Chapter 123
"We are about to have a turning point! These new passengers are our turning point. I solemnly introduce them to everyone! They boarded the train not long ago. They have abilities that we don't have, as well as very, very important information! They are here to save us! That is why the train made an announcement!"
“No matter how many collapses and hardships we have experienced before, everything has an end, and we have not been abandoned. No matter how many grievances we have had, I hope everyone will now put the overall situation first, unite and follow these new passengers!”
Although nothing had been decided yet, the bishop spoke with great emotion and as if it were true, shocking people so much that even he himself almost believed it.
According to Lu Jiamu's observations over the previous two months, the passengers on this train did not have any serious hatred or grudges such as murder because they lived for such a long time and could be resurrected repeatedly.
The conflict between them is mainly about the allocation of resources. Passengers are limited in the items they can carry with them, which directly leads to them banding together and hating each other for resources.
But now, after hearing others confidently say that they had a chance to get off the bus, except for a few completely perverted passengers, everyone else immediately decided to temporarily put aside their previous prejudices and wanted to listen to what they said to see what they would do next.
The presence of those perverts who are unwilling to get off the bus makes it easier for other passengers to unite and form a group.
The bishop turned his gaze to the three people here, waiting for them to say something.
This time, the light from the front of the car did not disappear immediately after the restart, but flickered and swayed.
Lu Jiamu looked in the direction of the light and asked, "Who are you?"
The gentle female voice sounded again: "Dear passengers, hello, I am the pilot of this train, and my abnormality number is 8869."
"Are you the one who keeps restarting this train?"
"This question is unauthorized."
"Why did you do that?"
"This question is unauthorized."
Why is it like a repeater?
Lu Jiamu asked Wei Xiaoyan: "How long do you need to rest before you can activate your skill again and launch the next attack on the train?"
Wei Xiaoyan blinked: "It can be done now...because this train has been restarted."
Hearing this answer, Lu Jiamu smiled.
This couldn't be better. As the train restarted, Wei Xiaoyan's skills were also refreshed, just like a perpetual motion machine.
As long as the train body is destroyed, the train will start to restart, and Wei Xiaoyan will be able to recover to the state where she can destroy the train again. How unsolvable this is.
"Then drill a hole in it now."
Wei Xiaoyan hesitated a little: "But we are not at the front of the train now, and we are trapped in a single-car loop."
She was worried that if she used a skill here, it would rebound back to her.
"It doesn't matter. We can all be resurrected anyway."
Wei Xiaoyan was still a little hesitant, and her expression already showed her timidity.
However, in the current situation, it doesn’t matter what Wei Xiaoyan’s reaction or thoughts are. What matters is what abilities she possesses.
She could sabotage the carriages, which gave her an advantage.
“Friendly reminder: Please do not do anything that damages the integrity of the carriage.”
Lu Jiamu felt that Wei Xiaoyan might still be worried about the "punishment" mentioned by 8864, so he immediately said, "Don't worry about what she said. We were just invading her cockpit. If she really has enough authority here, can we just be thrown back into this carriage?"
"She has no ability to threaten us at all. She is just bluffing."
He spoke so confidently and his words were so convincing that Wei Xiaoyan no longer hesitated and stretched out her hands to make a gesture.
A chaotic ball of light appeared between her hands, moved towards the carriage, and corroded a large hole.
The light spot at the front of the train burst into dazzling light, and the entire train entered a new cycle again.
"Keep going until she can answer our questions."
Wei Xiaoyan obediently reached out and tried to activate the skill again.
Before the chaotic ball of light appeared, a warning tone suddenly sounded on the train, and the gentle female voice changed its tone on the spot: "Now we will start to use emergency plan No. 1: referendum for the entire train."
"Since Anomaly 8869 does not belong to any individual, in order to protect the interests of all passengers, major decisions must be made by a joint vote of all passengers."
"Please return to the original carriage in an orderly manner to vote. Only votes cast in the original carriage will be valid. This vote will be anonymous and the voting results will be posted on the bulletin board."
