If there were Level 14 armor, he would feel much safer.

But...

In the short term, it's not possible. There just isn't enough iron ore. However, once the train expansion is complete, he still plans to upgrade the armor first.

Back when they were in the green zone,

Everyone had blue and yellow firepower accessories, which could at most be upgraded to Level 5 or 8. His armor was completely sufficient. But now in the Crisis Valley zone, everyone has red-grade accessories that can be upgraded to over Level 10.

This makes him feel not safe at all.

The cost of upgrading those firepower accessories is much less than upgrading his defense accessories.

He glanced at the remaining iron ore balance, which was still 9.01 million units. He hoped to find Level 4 iron ore tonight; the Cosmic Receiver was already starting to produce Level 4 iron ore.

As for the few ordinary carriages he had manufactured, they were absorbed by him, and the 100 Level car blade fragments they came with were all collected and placed in the train room's refrigerator.

They will be used as materials for the next "Ten Thousand Swords Attack."

This thing...

Regardless of its power, even the effect is stylish. Moreover, it's a method other train captains can't replicate, making it his unique skill!

As for those 1,200 survivors,

The additional 1,200 survivors brought the train's population directly to over 6,500.

An explosive increase once again.

Actually, the train no longer lacks miners; it truly doesn't anymore. As the iron ore level increases in the future, one mine won't need many people to extract it; a considerable amount of iron ore can be mined.

At this point, the determinant of the train's iron ore acquisition is the number of "mines," not the number of survivors.

But—

He still sheltered these people because according to the plan in his heart, he would need many employees in the future to maintain his "Neon City."

The usual rule.

First starve them in the refrigerator for three days, and then talk after three days.

For the train, feeding over a thousand extra mouths is not a big burden, but for the people below, it means the promotion pathway is much smaller.

The residents with a serial number over 1,000 were promoted very quickly, waking up every day to mine, extremely satisfied, and got promoted quite fast.

For the residents after serial number 4,000, it truly is that there are more wolves than meat...

There's really not much ore to dig for you.

Good news: the rest time has increased.

Bad news: the promotion pathway seems closed.

"First sleep..."

Chen Mang rose, stretched his muscles, went to the fridge bathroom nearby to wash up, and only after wrapping himself in a towel did he walk to the bed to prepare for sleep, while the little one slept on a chair.

He hadn't slept for a long time.

His body really couldn't take it anymore.

Before going to sleep, he gave a final instruction to Ai.

"If you really can't find Level 4 iron ore, Level 3 is acceptable. We definitely have to start work by dawn."

"Understood."

...

Old Pig arrived at carriage number 10, the "Entertainment Carriage," and glanced at the brightly lit and bustling "Film and Television Base," hesitating for a moment before pushing the door open.

It was already night inside.

And movies were still being filmed.

Many people wore suits and such, it seemed like they had started shooting modern movies.

"Pig Train Captain, you're here."

Zhang Yiren hurriedly rushed over in excitement: "Your advice last time was a huge help. This time I made a movie without any 18+ scenes, focusing mainly on the plot."

"It's roughly about a rich second-generation who accidentally kills someone with his car."

"But because of his stunning background, he successfully avoids conviction, and during the last trial, his family hires a lawyer with a 100% success rate for the rich second-generation."

"Then a family member of the victim pretends to be the lawyer and tricks the protagonist into confessing all the details of his crime."

"After the family member leaves, the protagonist hears the doorbell, opens the door, and finds that the person outside claims to be his lawyer."

"The story is full of twists, and the climax is constant!"

"It speaks of the ability of the lower-class people to rise against those in power, ultimately achieving final victory, stepping harshly on those so-called powerful people, with the whole text filled with the positive energy of resistance, struggle, and defying authority!"

"..."

Old Pig spat into his own mouth expressionlessly before slapping Zhang Yiren on the forehead: "Resist! Fight! Defying authority! You're really daring to film this!"

"Resist who, fight who!"

"Do you want Master Mang to play the villain protagonist in it too!"

"This sensitive subject could get you condemned immediately!"

"If you want to make a movie, make a good movie. Stop trying to incorporate some value elevation."

"Master Mang told me not to interfere with the thoughts of the people below, just make what you're comfortable with; don't follow my suggestions, just continue with your original hack-and-slash concept, continue shooting."

"This definitely won't work."

"Have some awareness."

"You're not a cat; treasure your life."

With that said,

Old Pig then strode out of the "Film and Television Base," leaving Zhang Yiren standing there in a daze.

"..."

After a long while, Zhang Yiren looked at the script he had just written in his hand and realized, thanks to Pig Train Captain's reminder, that movies with class conflicts really couldn't be made. The train's hierarchy was very clear, who would he stand against...

He couldn't help but shiver, thankful it hadn't been made.

If it had been made, if one idiot shouted, "Resist, fight!"

His head would roll along with that idiot's head.

It's better to stick to fighting and slashing, even if it's a bit cliché, the people love it, it's safe, and it won't get him killed.
