"So what do we do now?"
The words fell into silence.
Everyone exchanged glances but remained quiet until the atmosphere was finally broken by that middle-aged man from before.
"Just wait and see, what else can we do?"
"Everyone, get ready. We donāt have detailed information about this āZombie Volcanoā yet, only that there are a lot of zombies. Weāll have to wait for the eruption and then deal with it."
...
On the Zombie Basin.
The Constant Star Train was speeding through the night.
Sitting inside the train, Chen Mang looked at the private messages sent by those Level 9 Train Captains on the Train Radio and chuckled silently. He wasnāt in a hurry, and he wondered if they would be.
After all, no one could leave the Zombie Basin.
Take your time playing.
At that momentā
A private message from Er Dan came through the Train Radio.
"Master Mang, is this crisis really that huge? I only have over 300,000 copper; I donāt know if thatās enough. Send me your coordinates, and Iāll bring it to you."
Chen Mang glanced at Er Danās message, thought for a moment, and replied.
"No rush, Iāll contact you later."
"Alright, let me know if you need anything anytime. But Master Mang, shouldnāt it be safe if Iām flying in the air? Can the number of monsters really cover the entire Zombie Basin?"
Chen Mang considered the vast, exaggerated cave and the many monsters he had never seen before and replied once more.
"Prepare for the worst."
The next moment!
The Target Detection Radar detected a train, a Level 6 train, currently mining on a Level 2 iron ore site.
He furrowed his brows slightly, immediately pushed the control lever to turn the trainās head, and headed towards this Level 6 train.
As he was about to approach.
"Beep, Beep!!"
A piercing whistle sounded long.
And sent a forced private message.
"Stop mining, hurry and head towards the Shahe Plain, a great disaster is about to erupt in the Zombie Basin, you wonāt survive it."
Then brushed past the Level 6 train.
The Zombie Basin is different from the Shahe Plain; as long as you enter the Zombie Basin you can join the Train Radio, even for a Level 6 train. It means this Level 6 train clearly saw the messages on the Train Radio and still dared to mine here, truly calm.
If in this crisis, which level of train has the highest survival rate.
It should be the Level 6 train.
Before upgrading to a Level 7 train, a Level 6 train can return to the green zone.
...
In the next few hours.
Chen Mang kept operating the Constant Star Train, racing across the wasteland, not encountering any Level 9 trains but did come across a Level 3 copper mine.
Although the train currently has a decent reserve of copper mines, the Zombie Basin is far smaller than the Shahe Plain, but itās not small either. The probability of encountering other Level 9 trains is still a bit low, so he immediately stopped the train by this Level 3 copper mine.
This was the first Level 3 copper mine he encountered in the Zombie Basin.
Copper mines are much rarer than iron mines.
All residents downed a bottle of cola, grabbed picks, and jumped off the train to continue mining.
Every bit helps.
Inside the train room.
Chen Mang looked at the resources on the Train Panel.
"4.341 million units of iron ore, 2.815 million units of copper ore."
Thereās still a bit of iron ore needed to upgrade to Level 9 armor. With a Level 10 zombie blocker, no matter how many zombies there are, heās fearless, unless caught in the crossfire. But besides zombies, there are still many unknown monsters in that gigantic cave.
And...
The reason why the village shakes once every night; he still hasnāt figured it out. Itās not the noise from digging tunnels.
Perhaps as Zhang Yiren suggested, itās the vibration from somethingās extremely terrifying breath.
That monsterās cardiopulmonary function must be excellent, breathing once a day, lasting all day.
Many Train Captains could not sleep tonight.
Mostly because everyone lacked specific intelligence about this crisis. All information came from the Constant Star, and panic spreads like a virus quickly.
A bustling commercial street.
As long as a few dozen people screamed and ran backward, all the pedestrians in the entire commercial street would instantly be infected with panic, turning back and running, even if those behind had no idea what was happening.
-
"Level 8 Mechanical Train, Survival": "I donāt think thereās much need to panic; many here came from the Shahe Plain and have the āDrillā component. At worst, we just hide underground for a while."
"Level 7 Mechanical Train, Unity": "Youāre considering only the Oxygen Generatorās consumption, not the food and other daily componentsā consumption? My train has a fixed daily consumption of 3800 units of iron ore; there are almost no mines underground in the Zombie Basin. Calculate how long your iron ore can last underground?"
"Level 8 Mechanical Train, Survival": "No problem hiding for a month or two."
"Level 7 Mechanical Train, Unity": "Then after two months?"
"Level 8 Mechanical Train, Survival": "Wait for death."
"Level 7 Mechanical Train, Unity": "Indeed."
-
"Drill?"
Chen Mang silently prayed in his heart for those planning to hide underground. His underground driving speed is extremely fast, but thatās because his drill component is Level 50, even he dares not hide underground.
The only way to handle it this time is to kill all these monsters.
Hide for a while, can you hide forever?
No more mining?
Just purely hiding?
And for others, at most, their drill component is Level 3, with an underground speed of just tens of kilometers per hour. To say he doesnāt believe those zombies wonāt dig underground, after all, these zombies themselves were excavated from underground.
