Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 862 Sea World

Chapter 862: Chapter 862 Sea World

The meditating gamer paused, "Is this dessert on the menu?"

The first day’s menu provided by the attendant featured a special selection, aside from the five thousand meal set, other choices were basic fare with not many options.

Yesterday’s menu was standard, but also didn’t include pudding.

No need to ask further, Xu Huo was certain something might truly be amiss with the train.

At this moment, a bronze-skinned man emerged from the forward carriage, standing behind the meditating gamer, "Brother Sha, is this guy your friend?"

The meditating gamer "Brother Sha" nodded at Xu Huo then returned to his carriage and closed the door.

Xu Huo went back to carriage six.

The atmosphere inside was tense, the female gamer stood at the front door, facing the others inside, while the burly gamer had already retreated to where Xiao Xianglin and Xu Jinfeng were. The gamer with a severed finger and You Si, the one trying to quit smoking and drinking, hadn’t moved, and the rest had gathered together, their spot on the other side of the rear door.

"Brother Yu, come quick!" Xiao Xianglin hurriedly waved Xu Huo over.

Xu Huo skirted around the female gamer and walked over, "What happened?"

Xiao Xianglin hastily explained that while he had been away, Xu Jinfeng and the female gamer almost came to blows. Xu Jinfeng insisted the one who committed murder and caused his hallucination was the female gamer, so he planned to go to an empty forward carriage, but the female gamer wouldn’t let him leave.

Xu Huo glanced over, to be exact, it seemed she wouldn’t allow anyone to leave.

Even if the train was caught in some sort of magnetic field, it was possible that the beheader might be one of them.

"If you say I am the murderer, then letting you leave just like that would mean I’ve suffered wrongful accusations for nothing," said the female gamer. "Anyway, we’re getting off tomorrow. No one leaves today; let’s all survive smoothly until then, and the truth will come to light."

It was clear she wasn’t really concerned about "wrongful accusations" at all; it was just a convenient excuse.

That’s precisely why the other gamers had slightly adjusted their positions.

The instance was about to start, and it would be best to not expend any energy or props on the train if possible.

During the standoff, You Si stood up and walked towards the front door.

The female gamer did as she said, standing in front of the door, a light blue barrier covered her and the entire front door.

You Si kept walking, but as he approached the barrier, his hand quickly lifted, and the barrier ruptured like a bubble, while his own speed surged, instantly closing in on the female gamer.

He advanced, but the female gamer reflexively moved back, tapping on the door, and the metallic door melted to form a dozen sharp spikes on the surface, creating a barricade.

"Crack, crack, crack!" But then came a consecutive sound of breaking, the metal spikes were cut from the middle, leaving a gap just big enough for a person to pass through.

You Si didn’t even look at the female gamer, heading straight to the washroom.

Having failed to "close the door" the first time, the female gamer’s expression turned completely cold, no longer the casual and nonchalant attitude of yesterday. She turned her head to look at Xu Huo and the others.

"A persimmon should be picked softly," commented the gamer with the severed finger, arms crossed on the table, his left hand naturally covering his right.

The female gamer sneered and simply sat down in the first row.

Not long after, You Si returned, holding a cigarette and asking as he entered, "It’s almost lights out time. If you need to use the washroom, go now."

Xiao Xianglin and the others didn’t bother going to the front, opting for the one in the rear instead.

Today, Xu Huo didn’t plan on staying in this carriage for the night. He waited until the time was right and then walked forward.

As he passed the female gamer, there was a slight movement in her hand, and he turned his head slightly, looking at her.

Eyes met, and the female gamer’s movement involuntarily paused. In less than a second, Xu Huo had stepped out of the carriage and gently closed the door behind him.

The door to the fifth carriage wasn’t tightly shut. After entering, he quickly rearranged the tables, chairs, and corpse then set up the "Emergency Shelter No. 101" in the carriage.

Whether it was other gamers or some other situation, as long as they couldn’t destroy this prop, he should be able to have a peaceful night.

He locked the door, cleaned up a bit, and then lay down to rest.

In a semi-conscious state, he seemed to see someone standing beside him and instinctively reached for his Sword and sat up, but the shadow beside him vanished, not seeming to be an intent to disturb his sleep but more like a trigger inviting action.

If he had reacted more violently the night before last, there might have also been a fight inside the carriage.

Xu Huo took out a container and drew some blood from himself, noticing fine strands of King Fungus Mycelium within the wound, in good condition.

He ran a quick test with his blood and the result showed no issues with his blood.

This was good news for him.

He played some music to help him sleep, Xu Huo closed his eyes and lay in bed. He seemed to hear noises outside, but nothing reached the vicinity of 101.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Xu Huo packed up the prop and stepped out, noticing two more people in the carriage—a wounded female gamer and Brother Sha from the front carriage.

"Morning," Xu Huo greeted them.

The female gamer’s mouth twitched with a hint of sarcasm, but she remained silent.

Brother Sha, however, let out a sigh.

Seeing his clothes were covered in blood, Xu Huo guessed that the fourth carriage must have seen fierce battles last night. He turned back to look at the widely-opened sixth carriage, where only the raincoat man, You Si, the gamer with severed fingers, and Xiao Xianglin survived.

"Ding-dong!"

"Attention, dear players, we will shortly arrive at Sea World. Please prepare to disembark."

The train did not stop at a station. The scenery changed, and Xu Huo found himself standing on a sightseeing tour bus that was traveling above the azure sea, its wheels on the only pathway through the sea. At the end of the lane, barely discernible where the sky met the sea, loomed a vast white city.

At that moment, the game announcement came:

[Player Passerby A has entered Sea World, automatically participating in the Level D Copy "Eternal Friendship."]

[This instance is the only one at the Sea World station, set apart from the mainland. Please, players, take note.]

[Background introduction: Sea World is a city on an island, isolated in the ocean, giving it unique developmental advantages. With inexhaustible marine resources, it has become an economically advanced and highly integrated city. Not only does it attract capital from other sectors, but it also draws gamers and Evolvers from various districts. As of today, the majority of the city’s populace consists of newcomers.]

[Due to the complexity of the settled population, Sea World has become a city of absolute inclusiveness. It welcomes any outsiders to visit and settle, uncaring about your past or whether you are physically unattractive. Once here, as one of their brethren, you are entitled to their friendship.]

[However, the residents of Sea World believe that true friendship must withstand trials. Thus, they have crafted a special program specifically for guests who intend to reside here.]
