Chapter 313: Challenge

There is only one route for the challenge, and the Orient Express is still used, and at the end of the challenge, regardless of whether you win or lose, all items on the Orient Express will be restored to their original state.

The train traveled at 50 mph for about a minute, and even in the carriage, a slight shaking of the rails was noticeable. From the rear of the train, you can see the main figure of the spider train.

The spider locomotive has a demonic face, two green eyes, and an evil grin. In addition, the locomotive has four thick thighs on the left and right sides, which not only slide on the rails, but also run through the thighs to accelerate. At the top of the locomotive there is something that resembles a whistle, and on the left and right sides of the whistle-like thing are two holes that are not too big or too small. Behind the whistle is a chimney, which is now billowing black smoke.

Maya: "Acceleration, top speed." ”

Sunny ran to the front of the locomotive, adjusted the speed, and when the car got up, the distance between it and the spider locomotive increased. At this time, the body shook even more, and the control panel sounded a warning: danger, danger. After inspection, it was found that this section of the track is a curve, and the speed of more than 80 per hour may cause the train to derail.

When Maya learned about it, she said, "Adjust to 70." ”

After about 20 seconds, the spider locomotive reappeared, Maya: "80! ”

The spider train continues to approach, Maya: "90. ”

The spider train is still approaching, Maya: "95. ”

"It's going off the rails." The entire train car began to shake violently.

Maya observed for a moment: "Adjust to 80!" The Spider Train has a minimum speed of 95 per hour. Shoot. ”

Lin Wu had already prepared in the bonfire carriage, and when he heard Maya's order, he took a step to the left to the passage door and used his rifle to give the spider train a bullet. The distance between the two sides was 200 meters, which was not within the range, but because of the difference in speed, the bullet hit the locomotive and sputtered sparks. Unaware, the spider train is still chasing at high speed.

"Punch in the eye."

Lin Wu aimed and fired, the bullet hit the eye, and a long blood bar appeared above the spider locomotive's head, and the blood bar was about 1% off because of the bullet. At the same time, the speed of the spider train slowed down, and visual inspection was reduced to 70 kilometers per hour. After about 3 seconds, the Spider Train re-pursued.

The rifle was slow, and the next shot missed the eye, and the spider train quickly approached about 100 meters. At this time, a large number of spiders jumped out of the two black holes next to the whistle, and these spiders were colorful and looked extremely disgusting. They jump to the front of the car and then to the rails, bouncing off the wheel as they quickly approach the Orient Express, as the green bar on their heads, which signifies stamina, decreases rapidly.

When 15 meters into the board car, a spider green bar is about to bottom, it launches spider silk and hits the flat car, and its body is then pulled and jumped on the flat car. After getting on the flatbed, the spider jumped from the tail of the flatbed to the head of the flatbed, and Lin Wuyi exploded it in the air with a shotgun. The system prompts you to get an armor-piercing bullet for the rifle.

Lin Wu handed the bullet to Maya, who loaded the armor-piercing bullet and aimed it for a few seconds, hitting the spider train in the eye. The Spider Train immediately screamed, emitting billowing black smoke, swaying on the tracks, reducing its health by 5% and slowing to 50 km/h, before it began to accelerate after 10 seconds.

Not every spider drops armor-piercing bullets, and the spider locomotive doesn't shoot spiders at any time. The second time the chase came up, the spider train did not spray spiders, and the black holes of the two spraying spiders appeared with a 20-second cooldown.

The spider train approached 100 meters, and a white silk thread spat out of the whistle, sticking to the flatbed car. The driver then reported: "The train is slowing down. ”

Maya: "100 km/h." ”

After a 5-second count, a second spider silk erupts from the whistle and sticks to the flatbed.

Sunny report: "Not only is the speed not going up, but it has been going down. He set a speed of 100 mph, but instead of going in the direction of 100 mph, the speed of the train began to fall.

Maya jumped from the campfire car to the flatbed car and pulled out the watermelon knife. A spider silk flew and hit Maya, who slashed it with a knife and fell to the flat car because of the pull of the silk.

Lin Wu jumped to the flatbed car with Maya, holding a dagger in his hand, and quickly reached the rear of the car, cutting off the spider silk that stuck to the flatbed. In the next second, a spider silk hit Lin Wu's body. Before Lin Wu came back to his senses, the spider silk pulled and dragged Lin Wu away. The spider train opened its evil mouth and directly devoured the forest mist.

