System: My Doomsday Train

Chapter 157: "Was that guy mocking me just now?_2


At the bustling wedding venue.

A few thugs from the "Only Love One" train crouched in a corner, looking at the wedding scene with complex expressions.

"Being both 6th level trains, isn't there quite a big difference?"

One thug squatted on the ground, looking at the two mechas patrolling nearby, his eyes full of envy: "Hey, why doesn't our train have such things as mechas? Can a 6th level train really make mechas?"

"I don't know either." The thug squatting next to him shook his head slightly before speaking softly: "I suspect it consumes a lot of resources. Look at those Doomsday Cannons; our train has only five, but this train has ten, and the paint finish on this train's Doomsday Cannons seems more solid, their grade must be higher than ours."

"And those missiles and rocket launchers, they're quite terrifying."

"No wonder the slaves on this train are quite happy. If I could stay on such a powerful train during the doomsday, I'd be happy too. Surviving in such times surely brings joy."

Just then—

Biaozi, bringing along two team members, walked over, spreading a few cigarettes before greeting: "Have you all eaten yet?"

"Uh..."

The thug who had been squatting quickly stood up, somewhat awkwardly saying: "Uh... we are still waiting for the meal to start..."

Although they were all thugs from the 6th level train, somehow he felt inferior to the others, because when the train's strength gap is too wide, even with the same position, it might feel a bit restrained.

"This knife looks good."

Biaozi looked at the knife in the man's arms, chuckling: "Looks pretty handy for slicing meat and cutting vegetables."

"Alright, I'm going back to patrolling. If you need anything, come find me; I'll try to satisfy any request."

"..."

The man looked at Biaozi's departing figure, then looked down at the knife in his arms. After a moment, he turned to his companion and mumbled: "Did this guy just mock me?"

"Seems like it..."

...

Meanwhile, inside the Constant Star carriage.

A female teacher in the classroom glanced at the clock on the wall, then smiled at the children seated below: "That concludes today's lesson, everyone prepare for Mountain Cat and Mei Jia's wedding."

"Today we finished the lesson about how the Train Captain successfully upgraded the train to level 2, ensuring everyone's safety."

"Tomorrow we'll talk about how the Train Captain instantaneously defeated the level 3 monster boss Cannibal Spider using a level 2 train!"

As her words dropped.

The class burst into chatter.

A girl couldn't help but raise her hand and ask: "Teacher Qiu, didn't you say today that after doomsday, the world became severely hierarchical, and level 2 attacks can't possibly break level 3 defenses? How did the Train Captain do it?"

"Well..."

The teacher paused with a smile and then teased: "I'll tell you tomorrow!"

"Alright, everyone tidy up, those chosen as flower children wait for me in the dorm, we'll enter together later."

Despite their eagerness to know the follow-up, all the children obediently stood up and left the classroom, heading toward their dorms to change into new clothes for the wedding.

None of them were naughty like typical children.

The children here.

Almost all have witnessed the tragic death of their family members firsthand. Among all ways to mature, this is the most uncomfortable, yet the quickest.

"Teacher Qiu."

One child stayed behind, taking a deep breath before speaking with slightly reddened eyes: "Didn't you say today that our future paths will split into three directions: managerial, combative, and professional."

"Can I be combat-oriented?"

"I... want to kill more monsters to avenge my father."

"It's too early to talk about this now." Teacher Qiu looked at the child, who was as tall as she, only eleven or twelve years old, growing fast. She gently patted his head with a smile: "You guys are still young. You need to graduate smoothly before going to your suitable posts."

"And you don't have to be a combat talent to slay monsters for your father's revenge."

"Everyone on the train contributes, like those uncles who mine; every mine they dig turns into bullets shot at monsters, which counts as revenge."

"But... I currently don't contribute to the train at all, I... feel a bit useless."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the woman softly said: "Go and attend the wedding with the others; the train is nurturing you now so that you can give back later. You can't repay the Train Captain yet, study hard for now to better repay the train in the future."

"Go ahead."

Watching the boy's retreating figure, the woman lowered her head to pack the seventy-page textbook.

Written manually by the Pig Train Captain, it detailed crises the train encountered and choices made by Master Mang in desperate situations to bring the train back to life.

The handwriting was very neat.

She directly coordinated with the Pig Train Captain, enjoying the first-level resident treatment.

Before doomsday, she had a husband and a child of her own, but after doomsday hit, she lost everything; her husband and child were gone, she wandered in a daze for a long time, not knowing how she survived.

Moments later.

She shook her head, hugged the textbook, and headed towards the dorm. She lived in the girls' dormitory, the conditions much better now.

...

As a soothing love song slowly played outside the train.

All train residents gathered around tables and sat on the ground. On the tables were nuts, bread, cola, steamed buns, and a large plate of minced meat stir-fried with vermicelli.

The vermicelli was leftovers from a previous stew meal, and the minced meat was extracted from the meat sauce in buns and stir-fried with vermicelli, adding a bit of homely flavor.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Old Pig, dressed in a white suit, looked quite formal today, holding a microphone with his voice transmitted through the train's external sound system, he stood on the stage smiling at the audience.

"Today marks a historical turning point for human civilization."

"It's not just a wedding."

"But a junction between civilization and barbarism."

"Now, let's welcome the newlyweds to the stage!"

Applause suddenly erupted like a tide, and some bold train residents even began to cheer loudly.

A red carpet lay across the plain below the stage, surrounded by artificial flowers produced by the Mechanical Heart, making the scenery layered. Around the stage were four sturdy trusses.

The top of the trusses was also adorned with artificial flowers. The truss was brought from the "Ice and Snow World" mechanical ruin and reassembled.

If this wedding were in peacetime, it would certainly be considered simple, and the host's speech too brief and unprofessional, but given the doomsday context, this wedding is of the highest standard.

The continuous applause surged like waves.

Everyone looked toward the end of the red carpet at carriage 11 of the Constant Star Train.

Under Ai's control, the music volume was amplified again.

Finally—

Wearing a white wedding dress with a veil, Mei Jia emerged from carriage 11, eyes slightly red, linked hands with Mountain Cat, who wore a suit, slowly walking toward the stage as everyone watched.

Behind them.

Were four children in formal gowns, holding the wedding dress train, quietly following the bride.

Further behind.

Were four flower children holding baskets, continuously scattering flowers into the air.

"Wow!!"

One more time, the cheering of the train residents surged loudly.
