Chapter 598: Chapter 292 Tutorial_2

Everyone walked to the train where the uncle used a Dormitory Card, and a train car materialized out of thin air, attaching itself behind the locomotive. The uncle exclaimed excitedly, "So this is how it’s used. Since we have two dormitory cars, let’s name them Dormitory Car 1 and Dormitory Car 2. But I prefer the second car. Who is the team leader?"

"Me," Maya raised her hand.

"Please swap the positions of the two cars," the uncle added, "Only when the train is stationary can the conductor swap the cars."

Maya did as she was told, and the uncle said, "I really don’t like Car 1; I want to destroy it."

Lin Wu couldn’t help but say, "I refuse."

The uncle, "You cannot refuse."

"Why not?"

The uncle answered, "Because you can’t proceed without completing the tutorial."

"You’re ruthless." Can’t argue with the system rules.

While they were talking, Maya had already operated the system commands and destroyed Dormitory Car 1, obtaining 10 materials. The uncle pointed at the dormitory car, "There’s a broken window here. Please have the conductor fix it, or you can appoint a repair person to do it."

It cost 10 materials, but the window glass was instantly installed.

The uncle continued, "On a train, everyone has different responsibilities. First is the conductor, who can change everyone’s roles and is qualified for every position. Next is the driver, who can only be the conductor or the driver. Then there’s the repair person, which we have already discussed. The remaining are non-essential professions that require a Professional Card to unlock."

The uncle, "Remember, the currency for this event is money, and the unit is dollars. Currency can be used to purchase items, weapons, or... many possibilities on specific occasions."

The uncle looked at the darkness, "Do you see the darkness and the Blood Mist? Once the train stops, the Blood Mist will approach the train at twice the speed of the darkness. The Blood Mist may not be lethal, but darkness is a different matter. If you are engulfed by darkness, you will enter a 20-second countdown. If you fail to escape the darkness within 20 seconds, your life will also end. With the start of the train, the surrounding Blood Mist and darkness will slowly dissipate until they retreat to the edge. The initial distance is 1 kilometer, and there may be items that can increase this range."

The uncle glanced at his watch; there were three minutes left: "Now, you should name the train."

Maya, "The Orient Express." Once settled, each car displayed the words ’Orient Express’ with options to select the font, color, and even doodle.

The uncle said, "There’s still some time left. Let me give you a brief history of trains, which I believe will be helpful for your journey."

Just then, Lin Wu, who had somehow strayed from the group, ran out of the waiting room holding a card, "Passenger Car."

The uncle disapprovingly said, "Young man, you lack martial virtue."

Lin Wu immediately frisked the uncle, prompting him to busy himself saying, "I apologize, I apologize, I don’t have anything on me, stop touching."

As Hong Yi and others watched in astonishment, Lin Wu let out a chuckle, released the uncle, and said, "I just found a clue. Line 1 is a small town with lots of people."

Qinglang, "Passenger carriage, with lots of people?"

Maya inquired, "Could we possibly collect a fare?"

Lin Wu, "By normal human logic, one would need to buy a ticket to ride."

Maya, "No, I mean, do we also have NPC passengers?"

Lin Wu, "Anything is possible."

The uncle coughed and said, "Now that you’ve discovered the passenger car, I must inform you of some more details. The world’s towns fall into two categories. The first scenario is where the local area has already erupted with a zombie virus, and the second is where it has not."

Currency can only be used to trade with humans. Towns under human control will not hide zombies, but zombie-controlled towns might conceal humans. Furthermore, passengers pay their fare based on the distance traveled by the train and pay upon arriving at each human-controlled platform; they may disembark or not. Ensuring the safety of passengers’ lives is a matter that involves money.

Besides passenger operations, there are also freight cars. The difference is that freight cars must travel along the tracks provided by the cargo owner to reach their destination; failing to do so within the time limit means mission failure.

As the 10 minutes came to an end, the uncle announced, "The event officially begins."

Maya ordered, "Shuihua, familiarize yourself with the operations, Lin Wu, continue scavenging, everyone else transport coal, each trip not exceeding 30 kilograms." 30 kilograms is an average, exceeding that, non-mainforce members couldn’t run. Those without strength couldn’t walk fast if they exceeded that.

As everyone spread out to work, darkness and the Blood Mist started to encircle the train. Faintly, the sounds of zombies roaring within the Blood Mist could be heard. Lin Wu ran out from the waiting room, slithered aboard the train, and threw all the sleeping bags and blankets into the dormitory car. He slithered back down and, along with Wai, flew into the waiting room to grab more bedding and other items.

The supplies had just refreshed.

This was a huge trap. If, due to earlier exploration, they presumed the waiting room had no more supplies and started moving coal with full force at the start of the event, they might not be able to secure any warming materials.

Lin Wu slithered back onto the train, tipped his backpack upside down, and out tumbled a heaping pile of sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets.

Lin Wu dashed back into the waiting room again, turned left to the staff rest area, and swept all the toothbrushes, toothpaste, and towels off the counters into his backpack.

While Lin Wu was clearing out the waiting room, others were diligently transporting coal. The coal was about 50 meters away from the locomotive; everyone was busy digging, carrying, and dumping coal.
