"Thirty years, a full thirty years, and I've finally reached Level 5 Train. It's time to set off and find the Great Terror to put an end to it all!"
Inside the base city, in the City Lord's mansion, Lin Changqing looked up to the sky and sighed. After thirty years of struggling, he finally upgraded his train to a Level 5 Train.
Thirty years ago, he was just a carriage slave. Thirty years later, he became the City Lord of the base city and advanced to a Level 5 Train giant, a unique existence in the entire doomsday world.
And now, it's time to set off and find the Great Terror.
[Before setting off, you held a banquet in the City Lord's mansion, gathering some of your former subordinates for a brief farewell. You also distributed some resources.]
[After all, you've lived here for thirty years and have some feelings for this place. You don't want the City Lord's mansion to fall apart as soon as you leave, so you distributed some resources at the banquet to prevent your subordinates from fighting over them after your departure.]
"City Lord, are you leaving? What will we do without you? The base city can't function without you. In the past thirty years, you personally led the base city to become the strongest city in the doomsday world. What will we, your subordinates, do without you?"
At the banquet, some of Lin Changqing's subordinates were shocked to hear that he was leaving. Huang Er, a fat man in the front row smoking a cigar, also tried to persuade Lin Changqing to stay. This fat man with a cigar was Huang Er.
Thirty years ago, he invested in Lin Changqing, offering a map of an energy stone mine, helping Lin Changqing become a Level 2 Train Captain. In the thirty years that followed, Lin Changqing also repaid him. Huang Er is now considered one of Lin Changqing's subordinates, a Level 3 Train.
"City Lord Lin, you can't leave! You are our backbone! Besides, if you leave, our base city occupies so many good things. I'm afraid the Train Captains of other cities will come to snatch them. We may not be able to hold them off," Huang Er said sincerely, looking at Lin Changqing. He really wanted to persuade Lin Changqing to stay; this wasn't a lie. In the past thirty years, if there was anyone Huang Er admired the most, it was Lin Changqing.
Thirty years, from a carriage slave to an unprecedented Level 5 Train Captain. Huang Er felt that all his luck had been used up on that night thirty years ago when he offered the mine map.
In these thirty years, Lin Changqing led the base city to great prominence, becoming a Level 5 Train Captain, suppressing other cities in the doomsday.
Huang Er was also afraid that Lin Changqing would leave and there would be no one to hold down the fort.
In Huang Er's opinion, only Lin Changqing could intimidate the doomsday world!
"That's right, Old Huang is right. If the City Lord leaves, we will be leaderless," other subordinates also worried.
"I must leave," Lin Changqing shook his head slightly, looking at the many subordinates trying to persuade him. "I understand your concerns. You are not flowers in a greenhouse. You have followed me through battles for thirty years. For example, you, Li Long, you are a Level 4 Train, basically the strongest person in this world. What are you afraid of after I leave?"
"In the past thirty years, because of my existence, you didn't have to worry too much, but I must leave. In the future, you will have to rely on yourselves. You worry that people from other cities will come to threaten you, but your strength is enough to resist. With Li Long, a Level 4 Train, you are enough to hold them off."
[Faced with your words, your subordinates fell silent. Yes, they are not flowers in a greenhouse. After you leave, there is still Li Long, a Level 4 Train Captain, enough to deal with some dangers. In this world, you are a unique Level 5 Train. Others are at most Level 4. In that case, even after you leave, the base city will still have the highest combat power. At most, they won't be able to suppress other cities like you used to, but it's enough for them to survive.]
"City Lord Lin is right. Then we will respectfully see off the City Lord here," Huang Er, Li Long, and some other subordinates raised their wine glasses. Lin Changqing also nodded slightly.
Finally, Lin Changqing said some polite words, and then left the City Lord's mansion without looking back, leaving the base city where he had worked hard for thirty years.
[Ten minutes later, you summoned the Ironclad on the wasteland. Then, a train ten thousand meters long, like a steel behemoth, appeared on the wasteland. Its gears were a hundred meters long. Each of its carriages was forged with interstellar steel armor, indestructible. This is your Level 5 Train. The hundred-meter-long gears can tear apart all zombie monsters, and the interstellar steel is enough to withstand all enemy attacks.]
[You drove the Ironclad east first. You didn't immediately look for the Great Terror, but instead found a city in the eastern wasteland, Baian City. You plan to kill the City Lord there. This is your greatest enemy. Although you just told your subordinates to rely on themselves in the future, you still have to solve some enemies for them. The City Lord of Baian City is a peak Level 4 Train who has always been hostile to you. You are indeed worried that after you leave, this guy will capture your base city, so you have to kill him first before you leave.]
[An hour later, you arrived at Baian City.]
When a train ten thousand meters long, like a steel dragon, roared and stopped outside Baian City, everyone in Baian City trembled. They had never seen such a long, terrifying train. The City Lord of Baian City, Bai Longfei, also looked shocked.
"Ten thousand meters long, Lin Changqing, you've been promoted to Level 5 Train!?" Bai Longfei was a middle-aged man in white. He stood on the city wall, looking at the dragon train that stretched for ten thousand meters, with undisguised shock.
Level 5 Train! It was the hope of so many people in the doomsday world. No one had ever reached it in so many years.
Bai Longfei never thought he would see it in Lin Changqing, but after a moment, he was relieved.
In the past thirty years, who was the brightest star in this wasteland?
That naturally belonged to Lin Changqing.
No one had ever gone from a carriage slave to a peak Level 4 Train in thirty years.
Of course, now he had become a Level 5 Train from a carriage slave in thirty years.
"City Lord Lin has been promoted to Level 5 Train. This is something the entire doomsday world should celebrate. You are generous and merciful, spare my life. I, Bai Longfei, am willing to become your subordinate," Bai Longfei, as expected of someone who had struggled in the doomsday world for forty or fifty years, immediately admitted defeat when faced with the Level 5 Train behind Lin Changqing. There was no way he could win.
"Unfortunately, I can't spare your life. You are indeed a talent. I really don't want to kill you. If it were the old me, I would have really wanted to recruit you as a subordinate, but it's impossible now," Lin Changqing walked out of the carriage, shaking his head slightly at Bai Longfei's request.
To be honest, if he wasn't leaving here to find the Great Terror and continued to develop in the doomsday world, he might have spared Bai Longfei's life. After all, this person was indeed a talent, but it wasn't possible now.
Bai Longfei was a tyrant. If he stayed here, he could suppress him, but once he left, no one would be able to suppress Bai Longfei.