"This vote consists of two items: 1. Should the J3584 train stop running? 2. Should the passengers of the J3584 train get off the train on their own?
If more than half of the people support both items, all passengers can get off the bus."
After hearing this, the passengers in the car had different expressions.
It was quiet for only a moment before a passenger suddenly attacked and tried to attack other passengers.
But the other passengers had survived for so long and reacted quickly, immediately subduing those who tried to hurt others.
In the front car, a man clenched a window-breaking hammer, his veins throbbing, and yelled madly: "Why would anyone want to stay in this broken car? If you want to stay so badly, then stay!"
While cursing, he smashed the hammer on the head of the subdued person again and again, and the man soon died.
The light on the front of the train flashed a few times. "There are 259 passengers on the train. A referendum will begin immediately. Please return to the starting car. Abstaining from voting will automatically mean you are against the decision."
This means that if someone is killed at this time, even if the parking is not supported.
The passengers gave up on seeking revenge against those who had injured others, and were looking for their original carriages while being wary of them. The corridors of the train were in a mess.
The anger and excitement of all the passengers gradually subsided, and they began to vote under the organization of 8869.
A moment later, the voting results of each carriage were announced, and the train became chaotic again, with some people starting to curse.
Lu Jiamu and two others were trapped in the last carriage. Although this was also where they first arrived on the train, 8869 did not give them the right to vote.
On the digital board in this carriage, the following message is being played in a loop: There are 50 people in this carriage, 23 votes in favor, and 27 votes against.
The passengers in the carriage looked at each other with suspicion and began to whisper.
Lu Jiamu glanced at the bishop, who immediately walked to the front carriage to check.
The prompt sounded, and 8869 began to broadcast the results: "There are 259 surviving passengers on this train, 129 votes in favor, and 130 votes against. Train No. J3584 will not stop, and passengers are not allowed to get off."
Isn't it an insult to others' intelligence to give such a good half and half? Is this the benefit of anonymous voting?
I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like a fool?
But there were actually people who believed this, and the train was boiling over again with passengers' mutual suspicion. The madness that had been suppressed because they thought they could get off the train was stirring again.
Everyone thinks that others who say good things on the surface, but secretly don’t want to get off the bus at all, are all crazy.
The carriage became chaotic again, and the passengers returned to huddling together and going their own way.
The bishop walked forward two carriages and came back, shouting as he walked: "Everyone, don't think too much, this is an anonymous vote! A secret operation! Do you understand a secret operation?!"
This kind of voting is really meaningless. No matter how many times you vote, it will be the same. She made the rules. She just didn't want to stop the car.
But now, they have the power to break this rule.
Seeing the bishop coming back, Lu Jiamu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to get off the bus?"
The bishop didn't know why he asked: "Of course."
"No matter what happens next, your thoughts will not change?"
The bishop shook his head, "I want to get off. The water will never recede."
"Okay, I like that you never forget your original intention." Lu Jiamu pointed to the connection between this carriage and the previous one. "I thought about it and realized that this is the weakest point of the train. Why don't you make a hole here first and see if there is a chance to derail this carriage. If it derails, we have a chance to hit the front of the train directly."
This is slowly consuming. 8869 needs to change the rhythm of restarting once every 24 hours to restarting all the time, but Wei Xiaoyan and Kou Man can always be in the best condition.
As long as the time is long enough, maybe a day, maybe a year, maybe even longer, one day she will be exhausted to death.
8869 turned on the car-wide broadcast again and said that another vote would be held to determine whether the car should stop.
But the last time she called for a vote, it was just a waste of time. No one would believe her this time. Even her rhetoric hadn't changed. Everyone knew she was stalling.
Wei Xiaoyan immediately used her skills on the joint of the train, corroding a hole. Seeing her doing this, Kou Man also began to tear it apart.
"Warm reminder: Do not attempt to damage the integrity of the carriage."
8869 finished repeating, and a burst of light burst out from the front of the car. The torn car was healed.
But Wei Xiaoyan also recovered to her best condition and corroded a hole in the seam of the carriage, and Coleman tore it apart with force.