After devouring the forest mist, the spider train whistle whined happily, and the blood bar on the top of the head was full, and then flew out of the spider silk to grab the flat car. Maya didn't cut the spider silk, turned around and jumped into the campfire car: "Is there a speed limit on the track?" ”

Sunny Sunny: "The speed limit has been lifted, but the speed can't be increased." ”

Maya, as the conductor, gave the order to abandon the flatbed car, and the flatbed car and the train were separated. The spider train jumped onto the flatbed, black smoke enveloping it and the flatbed as it slowed down and glided entirely on the rails by inertia.

Maya tells Sunny to slow down to 30, and she needs data.

After about 1 minute, the spider train, which had digested the flatbed cars, began to accelerate, and Maya noted the time and let Sunny run at top speed. Now that the basic stats are here, all that's left is to complete the challenge.

Maya found that the Spider Web Railroad was bad, and while many sections allowed for maximum speeds, some sections needed to slow down. In the ensuing chase, the Orient Express averaged about 90 km/h. Whereas, the maximum speed of the spider train is 95 kilometers per hour.

This is also due to the fact that the maximum speed of the Orient Express is 120 kilometers per hour, and the average speed of ordinary trains is even lower.

Spider Train Two-Plate Axe: Spider and Silk. It is not clear if there are other skills.

The challenge was successful, everything was restored to its original state, Lin Wu was resurrected without any loss, and the stationmaster awarded the electronic map to the three people. In addition to the location of the Orient Express, the electronic map also shows all the ruts within 500 meters.

In addition to this is the bad news, the stationmaster told the trio that the total number of spider trains is not 1, but 42. Each of their trains has its own target, and after eliminating their target, they will transform into a patrol train, working with other spider trains to contain the player's train.

Despite the large area of the spider rail network and the length of the track, the stationmaster still kindly reminded the three to watch out for the Spider Train Patrol.

Bad news is followed by good news, damage the spider train, or destroy the spiders, and it is possible to get some power-ups. In addition to armor-piercing shells, there are also accessories that can be installed in train cars, such as anti-cobwebs. After obtaining the accessories, the conductor can operate the installation accessories while passing through the factory station.

In addition to the factory station, there are also many functional stations. For example, a medical station that fills everyone's health, a food station that increases everyone's satiety by 50%, etc. Looking at the map, the number of functional stations accounts for 10% of all small stations, and the remaining 90% of stations are question marks. Only by passing through small stations or through props can their functions be lit up on the electronic map.

The stationmaster specifically stated that among all the question mark stations, there is a resurrection station, but it can only resurrect players who died on the last day, not train members who died before.

Last but not least, the Spider Train relies on visual pursuit of the player's train, and in order to get rid of the Spider Train completely, it is necessary to change lanes with a fork. After getting rid of the spider train, as long as you don't get spotted and targeted by the patrol train, you can safely keep going.

However, the webmaster also stated that the rules of the game will change as the event progresses.

At 7:59, the trio were teleported back to the train by an irresistible force, and at 8 a.m., the train began to slide, and the 23-hour chase began.

Maya spends a few minutes looking at the map, then plotting out her route with Sunny at the front of the car. Confirm that there are no special circumstances and that the train is running at the highest speed. The system then issues the first task: finding the locator.

As the train leaves the platform, it is equipped with a locator by the evil villain, and the Spider Train is relying on the number 1 locator to guide the Orient Express at full speed. The player must find the locator to destroy it within 10 minutes, otherwise the spider train will appear one kilometer behind the Orient Express.

This is an intermittent and continuous mission every half hour, and if the locator can be found and destroyed, the Orient Express will not be pursued for the next 20 minutes. If the locator is not found, the Spider Train follows the Orient Express and this quest no longer appears. If it takes more than 30 minutes for the Orient Express to throw off the Spider Train, or if it takes more than 30 minutes for the Locator to be successfully removed, this quest will reappear.

Theoretically, as long as the locator is found every time and all patrolling spider trains are avoided, the Orient Express can complete the journey without worry. The reason why I say theory is because the stationmaster of the curtain station has made it clear that the rules will change.

The Orient Express has only six carriages, it is clean, it is clear, and theoretically the task is not difficult. But the trio spent three minutes searching all the carriages, and found no so-called locators. One possibility is that the locator is hidden inside items such as seats, and it is necessary to carefully inspect the places where items can be hidden. One possibility locator is not inside the train, but outside the train.

The forest fog went up to the roof of the car through the chimney, and the search was fruitless. Sunny and Maya carefully inspected each seat and found nothing, with three minutes remaining.

Maya let sunny parking.

In the last two minutes, Maya and Lin Wu burrowed into the bottom of the train and found a matchbox-sized locator in a groove under the campfire car.

The Orient Express arrived safely at 8:30 a.m.

Twenty-five minutes later, Maya pulled out a locator from the cushion of one of the seats in the passenger car.

The Orient Express arrived safely at 9 o'clock.

