He then left the resident carriage.
As he passed by Carriage No. 5, he opened the sliding door in the corridor and saw Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao sitting on the bed, talking. At that moment, both of them were frozen in place, lips slightly parted, as if caught mid-conversation.
He stepped forward and grabbed a handful.
The touch felt normal.
There was no sensation of stiffness.
It was just this feeling...
Hmm.
Chen Mang grasped his staff, sensing the information on the Target Detection Radar. No rabbits were pursuing anymore, and the remaining low-level rabbits couldnāt catch up with his train. There were still 22 minutes left until Space Stasis would end.
He glanced at Ji Chuchu, who was grinning while seemingly talking to Yan Yao with her lips slightly parted.
Itās human nature.
Understandable.
Thereās enough time.
He suddenly realized this component might have another significance, like they say, "stealing half a day of idle leisure."
Half a day, thatās enough.
He laid Ji Chuchu down on the bed, the entire process in the carriage was extremely quiet with no resistance, which was quite a strange feeling. He had never experienced it, but it felt quite alright.
minutes later.
He repositioned Ji Chuchu, wiped the residue from her lips with a tissue, and then left the carriage.
He had just been wondering how to spend the remaining time since Space Stasis couldnāt be stopped, and now he had the answer.
...
Back in the train room, a refreshed Chen Mang sat at the control panel, lit a cigarette and watched the information scrolling across the screen.
-
"Youāve killed a Level 15 Red-skinned Rabbit, youāve killed..."
-
He originally thought that using the Gate of Space to kill monsters shouldnāt count as a kill by the Fixed Star, but unexpectedly it did.
Since no item was dropped, it must have meant the item was crushed by the Gate of Space.
"What a waste..."
He sighed lightly, just as the Space Stasis time had passed, and the train returned to its usual noisy state.
"Warning, warn... eh? Train Captain, where are those Level 15 Red-skinned Rabbits?"
"Dead."
Chen Mang glanced at the screen on the Target Detection Radar, gradually slowing the train down until it came to a complete stop with a thud as it hit the ground from mid-air: "Send a team down to prepare for battle."
"Yes!"
Itās not just those few rabbits that are chasing him, itās all the Red-skinned Rabbits in the entire area, itās just that those few high-level ones are the fastest.
Thereās still a large group chasing behind.
However...
Facing the large group of Red-skinned Rabbits, he had no intention of running. After all, his train was Level 14 armor, except the Level 15 Red-skinned Rabbits, any other levels would just be handing themselves over, wouldnāt they?
The rabbits in this area clearly are relentless, unless all the Red-skinned Rabbits in this area are killed, it seems thereās no way to settle in this area peacefully.
This area is different from others.
Once you enter this area, you canāt retreat back to the blue zone, even if itās just a Level 12 train, and hasnāt been upgraded to a Level 13 train.
Meanwhile, his three-hour-long escapade had long made a stir in the "Train Radio."
-
"Is there really someone who would just recklessly enter a purple zone without any preparation? The biggest rule of the āStone Man Regionā is that you canāt kill any Red-skinned Rabbits. Does that guy not know?"
"Thatās called boldness based on skills, itās the first time Iāve seen a train outrun a Level 15 Red-skinned Rabbit head-on. My god, the ear-piercing sonic boom made me feel like I was about to explodeāthe train dashed off right in front of my eyes in a blink, that speed is intense!"
"But... Red-skinned Rabbits are known to hold grudges, theyāre relentless, especially since they reproduce quickly. Who knows how many Red-skinned Rabbits are in this area, that guyās train, no matter how fast, will need Energy Stones, right? How long can the trainās reserve of iron ore last? And thereās no escaping to other zones."
"Not necessarily, it depends on whether that guyās train has expanded capacity. If it hasnāt and thereās a Drill component, it can hide underground."
"It has expanded, I saw that train, I think itās called Fixed Star, it has a dozen or so carriages, quite a substantial expansion, definitely couldnāt get underground."
-
"Theyāre really tight-lipped, this group of folks."
Sitting in front of the control panel, Chen Mang looked at the chatter in the Train Radio and couldnāt help but sigh. During those three hours, he wasnāt just focused on running away; he also threw down quite a few "Neon City Free Entry Tickets." Surely, by now, some trains must have picked them up.
He thought there would be at least one mention of this in the Train Radio.
Surprisingly, no one spoke about it, so discreet.
He did consider hiding underground with the Drill, but he couldnāt just hide underground forever, could he? He came to the purple zone to mine higher-grade ores and seize better opportunities to upgrade his train and travel farther, not to hide underground.
Many rabbits?
Just slaughter them, simple as that.
He was curious to see how many rabbits this area could possibly have as he stood with nearly twenty million tons of copper ore.
After waiting about seven or eight minutes.
The remaining fast-running Level 12 and Level 13 Red-skinned Rabbits were panting heavily as they approached, and the Doomsday Cannon swept over them first. Then Zhang Yi, piloting the "Popeās Mecha" with a giant Wolf Fang Club, roared and charged forward!
"Die!!!"
As the roar echoed, the Energy Stone on the back of the Popeās Mecha began to flicker, followed by streaks of lightning shooting out from its center across a ten-meter radius, freezing all the surrounding Red-skinned Rabbits in place.
