Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 530 The system has a bug?

"But the priest realized that this ritual was too evil. Violence, killing, and sensual pleasures—these are the energies that nurture gods. Even if those with good wills ascend to power, their wills will be corrupted—after all, they have a history of this. Hundreds of years ago, they fell into becoming slaves to evil gods in this way."

“We also considered not holding the ceremony. As a result, the benevolent wills suffered a severe blow, and the floating island mechanism that had lasted for hundreds of years outside was destroyed.”

There was a deep despair in Jiao's tone: "We are being farmed; from the very beginning, we had no option to resist."

Realizing this, the priest stopped thinking about resisting and only hoped to leave a spark of life.

He began screening young people, especially those who came to the Holy City from outside.

Young people in the city, due to the social atmosphere, have long developed a sense of superiority and have not experienced setbacks and hardships, making them unsuitable to lead the ship of the new world.

Jiao was one of the young men chosen by the priest.

Over the years, they have spent a great deal of money to build this ark inside the Holy City.

When the gluttonous beasts came to harvest their farm, they sent a carefully selected group of intelligent and well-behaved children to this refuge.

The spiritual energy that those young people had been able to gather over the years was used as fuel to maintain the shelter.

The gluttonous beast and the evil god will eventually clash, so it will not linger here.

Once the Gluttonous Beasts are gone, they will activate the sanctuary, which is essentially a ship.

"And then, where is your destination?" Su Li asked.

“This is your home, Brother Suli.” Jiao said expectantly, “Brother Suli, didn’t you say you came from another city? The priest said that if anyone is still alive, they are most likely on the other side of the planet, at the highest peak of that world.”

Zuli was drenched in sweat. He had only made up a story, but he never expected it would become the indigenous people's lifeline.

"Brother Suli, you're back now, that's wonderful!" Jiao's face was filled with simple joy. "Before, we didn't know when the new evil god would arrive. So we didn't try to keep you. Now the disaster brought by the new evil god is over. Brother Suli, please, take us to your homeland."

[Can I fucking take you to my house? You bunch of phantoms from the past! Once you leave this fragment of world, you'll vanish!]

Su Li was starting to feel uneasy. She could only promise, "No rush, let's go see the evil god first, then we'll take you back."

Jiao panicked. "Brother Su Li, don't go there! We estimated that this ceremony would last for several more years before it began. That's why we gave you the address of the evil god. Now that a new evil god has been born, the old evil god will definitely make a move. It's too dangerous there!"

"...Is it possible that we went there to take care of the old evil god?"

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. That’s an evil god born from the fusion of the souls of hundreds of millions of people. It’s beyond human power to rival.” Jiao shook his head repeatedly. “You underestimate the evil god too much.”

"Is it possible that we just killed a new evil god?"

Jiao laughed, but as he laughed, seeing that Su Li wasn't joking at all, his smile gradually froze. "Are you serious?"

"Okay. Lily, bring me your necklace."

"Oh~"

Sun Lili threw her necklace over directly, and Su Li caught it and placed it in front of the reef.

Jiao looked at the necklace, sensed the aura emanating from it, and his expression shifted from confusion to shock, then to ecstatic joy. "Amazing! Brother Su Li, you...you really killed that evil god!"

"They're not going to stop us from going to the evil god's side anymore?"

“We won’t stop it anymore. Since there’s a possibility of defeating the evil god, there’s no need to run away.” Jiao smiled, but tears streamed down his face. “We, we all know that unless the evil god is eliminated, our shelter plan is just a false hope. We don’t know when the evil god will easily destroy us. But now, I finally see real hope.”

Jiao's shoulders and hands trembled with excitement, and his three eyes were red with emotion. He grabbed Su Li's hands and said, "Brother Su Li, take me there! There are some ruins from before the apocalypse where the evil god is. I've learned how to operate these machines in books. Take me there; maybe I can be of some help!"

"No need, it's too dangerous." Su Li shook her head. "You take good care of these little ones, leave the fighting to us."

"How about that? I..."

“Listen to me.” Su Li pressed down on the reef of excitement. “Everyone has their own duty. I am a warrior, and the task history has given me is to defeat the evil god. And you, your task is to take care of the spark of civilization.”

"You don't have the power to fight against the evil god. In the end, you might be controlled by the evil god and cause trouble for us from within!"

Su Li's words stunned Jiao, whose hands clenched into fists, veins bulging.

He remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, a sigh that bent his spine. "I understand."

"Good that you understand." Su Li patted Jiao on the shoulder.

The atmosphere fell silent as Jiao ate his meal in quiet contemplation.

After the meal, Jiao found Su Li. "Brother Su Li, we can't help you with the battle, but let us help you with other things. After you killed the new evil god, what were you looking for when you entered this place? A map? Or some technology?"

As Su Li pondered their next move, she heard Jiao's words and casually replied, "We're here to find the treasure chest."

Upon hearing this, Su Li paused for a moment, then said, "Never mind, it's nothing."

He suddenly realized that these phantoms of the natives couldn't see the treasure chests. Back in the Misty City World, when Su Li opened a treasure chest in front of the natives, he also had the head-smashing buff from Old Deng, the pioneer.

The treasure chest, the items inside, and the golden light from Old Deng's head-smashing attack—none of the natives could see them.

So talking to the reef was useless.

"A treasure chest?" Jiao was taken aback, then said, "You mean a chest made of gold and silver, one meter long and half a meter wide?"

"We do have such treasure chests. These things suddenly appeared in our shelter a few days ago. We tried a lot of things, but we couldn't open them."

Su Li stopped moving.

The indigenous people overlooked the treasure chest because it was so interesting that Zurich even looked it up.

The information explains that the system's interference with the indigenous people is a cognitive filter that allows them to rationalize various transportation routes, roads, railways, and other infrastructure created by the system's power.

Treasure chests are not included in this category because treasure chests are real, while natives are illusions, they are unreal and do not require system intervention. The unreal cannot perceive the real.

On the contrary, the players, who are also real, are only able to communicate with the virtual natives after being interfered with by the system's power.

Now, the reef is aware of the treasure chest. What does this mean?

This means that the reef is not a mere illusion. It is a real, existing entity.

Su Li jumped to her feet, her face filled with shock. [The system has malfunctioned?!]
