“Crimson Legion?” “Right!
It’s an organization led primarily by women, filled with sweet and soft little cakes.
Don’t you want to join?” “I don’t want to.” Lu Xingyuan rolled his eyes.
How desperate would I have to be to willingly suffer in there?
What surprised him, however, was that Gu Wanqing hadn’t joined either.
“It seems like too much trouble.
I still prefer being alone and carefree.” “Did they ask you to report your Talent?” “Yeah.” “You didn’t report it?” “How did you know?” “Your Talent must be amazing, right?
If it were something ordinary, you’d have already joined them for mutual support.” “…
I’m feeling a bit tired.
I’m going to sleep now.” The next day.
9:00 AM.
Lu Xingyuan ate three bananas in a row and let out a satisfied burp.
Bananas don’t keep as well as apples, so he had to prioritize finishing them off.
In the chat channel.
After a night of activity, various factions had begun to take shape.
The most powerful one was undoubtedly the Mutual Aid Society, which had been established first.
Train Master Sun Yi: “Thanks to our relentless efforts, the Mutual Aid Society now has eight members, and I’ve been promoted to a Level 2 Train Master!
I think this speaks volumes about our strength.
So, if any Train Masters want to join us, please hurry!
Time waits for no one—fall behind one step, and you’ll fall behind every step!” Eight Level 2 Train Masters!
This immediately caused a huge stir!
“Wow, that’s insane!” “This is the benefit of sticking together!
An individual’s strength is insignificant, but when united, we can overcome any hardship!” “I want to join the Mutual Aid Society family!
I want to reach Level 2 too!” What Lu Xingyuan hadn’t expected was that the second-ranked faction was actually the Tianhua Society, led by Wang Tianhua, with a total of six Level 2 Train Masters in the organization!
“This guy…
actually has some skills.” Ranked third was the Steel Revival Society, with five Level 2 Train Masters.
Of course, according to them, although their number of Level 2 Train Masters wasn’t the highest, they were the strongest in actual combat power because their leader was about to advance to Level 3.
“Really?
That fast?” Although skeptical of this claim, Lu Xingyuan understood that he shouldn’t underestimate the heroes of the world.
Ranked fourth was the Pure Thought Brotherhood, with four Level 2 Train Masters.
Fifth was the Crimson Legion, also with four Level 2 Train Masters.
As for other scattered factions, they only had one or two Level 2 Train Masters in their organizations, making them relatively weaker.
“Numbers really do make a difference.
With so many underlings gathering resources for you, your train’s level must be skyrocketing, right?” “In that case, why don’t you start your own faction?” Gu Wanqing asked.
“What?
Do you want to be my first loyal follower?” “Get lost.” 9:30 AM.
[Train Operation Notice] [Next Stop: Single-Person Platform · Doggy Paradise] [This Station is: Green Platform.] [Please prepare accordingly.] Green Platform?
That’s something to look forward to.
10:00 AM.
The train arrived on schedule.
A Mana Orb dropped.
Inside were 10 sets of simple circuit boards needed for train upgrades.
Excellent.
Another firm step forward toward the upgrade goal.
Peering carefully through the train window, Lu Xingyuan saw the so-called “Dog Paradise.” Within sight, large sections of rusty mesh fencing had collapsed like the skeletons of giant beasts.
Dozens of low, squat kennel buildings stood in deathly silence, their window openings pitch black.
Withered yellow weeds sprouted from the cracks in the concrete ground.
More conspicuous were the long-blackened, ground-in splatter stains and some scattered, gnawed, pale-white bones.
Even more eerie was the excessive quiet of the entire base—no birdsong, no insect chirps.
Lu Xingyuan gripped his gun tightly, finding only the slightest sense of security.
But the next second, without warning—thump—a crimson, bizarre figure abruptly pressed against the train window!
It was a Zombie Hound!
Its eyes were murky like grayish-white fog, its entire face a blurred, rotting mass of flesh.
Only the interlocking, densely packed sharp fangs in its mouth were exceptionally clear.
No cavities.
Good, you’re a hygienic, clean-loving good doggo.
[Zombie Hound] [Level: 1] [Description: Canines infected by the zombie virus; extremely high agility, bite force is lethal.
Warning: Danger rating higher than Ordinary Zombies.] The Zombie Hound kept slamming against the train window.
The Temporary Shield provided by the external armor plating was steadily weakening.
If this continued, the train would soon take damage and lose durability!
But so far, no method to restore durability had been found.
Lu Xingyuan knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer and directly pulled the trigger!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Tongues of flame erupted, shattering the window glass, followed by bullets accurately striking the Zombie Hound.
Although the Zombie Hound possessed extremely high burst speed, its vitality was somewhat lacking.
It was easily taken down by Lu Xingyuan!
But new Zombie Hounds kept pouring out, their speed so fast it left crimson afterimages.
Inhuman growls rumbled in their throats as they surged from all directions, carrying a foul, bloody wind.
Lu Xingyuan’s finger didn’t leave the trigger.
Bullets poured out like a dense rain, continuously suppressing the Zombie Hounds ahead.
It must be said, Infinite Firepower was just too overpowered.
Under this sustained suppressive fire, in less than ten minutes, the last Zombie Hound bit the dust.
Now, the area before the train door was piled high with Zombie Hound corpses, dense and numerous like a small hill, a shocking sight.
The Temporary Shield from the external armor plating had long been depleted.
The train door was visibly warped and deformed, but fortunately, it didn’t affect opening and closing.
Lu Xingyuan carefully moved the Zombie Hound corpses aside, afraid their blood, carrying the zombie virus, might contaminate him.
After painstakingly clearing a path, he finally began exploring the Dog Paradise before him.
The harvest from the Green Platform should be quite substantial, right?
But after looking around, Lu Xingyuan was dumbfounded.
Rusted steel turned out to be the only thing here that could be considered valuable resources.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” No, no, something must be wrong.
Lu Xingyuan continued searching.
After all, he had two hours of layover time, no need to rush.
It’s a good thing he had an electric scooter; otherwise, searching through all two hundred acres of the breeding base would have been quite a challenge.
Finally, he noticed something unusual.
In the cement-brick house at the center, there was a secret underground passage.
Standing at the entrance, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and could faintly hear a series of low, muffled sobs.
