.

Li Shiji withdrew his gaze from the train dungeon and tilted his head to look at Chen Mang. "Master Mang, I don't have many clues, but I know what kind of train I was imprisoned on. It was a blood train."

"Based on this dungeon and the information we learned previously."

"It is clear."

"When the Flesh Train reaches a certain level, the conductor can no longer leave his Flesh Train, or rather, the two become one. This explains the appearance of the train dungeon and the large gaps in the iron railings."

"."

Chen Mang didn't say anything. He had just thought of this. It was not a difficult thing to deduce, but since Li Shiji did not find any other clues in the dungeon.

Just have to go outside and explore.

He walked in front with a cane, passed through the iron railings, and came to the corridor outside the train dungeon. Dim lights spread on the ground. The corridor was extremely high and wide, and could easily accommodate several mechanical trains running side by side.

On both sides of the corridor are train dungeons.

However, the "iron railings" of these train dungeons are in a scrapped state, as if they were forcibly destroyed. The dungeon they belong to is the first one on the far right of the corridor, and the corridor can only turn left.

There were no clues along the way.

The corridor is probably several hundred meters long.

At the end of the corridor, they saw the first unopened "train dungeon". The iron railings were not damaged at all, and in the corner of this dungeon, there was a huge flesh and blood train curled up.

Yes, curl up.
A normal mechanical train would not curl up in a corner in this position.

It looked like this flesh train had been scrapped for a long time. The flesh armor on the carriages had already turned black and dried up, and there was no trace of life in the train dungeon.

Chen Mang looked down at the key card in his hand.

Perhaps this access card is used to open this dungeon? However, in this dungeon, people can easily pass through the iron bars, so this access card seems somewhat useless.

He handed the access card to Zhang Yi who was standing beside him.

The key was too high for him to reach.

Zhang Yi took the access card and gently pressed it against the "access lock" on the iron railing. After three seconds, there was no response.

"Master Mang, let me go in and take a look."

at this time--

Biaozi volunteered and said seriously, "Maybe there are some clues in there."

"I'll go too." Li Shiji also said.

"Ah."

Chen Mang frowned slightly: "You two should be careful."

"Yes!"

ten minutes later.

Biaozi and Li Shiji walked out of the train dungeon and shook their heads.

"There are no clues."

Li Shiji shook his head and said, "I stepped on Biaozi's shoulders and lay down in the train room to take a look. It was completely empty. This flesh and blood train looked a bit like a living organism. It gave people the feeling that it was not scrapped, but dead."

Chen Mang nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he turned to look at the stairs behind him and strode towards the next floor.

At the end of the corridor, opposite the dungeon where the Flesh Train is curled up in the corner, there is a staircase that leads to the upper level. It seems that the clue should be on the upper level.

There are no stairs going down, only up.

This layer.

It was still a corridor, and on both sides of the corridor were train dungeons. The train dungeons here were also destroyed and looked unrecognizable.

After groping for a long time.

They found a very small "dungeon" in the corner of the corridor. It was obviously not on the same level as the surrounding dungeons. The dungeon was only 2 meters high and covered an area of ​​about ten square meters.

The gaps in the iron bars of this dungeon are only as thick as a thumb.

It is absolutely impossible for humans to pass through it.

And
It's a bit too thin. The gap between the iron bars of a cage in a normal human prison is about 10 centimeters. It's meaningless to be too thin. This width can already prevent many humans from getting out of the gap.

There is also an "access lock" on the iron railing.

Chen Mang took out the access card and stuck it on the access lock.

next moment--

The access card in his hand suddenly shattered, turning into countless points of light that merged into the access lock. Then a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the access lock suddenly broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

The iron railings were instantly retracted to the ground.

The dungeon that was originally tightly closed suddenly became unobstructed.

There was nothing in this small and cramped dungeon except a humanoid mummy and a chip and a blueprint placed on the table next to a small bed.

There was a steel plate hanging on the wall with four big words written on it.

"Flesh and blood cage."

"."

Chen Mang looked around thoughtfully. This place was a bit similar to where the warden stayed, except that this warden looked a bit like a human. In addition to a chip and a blueprint, there was also an access card on the table next to him. This access card should be the "access card" that could open their cage.

Besides
There were still a few A4 papers piled on the table, with a lot of information recorded on them. However, because so much time had passed, it was impossible to see what was written on them. With a slight touch, the papers turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

It seems that all the answers should be in that chip.

