A Bountiful Harvest
It didn’t take long.
This seemingly tyrannical large-horned monster was killed.
The Starfire Train’s high-speed rotating drill horn directly crushed its proud large horn.
Monster eliminated, danger averted.
The monster corpses on the scene began to be cut up and processed, prepared for the train to devour.
Yu Hao, the Green Giant, was put into a Storage Ball, and the Mental Matching ended.
He sat inside the train, watching everyone who had undergone Mental Matching busily moving and cutting up the monster corpses, nodding in satisfaction.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and decided to go to Carriage 1 to produce some food to reward his obedient passengers.
A total of 4 monsters were harvested today, a rich harvest, and it’s necessary to reward everyone and celebrate.
After arriving at Carriage 1.
Yu Hao went straight to the Zongzi Production Line, deciding to make some Zongzi first.
After consuming over 500 units of Flesh Material to create Zongzi of different flavors.
His expression changed slightly, and he thought of something a little troublesome.
He returned to the Train Room, looking at the two monster corpses outside the window and fell silent.
He had originally planned to have the train devour both monster corpses outside to obtain new train abilities.
But after consuming over 500 units of Flesh Material in Carriage 1 to produce Zongzi for the passengers, his idea wavered, and he became worried about the train’s future acquisition and use of Flesh Material.
His train’s crew now numbered 500 people; just for food, eating two meals a day, the Flesh Material consumption would exceed 1000 units.
Not to mention the material consumption added up from all aspects.
Before, in the Northern Desert Wasteland, there were Zombies to kill; just firing a Zombie Flare could attract a large number of Zombies to gather, so there was no shortage of Flesh Material.
But now it’s different.
After entering the Xilu Mountains, this is the monsters’ home ground.
The number of Zombies has decreased significantly; it’s even a question of whether there are any at all.
The terrain here is complex, and there are many monsters. He can hardly imagine how Zombies could survive in this area.
The collection of Flesh Material in the future will not be as safe and easy as in the Northern Desert Wasteland.
The captured monsters must be chosen between the Devour Ability and the conversion into Flesh Material.
If you just blindly devour various monsters to give the train abilities, the train’s strength will increase, but the passengers’ food and drink cannot be guaranteed, and the train won’t last long either.
Although the train currently has enough stored Flesh Material to last for a while, it can’t just be consumed like that; new Flesh Material must be continuously collected to maintain a balance between Flesh Material income and expenditure.
Outside the car window were two monsters: one was a large-horned monster, and the other was an Unknown Monster whose head had a large hole, making its features unclear. Its body had a lot of hair, but no striking features.
If the large-horned monster is devoured, based on its characteristics, it might give the train a large horn.
But the train already has a horn, and it’s a rotating one; having another large horn would be completely redundant.
As for the other monster, its strength is weak, and it’s estimated that it won’t get any powerful abilities.
Therefore, he considered converting these two monsters into Flesh Material.
In the future, he will deal with monsters in a targeted manner.
He will let the train devour those that provide a suitable improvement to the train’s current strength.
And those with redundant abilities, he will convert them into Flesh Material.
This will achieve a balance between obtaining abilities and obtaining materials.
After deciding, Yu Hao asked Xiao Ai for advice.
After hearing Xiao Ai’s opinion, which was similar to his own, he converted the corpses of the two monsters outside the train into Flesh Material.
……
The things that needed doing were done.
The Starfire Train continued to travel deeper.
At this time, Lafite, the Green Giant, entered the Storage Ball, and the other Zombies entered the refrigerators in the carriages.
Everyone had finished Mental Matching.
Yu Hao asked Lafite to distribute the Zongzi to everyone.
He himself began to check the abilities obtained after devouring the Dragonfly Monster and the Chameleon Monster.
After a check.
The good news was: after the train devoured the Dragonfly Monster’s corpse, it unsurprisingly obtained Compound Eyes.
The bad news was: after devouring the Chameleon Monster’s corpse, only the length of the train’s Frog Tongue increased to 200 meters.
“…”
Yu Hao was both happy and somewhat regretful.
The Chameleon has two main characteristics: Long Tongue and color-changing camouflage.
The train’s current Frog Tongue is actually sufficient.
If it could obtain outer skin color-changing camouflage, it would undoubtedly be a significant improvement to the train’s strength.
The previous Item, the One-Time Chameleon Camouflage Device, was in no way inferior to the Scavenger Train’s Stealth Mode Train Talent.
Therefore, if it could obtain outer skin camouflage, the train would essentially have an additional hidden Talent.
“Long Tongue and camouflage, can’t you selectively devour?”
Yu Hao muttered helplessly.
He still had an unused One-Time Frog Call Device, so he wasn’t worried about not having a way to strengthen the Frog Tongue.
When the train’s strength was sufficient, he would naturally try.
–
Devouring has randomness; especially when a monster has two or more characteristics, it will be impossible to predict the ability obtained through devouring.
–
“Alright…”
Xiao Ai’s reminder made Yu Hao accept the result.
Fortunately, after the Danger Detection Radar activated the Sonic Interference function, it still had a certain shielding effect, allowing the enemy to not detect its presence, which could be considered a lower-level camouflage that could be temporarily used.
Of course, being seen is an exception.
Today’s overall harvest was still quite unexpected, so Yu Hao wasn’t greedy; overall, he was still satisfied.
As for the Chameleon’s camouflage Talent, he could just kill more Chameleon Monsters later.
After killing many, it’s impossible for the ability boost to always go to the Frog Tongue; there will always be a time when it boosts the camouflage Talent.
Yu Hao looked at the randomly distributed Red Dots on the radar.
Since the radar has now activated the Sonic Interference function, as long as the Red Dots on the radar don’t see his train.
They won’t actively come over to cause trouble.
The process of killing the 4 monsters today was simpler than he expected.
This might be because he was still on the outskirts of the mountain range and hadn’t really gone deep yet, so the monster strength hadn’t increased.
Or perhaps it was the unexpected effect of the Storage Ball, indirectly enhancing the strength of the Zombies.
…..
On the top of the Starfire Train.
There were Compound Eyes similar to those of a dragonfly.
Inside the carriage.
Each passenger was excitedly using Mental Control to watch the outside world through the Compound Eyes on the roof.
Now without car windows, they could see the outside world even more clearly, as if they really had eyes outside the train; this immersive feeling was simply wonderful!
The passengers discussed enthusiastically.
“How can Master Hao have so many methods and surprises? He can even do this kind of thing?!”
“I feel that this makes it easier for us to control the various parts of the train!”
“Of course, we can see the situation outside clearly, greatly reducing the difficulty of control. In the future, we won’t need Master Hao or Captain Fu to specifically shout slogans; we will directly adapt to the situation based on the outside conditions!”
“No problem!”
