6: Chapter 6 My rules are the rules!

"Su Chen! I want noodles too! I want water too!"

A sharp female voice, filled with an incredibly strong sense of entitlement, suddenly rang out from the back of the carriage.

Everyone followed the sound with their gaze.

They saw Zhao Yuxin, the rich second-generation department beauty, walking over aggressively with her two loyal followers, Li Jiaojiao and Wang Li.

Zhao Yuxin's current appearance could be described as pathetic in the extreme.

Her wavy hair, which was usually meticulously styled, was now a mess like a bird's nest.

The exquisite makeup on her face was also a complete disaster due to the previous fright and cold sweat; her eyeliner had smudged, making her look exactly like a ridiculous panda.

But even so, she still held her proud chin high, trying hard to maintain her dignity as a wealthy young lady.

In her hand, she was incongruously clutching a limited-edition LV bag printed with the classic Monogram pattern.

As Zhao Yuxin and the other two approached, the rich aroma of the braised beef noodles was like a barbed hook, fiercely snagging their stomachs.

"Gurgle..."

Zhao Yuxin's stomach very betrayingly let out a long, loud rumble.

This caused her face to instantly flush red, but the longing in her eyes could not be hidden no matter what.

She stared longingly at the iron pot that was already nearly empty and swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.

Then, she held out the LV bag in her hand, worth over a hundred thousand, and thrust it arrogantly in front of Su Chen.

"Su Chen, I know you have food and water now."

Zhao Yuxin struck a charitable pose and spoke in a condescending tone.

"This bag is a limited edition my dad just brought back from Paris for me last month. You can't even buy it in the country; it's worth a hundred and eighty thousand!"

"I'm using this bag now to trade for the leftover noodles in your pot, and the mineral water in that bitch's hand!"

"When we're rescued by the rescue team and return to the real world, I can even have my dad give you another million in cash as compensation!"

"How about it? This deal is an absolute win for you!"

Zhao Yuxin thought she had thrown out a temptation that no poor loser could refuse.

In her mind, a bottom-feeder like Su Chen, who usually ran himself ragged for a few hundred yuan in photography fees, would surely wag his tail and beg like a dog upon seeing such luxury goods and massive promises.

Li Jiaojiao and Wang Li also chimed in.

"Exactly, Su Chen. Sister Yuxin is the heiress of the Zhao Group; a single word from her can change your destiny forever!"

"Hurry up and bring out the good food to serve our Sister Yuxin. Don't be ungrateful when you're being shown respect!"

The brainless remarks from these three women stunned the girls in the carriage who were currently licking the bottom of their bowls.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed up her glasses and looked at Zhao Yuxin as if she were an idiot, cursing 'moron' in her heart.

In this wasteland world where no one even knows if they can survive, she's using empty checks from the real world to act tough?

Did a zombie eat this woman's brain?

Holding the bowl of steaming noodle soup, Su Chen looked coldly at the three women before him who were acting like jumping clowns.

His gaze was like he was looking at three corpses that were about to start rotting.

"A hundred and eighty thousand yuan LV bag?"

A mocking sneer curled at the corner of Su Chen's mouth.

He didn't even give the expensive bag a direct look, merely spitting out a sentence with extreme contempt.

"I already said it. My rules are the rules."

"Those who don't work shouldn't even think about getting a single sip of noodle soup."

"As for this trash bag of yours..."

Su Chen paused, his gaze instantly becoming incomparably cold.

"On my train, your LV bag is too stiff even to wipe my ass."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire carriage fell into a deathly silence.

The arrogant expression on Zhao Yuxin's face instantly froze.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, as if she had heard some absurd tall tale.

"You... you dare speak to me like that?!"

Zhao Yuxin's voice became sharp and piercing due to extreme anger and humiliation.

"What kind of thing do you think you are! You're just a poor loser who takes stinking photos!"

"What right do you have to refuse me! Do you know who my father is!"

