They're trying to escape!
If they start the train now, and it passes through the station before the others arrive at their designated boarding point— Station 0, then the other investors will never be able to board!
The train beneath their feet utilizes almost all of the world's most advanced technologies and possesses a power system that is virtually perfect in every aspect; it can almost be called a "perpetual motion machine."
It also boasts a complete miniature ecosystem, where fish can be raised, vegetables can be grown in greenhouses, and there are swimming pools, bars, schools, hospitals, saunas, cold storage facilities, and even opium dens...
The railway line beneath their feet is the world's first railway line to circle the globe, stretching a full 438,000 kilometers! (Picture)
It circled the outlines of every continent and major country in the world!
It takes a full year to complete this route.
There has never been a railway line like this in human history.
There has never been a man like Wilford, someone who built this railroad simply to fulfill his childhood dream of living on a train forever...
When Wilford consolidated the world's railway resources under the guise of a luxury train tour, pouring all of Wilford Industries ' resources into making this line a reality, everyone in the world thought he was crazy.
Of course, Claude now knows that it was just a deceptive propaganda campaign.
What a luxurious train tour route...
Those are all just tactics to divert attention.
Of course, Wilford is a madman, that might be true. Xxs-②
Wilford is probably already thinking of taking this never-ending train and climbing straight to the top, ascending to his rightful throne...
If they successfully sneak off and the other partners can't get on the train, then Wilford will be in charge on this train.
Claude knew what her boss was thinking, and that was why she, a young woman, was chosen to occupy an important position on this train that represented the future.
Yes, it's a train that represents the future.
The thought of CW-7 made Claude realize that there was no hope in the world, and that she could only survive by staying on this train.
"Sir, I'll go and tell the others to start right away."
train..."
Claude turned to leave, but Wilford called him back.
"Sir, what are your orders?" Claude bowed his head, completely obedient.
Wilford said, "Tell the soldiers that I have given them the power to kill."
"Okay." Claude's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the other partners who stayed behind on the train were doomed. He became even more nervous, fearing that Wilford, that madman, would have him thrown off the train at any moment.
"Is there anything else?" she asked nervously.
Wilford thought for a moment, then suddenly gave a mischievous smile, "Our company has advertising slots on many television stations. I want you to replace all those ads..."
As he spoke, he moved closer to Claude and whispered his request in her ear.
Claude looked surprised, but immediately agreed.
Then she turned and left, her expression indifferent, to relay orders to the soldiers on the train.
Soon, the soldiers disappeared from her sight.
Then, gunshots and screams began to erupt from the carriages further back.
The train windows were opened, and bodies with bullet holes in their heads were thrown out without attracting anyone's attention. This was the train's initial stopping point, and the surrounding area had already been cleared out; there were no outsiders around.
Then the windows were closed again, and the train's ventilation system was activated at full power. In less than a minute, the smell of blood and filth had completely dissipated.
The soldiers reported to Claude.
The train was now completely under their control.
"Let's drive then." Wilford, having tidied himself up, slowly turned around and walked towards the front of the carriage.
He walked through various carriages, each with a different function, until he finally reached the second carriage.
This is the train's transmission room. A narrow iron bridge almost divides the interior space into two halves, and the train's transmission components are located beneath the bridge.
At the front of this carriage is a huge circular iron gate with the Wilford Industries logo printed on it: a circle with a sharply defined "W" inside, which looks quite rugged.
Behind the door is the front of the car, which also serves as the engine workshop.
The great engine, hailed as a perpetual motion machine, is hidden within it.
Wilford gazed at the door.
That will be where he will live in the future.
After a while, he shifted his gaze to a small door on its left.
It was a door connecting to the outside world.
He had already foreseen that this door would not be opened for a long time to come.
Let's go.
Under Claude's control, the massive circular iron gate slowly opened, revealing the train's engine room to the two of them.
Unlike the luxurious style outside, the interior decoration style is more minimalist, even rudimentary. In particular, after Wilford started the engine, there was a constant noise that was quite annoying.
Wilford paid no heed to any of this, happily admiring his train and the scenery slowly disappearing outside.
The Snowpiercer's sudden start went unnoticed by anyone.
People are currently focused on the fact that global temperatures have returned to optimal levels.
The departure of a luxury train went completely unnoticed.
All of this continued until the first person noticed an advertisement: w.
"I am Wilford."
A Mediterranean man, familiar to many, appears on the screen, speaking confidently to the camera.
"CW-7 was successfully launched yesterday, and you may still be reveling in humanity's historic achievement in overcoming global warming."
"But I'm telling you, you're wrong, terribly wrong."
"CW-7 is an extremely dangerous substance. Even a small amount could plunge the entire world into an ice age in a short period. The CW-7 released yesterday is completely out of control, and in the near future, most of the world's population will die from the sudden, extreme cold."
"And if you want to avoid death, there is only one outcome."
"That means boarding my train..."
" The Snowpiercer has set off. This train, which travels endlessly around the world, possesses limitless power and energy; it will become our solid fortress in the apocalypse."
"I will make the train stop at the next station. If you board the train, you will have a chance to survive."
The sound stopped abruptly.
The television station ended its commercials and began airing its scheduled programs.
It was as if nothing had happened.
But those who see this "advertisement" can't pretend nothing happened...
