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

Chapter 28, Second Stop: Snow Country
Three days later, at 7:59 a.m., the train's announcement came on as scheduled.

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

Players must survive at the site for fifteen days, during which time they can obtain resource chests by searching houses and digging in the frozen ground. After this instance ends, a global survival leaderboard will be activated; the higher the ranking, the richer the rewards.

Players can exchange for necessary supplies and items in the train's shop. The train will return in fourteen days. Please check the map for the specific boarding location. We wish you a safe return.

Having learned from the previous experience, everyone knows that although the items in the train shop are expensive, they are indeed useful.

Especially since the name of this instance clearly indicates the type of natural disaster, everyone immediately started buying warm clothing.

The prices of winter clothing in the store vary depending on the thickness and warmth, and are generally between 50 and 200 health points.

Jiang Ran had already bought everything she needed. She put on the ultra-thin thermal underwear and socks from the store, which cost her 2000 life points. But the moment she put them on, she felt it was totally worth it.

A warm, pleasant sensation emanated from the areas that came into contact with my skin, yet there was no dampness or sweating.

Actually, there's also a windproof outfit in the store, which includes a coat and boots, priced at 1 health points.

Although Jiang Ran currently has over 20,000 life points, not only is the cost-effectiveness low, but her head-to-toe green outfit is also too avant-garde. You can tell from afar that she's easy prey...

In the Snow Country instance, the distance between players is much shorter, making it easier for them to meet, and naturally, easier to form alliances or become adversaries.

Jiang Ran, dressed as a black-stockinged young lady, was arrogant in the chat lobby, but in the dungeon, her main focus was on development. She didn't want to get surrounded and attacked by everyone because her clothes were too flashy.

Although she still had more than 23,000 life points left, Jiang Ran felt very insecure because of her previous experiences. Perhaps only by breaking through 100,000 life points could she relax a little.

Hopefully, her HP will exceed 50,000 when she leaves the dungeon this time.

The countdown ended, and the players were randomly dropped into a vast snowfield.

The endless expanse of white reflected the light, making one's eyes ache after looking at it for a while. Occasionally, passing by snow-covered slopes and groves, the bare branches were also covered with a thick layer of snow.

Dark, gloomy clouds hung low overhead, seemingly poised to unleash a blizzard at any moment. A biting wind relentlessly whipped at my face, feeling as if it were tearing a piece of flesh from my skin.

I don't even need to open it to know that the chat lobby must be filled with cries of despair.

Jiang Ran wasn't in a hurry to put up cold-weather items for sale. After all, the dungeon had only just started, and the more people got to freeze and dig up more chests, the more valuable they would be for trading.

She first switched her account to Little Spinning Top, then put on goggles, wading through the thick snow that was almost above her knees, and slowly walked towards the small village in the distance.

It's called a village, but it's really just a large piece of land enclosed by a simple wooden fence.

Scattered throughout the house were about thirty thatched huts and mud-brick houses of various sizes, all clearly dilapidated and abandoned.

In the previous life, eight other players gathered in the small village closest to Jiang Ran's landing point.

Three were lucky enough to spawn directly within the village. By the time the others arrived, they had already reached some kind of agreement and jointly occupied the most sturdy and largest mud-brick house in the center of the village.

The others, not wanting to cause trouble, found a house to stay in, away from the others.

Jiang Ran was outnumbered and worried that they might also have a grudge against her, so she could only avoid the village. Luckily, she found a hidden cellar and hid there, surviving on cabbage stalks and snow water.

Only when the night was deep and quiet would she dare to sneak out of the cellar, wrap herself in layers of burlap sacks, go to the snow slopes a little further away to dig out boxes, and then rush back before the snow fell.

She could often hear noises coming from the small village; the most intense time was with a barrage of gunfire. In such harsh conditions, struggles over resources were almost inevitable.

Especially after the village's few remaining supplies were plundered, everyone had no choice but to turn their attention to their fellow villagers.

Some larger villages not only have a denser concentration of players and more intense battles, but also have advantages that smaller villages don't have, such as garages.

When players find a truck full of fuel in a village where no resources can be found, everyone has a new direction.

Jiang Ran had a vague feeling that the dungeon was designed to encourage players to plunder and kill each other.

It's like raising a venomous insect.

But even if it were true, she couldn't change anything.

Since we can't set rules for the time being, let's lie low under the existing rules and accumulate strength.

Logically speaking, walking on thick snow should be much more strenuous than walking on flat ground, but Jiang Ran has high stats and wears warm clothes to keep warm, so her body is not affected by the cold, and her speed is naturally much faster than others.

But as she walked, her toe suddenly kicked something hard.

With a few shovelfuls, I dug out the box at my feet, and it turned out to be a gold box!

Jiang Ran was surprised, and the first thing she thought of was the unboxing of the little spinning top.

Could it be... that this account really inherited his lucky streak?
After all, in her previous life, she dug in the frozen soil for ten days and only found a golden box that saved her life.

This time, things got really messed up; he kicked it while walking!
Jiang Ran suppressed the urge to immediately dig up the chest to verify her guess, put the treasure chest away, and continued on her way to the village.

If we delay any longer, it will snow heavily, making the roads even more difficult to travel.

She'll have plenty of time to dig out the boxes later, but she needs to lay in ambush beforehand to make it easier to rob them.

When Jiang Ran arrived at the village entrance, the surroundings were clean and tidy, with no trace of anyone else having set foot there.

But if you walk a few more steps, you'll see a patch of messy footprints suddenly appearing on the snow, eventually turning into three rows leading to the largest house in the village.

Because she arrived much earlier than in her previous life, when Jiang Ran tiptoed to the base of the house, she heard the three people inside—two women and one man—arguing quietly and intensely.

She quietly and unassumingly placed a pinhole camera by the window, then quickly left the spot.

In the surveillance footage, a young woman with short brown hair spoke in a shrill voice: "Sister Yu, Brother Lei, I'm not saying this to be rude, but do you really believe that Yan Zikai would share the supplies with us?"

The man called Brother Lei said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do even if you don't believe it. These days, who doesn't have something to rely on if they're able to jump out and gather power? If we don't join them, we won't have any supplies or weapons, and we might not even be able to survive if we want to!"

As he spoke, Brother Lei looked at the long-haired woman in the middle and said, "Sister Yu, what do you say? We'll listen to you."

Sister Yu shook her head: "Yan Zikai wants to win us over, simply because of me...who am I?!"

Ranran: I just want to grow up.

Later, Ranran thought: Killing these troublemakers will naturally allow me to develop better.
