Inside the Stellar Train, the radar was beeping incessantly. In the distance, countless Zombies were sprinting wildly under the cover of darkness.
The Car Blades extended from both sides of the train and began to rotate at high speed. Along with the whistling sound of the blades cutting through the air, electric currents continuously crackled on the blade surfaces.
The Zombies' speed was no match for the train.
In the blink of an eye.
Chen Mang had already caught up to the horde of Zombies, maneuvering the train like a tiger pouncing into a flock of sheep, or like a red-hot iron rod piercing through snow. In almost an instant, countless dismembered limbs and blood were scattered across the night.
A one-sided massacre.
Occasionally, a Zombie's claw would strike the train's armor, but it couldn't even leave a faint scratch.
He retracted the Wind-Fire Wheel and deployed the "Spider Legs." This vehicle accessory ensured that his train wouldn't get stuck amidst the Zombie corpses, allowing him to recklessly plow through the Corpse Tide.
The width of his Car Blade had now reached 120 centimeters. Wherever it passed, dismembered limbs were left in its wake.
These Zombies had no choice but to flee for their lives, completely incapable of causing even the slightest damage to his train. In terms of speed, there were very few creatures on the wasteland that could outrun his Stellar Train.
These Zombies were no exception.
But... the number of Zombies was simply too vast.
He had already lost count of how many Zombies he had killed. At a glance, the number of Zombies didn't seem to be decreasing. Moreover, Chen Mang's brow gradually furrowed as he noticed that the Corpse Tide continued to charge relentlessly in a specific direction, almost completely ignoring him.
This reminded him of a message he had seen a few days ago on the Train Radio.
It mentioned that the Corpse Tides on the wasteland had recently become much more aggressive for some unknown reason. Not only did they frequently besiege trains, but they also often attacked other monsters, which was a rare occurrence in the past.
The abnormality before him quickly brought this message to mind.
Chen Mang slightly narrowed his eyes but didn't slow down the pace of the massacre. Upon encountering the Corpse Tide, he had immediately spent 500 units of Iron Ore to craft a green-tier accessory, the "Powerful Magnet."
The blueprint for this accessory had dropped when he killed that Level 3 Man-Eating Spider the other day.
Its effect was to collect all items dropped by monsters killed by the train or its crew within a certain range and store them in the train's compartment.
He hadn't crafted this blueprint before.
After all, he didn't have a use for it at the time, so he didn't want to waste resources.
This accessory finally had its moment to shine. After spending 2000 units of Iron Ore to upgrade it to Level 5 in one go, he also obtained a corresponding Supermodel Effect.
「Powerful Magnet Level 5 Supermodel Effect」: Collects all items dropped by monsters within range upon their death and stores them in the train's compartment.
Moreover, the range increased from the original 100 meters centered around the train to 500 meters.
Chen Mang's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the Supermodel Effect of the "Powerful Magnet." This might be the most overpowered Supermodel Effect among all his vehicle accessories so far.
The original accessory merely allowed him to quickly collect loot in environments like the Corpse Tide, where stopping was inconvenient.
The new Supermodel Effect directly ensured that, within range, no matter who killed the monster, all dropped items would be sucked into the train's compartment—completely unreasonable.
On top of the train's front, a U-shaped magnet composed of several glowing lines appeared. A few seconds later, when the lines dissipated, a black U-shaped magnet about the size of a suitcase was embedded into the train's front.
After connecting it to the Generator through the Circuit System and activating it.
The U-shaped magnet continuously emitted wave-like rays of light. Wherever the train went, all dropped items were sucked into the compartment.
He didn't bother checking what loot he had obtained, simply continuing to control the train as it massacred the Corpse Tide. He wasn't sure if this particular Corpse Tide was the same one that had been attacking him a few days ago, but it didn't matter. They were all Zombies, after all.
The train's control method was primarily brain-based.
In other words, it was consciousness-driven, with his consciousness merging with the train. As he thought, the train moved. However, there were also some mechanical manual control methods, such as the throttle and control stick. These manual controls weren't just for emergencies.
A Train Conductor would only lose the ability to control the train with their consciousness upon death.
These manual controls served two purposes: one was to assist with precise operations, and the other was to give the Train Conductor a sense of driving experience, allowing them to feel the immediate feedback physically.
About half an hour later.
The Zombies before him no longer formed a tide. Only a few hundred scattered Zombies remained. If these few hundred Zombies were placed in the City Ruins, they would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Survivors hiding within. But in the face of the Stellar Train, they were no different from ants.
Sitting at the control panel, Chen Mang frowned slightly as he looked out at the Zombies. The Zombies that had been charging relentlessly suddenly stopped. He had been chasing them all this way.
Behind him was a long, crimson path composed of countless dismembered limbs and black blood.
And those Zombies had suddenly stopped, kneeling on the ground like fanatical cultists, vomiting continuously. Large amounts of flesh and blood were spewed out, splattering on the ground. The entire scene was both bloody and nauseating.
They even completely ignored the threat posed by his train.
Chen Mang also noticed that the wasteland before him was covered in a thick layer of bloody, sticky substance. Numerous limbs could be seen—human, Zombie Wolf, Man-Eating Spider, and even Goblin.
After all, that small, green arm was easily identifiable as belonging to a Goblin.
"The situation doesn't look good."
Although he wasn't sure what was happening, Chen Mang couldn't help but feel uneasy. He still knew too little about this world. It was better to leave now and return to the Doomsday Abyss to continue developing. The outside world was too dangerous.
The ground suddenly began to shake. The Zombies kneeling on the ground started to roar incessantly. Immediately after, a Level 2 Zombie standing on that bloody, sticky substance suddenly opened its bloody maw, and a powerful suction force emanated from its mouth.
The bloody, sticky substance covering the ground was all sucked into its mouth, forming a crimson whirlwind.
This Level 2 Zombie's body size rapidly increased, quickly growing to a towering ten meters tall. After all the bloody, sticky substance was absorbed into its abdomen.
The now ten-meter-tall Zombie let out a deafening roar, its eyes filled with brutality and bloodlust as it glared down at the Stellar Train. Its gaze pierced through the train's windows, directly locking onto Chen Mang, who was sitting at the control panel.
