4: Everything is ready, let's go into the dungeon!

Whoosh—

The carriage was dead silent.

People looked at each other, no one moved.

They were clearly still hesitating.

Wang Feng was not in a hurry. He took out a bento box and began to eat in front of everyone.

The aroma of the food instantly filled the carriage, and Wang Feng's chewing sounds stirred everyone's hearts.

They watched Wang Feng feast, their eyes gradually turning frenzied.

Finally, one of them could no longer control himself and knocked down the person next to him with a punch!

After that punch, the entire Carriage No. 83 completely erupted!

Men, women, old and young, all tore at each other!

“Die for me!!!”

“Damn it! I want meat! I want food!!!”

“Water! Water! Water!”

These people had long gone mad with hunger and thirst!

As long as they could have a mouthful of food and a sip of water, they would even kill!

Wang Feng continuously shoveled rice into his mouth with chopsticks, coldly watching the chaotic carriage.

Wails and curses rose and fell, and bloodied people could be seen everywhere.

It was like hell.

But only those who crawled out of the hell of blood and bone could survive in the future's desperate situations!

It was cruel, but that was the truth!

The riot lasted for an hour.

In the end, only four people stood in the carriage.

Three men and one woman.

Although the three men were sallow and emaciated, Wang Feng could tell that they had once been very strong.

As for the woman, she held a strand of blood-soaked fishing line in her hand.

Clap—clap—clap—

Wang Feng stood up and applauded, then pushed the bento box and mineral water forward.

“These things are yours.”

The four of them looked at each other, then rushed forward all at once.

They savagely tore open the packaging, feasted, and drank water heartily, completely disregarding their image.

The woman even grabbed the food directly with her hands, her mouth full of grease.

The grease spreading in their mouths, and the clear mineral water, brought tears to their eyes.

They ate and cried, cried and ate, as if venting something.

And Wang Feng just watched quietly.

An hour later.

The four had eaten and drunk their fill, and their emotions had stabilized.

With clear minds, they all had the same question.

Where did Wang Feng get these foods, and why did he share them?

Wang Feng walked up to them and answered the question.

“In three days, our carriage will participate in an Instance Competition.”

“I, along with you four, will form a team to participate.”

Upon hearing about the Instance Competition, bitter expressions appeared on the faces of the four.

“Brother... our carriage has lost five consecutive matches, there’s no chance to turn the tide.”

“That’s right, other carriages have already accumulated so many advantages, we can’t win.”

Wang Feng pointed to the bento boxes and water bottles on the ground.

“Do you know how many Points these things you just ate are worth?”

The four looked down, unable to count the mess on the ground.

But one thing they could be sure of.

Calculated at the current prices in Carriage No. 83, the value of these items would be an astronomical figure.

“You need to understand one thing.”

“Since I can produce these things, I have a way to lead you to victory!”

“Food, water, beer, drinks, a clean carriage environment, warm bathwater, and soft, comfortable beds.”

“As long as you work with me, I can give you these things.”

With every word Wang Feng spoke, they swallowed their saliva.

These were things they dreamed of having.

The past month had been like living in hell!

“Can we... really win?”

Wang Feng's tone was firm, his eyes serious, “Of course we can.”

“Those foods and water are proof of my ability.”

Wang Feng took out a large bag of pre-purchased mineral water from his personal terminal.

“Use this water to wash your faces clean.”

“Remember, once you follow me, you are no longer like them.”

Wang Feng pointed to the defeated ones in the blood.

The four looked at the mineral water in front of them, then at the crying, huddled people.

A great sense of happiness surged from the bottom of their hearts.

Mineral water worth an astronomical sum was casually taken out by Wang Feng, and only for them to wash their faces!

They didn't know how Wang Feng did it.

But they understood.

Following him, they would never go hungry again!

At this moment, Wang Feng not only gave them hope to live but also allowed them to regain their dignity as human beings!

In ancient times.

During times of war and chaos.

A steamed bun and a bowl of porridge could win the loyalty of a soldier.

