Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 45: Leaving Crimson Rain City

[As soon as you achieved Semi-Awakening and became a True Fairy, you no longer lingered in the station world and immediately returned to your train.]

[Fortunately, you arrived in time before the dwell time ran out.]

[While you were inside the train, the dwell time ran out and the train began to move.]

[Unlike when the train stops at a station, there weren’t any system notifications when it departed.]

[The surroundings that could be seen from the train window began to darken as it turned pitch black.]

[It looked like it entered a spatial tunnel before the surroundings brightened again, and the train was running on an endless, barren wasteland again.]

[Seeing you return successfully, Jade noticed your fairy wings and fairy crown, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "With both of us achieving Semi-Awakening, we’re pretty much invincible, especially in weaker stations."]

[Jade was glad that you returned in time. Otherwise, if you didn’t, she had planned to open the train door and pull you to her side by dividing the distance between you.]

["By the way, darling, I’ve checked the regional chat group. There are only 88,932 left, so more than ten thousand have already died."]

["While I knew that the Train Survival World would be dangerous, I didn’t expect that ten thousand died in just the first mandatory station stop."]

[Hearing Jade’s information, you replied, "Each train has two occupants. So while there are 100,000 people in a region, there’s only 50,000 trains."]

["In other words, only around five thousand trains had encountered a dangerous station world. And they all were wiped out alongside their duo."]

[But after remembering something, you added, "Of course, it can’t be ruled out that one of them went to explore and died, then the other lived due to staying in the train."]

["There’s also the possibility of a train conductor killing their duo. Weirdly enough, the World Will doesn’t restrict duos killing each other, so it’s not unusual for total strangers to not trust each other and fight."]

[Although the World Will had matched Train Conductor Duos based on familiarity and then opposite gender, there are still people who had no connections or relationships.]

[Moreover, even enemies might be matched with each other due to familiarity, since being enemies was still more familiar than being total strangers.]

[You didn’t know why the World Will did that kind of matchmaking, but you didn’t care much, as it benefited you, allowing you to be with Jade.]

[While you and Jade stayed on the train, Jade realized that there weren’t any phones or internet, so the means of entertainment had become almost nonexistent.]

[In your case, it didn’t bother you as you had spent a year in the Global Ocean Survival World by yourself on your ship.]

[But for Jade, it was her first day without having her phone, so she still felt uncomfortable.]

[Noticing her discomfort, you waved your hand and released some of the treasure chests discovered by your avatars.]

["If you’re that bored, I’ll let you open these treasure chests. I haven’t used my talent on some of these, so I also don’t know what they contain."]

[Hearing your words, Jade’s eyes lit up with excitement.]

[She immediately hugged you and kissed your cheek, "Muah! You’re the best, darling~!]

[You smirked and hugged her back.]

[After you both embraced, Jade started opening the treasure chests.]

[There were 263 Wooden Chests, 128 Iron Chests, 47 Bronze Chests, and 2 Silver Chests.]

[Those 2 silver chests were hidden in Crimson Rain City, specifically those dangerous locations near Bloodsucker Nobles.]

[Aside from the danger of Bloodsuckers near the chests, what made naturally-generated chests more difficult to find was that they were hidden well.]

[Most of the wooden chests and iron chests were obtained from killing Bloodsuckers since there was a probability of obtaining them from killing mobs.]

[However, Bronze Chests were from either killing powerful Bloodsucker Elites and Bloodsucker Nobles, or from finding them hidden in the station world.]

[’I have to admit, choosing Absolute Compass as my simulation reward truly benefited me a lot. It always came in handy, and if not for it, I wouldn’t have found those Silver Chests and Bronze Chests.’]

[While you had that thought, you noticed Jade started opening the wooden chests.]

[There wasn’t much to say about the wooden chests, as they mostly contained common resources and supplies. Some of them were even bottled water and bread, which was likely an improved drop rate due to it being the newbie period for Train Conductors.]

[The Iron Chests didn’t yield many notable items as well. The materials acquired from iron chests were mostly uncommon materials.]

[Jade didn’t open all of the wooden chests and iron chests since you haven’t really placed all of them inside the train. There were far too many treasure chests and so little space.]

[However, before opening the Bronze Chests, Jade took one of the silver chests and passed one of them to you.]

["Darling, how about we open the silver chests first? You can open one, and I’ll open the other."]

["I want to know if there’s any difference between the silver chest rewarded by the World Will and the one obtained by Train Conductors in the station world."]

[You didn’t refuse and accepted the silver chest, while speaking, "Actually, I’ve already used my talent to check the contents of the silver chests and I can definitely say the one given by the World Will yields better items."]

[You might not have checked all of the items from other chests, like those wooden, iron, and bronze ones, but it’s impossible not to be tempted to check the two silver chests.]

[Jade looked at her silver chest and pouted, "You checked them beforehand? That’s no fun."]

["This world doesn’t have much entertainment, and opening treasure chests is like those gacha draws. So if I were you, I’d not want to check it."]

[You shrugged and immediately opened your silver chest.]

[-Ding!]

[You have opened a Silver Chest and received the following items: Train Carriage Modification Blueprint: Apartment x1, Silver-grade Bloodthirsty Quiver x1, Light Alloy Plate x20, Magnetic Bearing x15, Advanced Circuit Board x10, Medium Energy Core x1}
