99: Chapter 99 The Cross-Border Best Friendships of Girls

But this was only the beginning of the shock.

As the heavy explosion-proof inner cabin door slowly closed behind Natasha, completely sealing out the bone-chilling winds from the ten-thousand-meter altitude outside.

A wave of warm, moist air, carrying an indescribable fresh scent of earth, instantly rushed toward her, gently enveloping her body that had been tense from years of combat.

"Such a comfortable temperature... and the scent of plants in the air?!"

Natasha took a greedy, deep breath of the air inside the carriage. She felt her lungs, which were somewhat stinging from absorbing too much nuclear exhaust, receive an unprecedented soothing at this moment.

She turned her head toward the source of the fragrance.

Through the massive, transparent explosion-proof glass wall on one side, she saw a miraculous sight that would instantly drive any wasteland survivor mad!

Inside that independent space known as the [Ecological Planting Carriage].

There was no cold steel, no desperate radiation.

Only a lush, vibrant, miniature farm!

Bright red mutated tomatoes hung heavy on the branches, lush green cucumbers emitted an enticing luster, and there were even several precious Old Era grapevines from who-knows-where, tenaciously climbing along alloy supports.

Soft, full-spectrum artificial sunlight shone upon this oasis, while a few domesticated mechanical bees were diligently collecting pollen among the flowers.

"My God... fresh vegetables and fruits?"

Natasha rubbed her eyes, unable to believe that what she was seeing was real.

In the Extreme Cold Region, let alone fresh vegetables, even those dried potatoes covered in mold were top-tier luxuries that only high-ranking officers could enjoy.

Yet on this man's train, these priceless treasures, which would be enough to trigger a bloody massacre in the outside world, were actually being grown in patches like common weeds!

This crushing generational gap in living supplies made Natasha tremble deep inside more than any powerful weapon could.

Just as she was still immersed in shock and unable to pull herself out.

A crisp, pleasant sound of high heels clicking came from the spiral staircase leading to the second-floor panoramic living area.

"Master, you're back. That Tin Dog didn't get your clothes dirty, did it?"

Accompanied by a charming, coquettish voice that could melt one's bones.

Wearing a tight, black, high-slit qipao that perfectly showcased her slender willow waist and startling fullness, Liu Ruyan walked down with an enchanting, cat-like gait.

She naturally walked to Su Chen's side, extending her jade-like hands that emitted a soft green glow to gently pat away non-existent dust from his trench coat.

"Hiss—!"

When Natasha's gaze fell upon Liu Ruyan, her instinctual radar as a top-tier warrior instantly shrieked an alarm!

"Energy fluctuations of an S-rank talent!"

"And it's that extremely rare, top-tier life-attribute energy that can even bring the dead back to life!"

Natasha's pupils constricted violently.

She had originally thought that this woman in the qipao, who looked like a decorative vase only good for pleasing men in bed, was just a canary Su Chen kept on the train.

But now she discovered with horror that this woman's body actually contained a bottomless ocean of life!

Before Natasha could even snap out of it.

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped a few degrees.

Chu Qingxue, in an ice-blue backless long dress, like a noble and cold Ice Queen, slowly walked down from the second floor.

Her ice-blue eyes just casually glanced at Natasha, and Natasha felt her proud ice-attribute power tremble with a desire to kneel and surrender!

"This... how is this possible? Her affinity for the extreme cold element is actually ten times purer than mine, and I've lived on the Siberian ice plains all my life?!"

Immediately after.

From the shadows of the sofa, an enchanting figure in a tight dark purple leather suit silently emerged.

An Ye, transformed into her Nine-Tailed Nether Cat form, lazily swayed her nine long black tails in the air, a deadly cold light flickering in her heterochromatic eyes.

Just by standing there quietly, she made Natasha feel as if an invisible scythe of the Grim Reaper had been silently pressed against her throat!

"A silver grade-peak peak assassin?! A monster of this level is actually willing to be a guard?!"

Then there was Zhang Man, who had just crushed her proud arm with pure physical strength outside.

Now, like a little fangirl, she was holding a steak fresh from the microwave and handing it to Su Chen like a precious offering.

Even that black-rimmed glasses-wearing little loli, Su Xiaoxiao, who was hiding in a corner meticulously calculating with a thick ledger and looked the most harmless...

Her body faintly emitted a mysterious fluctuation of laws that even Natasha couldn't see through!

Every single one of them was an S-rank or higher freak!

Every single one possessed the terrifying combat power to single-handedly take on or even destroy an ordinary army!

Natasha stood there in a daze, looking at these stunning Valkyries, any one of whom could establish a top-tier power in the outside world.

Her pride, her self-esteem, her arrogance as the overlord of the world's second-largest region...