He looked around again, but didn't find any clues. Instead, he frowned, picked up the "access card", and walked straight to the next floor, ready to try whether he could really open it.

When Zhang Yi took the access card and placed it on the "access lock".

next moment!
All the scenes around them suddenly began to shatter, and when everything froze again, they had appeared at the position before entering the adventure map.

"How's it going, Master Mang?"

Erdan's voice came from the train room speakers: "I remember this map was limited to 24 hours. You guys came out so quickly, did you complete it?"

"I don't know."

Chen Mang shook his head with a strange look on his face. He had cleared the level but didn't get any rewards. There was only a blueprint and a chip. Most importantly, he didn't understand the adventure map.

There are no clues at all.

In order to pass this adventure map, you must have a "dungeon access card", otherwise you will not be able to get the access card to the warden's dungeon and will not be able to pass it.

etc.
He realized what was strange. It should be the warden's office. Why did the warden decorate his office in a dungeon style?

It seems that we have to wait until the chip is completely absorbed by Xiao Ai before we can know the specific situation of this adventure map. I hope it contains some useful information.

The Stellar Train sets off again!
Anyway.

At least there are no regrets in the "Zombie Basin" anymore, and all the resources we need have been obtained. Next, it's time to continue to the blue area "Crisis Valley".

this time--

The Stellar train did not make any stops.

Heading straight towards the "Valley of Crisis"!

He had a vague anticipation for this new area.

About ten minutes later.

Xiao Ai's voice came from the speakers in the cabin of the Star Train as it sped across the wasteland.

"Master Mang, the information in the chip has been absorbed."

"how to say"

"This map isn't the one we're supposed to be in. We've come to the wrong place. This is a Flesh Train opportunity map."

"A long time ago, a flesh train escaped from here. The warden discovered that the train escaped by transforming into a thin layer of flesh armor that covered the train conductor."

"Although he's human, he possesses defense and strength worthy of being called a flesh train. He could definitely be called superhuman."

"It was easy to squeeze through the gap in the iron railing."

"And smashed all the dungeons and released all the flesh trains. As for why the flesh train in the corner wasn't released, I don't know."

"The iron bars in the dungeon where the warden is staying are a protective measure. If any accident occurs in the prison, the protective measure will be activated to ensure that the warden is not harmed. However, it cannot be opened from the inside, so a rescue from the outside is required."

"But it's clear that the mechanical civilization doesn't seem to have the energy to take care of this mess, and the warden died in there."

"This chip contains his message."

“And that blueprint.”

"It was stuffed in by the Flesh Train that escaped that year. It's a purple-grade accessory. With this accessory installed on the Flesh Train, you can maintain your sanity as much as possible and gain the upper hand in the fight with the Flesh Train."

"Now it seems——"

"The ultimate goal of the Flesh Train class is to become one with the train. However, after obtaining certain accessories, you can maintain your consciousness even after merging. For example, with this accessory, you can even reach the height of the train, transforming the Flesh Train into armor and ultimately becoming a god in the flesh!"

"And the only way to open this warden's dungeon is with your 'access card,' Master Mang."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the person who exchanged this access card with you for the Murphy Stone should be a Flesh Train. Logically speaking, this opportunity should have been his, but he sold it."

"."

Chen Mang's face was slightly strange. This time he understood, and then he stuffed the accessory blueprint into the drawer.
It’s confirmed, this flesh and blood train is indeed a trap.

Let's see when this thing can be used.

Nearly an hour later.

The Stellar Train arrived at the junction of the "Zombie Basin" and the "Crisis Valley".

A huge light curtain spanned the middle of the two areas, and three huge words appeared in the air.

"Valley of Crisis".

And a few lines of words slowly appeared on the train screen.
-
"The area ahead is the blue zone, the Crisis Valley."

"Monsters up to level 12 can exist. The current train level is level 10, so the risk factor is high. Please be careful."
-
“A new journey has begun.”

Chen Mang, sitting in the train cabin, looked at the light curtain in front of him and slowly pushed the joystick. The Star Train began to accelerate rapidly, passing through the light curtain and heading straight for the Crisis Valley!

He laughed.

He felt that adrenaline rush again.

“I hope the rest of the journey will be smooth enough.”

"Master Kun is here."

"Please bless me with a safe journey. After all, I have carried your dream all the way here."

"Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today."

"It can be regarded as a favor for recognizing your talent. I will burn a few incense sticks for you next time."