Zhao Yuxin broke down on the spot, stomping her feet frantically, tears welling in her eyes, feeling that the man in front of her was simply an unreasonable lunatic.

How could he not understand how to cherish a beautiful woman at all?

How could he be so heartless and ungrateful toward her, a wealthy young lady?

Looking at Zhao Yuxin's tantrum, Su Chen didn't even bother to acknowledge her.

He turned around, preparing to tell Chu Qingxue to clean up the mess.

However, at the very moment Su Chen turned around.

Li Jiaojiao, who had been standing behind Zhao Yuxin and was so hungry her eyes were turning green, suddenly went mad.

Her gaze was fixed intensely on the piece of Dove chocolate in Lin Momo's hand that had just been bitten.

That was pure energy, calories that could save a life!

Extreme hunger had completely destroyed Li Jiaojiao's reason.

"Give me the food!"

Li Jiaojiao suddenly lunged at the delicate Lin Momo like a rabid dog.

She reached out her hands with sharp manicured nails and clawed fiercely at Lin Momo's exquisite and soft face, attempting to forcibly snatch the chocolate!

"Ah!"

Lin Momo was terrified by the sudden attack, her face turning pale as she let out a scream of horror.

Her petite body instinctively fell backward, and she almost couldn't hold onto the mineral water in her hand.

"Seeking death!"

Just as Li Jiaojiao's claws were about to touch Lin Momo.

An icy roar, laced with terrifying killing intent, boomed through the carriage!

Having received a 5-point Agility feedback from Lin Momo, Su Chen's speed at this moment was simply frighteningly fast!

Everyone only felt a dark red afterimage flash before their eyes.

Su Chen had already appeared before Li Jiaojiao like a ghost.

His gaze was cold to the extreme, without the slightest mercy; his right hand swung up suddenly, carrying a sharp whistling sound as it slapped down fiercely!

Slap—!!!

A deafening, incredibly crisp sound of a slap echoed through the narrow carriage!

Su Chen did not hold back at all with this slap.

His constitution, slightly boosted by his Train Master authority, combined with his recently surged agility.

It made the power of this slap comparable to a heavy iron sledgehammer!

Li Jiaojiao didn't even have time to let out a scream.

Her body, weighing over a hundred pounds, was like a tattered sack, sent flying into the air by this terrifying force!

Thud!

Li Jiaojiao spun a full three hundred and sixty degrees in mid-air before crashing heavily onto a row of hard iron seats.

Pfft—!

A mouthful of blood mixed with two broken teeth sprayed from Li Jiaojiao's mouth, splashing onto the rusty floor.

Half of her face instantly swelled up like a fermented bun, and she slumped on the ground, twitching violently, unable to even utter a complete word.

Total silence!

One could hear a pin drop!

All the girls were stunned by this bloody and violent scene.

No one expected that the usually quiet Su Chen would be so ruthless and merciless when he acted!

Even though the opponent was a delicate girl!

Wang Li trembled all over and slumped directly onto the ground, a foul-smelling yellow liquid actually seeping out from between her legs.

She had been scared into wetting herself!

Zhao Yuxin's face was as white as paper; she covered her mouth, her body shaking like a sieve as she retreated repeatedly, fearing that Su Chen's next slap would land on her face.

Su Chen slowly withdrew his right hand, took out a tissue from his pocket, and wiped the blood off the back of his hand with extreme disgust.

His dark, deep eyes, like those of a bloodthirsty lone wolf, coldly scanned the room.

"I'll say it one last time."

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to carry a terrifyingly icy breath that froze everyone's hearts.

"On my train, my rules are the rules!"

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble here, anyone who dares to snatch supplies from a companion."

"That slap just now will be your fate."

"Next time, I will throw her directly out of the train and let the Ghouls outside teach her what apocalypse etiquette is."

Su Chen's iron-fisted methods completely suppressed this group of girls who had just been harboring some small schemes.

Looking at Su Chen's domineering back, a complex and strange light flashed in Chu Qingxue's beautiful eyes.

