Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 282 Encountering Obstacles Again

"Can't your king control the rebels' mechanical bodies?" Su Li continued to press.

The werewolf replied, "No, the control of the mechanical body still lies with the brain. The king can fight for control, but that requires fighting against other people's brains. The king is strong, but his strength is limited; he cannot fight against so many people."

After learning about the kingdom's current situation, Su Li patted the werewolf's head again, her voice carrying a sense of authority amplified by magic: "Do you have a defensive map of your line of defense?"

"No, we are of very low status and have no access to such intelligence." The werewolf, terrified by the magic, answered honestly, his eyes filled with fear and his voice trembling.

Su Li shrugged and said coldly, "Then you're useless."

After saying that, he stomped hard on the werewolf's neck, crushing it and ending the werewolf's life.

After killing the last enemy, Su Li and his team began to sort through the supplies they could find.

There were two cannons upstairs, which Su Li readily accepted.

Besides that, there were only some shells, explosives, and supplies.

One of the supplies particularly interested Zuli.

【Blessing Supply Liquid】

[Concentrated and refined Blessed Ashes. It can be inserted into a mechanical body as a power source, or consumed directly to transform a physical body into a mechanical one.]

This stuff is like food to mechanized orcs.

Su Li carefully put these things away, preparing to study them to see if there were any solutions.

With the battle over, it's time to clean up the battlefield.

Zurich kept his promise and beheaded all the guys who coveted his train, piling their heads into a mound of heads at the checkpoint, a testament to the traditional craftsmanship of Jingguan, a symbol of intangible cultural heritage in the sweltering summer.

Several intact corpses were then removed for research purposes.

The train continued its journey. Sophia and the Sun sisters took turns on duty, while Su Li, Song Mingyu, and Ivan studied the semi-mechanized orcs together.

“This is the mechanical tissue transformed from the flesh…” Ivan touched the severed mechanical tissue, “The beauty of its seamless integration is truly astonishing.”

“The material is an iron alloy. But it has an unusual property.” Ivan judged the material based on his experience and knowledge. “General methods for dealing with steel will work on these limbs.”

Zuli focused on disassembling the internal structure, explaining, "The interior consists of energy conduits made of magical energy, and these machines are connected to the body via magical energy. Silence-based skills should be very effective."

"The arms are usually equipped with energy cannons or arm blades. The legs have three functions: flame propulsion, pulley acceleration, and pressurization mechanism. After the body is mechanized, an energy core will be generated in the heart area, and the internal organs will become energy furnaces, reducing the dependence on the Blessing Supply Fluid."

Song Mingyu summarized her findings: "The mechanical bodies of these creatures are not pure metal, but a living metal, which is classified as a living thing in terms of magical energy."

"Therefore, some healing techniques can cure their mechanical bodies. Furthermore, their mechanical bodies have also acquired a certain evolutionary function. Just as the human body can be strengthened through exercise, the mechanical bodies of these creatures can also be strengthened through exercise."

This discovery shocked everyone. In their understanding, the evolution of mechanical life forms should be achieved by replacing them with better materials; they had never imagined that metal could also grow through training.

"The world is vast and full of wonders," Su Li exclaimed. No wonder people say that the life forms nurtured in this kind of world have enormous potential. This ability to evolve metal is something that countless metal life forms dream of.

After studying the structure, they began testing the mechanical bodies' resilience and searching for ways to defeat them. The three worked together to explore the weaknesses of this race.

The train continued its journey into the heart of the kingdom.

As the challenges increased, Zuli's progress slowed down.

This result made Zuli realize that their existence had been exposed. That was the downside of the train; the enemy could easily figure out their route by following the tracks.

The time has come to the 21st day of this world.

Zuli and his team finally made it to the core area. Along the way, they dismantled seven checkpoints, which delayed their progress.

Entering the vicinity of the capital city also meant that they had arrived at the center of the battlefield.

The area surrounding the capital was in complete chaos, but the battlefield was contained underground by volcanic ash, thus keeping the intensity of the war under control.

Large-scale legion wars are rarely seen; most are small-scale battles, with the number of people on the battlefield controlled to around a hundred, and they break out everywhere.

After clearing another checkpoint, the train continued its journey. Su Li noticed that the underground cavern was gradually becoming more spacious. Based on his experience over the past few days, Su Li judged that a fierce battle was imminent.

Sure enough, a short while later, a barrage of gunfire erupted from ahead. Through the car window, they saw a chaotic battlefield—magic energy permeated the air, lava exploded, and shouts of battle shook the heavens.

Inside the cave, about three hundred people were engaged in fierce combat, their factions clearly discernible by their clothing. One side consisted of the well-equipped royal army, dressed in uniform, fighting and retreating in an orderly fashion. They numbered approximately 70 men and, through their formation and coordination, held their position flawlessly.

On the other side were the rebels, dressed in disheveled clothes but full of fighting spirit. They numbered over 200 and kept trying to attack the camp.

Behind the army was a tunnel.

“It seems we can’t get through this place without killing these regular soldiers,” Su Li said, frowning.

The surface was covered in volcanic ash, and their train would be activated, allowing the king to seize control.

"Are you going to sit back and reap the benefits?" Sophia asked, her hand already gripping her weapon tightly.

Su Li was still thinking, but the enemy had already made the decision for him.

Upon seeing Zurich's train enter the cave, the rebels' joy faded, replaced by disappointment. They had initially thought friendly forces had arrived to provide support, but instead, they were met with a strange-looking vehicle.

Then, they thought of the rumored player. Wasn't the player they were looking for the one who could utilize this suddenly appearing railway?

This immediately excited the rebels, their eyes shining as they looked at Su Li.

On the other side, the regular army was ecstatic. The king promised them that if they captured players, they would receive a certain number of slots to escape the world.

They could even intercept players, betray the king, seize the players' vehicles for themselves, and leave this world destined for destruction.

The two sides, who were just fighting to the death, tacitly turned their weapons on Su Li and his group.

Zurich's warm greeting, which seemed to extend to the enemy's family tree, was almost palpable.

Am I Teemo? The war can be lost, but Teemo must die, right?
