Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 2, First Stop: Flaming Mountain

23:59 on the seventh day.

Jiang Ran confirmed one last time that the game had been saved, and then changed into a pure black windbreaker and put on her backpack.

0: 00.

A mechanical voice rang in everyone's ears:

[The apocalypse is imminent. Only the Infinite Train can carry you through the darkness to a new future. The train has arrived at the station. In 30 seconds, everyone will be teleported to the platform. Please gather any necessary supplies as soon as possible.]

(Friendly reminder: In this apocalyptic world, disasters are rampant. We hope the supplies you bring will help you survive.)
Upon hearing that familiar voice again, Jiang Ran's body trembled slightly, not from nervousness, but simply from excitement!
As the countdown ended, everything before her eyes shattered like glass, revealing the station behind her and the old green train.

She returned to where the nightmare had begun.

As the train appeared, Jiang Ran saw in her mind a vast and boundless space filled with supplies, and felt a burning sensation coming from her body—it was the physique modification card, and she could feel her power constantly increasing.

Her mood suddenly calmed down.

The platform was instantly packed with people, most of them wearing pajamas and looking panicked.

The bizarre method of relocation and the content of the broadcast made people unwilling to believe it, yet subconsciously fearful.

In the noisy environment, the train's announcements clearly appeared in everyone's minds.

[The train will stop for five minutes. Please purchase your tickets and board in an orderly manner. Class A: 1000 Health Points; Class B: 500 Health Points; Class C: 100 Health Points; Class D: 50 Health Points. Tickets are not required for the last class.]

[First stop bonus: You can exchange your supplies for a certain amount of health points. Health points are the only currency on the train; once health points reach zero, you die. Please manage your health points wisely.]

"I only have 100 health points, I'll risk my life to save them!"

"I...I only have 20 health points, but my paralyzed leg can actually stand up!"

"Why am I rated 90? Is it based on my health level?"

"Screw you! Only an idiot wouldn't use a free option!"

……

Jiang Ran, however, ignored the crowd and headed straight for her Class A seat with a clear goal.

There was an entire carriage of Class A seats!

The spacious carriages have dedicated bedrooms, dining rooms, toilets, shower rooms... and even small shelves and a gym.

Of course, anything involving supplies requires spending health points to purchase or use.

Thinking back to her previous life, when Xu Yunxuan and the other two were in a carriage like this, watching her struggle in the lowest class carriage where there were no seats, no humanity, and no dignity, and taking pleasure in it, Jiang Ran sneered and spent 500 life points to target Xu Yunxuan.

This is the privilege of passengers in Class A seats; they can not only locate a single point but also view personal information.

Don't ask, the answer is that I've been located.

To Jiang Ran's surprise, Xu Yunxuan was in the D-class carriage, with only 45 health points remaining.

The thin-skinned iron seats were neatly crammed into the carriage, and the 90-degree backrests made my back hurt after a while.

Logically speaking, given that he regularly works out and is in his prime, his life force should be around 180, more than enough to get into a Class C train car...

Jiang Ran suddenly remembered what she had done to him before she left, and couldn't help but laugh.

It seems he expended a lot of his life points to cure the enoki mushroom.

Xu Tian and Song Churou, standing nearby, said to Xu Yunxuan with anxious expressions, "Yunxuan, isn't this ticket too expensive? Your mother and I only have a little over ten health points left after buying the tickets..."

Xu Yunxuan, his face grim, searched through the IDs that had spoken in the chat room one by one: "What are you afraid of? That bitch ran away and sold off her assets. She must have known something beforehand. She probably has a lot of supplies on hand."

"As long as we find her, what's there to worry about? If we can't find her, we'll announce her information in the chat lobby, saying that she has a lot of supplies. If we're not doing well, she won't be doing well either!" Jiang Ran wasn't surprised by this.

She chuckled and added Xu Yunxuan: "One family member can come in the Class A carriage. If you'd like to come, add me. This offer is valid before departure."

Xu Yunxuan approved it in a second, without even consulting with Xu Tian and the other person.

"Do you voluntarily enter the territory of carriage A-1? Yes/No"

Just as Xu Yunxuan was about to ask Jiang Ran what the word "territory" meant, the train sounded its first whistle.

The train is about to depart.

He had no time to hesitate and could only click "Yes".

The next second, he was teleported directly in front of Jiang Ran.

However, along with the message "You have been included in the territory of the owner of carriage A-1," four gunshots rang out.

Xu Yunxuan screamed and fell onto the carpet in the carriage, blood seeping from the holes in his limbs.

He looked at Jiang Ran in horror, shaking his head frantically: "No, you can't..."

Jiang Ran squatted down with a smile, the gun pressed against his forehead: "Of course I can. I'll help you get out of this mess. I'm so kind of you. Hurry up and thank me!"

*
Just after Xu Yunxuan was dealt with, the train's announcement system came on again.

[The train will arrive at the station in 1 minute. Next stop: Flaming Mountain.]

Players must survive at the site for seven days, during which time they can obtain resource chests by salvaging lava or mining. These chests contain not only supplies and items but also extra health, but also danger.

Players can exchange resources and items in the train shop; it is recommended to purchase items strategically. The train will return in seven days; please check the map for the specific boarding location.

[After you disembark, the items stored on your seat will be locked and will remain there as you choose your next seat. Hope you return alive!]

The chat lobby instantly received 999+ messages.

"Flaming Mountain? I'm still Red Boy... Shouldn't I buy more cooling things?"

"Never mind that for now, is there a toilet? I can't hold it in anymore."

"Luckily, our Class B carriage has a private compartment and a public restroom."

"My son is missing! His name is Xu Yunxuan. Has anyone seen him?"

"The prices on the train are outrageous! I can't afford anything. Can someone give me a landing net?"

……

One minute later, everyone was scattered and thrown into a strange mountain range that seemed to stretch endlessly.

Everywhere you look is bare, with only a few dead trees occasionally visible.

The sun was so bright it could blind you, and in the distance, mountains rose and fell, some of which occasionally spewed out scorching lava.

The entire nasal cavity was filled with a pungent and hot smell, and after looking at it for a while, even the scenery in front of me became somewhat distorted.

Jiang Ran landed in a relatively flat area, but the ground was still uneven, not only covered with dry cracks, but also with lava visible below some deep gullies.

The game panel showed the time as 8:00 AM, but the temperature had already exceeded 40 degrees Celsius.

Jiang Ran knew that this was just the beginning.

The real end will come when the temperature keeps rising.
