Ye Qiyan went back and forth several times, moving most of the food and various seasonings from the kitchen.

He hadn’t forgotten that there were still two living people in the manor.

So he didn’t take everything.

On his last trip leaving the manor, the old butler, who had been standing in front of the iron gate, suddenly called out to him.

“Pastor!”

Ye Qiyan stopped and turned to look.

He saw the old butler, holding the mad security guard, bowing to him.

“Pastor, thank you for saving our lives. If there’s a chance, I will definitely repay you. Please take this.”

“Ah, please don’t misunderstand, I’m not implying that you’ve made too many trips. It doesn’t matter even if you empty the manor. I just remembered it now. If you were to leave like this, I would truly regret it.”

Fearing that Ye Qiyan might overthink, the old butler explained further, handing him a wooden box tied with a ribbon.

“This is?”

Ye Qiyan opened the wooden box and looked at its contents with a hint of surprise.

The old butler shook his head, sighing as he replied,

“Judging by your expression, you must know the RUN Corporation, right? This is the currency for trading with them. With these currencies, you can buy anything from them. The master collected them for many years, and in the end, he only had these three. Since the master is dead, it’s better to give them to you, Pastor, as a small token of gratitude for saving our lives.”

Indeed.

Inside the box were three train coins.

But Ye Qiyan was even more surprised by a name.

RUN Corporation.

The power that appeared in the Apocalypse Town, was it more than just a simple background?

Could it be that he would see this company again at other stations in the future?

How vast was this power then?

He couldn’t figure it out.

Nor was there more information to support his guesses.

Ye Qiyan returned to the train one last time, threw off his raincoat, and smiled at the piled-up food and some pots and pans.

Thinking too much was useless; it was better to live well.

He stored these items in the storage unit, so he didn’t have to worry about them spoiling from being left for too long.

He set up a barbecue grill in the train, placed a thick, high-grade steak on it, preparing his first proper warm dinner since coming to this world.

It was also during the grilling that Ye Qiyan conveniently placed containers outside to collect rainwater, and then began to organize the special gains from this station so far.

[Purified Bound Object] (Level 3)

[Can be placed anywhere on the train, can repel evil spirits]

[Soft Ruby] (Level 1)

[Expensive, perhaps some entities would buy it with train coins? Can be used to make ruby-colored train paint]

“Would anyone really buy this kind of thing with train coins?”

Ye Qiyan tossed the gem aside, thought for a moment, and sublimated the skull.

[Stamina: 56→ 49] [Spirit: 90→ 50]

Invisible power enveloped the skull.

In an instant, stamina and spirit were consumed.

The object in Ye Qiyan’s hand no longer looked like a skull; instead, it was a perfectly smooth, glowing jade stone.

[Pure Bound Stone] (Level 4)

[Placed anywhere on the train, it allows the train to dispel evil spirits, ignore any evil spirit power below its level, and automatically absorb negative effects applied to the conductor]

The ability after sublimation had undergone a qualitative leap.

While still dispelling evil spirits, the Level 4 Bound Stone also gained the effects of absorbing negative effects and ignoring evil spirits below Level 4.

This meant that before he reached Level 5, encountering supernatural stations should no longer pose any danger.

And most importantly.

Ye Qiyan didn’t feel that the potential of this stone had been exhausted.

It could still be sublimated further.

Stop Countdown [ 00:42:45]

Ye Qiyan, who was enjoying his barbecue feast, heard a sound from the collection station.

Looking over, Wall-E had just crawled out of the hole below.

It was holding a blood-stained gift box in its arms, swaying as it came before Ye Qiyan and handed it over.

[Level 3 Treasure Chest] (Can be opened)

“Good job, Wall-E, I’ll add oil to you later.”

Wall-E didn’t understand any of this; it just silently returned to the collection station to sleep.

“Then, we can leave now.”

With Wall-E returning with the treasure chest, there was no longer any reason to stay at this station.

“Depart.”

[Rights Activated]

The train started.

Slowly accelerating, it passed through the void.

From a pitch-black thundercloud to another thundercloud, Ye Qiyan returned to the endless wilderness.

[All survivors have left Station Four!]

[In-station chat function enabled!]

[Newbie inherent hidden module, [Newbie Protection] disabled]

[Next, monsters will also attack the train during the day]

The broadcast faded.

The chat room instantly became lively.

[“Damn it! Are they not letting people live?! Monsters at night, monsters during the day! Not letting people sleep, are they?! Just say you want me dead, no need to torment me like this!”]

[“Heh, haven’t you figured it out yet? This world just wants to see us die, it never intended to give us a way out.”]

[“Huh? That’s strange, even a Level 2 train should have departed some time ago, right? Why is the broadcast only appearing now?”]

[“Are you trying to say someone reached Level 3? Don’t joke around, haven’t you seen how many materials are needed to reach Level 3? It’s impossible for anyone to gather them, let alone it’s not just an hour. Maybe the broadcast is just broken and spoke late.”]

[“Exactly, it hasn’t been that long, how could anyone have collected so many materials? If they did, I’d eat my hat!”]

[“Tsk, there are monsters during the day now, but I don’t have enough bullets. Big brother who sells guns, come out and say something, do you still have bullets? I’ll trade you bug meat for them! It’s high protein, beef-flavored!”]

[“Eww! Are you Bear Grylls? Why are you eating bugs?”]

There were complainers, and there were debaters.

After four stations, the remaining people had been forced to adapt to the cruelty of this world.

They didn’t feel much anger about what the broadcast said, because they were already too numb to be angry.

The number of deaths after Station Four was slightly less than after Station Three.

[ 3455/10000]

Less than a thousand deaths.

Congratulations?

However, the scroll speed in the chat room was ultimately much slower than at the beginning.

Ye Qiyan didn’t pay attention to these; all his attention was on the box in his hand.

“Sublimate.”

[Stamina: 63→ 33] [Spirit: 70→ 45]