At this moment, Wang Feng used these bento boxes and mineral water to gain four loyal teammates.

They no longer hesitated, kneeling neatly on the ground.

They bowed their heads, dedicating everything they had to Wang Feng.

“Tell me your names.”

“Zhang Qiang!” “Wang Hao!” “Liu Sheng!” “Zhang Yuqi!”

From then on, the Instance Competition team was officially established... For the next three days.

Wang Feng ensured that his four teammates had plenty to eat and drink.

Nourished by food and water, they were full of spirit and energy.

Meanwhile, the defeated could only huddle in corners, watching helplessly.

Of course, Wang Feng wouldn't let them starve to death.

He would throw them the dirty water used for washing faces and the leftover scraps.

Even for such meager offerings, they were still grateful.

They scrambled to snatch them.

There was no other way.

They wanted to live.

At the same time.

Led by Zhang Yuqi, the four of them, including Zhang Qiang, cleaned up a corner of the carriage.

It formed a stark contrast with the surrounding filth.

Then they placed an old wooden box for Wang Feng to sit on.

From now on, this would be Wang Feng's place.

With them, Wang Feng naturally took control of Carriage No. 83.

Time, in the tense preparations, flowed by minute by minute.

Soon, the day of the Instance Competition arrived.

Zhang Yuqi and the other three stood in a row, heads held high, looking refreshed.

Each had a sharp tactical dagger strapped to their leg.

This was the best weapon they could buy at the moment.

The instance was about to begin, and Wang Feng was also explaining the details to everyone.

“This instance is the Zombie Wastes.”

“So while collecting resources, we also need to pay attention to the surrounding zombies.”

“Once it starts, abandon the periphery and head straight to the core area with me.”

“There are high-value targets there.”

After briefly organizing the information, Wang Feng continued to add, “Among our opponents this time, Carriage No. 445, Ancient Iron, and Carriage No. 796, Caoliu, are tough opponents.”

“They have won three matches, already have a Level 3 Shop, and their weapons and equipment are stronger than ours, so it's best to avoid their sharpness.”

“Carriage No. 175, Iron Wolf, and Carriage No. 242, Steel Hammer, are similar in strength to us; if we encounter them, we can fight.”

“As for people from other carriages, kill anyone who dares to block our way.”

After hearing Wang Feng's briefing, the four were all shocked.

One must know that intelligence such as information on competitors and instance data could only be known when the instance opened.

And knowing the intelligence in advance meant a first-mover advantage at the start.

It was like a league match; if information about a lane swap was caught, it would inevitably lead to a long period of passivity.

The instance hadn't even started, yet he was able to get such important intelligence!

Wang Feng must be hiding some kind of ability.

With this thought, the four's loyalty to Wang Feng became even firmer.

Just then, the broadcast on the ceiling of the carriage sounded.

“Next stop, Ruined City - Jiangcheng has arrived.”

“Participating Survivors, please disembark as soon as possible!”

Wang Feng took a deep breath and touched the pistol Dai Yingying had given him, which was strapped to his waist.

A line of text appeared.

【Beretta 92F Pistol (Attendant Exclusive)】

【Description: Black matte blued finish, smooth and rounded lines, exuding a simple industrial feel.】

【Ammunition Capacity: Infinite】

【Level: Lv-1 (Upgradeable)】

【Lethality: Standard 9mm ammunition, reliable but stopping power is average, limited effect on armored targets.】

As expected of a weapon given by an Attendant!

In the train store, firearms themselves were already expensive, and after purchasing them, one had to spend Points to buy bullets.

So it was common for the Points spent on ammunition to be higher than the price of the firearm itself.

And what Dai Yingying gave him was a pistol with infinite bullets.

His teammates were the strongest he could find in Carriage No. 83.

The instance, resource points, and map were all under his control.

The weapon, an infinite-bullet Beretta 92F Pistol, could be fired at will.

Most importantly, the referee for this instance was Dai Yingying!

Everything was ready.

All that was left was to do it!

“Let’s go!”

“Enter the instance!”
