Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 167 On the Way Home

Su Li woke up from her deep sleep, feeling an itchy nose and a heavy feeling all over her body.

He opened his eyes groggily and found Sophia lying on top of him, teasing him with the ends of her hair in front of his nose.

Su Li grabbed Sophia's face and pushed her aside, saying, "You'll feel better when I make you sneeze all over your face."

“I can dodge very quickly.” Sophia released her grip on the blonde hair.

"It's not a matter of whether it's shiny or not, isn't the smell of saliva disgusting?" Su Li said helplessly.

Sofia wrinkled her nose. "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. I smell all over."

Su Li felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing Su Li's embarrassment, Sophia smiled slightly, "Get up, you still have to cook for Ivan and the others."

Su Li yawned and got out of bed. She wasn't sleepy, but the feeling of comfort she hadn't experienced in a long time made her feel mentally languid, even though she wasn't physically tired.

He opened his inventory shakily, took out his equipment, and put it on halfway before Su Li remembered that he was currently traveling through the void.

When traversing the void, the entire train is guided by the navigation channel. At this time, the train no longer needs to use stoves; it simply waits for ferries. Furthermore, this ferries have life-sustaining functions, ensuring that the people inside do not die from lack of oxygen.

However, we'll have to prepare our own food and water.

“I won’t wear armor today.” Su Li put down her equipment, put on her pajamas, stood on the bed, and started rummaging through the storage cabinet above. “I remember I put my old clothes here.”

"Is it okay not to wear armor?" Sophia asked with some concern. "What if someone... Ah, I'm just being paranoid."

At this moment, Sophia also realized that they were currently traveling in the void. What level of skill would someone have to be able to attack them in the void?

When you encounter someone of that skill level, whether you're wearing gear or not doesn't really matter.

"It's rare to find a time when I don't need to wear gear, so I'll just wear some ordinary clothes."

As Su Li spoke, she changed into a simple T-shirt and jeans. It had been a long time since she had dressed like this, and she felt quite nostalgic as she put it on.

It was as if all of this was just a dream he had on a sleeper train during his trip.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought. Reminiscing about the past wasn't his style.

Turning around, Zuli saw Sofia putting on her new clothes.

She wore a cool, strapless tank top with a fluffy shawl on top, looking both breezy and cute. Her lower body was clad in a short skirt and stockings.

When Su Li turned around, Mia was standing with one foot on the edge of the bed, pulling her stockings from her ankle to her thigh.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

She's so charming.

Sophia noticed Su Li's intense gaze and winked at her, "No, everyone's waiting."

Zurich had no choice but to give up, feeling regretful.

The two walked out of the bedroom and were greeted by Ivan, who was wearing armor.

The little guy, carrying a box of fruit, beamed with joy when he saw Zuli and Sofia.

He carried a large box with one hand and took out a big mango from the middle of the box. "Sister, brother-in-law, our crops have borne fruit."

"Well, at least I can finally eat the mangoes I've been craving." Su Li took the box from Ivan's hands. "Go wash your hands and change your clothes. There's no point in wearing gear here."

“That…makes sense.” Ivan understood the logic and obediently ran back to his room.

Zuli and Sofia arrived at the duty room at the front of the train, which served as their team's small living room.

Zuli put the box down, while Sofia took out the ingredients and started preparing breakfast.

With a "hiss," Sofia put the marinated snake meat into the pot. The hot oil and snake meat came into contact, releasing a unique aroma.

Sofia snapped her fingers, manipulating the wind to gather all the cooking fumes together.

Su Li also opened the wooden box to check the harvest inside.

Besides mangoes, there are also freshly picked tomatoes, strawberries, potatoes, and corn inside.

In addition, several extraordinary crops that were planted earlier have also matured and been harvested.

Red water chestnut: a medicinal herb with therapeutic effects

Blue Moonberry: A fruit with mana-restoring effects.

Storm Melon: A fruit that enhances wind-attribute damage.

Heartwort: A herb with calming effects

Tianyuan Fruit: A herb that enhances the effect of gathering Qi.

Ginseng: A medicinal herb with therapeutic effects

Sparkling fruit: It has a cooling effect after consumption.

Hot spring fruit: It has a warming effect after consumption.

