My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 258 "Why don't you say hello to Master Mang?! What are you all standing there for?"

After throwing the note aside.

Chen Mang didn't look back, and strode out of the space gate without stopping at all.

You are really being too arrogant and even want rewards. As a "train auxiliary AI", you should do all the work. The "enemy search radar" accessories have been continuously developed since they were created, but you haven't asked for any rewards. You can't get special treatment just because you are an AI!
Chen Mang had never said such shameful words in his two lives.

It's not possible this time either.

"."

Only Xiao Ai, with eyes full of resentment, was left standing in the space gate, looking at the note that floated in the air for several circles and then slowly fell to the ground. She paused for a while before stepping forward to pick up the note again.

"Xiao Ai, your wisdom is like an endless treasure, enchanting me. You are like a bright star, illuminating the night sky of my life. You are my wind and rain, and we will never forget each other as we walk together."

It's just over 200 words.

Shame?

Xiao Ai thought seriously. He felt that it was just some sincere compliments. Why did the conductor react so strongly? Could it be caused by the difference between human thinking and AI thinking?

He needs to find some time to think about this problem seriously.

soon--

The Star sailed out of the Goblin's Tomb and mined for 48 hours straight, bringing in more than 600 million iron ores. There really wasn't much left to mine. This was equivalent to a 100 yuan monthly payment card given to a child by his or her parents when he or she was young.

When I was young, I felt very happy because I could spend as much as I wanted. Every day I looked forward to the beginning of the month so that my credit limit would be refreshed.

But after becoming an adult, this 100 yuan limit for intimate payment is somewhat useless.

He has not distributed the "Neon City Free Admission Tickets" yet. He took some time out these two days to visit Neon City. The renovation there has not been completed yet and the workload is a bit heavy. It is estimated that it will take about 10 days at the earliest.

It is not an easy task to relocate and redecorate so many shops.

This also made him realize that even in the Goblin Tomb, he could still enter the Neon City by crushing the admission ticket.

The Stellar Train sat quietly in the wasteland of the "Crisis Valley," like a long mechanical dragon with no end in sight.

It was early morning.

The residents were all resting, and this time they were really resting. They had been digging for a month in the cave at the end of the train tunnel and should have taken a break, but due to unexpected circumstances, they only rested for one night and then went to the Goblin Tomb to dig for 48 hours without sleep.

It's really time to take a break.

Even an iron man can't stand this kind of use.

"."

Chen Mang was alone, holding a cigarette between his fingers, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the train room, gazing at the horizon. Xiaofang stood quietly beside him, holding an ashtray.

Xiaofang has basically been staying in the train room these days. The train room has become much more spacious. It feels a bit deserted when he is alone. It feels a little lively when there are more people around.

He was thinking quietly.

The "Neon City" plan is very important to him. It can be said to be the most important strategic plan of the Star in recent days. He is considering whether to set a solid anchor for the "Star Voucher".

That is, iron ore.

If stellar coupons and iron ore can be exchanged for each other, the train conductor can exchange iron ore for stellar coupons, and can also exchange stellar coupons for iron ore. As long as the credibility is improved, stellar coupons will become an extremely strong currency.

If he were a businessman, there would be nothing wrong with this idea. He could use this method to liven up the entire neon city.

but--

He is not, he is a train conductor surviving in the apocalypse.

Even though he is developing well now, he still has to be cautious when going to the high-level area.

He couldn't keep the iron ore he got in his hands in reserve forever, it had to be spent. It was true that he could leave 1000 million units of iron ore in Neon City for circulation, which was basically enough, but as long as there were a lot of people who used star coupons to exchange for iron ore at the same time.

Then there are only two outcomes for him.

First, it could not provide so much iron ore, and its credibility completely collapsed. Since then, no one has come to Neon City to trade.

Secondly, they had to force themselves to gather so much iron ore, which caused the development of the Star Train to almost come to a standstill and was quite damaging.

Two directions.

He was still thinking about the specific decision. There was still some time before the plan was officially implemented, which was enough time for him to think about it slowly and there was no need to rush.

"."

