This train consisted of eight carriages.
From the locomotive to the last carriage, it was a deep blue that emitted a glow, with black spots as embellishments, making it resemble the Milky Way overhead, extremely resplendent.
"Is this heading towards us?"
Chen Miao furrowed his brow and asked. Although the train looked magnificent, at that moment, he would have preferred to go back to sleep. Besides, the train didn't seem to be coming for them, as it was getting farther and farther away.
"No."
Zhou Shen shook his head. "This is a fixed event designated as number 217, named Wilderness Comet. It's a harmless fixed event, and many have witnessed it."
"Every time night falls, this train known as the Wilderness Comet will wander randomly through the wilderness. If it stops in front of you, all you need to do is pay the fare, and the train will take you anywhere."
"The destination is completely random."
"In most cases, there's no danger, unless it's a desolate area with no signal. Generally, it's safe. If you encounter this thing while fleeing for your life in the wilderness, then you've truly hit the jackpot. You can be whisked away thousands of miles in an instant."
"How much is the ticket?"
"There's no set amount. You can pay as much as you want. There are no rules governing this. So far, there's been no difference observed between paying a lot and just a little. Even if you pay a lot for the ticket, the destination is still selected randomly, and there are no extra services."
"Got it."
Chen Miao nodded, finding the explanation somewhat complex, but in essence, this train was like a random teleportation array roaming the wilderness. If you happened to step aboard, you could be randomly transported to any corner of the Federation.
Yes, that was it.
Being a special event, and having persisted for a long time in the Federation's wastelands, it eventually became a fixed event.
"That doesn't seem right, does it?"
Standing aside, Hungry Monkey expressed doubt. "I thought the ranking of fixed events was based on their level of danger. Why is Wilderness Comet ranked at 217 when Hell Bus at 128 poses much more of a challenge?"
"Is there any danger with this fixed event?"
It was a difficult process.
To be precise, he had crawled off that crimson train alive.
He didn't want to fight. They were all innocent people and at that time, he couldn't bring himself to kill innocents just to stay alive. But when these people also went mad and started attacking him with knives,
his sanity began to be clouded by the stench of blood.
Since then, he's had a particular dislike for the lower classes.
They never comprehend how dangerous the world truly is, never realizing the peace they enjoy is bought with the blood of many.
Of course, that's only part of the reason. Find exclusive stories on empire

With the brief appearance of the Wilderness Comet,
the convoy started on the road home again.
The lights inside the truck were dim, and the drowsy atmosphere began to spread once more. Everyone's heads drooped as they dozed off. After an unknown period, the truck stopped again.
When they peeked out of the truck once more,
they had arrived at Eternal Cemetery.
They were home.
"You've worked hard,"
the Mayor of Fengtian City said as he stepped down from the vehicle, approaching Chen Miao and smiling. "Thanks to you, otherwise the Sea of Zombies fixed event wouldn't have been settled so easily."
"Although I don't know exactly what you did, I saw you plunge into the Sea of Zombies, and not long after, the Sea of Zombies started to lose its ability to continuously generate zombies, becoming a rootless body of water. The rest was easy."
"On behalf of Broken Pot City government, and the tens of millions of residents, I thank you."
