The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

As the train started moving, the Pearl River Estuary, which had just experienced catastrophe and rebirth, gradually shrank in the field of vision, eventually becoming an inconspicuous little dot.

After the train passed through a tunnel flashing with white light, the view outside the window returned to its unchanging, desolate state.

"it's over."

Su Yuan let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back heavily on the sofa.

The trip to Pearl River Bay was fraught with peril; he turned a 1.5-star challenge into a 3-star survival mission.

However, the harvest was also unprecedentedly abundant.

Not only did his physique surge again, but he also acquired several incredible talents in one go, increasing his combat power several times over.

"It's time to take stock of what we've gained this time."

Su Yuan sat up straight, his face filled with barely suppressed anticipation.

This feeling is just like when I was a child, during Chinese New Year, I would take out all the lucky money my elders gave me and spread it out on the bed to count it, filled with a real sense of harvest.

He first took stock of the most important hard currency, the train coin.

After some consumption and replenishment, he now has a total of 184 coins.

What really tantalized him was the treasure chest.

After defeating the six-legged merman, I obtained a silver treasure chest.

The chubby little money-keeper didn't disappoint him; he brought back three boxes, two wooden and one bronze.

Su Yuan rubbed his chin, pondering in his mind.

As long as nothing goes wrong along the way, I should be able to sew another silver treasure chest.

If we were to sew the two silver treasure chests together...

Maybe we can find a golden treasure chest?

The moment this thought crossed Su Yuan's mind, his heart started racing.

Next are the materials.

Iron: 452 units

Timber: 200 units

[Plastics: 77 units]

Copper: 77 units

[Electronic components: 22]

"Not bad." Su Yuan looked at the list and nodded.

Although I didn't get many materials directly from this dungeon, and I didn't encounter any useful monsters with the meteorite scroll, it's not a big problem.

If you need anything, you can buy it at the trading house anytime.

I'll upgrade the train later and use that mysterious seed while I'm at it.

After taking stock of the basic resources, Su Yuan turned his attention to the special items and equipment.

Too lazy to search through them one by one, he simply called out to the empty carriage, "Xiao Huo, tell me what you have."

[Good master. 】

The small fire's core flickered, and a clear, resonant sound echoed as it began to report on all its current possessions.

[Weapons/Tools]:

【Demon Slayer Warhammer (Epic)】

Remington M870 Shotgun (with 10 rounds of shotgun ammunition)

Obsidian Dagger (Fine)

[Items/Special Items]:

【The Scroll of a Fallen Star (Rare)】

[A pair of rare, phonograph conch shells]

【Mermaid Pearl (Rare) x1】

【Sea City Savior Medal (Special)】

【Emperor's Path: Devouring the Wasteland (Unknown)】

[Blood and Flesh Decoction (Crazy)]

【Deep Sea Demon Blood (Rare)】

[Special Talent Core "Deep Sea Favorite"]

Chen Jia's blood (containing plague properties, stored in the trading house)

[Silver Treasure Chest x1, Bronze Treasure Chest x1, Wooden Treasure Chest x2]

Upon hearing the word "shotgun," Su Yuan curled his lip.

He hasn't fired a single shot from this thing yet. When he first got it, he treasured it like a treasure and hid it as a strategic weapon.

As a result, he never found a suitable opportunity to use it along the way, and now the gun can no longer keep up with his fighting pace.

"I guess I'll have to sell it," Su Yuan muttered to himself. "This thing should be quite valuable to a newbie; it can be exchanged for a lot of good stuff."

As for the pair of phonograph conch shells, he had an idea.

Afterwards, give one to the treasure-guarding spirit and keep one for yourself. That way, if the little fat guy encounters a treasure chest guarded by a monster again, he can call for help anytime, so he doesn't miss out on the treasure.

With that in mind, Su Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately opened the trading interface, directly exchanging the merman oil for iron and wood.

Now he has some wealth, and the transactions were quick. Before long, he had gathered all the materials needed to upgrade the train to level three.

Su Yuan stood up, walked to the driver's cab, and brought up the train upgrade panel.

[Materials required for upgrading to Level 3 train have been collected. Proceed with the upgrade?]

"upgrade."

[Train upgrade begins, estimated time: five minutes.]

As he confirmed it, a slight vibration came from the entire carriage, and the sound of metal components rubbing together came from all directions.

Just then, a new notification popped up.

[Special item 'Emperor's Path: Devouring Wasteland' detected. This item can be used during train upgrades and will induce unknown special mutations in the train. Use it?]

[WARNING: Once deployed, the train will be permanently bound to this item. This process is irreversible. Please make your choice carefully.]

"It's finally here."

"Get involved!"

Su Yuan made his choice without hesitation.

The moment he finished speaking, the jet-black plant seed covered with strange patterns in his hand transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the control panel in front of him.

The next second, something unexpected happened!

The train, which had been only shaking slightly, suddenly shuddered, as if a sleeping giant had been awakened.

"Boom!"

It was no longer a simple metallic scraping sound, but a deeper and more complex roar.

The floor beneath Su Yuan's feet undulated violently, and the metal panels of the carriage walls emitted a teeth-grinding twisting sound, as if countless invisible giant hands were brutally tearing and reshaping this steel creation.

Su Yuan gripped the nearby object tightly to steady himself, his eyes fixed on the window.

The desolate scenery outside the train window was rushing past, while the train itself was undergoing a dramatic transformation.

On the black metal shell, dark green lines appeared out of thin air. They spread and intertwined rapidly, like living things, and eventually covered the entire car body.

These patterns are not graffiti, but rather truly grow from the metal, giving them an eerie, plant-like texture.

"Click...click..."

At the front of the train, the metal armor is disintegrating and reassembling on its own.

The originally rugged lines have become smoother and more aggressive, with several thick, vine-like metal structures extending from both sides of the front of the car, coiling around the windows, their tips gleaming with a cold light.

The entire train is transforming from a pure steel beast into a bizarre form that is half mechanical and half plant-like.

The next second, Xiao Huo also lost signal. Su Yuan could sense that due to the train's mutation, it had also fallen into a deep sleep and was undergoing transformation by this power.

"Come on, let's see what these two trains will end up like."