These extraordinary crops can be used as a mild potion on their own. Combined with knowledge of potion-making, more powerful potions can be created.

Su Li sorted out several of the herbs, and then took out blue moonberry, storm melon, bubble fruit and hot spring fruit.

These are clearly edible fruits, and...

Su Li leaned closer and sniffed them; each fruit had a unique fragrance that was intoxicating.

“Alright, you can use these fruits as ingredients, Sophia,” Su Li decided immediately.

Sophia turned these into a secret recipe, which was both delicious and beneficial, killing two birds with one stone. The miscellaneous herbs were then given to Song Mingyu to use.

"Okay, I'll take a look at it later. After reading the book about the Kitchen God for so long, I've come up with some ideas."

Sofia walked over, rummaged through the box, and pulled out a few potatoes and corn. "You have fresh potatoes and corn, Zuli. Want some fries and popcorn?"

"I want to eat some. We have nothing else to do anyway, so let's make some extra potato chips and fries to eat while we're relaxing. I'll cut them for you."

Zuli put on an apron and started cooking for Sofia.

The younger brother, Ivan, also came over and sat down at the table, flipping through his blacksmithing manual. He still had the shield he had broken before, and he wanted to try to repair it.

His learning progressed quickly; he mastered basic forging techniques, focusing on strength and control. These were simple skills for extraordinary individuals, honed during combat training.

The real challenge lies in forging magical equipment, which involves manipulating the magical energy within the materials. My frugal younger brother plans to start by repairing equipment, making use of waste materials, and accumulating experience.

After waiting for a while, Song Mingyu finally arrived, swaying slightly. She sat down in a chair with a thud, leaning back against the chair.

Hearing the sound of a chair scraping against the floor, Su Li knew that Song Mingyu had arrived. Turning around, she saw Song Mingyu like this and couldn't help but say, "You should take care of your health while doing research. You look like a college student on summer vacation."

Su Li never went to university, but his neighbor was a college student. That guy, during summer vacation, was like a vampire, always hiding during the day and active at night, with dark circles under his eyes, making people wonder when he would die.

"Commander, your tone is just like my old man's." Song Mingyu picked up the water glass on the table and started gulping down the water. Because he drank so fast, the water overflowed from the corner of his mouth and flowed down his chin into his collar.

Song Mingyu quickly put down her water glass and boldly wiped the water off her neck with her sleeve.

"Sigh, you're such a worry. Can't you act like a responsible adult?" Su Li sighed.

He finally saw through him: this Dr. Song was a useless person who could only live to his thirties, probably thanks to the convenience of the information age.

Fortunately, she doesn't smoke or drink.

After drinking the water, Dr. Song, his face pale, clutched his head with both hands and put on a mask of pain.

"Ugh... My head hurts so much. I want to take my brain out, purify it in hydrogen peroxide, wring it out, and put it back in."

Shouldn't she not drink? Su Li looked at the dejected older woman lying on her back, suddenly drooling, and suddenly felt a little insecure.

"What happened? You look so disheveled?" Sophia asked worriedly.

Song Mingyu let out a sigh that sounded like a zombie, "When I was doing the experiment, I accidentally inhaled some smoke, and it turned out that the smoke had a stimulating effect. I was excited all night, and now the aftereffects are starting to appear."

Su Li smacked her forehead. "We didn't install an air purification and circulation system."

That's true. In the future, not only will Song Mingyu be responsible for dispensing medicine, but she will also need to make props, and Sophia will need to cook. All the necessary facilities will need to be prepared.

Su Li looked at the Magic Stove. If you have a stove, you need to get a range hood too.

Sofia sighed, placed a plate of food on the table, and said while untying her apron, "Go to sleep after you finish eating. Look at your dark circles... well, that's from the goddess, I can't tell if they've gotten worse. Anyway, staying up late is really bad for your health."

"I have healing magic, no big deal." Song Mingyu sat up straight and looked around. "Huh, I clearly heard potato chips just now? Where are they?"

"Could you please move the bear?"

Song Mingyu bent down and broke it open, and sure enough, she saw the steaming hot potato chips. She picked them up and exclaimed, "No wonder I felt so warm in my chest."

Sofia rolled her eyes.

Zuli clasped her hands together in gratitude for the hospitality.
