Chapter 336 - 336 334 Boat Tickets at the End of the World

Chapter 336: Chapter 334: “Boat Tickets” at the End of the World. _1 Chapter 336: Chapter 334: “Boat Tickets” at the End of the World. _1 “Infinite Train?”

Colin’s expression was odd, and for a moment, he wasn’t sure what to make of it. After all, there were quite a few anomalies related to trains.

He picked up a document from the table and looked it over.

“Also known as ‘Death Herald Train,’ ‘Mist Train,’ ‘Strange Train,’ its characteristics are that it is currently observed only in areas where anomalies have manifested…”

“When it appears, grey fog will materialize around it, followed by an abnormal ‘fast-forward’ in time. Moreover, some researchers believe it is not a speeding up of time but rather a reduction of ‘processes.'”

“To this day, no one of any power has ever seen its locomotive or its caboose. People will hear a whistle sound typical of last-century trains, followed by the observation of a yellow light, and then the train gradually coming to a stop…”

“In an accidental experiment, a member who entered tried to find the locomotive, but after walking through over a hundred carriages, they finally gave up. At present, it is believed that the number of carriages of this train could be infinite…”

“So far, no means have succeeded in reaching the locomotive…”

…

“So it really is an ‘Infinite Train’…”

Colin, who had read halfway, was sure it was the one he was familiar with, and he realized that the official understanding of this train seemed rather extensive.

Unfortunately, it was all rather superficial research.

They knew some taboos, but not why they were taboos.

On the whole, it seemed to be a bit more than he knew, but not by much.

After quickly finishing the briefing on the “Infinite Train,” Colin casually placed it on the desk.

“I do have some understanding of this anomaly, so, what exactly do you want to know?” he asked, crossing his right leg over his left and tipping his toes up, leaning back in his chair.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qinghu hardly hesitated before asking directly:

“I heard that you seem to have a way to control the train’s arrival and then use it to go wherever you want?”

In the information they had obtained, Qin Chuan and Colin had ultimately escaped using the train in the last incident…

And from the current intelligence, it seemed that members of the Bonfire Company had, more or less, all come into contact with that Strange Train.

This was enough to indicate that the Bonfire Company had the capability to use that train.

‘Control the train’s coming? Are you perhaps overestimating me…’ Colin pursed his lips. He did know that “Lady Bunny” probably had a certain authority to mobilize that train, but he had never heard of a regular employee having this ability.

Everyone got on the train as part of a mission and then disembarked as required by the mission.

Beyond that, he hadn’t heard of any employee who could actively adjust their landing spot…

After some thought, Colin spoke up, “If you think I can control the train, you’re probably going to be disappointed. I’m like the other employees; I can only use the train passively as dictated by missions.”

Hearing this, Tang Qinghu and the others frowned. Clearly, this was not the answer they had been hoping for.

At that moment, they heard Colin continue to ask:

“I may not have the means to control the train, but I am curious, where do you want to go through it?”

If you don’t have it, then why bother asking… Tang Qinghu couldn’t help but complain internally. He felt that Colin did have a way but was too selfish and self-centered, lacking the spirit of sacrifice to share the information.

That’s also why he had tried to use some minor tactics before, so as to lead the conversation into his own rhythm…

Of course, this was also his usual style of conversation—first intimidate, then soften the tone a bit during the dialogue, before “delegating a major task,” often yielding good results.

Unfortunately, Colin’s methods were far more mysterious than the intelligence he had received…

Even now, Tang Qinghu couldn’t understand how he had been taken down in an instant by Colin.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he continued:

“Through this train, we’ve discovered several unique extraterrestrial regions. If something were to happen, we might be able to carry out a mass evacuation.”

“No, given this train’s properties, if it could truly be used, it would certainly save countless lives.”

As he spoke, he looked towards Colin, and a sincere expression appeared on his face, lined with many horizontal folds: “If you can do it, you will surely be granted…”

“Stop, stop, stop, don’t start with that.”

Colin raised his hand to interrupt the other person, “I can’t do what you’re asking, but if I get a chance, I’ll look into it.”

“Of course, of course, I believe that with your character, you would certainly do so…”

Tang Qinghu’s rigid face cracked into a smile, then as if he remembered something, he said, “Of course, apart from this way, we have some other preparations. Rest assured, whether things succeed or not, you and a portion of the people you choose will be able to board it.”

While speaking, he handed over a black and gold card.

“What’s this?”

Colin’s gaze fell, and he didn’t take it.

“This is a highest-level ‘ship ticket.’ As long as you enter your or your friend’s information, in the event of an emergency, their safety and evacuation will be assured in no time, with someone specially assigned to escort them…”

“It’s also simple to use. You can start entering information on any smartphone with NFC capability…”

“Heh, we are currently recording the first batch of staff. Only after us will it be others’ turn. Just one of these spots is sought after to no end outside, but this card allows for many more registrations!”

Tang Qinghu briefly introduced the card’s function with a smile in his eyes.

“Ship ticket”…

Colin still didn’t take it, but the thought led him to consider more, suspecting that the situation inside might not be as calm as he thought.

“To be honest, rather than calling it the ‘Spark’ plan, I prefer the ‘Expedition’ plan. Like the explorers of the seas from centuries ago, we will venture into unknown territories that humanity has never reached before.”

“We will blaze new trails for humanity, reaching boundaries that our current civilization has not touched…”

“…”

Listening to Tang Qinghu’s words, Colin showed no reaction, while Hu Zheng and others beside him couldn’t help but curl their lips.

They had no objections to the “Spark” plan, but this level of self-aggrandizement and self-congratulation was a bit irksome.

However, seeing that Tang Qinghu seemed quite carried away by his own rhetoric, Colin didn’t hesitate to interrupt, “Okay, ‘Spark’ or ‘Expedition,’ it doesn’t particularly interest me right now…”

“If there’s nothing else besides this, then let’s end our discussion here.”

He had already visited several “Other Worlds,” and could only say that the world out there might not be as wonderful as the other party thought. Even if you went, if you were lucky, you might just barely survive.

“Alright then, sorry for the intrusion…”

A stiff smile appeared on Tang Qinghu’s face as he stood up, about to leave, but then he seemed to think of something and added:

“Oh, there’s one more thing. Our plan also needs more talent, and you, believe me, we are very sincere about recruiting someone like you. Perhaps when you want to know more, I could introduce you to Mr. Gao…”

Even though their current knowledge of Colin’s specific circumstances within the company was still unclear due to Old Master Wu’s interference.

They could clearly sense that this person seemed to have some other identity within the company, so if the opportunity arose, they would definitely want to try to recruit him.

Despite a small conflict between them earlier, that was not a major issue.

If they succeeded in recruiting him, that would be a great accomplishment!

But before Tang Qinghu could finish, Hu Zheng on the side suddenly coughed twice—

It’s one thing to talk about all those other matters, but openly poaching right in front of someone is a bit too much!
