Chapter 37

The sky gradually began to brighten.

For the people of Senkan, this night was long.

The place they had always lived in was no more.

Family members were either dead or had directly turned into Kabane, never to return.

Even Shizukana, who had suffered the loss of her family, welcomed the end of this long night.

Therefore, for the people still surviving on Koutetsujou, today’s sunlight was particularly blinding and long-awaited.

People say that a new day is equivalent to a new beginning.

This phrase should be fully applicable to the people of Senkan.

Today, for these people who had escaped from certain death, it was also equivalent to a new beginning.

Because they not only needed to find a new place to live but also had to consider their future lives.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the iron-built Koutetsujou, which continued to travel on the railway, carrying the residents of Senkan, with the sound of the whistle, moving forward.

...

“Ugh...”

Mumei woke up under the slightly blinding sunlight.

Opening his sleepy eyes and yawning drowsily, Mumei stretched lazily.

“What a comfortable sleep.”

After a night’s rest, Mumei’s spirit was completely restored.

Then, Mumei noticed the surroundings.

Under the sunlight shining through the window, the entire carriage was quite bright.

The steam boilers were functioning.

The sound of the train moving was rumbling.

In this carriage, where the color of steel was everywhere, Mumei noticed two other breaths besides his own.

First was the boy opposite him.

Mumei didn’t remember his name, only knowing that he was a Kabane-ri like himself.

At this moment, this fellow, like Mumei, was leaning against the wall, deeply asleep, looking even more tired than himself.

In fact, if one really compared, the other must be more tired than himself.

After all, for the other, in just one night, the station they lived in had fallen, and they were no longer human, being shunned by those around them. Moreover, the other seemed to have a strange sense of justice, which must have been exhausting.

As for the other person present, they were sleeping against the door leading to the front carriage.

Mumei was quite interested in this person.

Despite not being a Kabane-ri, just an ordinary human, they could kill Kabane with a more ordinary dagger.

More incredibly, Mumei, who was skilled in various combat techniques, could see that this person was just a novice in combat, yet was proficient in killing techniques.

In short, they knew how to kill opponents but not how to defeat them.

Moreover, from this person, Mumei repeatedly felt a strange thrill.

That thrill was almost telling Mumei...

“Don’t underestimate him, or you will definitely be killed by him...”

This was one of the reasons Mumei was interested in this person.

Looking so weak, yet always giving him a dangerous feeling, how could one not be curious?

“First time meeting such a person...”

Saying this, Mumei was about to stand up but felt a bit dizzy and weak.

“Ah...” Mumei immediately understood his condition.

“I’m hungry...”

Yes.

He was hungry.

If he calculated carefully, Mumei hadn’t eaten since yesterday.

“Can’t keep this up...”

Mumei’s amber eyes gradually turned a deep red.

Then, Mumei cast his gaze forward.

To the human who had piqued his curiosity.

Then, Mumei slowly walked over.

...

Compared to Mumei and Seikoma, Furi was actually more exhausted.

Mumei’s fatigue came from his physical condition, which was uncontrollable, but he himself hadn’t expended much energy.

Seikoma’s fatigue came from the shock to his spirit, the loss of his family and the change in his existence, which left him mentally and physically drained.

As for Furi, it was simply due to excessive physical exertion.

From the fall of Senkan, Furi had hardly rested, experiencing multiple battles, even massacres, killing over a hundred Kabane, which was a significant toll.

After that, Furi had to stand against the samurai of Senkan to protect Mumei and Seikoma, and then face Kurou Kunitachi, whose overall strength was superior to his own. Saying he was tired was an understatement.

However, the rewards were certainly gratifying.

Not only had all the main missions been completed, allowing him to return to the space for evaluation and rewards, but he had also earned a staggering 29,700 exchange points, nearly 30,000 points, which could be considered a bountiful return.

According to the guidance provided by the main space, the main god’s messenger would receive additional benefits during their first副本 world, which was reflected in the earning of exchange points.

For Furi, killing one Kabane earned him 100 exchange points, a benefit that would not continue after the first副本 world.

This made Furi repeatedly grateful.

Grateful for being endowed with the talent of the Dead Apostle’s Eye.

Without the Dead Apostle’s Eye, Furi would have to humbly curry favor with the original protagonist Seikoma, treating him like a god, to get him to help create the Kanzu and provide the jet bullets, and then he could earn exchange points by killing Kabane.

Of course, even with the means to kill Kabane, one still had to fight to truly kill them.

This was a very difficult hurdle for newbies entering the main space for the first time.

After all, even if you were given a gun, if you didn’t know how to use it, aiming would be a problem, let alone other factors.

Due to his innate personality defect, Furi was not afraid of death, not afraid of fighting, not hesitant to take risks, and not worried about consequences. Combined with his abnormal sensitivity to death, his killing techniques came naturally, and he easily overcame this hurdle.

Therefore, Furi’s rewards were so gratifying.

For another newbie, completing all the main missions in the first副本 world would already be a good achievement.

This kind of reward naturally required a lot of effort from Furi. After all the matters were settled, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

In a somewhat drowsy state, Furi sensed it.

Someone was approaching him.
