There was no crisis throughout the entire process.

This place is a no-man's land.

No monsters, no people, just a broken and abandoned laboratory.

Although the process was somewhat difficult.

But the result is always good.

"..."

Chen Mang smiled as he looked at Ai, who was fiddling with the machine in the "Armor Research and Development Center": "I'll leave this to you, get it up and running as soon as possible, I want to see the effects."

The main items have already been transported.

Others are carrying the remaining materials, equipment, and a series of items like beds, diaries, and living supplies from the staff dormitory.

Once all these are moved out,

He'll see if he can scrape off those materials on the experimental laboratory walls, unsure of what they are as they provide great shielding.

Then, he'll try to see if the drill can penetrate the glass dome to extract all three mining fields inside.

"Biaozi, come take a stroll with me."

"Sure."

...

Soon enough—

The two took the Life Elevator all the way to the center of the valley on the surface.

Chen Mang stood with his cane, looking around as the surrounding mountains completely enclosed the place, blocking the view. He had no idea which area they were in, except that the Train Radio displayed "unknown region."

He had a rough idea of the area.

After Doomsday.

The entire planet was divided into countless regions, but... there was always a corner that wasn't included in any region; those areas should be unknown regions.

"..."

He smiled while looking around. He finally understood thoroughly what Doomsday was about, and fully realized how chaotic this planet was, but none of that mattered.

As long as his train was slowly getting stronger,

No matter what state this planet becomes,

He could survive.

Even if there's a day he'd die, he'd live brilliantly enough before dying—stirring up a big commotion to account for this short yet splendid life.

"Let's head back."

"Huh? Oh, alright, Master Mang."

Biaozi, standing expectantly behind Master Mang, waiting for some heart-to-heart talk, had already thought of what to say, but before he could open his mouth, they were about to head back after standing there for a while.

Wasn't he called up for a heart-to-heart session?

"Master Mang, be careful."

Though several thoughts sped through his mind, Biaozi quickly responded, using his hand to block the elevator door: "I'll go feed Energy Stones into it; Master Mang, you go in first. There's a fridge nearby; standing in it is much more comfortable. Otherwise, the descent speed may cause severe weightlessness."

...

An hour later.

Everything inside the laboratory was already emptied out.

Chen Mang operated the train, and the Level 100 Drill, spinning at high speed, created a large hole in the glass dome, allowing many residents to jump down with pickaxes and start mining through the hole.

Although the glass dome was quite massive,

It could only accommodate at most 1000 residents mining simultaneously; it couldn't hold too many people.

Now, the train usually mines with a surplus of people and a shortage of ore. If you don't rush to mine, in the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, there won't be any room for you.

These three Level 4 iron mines are estimated to contain a whopping 30 million units of iron ore!

The quantity is substantial!

But after all, it's Level 4 iron ore, 1 unit of Level 4 iron ore is equivalent to 1000 units of Level 1 iron ore. The mining speed would still be much faster—not too slow.

"Tsk, tsk."

Chen Mang, sitting inside the train compartment, looked at the scene outside the train, unable to hold back a smile: "One pickaxe swing equates to acquiring dozens of units of iron ore, from 3 Level 4 mines."

"Pretty good, it'd be great if opportunities like this came more often."

He didn't find Energy Stones inside the laboratory.

It means that the energy hub maintaining the entire Train Tunnel and these lab light bulbs isn't in this lab. It's likely elsewhere.

...

After this batch of residents mined for 10 hours, a new batch of residents took over. After the second batch mined for 10 hours, another 1000 residents were swapped in.

Roughly 26 hours later.

After a continuous 26 hours of nonstop mining, these 3 Level 4 iron mines were fully extracted!

A total of 30 million units of iron ore, has already been credited!

Chen Mang looked at the total resources on the Train Panel.

"40.21 million units of iron ore, 2.19 million units of copper ore, 2.47 million units of wood, 4.48 million units of Red Heart Rock."

Never been so wealthy.

Never.

This Train Tunnel opportunity, combined with Mondo's tricks, directly brought the ore reserves inside the train to astronomical numbers.

...

"Today is a good day, a very good day..."

The fully loaded Constant Star Train returned again into the Train Tunnel, heading along the tunnel back to the blue region "Crisis Valley."

But inside the train compartment, Chen Mang couldn't help but start humming a little tune.

The upturned angle of his mouth was impossible to control.

Almost stretching to his ears.

An uncontrollable happiness.

He wasn't someone overly expressive with his emotions; he always believed he could keep his emotions highly restrained, that if he didn't want to show them, leakage wouldn't occur.

But...

He now realized that after suddenly striking wealth, one couldn't control themselves.

"Once we're back, offer three sticks of incense to Heaven!"

"Craft the three finest cigars!"

"Indulge for once, have Mr. Li get some cattle, sheep, pigs, or something, slaughter them for a good meal for everyone."

"Train Captain..."

Ai commented quietly: "The train no longer has just over a hundred people; there are more than 5000 people now, even if several cattle and sheep are slaughtered, not much would end up on our plates..."
