Before Lu Xingyuan arrived, the bald man suggested, "Let's kill this guy!"

"Kill someone? Are you insane!? I can't do something like that!"

The woman with the big wavy hair froze completely.

"Are you stupid? If we kill him, all the supplies on his train will be ours!"

The bald man lowered his voice and continued to tempt her.

"Don't you want water and food?"

"You saw it too. Other than materials for upgrades, this platform doesn't have any survival supplies at all!"

"If this keeps up, the two of us will starve and die of thirst!"

"Or can you guarantee that tomorrow's station will have water and food?"

"Do you dare bet on it? You can't afford to!"

The woman with the big wavy hair's pupils trembled, and it seemed as though her heart trembled along with them!

"So, if we want to survive, we can only kill him and take all his supplies!"

"In this world, there are no laws or morals. We have to do whatever it takes!"

"You saw how cold and heartless that guy is. There's no way he'll share his water and food with us!"

As the bald man spoke, he grabbed her shoulders tightly.

"So listen to me. Let's take a gamble!"

He shoved a fruit knife into her palm.

She swallowed with difficulty.

Because she had to admit that she was tempted!

And what truly made her decide to kill Lu Xingyuan was Lu Xingyuan's attitude right now!

Who the hell are you trying to impress!

I asked you to open a treasure chest so I could see it. What's wrong with that!

I'm a beautiful woman, damn it. Why the hell are you looking down on me like this!?

Kill!!!

The sharp fruit knife flashed coldly as it stabbed straight at Lu Xingyuan's heart!

The woman with the big wavy hair was not panicked in the slightest. She only felt indescribable excitement.

So killing someone wasn't that difficult after all.

However...

A fist moved faster than a knife!

Her chest caved in. She felt several ribs break as her entire body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. The fruit knife fell from her hand as well.

The pain relentlessly assaulted her nerves, making tears burst from her eyes in an instant.

Her pupils shook as she stared at Lu Xingyuan's icy expression, and the fear in her heart grew without limit.

How could this guy be so strong!

She wasn't even in the same league as him!

But she had not lost yet!

The woman with the big wavy hair immediately looked at the bald man.

The bald man was currently standing there in a daze.

He had sent someone flying with one punch. Was this guy even human?

That woman might have been slim, but she still weighed over a hundred pounds!

At least, he knew he couldn't do that!

But... he still had a trump card, didn't he?

His talent allowed him to unleash twice the explosive strength for a short period of time!

Maybe that would be enough to take down Lu Xingyuan!

He had not acted on a whim. He had thought this through carefully before making his move.

However, in the next second, a dark gun barrel was pointed at him.

"..."

He fell silent.

He had seen people hide grenades in their pants, but never a gun.

I thought you were naturally gifted. Turns out you just had an item.

If you had a gun, you should've taken it out earlier. I wouldn't have given myself so much inner monologue.

He immediately raised his hands in surrender.

There was no need to find out whether bullets were faster than fists.

"It's a misunderstanding, all of it! I'm not with her! I never thought she'd be so deranged that she would dare sneak-attack you!"

The woman with the big wavy hair went silent for two seconds, then raised her middle finger.

"Fuck your mother!"

The bald man had no time to deal with her. He looked at Lu Xingyuan with a fawning expression.

"Brother Lu, let's join forces and kill her!"

He made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Then we can move all her supplies over here!"

"Most importantly, her train can be dismantled into materials for your upgrades. A powerful expert like you will definitely become the first Train Conductor to reach Level 2!"

The fact that ownerless trains could be dismantled by other Train Conductors after their owners died had long spread through the chat channel.

Many Train Conductors had become worried.

Such a setting would only provoke slaughter between Train Conductors.

"Is there nothing else you want to say?"

Lu Xingyuan did not lower his gun.

The bald man froze.

"Wh... what do you mean?"

"Up to now, you haven't said a single thing worth making me spare you."

Cold sweat instantly drenched the bald man's back.

"Do you have any Train Coins?"

"N-No! I do! Don't kill me!"

"You're lying."

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Flames spewed from the muzzle, instantly turning the bald man into a sieve.

The gene serum had enhanced Lu Xingyuan's physical abilities to the point where the submachine gun's recoil was completely negligible to him.

Thus, every bullet hit the bald man with precision. Not a single shot missed.

"That should make sure he's completely dead, right?"

Lu Xingyuan did not dare let his guard down and fired another magazine into him.

Mainly because this was not a normal world, but one with supernatural powers.

He had no way of guaranteeing whether the other party possessed some kind of supernatural life-saving method.

Behind him, the woman with the big wavy hair, who had witnessed everything, swallowed frantically.

This guy was fucking ruthless!

The man had already been shot into a sieve, yet he still fired more shots!

What was the difference between him and a devil?

The woman with the big wavy hair trembled violently as she desperately begged for mercy.

"Please don't kill me, okay? I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Give me a chance to live. I can follow you and be your dog. I don't want my train anymore. I can become your subordinate, become a tool for your desires. I've actually got quite a body too."

In a panic, she began unbuttoning her clothes, trying to use her pale flesh to seduce Lu Xingyuan.

Becoming his subordinate was not a bad thing at all. It was actually a good thing!

He was so powerful and capable. If she followed him, she would definitely eat and drink well, never having to worry about food and water again.

"Please, I'm someone who reads the Spring and Autumn Annals."

Lu Xingyuan pulled the trigger and blew her head apart.

"What kind of person do you take me for? Honestly."

After searching the two of them, Lu Xingyuan found no Train Coins. He was not surprised in the slightest. If they really had such things, they would have taken them out long ago in exchange for food and water. He had only asked to be safe.

Once the train's owner died, its newbie protection naturally disappeared as well.

Two notifications popped up.

[Ownerless train detected. Transfer resources?] [Ownerless train detected. Dismantle?]

Transfer!

[Sorry! The current train's capacity has reached its limit. Transfer unavailable!]

Fuck!

Isn't this bullshit!?

There was only one minute left before the train departed!
