My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 266 "Why don't humans have similar racial talents?"

Everything is ready.

Today's mission: Explore the time rift!
but
Before that, we need to do a small experiment to test the specific speed of time flow. Is it that three seconds in the outside world means thirty years in the time rift, or no matter how many seconds in the outside world, thirty years will pass in the time rift.

If it's the latter.

Then it can't go in for even a minute. Who knows how many years will have passed. The steel cable will have turned into powder long ago, and the train will be lost in the "time rift" forever.

soon--

everything's ready.

Zhang Yi was driving the mecha in his hand, holding a steel cable with a heavy object tied to the other end. He suddenly threw the steel cable into the time rift ten meters away again. This time, it took a full minute to take the steel cable out.

"."

Chen Mang, who was inside the train, looked at the steel cable that Zhang Yi handed over and compared it carefully with the previous steel cable. There was almost no difference. In other words, even if one minute passed in the outside world, thirty years would have passed in the time rift?

“Is that right?”

He frowned slightly, and for a moment he was a little confused about what this time rift was, but at least it proved that it was the former situation. Li Shiji and others could stay in the time tunnel for a full minute without any impact.

"Have that hero and Li Shiji ready to go."

"And Xiao Ai, send a body in to check on the situation."

"Yes!"

One minute later.

As the steel cable suddenly retracted, a Level 1 locomotive was also pulled out from the time rift. The time rift was extremely difficult to observe with the naked eye, and the whole picture looked like a locomotive appeared out of thin air.

The picture is extremely sci-fi.

As soon as the train was pulled back, Xiao Ai, who was standing inside, said, "Master Mang, my body didn't bring back any information. The database is zero, with no signs of being cleared. It looks like it wasn't entered at all."

"Ah."

Not long after, Li Shiji pushed open the door of the train room, walked into the second floor of the train room, walked all the way to Chen Mang who was standing in front of the control panel, and then spoke hoarsely with a serious face and a hint of shock in his eyes.

"Mr. Mang!"

"That time tunnel, as the brave man said, is indeed incredibly vast. It's estimated to be at least tens of millions of kilometers wide. Humans have no concept of distances this large, yet it seems a bit close at hand."

"Without an accurate reference point, it's impossible to tell how wide the tunnel is. It just feels huge."

"On both sides of the tunnel is light flowing forward."

“What’s strange is…”

"It flows very slowly, like a river."

Li Shiji glanced around, picked up a flashlight from the table beside him, aimed it at the ground, and turned it on before continuing, "Look, as soon as I turned on the flashlight, the beam immediately reached the ground. You can't see the light's trajectory at all, right? That's the speed of light."

"But in that tunnel."

"You can clearly see the beam of light flowing forward like a spring."

"There's nothing in the entire tunnel except our train. There's only a half-length steel cable behind the train, and no portal or anything like that."

As he spoke, he drew on the screen beside him with his finger, and soon stopped what he was doing: "Master Mang, this is what it looks like inside."

"."

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the time tunnel on the screen. To be honest, he wanted to go and see the grand scene in person, but the Star was too big and could not enter the time rift at all.

"I threw a telescope into the time rift before. Did you see it?"

"No."

Li Shiji shook his head. "Although our Level 1 train can't fly, it's suspended in mid-air in the tunnel, and we can faintly feel a weak push. If it weren't for that steel cable pulling the train, we would have continued to the end of the space-time tunnel."

"At the end of the time tunnel, there may be another world."

"It's also possible that it appeared directly in the universe."

Chen Mang remained silent. Although he really wanted to go to the end of the time tunnel to see what was there, it was obviously a bit unrealistic. The "solar energy panels" were non-removable accessories and could not be sent in.

In fact, there is a way to know what is at the end of the time tunnel.

But
A bit risky.

"Goblin Ticket".

Theoretically, based on the information on the accessory's panel, you can be teleported back to the train no matter where you are.

It is many times stronger than the "train tickets" used by humans. There is no distance limit and it is almost impossible to be blocked. In some places, train tickets will be blocked and unable to return. In all these years, I have never encountered the situation of goblin tickets being blocked.

But the more than one hundred goblins are all living dead. They have no thoughts of their own and cannot communicate. The only ones who can think and communicate are "Mundo" and "Doba".

Both of them are extremely important to the Star Train, especially the former. He is also planning to make the former turn over a new leaf and stop doing these sneaky things in the future, and seriously distribute "Neon City Free Admission Tickets" like distributing flyers.

