Chapter 656 - 313 Challenge_2
This was still because the Orient Express’s top speed was limited to 120 kilometers per hour, with conventional trains having an even lower average speed.
The Spider Train had two main tactics: small spiders and spider silk. It wasn’t clear if it had any other abilities.
Upon successful completion of the challenge, everything would return to normal, Lin Wu would be resurrected without any loss, and the stationmaster would grant the trio an electronic map. In addition to showing the location of the Orient Express, the electronic map could display all the switches within 500 meters.
There was also bad news; the stationmaster informed the three that the total number of Spider Trains wasn’t just one, but 42. Each train had its own target, and after eliminating its target, they would transform into patrol trains, working together with other Spider Trains to corner the players’ trains.
Despite the vast spider rail network and the lengthy tracks, the stationmaster still kindly reminded the trio to be on the alert for the Spider Trains’ patrol soldiers.
Following the bad news was some good news: damaging the Spider Train or destroying the small spiders could potentially yield some items. Apart from armor-piercing rounds, there were also accessories that could be installed on the train carriages, such as anti-spider nets. Once these accessories were obtained, they could be installed during a stop at a factory station by the train conductor.
Aside from factory stations, there were many other functional stations. For example, medical stations that could restore all personnel to full health and food stations that could increase satiety by 50%. According to the map, functional stations made up 10% of all the minor stations, while the remaining 90% were marked by question marks. Only after passing the minor stations or using certain items could their functions be illuminated on the electronic map.
The stationmaster specifically explained that among all the question mark stations, there was a resurrection station, but it could only resurrect players who died on the last day, not those who had perished on earlier days.