Xiaofang, who was standing quietly beside him with an ashtray in her hand, would occasionally glance at Mang Ye's legs and felt her heart beating slightly. For some reason, she thought Mang Ye was very handsome when he was thinking seriously.

Xiaofang's heart started beating at this moment.

But I didn't dare to jump much.

After all, even Sister Yan Yao, a woman of that level, did not move me at all.

Mang Ye is a pure career-oriented man.

Career-oriented men often put their careers first, and it is often difficult for such men to be truly sincere to a woman.

If it happened before the end of the world, it wouldn't be so absolute.

But in the end of the world, expecting a career-oriented man to hug you and say he will love you forever is as outrageous as competing for favor with Empress Ma.

"Xiao Fang."

"Xiao Fang?"

At this moment, Xiaofang suddenly came back to her senses and looked up at Master Mang. Seeing Master Mang's slightly frowned brow, she hurriedly whispered, "Master Mang, go ahead."

"Bring me a bottle of water."

"Yes!"

Chen Mang took the mineral water, took a sip, then walked back to the control panel and sat down. He looked at the screen and had an idea in his mind. After sending a private message to Erdan, he pushed the joystick.

The Star Train was suspended above the ground, moving forward at a steady and not too fast speed.

Extremely fast acceleration.

In less than a second, the speed of the Star Train reached 328km/h, but the interior of the car was very stable, and even the water on the table did not ripple. Too fast a speed consumes a lot of energy, so when you are not in a hurry, every bit of energy saved is a good thing.

His goal is.

The westernmost part of the Crisis Valley area is the "Arctic Plains".

The Crisis Valley area intersects with four areas, two of which are blue areas and two are green areas.

His target this time was one of these areas.

He plans to go to the purple area in 10 days, which is when the transformation of the "Neon City" is completed. At that time, he can first issue admission tickets in the three blue areas, and then issue them again along the "Train Tunnel" in the Shahe Plain and Tieling Wasteland areas.

There is a straight line from the white area "Tieling Wasteland" to the blue area "Crisis Valley".

In other words, if you want to go up from the Tieling Wasteland, you will eventually end up in the Crisis Valley. There is no other path to choose. The number of its initial users is limited, and it cannot spread far.

He must find a way to reach people in more areas in order to have a sufficient number of users.

About three hours passed.

He saw the familiar intersection of the areas again. Four huge words were suspended on the light curtain at the intersection of the areas, and two lines of words appeared on the control panel screen again.
-
"The area ahead is a blue zone, an extremely cold place."

"Monsters can exist up to level 12. The current train level is level 12, so the danger factor is relatively low."
-
Crisis Valley does not intersect with any purple areas. To reach the other purple areas in front of Crisis Valley, you must go to the two blue areas to the west and east. The "Arctic Land" intersects with six areas: one white area, one green area, three purple areas, and one yellow area.

The temperature here is extremely low.

As soon as he entered the area, Chen Mang, who was sitting in the train, felt gusts of cold air seeping into the train cabin. Frost even quickly formed on the surface of the train. The screen showed that the temperature here was "-58℃".

The biting temperature.

Splashing water and making ice are the most basic.

If you have nothing to do and want to lick the train armor, your tongue will basically be half useless. But it tastes pretty good, sweet, with a hint of warm rust.

"."

Chen Mang, sitting in the train cabin, looked at the various information appearing on the screen. The temperature in this area was extremely low, and all aspects of the train would be affected in this kind of weather. Apart from anything else, at least the residents could not mine normally under such circumstances.

After a day of mining, one or two people are guaranteed to freeze to death.

This is no joke.

Especially when there are not enough warming measures.

There are almost no trains in this area, and of course no mines. There are only some monsters that like cold environments. In most cases, this place is used as a transit point. From time to time, trains will enter here to hunt monsters.

Monsters in this area have a chance to drop train parts such as "sleds" and "snow machines" after death.

at this time--

"Dudududu!"

The train whistled as it came from a distance, and then the "Travel Frog" was seen rushing in from a distance, and slowly slowed down after approaching the Star. As the door of the first layer of the Star train head opened, the Travel Frog smoothly drove into the interior of the Star train head.