This man, although cold and heartless, could provide an unparalleled sense of security in this desperate post-apocalyptic world.

Zhang Man secretly swallowed her saliva, feeling a wave of lingering fear.

Fortunately, she had behaved herself just now; otherwise, if she had provoked this baneful star, ten of her wouldn't be enough for him to beat.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

Lin Momo hid behind Su Chen, looking at this man who had flown into a rage to protect her, her big eyes filled with an unbreakable adoration and infatuation.

[Ding! Detected that crew member Lin Momo's adoration for you has deepened once again!]

[Loyalty is steadily increasing, current loyalty: 85!]

Listening to the notification sound in his mind, the corners of Su Chen's mouth curled up imperceptibly.

"Zhang Man, drag that eyesore of trash to the back, don't let her affect everyone's mood here."

Su Chen casually pointed his finger at Li Jiaojiao, who was still twitching on the ground, and ordered coldly.

"Yes! Train Master!"

Zhang Man, as if waking from a dream, immediately strode forward and, like dragging a dead dog, grabbed Li Jiaojiao's hair extremely roughly and dragged her to the corner at the very back of the carriage.

Zhao Yuxin and Wang Li also scrambled over and huddled in the corner, shivering.

A farce was thus suppressed by Su Chen with extremely tough and violent means.

The remaining thirty-plus girls no longer dared to have any complaints.

They licked the pitifully small amount of noodle soup in their lunchboxes extremely preciously, not willing to waste even a single drop.

Some people even stuck their fingers into the bowl, carefully licking clean every bit of oil clinging to the bowl's walls.

That extremely satisfied yet humble way of eating formed a stark contrast with their usual high-and-mighty school beauty images.

Meanwhile, the three in the corner, Zhao Yuxin and the others, could only watch the others wolfing down their food, eyes wide with envy.

Their stomachs felt like they were being torn by countless small hands, and stomach acid was churning crazily.

Looking at Su Chen's cold back, Zhao Yuxin's eyes flashed with extremely resentful and unwilling light.

She cursed Su Chen viciously in her heart.

"Su Chen! You spineless pervert! Just you wait!"

"This young lady doesn't believe that you're the only capable person in this broken game!"

"Once I meet the circle of rich second-generation heirs I know, or meet a more powerful Train Master!"

"I will definitely make them break all your limbs and make you kneel before me begging for mercy like a dog!"

Zhao Yuxin was fantasizing crazily in her heart, trying to use this Ah Q spirit to alleviate the extreme hunger in her body.

However, reality is often crueler than imagination.

As time passed.

The sun in the sky, emitting an eerie red light, finally sank slowly below the horizon.

Night had fallen.

The dark night of the wasteland world came extremely suddenly and extremely rapidly.

The gray-black blood-colored mist from just a moment ago completely turned into an impenetrable, pitch-black darkness within just a few minutes.

It was as if an extremely huge piece of black cloth had tightly covered the entire world.

At the same time.

The temperature inside the carriage began to drop in a straight line at an extremely exaggerated speed!

Thirty degrees... twenty degrees... ten degrees... zero degrees!

In less than ten minutes, the carriage, which had been relatively warm, instantly turned into an extremely cold ice cellar!

"Hiss... so cold..."

"Why is it suddenly so cold? I feel like my blood is about to freeze..."

The little bit of heat the girls had just consumed was instantly stripped away by this bone-chilling cold.

They were already wearing thin summer clothes and skirts.

Now, stimulated by this sub-zero temperature, everyone began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

Liu Ruyan hugged her shoulders tightly with both hands, trying to retain the last trace of warmth in her body.

But her tight white shirt couldn't provide any protection against the cold.

Instead, because of the squeezing of her arms, it made her extremely hot upper curves even tighter.

Although Chu Qingxue had awakened an ice-type talent and had a slightly higher resistance to cold.

But after all, she had just exhausted her mental power, and at this moment, she could only wrap that thin windbreaker tightly around her body, her beautiful face frozen devoid of any blood color.

