85: The Black Raven is under attack, and the prize pool is still accumulating.

When Zhang Yuqi learned about Liu Sheng and Cheng Rui's situation,

it was already evening.

Zhang Yuqi led her people, striding into the Train Infirmary.

Liu Sheng was covered in blood, lying on the bed, barely clinging to life.

Cheng Rui was also groaning incessantly.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiang was furious.

"Damn it! Who did this?"

"I don't know!" Cheng Rui cried, his face twisted. "There were too many of them! Many I didn't even recognize!"

Wang Hao gritted his teeth.

"It must be jealousy!"

"As soon as the Captain went offline, they immediately made a move to ambush us!"

"To put it plainly, they're afraid of us!"

"They're worried we'll get too many Points in the next instance!"

After hearing this,

Zhang Yuqi's face turned pale with anger.

But the problem was, the two of them didn't even know which carriage the attackers belonged to.

They couldn't even find a target for revenge!

Zhang Yuqi asked the doctor nearby,

"When will they both recover?"

The doctor shook his head.

"The treatment time at the Train Infirmary is one week."

"However, the price is quite expensive."

The doctor scribbled a line of numbers on a piece of paper.

Zhang Yuqi's eyes widened when she saw it.

"That expensive?!"

Cheng Rui was slightly cheaper, requiring 15,000 Points to fully recover.

Liu Sheng, however, was a fixed price!

50,000 Points!

Zhang Qiang was about to curse.

However, Zhang Yuqi stopped him.

The other party was an Attendant.

With Wang Feng absent, they absolutely couldn't get into a conflict with an Attendant!

The doctor coldly glanced at Zhang Qiang.

If Zhang Qiang had cursed, the doctor's scalpel would have instantly slit his throat.

And the treatment cost would have doubled!

Fortunately, Zhang Yuqi stopped him.

The doctor shrugged indifferently.

"That's the price."

"Every core member is fed countless Points."

"Their Gene Enhancement values are not low; they must have consumed a lot of Points."

"Compared to losing a core member, spending some Points should be more cost-effective."

Zhang Yuqi's expression was grim.

Zhang Qiang and Wang Hao also clenched their fists helplessly.

Too dark!

That was 65,000 Points!

All their Points combined only amounted to that much!

The most crucial thing was that both of them needed a week of treatment.

Even if they spent the Points, he wouldn't be able to participate in the next instance!

Upon hearing the price, Cheng Rui was on the verge of tears.

"Sister Zhang... don't save me!"

"Just let me fend for myself!"

"The next instance is crucial! Now is when we need Points the most!"

He tremblingly called out his personal terminal and transferred all the Points he had to Zhang Yuqi.

"Sister Zhang, take my Points."

"Please, you must win!"

On the other side, Liu Sheng, still barely breathing, also sent all his Points to Zhang Yuqi.

He couldn't speak, so he wrote a note in text.

"Sister Zhang, you must win!"

"If I die, tell the Captain I wasn't a coward!"

Zhang Yuqi took a deep breath.

She accepted Cheng Rui and Liu Sheng's Points.

Then she turned around and looked at Zhang Qiang and Wang Hao.

"Let's go, back to the carriage."

Although Zhang Qiang and Wang Hao were in pain,

they still followed and left.

However, less than half an hour later, the three returned again.

Liu Sheng and Cheng Rui were stunned.

"Sister Zhang! Why are you back?!"

Zhang Yuqi let out a soft laugh.

Then, she shook the Points card in her hand.

Upon seeing the Points card, both of them were stunned.

That was Wang Feng's Points card!

It contained all the Points of everyone in Carriage No. 83!

"Master once said,"

"If people are preserved, the land can be recovered, and both people and land will be preserved."

"If Master were here, he would also make this choice."

"So—"

Zhang Yuqi handed the Points card to the doctor.

"Heal them."

The doctor took the Points card and glanced at it.

Hoo!

It contained quite a lot of Points!

Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... over 110,000 Points with a good amount of change!

The doctor didn't say much.

After deducting some Points, he started to get busy.

"Alright, alright, you all shouldn't stay here either."

"Come back in a week to pick them up."

Liu Sheng and Cheng Rui were moved to tears, thanking them profusely.

But Zhang Yuqi merely said indifferently,

"The one you should thank is Master."

"Before the last instance began, Master handed the Points card to me."

"Then, he said those words to me."

"Perhaps at that time, Master had already anticipated that after he went offline, someone would definitely try to ambush us."

"These Points are also the emergency fund Master left for us."

The people were saved.

But in the upcoming instance, the Black Raven Squad had lost two main combatants.

To win, they had to constantly grow stronger!

At least until Master returned!

Therefore,

Zhang Yuqi took Zhang Qiang and Wang Hao straight to Shen Aoxue's office.

Enhance, Shop!

...Carriage No. 83 suffered heavy losses.

