6: Special resources, acquired!

As the last team of Survivors rushed into the instance,

the Train Crew's live broadcast began.

Broadcast screens appeared in every carriage.

In the footage, various squads were sprinting through the instance.

Lines of bullet chat messages zipped across the broadcast screen.

Beside them, the support rate for each team was displayed.

“Brothers, the betting is open, the betting is open!”

“I'm betting on Gutie Squad; the advantage of a Level 3 Shop is no joke!”

“The leader Zhao Xiao's high-grade armor was destroyed; I think he's in trouble.”

“I'm betting on Carriage No. 796, [Caoliu]. They entered with full armor and equipment; victory is in their hands!”

“I think Carriage No. 242 [Steel Hammer] is also good. Their performance in the last round they won was very impressive; they have potential.”

There were originally no entertainment activities in the Train Survival Game.

Watching the Instance Competition broadcast was naturally the best choice to pass the time.

To increase the fun, the Attendant crew also opened a betting segment that everyone could participate in.

“Hey, why is no one betting on the Black Raven Squad?”

“Yeah, weren't they the first to enter the instance? The first-mover advantage is huge.”

A large wave of opposing voices quickly floated across the bullet chat.

“Give it a rest. They lost five times in a row before. So what if they have a first-mover advantage?”

“Their Shop level was deducted to nothing. They can't even afford food or water. Where would they get the strength to compete with others? They'll be lucky just to stay alive.”

“What are you muttering about? It's more believable that I'm Qin Shi Huang than that he can win.”

The voices supporting the Black Raven Squad were quickly drowned out.

As an Attendant, Dai Yingying could naturally see the broadcast and the bullet chat.

“Tsk... a bunch of brainless fools!”

The comments slandering Wang Feng made her flare up with anger.

How dare they slander my big brother!

Don't let me find out who those commenters are!

Otherwise... I'll track them through the network cable and crush their heads!

The support rates of the other teams soared rapidly.

But Wang Feng's Black Raven Squad didn't have a single supporter.

Dai Yingying's heart burned with anger.

She summoned the Attendant crew's personal terminal.

She bet all her Points on Wang Feng.

Just like the Survivors, the Train Crew also had an independent operating system.

There was a clear hierarchy and administrative order.

For example, although Dai Yingying stood high and mighty before the Survivors,

within the Attendant crew, she was just a Salesperson with no presence and the lowest status.

Survivors needed to exchange resources for Points, and they also had to meet performance targets to earn Points.

When Survivors bought things from them, they also had to pay Points to the Train Crew to buy the supplies they needed for daily life.

For instance, the decorations in Dai Yingying's room had cost her a lot of Points.

The twenty-thousand-plus Points she just bet were her entire savings.

She wouldn't even be heartbroken if she lost it all; she could just earn more!

She just couldn't stand to see her big brother being wronged!

At this moment,

with the injection of Dai Yingying's twenty-thousand-plus Points,

Wang Feng's support rate shot up with a 'whoosh'!

The bullet chat became lively again.

“Oh damn, where did this idiot come from?”

“Betting so many Points on Carriage No. 83? The boss must be confused!”

“There are still too many fools in this world.”

“Wasting all those shiny gold Points like that, what a pity!”

“If you gave me that many Points, I could provide you with a whole set of services!”

“Girl upstairs, private message me later!”

As time passed, the support rates of other teams still surpassed Wang Feng's Black Raven.

The one with the highest support rate was the Caoliu Squad.

Next was Gutie, then Iron Wolf, Steel Hammer, Monster... Before long, the Black Raven Squad's support rate fell back to last place.

Dai Yingying stared intently at Wang Feng's movements, as anxious as a little girlfriend.

Go for it, go for it!

Big Brother Wang Feng!

You must do your best!

...On the other side.

Wang Feng used his first-mover advantage to leave everyone behind.

But in the face of such a huge advantage, he didn't do what the other squads did—scavenging resources from the outskirts and making constant round trips.

Instead, he led the four of them straight toward the heart of the area!

When passing by many resource points, Wang Feng didn't even spare them a glance.

Zhang Qiang and Wang Hao were a bit panicked.

“Boss! Are we really not going to collect resources?”

“I see the other squads have already started farming Points!”

On the leaderboard, the Points of the other squads had already begun to soar.

