Chapter 166 The Beads of Mysterious Origin



Sam's Diary Day 7

"Today, we still haven't received any rescue."

"Without contact with the outside world and only a few supplies left, how can we survive until rescue arrives?"

"The faction that stayed behind has started fighting amongst themselves again."

"The poor woman protecting her child grabbed a bottle and knocked the leading Black man to the ground; everyone was terrified!"

"In the face of extreme hunger, humanity is extinguished, and everything becomes so chaotic. I am truly an incompetent train conductor..."

"Many people began to flee the train. They remembered the crazy father and son from the Departed Faction yesterday and dared not take the Departed Faction's old route. They could only turn back along the original railway line."

"However, even if we turn back out of the tunnel, it is not an easy choice. The Kakabul Mountains are teeming with wolves, and the Derington Wilderness is teeming with venomous snakes. No matter how we look at it, it is a dead end."

"People started to go crazy, venting their anger on me, the train conductor. My leg was injured, and I had no choice but to escape from the train..."

"I followed my sense of direction through the highway tunnel and actually encountered the monster the father and son had described—I saw someone who looked exactly like me!"

"My injured leg left me in a dilemma. I closed my eyes and decided to give up. When I opened my eyes again, I found that the ghostly monster had disappeared!"

"I was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, but after taking only two steps I fell into a deep pit, which made my leg injury even worse."

"The surrounding area was full of moss-covered pebbles. I couldn't stand up and could only move little by little, hiding in a corner."

"I heard the sound of water and smelled a dampness."

...

At first glance, it is indeed impossible to find any valuable key that directly points to the truth.

Recalling the Day 9 fragments that were so hard to find, and based on the records on them, it can be inferred that the train conductor Sam had obviously fallen into the deep and dark sewers due to momentary carelessness.

Chu Zhiqin was unwilling to give up so easily, and she carefully read through all the text again, word by word, but the result was still extremely disappointing.

The entire diary entry was perfectly normal and coherent, but it contained absolutely no information that was useful to them. They had no clue where to begin and were completely lost.

Left with no other choice, she had to temporarily abandon her obsession and give up.

She turned to the side and picked up the bead that emitted a faint green light from the bag.

[Item Hint: A glowing bead of unknown origin.]

The surface of this luminous bead is as smooth as jade. When you pick it up gently, you can even feel a slight coolness. It has a warm and mysterious luster.

In terms of size, its cross-section is much larger than a one-yuan coin, resembling an extremely precious pearl.

The green light is not constant, but sways gently with subtle changes in the surrounding environment. Sometimes it is as faint as a firefly, and sometimes as bright as a star.

Xi Xi didn't understand the purpose of the bead, but she simply felt that it was no ordinary object. When she held it, she could clearly feel an indescribable and strange energy continuously flowing from inside the bead.

Unable to find a solution, Xi Xi decided to stop dwelling on it. She turned and got out of the car, where she immediately spotted Shaliman busily organizing various supplies outside the vehicle.

Sallyman's once unremarkable little car has been completely transformed! From a cramped Class 1 vehicle, it has been transformed into a brand-new Class 2 business van.

It turned out that, in order to ensure that the distribution of resources in the entire team was fair and reasonable, Xi Xi thought it over and over again and handed over the Level 1 vehicle companion talisman that Wei Chenghong had secretly hidden to Shaliman.

Faced with this unexpected and generous gift, Sallyman was stunned and hurriedly declined to accept it.

However, Xi Xi firmly placed the talisman into her hand.

After all, in her previous life she had personally participated in a resource-gathering team, and she was well aware of all the intricacies of human relationships involved.

Regardless of merit, the most basic principle in any team is to ensure fair distribution of resources. Her difficult experiences have taught her the serious internal conflicts that unfair treatment can lead to.

She took Sallyman's moss-covered key, fragments of the diary, the glowing bead, and the three Wesley brothers' Level 2.5 vehicle.

Even if we count Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin as two people, one Tier 2.5 vehicle is equivalent to three Tier 1 vehicles, which is indeed more than enough.

In comparison, Sallyman merely took all the supplies from the Wei brothers' car for free, which seems somewhat unreasonable.

After careful consideration, Sallyman was finally moved by Xi Xi's persistence and gratefully accepted the car talisman from Xi Xi's hand.

The upgraded Level 2 business vehicle looks completely different from Xi Xi's previous business vehicle; instead, it resembles a plus-upgraded version of a cool racing car specially modified by Sallyman.

Xi Xi followed Shaliman into the car and took a look around. The furnishings inside were not too different.

A small, exquisite standing table was equipped with a mini electric kettle, and a power outlet was thoughtfully provided on the edge, which looked very familiar to Xi Xi.

Compared to Xi Xi's composure, Shaliman was incredibly excited. Today, while hiding from the three Wei brothers, Shaliman stepped into Xi Xi's RV for the first time.

Although the situation was urgent and she was unable to examine it carefully, the spacious driving area remained a vivid memory for her.

Sallyman instantly understood that Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin had such a nice RV and ate with her by the campfire every day, purely to take care of her feelings!

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her gratitude deepened even further.
