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

Chapter 22 Alarm
That was a new friend request; the applicant's ID was "Mahou Shaojiu".

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and approved the application.

Jiang Ran didn't feel any ill will towards the magical girl. She had a vague feeling that he might be a girl.

Not only because she proactively shared information about fire ants in her previous life, allowing Jiang Ran to escape from their jaws, but also because she was one of the few who could still retain a sliver of kindness even in a post-apocalyptic world where order had collapsed.

She was the one who proactively posted the reminder about the need to replenish electrolytes after dehydration.

In her previous life, the magical girl also shared the same popular science, and was naturally criticized by those with flexible moral standards, but that did not stop her from continuing to share information about fire ants.

Of course, even such a good person couldn't survive the first instance.

At that time, Jiang Ran was preoccupied with her own problems, but because of the method for dealing with lone fire ants shared by the monkey spirit, she unconsciously started paying more attention to her.

Unfortunately, when Jiang Ran returned to the train and tried to add this person as a friend, she found that her profile picture had gone black, perhaps due to a lack of supplies.

Jiang Ran wouldn't actively seek out such people, but if they came to her on their own, she wouldn't mind sharing some of her meager kindness with them.

Once the friend request was accepted, information about the magical girl dance club was sent over.

Magical Girl: "Miss, thank you for the information about the fire ants. I'd like to ask if you have any extra food? I can trade you my weapon for it."

Because digging for chests is now full of uncertainty, players who are short on resources have a lot of respect for the account "Black Silk Miss".

After all, she's the only player still willing to sell supplies these days.

Jiang Ran herself would occasionally see comments calling out to the young lady and offering to be her dog, which left her speechless.

She replied calmly, "It's a simple transaction. What weapons do you have?"

The magical girl group immediately sent a transaction request.

Within the aperture was a shotgun, an architectural blueprint, and some miscellaneous materials such as iron blocks.

The architectural drawings depict a very simple bungalow, but among the materials is something whose shape and color are very familiar.

Mahou Shoujo: "I'd like to exchange some water and food, the higher the calories the better. I know you're a beta tester, do you have any fruit? If you do, I have other items too."

Jiang Ran looked at the [magical ore] and her understanding of the magical girl's ability to act was refreshed.

She could brave the scorching heat to retrieve boxes from lava pools and also had the keen insight to discover ways to deal with fire ants. With these weapons and tools, even if she didn't come looking for me, she wouldn't have been left without any food.

How could someone like that not even clear the first dungeon?

The young lady in black stockings: "We do have apples, but what can you offer in exchange?"

Magical Girl: "I still have 10 crafting table fragments. I was saving them up to exchange for a crafting table. I can give them all to you if you need them. But could you give me two fruits?"

Jiang Ran didn't expect that there would be 10 crafting table fragments for the magical girl, which means she now has almost a third of the crafting tables in her possession.

She thought for a moment and put three apples, ten bottles of water, ten sandwiches, ten sausages, five chocolate bars, and finally ten bottles of yogurt and a large bag of dry cereal into the transaction circle.

The abundance of ingredients clearly exceeded Mahou Shoujo's expectations. She was so surprised that she didn't confirm the transaction immediately, but instead sent Jiang Ran several big exclamation marks.

Magical Girl: "Thank you so much! I thought... I know how valuable this food is now. Don't worry, if I survive this dungeon, I'll find a way to repay you!"
"In short, Miss, you're a good person!"

Jiang Ran looked at the last sentence and smiled self-deprecatingly.

A good person?
Good people don't survive long on this train. The transaction was complete, and Jiang Ran closed the game panel.

After eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, he put down the bowl with some irritation.

With a sigh, she resignedly opened the magical girl chat window.

The young lady in black stockings: "Are you hiding alone, or are there other people around?"

Mahou Shōjū replied quickly: "I'm with my boyfriend, what's wrong, Miss?"

Jiang Ran pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then typed in a self-deprecating manner: "You know that resources are precious now, so even with your closest relatives... it's best to be careful."

Mahou Shaou replied two minutes later: "Okay, thanks for reminding me."

Jiang Ran looked at her reply and scratched her hair in frustration.

Upon seeing her inexplicable reminder, the magical girl would probably just think she's crazy.

Never mind, I'll respect other people's fate.

To magical girls, she was just a stranger. Why would someone not trust their boyfriend but instead trust a "black-stockinged young lady" with a less-than-stellar reputation?
Didn't I decide from the beginning to mind my own business? Why bother with other people's business?

Jiang Ran closed the chat window in a fit of embarrassment and anger, quickly finished her breakfast, and went to the training room.

She didn't plan to go out and dig for chests in the days that followed.

Firstly, the risks and rewards were disproportionate; secondly, her gains in this instance far exceeded her expectations.

Use the remaining time to strengthen your own abilities.

After a morning of practice, Jiang Ran was finally able to skillfully dodge all the balls despite being "besieged" by four high-speed ball-serving machines.

She took a breath, feeling the soreness all over her body, and her mood improved a lot.

The little food she ate in the morning had long been digested by such strenuous exercise. As Jiang Ran was sprawled on the sofa choosing her lunch, she suddenly heard an alarm from the monitor.

For safety reasons, Jiang Ran's safe house has no windows. The entire house is a sturdy fortress made of ultra-thick explosion-proof steel plates, special anti-drill alloy plates, stainless steel plates, and fire-resistant composite materials.

Therefore, as long as she doesn't open the door, even if someone outside uses explosives, she can withstand the attack for at least four hours.

Strangely, when she looked outside through the 360-degree surround surveillance, she did not find any humanoid creatures.

What is that warning about?

Jiang Ran frowned and slowly followed the surveillance footage inch by inch.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened, and she zoomed in on the surveillance footage tenfold, staring incredulously at the tiny ants in the image.

It was only the length of a little finger, with a slender, pale golden body and a pair of long, transparent wings on its back, making it look quite exquisite.

What surprised Jiang Ran was not the ant's appearance, but that it was actually gnawing away at her safe house!
Because there was only one bottle of deworming medicine, the last corner that wasn't successfully enclosed was the area where the ants had been gnawing.

The sight of it gnawing on the safe house gave Jiang Ran goosebumps all over!
