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

Chapter 30 Item: Lucky Dice

The terrifying whale, who had been holding something in his pocket, suddenly pulled it out and flung it towards Jiang Ran!
But the confident smile on his lips froze completely when he saw Jiang Ran not flinching at all, and even giving him a mocking smile.

Then, he watched helplessly as the prop he had thrown flew straight back to him!
[Item. Lucky Dice (Rank B): Each roll will randomly produce an effect based on the number rolled (cooldown: 6 hours).]

[You rolled a 2. Current effect: Frozen. The hit target will be immobilized for two minutes, during which time they cannot perform any actions.]

Seeing the system notification flash before her eyes, Jiang Ran breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the rebound card has a success rate of up to 80%, it also has the possibility of failure.

Fortunately, with the help of the little spinning top, she won the bet.

Even if he loses the bet, it's okay—Jiang Ran has crossbow traps at the door and windows. If the deflection card doesn't work, as long as this terrifying whale dares to come in, it can expect to be turned into a sieve whale!

Jiang Ran put her mask and hat back on, and approached the terrifying whale with a smile. Under the whale's fearful and resentful gaze, she bent down and picked up the exquisite silver die from the ground.

Unable to perform any actions, the terrifying whale couldn't even retrieve the items and could only watch Jiang Ran's movements.

Jiang Ran looked at the dice in her hand and couldn't help but sigh. An item that could produce active effects, could be reused, and most importantly, whose effects depended heavily on the player's luck—wasn't this tailor-made for her?

Yes, she was blessed with good luck by the little spinning top.

Jiang Ran wasn't sure what the effects would be if the dice landed on other points. She only knew that when the dice landed on a 6, the effect was to pay off 100 health points, and within a one-meter radius of her, nothing could break through her defenses for six minutes.

The reason I knew about the terrifying whale was because Jiang Ran had suffered at its hands in her previous life.

*
She had barely made it to the tenth day by relying on the hidden cellar and the occasional treasure chest she found. Just when she thought she could clear the game in a few more days, she heard intense gunfire coming from the direction of the village that evening.

Because Jiang Ran only appeared at night, she had secretly learned about the general situation of the village.

She knew that only Sister Yu and the four people, including the terrifying whale, remained in the entire village, but these commotions were not something that four people could have caused.

Jiang Ran, who guessed that there must be an intruder, naturally wouldn't go out to join in the fun.

The temperature had dropped to minus fifty degrees Celsius, and there were fewer and fewer boxes to dig up nearby, so we had to go further afield to explore.

However, the increasingly frequent blizzards made it extremely difficult to go out and dig for chests, and the competition for resources naturally intensified.

Originally, none of this had anything to do with Jiang Ran. The cellar where she was hiding was very well hidden, and because of the characteristics of the cellar itself, the temperature was even higher than that of the outside world.

Although I was still cold and hungry, I wouldn't die.

However, later on, when the players who found the car discovered that it had a navigation system and that the distance between villages was much shorter than they had imagined, the nature of the game changed.

Players with vehicles first used weapons and supplies to gather a group of people, and then, when the snow stopped, they looted one village after another.

The players who were forcibly brought together could only play different roles in the team based on their respective "contributions".

Those who have nothing to offer can only use their bodies to shovel snow and make way for vehicles. To those who consider themselves "superiors," the snow-shoveling workers are just "useless expendable resources"—if they freeze to death, they can simply be replaced.

Once they reach the next village, new supplies will naturally be replenished.

It's both realistic and cruel, but the snow shovelers have no choice—to disagree means death, but if they can survive, there might be a glimmer of hope.

After all, once they arrive at the new village, as long as they can make a certain "contribution" to the team, they can get rid of their status as snow sweepers and even receive some supplies.

Ironically, those who are most hostile to snow sweepers are often the former snow sweepers themselves.

And the name "Terrifying Whale" was indeed well-chosen; it was thanks to it that Jiang Ran almost died in the dungeon.

Since it was already evening when they arrived at the village, the invaders did not leave but instead set up camp.

Hearing the noise outside that continued until midnight, Jiang Ran dared not go out to dig out the box. She could only wrap herself in everything she could wear that she had taken out of the box and huddle in the darkness, nibbling on the icy cabbage stalks.

He thought that everything would be fine once these people left, but unexpectedly, that night, perhaps driven to desperation, the terrifying whale stumbled upon the cellar where Jiang Ran was hiding.

Jiang Ran didn't dare to make a sound, but the terrifying whale still discovered the traces around the cellar entrance.

He threatened Jiang Ran to hide him, or he would take her with him to die.

But it happened that night that it didn't snow, and the trail left by the terrifying whale was as clear as a lighthouse in the dark. Even if Jiang Ran hid in the cellar with him, they would only be waiting to die.

Jiang Ran, who was inexplicably struck by a calamity, wished she could bite the terrifying whale to death.

But the terrifying whale was full of confidence when facing Jiang Ran. He even asked Jiang Ran to be the bait, saying that he had a tool to deal with those who were chasing him.

Jiang Ran was almost laughing in anger at the horrifying whale's shamelessness, but having been starved and cold for so long, she was physically weak and had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, the three men who came to chase the terrifying whale were also cold and hungry, and they needed to catch the whale to fulfill their "contribution".

Using the traces around the cellar as a base, and taking advantage of the fact that they didn't know there were actually two people on Jiang Ran's side, they successfully killed the three.

It was while dealing with the armed third party that the terrifying whale used the die, pushing Jiang Ran aside to block the knife.

Jiang Ran still remembers the look of utter dismay on his face when he threw out the dice and saw the "6" on them.

"Damn it! They throw out a 6 when they don't need it... It only lasts for 6 minutes and has an absolute defense range of only one meter that costs me 100 health points. Why don't they just steal it?!"

Although reluctant, seeing Jiang Ran, who was meant to be his human shield, fall to the ground, he still used her despite the heartache.

After taking care of the last person, the terrifying whale kicked Jiang Ran, who was no longer moving, cursed under its breath, and began to tear off her clothes that were haphazardly folded together.

After quickly stripping away everything he could, he confirmed once again that Jiang Ran had indeed stopped breathing and her heart had stopped beating before leaving.
