Chapter 99 – Slaying and Bountiful Harvest

Suddenly, the light outside brightened, and the surrounding mist instantly dissipated.

Clearly, the other party had used an item capable of dispersing the mist.

Soon, a black train appeared behind, racing along the newly emerged tracks at breakneck speed.

Xiao Wuwang did not act immediately.

The zone he was in was a New Zone, a low-level area. For a high-level Train Conductor to cross into a low-level zone came at a great cost, and those who could make it here were at most level 6.

He had plenty of means to deal with a level 6 train.

The Antimatter Particle Beam Turret, Thunderbolt Tower, and Mad Dragon-X Ice-Fire Launcher all had the ability to destroy the opponent’s train in a single strike.

The already level 5 Viper-S Autocannon, in electromagnetic cannon mode, also possessed the power to threaten a level 6 train.

Moreover, with the train equipped with both magnetic and plasma Shields, he had a certain amount of reaction time regardless.

As the train slowly approached, Xiao Wuwang could clearly see a man dressed in black leather standing atop the black locomotive.

The man had neatly trimmed, spiky short hair, a tall and straight nose bridge, and a pair of pitch-black sunglasses hanging beneath it. Combined with his expressionless face, he was the spitting image of the Terminator T-800’s typical appearance.

The man glanced at Xiao Wuwang, his lips moving as if issuing commands to the intelligent train.

Immediately after, two attack platforms rose from the front of his train.

Those were Offensive Modules!

With a single thought from Xiao Wuwang, the already-prepared Viper-S Autocannon fired an electromagnetic cannon shot first.

“Hum~~”

Just as the electromagnetic cannon was about to strike the opponent’s train, an energy Shield suddenly rose around it.

“Boom!!”

The electromagnetic cannon directly struck the energy Shield, erupting into a deafening roar.

Under the bombardment of the electromagnetic cannon, ripples spread across the energy Shield, its light flickering unsteadily, but it ultimately held firm against the attack.

By then, the opponent’s attack platforms had finished charging. A blazing white energy beam shot forward first.

Without needing Xiao Wuwang’s command, Lao Tie had already activated the magnetic and plasma Shields.

“Boom!”

The blazing white energy beam shattered the outermost magnetic Shield, and the violent energy continued to pour onto the plasma Shield. The plasma Shield instantly glowed brightly, with currents surging wildly across its surface, ultimately dissipating the violent energy without a trace.

Although the plasma Shield’s consumption was also significant, as long as it wasn’t directly shattered, the train’s batteries could quickly replenish its energy, maintaining the Shield’s full operation.

“Whoosh!”

After the energy beam, the opponent’s train launched missiles trailing long plumes of flame!

“Boom, boom…”

A total of 12 missiles struck the plasma Shield one after another.

Although each missile was extremely powerful, the slight time gap between attacks gave the plasma Shield a chance to recharge. After the explosions, the plasma Shield remained intact!

However, when Xiao Wuwang asked Lao Tie about the battery situation, he learned that the Battery Pack, which stored 10,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, now had less than 30% remaining. This showed just how astonishing the energy consumption had been during that round of attacks.

Seeing that a full round of attacks had failed to break Xiao Wuwang’s Shield, the man in black couldn’t help but show a slight change in his previously calm expression.

However, Xiao Wuwang gave him no time to react. After testing the opponent’s attack methods, the Mad Dragon-X Ice-Fire Launcher suddenly emitted a low hum.

Then, with a “boom,” the Mad Dragon-X Ice-Fire Launcher fired a massive fireball from its muzzle.

Wrapped in raging flames, the fireball left a long trail of fire in its wake, like a burning dragon roaring toward the black train.

Seeing this, the black-clad man on the train finally showed a trace of panic.

He frantically ordered the train’s shield to be pushed to its limit.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the terrifying fireball slammed into the black train’s energy shield, erupting into a dazzling burst of light.

Although the black train’s shield withstood the impact, the flames from the explosion continued to burn fiercely, rapidly depleting the train’s energy.

Suddenly, a crisp “bang” echoed as the black train’s shield finally shattered!

The black-clad man watched as the train passed through the flames and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, he was unaware that a silent figure had already infiltrated his train.

Han Xing, through its disguise, had long merged with the surroundings, making it extremely difficult to detect. Moreover, the black-clad man’s attention was entirely focused on the fireball, completely oblivious to Han Xing’s presence.

“Boom!”

The Viper-S Autocannon fired another beam of light.

This beam wasn’t aimed at the black train’s locomotive but at the Living Carriage behind it.

“Bang!”

To provide better vision and lighting, Living Carriages typically used a lot of glass.

This black train was no exception. Under the autocannon’s blast, the glass shattered instantly.

Han Xing, integrated into the train’s roof, immediately slipped inside through the broken opening.

Throughout the process, it drew no attention from the black-clad man!

In the end, the man only felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of his head before losing consciousness.

He didn’t even know how he died!

Throughout the entire ordeal, Xiao Wuwang had only used four methods: the Viper-S Autocannon, the Mad Dragon-X Ice-Fire Launcher, his shield, and Han Xing.

The reason for such an elaborate approach was naturally to avoid revealing his trump cards too early.

In the Survival World, countless methods and tricks abounded. The person before him was clearly just a pawn, and Xiao Wuwang suspected that someone was watching from behind, possibly even observing his every move. Therefore, no matter the situation, keeping a trump card hidden was essential to surviving longer in this cruel world.

From another perspective, as long as he appeared weak enough to make those behind him believe that just a little more effort could eliminate him, they would continuously send people to “deliver resources” to him!

Now, Xiao Wuwang happily boarded the black train to collect his spoils!

The locomotive couldn’t be traded, so Xiao Wuwang directly broke it down, obtaining: Wood25,000, Wood Pith2,000, Iron8,000, Refined Iron1,200, Copper800, Rare Metal600, Mechanical Parts1,000, Electronic Components500.

Keep in mind, this was a Level 6 locomotive. After breaking it down, all he got was a pile of materials. The most valuable modules, Modules, upgrade core components, and Train Upgrade Cards couldn’t be extracted through breakdown.

The remaining carriages were all attached to Xiao Wuwang’s train. After instructing Lao Tie to continue moving forward, he began taking inventory.

This confiscation yielded a total of 10 carriages: one Level 5 Living Carriage, one Level 6 Storage Carriage, one Level 5 Storage Carriage, one Level 4 Armament Carriage, one Level 4 Breeding Carriage, one Level 4 Planting Carriage, and three Level 3 Ordinary Carriages.

Although the Living Carriage was already Level 5, its overall Fatigue Points recovery rate was actually slower than that of his own Level 4 carriage.

The reason was simple: despite being a Level 5 carriage, it only had a noise reduction system module installed, with no other modules or mods to enhance living quality.

This noise reduction module was useful for Xiao Wuwang’s own carriage, so he directly removed it and installed it onto his frequently used Living Carriage.

As for replacing this Level 5 Living Carriage as his permanent residence, he never considered it. He was accustomed to his own designed carriage, and besides, once his Fatigue Points recovered, he could upgrade his carriage to Level 5 at any time.