As for the three in the corner, Zhao Yuxin and the others, they were frozen with purple lips, their teeth chattering, making crisp "clatter, clatter, clatter" sounds.

The double torture of hunger and cold made them realize what true despair was.

Just when everyone was shivering with cold.

The Heavenly Dao System's cold, mechanical, and even death-tinged notification sound.

Extremely abruptly, rang a shrill red alarm in everyone's minds!

[Warning! Highest level red alert!]

[The first night of the wasteland has fully descended!]

[Extreme cold air currents have covered the entire area, current outdoor temperature: minus 20 degrees!]

[Warning: Night is the carnival of monsters, the special undead creatures in the mist — Mist Wraith, have awakened!]

[They will launch an indiscriminate grudge attack on all moving trains!]

[All Train Masters and passengers, please be sure to protect the train's doors, windows, and iron plating durability!]

[Once the train's durability reaches zero, the carriage will disintegrate, and everyone will have their souls instantly devoured by the Mist Wraith and turn into walking corpses!]

[Survival countdown: 10 hours until dawn!]

After hearing this long series of red alarms, the atmosphere in the carriage instantly dropped to freezing point.

Everyone's heart was tightly gripped by an invisible, terrifying giant hand.

"Mist Wraith? What is that?"

Su Xiaoxiao pushed her glasses in extreme terror, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

Before anyone could answer her question.

The answer had already appeared terrifyingly before their eyes.

"Woo — woo —"

An extremely shrill, eerie wind sound, like countless babies crying in the middle of the night, suddenly swept in from all directions of the train.

This sound seemed to be able to pierce directly through people's eardrums and stab extremely arrogantly into the depths of people's souls.

Making people inexplicably feel a sense of extreme despair and an urge to commit suicide.

Following that.

Outside a dusty window on the left side of the carriage.

Extremely abruptly, a face was pressed against it!

It was an extremely pale, bloodless human face phantom!

Its eyes were two hollow black holes, with no whites and no pupils, only endless abyss.

Its mouth was exaggeratedly stretched to the ear roots, revealing a mouthful of jagged black fangs.

Just like that, through a thin layer of glass, it stared fixedly at the shivering girl in the carriage.

"Ah —!!!"

The girl just happened to turn her head and made eye contact with that terrifying ghost face.

She instantly let out an extremely shrill, terrifying scream that almost pierced the ceiling!

"Ghost! There's a ghost!"

This scream seemed to be the horn blowing for some kind of hell.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The next second.

Outside the dozen or so fragile glass windows on both sides of the train.

Dense, hundreds of pale human face phantoms emerged crazily like bamboo shoots after rain!

They squeezed onto the glass in an extremely twisted manner, emitting hair-raising, shrill wails.

They used their illusory, sharp-nailed ghost claws to crazily scratch and slam against the windows and rusty iron plating!

"Clang — creak —"

An extremely shrill, teeth-aching metallic friction sound echoed in the carriage.

Those originally dilapidated window glasses began to show extremely fine spiderweb-like cracks under the crazy impact of these Mist Wraith.

[Warning! Train right side window No. 3 durability decreased! Current durability: 80/100!]

[Warning! Train left side iron plating under corrosion attack! Current durability: 75/100!]

On Su Chen's retina, rows of red system warnings flashed extremely glaringly.

"Help! The glass is going to break!"

"If they get in, we'll all die!"

The carriage was in complete chaos.

All the girls were scared out of their wits, screaming and crying, running around like headless flies in the narrow carriage.

Someone tried to use their body to hold up the crumbling glass.

But was instantly frozen by the extremely cold, soul-freezing resentment on the glass, shrinking their hands back with a scream.

"Shut up, all of you!"

At this extremely desperate and chaotic moment.

Su Chen's thunderous roar dominated all the screams and ghost wails extremely domineeringly.

He didn't know when he had walked out of the cab, his deep black eyes burning with an extremely crazy and bloodthirsty light.