Followed by.

Erdan, shivering with cold, took the elevator from the first floor of the train room to the second floor. He strode towards Chen Mang and said with a breath of hot air, "Master Mang, you're looking for me."

"It's time to say it or not."

"Now that I'm back on the Star, I feel like I'm back home. I feel completely safe."

"Ah."

Chen Mang nodded, turned around in his chair, looked at Erdan, and said with a smile, "I see you haven't found the adventure map yet, so take a break. For the next ten days, you and your group can go to the residential car and play for a while."

"Prepare to go to the purple area in ten days."

"Besides, isn't your train currently at level 10 and your armor at level 9? During this period of time, you need to upgrade your train to level 12 and your armor by one level."

"It's nothing. Bring your people with you. Old Pig will receive you."

"Row!"

Erdan grinned and nodded emphatically, "Master Mang, you really understand those young men under my command. They really have been thinking about this for a long time."

"I'll go down and bring them up."

soon--

Erdan and his thugs took the elevator to the first floor of the train room again. "Why don't you say hello to Master Mang?! What are you all standing there for?"

"Hello, Master Mang!"

A dozen thugs looked at Master Mang with respect and excitement, bowed together and spoke loudly.

"Well, go down and play."

"Thank you, Master Mang!"

A dozen thugs followed Erdan and took the elevator to carriage No. 2. They couldn't help but look around in curiosity. Carriage No. 2 was really big, 10 meters wide, 10 meters high, and 30 meters long.

This is not even a carriage.

It feels like standing in a space station, a huge space station at that. There are many large production lines around, most of which are in standby state, and only a few production lines are running and continuously producing one item after another.

There was no one in the entire space except them.

Looks quite lonely.

The ceiling is inlaid with 100 heavy machine guns and dozens of mechanical eyes. The density of the cameras is higher than that of Haidilao.

"Egg Master."

A thug following behind him said gloomily, "Why did you just tell us to say hello to Master Mang? Why are you just standing there?"

"We weren't standing there in a daze. We were about to say something when we came up, but you interrupted us."

"It was obviously us who wanted to speak up, but you made it seem like we were forced to say it, Master Dan. Will Master Mang think we are ignorant because of this?"

"Eh?"

Erdan turned his head speechlessly and looked at the thug beside him: "I find that you are a bit stubborn."

"Let me ask you, when your relatives came to your house before the apocalypse, did your mother tell you to say hello quickly and not just stand there? Did you stand there? Even if your mother didn't tell you to, would you still have said hello?"

"You know why not?"

"I can't figure it out, I'll figure it out slowly. I really want you to, hey, hurry up and follow me."

Three minutes later.

Erdan brought a group of thugs to the No. 5 carriage for senior female talents.

There was a corridor separating this carriage, and on the left side of the corridor was a row of hard sleeper berths and activity space. He knew that only Mang Ye and his two women lived in this carriage.

"It seems I have to give Master Mang a suggestion."

Erdan looked up at the car door which was still 30 meters away from him and muttered softly.

Please leave the bicycle in the train, otherwise we are only in Car 5 and we have to walk a long distance to get to Car 11.

Normally, he wouldn't walk so slowly.

mainly.
So strange.

This was his first time walking from beginning to end on the Stellar train, which made him unable to help but look at everything. He felt that everything he saw was strange. There were basically no people in the first few carriages.

When they reached carriage No. 7, Lao Zhu came up and looked at them with a smile.

"Next, I'll take you for a tour inside the train."

"Mr. Mang said, we are all family, don't be too reserved. Although you don't have iris chips, you are still considered direct descendants of the Star, and your honor and disgrace are one with the Star. Come, this way."

The number of people in the following carriages gradually increased.

Many residents can be seen walking back and forth in the carriage.

Lao Zhu walked ahead and explained, "There are not many residents active right now. Most of them are asleep. They all worked the mines all night last night."

“On weekdays, there are more residents active here.”

"But most of the time, everyone's activities are still inside the space gate."
