CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 121: "TRAIN ELEVATOR"._2

There are some faint footprints only on the first floor of the villa in front of me.

No footprints can be seen on the second floor steps.

It seems that the thugs who ransacked this villa only searched the first floor and didn’t bother to check other places. He completely understood them; when he used to be a thug himself, he would also avoid such eerie places.

The stuff belonged to the Train Captain.

The life was his own.

Why take the risk.

Back then, he wouldn’t have even dared to enter upon this sight, feeling uneasy, but today was different.

Biaozi bravely took the lead and walked straight towards the basement following the AI’s guidance in his mind, heading directly towards the safe house in the corner. It looked like an ordinary room from the outside, but he knocked on the wall.

Very solid.

A lot of reinforced steel was used. He tried pushing down the door handle and then slammed the gun butt against the lock.

It was a fake door.

The real door was a security door behind this fake one, not easy to get in through.

"..."

Biaozi frowned slightly, just about to say something when he noticed a swarm of mechanical nanospiders had somehow crawled to the basement and squeezed through the gap in the security door in front of him.

After a few seconds.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the security door was suddenly slowly opened from the inside.

He immediately pushed the security door open and looked at the two women huddled in the corner, their faces pale with fear, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know Ji Chuchu? That’s Master Mang’s..."

At this moment——

"Mei Jia!"

The Mountain Cat standing behind Biaozi suddenly said in a trembling voice full of excitement, "You... how come you are here? I looked all over Taiping City for you..."

"Wait."

Biaozi looked a bit bewildered at the two starving women in the corner and frowned, "You say that the other woman is your friend?"

"Yes, yes!" said Mountain Cat excitedly, "It’s her! It’s her!"

"Mountain Cat?"

One of the women who was originally huddled in the corner, upon hearing the familiar voice and confirming she hadn’t mistaken the person, immediately had her eyes fill with tears, threw the knife she had been hiding aside, and rushed toward Mountain Cat, her voice quivering with a sob, "I never thought I’d see you before dying. I... I..."

"I also didn’t..."

"Alright, alright, enough with the ’you, you, I, I’."

Biaozi sighed lightly and interrupted the two of them, "We’re on a mission, stay focused, whatever you want to say, wait until we get back."

"Yes."

Mountain Cat also realized that he was a bit out of line, immediately took a deep breath, repressed the emotions surging up inside him, and brought the woman to his side.

...

"Can you walk?"

Biaozi glanced at the pile of instant food packaging bags inside the safe house, then looked at the women struggling to stand in the corner and asked.

There really was a huge amount of food stored inside the safe room.

There’s plenty more untouched, and eventually, they could bring back all of it to the train. The food and water supply seemed quite adequate and should last for another two or three months without issue.

"I can... walk."

The tall woman in the corner struggled to stand up and then looked at Biaozi’s special combat uniform, taking a deep breath: "My father is the chief of the Special Detachment Bureau in Shahe City, did he send you to rescue me?"

"Have all those monsters been wiped out?"

"..."

Biaozi pursed his lips, withdrawing his gaze from the safe room before him: "Special Detachment Bureau, huh? If your father was a dedicated officer, his memorial day should be soon upon us. If he was a cowardly officer, maybe he’s still alive somewhere."

"Master Mang sent me."

"Come with me."

He didn’t say much to this woman. On the train, one couldn’t tell what her identity might be in the future. If she couldn’t walk, he would have had to get two female residents down to help her. The less said, the fewer mistakes made.

Although it seems like...

She probably hasn’t realized that the world has truly entered the apocalypse; her memory still lingers on the Doomsday when it first broke out. It’ll probably take quite some time for her to adjust her mindset.

...

"There’s even this trick?"

In the Constant Star Train room, Chen Mang was somewhat surprised as he looked at Ai standing beside him: "Why didn’t you use this before?"

Ai’s emotionless voice came through the robot speaker.

"There wasn’t an opportunity to use it before, and I only figured out how to use it this way recently."

"I can multi-thread control those mechanical nanospiders to perform some extremely delicate tasks, allowing the mechanical nanospiders to do more than just repair accessories, but..."

"I can only unlock simple locks, I can’t handle the difficult ones unless you can find the materials about unlocking for me to study."

"However, this is already the limit of my computing power. I can only control a certain number of mechanical nanospiders in multi-thread mode, and while controlling this batch of mechanical nanospiders, I cannot control other accessories."

"Pretty good."

Chen Mang nodded, only then looking at the target detection radar on the screen, which showed that several people had been discreetly peeking at him from the windows during his stay here, though none made a sound.

It seems these people also don’t want to leave here.

At least before the food runs out, staying in the safe house is indeed a bit safer than being on the train. Of course, this doesn’t include his train.

And also——

He looked at the "Doomsday Marriage Certificate" inside the drawer and laughed. There was an unexpected gain today. The Mountain Cat’s girlfriend somehow ended up in a safe house in Shahe City from Taiping City.

Another 100 Heritage Value could be obtained.

Although this thing hasn’t been used yet.

But both Heritage Value and Reputation Value are items where when the time comes that you need them, there’s no more time left to acquire. Saving up more in advance doesn’t hurt; now he would have 200 Heritage Value.

At this moment——

The "Train Radio" suddenly received a message from the Train Captain of the Azure Dragon.

...

"Train Captain of the Azure Dragon": Brother, is everything ready on your end? We might not be able to wait for your two-week deadline; the plan has changed, and we need to head to the Heaven-Reaching Tower by tomorrow at the latest.

"Explain in detail."

"The Heaven-Reaching Tower Adventure Map will officially open tomorrow, by that time a "Train Elevator" will fall from the sky to the ground, even without a method to climb a ninety-degree cliff, you can still get up there successfully."

"I thought this was an exploration type adventure map, didn’t expect it to be a competitive type open adventure map, but it wasn’t open yet."

"I mean, the conditions are so harsh, who could explore it, I couldn’t even get up there, how can anyone else?"

"Level 6 trains aren’t allowed to go on this map."

"If you’re going brother, then we might need to meet up tomorrow morning, and head there together."

"I’ll go, you set the coordinates."

"No problem, see you tomorrow morning at coordinate ’391, 8192, 283’."

"Three parameters?"

"Oh, oh, oh, sorry, almost forgot your train can’t fly, you just need longitude and latitude, no height needed, so just meet on the ground at coordinate ’391, 8192’."

...

"..."

Chen Mang looked at the string of chat messages in the train radio expressionlessly, wondering if this guy was doing it on purpose.

Even if his train could fly, couldn’t they meet in the air anyway?

Just wait!

Who says he couldn’t fly too, he already got Bunny Cloud, once he gets some acceleration vehicle accessories as well, he’ll fly too, then he’ll set the coordinates at ’391, 8192, 5000’.

This guy can only fly up to 3000 meters, limited by the level of the Bunny Cloud wheel.

He sure would fly higher than this guy.

Also good.

He has not communicated with other trains closely before, can’t always lock oneself away, tomorrow he will go see how other trains are developing, and see if there’s anything worth learning.