It's another 25 minutes, and Sunny finds the locator in the inventory warehouse.

The 10-o'clock mission fails, and the trio fail to find the locator hidden in the rope of Maya's backpack. Spider Train No. 1 is finally here.

However, it only landed for a while, because the next 30 kilometers were all unlimited speed rails, and the Orient Express was suspended at 120 kilometers per hour, and the spider train couldn't even eat fart.

During this time, the system broadcasts to all players that such and such a train has been eliminated from the game. Within three hours of the event, five trains were eliminated, including the Avalanche and the Ground Split.

In response to the player's search for the locator by reducing the number of carriages, Dawning made a new move at 11 a.m.: activate the station locator system. Each time the train passes through a station, the location information will be sent to the corresponding spider train, which will instantly appear two kilometers away and start the pursuit of the player.

Even so, the Orient Express is still very stable, with a large amount of coal and electronic maps, using 120 kilometers per hour and ruts to repeatedly throw off the spider train. At this time, the Maya had already sketched a figure-8 rail line. The line is about 360 kilometers long, of which 300 kilometers are at unlimited speed. However, the remaining 60 kilometers are divided into two sections, with a speed limit of 60. The good thing is that these two sections are far away from the station.

As for the station, there are not many surprises and frightening, on average passing through one station every 1.5 hours, most of which are ordinary stations with gas and healing functions. Maya found that site functionality would change. For example, the first pass through A question mark station is a medical station, if there is a spider train passing through A station, A station will become a question mark station again, and the second pass may be a coal-fired station.

Qinglang cooked a pot of salty rice for everyone, and the proportion of vegetables and rice and meat was equal, and the taste was quite improvised. Spider Train No. 1 occasionally made an appearance two kilometers away from the station and was quickly left behind.

Lin Wu made a salty meal and sat at the passage door of the bonfire carriage, his feet dangling on the flat carriage. Qinglang leaned to the side, and the two looked into the distance while eating and chatting. Qing Lang regretted a little: "The route has been planned, and it seems that this round of the game has ended like this." "The activities on the last day of the event were not as exciting as those of the previous days.

"Dawn will definitely give some way to live, otherwise the hardcore model will be meaningless." Lin Wu thought of the shadow: "The shadow didn't reach Town 10 in 4 days, not necessarily because of strength. ”

Lin Wu said: "Maybe they learned about the situation of Town 10 in the previous mission, and they don't plan to take the Sasha mission, as long as there is enough coal and food, they can end this event like a vacation." Perhaps it was the lack of coal or food that caused them to stop in the wilderness in search of resources. ”

Lin Wu said: "We came all the way back to Zuo County to see that the base was still there, and the people were gone. Lin Wu wasn't sure what was going on with the shadow, but he and Maya both thought that there was something wrong with the shadow, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to reach Town 10 in 4 days.

Maya's voice came over the intercom: "Yes, the car is coming." "Pull the whistle.

The other side also blows the whistle, and the two trains collide on the same track, passing through each other's trains. The train, called the Prawn Express, instantly appeared at the rear of the train. At the back of the car, a handsome and gentle middle-aged man raised his left hand to greet Lin Wu.

Lin Wu put down the salty rice, and before he could return the gift, the spider train chasing the Divine Prawn Express passed through the Orient Express, blocking Lin Wu's sight. Lin Wu said: "It's the first time I've seen a living player today. ”

Sunny: "There are only 8 trains out of 42 trains, and there are still 34 trains, so it's normal to meet players." But there are three rails here, so why did they choose us? ”

"Since we're alive, it means that this track isn't very dangerous."

Speaking of which, the train slowed down, and Sunny took the walkie-talkie and asked, "Maya, is there any problem?" ”

Maya responded: "There is a spider train one kilometer ahead on Line 1, with a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour, which should be a patrol train. ”

The Orient Express is on Line 3, and Maya checked the map and found that for the next 30 kilometers, the three lines are not only not separated, but there will also be an additional Line 4. The spider train also has shortcomings, they are regarded as standard by the eye, as long as they do not exceed the other party, the other party will not be able to detect the Orient Express.

Maya said: "There is a station ten kilometers away. Once we get to the station, we can't get off the number 1 spider train if we don't accelerate. If we speed up, we will be bitten by patrol train 10. Based on the information on the electronic map, she tried to find a suitable solution.

After a while, Maya said: "There is no way, prepare to meet the enemy." ”

The Orient Express picked up speed and quickly caught up with Locomotive No. 10, and when the two trains staggered, Qing Lang and Lin Wu took shotguns and blasted them to the left. When the two cars were 100 meters apart, the No. 10 train roared like a roar and began to pursue the Orient Express at full speed, but unfortunately it was too late, and they could only watch the opponent flee.
