Train Survival: One colored hexagon per level!

Chapter 2, Station 1

In fact, with a massive base of 100,000 train conductors, quite a few people found firearms in the beginner's treasure chest.

And situations like Lu Xingyuan's, where he has a gun but no bullets, are not uncommon.

"I fired the gun, but I'm out of bullets! What the hell am I supposed to do?!"

"Damn it, there's only one bullet in the magazine. Are you implying I should save it for myself? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

Online users -1.

Holy crap, that's ruthless.

"I'm so angry I could laugh. I found 20 rounds of general-purpose ammo in the treasure chest, but what good are they to me without a gun?"

"Hey upstairs, give me the bullets. They're useless to you anyway."

"Why can't you be the one giving me the gun? What's the difference between a gun without bullets and scrap metal?"

The two then engaged in a debate in which neither could convince the other, leaving Lu Xingyuan shaking his head in disbelief.

However, this has little to do with him. With the Hextech power of unlimited firepower, he doesn't need to worry about bullets at all. He can just pull the trigger and unleash a barrage of bullets.

Not daring to fire the gun inside the carriage to test its effectiveness, Lu Xingyuan reluctantly put down the submachine gun and immediately began checking the conditions for upgrading the train.

The materials required to upgrade from level 1 to level 2 are as follows:

500 units of timber

Metal × 500 units

100 units of glass

The upgrade only requires the three materials mentioned above, and the amount of each material needed is not too large.

Hmm, it doesn't seem too difficult.

The treasure chest is open, the talent has been drawn, now we just wait for the train to arrive at the station.

Lu Xingyuan glanced at the time; it was 9:20 AM.

In other words, they will all arrive at the first platform in forty minutes!

Whether there was danger at the platform was hard to say, but Lu Xingyuan always made the worst-case scenario plan. He seized the time to repeatedly practice and familiarize himself with the weapons, while also doing several sets of exercises to warm up his body and ensure that he was in the best combat readiness.

In the chat channel, many people were also discussing the first station they were about to arrive at.

"Damn, why am I inexplicably nervous?"

"We're still in the newbie protection period, so we shouldn't encounter any danger, right?"

"Hey upstairs, don't get your hopes up too high about the protection period. It only protects the metal sheet of the train, not us. The moment you step out the door, your life or death is entirely up to you."

"So, if I stay on the train and don't get off, I'll be fine, right?"

"That's true, but how are you going to gather supplies if you don't get out of the vehicle? How will you survive without water and food?"

"That's true."

Finally, at 9:30, the game gave a hint:

[Train Operation Notice]

[Next stop: Single-person platform - Chengnan Gas Station.]

This station is a white platform.

Please prepare.

Each train conductor arrives at a different platform.

Especially a single-person platform means that you are the only train conductor arriving at this station.

The platforms are also divided into different levels: white, green, blue, purple, and gold.

The higher the level, the more abundant the resources within the platform.

Gas station?

There should be supplies.

Lu Xingyuan pondered for a moment, then unscrewed the bottled water given to him by the kind train conductor, took a small sip to replenish his fluids, and then gripped the submachine gun tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any moment.

ten o'clock.

The train arrived at the platform on time.

Lu Xingyuan glanced out the window. It was a standard small gas station with only four gas pumps standing there all alone.

Behind the gas pump is a square service station with a full glass curtain wall.

Through the glass, you can vaguely see the outline of the internal checkout counter and the shadows of the shelves, where the goods are most likely to gather.

Lu Xingyuan secretly regretted that the train couldn't use gasoline, otherwise he would have had the chance to taste what 98-octane gasoline tasted like. Poor Lu Xingyuan had only ever filled up with 92-octane gasoline for 6 yuan, and 95-octane gasoline for 8 yuan was beyond his reach, although he had heard from others that it was as mellow as Maotai.

Lu Xingyuan, who was secretly observing from the car window, did not act rashly.

Anyway, the stop time is one hour, and the gas station is only this small, so it's enough.

However, other train conductors clearly did not share his caution.

"Brothers, be careful! Don't get off the train carelessly. The platforms are really dangerous. The first platform I arrived at was a 'newbie station,' which looked ordinary, but who would have thought there was a zombie hiding there! It just bit me, but luckily I ran fast enough to get back to the train in time. The zombie was kept outside and couldn't harm the train. But now my wound feels itchy and burning. Am I going to die?"

A short while later, the other person's profile picture went black.

The number of online users in the chat channel decreased by one again.

"Holy crap! Is it that dangerous? There are even zombies!"

"This guy's already done for?"

"I told you before, don't get out of the car to explore. We're trying to survive, not on vacation!"

"What happened? How come the number of online players dropped by more than a hundred in the blink of an eye? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? Is the attrition rate really that high?!"

"I'm not getting out of the car, even if you kill me! I don't want to get bitten by zombies!"

Lu Xingyuan turned his gaze away from the chat channel, his heart not feeling much.

All he has left for survival is that half-bottle of mineral water. If he doesn't explore the platform and gather more supplies, he'll only face certain death.

After waiting patiently for a long time without any movement from the gas station, Lu Xingyuan took a deep breath, slowly opened the car door, and got out.

He remained patient and waited. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would immediately retreat back into the train. After all, with the newbie protection period, he was invincible inside the train.

Very well, still nothing.

Lu Xingyuan placed his finger on the trigger, ready to fire at any moment, and then slowly walked towards the service station.

He was disappointed by the contents; the shelves were filled with car-related items: windshield wipers, fuel additives, windshield washer fluid… not the food he had imagined. Fortunately, there were also plenty of tissues and laundry detergent, which he could use.

Wait, what's this?

Suddenly, a bright light caught his attention. On the service counter at the far end, there was a box that shimmered with silver light.

Treasure chest!

Lu Xingyuan instantly became excited.

If there's a treasure chest, things will be much easier.

Perhaps we can extract the most basic food resources from them.

Lu Xingyuan proceeded cautiously.

However, just as he was about to get close, suddenly, a figure darted out from behind the service counter!

"Fuck your mother!"

Lu Xingyuan was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack, and subconsciously pulled the trigger.

"Da da ...

A torrent of fiery serpents erupted, and bullets rained down on the figure before them as if they were free.