The latter cannot die even more.

The entire goblin clan could only understand Doba's words. Now that Doba is dead, the goblins can no longer understand him.

Now that we have run into the time tunnel, can the goblin ticket still be used?
Although these goblins can be resurrected after death, who knows where they will be resurrected, and whether they will die at the end of the time tunnel. What if they don’t die and just trap you? That would be a complete disaster.

"never mind."

Chen Mang shook his head and gave up the idea. He decided not to explore the time rift for the time being. When the train level is higher in the future, there will definitely be a better way to explore it.

at this time--

The train compartment door was suddenly pushed open.

Doba strode in with Mondo, his face serious and deep, he said, "Master Mang, I heard that you were exploring the time rift. I think our goblin tribe can help!"

"."

Chen Mang frowned slightly. He hadn't told anyone about the idea of ​​using the goblin ticket. It just flashed through his mind. How did Doba know about it?
"Mr. Mang, you don't know."

"In the universe, there are many races, and many races have unique talents. Our goblin race's talent is that it is not affected by the 'distorted magnetic field of time,' which means we can ignore time rifts."

"Let me go. If something goes wrong with me and I die and am resurrected in another area, I will find a way to contact the Star and return home again!"

"I haven't recovered much of my memory."

"But the moment I saw the time rift, something suddenly occurred to me."

Listen to Doba's decisive courage.

Chen Mang paused for a moment before turning his head to look at Xiao Ai. "Let's check the surveillance footage of Car 11 from those thirty minutes."

He wanted to know whether these goblins were in a state of stillness during the half hour when his space was still.

"I can't watch it. Didn't you permanently delete the surveillance footage from that period, conductor?"

"Oh, I forgot. Never mind."

Chen Mang didn't say anything more about this matter. Instead, he looked at Doba and said, "Don't worry. Send one of your tribesmen and tell him to crush the goblin ticket in his hand the second he sees the time tunnel."

"Try to see if the Goblin Ticket can be used in the Time Tunnel."

"Yes!"

On top of the train.

Zhang Yi, who was driving the Pope mecha, swung the steel cable in his hand again and threw the green-skinned goblin in his hand into it. After pausing for a second, he pulled the rope in his hand again, only to find it was empty. There was nothing at the other end of the steel cable, so there was no goblin at all.

And the goblin has reappeared on the train.

"Okay, okay."

Inside the train, after hearing the news, Chen Mang said it twice in succession, and a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes again. Since the goblin ticket can be used, then maybe Doba can really give it a try.

The mechanical eye is not working. The mechanical eye that went in just now didn't bring back any information or images, it was full of crackling noise.

just
This goblin ticket is much better than the train ticket!

In this case, the train ticket will definitely not be returned!

"In that case, Doba, go ahead and give it a try. If you die and resurrect in another area, I will issue a bounty and try to find you in every area possible."

"Yes, Master Mang, the great goblins are never afraid of any unknown risks. If everyone is afraid of unknown risks, then this civilization will remain stagnant forever. There must always be a group of pioneers who shoulder this responsibility."

Doba looked extremely serious. He took out a piece of white cloth from his arms and tied it around his pointed ears. Then he strode out of the train room.

As for the goblin who entered the time tunnel naked just now, there was indeed no sign of aging on his body. Goblins are truly born with the ability to ignore the effects of time rifts.

This is racial talent.

"Why don't humans have similar racial talents?"

Chen Mang muttered something before turning his head to look at Li Shiji who was standing beside him. "How's the old man tied up outside the train when your train went in for the second time?"

"He turned to ashes. The moment he entered, the old man turned into dry bones. Then he turned into ashes and dissipated in the tunnel visibly."

Doba was not operating any trains and was not armed with any weapons.

He was just tied up with space bags all over his body, each of which contained a goblin ticket. He even had a goblin ticket stuffed in his mouth. In case of emergency or serious injury, he could bite the goblin ticket in his mouth into pieces with his teeth.

"Brother, you are braver than me."

Zhang Yi's buzzing voice came from the loudspeaker of the Pope mecha: "Whether you can come back alive or not, I, Zhang Yi, admire you. Third sister told me last time that you are very arrogant and always say that you are the greatest goblin."

"I thought what my third sister said was right."

"But now I think he's wrong. You are indeed a great goblin."