The fastest was the Caoliu Squad, which had already farmed over 300 Points!

Wang Feng glanced at the leaderboard data and continued to charge forward.

“Don't worry about it.”

“We only need to make one round trip!”

One round trip?!

The other four were filled with shock!

Even Zhang Yuqi couldn't help but furrow her brows.

Although they were loyal to Wang Feng, this matter really defied common sense!

One must know that everyone has a weight limit.

That's why they needed to constantly go back and forth, exchanging items for Points before continuing into the instance.

The Caoliu Squad, relying on modern pack tools, could farm over 300 Points in a single trip.

They only had the most primitive backpacks; the amount they could carry at once was pitifully small!

Because of this, they needed to make even more frequent trips.

Yet Wang Feng said once was enough?!

They completely failed to understand what Wang Feng was thinking.

“Trust him,” Zhang Yuqi said in a deep voice. “Believe that Brother Wang can lead us to win this match!”

At this point, all they could do was trust!

The five-man squad moved rapidly through the ruins, as fast as a gust of wind.

Over ruins, through alleys—even when they encountered resource points, they passed them right by.

The actions of Wang Feng's squad also drew suspicion from the bullet chat.

“What is the Black Raven Squad doing? They're running past so many resource points without even looking?”

“They didn't even scavenge the supermarket. Do they even know how to play?”

“No wonder they lost five times in a row; they're just a bunch of brainless trash.”

“I feel a bit sorry for that boss just now. All those Points are going down the drain~”

Under the silent mockery of the bullet chat, Wang Feng and his group finally arrived at the place in his memory.

In the ruins in the distance, a sneaky-looking zombie was looking around.

It was carrying a huge burlap sack and was completely different from the staggering zombies around it.

Zhang Yuqi leaned in, “Brother Wang, that zombie is a bit different from the others.”

Wang Feng nodded.

“That is our first target!”

“Go, surround and kill it!”

With the command given,

the five of them dispersed, quickly flanking through the ruins.

They silently closed in.

Then, Zhang Qiang was the first to launch an attack!

When the zombie saw Zhang Qiang, it turned and ran at extreme speed!

“Holy crap?! How can this zombie run?!”

“Damn it, get it! Old Wang! It's running toward you!”

Wang Hao rushed out from the ruins, catching it off guard.

But the zombie's reaction speed was too fast; Wang Hao's dagger only grazed the burlap sack.

“Liu Sheng!!! Block it!”

Liu Sheng charged out from a blind spot!

The zombie dodged in a panic, its foot stumbling.

“Bang bang bang—” Rapid gunfire rang out!

Wang Feng raised his pistol and fired a rapid volley!

Bullets poured onto the zombie like raindrops, making it shriek and howl!

But no one expected that,

under heavy injury, the zombie would erupt with unprecedented speed!

It knocked Liu Sheng aside and fled toward the distance like crazy!

Wang Feng pulled the trigger repeatedly, the bullets making the zombie's flesh and blood splatter!

But the lower its health got, the faster it ran!

Wang Feng's aiming became increasingly difficult!

Just then, Zhang Yuqi, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly burst out from a patch of ruins!

She was extremely fast and agile, jumping directly onto the zombie's neck!

Her legs clamped tightly around its neck as she held her dagger in a reverse grip and slammed it into the top of its head!

Pfft—

“Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar—”

The zombie shook violently, trying to throw Zhang Yuqi off!

But Zhang Yuqi's legs were clamped extremely tight!

Finally, under Zhang Yuqi's continuous stabbing and slashing, the zombie slumped to the ground.

From the burlap sack behind it, a large pile of metal junk rolled out with a clatter.

Everyone gathered around, looking at the metal junk in the bag with complex expressions.

After all that effort, this was it?!

At the same time, the bullet chat also boiled over.

“Hahaha! I thought it was some kind of elite mob, but it was just a scavenger!”

“Too funny, this is hilarious! Carriage No. 83 is finished!”

“Spending so much time just to get a little bit of trash, it's impossible for Carriage No. 83 to win now.”

“I wonder how that boss is feeling right now? Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good.”

Wang Feng squatted down with a solemn expression and rummaged through the junk.

Then, he pulled out a green crystal.

The crystal was translucent, reflecting Wang Feng's smiling face.

This was it!

A green crystal core worth 1,000 Points!
