Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Fourth Station
“It actually gave me the sharpshooter’s ability directly.”
With this ability, Ye Qiyan felt that if he encountered the zombie monsters from last time again, there was no need to hide everywhere.
After digesting all the rewards completely, with nothing to do, Ye Qiyan ate the White Forest Fruit and opened the private chat interface of the Chat Room.
He was somewhat famous among this batch of survivors anyway, so maybe someone would take the initiative to trade with him. It would be too regrettable to miss out if someone happened to have blueprints or Train Coins.
“Hmm? Li Xiaosheng? Is that not the Three-Station Man?”
“Inviting me to join the Alliance? Alliance? What was that again?”
Ye Qiyan carefully recalled, and then remembered what the Alliance mentioned by Li Xiaosheng was.
“Alliance… I always feel it is quite unreliable.”
Hesitating for a moment, Ye Qiyan chose to accept Li Xiaosheng’s friend request.
Although this guy was not on the same path as him, he should have some Train Coins in his hands.
Trading with him was fine, just without getting too deeply involved.
On the other side, Li Xiaosheng, who was fighting over the fishing rod business with others, saw the notification that his friend request had been approved.
He remembered that he had only actively added one person.
“Finally realized to contact me, huh.”
Ye Qiyan: [“Has the fishing rod been made?”]
“Hmm?”
Seeing the message sent by Ye Qiyan, Li Xiaosheng frowned.
[“Brother Ye, long time no see. Have you completed your first Train upgrade?”]
[“Are you selling the fishing rod? How many supplies?”]
Ye Qiyan could not be bothered to answer his question and continued to state his demand.
[“Hehe, of course I am selling it, but I can also give it to you for free.”]
There was no free pie falling from the sky; Ye Qiyan was already waiting for his subsequent “but” message.
[“You only need to join my Alliance. All members of my Alliance only need to contribute five kilograms of wood or one Train Coin, and I will give a day’s worth of rations and a fishing rod as a gift. You should have seen it before; after I upgraded to Level 2, I can manufacture survival rations.”]
[“I know you have accumulated a lot of food and water by selling guns, and even took away more than a hundred kilograms of metal from me, presumably to manufacture firearms. But food will eventually run out, and firearms will eventually have times when they are hard to sell. Join my Alliance, cooperate with me, and arm the members of our Alliance with firearms. Once we can meet in the future, we can instantly become the largest force!”]
With a calm gaze, Ye Qiyan finished reading this long string of messages, chewed on the White Forest Fruit, and typed his reply.
[“So, are you selling the fishing rod? If not, forget it.”]
Li Xiaosheng was not the only person selling fishing rods.
At the very beginning, someone had obtained the blueprint for a machine fishing rod at the first station. That person was still alive and was also selling fishing rods, but very few people were willing to buy.
Seeing that Li Xiaosheng did not reply further, Ye Qiyan could not be bothered to look anymore.
Directly searching for the keyword fishing rod in the Chat Room, he quickly found that person.
[“Are you selling the fishing rod?”]
[“Selling!”]
Look, this was the kind of seller people liked.
Ye Qiyan traded twenty mechanical parts plus a piece of biscuit to the other party and obtained a machine fishing rod.
“Heh, it is even automatic; this is much more than a wooden fishing rod.”
Ye Qiyan nodded in satisfaction and directly started Sublimation.
[Low-grade machine fishing rod → Low-grade temptation machine fishing rod]
[No bait is needed; it will be easier to attract fish after being thrown into the water.]
Ye Qiyan put the fishing rod aside and happened to see a new friend request.
It was the person who sold him the fishing rod, named Zhao Lin.
He chose to accept.

Boom!
Time [12:30:00]
A loud bang came from the gloomy sky.
Inside the Temperature-controlled carriage, Ye Qiyan looked out at the sky through the Train window.
The black dark clouds were so oppressive that it made people breathless. A drop of rainwater fell from the sky and quickly turned into an endless downpour.
[“Ding-dong!”]
The broadcast sounded.
[“Today is a thunderstorm day”]
[“All Train Captains, please note that the next station has a high probability of entering a thunderstorm weather station”]
[“It is recommended to wear rain gear”]
“Is there such a saying? The weather in the wilderness world actually affects the stations? It does not look like the same world at all.”
Ye Qiyan looked at the Crossroads of Fate for his next station.
[Crossroads of Fate triggered, please make a stopping choice between the following two stations]
[Station 1: Thunder-struck Goblin Tribe (Level 3 Hunting Station)]
[Station 2: Quiet Rain Manor (Level 3 Mission Station)]
“As expected, the station level has risen again. When the Train upgrades, the stations will also upgrade. Besides, why is it Goblins again?”
Ye Qiyan always felt that he seemed quite destined to be with Goblins. He was only about to experience the fourth station in total, but stations related to Goblins had appeared three times.
Going by this trend, he always felt that there would be a time when he had to choose a Goblin station.
Even so, he did not plan to choose this one.
People need to have self-awareness; at least right now, he did not plan to enter a place that looked quite dangerous like a hunting station.
As for the second option, you could not tell much from the name, but that did not mean there was no danger.
Do not forget that the doomsday town last time, as a Mission Station, also contained quite a lot of danger. If his equipment had not been exquisite enough, plus the warning device, it would have been absolutely impossible for anyone else to clear it, let alone complete the hidden mission.
“Choose Station 2.”
[Station selection completed]
[Please sit tight and hold on, the fourth station the Train arrives at ahead is…]
[Quiet Rain Manor]
The Train is accelerating.
The space ahead is in nothingness.
The raindrops falling from the sky turned into a thin film shrouding the front of the Train.
Accompanied by thunder and pitch darkness.
The surrounding space suddenly underwent huge changes.
[Current Station: Quiet Rain Villa]
[Docking countdown: 4:59:59]
[Good luck]
[This station: Danger]
Through the Train window, Ye Qiyan saw the scene outside.
The place where he docked was a broken winding mountain road.
In the dark environment, only the raindrops falling constantly from the outside could be heard.
A flash of lightning allowed Ye Qiyan to see a police car emitting blue smoke and a few corpses wearing police uniforms not far away.
“…It will not be like before, will there be zombies?”
“Forget it, let us wake Wall-E up first.”
[Wall-E, startup!]
Throwing one of the last two Train Coins into the body of Wall-E.
Watching the small robot sway away from the Train, Ye Qiyan began to make final preparations to go out.
First were the three special storage units. Besides the White Forest Fruit and bullets, the last unit contained the three virus serums obtained from the previous station and sublimated by him.
[Blessed virus serum]
[Can cure zombie virus/vampire transformation/ghost corrosion/disease infection, and can restore injuries when damaged]
The serum that could originally only cure the zombie virus transformed after Sublimation into an alternative HP potion.
Secondly, a pistol, a rifle, a dagger, body armor, plus a mithril cross.
Fully armed, donning a raincoat obtained through trade, Ye Qiyan pressed the door-opening button.
