Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

Chapter 9 The Extreme Cold Train: Countdown to Annihilation

We did it! We're back!

The broken windows and rusty carriages returned to their original state. She was exhausted; her bangs were soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead. Song Yuan leaned against the wall, panting and trying to catch her breath. Due to her slight mysophobia, she didn't sit on the dirty bed.

The sky outside was already beginning to lighten, and sunrise was not far off, leaving her with not much time to rest. Song Yuan opened the system shop:

[Ding~ Player Song Yuan has purchased the item "Remaining Fuel", which comes with a disposable lighter (as before, the fuel inside has been used, so please use it sparingly, otherwise it won't last long)]

[Ding~ Player Song Yuan has purchased the item "Bloodstained Bandage" (Same as above, although it's stained with blood, the clean parts are still usable, so don't be too disgusted)]

[Ding~ Player Song Yuan has purchased the item "Small Quantity of Alcohol". This is not a defective product!]

Haha, she even emphasized it. Shouldn't she thank it?

She lit the fuel and sat down to bandage her wound. The wound on her palm was deep, but fortunately, it hadn't damaged any nerves.

She picked up the alcohol and poured it down, feeling a sharp pain in her palm; her expression didn't change much. She picked up the blood-stained bandage and wrapped it around her palm with a clean spot.

After the chase, her health points had dropped significantly. The battle had been so intense that the system kept buzzing in her head, and only now did she have a chance to bring up the control panel.

[Ding~ Player "Song Yuan" has been attacked by severe cold, her stamina has dropped significantly, and she has suffered cuts from sharp weapons, resulting in blood loss. Health: -22, Current Health: 3]

That was indeed a very challenging situation. The player's health in this game is closely related to their condition, which explains why she felt so weak towards the end.

The food was a mixed bag, mostly snacks like nuts, braised meat, and biscuits, each served in very small portions. The water was in a small, unopened bottle.

This amount of food is not enough to survive for seven days; it will be completely consumed in less than two days at most.

It was such a tiny bit, there was no point in saving it. Song Yuan chewed and swallowed it all along with the mineral water. After replenishing her energy, the system notification sounded at the opportune moment:

[Ding~ Player "Song Yuan" has regained body temperature and health...]

The health bar turned from red to yellow, as if it were charging. During this waiting time, Song Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully considering the hidden conditions for clearing the level mentioned by the system:

Kill all monsters in this instance.

This was her first choice. After all, she didn't want to stay in this wretched place for seven whole days. Killing all the monsters was easy, but the question was, where to find them?

With a luck score of 0.01, can she really traverse this massive maze and find all the mutants inside? The difficulty is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.

Let alone seven days, we wouldn't be able to kill them all even in seventy days.

The night outside gradually faded. The system also issued a notification sound:

[Ding~ Health restored, +50, current health: 53]

Heavy footsteps sounded outside the carriage. Song Yuan quickly took off her blood-stained down jacket and kicked it under the bed. Just as she was about to finish, the middle-aged man who had brought her there roughly pushed open the carriage door.

After a night apart, he regained his confidence and became arrogant again. The burly man, standing at 1.6 meters tall, grinned, revealing his large teeth, a lecherous smile on his face. Seeing Song Yuan still standing inside, his smile vanished in an instant, replaced by an expression of disappointment and anger.

"Why are you still in here?"

Song Yuan tidied her sweaty hair and retorted, "Didn't you say I should stay inside? Shouldn't I be here?"

Her words left the man speechless. Shouldn't the original plot have been that he refused to give her food and clothing, forcing her to find food elsewhere, getting lost in another carriage, and then he would righteously judge her for breaking the rules and enjoy a delicious meal?

The man grew angrier the more he thought about it, and could only slam the steaming bowl he was holding onto the table in anger.

"Did I tell you to talk back?! You bastard, eat up! Otherwise, where will you get the strength to serve me?"

He slammed the bowl down so hard that at least half of the soup splashed out. The soup had no seasoning; it must have been made with snow. A section of human forearm bone was exposed, and small clots of blood were still settling at the bottom of the broth.

Song Yuan guessed in a second what the soup was made of, but having just eaten, she had no appetite for it and instead frowned and covered her nose.

"No, thank you. I'm not hungry."

The man was so angry he jumped up and down, spat on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over:

"Do you know how many people are kneeling on the ground, begging for food, and still can't get a bite to eat? You bitch, you followed me in here all eagerly, and now you think you're so high and mighty? Stop pretending! If you don't want to drink, drink it now!"

"You shameless slut, what right do you have to put on airs in front of me?"

He got more and more carried away, and his words became increasingly offensive. But no matter what he said, the petite woman just stared at him coldly.

How to describe her gaze? There wasn't a trace of fear or humiliation in it, as if she didn't even consider him a human being.

His expression grew increasingly ferocious, and his curses sounded less forceful: How could this be? Now, these few strong men were completely in charge on this train. No matter how lowly they might be in normal society, here they were the masters. Everyone should kneel and kowtow to them, begging for their mercy. How could she still maintain such an arrogant attitude?!

He could no longer contain himself and reached out his large, thick hand to grab one side of Song Yuan's hair:

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?!"

Just as I was about to pull it down, I suddenly felt a chill on my wrist, and something soft fell to the ground with a "plop".

He stared at the cleanly severed head of his wrist, the bright red flesh and white bone clearly visible. Before he could even scream, he was kicked hard in the abdomen and fell heavily to the ground.

"Aaaaaah!"

Song Yuan placed one foot on his chest, knelt on one knee, and raised the blade high:

"Wait! Wait! No, no!"

The fear of death momentarily overshadowed the humiliation of being looked down upon by a mere woman. The man, utterly pathetic, shook his head, holding up his severed hand, and incoherently begged for her mercy:

"I was wrong! I was wrong, you can't kill people! It's illegal, you can't do this to me!"

Song Yuan looked into his eyes, which were filled with extreme fear, and tilted her head:

Are you talking to me about the law?

The man, tears streaming down his face, roared, "Nonsense!"

But he quickly realized that his life was hanging by a thread, so he had no choice but to soften his tone and beg her for mercy:

"Someone will come to rescue us soon! You've committed murder, which is against the law. Let me go, let me go and I might consider... no, I'll just let you go back, I'll let you go!"

"Do I need your permission to go anywhere?"

She held up the shard of glass, the sharp tip flashing in the center of the man's pupils, tormenting his tense and fragile nerves.

"Then think back carefully to what you did in this car before. Didn't those count as murder?"

"That...that was just to survive! They couldn't hold on, it has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me!"

"That's true," Song Yuan nodded. "All you did was steal a few clothes, some food, and even baby formula. It's all because those people couldn't withstand hunger and cold, right?"

The man nodded dumbly, then shook his head frantically, "Yes, yes, yes! No, no, no... no, no!"

"So even you can't explain it clearly?"

Song Yuan looked directly into his cloudy, dirty eyes and calmly said, "You have something quite nice on you, can I borrow it?"

Without hesitation, she plunged the knife into the man's artery, blood spurting three meters high and splattering across half her face.

"Aaaaaahh ...

The system emitted a piercing alarm, and the fluorescent blue display screen turned blood red.

【!!!】

The player violated system rules, and the hidden quest failed!

Prepare to eliminate this player!

Two numbers glowing red appeared in the center of the screen: 60.
