15: Water filling on trains

Chen Yujun led her daughter, Chen Tianxiang, into the Train, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. Seeing the food and daily necessities piled on the ground, her heart was filled with hopeful surprise.

What shocked her most was seeing an electric hot pot in the distance, constantly emitting steam.

The glowing indicator light on the electric hot pot further confirmed her guess.

She never expected that while others were still living a primitive, eat-raw-meat-and-drink-blood lifestyle, they had already entered the electrical age here.

She pointed at the electric hot pot in the distance, somewhat disbelievingly, and exclaimed, "You actually have electricity?"

No sooner had she spoken than an even louder gasp came from behind her.

"Oh no! I forgot I was still boiling eggs."

It was only when Chen Yujun mentioned it that Luo Wan Ning remembered she had been boiling two wild eggs. She hadn't noticed them while standing behind Chen Yujun.

With that, she quickly ran out from behind Chen Yujun.

Looking at the electric hot pot continuously emitting white steam, Luo Wan Ning quickly unplugged it.

Ignoring the burning heat, Luo Wan Ning quickly lifted the lid and saw that there was less than 2cm of water left inside. She couldn't help but sigh in relief: "Good thing! It didn't boil dry!"

If it had accidentally caught fire and burned down the Train, she would have been finished!

With that, she found a slotted spoon nearby and scooped the eggs out.

At this moment, both eggs had completely cracked open, and the pure white egg white had emerged from the brownish shell.

Luo Wan Ning wiped the water off the eggs, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to Chen Tianxiang. "Here! Little sister, this egg is for you."

"Mommy?" Chen Tianxiang didn't take it, but instead looked at her mother.

"It's okay! Take it, this is a welcome gift from your big sister." Luo Wan Ning pinched Chen Tianxiang's chubby cheek and continued.

"Take it! And thank your big sister." Chen Yujun nodded upon hearing this.

Only then did Chen Tianxiang happily accept the egg and say, "Thank you, big sister!"

"You're welcome!" Luo Wan Ning laughed heartily.

Chen Yujun thanked Luo Wan Ning: "Thank you, Miss Luo."

Just then, the driver's cabin door opened, and Luo Chen's voice came from inside: "Come over here and input your identity information."

Seeing this, the group quickly went into the driver's cabin.

[Using a Train ticket, please input passenger biometric information.]

Chen Yujun had already input her information once when she was a Train Conductor, so she knew the specific process.

She put her finger into the hole, and with a sharp prick, a message sounded on the broadcast, and two lines of text popped up on the screen.

[Beep! Train Conductor ECB04133 is detected using a Train ticket, their Train number and purpose will be revoked.]

[Do you agree to revoke? Disagreement will prevent you from becoming a passenger on this Train.]

Chen Yujun sucked on the wound on her finger twice and clicked agree.

[Revocation successful!]

[Congratulations on welcoming your first passenger to your Train. Passenger management function has been unlocked (located in the Train module).]

Luo Chen then used another Train ticket and had Chen Yujun bring Chen Tianxiang to input her information.

[Passenger Chen Tianxiang's biometric information successfully entered.]

As the screen displayed another notification, Chen Yujun and her daughter officially became the first and second passengers of Luo Chen's Train.

Clicking on the Train module, a passenger function sub-column appeared after the Vice Train Captain sub-column.

Clicking into it, the avatars of Chen Yujun and her daughter came into view.

At the same time, the top right corner displayed the current number of passengers: 2;

In addition to the avatar and name, clicking on 'Detailed Information' would show more content about the passenger's information.

Opening Chen Yujun's detailed information, a panel popped up, with a line of text introduction on the left and a larger photo on the right.

[Chen Yujun, Gender: Female, Age: 28, Health: 102, Strength Level: lv1, Train Identity: Ordinary Passenger]

Opening Chen Tianxiang's information panel, it was the same.

[Chen Tianxiang, Gender: Female, Age: 5, Health: 92, Strength Level: lv1, Train Identity: Ordinary Passenger]

Exited passenger management.

At this moment, another message popped up on the screen.

[Beep! Unowned carriages detected in the current world fragment, merge?]

Luo Chen clicked merge, and soon a carriage appeared behind Luo Wan Ning's original carriage.

As for Chen Yujun's original Train engine, it simply disappeared.

Stepping off the Train and looking at the Train, which was over sixty meters long, Luo Chen extended his hand to Chen Yujun and smiled, "Welcome to our team. From now on, we're all on the same Train!"

"Thank you, both Train Conductor Luo, for accepting us." Chen Yujun also smiled brightly and shook hands with Luo Chen and Luo Wan Ning in turn.