On the other side,

the atmosphere in the Train Crew also became tense.

"Holy crap! They're fighting! They're fighting!"

"Damn it! They're hitting so hard, they're practically beating people to death!"

People from two carriages were fighting fiercely in the Gym.

If the Guards hadn't appeared, someone would probably have died.

One stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

Soon, people were fighting in the Viewing Area too.

People from several carriages were mixed in a brawl.

They were beating each other bloody.

After two violent incidents, Train Z2425 was in complete chaos.

Everyone was on edge, ready to explode.

Any small conflict would lead to a violent incident.

Even though the Guards had stipulated extremely strict punishments, violent incidents continued to emerge... On the third day,

almost all public areas had become battlefields.

The Dancer Squad also suffered heavy losses.

Many people in their carriage were crippled, and two members were severely injured.

"These people are truly insane!"

"Everyone, pay attention! No one is allowed to leave the carriage before the next instance!"

Panic spread rapidly like a plague.

Even outside Shen Aoxue's office, many people would fight on sight.

Punishing with Points was no longer enough to stop these people.

Even if someone was beaten to death by a Guard, the riot continued to spread.

"Anyway, we're low-level, so we can't enter the New Rail!"

"At worst, we'll all die together!"

"Hahaha! Come on! Who else dares to come out? I'll kill anyone who does!"

Liu Mei's Nine-Tailed Fox Squad also didn't dare to go out.

There was no choice.

It was simply too chaotic!

"Damn it! All public areas are like ticking time bombs!"

"The Attendants don't know what they're doing either!"

"So annoying! So annoying!"

"Wuwuwu... Big Brother Wang Feng... where are you..."

"Mei'er misses you so much..."

...On the fourth day,

some people were already indiscriminately killing with weapons in public areas.

Since Carriage No. 83 had already closed its doors,

the entire Crew Group no longer maintained order, but instead used the increasingly severe unrest to frantically plunder Points!

Beating people? Allowed!

As long as you pay Points!

Killing people? Also allowed!

As long as you have Points!

Thus,

players harmed each other.

The Crew Group took this opportunity to make a fortune.

Cai Yonghuai, the instigator, laughed heartily.

"Excellent! It's chaotic! It's chaotic!"

"This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

"Let blood flow like rivers!"

Soon, the day of the instance arrived... Guard Department office.

Qiu Churou gently tidied Wang Feng's collar.

He was wearing the combat suit Zhang Yuqi gifted him, with a shield on his arm and two daggers at his waist.

A cloak that could conceal his appearance was draped over his shoulders.

"Master."

"This instance, the players' mission is still to rescue NPCs."

"And you will appear as an NPC in the instance."

"In this instance, players can recruit NPCs to board the train."

"You will be one of them."

"Oh, right, besides that."

Qiu Churou displayed the instance information to Wang Feng.

Then, she specifically highlighted the special item above.

An NPC worth 1000 Points.

[Valkyrie]

Wang Feng: ???

Valkyrie?

Kiana? Raiden Mei?

Is there a Honkai Impact here too?

Or like those from Norse Mythology, who ride Pegasi and conquer everywhere in Valhalla?

However, Qiu Churou quickly provided an explanation.

"This instance allows recruiting NPCs."

"And this character, once successfully rescued, will become a player of that carriage."

"The train is about to switch tracks; perhaps this NPC can give you a sufficient head start."

The system wanted Wang Feng to 'conquer' the Attendants.

The information advantage and Shop privileges gained from the 'conquered' Attendants were the real benefits behind the system.

Now, with the track switch imminent,

Qiu Churou provided Wang Feng with crucial intelligence.

Wang Feng smiled faintly.

"Thank you for the information."

"Also, have you found anything regarding what I asked you to investigate earlier?"

Qiu Churou hummed in affirmation.

"I have investigated the people who previously assaulted Liu Sheng and Cheng Rui."

"They belong to Carriage No. 689, Carriage No. 498, Carriage No. 184, and Carriage No. 953 respectively."

"Their Shop levels are all between six and seven."

"Their weapons and equipment are also very strong."

"Master, please be careful."

Wang Feng stretched his shoulders.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"Speaking of which, do you have enough performance metrics in your hand?"

Qiu Churou narrowed her eyes.

She hugged Wang Feng tightly, her right leg raised high, and her left tiptoe lifted.

"Is Master worried about me?"

"I'm very happy."

"Mwah~"

After a light kiss,

Qiu Churou released Wang Feng, sat on the office desk, and crossed her long legs after circling them once.

The fiery red beneath her black stockings was clearly visible.

"Don't worry, my performance metrics are sufficient."

"Even with the track switch, I am confident I can continue to stay by your side."

Wang Feng nodded.

"I wish you a smooth journey."

With Qiu Churou's blessing, Wang Feng strode through the thick fog of the Lounge.
