Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 280 Can’t go back?!

"Isn't this more exciting than opening boxes and gambling for luck?!" Su Li was so happy she wanted to jump up and down on the spot.

Having acquired so many valuable items, Su Li and the others threw themselves into their new research.

Time flew by, and soon it was the seventh day.

There were no mechanical monsters chasing after them, as if the conflict of the previous two days was just a dream.

Su Li found it rather strange.

Logically, at this critical juncture, shouldn't they be frantically sending people to find Su Li and the others? Why are they so quiet?

Su Li was unaware of what had happened, but the enemy gave him the impression that victory was already assured.

Sofia offered a different perspective: "Perhaps they captured other players?"

Su Li thought about it and realized it was possible. He certainly wasn't the only player exploring this world. It had been so long since he'd encountered other players during his explorations that he'd completely forgotten about it.

“The only problem now is that Fire-Treading Horse.” Su Li looked at the red-maned white horse leisurely strolling in the open space. “Haven’t you captured Ivan yet?”

"We didn't manage to catch it. That horse was quite arrogant, treating us like servants. It ate the food without a care in the world," Sun Lili complained.

Su Li sighed, "Well, there's nothing we can do then. We'll have horse meat tonight."

He had already figured out this guy's weaknesses.

The fire-riding horse not far away suddenly shivered.

The only thing that worries Su Li is the train's corrosion rate, which has risen to 1% in the last two days.

Upon discovering the train was being corroded, Zurich immediately disconnected it from the carriages. However, the corrosion continued to increase.

That evening, around eight o'clock, Su Li and his team had their equipment ready.

But looking at the Fire-Treading Horse beside him, which still showed no reaction, Su Li felt a little strange.

"What's going on?" Su Li checked the time; it was almost 8 o'clock. Logically, the horse should have already been summoned by the system.

Amidst the unease, the time arrived at 8 o'clock.

A dialog box suddenly popped up in the system.

[Note: Your vehicle has been blessed by a demigod and is locked based on this blessing, preventing it from leaving this world.]

[Please unlock, or abandon the current train and return to Earth Civilization with only the core]

"Damn it!" Su Li slammed his sword into the ground. "So this is where you were waiting for me."

What does it mean to abandon the current train and return to Earth civilization with only the core?

It means the train has reverted to level 0!

Su Li and her group only have a few inventory slots, and all these supplies in the car are just left here?

Then all those hundreds of thousands of words were written in vain!

Su Li returned directly to the train, opened the train panel, and selected to extend the exploration time.

The train's energy level has decreased by 3000 points.

The exploration period has been extended to one month.

Several teammates walked in, and they all looked rather unwell.

"To protect our home, we must break the lock; to break the lock, we must kill the king."

Su Li's expression was displeased. "No wonder they didn't continue to hunt us down. As long as they keep them locked on, we can't escape. We've come this far, who would be willing to throw away all the gains we've made along the way?"

"Once the erosion begins, they just need to stay in the compound and wait for us to walk right into their trap."

Su Li snorted coldly, "That's a good idea. But I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Su Li got off the bus again and found the old village chief.

"Village Chief, where is the capital?" Su Li asked. "We've been locked onto by the Heart of the World. We have to deal with the Heart of the World before we can leave this place."

Upon learning that she had been locked down, Su Li came up with a very malicious plan.

If he is the enemy, he will lie in wait, and if he can't defeat the enemy, he will stall until the world is about to be destroyed, and then he will threaten the players to take them away from the world.

The thought of this made Su Li feel extremely disgusted.

Su Li didn't know where the person who had locked onto them was, but he could go directly to the capital to settle accounts with that person.

Let the people from another world see the traditional craftsmanship of the people of Yanxia by setting up a Jingguan (a mound of corpses).

The old village chief was astonished. "They actually managed to do this? I see. The royal palace is near the Heart of the World. Follow the crack in the earth, and you'll see the rebuilt capital. This crack was caused by the king using the Heart of the World to trigger a massive explosion. Son, bring me the map!"

“Understood.” Su Li took the map, waved to the old village chief, and said, “Goodbye then. I will definitely deliver what you gave me to the Tianyan Beast Clan.”

"Then I'll leave it to you." The old village chief bowed to Su Li.

The train starts moving, and Zurich unfolds the base map.

After the system reshaped this world, it became a relatively small fragment. Su Li converted the units and found that the total distance from here to the capital was 6 kilometers.

The train's speed is 140 km/h, and its maximum speed is 160 km/h.

The journey took approximately 9 days.

Su Li looked through the map and found a small booklet tucked inside.

Su Li opened the booklet, which contained some intelligence.

"Thanks, old village chief." Su Li opened the booklet and began to look through the information.

"It seems that when the old village chief and his group broke with the king, it wasn't as peaceful as he claimed."

Su Li read through the contents of the manual. These manuals were records of battles against the semi-mechanized Skyflame Beastmen, detailing information about the Skyflame Beastmen's mechanization.

Most of the mechanization, Su Li looks a bit like the prosthetic bodies in Cyberpunk 2077, only not at that level.

Meanwhile, Zuli also contacted the Blue Star government and began renting some mechanical skill books.