Seeing that the Train had finished merging, Luo Chen no longer stood on ceremony and instructed Chen Yujun:

"Since you are now one of us, I won't be polite anymore. Our Train currently has a water tank, and we need your help to fill it with water."

"Luo Wan Ning, go get all the water buckets you collected."

Soon, Luo Wan Ning brought out dozens of buckets; these were all ones she had collected from the supermarket before, and they were now coming in handy.

Luo Chen returned to the Train's driver's cabin and opened the injection port function of the purification water tank core. At this moment, a small square door popped up on the outer wall of the Train.

Returning outside the Train, Luo Chen pulled open the small square door, revealing a round hole inside.

It looked somewhat like a car's fuel filler, but it was a bit larger.

Luo Chen pointed at the round hole and said, "Later, I'll draw water from the reservoir, and you two will pour the water into this hole."

"Mhm!" Both women nodded simultaneously.

Luo Chen clapped his hands and said, "Then let's start now!"

With that, Luo Chen used a rope hook to tie around the handle of a bucket, then threw the bucket into the water.

With a pull of the rope, a bucket of water was quickly lifted up.

Chen Yujun, seeing this, quickly poured the water into the injection port.

At this moment, Luo Chen threw down another bucket, and just like that, the three of them continuously drew buckets of water from the reservoir.

During this time, Luo Wan Ning was instructed to retrieve a common iron treasure chest from the grass on the other side.

Inside were only a barrel of gasoline, an orange core, 36 star coins, and 4 train coins... "What are they doing?" Inside another white Train, Dongfang Yuyao looked at the busy group outside, a little curious.

"That mother and daughter seemed to have merged with their Train. Should I go?" At this moment, Dongfang Yuyao's heart was very conflicted.

"My Train is only level 1, and it's really dangerous alone. I just don't know what kind of people they are?

I should go out and test them. With two big sisters around, he shouldn't bully me."

After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Yuyao bravely walked out of the Train.

Only then did she realize that the others were continuously pouring water into the Train.

"Beautiful big sister, what are you doing?" Dongfang Yuyao asked curiously, looking at Chen Yujun who was continuously pouring water into the Train.

"Adding water to the Train. Little sister, is there something you need?" Chen Yujun picked up another bucket of water and poured it into the Train's injection port again.

Although her arms ached from the continuous repetition, the thought of having a large water source filled her with motivation.

"Can my Train do that too?"

"No! This is only possible by using a Train modification core, and it should be a more advanced type of core." Chen Yujun replied casually.

Seeing that the other party looked like she wanted to speak but hesitated, Chen Yujun looked at Luo Wan Ning, who was constantly bringing water, pointed at Dongfang Yuyao beside her, and after seeing her nod in agreement,

She stopped and urged, "Little sister, is there anything else? I'm very busy right now!"

Dongfang Yuyao looked at Luo Chen, who was continuously scooping water from the reservoir in the distance, and whispered, "Beautiful big sister, I just saw you merge with their Train. I want to ask you what you think of them?"

"They're very good!" Chen Yujun gave an objective assessment. Then, after thinking for a moment, she continued, "As for other things, I'm not too sure, I only met them today. But so far, they're all very easy to talk to, and there shouldn't be any problems following them. And their supplies are quite abundant, so if you want to live a better life, following them is a good choice."

"Then I also want to merge with them like you, can I?" Dongfang Yuyao made up her mind after hearing the other party's evaluation.

"You need to talk to that big brother, he's the Train Conductor." Chen Yujun pointed at Luo Chen, then turned back to continue pouring water.

Dongfang Yuyao heard this, went to Luo Chen's side, and said, "Big brother! I also want to merge with you like that big sister, can I?"

"I'm really sorry! Although I really want to merge with your Train, I don't have any white cores left." Luo Chen waved his hand and said with some regret.

"Big brother! I have white cores, I have two. One I got from my Newbie Gift Pack (newbie gift pack), and the other one my sister got from her newbie gift pack." Dongfang Yuyao quickly said.

"Since you have them, then it's possible." Luo Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting the little girl in front of him to have two fusion cores.

"Big brother, I can also give you the other white core, but I need to trouble you with a favor."

"What favor?"

"It's just that my sister turned into a puppet at the last station, and I want to ask you to buy her."

"Uh! I need to think about that. Big brother doesn't have many star coins right now. If your sister is too expensive, I might not be able to buy her."

"Not expensive, only two hundred star coins."

"Two hundred!" Luo Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "If it's only two hundred, then I agree."

"Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother!" Dongfang Yuyao repeatedly thanked him.

"You wait on the side for a bit, we need to collect water now."

"It's okay! I can help too!" Dongfang Yuyao quickly followed Luo Wan Ning, passing buckets.
