Chapter 51 "Do You All Know Ji Chuchu?"

Soon—

Every Slave was equipped with a level 2 pickaxe. Perhaps because this Mine was open-air, the Train Conductor stood nearby personally supervising, and every Slave worked extremely hard, rolling up their sleeves and swinging the pickaxe with full force to strike the protruding Iron Ores on the ground.

In an instant.

The darkness was filled with the heavy panting of the Slaves.

The next moment!

In the darkness of night, Chen Mang adjusted the external Sound System to maximum volume on the control panel. An extremely intense DJ track blared deafeningly in the ears of every Slave. Immediately after, a woman stood on the Slave carriage, swaying her body to the rhythm under the dim light.

The lighting was quite dim, making it hard to clearly see the woman's figure, but it was precisely this sense of朦胧 that brought a unique, absurd, and desolate beauty to the lonely darkness.

"See that Old hen?!"

Chen Mang grinned, standing inside the Train compartment, holding a walkie-talkie and shouting: "After we finish digging these two Mines, we'll stew it for you all to eat the meat and drink the soup! Everyone will have meat, everyone will have soup!"

"Do you want to dip buns in the meat soup?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The Slaves, looking toward the Train Conductor standing by the Train compartment window, couldn't help but imagine the taste of buns dipped in meat soup. They instinctively licked their lips, their throats swallowing, and their eyes filled with anticipation as they roared: "Yes!"

Chen Mang's neck veins bulged, his voice full of passion as he held the walkie-talkie and continued to shout: "See this woman dancing? Is she pretty? But I tell you, if you work hard, women of this quality are nothing!"

"I went to a gathering yesterday and saw the popular star Ji Chuchu!"

"Do you all know Ji Chuchu?!"

"If you work well, I'll go snatch this star for you!"

"Tell me, do you want it?!"

"Is there anyone who wants it?!"

This time—

The Slaves, already full of energy, completely exploded. They glanced at each other in the darkness, their eyes filled with excitement as they raised their pickaxes and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Yes!"

"I never thought I'd have this opportunity in my lifetime!"

"Are we still Slaves? Before the apocalypse, I wasn't a Slave, but even then, I didn't have the chance to play around."

"Lord Mang, don't worry, we'll work hard. If anyone slacks off, we'll be the first to deal with them!"

"Lord Mang, are you serious? Do we really have a chance?"

"Hey."

Chen Mang grinned, holding the walkie-talkie and shouting: "I, Chen Mang, have never broken a promise to anyone. After we finish digging the Iron Ore and copper mines, I'll go snatch Ji Chuchu for you as a reward!"

"Everyone will get a share."

"Even if you're Slaves, you're my Slaves. My Slaves are not on the same level as others' Slaves."

"What other Train Conductors can't even dream of, I'll let you enjoy until you're tired of it."

"As long as you follow me and work hard, you'll live better than before the apocalypse!"

"Now, get to work!"

The intense DJ music blared deafeningly again, stimulating every Slave's nerves. Especially after such a motivational speech, their energy was even more heightened.

"."

Chen Mang stood by the Train compartment window, looking at the Slaves who were continuously swinging their pickaxes in the darkness. He rubbed his slightly dry throat and then chuckled softly without speaking.

The popular A-list star, Ji Chuchu.

He wanted her too. He had never interacted with an A-list star before.

But

Compared to the price of 50,000 units of Iron Ore, he preferred taking the fully equipped level 2 Train to snatch that Ji Chuchu.

Trading is for making guns, making guns is for snatching resources.

If after making guns, you still have to continue trading, then what's the point of making guns?

He went through all this trouble, coming to the Doomsday Abyss to dig Iron Ore and copper mines, it wasn't just for fun.

"What a beautiful sound."

Chen Mang listened to the crisp sound of pickaxes striking Iron Ore outside the Train, a slight smile appearing on his lips. The cup of water in his hand seemed to transform into a glass of red wine at that moment. His grand Train plan was officially starting from here!

  One day.

His Train will become the most terrifying existence on the wasteland.

Among the Slaves.

A middle-aged man covered in dust also smiled, continuously swinging his pickaxe to strike the Iron Ore, clearly in a rather good mood.

"Uncle Li."

A young man beside him, breathing heavily, came over, his eyes full of teasing as he blinked: "Uncle Li, it seems you're quite looking forward to Ji Chuchu, huh? Smiling so happily?"

After spending these days together, he had learned the name of this man who was part of the middle class before the apocalypse, but he preferred to call him Uncle Li.

"Ji Chuchu?"

Uncle Li chuckled and shook his head: "It's the apocalypse now, so I won't hide it from you. If there's a chance to play around, who wouldn't want to? But what I'm truly happy about isn't that."

"Rather"

"Didn't you notice that besides our Stellar Train, there are no other Trains here?"

"Last night, the Train descended vertically down a cliff."

"No one has exploited the resources here, and no one is competing with us."

"This means the Train Conductor has his own unique and scarce methods."

"What I'm truly happy about is this. With so many resources and the Train Conductor's methods, the Train is bound to develop to a remarkable level, and our safety will be better secured. In the apocalypse, survival always comes first."

"Who wouldn't want to follow a Train Conductor with sufficient strength?"

"Who wouldn't want a bit of security?"

"Especially when this Train Conductor promises to bring out the Old hen and even Ji Chuchu for us to enjoy. This shows two things."

"First, this Train Conductor is generous, willing to share benefits with his subordinates."

"Second, this Train Conductor doesn't particularly value these things. Even something as scarce as Ji Chuchu in others' eyes is just ordinary in Lord Mang's view. His ambitions are greater."

"These two points are what make me happy."

"And"

"Right now, we're level two Slaves, and the newly joined batch are level three Slaves. Given Lord Mang's temperament, he will inevitably seize more Slaves in the future. This means that as long as the Train develops smoothly, with more Slaves joining, we have a good chance of leaving our Slave status behind."

"Being the first to join, we'll likely become lower-level managers overseeing the Slaves."

"Such a Train, with clear vision, a generous leader, and clear promotion paths, shouldn't we be happy to be among the first group?"

The young man was slightly stunned, then murmured somewhat dazedly: "Uncle Li, you really think deeply. I was only thinking about Ji Chuchu and didn't consider all that."

"Let's keep working."

Uncle Li smiled, patting the young man's shoulder. He had clear goals for himself. Given his past management experience and the Train's development, he believed he had a good chance of becoming one of the grassroots managers.

Originally, he didn't have this thought, as he believed there would always be Slaves. But when the new batch of Slaves joined, he suddenly realized that while there will always be Slaves, Lord Mang would seize enough Slaves.

This young man was his pre-determined confidant.

To train him first, so he wouldn't be without a confidant when he rises.

Although he wasn't the Train Conductor, he believed that while the Train's initial form might be rough, it would eventually develop into a small societal structure. Everyone would demonstrate their value within this structure to gain the Train's protection.

If he could find an opportunity... during the Train's development, to catch Lord Mang's attention, he could stand out among the Slaves.

One day in the future, he might even become the second Deputy Train Conductor!

There can only be one Train Conductor.

But as the Train develops and the population grows, there won't be just one Deputy Train Conductor.
