Chapter 233: Chapter 156: "Doomsday Wedding".
"But since you’re married now, you’re not allowed to go to the Red House anymore."
Upon hearing this, Mountain Cat’s expression instantly became anxious. He said hurriedly, "Pig Train Captain, you can’t say such things carelessly. I’ve never been there. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Biao. Biao can testify for me. I’ve never been there, not even once!"
"Mei Jia, you have to believe me, I really haven’t been there!"
The Red House is a refrigerator in the Resident Carriage of the Fixed Star Train, where residents selling meat gather to entertain guests.
A red cloth is draped outside the refrigerator, serving as a sign.
The residents playfully call it the Red House.
Mei Jia blushed as she leaned against Mountain Cat’s shoulder, her eyes filled with a subtle anticipation for tomorrow’s wedding. After secretly pinching Mountain Cat’s waist, she whispered softly, "Honestly, it’s okay if you go, I don’t mind."
"Ouch!"
Mountain Cat winced from the pain, then raised his voice in apparent urgency, "Pig Train Captain, where’s Biao? I need to find Biao to testify for me. I really haven’t been there!"
"What do you mean it’s okay if I go? I’ve never been there!"
"Alright, alright."
Old Pig chuckled and patted Mountain Cat’s shoulder again, looking at Mei Jia with a helpless expression, "He really hasn’t been there. I’m just teasing him. He spends all his time training, so don’t bring it up again."
"I just noticed he seemed a bit nervous and wanted to lighten the mood."
"Your task tonight is to rest well and present yourself in good shape at tomorrow’s wedding. Other trains are coming to join the feast, so show your charm in front of outsiders."
"Um..."
Mountain Cat hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "How about the ritual of honoring the elders?"
"Just honor the Fixed Star train at that time."
"Okay."
After this little episode, the couple seemed less nervous as they walked into the train, with only faint voices carried to Old Pig by the evening breeze.
"Mei Jia, I really haven’t been there, truly."
"I believe you."
"Really believe me?"
"Yeah, remember our first meeting on the Fixed Star? You were quick; it’s normal to be quick after a long time without."
"Damn, you might as well not believe me, geez!"
"Never mind... I’ll bring some nuts tomorrow night."
Standing still, Old Pig nostalgically watched their departing figures. It truly is wonderful to witness such moments during Doomsday—it’s not easy. For these two, Doomsday has become more like a paradise.
Not to mention that the frozen disease has been cured, and their wedding is being arranged, with Master Mang even providing a wedding room.
Indeed.
Such treatment was unimaginable before Doomsday.
...
The next day—
The Azure Dragon train met with two other level 6 trains on the Shahe Plain in advance, preparing to attend the wedding together.
The three train captains discussed on the plain.
"Remember."
Er Dan looked seriously at the other two train captains, "This wedding invitation was originally meant only for me. Seeing how well we usually get along, I agreed to introduce you both."
"Once we’re there, try to talk less, listen more, and just be spectators."
"Absolutely avoid any misunderstandings—don’t damn drop a gun while clapping and tell me it’s reasonable to carry a gun as a train captain."
"Understood?"
"Understood." The Train Captain of Only Love One pledged with a serious expression, "You know me. In my view, there are only three types of people."
"Ants, peers, and seniors."
"When facing seniors, I’m extremely respectful. That Fixed Star train is undoubtedly a senior, and I definitely won’t provoke them."
Then he suddenly laughed awkwardly.
"Well... if I flatter them like you, could I get some benefits too?"
"That’s what I’m thinking too." agreed the Train Captain of Ten Steps, One Kill, eyes gleaming with excitement, "They have so many Supermodel Effects, surely there are plenty of Murphy Stones. Could they toss a Murphy Stone to us as a reward?"
"..."
Er Dan glared at them without amusement, "With those names for your trains, I can’t even bring myself to criticize. Wait, I’ve always wondered—do you guys ever fight over who owns ’One Person’?"
"Murphy Stones, dream on!"
"You’re just going to see the world, and maybe get a free meal. As for connecting with Chen Mang afterward, that’s up to your skills, but looking at you two, it’s unlikely, like beggars."
"However..."
Er Dan licked his lips, gazing at them earnestly, "The reason I’m taking you to the wedding is because, like me, you’re cautious and won’t cause trouble."
They exchanged a glance, both seeing the humor in each other’s eyes.
"I became the captain of a level 6 train just by having one strong trait: being cautious enough."
"Same here."
"Alright, let’s board and get ready to depart."
...
The sun hung high in the sky.
It was noon.
"..."
Chen Mang glanced at the control panel screen and noticed the three trains when they were over 10,000 meters away. He immediately turned to Ai and instructed, "Have everyone get ready; the missiles and Sakura Fall Rocket Cannon can be deployed now."
"Get the mechas down and moving."
"Start everything up."
"Okay."
He then got up and went to the mirror to check his outfit for the day. He had redesigned his attire; the weather was colder, and while the previous clothes had good lock temperature effects, they were still a bit breezy.
He wore an orange sweater on top and plain pants on the bottom.
A rather casual ensemble.
"Hmm..."
"How does it go? ttod? Or was it ctod?"
"Whatever, can’t remember, all mixed up."
...
"What?"
The Train Captain of Only Love One twitched his lips slightly as he looked at the Target Detection Radar, which showed over a thousand red dots ahead. He knew there’d be plenty of slaves on this train!
After all, it’s the top leader on three lists in the Shahe Plain.
On the Influence Value Rankings, Supermodel Effect Quantity Rankings, Reputation Value Rankings—Fixed Star takes the undisputed first place, and the gap with second place is substantial.
Especially the Supermodel Effect Quantity Rankings.
He highly suspected that even in the yellow zone, they’d still rank first; not even that Flesh and Blood Train could gather so many Murphy Stones.
Where on earth did they manage to get them!
Soon—
He spotted a train resembling a mechanical dragon stopping on the wasteland, surrounded by over a thousand slaves energetically preparing the feast with smiles and excitement.
Though Er Dan mentioned the good treatment of the Fixed Star slaves,
this was a bit much...
At least he had never seen his own slaves working while smiling.
"Wait..."
The man suddenly froze, seeing the Fixed Star train’s missiles and rocket cannons, heavy machine guns, and Doomsday Cannon unknowingly aimed at his train.
"Don’t do it, buddy; I’m here for the wedding, not the funeral."
"You got me really scared there..."
But soon.
The weapons shifted direction again, evidently without malicious intent, allowing the man to breathe a sigh of relief, gradually slowing his train and parking it about one hundred meters from the Fixed Star train.
Then he jumped off, bringing his trusted men forward with big strides, all smiles toward the young man standing before the Fixed Star train.
That man, with a cane in hand, must be Chen Mang.
He seemed quite amiable.
Not putting on airs, much to his surprise—they didn’t even have to wait outside for a bit.
Odd, for someone who’s ranked first in three categories to be so approachable?
...
"Welcome from afar."
Chen Mang looked at Er Dan and the two men beside him with a smile, "And these two are Er Dan’s friends, right?"
"Food and drinks are plentiful today."
"Why not let others from your trains come down and join in the fun?"
"Better not..."
Er Dan replied helplessly, "Just a brief encounter last time. After returning, I already felt their gazes shifting. If they come down again for longer, I’d reckon they’d turn traitor."
"It’s not about poor treatment, rather the comparison."
"Actually, I’ve treated them well enough, but there’s no comparing with yours."