"I'll never eat goblins again."

Doba, who was standing in the palm of the mecha and taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, was slightly stunned when he heard this. He tilted his head in disbelief and looked at Zhang Yi sitting in the mecha cockpit. He shouted angrily, "Have you ever eaten a goblin?" "Of course not."

Zhang Yi grinned, leaning his right hand back slightly, making a shot put throwing gesture: "A little bit of humor will help you relieve your tension. Are you ready? It's time to go."

next moment--

Doba was thrown directly out, hitting the time rift directly and disappeared in mid-air.

"How could anyone possibly eat green meat?"

Zhang Yi, sitting in the cockpit of the mecha, picked up a piece of roujiamo and stuffed it into his mouth with some emotion, and said indistinctly: "This Duoba is really brave."

In the time crack.

The scene before my eyes almost instantly changed from the abandoned city ruins to a space-time tunnel composed of countless flowing lights.

Feeling the subtle suction in front of him, a trace of fear gradually appeared in Doba's eyes. A strong sense of loneliness and helplessness instantly enveloped him. Looking back, he could no longer see the Star Train. It was like being thrown into the middle of the ocean in the middle of the night, and he could only hold on to a piece of driftwood to survive.

The feeling of impending death made his breathing quicken.

He is not as brave as he appears to be.

Goblins do have the ability to not be affected by the "distorted time magnetic field". It is said that after the end of the world, the goblins discovered this innate ability of the goblins after a period of experiments.

but.
He had never used this ability before. He was just an ordinary person among the goblins. But now he is the king, and as a king he must show the courage of a king.

There are only kings who die in battle, no king who is afraid of death.

Perhaps the words "King of the Goblins" gave him courage again. Doba's breathing gradually stabilized and he began to observe the surrounding environment. Without any reference, he had no way of judging how fast he was going.

I just have a feeling of chest tightness.

The speed is about the same as the flow rate of the surrounding light beams.

There was no sound around.

It was extremely quiet.

He could even hear the sound of blood flowing in his veins, and the sound of his heartbeat was like thunder, extremely clear and without lack of oxygen.

He just floated, floated, and kept floating.
Floating in the time tunnel.

From the fear at the beginning, to the calmness later, to the confusion now.

He didn't know how long he had been floating.

It just felt like a long time had passed. A month? Two months? Maybe even longer.

He looked down at the "Gnome Ticket" in the space bag, and thought of his experience on the Star. A strong desire to go home surged in his heart again. He wanted to go home, but his mission was not yet completed.

He has not yet seen the end of the time tunnel.

It may have been even longer.

In his mind, the appearance of Mr. Mang was gradually becoming blurred. He could only clearly remember that in the abyss of doomsday, Mr. Mang told him in a firm tone that he would be the king of the goblins in the future and would help him rebuild the goblin civilization.

He believed it.

I still believe it till now.

Never questioned it.

Goblins don't lie, except for "black market merchants".

He suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have gone to the residents' store to buy a game console before coming in. Maybe it could help him kill some boring time.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he had not spoken for too long and seemed to have lost the ability to speak. It seemed that he had stayed there longer than he thought. When he went out, would the Star Train have become a level 20 or even level 30 train?

Without him, would his people still listen to Mang Ye?
at this time--

The light beams that had been flowing at a constant speed around the space-time tunnel suddenly began to become chaotic and extremely messy. Before he could react, he saw a huge time rift appear at the end of the space-time tunnel.

The body was sucked up uncontrollably.

The scene changes.

Doba's body fell heavily from the air to the ground. This was the first time in such a long time that he felt the heavy feeling of being grounded. The tingling sensation in his body made his almost stagnant brain come alive again!
"Wow, ah, Lord Mang, Lord Mang, Doba, the great goblin!"

Doba stood there and pronounced the words with some difficulty, allowing his language ability, which had not been used for a long time, to recover. Then he quickly looked around. There were city ruins all around him. He was in... a garbage dump?

The ruins of this city are located in a huge cave.

There is not blue sky above my head, but mud.

It looks a bit like the abandoned mechanical city in the "Ground Core Nuclear Bomb" adventure map in the Zombie Basin, but it's not quite the same. This city is much smaller.

After stretching his body, he took out the goblin ticket from the space bag, held it tightly in his hand, and explored the surroundings. There was no kitchen waste in this garbage dump, only some steel waste.

