This is all the information.
"..."
Chen Mang’s eyes narrowed slightly, slowly pushing the lever forward. As the Drill extended, he was curious about whether he could drill his way out. He was also puzzled about why a "Train Dungeon" existed in the first place.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to directly imprison the Train Captain in a dungeon?
There wouldn’t even be a need to build such a large dungeon.
Moreover, given the Train Captain’s abilities, without a train, there’s no way he could escape the dungeon.
If they could capture the train, they could capture the Train Captain too.
The next mont—
"Boom!"
The Constant Star Train crashed heavily against the iron bars. The Level 50 Drill only produced sparks against the iron bars, but no damage. The strength of these bars was simply absurd.
He also tested the surrounding walls.
They appeared to be dirt walls.
But after crashing into them, not even a speck of dirt fell.
"..."
With a blank expression, Chen Mang picked up the walkie-talkie, "Old Pig, Li Shiji, Biaozi, get off the train. Ai, you co down too. Let’s figure out how to leave this dungeon."
It was clear.
Forcing your way through was not an option; the only way left was to use intelligence. And whenever it involves using intelligence, the more minds, the better. Everyone should share their ideas.
...
Inside the dungeon.
The Train Dungeon was parked nearby.
Old Pig stood sowhat confused by the iron bars, hesitating, "Master Mang, the gaps between these bars are a ter wide, even Zhang Dai could squeeze through. This thing is only ant to block trains, right?"
"It certainly can’t stop people."
"Wait a bit, don’t rush out."
Li Shiji furrowed his brow, closely scrutinizing the patterns and clues in the dungeon’s corners, carefully analyzing, "From known information, that train escaped this Train Dungeon less than 24 hours after being trapped."
"And to this day, the chanical Civilization doesn’t know how that train managed it."
"I have a rough idea of the source of the Adventure Map now."
"It’s likely related to ’Anchor Points.’"
"Anchor Points?" Chen Mang, leaning on his cane, nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, Anchor Points!"
Li Shiji nodded seriously, "For instance, when humans look back on their lives, they can’t rember every single mory perfectly; they can only recall so more profound ones."
"Like the first ti they confessed and got rejected."
"The first ti they embarrassed themselves in front of everyone."
"The first ti they were severely scolded by their boss."
"Can’t you ntion sothing good?" Biaozi said irritably, "And what’s with you saying ’you humans’? Aren’t you human too?"
Li Shiji’s face showed no extra reactions; while ticulously searching for clues, he continued speaking, "Humans are often more prone to rember painful mories rather than happy ones."
"Besides, I am indeed different from you."
"I can basically rember every segnt of mory since I started rembering, and that’s quite far from normal human mory."
"Hyperthysia, maybe?"
"Not that exaggerated, I’m not on par with hyperthysia."
"These anchor points support a human being. In other words, if all these anchor points in a human mind were suddenly erased, they could almost be said to restart their life, with mories of the first half of their life mostly gone."
"The Adventure Maps we go to are sowhat akin to the ’Anchor Points’ of the chanical Civilization."
"Haven’t you noticed?"
"Whether it’s the ’Heaven-Reaching Tower’ or the ’Neon City,’ the ’Earth Core Nuclear Bomb’, or now this ’Train Dungeon’, they are all significant anchor points in the history of the chanical Civilization."
"It’s a bit like..."
"Yes, carefully dissecting a human’s anchor point, similar to an obsession."
Speaking of this.
Li Shiji withdrew his gaze from the Train Dungeon, turning his head to look at Chen Mang, "Master Mang, there aren’t many clues, but I know what train was once held here. It was a Flesh and Blood Train."
"Judging by this dungeon and what we’ve learned before."
"It’s quite obvious."
"When a Flesh and Blood Train upgrades to a certain level, the Train Captain can no longer leave his Flesh and Blood Train or has beco one with it. This explains why there is a Train Dungeon and why the gaps in the iron bars are so large."
...
"..."
Chen Mang did not speak; he had thought of this earlier too. It wasn’t a matter difficult to deduce, but since Li Shiji didn’t find any other clues within the dungeon.
They had to explore outside now.
He walked at the forefront with his cane, passing through the iron bars and reaching the corridor outside the Train Dungeon. Dim light spilled onto the floor, and the corridor was very tall and wide, easily accommodating several chanical Trains side by side.
On both sides of the corridor were filled with Train Dungeons.
However, the iron bars of these Train Dungeons were all in a state of disrepair, as if forcibly destroyed. Their dungeon was on the far right, the first chamber, with the corridor only able to turn left.
There were no clues along the way.
The corridor was approximately several hundred ters long.
At the end of the corridor, they saw the first ’Train Dungeon’ that hadn’t been opened. The iron bars were perfectly intact, and in the corner of this dungeon was a massive, curled-up Flesh and Blood Train.
Yes, curled up...
A normal chanical Train wouldn’t curl up in a corner like this.
It appeared that this Flesh and Blood Train had been defunct for quite so ti, its armor already blackened and withered, the Train Dungeon devoid of any vitality.
Chen Mang looked down at the key card in his hand.
