Qi Xiao opened the chat room, wanting to see if there was any discussion about train coins and silver coins.
Online Users: 9021.
The number of people decreased so much today?
Damn, you brat from Gaojia Town who snatched potatoes from me today, remember this, don't let me meet you again, or you'll be in for a treat!
Who the hell smashed my car window? My car is now drafty!
There was no news about train coins or silver coins.
Looking at this, many people are at multi-person stations.
No wonder the number of people plummeted; not only is there the danger of stopping at a station, but also the struggle among themselves.
At this station today, only he survived.
Why must we fight and kill? Can't we cooperate with others? Two people together clearly have a greater chance of survival than one!
You can cooperate with others. I am currently on someone else's Train! And upgrade materials can also be transferred. The materials we both collected combined will soon be enough to upgrade to level two!
Oh, Big Shot, I really didn't expect it could be operated this way.
I'm 168cm, a pure college girl. Looking for a big brother to team up with online. Must be 185cm with six-pack abs, handsome preferred!
Heh heh, still young. What's the use of being handsome? What's important is to be lasting.
Qi Xiao knew about material transfer, but getting on someone else's Train, teaming up? Could it be that simple?
Unless it's friends or family they already knew in reality, how could they team up with a stranger in this situation, let alone easily get on someone else's Train or even transfer the materials they collected?
In a situation with no laws, no social structure, almost entirely operating under primitive society rules, when people meet, survival always comes first.
The reality is, one monk has water to drink, two monks fight over water.
Qi Xiao looked around; currently, the number on everyone's avatar was one, which meant no one had reached level two yet.
He didn't know when a multi-person station would stop again, so he had to upgrade quickly to see if he could unlock any new functions.
Qi Xiao checked the information for the next station.
This stop: Old Zhang Electronics Store (Single-person Station)
This station is a digital store, no danger.
There was a Station Announcement, allowing him to know in advance what materials he could likely get at the next station, whether there was danger, and how high the danger level was.
Digital store?
It seemed there would be no food at this station, but there should also be no danger.
Qi Xiao relaxed, lay down on the yoga mat, and conserved energy.
......
Qi Xiao was woken up by the urge to urinate. He got up, picked up the bottle filled with half a bottle of 'iced black tea,' and relieved himself forcefully.
He didn't know if it was because he ate less, but it was already the fourth day, and Qi Xiao hadn't had a bowel movement yet.
For breakfast, Qi Xiao planned to eat cactus fruit, but he found that most of the fruits had already begun to rot.
The compartment temperature was constant, yet they rotted?
Are these things so difficult to store?
Qi Xiao quickly put them up for trade.
Dozens of pounds of fruit were exchanged for two bottles of mineral water, five compressed biscuits, three packs of crispy noodles, and one roll of toilet paper.
It could be said to be a low-price sell-off.
However, there was no other way; it was better than letting them rot in his hands.
At eight o'clock, the Train stopped.
Qi Xiao put on his shoes, picked up his tote bag, and walked into Old Zhang's Digital Store.
He quickly scanned the area; like the gym, it was also an enclosed space.
However, unlike the gym, there were clear signs that someone had been here.
Many things had been completely swept away.
Tsk.
It seems I'm not the first person to visit this station.
Qi Xiao started eyeing the tables and chairs in the store...
Qi Xiao kept one chair that allowed him to sit at eye level with a screen, and threw the rest into the feeding area.
Three hours passed quickly. When the Train started, Qi Xiao glanced at the material collection progress:
Metal: 300 kg / 426 kg
Plastic: 150 kg / 17 kg
Wood: 100 kg / 83 kg
On the fourth day, the material collection progress was already more than halfway done.
Qi Xiao unscrewed a bottle of electrolyte water, and with compressed biscuits, he made do with lunch.
Sitting on the chair, Qi Xiao scrolled through the chat room.
Finally, he didn't have to stand while chatting.
Brothers, do you have any food? I haven't eaten for two days. Who can trade me some food? Guaranteed pure college girl product.
Me, I have! I'll offer a pack of instant noodles, don't you dare snatch it from me!
I want some too, I'll offer two packs!
No, big brother, what time is it now, and you're still inflating prices?
Food is such an important thing, are you crazy to trade for that?
Brother, I lack everything but food, so what?
Qi Xiao was also curious if anyone would actually trade food for that stuff at this time.
He clicked on the young lady's avatar, and sure enough, she had a trade listed: any food for underwear.
The next second, this trade record immediately showed as completed.
Six.
I still have socks. Are there any brothers who want to trade for food? This time I want water.
Me, I'm coming! Damn it, whose hand was so fast just now? I didn't even get to snatch it! You're not allowed to snatch this one from me!
The socks the young lady put up for trade were instantly completed again.
Why are these things so popular?
Seeing no valuable information, Qi Xiao checked the next stop.
This stop: Big Snow Mountain (Single-person Station)
This station is a mountaintop, danger level: 1.
Snow mountain?
The next day, at eight o'clock, the Train arrived at the station.
Qi Xiao wanted to collect some snow, but as soon as the Train door opened, just extending a hand out, he could feel the biting cold wind blowing.
With his short sleeves, he couldn't withstand it at all.
Looking at the vast expanse of white outside, he understood the despair of those who stopped in places like grasslands, snowfields, and forests.
Resources were scarce, difficult to collect, and the effort and reward were completely disproportionate.
The Train started, and Qi Xiao sat on the chair, staring at the screen, constantly praying:
No grasslands, forests, or small deserts!
I'm willing to give up 'solo art' for three years for a mall, supermarket, or food street!
Next stop updated.
This stop: Sanshan Station (Single-person Station)
This station has a large supermarket, no danger.
Damn, I just talked big, and you made it real?
Qi Xiao's mind was already filled with shelves full of snacks and drinks.
Moreover, supermarkets also had various tools, kitchenware, clothes, bedding...
He really needed a quilt now; Chinese people's habit of covering their stomachs when sleeping was genetic, and the towel was really too small.
He also needed a pillow; the laptop was too hard and hurt his head.
An excited Qi Xiao suddenly felt a stomach ache. It had been five days, and this was his first time having a big one.
