Chapter 20, Addressing Hidden Dangers
"Is this the case for all selected copy planes?"
Zhong Bingxuan's question was directed at Fu Yuchen, the only veteran player on the field. The others were all newbies, and their only dungeon was the Faceless Mudman theme on Blue Star, so they didn't know much about it.
"Yes, once you enter a post-apocalyptic planet, if you haven't resolved all the post-apocalyptic crises in the instance, your only option is to grab a ticket, board the train, and leave. Otherwise, you'll perish along with that planet."
"After the Doomsday Train starts moving, it will announce the four themes of the dungeon. You can listen carefully, as it will be of great help in your future dungeon runs."
Fu Yucheng briefly explained a few things and then went to the treatment ward.
That political rival was weaker than Fu Yuchen in combat, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to launch a sneak attack on Fu Yuchen.
However, Fu Yuchen still had to carry Zhong Linlin, who was a complete weakling, and his body suffered considerable damage. But that person's injuries were even more severe. If he was unlucky, he might not even make it onto the apocalyptic train and die directly in the planetary explosion, becoming one of the many human fireworks for people to watch and discuss.
Fu Yucheng thought maliciously, but unfortunately the instigator on the other side had survived by sheer luck.
"Boss, why?"
Seeing the disbelief in his underling's eyes, Qiu Baixuan coldly wiped the dagger in his hand and said casually, "If you want to blame someone, blame Fu Yuchen. Who told that bastard to destroy all the ticket coordinates for the missions in the vicinity? Given my physical condition, I can't go very far at all."
By stealing the low-class tickets from his loyal subordinates, Qiu Boxuan managed to board the doomsday train just in time, thus avoiding the fate of being burned alive.
"Damn woman, if that woman hadn't suddenly appeared and caused trouble, I would have killed Fu Yucheng long ago. I missed such a good opportunity, and it won't be so easy to deal with that guy Fu Yucheng next time."
...
Fu Yuchen, who was being targeted, kept sneezing and muttering about who was cursing him.
"Don't speak, the train is starting."
Li Hanmo felt the train slowly begin to shake, and the train announcement was about to sound.
[The entire staff of the Doomsday Train is at your service. All resources on this train are redeemable with points, including health points. If a player's health points reach zero, they will die instantly.]
Only those with tickets can board the doomsday train and travel to the next doomsday station.
[Note: The post-apocalyptic station themes are divided into four types: Disaster Arrives, Monster Invasion, Supernatural Resurgence, and Crazy Battle Royale. Players in higher-level carriages can accept train missions, complete ticket missions, and obtain the location of the next ticket.]
[Distinguished first-class players can return to the apocalyptic train simply by completing the mission, without needing to find another ticket. They even have the freedom to choose their destination and enter the station three days before the apocalypse to gain a favorable position.]
[The current First Class cabin owner is Zhong Bingxuan. We encourage everyone to learn from her, strive to upgrade your cabin level, and obtain more benefits.]
...
"They're always trying to find ways to trap me."
When Zhong Bingxuan heard the Doomsday Train reveal her name, she couldn't help but mutter aloud.
If it weren't for the Doomsday Train's unexpected intervention that exposed her coordinates, Zhong Bingxuan wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.
“Only mediocre people are not envied. Zhong Bingxuan, you should be proud.”
Fu Yucheng teased Zhong Bingxuan in a roguish manner, and Zhong Bingxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes and said coldly, "Would you like this kind of attention-grabbing treatment?"
It's easy to talk when you're not the one suffering. You're constantly being targeted for your life, and you can't even sleep peacefully. Whoever wants this kind of thing can have it.
"Haha, I'm just a fool, I'm not good enough for this kind of thing. It's more suitable for you, shrew, to do this kind of thing that's in the spotlight for big stars."
Fu Yuchen shook his head. Surviving in the dungeon was already exhausting enough; he didn't want to play a battle royale game with all the other players.
"I wonder if the system store has anything that can hide coordinates?"
Every time she enters a dungeon and completes the first-class ticket quest, she faces the relentless pursuit of all the ruthless players. Even if Zhong Bingxuan had a hundred lives, they wouldn't be enough to satisfy her.
"Yes, on the last page of the copy shop, there is a system blocker that can block all tracking markers, including the system's own red coordinates."
Li Hanmo was most concerned about Ah Xuan's safety. After the train started and he heard the train announcement, Li Hanmo went to the store to find a solution to Ah Xuan's problem. He happened to find a solution, but it was a bit pricey.
"Ah Xuan, I need 20,000 points. Do you have enough points? If not, I can transfer some to you."
Li Hanmo recently killed the Faceless Mudman and completed the first-class train ticket mission, accumulating a total of 15,000 points. He transferred 10,000 points to Ah Xuan, leaving him with 5,000 points to use.
"No need, I have enough. Hanmo, since you have more points, just upgrade your talent level so you can get better equipment in the next dungeon."
After numerous battles, including player deaths that yielded loot, Zhong Bingxuan accumulated 30,000 to 50,000 points, more than enough to buy a jammer.
Hanmo's points should be kept for his own use. This time, without the explosive pack from Hanmo's ever-changing backpack, Zhong Bingxuan won't be able to escape the players' relentless pursuit so easily.
[Ding, would you like to spend 20,000 points to purchase a system blocker?]
"yes."
Having successfully purchased the system jammer, Zhong Bingxuan immediately had something resembling an antenna in her hand.
Zhong Bingxuan looked at it and found that it was only attached to her body and its effect lasted for one instance. It could only be used within the instance and could not be used outside the instance.
However, this is enough. Outside the dungeon, Zhong Bingxuan will only stay on the Doomsday Train. Since killing is prohibited on the Doomsday Train, there is no need to worry about being tracked to her coordinates and killed. Once she enters the dungeon, she can bring the system shielding antenna and will not have to worry about the system revealing her coordinates after completing the mission, making her a hot commodity among players and causing a lot of trouble.
Seeing that his girlfriend wasn't being modest and could actually buy the system jammer, Li Hanmo didn't say much and started upgrading his talent skills.
On the other side, Zhong Linlin and Fu Yuchen sat on the sofa, occasionally lowering their heads to discuss things in hushed tones, clearly spending points to enhance their abilities.
Not wanting to be left behind, Zhong Bingxuan found a seat, opened the system panel, and wondered whether it was better to upgrade her talent ability or her weapon.
Both of these items were very helpful to Zhong Bingxuan in this instance, especially her dual innate abilities. Without either one, she would have died in her own home, and none of the subsequent events would have happened.
Two top-tier weapons are also a good choice, as they can greatly enhance one's combat power. Sometimes, in dungeons, the stronger one's combat ability, the greater the chance of survival.