Just as he was preparing to conduct further exploration.

But suddenly he heard footsteps nearby. His face changed slightly and he quickly turned over and hid in the garbage pile beside him. Through the gap, he saw a middle-aged man walking to the garbage dump with three or five strong men, cursing as he walked.

"What a lousy adventure map! There's not even a quest, and no rewards at all."

"They even allow one train in. The map automatically destroys after 24 hours. I thought there was something valuable there. We've searched the city ruins for so long and found nothing. The last place we haven't searched is this garbage dump, but what good can there be in this garbage dump?"

"The last three minutes."

"Just search around. This trip is for nothing. I'm going back now."

The middle-aged man muttered a few more words in annoyance before he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, put it in his mouth, sat on a rock beside him, and began to puff out smoke. But the next moment, the man seemed to suddenly notice something and looked at his feet.

"telescope?"

The man picked up the old-looking telescope in his hand and was about to say something when a flash of shock flashed in his eyes: "10th-order telescope?"

"Go crazy!"

"What idiot used eight fucking Murphy stones to enhance a telescope? Is his brain out of whack?!"

However, the man still felt a little distressed and kept wiping the dust off the telescope with his clothes. What he felt distressed about were the 8 Murphy stones. Isn't this a pure sin!

The man picked up the telescope and tried it out, then laughed again.

"It's not bad. It wasn't a wasted trip. At least I gained something."

"Search carefully, there are only two minutes left. Hurry up, there might be other goodies here."

"Oh shit!"

"If I had known earlier, I would have come to the garbage dump first. Why would I go to the city ruins?"

2 minutes passed quickly.

The middle-aged man, who didn't find anything, cursed and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm, but he didn't dare to delay too long. He immediately returned quickly with a few strong men. After hearing that there was no movement outside, Doba came out from his hiding place.

He shook off the garbage on his body.

Glancing around.

Without any hesitation, he stuffed everything he could see that was of appropriate size into the space bag on his body. He didn't know what the use of these was, but maybe Master Mang would find them useful after he took them back.

five minutes later.

He suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound next to his ear.

Looking up subconsciously.

I saw a crack appear above the city at some point. It was not a crack on the top of the cave, but a crack in space?

The crack extended rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly covering the entire city like a spider web.

Bang!
A piece of debris fell off, revealing an extremely dark black hole with faint starlight flickering in it.

"."

Doba's face changed slightly. He knew that this must be the collapsed map that the man mentioned. Without wasting time, he stuffed the last thing in his hand into the space bag and quickly crushed the goblin ticket in his hand.

However.
No response.

It’s over.

A trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He could not return to the Star. It might take him a very long time to find the Star again. But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and looked behind him.

Looking closely, there was a space that was slightly distorted as if it was burned by flames.

That was the time rift when we came here.

At this time, the cracks had rapidly spread throughout the entire cave and even spread to the garbage dump. The entire adventure map could collapse completely at any time. Without too much time to think, Doba roared and instantly burst out all the strength in his body, rushing towards the time rift.

next moment!
Doba disappeared on the spot, and at the same time, the cracks completely covered the entire cave. The entire city, including the garbage dump, seemed to have been detonated. The huge black hole swallowed up everything in an instant, leaving no trace of residue, including the time rift, which was slowly shrinking as it was swallowed.

Doba, who had returned to the time tunnel, looked at the time tunnel that seemed to be shrinking rapidly. With a faint hope in his eyes, he took out another goblin ticket and crushed it with trembling hands.

A white light flashed, and Doba felt that the scene in front of him changed instantly, and he had reappeared in the train cabin. In the empty train cabin, Mang Ye was standing there, and Biaozi and others were also standing aside and looking at him.

Doba was stunned for a moment, several emotions surged in his heart, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, suddenly bursting into tears with some grievance.

"Mr. Mang, I thought I would never come back. I almost forgot what you looked like."

"Mr. Mang."

Stellar, inside the train.

Chen Mang looked at Doba who was drinking water frantically and patted him on the back: "Drink slowly, don't be anxious, and tell us what happened after you finish drinking."

After drinking two bottles of mineral water in one breath and burping, Doba recalled that so many people had seen what he had just done. His mind was filled with regret and embarrassment. He whispered, "I don't know why, after so many months, I'm not hungry at all, just a little thirsty."

"Master Mang, have you been waiting for me here?"