At this moment, they were completely and unreservedly crushed into powder.

She suddenly gave a bitter laugh, a sense of self-mockery and clarity surging in her heart like never before.

"No wonder he looked down on my alliance proposal..."

Natasha thought silently to herself.

"Compared to this invincible battleship that brings together the world's highest level of technology, the most luxurious living supplies, and the most insane lineup of god-like figures."

"My proud Winter Legion..."

"Is simply like a dilapidated refugee camp where people can't even get enough to eat!"

Seeing Natasha's expression of utter shock, a profound smile curled at the corners of Su Chen's mouth.

He was very satisfied with this psychological dimensionality reduction strike effect of subduing the enemy without fighting.

"Alright, stop standing there like a wooden post."

Su Chen casually took off his trench coat, tossed it to Zhang Man, and then lazily leaned back against the large, soft leather sofa.

He looked up, his deep eyes fixed on Natasha, his tone carrying an unquestionable dominance.

"Ruyan, brew a cup of hot tea using top-grade tea from the Old Era for our new subordinate Train Master."

"Let her truly feel what kind of treatment one can enjoy as Su Chen's dog."

Having said that, Su Chen stood up from his seat and stretched, his bones letting out a series of crisp pops.

"The rest of you, talk to her about the rules. I'm going to the master bedroom."

As Su Chen turned to walk toward the corridor leading to the Train Master's exclusive lounge, his lips curled into an expectant arc.

What he was most eager to do right now.

Was to go to the absolutely safe exclusive master bedroom and personally open that [golden grade blind box] that radiated endless temptation.

To see what kind of heaven-defying surprise the first god-level golden light from ten thousand meters in the air could bring him!

Inside the abyss roarer's spacious and luxurious Train Master's exclusive lounge, a faint scent of agarwood lingered in the air.

Su Chen stood quietly before the soft, seven-to-eight-meter-wide bed, an irrepressible heat flickering in his deep eyes.

His right hand hovered in mid-air. Directly beneath his palm, a cubic blind box, emitting a dazzling dark-gold light and carved with countless complex and mysterious mechanical divine runes, floated up and down in the void at an extremely slow frequency.

"This is the very first god-level golden light dropped from a server-wide first kill in the entire Wasteland Cruise Era..."

Su Chen's long, powerful fingers slowly touched the cold, metallic surface of the blind box.

In that instant.

A grand aura of laws, ancient and vast as if spanning countless mechanical eras, flowed from his fingertips like an electric current, instantly spreading through his entire body!

"Buzz—!"

Accompanied by a deafening, strange roar like the whispers of ancient gods in his ears.

The originally closed [golden grade divine realm blind box], under the stimulation of Su Chen's max-level mental power, instantly transformed into countless dazzling golden streams of light, frantically darting and intertwining throughout the lounge!

These streams of light finally converged and compressed in mid-air, forming a sphere of golden light that was blinding to the extreme.

[Ding! Server-wide top-secret blind box opened successfully!]

[Congratulations, Train Master Su Chen! From the [golden grade divine realm blind box], you have obtained a supreme treasure that transcends the technological ceiling of the current era—]

At this most critical second, just as the Heavenly Dao System's crisp and pleasant announcement was about to reveal the answer!

Suddenly!

"Zzt, zzt, zzt—!"

The lights inside the entire abyss roarer flickered violently and crazily without warning!

The originally soft and comfortable full-spectrum artificial sunlight turned into a piercing and extremely unstable dark-red alarm light at this moment!

Even the golden light sphere in front of Su Chen, which had just finished forming before he could see what it was, was forcibly compressed back into a metallic code box emitting a faint golden light under this sudden, eerie fluctuation, landing steadily in the center of the large bed.

"What's going on?!"

In Su Chen's eyes, which were originally full of anticipation, a terrifying killing intent erupted, enough to make one's soul tremble!

He hated most being interrupted right in the middle of an opening—a moment so sacred and full of ritual!

Just as Su Chen was about to release that monarch's pressure, which could crush all laws, to investigate the situation.

From the train's surround sound system, the mechanical synthesized voice of the AI Housekeeper, Ling Yi—originally intellectual and gentle, but now extremely sharp and even carrying obvious electronic noise and the sound of current tearing—suddenly came through!

"War... Warning! Warning!"

"Train main control system... under... under forced intrusion by high-dimensional unknown electronic signals!"

"Zzt... Firewall... Firewall core code is suffering a devastating overwrite attack!"

Along with Ling Yi's intermittent cries for help.

Inside the second-floor panoramic living area.

The girls, who had been drinking and laughing with Natasha, were all startled by this sudden turn of events and jumped up from their bar stools.

The bottle of vodka in Natasha's hand almost slipped and fell to the floor.
