System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 556 - 287: "It’s natural for insects to be good at digging, it also makes sense."_2

Chapter 556: Chapter 287: "It’s natural for insects to be good at digging, it also makes sense."_2

He finally understood what it meant by getting a seat at the table as mentioned in the Civilization Order, and also realized the outcome of getting to the table too early.

After a long while.

Chen Mang finally pulled himself together, muttering somewhat dazedly, "This Insect Race Civilization is completely unreasonable; they can designate random wormholes over a wide area without even probing any coordinates, just forcing it!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Once they hit one, they go all out."

"Is the manufacture of wormholes really that cheap? Although the information from the Mechanical Civilization said the Insect Race Civilization’s strongest means are Burst Soldier and mass cheap wormhole creation, isn’t this a bit too mass-produced?"

"No wonder the Mechanical Civilization couldn’t win. With these wormholes, what civilization could prevail? Thinking about it, the Mechanical Civilization holding out for over two hundred years is quite impressive."

"Actually, it does make sense, Train Captain."

Inside the train cabin, Ai’s weak voice came: "After all, ’wormholes’ are associated with the ’Insect Race Civilization’ by name; it’s not surprising they have this ability. Bugs are naturally adept at tunneling, which is reasonable."

"Reasonable my ass."

"But Train Captain, I found out why our wormhole radar can detect the birth of wormholes thousands of light-years away."

"It’s because the Insect Race Civilization deliberately exposed the wormhole coordinates and transmitted the information to all civilizations in the nearby region."

"Intimidation?"

"Yes, intimidation, making every civilization aware that upgrading to a Level 1 civilization in this region leads to such a fate. They will destroy such a civilization at any cost and as quickly as possible to prevent any threat from emerging."

"It seems the Insect Race Civilization must know there are many civilizations in this area."

"They naturally do, but as long as these civilizations don’t upgrade to Level 1, they haven’t really taken a seat at the table. There are so many second-rate civilizations that the Insect Race Civilization couldn’t possibly clean them all up one by one."

"And if I didn’t have the ’wormhole radar,’ wouldn’t they be winking at a blind man?"

"If a civilization can’t even receive the information, it won’t be upgrading to a Level 1 civilization anytime soon, so there’s no worry."

"Civilization upgrade..."

Chen Mang leaned back in his chair, lighting a cigarette, and looked thoughtfully at the Star System Map on the screen. He didn’t know what good would come from upgrading a civilization but wondered if he could just keep upgrading the train instead. Upgrading a civilization sounded very dangerous.

Once upgraded, you become the enemy of all.

The Star System Map could only detect up to ten thousand light-years around.

In the left third of the area, countless dark red planets were forming a star chain and gathering there; those planets were the domain of the Insect Race Civilization, marked with the Civilization Mark.

Just now, that "Heaven-Slaying Civilization" was the one that upgraded in this area.

That’s part of the Insect Race’s main base, likely more of it beyond the map.

His location was right behind this main base, gathered with a bunch of insignificant small civilizations.

"Well, actually, it’s not too bad."

Chen Mang looked at the Star System Map: "The Insect Race Civilization is certainly still in a state of war with some civilization. We will head toward the Seven-Color Region after leaving Water Blue Star, slowly mining the mineral star behind the Insect Race’s main base, and then head towards the right side of the map."

"If you can’t fight them, avoiding them should work."

"Forget about the home planet; just live on the train. You see how dangerous it is to have a base. At any moment, one main cannon shot ends it. We’ll just drift in the universe, becoming a wandering civilization until we grow strong enough to strike back."

"Sleep!"

Chen Mang got up, headed to the shower to wash up, then proceeded to his bed. Even if the sky were falling, he’d sleep first. Panicking wouldn’t help; developing as fast as possible was the only option.

If tomorrow indeed comes.

Then dying is just dying.

What can you do?

This thing makes no sense, even the King of Heaven would die here. Without the ’wormhole radar,’ he wouldn’t even have known he was always sitting on a powder keg. He was pondering, with the universe so vast, where should he head after leaving Water Blue Star?

No need to think now.

Escape, then.

What follows is a grand escape journey; the universe is vast, yet there’s no place for him.

Curse the Insect Race. He hated those damned bugs since he was a kid; one day, he would surround the Insect Race Civilization within his domain, making them feel the helplessness he felt.

"Eh?"

Then, Chen Mang suddenly noticed a residential planet on the Star System Map seemed to be moving?

Immediately, he walked from the bedside to the screen.

"Magnify the Star System Map of this area."

Upon careful inspection.

A residential planet of the "Qi Tian Civilization" was rapidly fleeing in the opposite direction of the Insect Race Civilization.

"Is it... running away?"

Chen Mang looked at the planet on the screen with a strange expression, apparently still thinking that having no base was better, as even escaping meant taking the entire planet, which was exhausting.

"But why are they all called Heaven-Slaying Civilization, Qi Tian Civilization, with all these jumbled names, don’t they have their racial names?"

"Like Insect Race Civilization, Human Civilization, and the like."

"They don’t dare to."

Ai’s voice sounded again in the train cabin: "The Mechanical Civilization also technically qualifies as a Human Civilization, but the universe can only have one grand-ranking civilization. If the Mechanical Civilization dared to call itself ’Human Civilization,’ the original ’Human Civilization’ might invade to destroy the Mechanical Civilization, ensuring the authenticity and uniqueness of its civilization."

"Ensuring authenticity is crucial, as it can prove one’s civilization’s strength merely by its name and attract a large number of Human Civilization adherents to pledge allegiance, thus enhancing the unity and cohesion of one’s civilization members."
