Chapter 6: Arms Deal
[ Stamina: 21 ] [ Mental Power: 59 ]
[ Current Status: Exhausted ]
On the Train, Ye Qiyan lay there motionlessly like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
During this last period of time, using his remaining strength to make two round trips back and forth to the armory, aside from expending a lot of physical effort on moving things, he didn’t forget his promise: he used a shovel to dig a grave for that skeleton and erected an unmarked monument.
Ultimately, this completed the final harvest of this stop.
Accompanied by the departure countdown returning to zero.
The originally stationary Train slowly set off.
At the front of the Train, spatial fluctuations suddenly reappeared.
The Train’s speed continued to increase, and after passing through that space, it once again returned to the boundless, dim wilderness.
And at that exact moment, the Train’s broadcast sounded.
[ Ding —— All Train Captains have left the Platform, congratulations to you 9,892 people for successfully leaving the novice first stop safely ]
[ You have officially broken away from the newcomer safety period ]
[ Starting from the second stop, the Train will no longer be guaranteed to dock in a safe area ]
The broadcast’s words caused a huge uproar.
[ ” What do you mean? Weren’t we supposed to leave the Platform an hour ago? ” ]
[ ” Someone stayed an extra hour at the first stop? On what grounds? ” ]
[ ” Could it be that the rules are fake? Could it be that even if we don’t get on the Train when the countdown ends, the Train won’t leave? Is anyone going to try this at the next stop? ” ]
[ ” That’s right, you try it at the next stop. ” ]
[ ” Damn it, I’m reporting someone for cheating! ” ]
[ ” The first stop was actually safe?! If I had known, I would have gotten off the Train to take a look. ” ]
[ ” Will people die even at a safe Platform? ” ]
[ ” Of course they will, my first stop was a desert; if it weren’t for good luck, I would have been swallowed by quicksand. ” ]
They didn’t know that the “big shot” they were discussing was leaning against the ground, sorting through all his final harvests from this stop.
[ Low-Level Marksman Rifle ]: 49 pieces
[ Low-Level Bullets ]: 1,100 rounds
[ Wood ]: 150 kg
[ Metal ]: 104 kg
[ mechanical parts ]: 162 pieces
Besides this, he also found some usable tools in the armory, such as crowbars, shovels, screwdrivers, and other hardware supplies. After throwing the broken ones into the processing Platform for disassembly and recycling, he kept all the rest for backup.
As for the blueprints he currently possessed, the 40 kg of Metal and 110 mechanical parts needed for the [ Low-Level Water Tank ] and [ plug-in garbage collector ] were nothing much to him.
Place the blueprint, deposit the resources.
Through the Train’s control system, both could be equipped on the Train.
” The Water Tank will be placed inside the carriage, and the collector will be hung on the left outer side of the carriage. “
Equipped, Ye Qiyan stood up and walked to the carriage. The original supplies were noticeably missing a chunk, replaced by a Metal water pool with pulleys fixed in place.
This Low-Level Water Tank could hold 1,000 kg of water, and possessed a non-removable isolation layer capable of separating sewage and purified water from each other.
After the sewage brought out from the armory was dumped into the sewage compartment, it occupied about one-tenth of the sewage compartment’s space, which was 50 kg.
” What a pity, there is no water purification device. “
Ye Qiyan felt a slight regret, but he wasn’t all that anxious.
[ ” Acquiring water, glass, fiber, blueprints, and various other resources and items. Interested parties, send a private message with your price. Transactions will be conducted using firearms and food. ” ]
This was the first message he sent in the Chat Room public screen, and after sending it, he didn’t pay any more attention to it.
Obviously, the preciousness of firearms was just as he had previously told Li Xiaosheng; someone would understand their preciousness.
[ ” A gun? Is it that kind of gun where you pull the trigger?! Damn, can you give me one! ” ]
[ ” What a shameless face, having the nerve to ask someone to gift you such a precious item as a gun. ” ]
[ ” My first stop had nothing except a mess of feathers, on what grounds can someone already get firearms? ” ]
[ ” Collecting resources? Is the big shot going to upgrade the Train? ” ]
[ ” Big shot, please carry me, I’m an innocent college girl, send me some food, and when we meet I’ll let you do whatever you want! ” ]
After finishing inspecting the water storage device, Ye Qiyan inspected the recovery device once more.
The recovery device suspended on the roof of the carriage was completely in the state of a black iron box; to see it start working, he would still have to wait until reaching the second stop to find out.
Having sorted these out, Ye Qiyan finally had the leisure to open the chat interface, and at the same time saw the private message interface that was being bombed crazily.
Zhao Ke: [ ” Big shot, give me a gun, I’ll be your lackey, whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it! ” ]
Lin Zhaopeng: [ ” Friend, can you share how you acquired firearms? At a time like this, everyone should help each other. If you have many firearms, you can hand them over to me to distribute to those in need, which can allow more people to survive. ” ]
Shangguan Yingxue: [ ” Lake water, 20 kg, containers not provided. ” ]
Cohen Jones: [ ” I only have 16 kg of glass, can I trade it for a gun? ” ]
…
” Foreigners? “
Looking at some of the special names above, Ye Qiyan was slightly surprised.
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. In this Train survival world, there has never been any rule saying that only humans from the same country exist. No, perhaps even whether they are from the same world is uncertain.
After blocking and muting the guys who loved moral kidnapping and freeloading in one go, Ye Qiyan carefully filtered and actually discovered a few objects available for trade.
” 20 kg of lake water, too little. “
Pondering for a moment, Ye Qiyan replied to the woman named Shangguan Yingxue.
[ ” You know, lake water doesn’t mean it’s drinkable. If you want to trade, show more sincerity. ” ]
Train Captain number E-3-3924, Shangguan Yingxue frowned slightly looking at the response in the chat interface, hesitating for a moment.
Shangguan Yingxue: [ ” How much do you want? Name your price. ” ]
Ye Qiyan: [ ” 100 kg. ” ]
At this current time, water was even more precious than resources like Metal.
After all, this concerned lives.
It wasn’t just about being used to sustain life; more importantly, at this time, even if the first stop headed to a lake with purified water, very few people would simultaneously possess water storage containers.
If it were drinkable purified water, he would be willing to lower the price a bit, but this was lake water, and drinking it would require some effort.
Shangguan Yingxue: [ ” …? ” ]
[ ” You’re asking for too much, let me think about it… ” ]
