It was almost 5 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nightfall at five? That’s two hours later than before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to recall, vaguely remembering someone in the channel mentioning that the first day’s nightfall had been at six in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how much she pondered, Bai Cheng couldn’t discern any pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fog around them grew thicker, and as the sky darkened, visibility dropped even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full day of travel, the train’s fuel was nearly depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Bai Cheng was about to add coal to the boiler—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening boom shook the train, sending her stumbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that!?\" she exclaimed, quickly noticing the train’s speed dropping sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, two notifications flashed on the screen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning! Train damaged!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Durability -1%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Lady, we’ve struck a fallen tree blocking the tracks,\" Chi Yan reported after a quick assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what surprised Bai Cheng more was the fact that the train could even take damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chi Yan, can you clear it?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another boom followed. The lights flickered, and dust rained from the ceiling, causing Bai Cheng to frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Durability -1%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Lady, there are too many fallen trees. My clearing speed might not keep up with the train’s movement.\" For the first time, Chi Yan hesitated, his expression conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we have to stop, then?\" Bai Cheng rested her chin on her hand, puzzled by his reaction. \"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Lady, I’ve sensed creatures approaching. Your safety is my priority,\" Chi Yan finally said. \"I advise against clearing the trees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding dawned on Bai Cheng, and she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s it. He had his own concerns but found them hard to voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, Chi Yan had always answered directly, never speaking out of turn. He was like a true employee, maintaining reverence and respect for his superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this also proved that he was a thinking person, not just a tool or a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chi Yan,\" Bai Cheng called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This subordinate is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to be so formal. I’m not as hard to deal with as you think,\" she said after a moment of thought. \"Just focus on your duties when ordered. You can do whatever you want at other times. No need to be tense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she walked straight to the control panel and pulled the brake lever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wheels screeched against the rail tracks, and sparks flew as the train gradually slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Yan stood frozen, staring at Bai Cheng’s back, his expression shifting before he finally bowed. \"Understood, Young Lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopping was unavoidable now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chi Yan had said, even with his Elite Rank strength, he couldn’t simultaneously clear obstacles, protect the train, and ensure Bai Cheng’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silent Night had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peering out of the window, Bai Cheng only saw a gray haze. The world outside was completely swallowed by mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guessed that this time was different from before, but the surroundings hadn’t changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, one thing was certain. The night had become far more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s just beasts, we wouldn’t need to worry even if a whole pack came,\" Bai Cheng muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Chi Yan’s alert state, she feared that it wouldn’t be that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the safety period was gone, the train could take damage. Traveling at night was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a cursed system!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing her frustration, she checked the train’s status to see if the lost durability could be restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this world, the train’s life was her life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Train Durability: 98% (Repair)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relieved, Bai Cheng tapped[Repair].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Would you like to consume Iron Ingot ×2, Fine Wood ×2 to repair the train?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should’ve known...\" She rolled her eyes, realizing that if beasts attacked the train, durability would drop further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was nighttime travel off the table, but the system also prevented survivors from hiding inside the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to protect the train at night, daytime is shorter, and you can’t travel far if you sleep. This system is downright inhumane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the fine wood in the train had been used for upgrades. Now, she’d have to chop trees outside to repair it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Chi Yan. \"I need two pieces of fine wood to fix the train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Young Lady.\" He immediately opened the door, letting in a wave of damp, chilly air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Cheng turned on her flashlight, illuminating the outside as Chi Yan leaped into the mist. Only then did she grasp the true nature of this Silent Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray fog was thick, almost tangible, as if touching it would drag you into its depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither sight nor light could pierce it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fog loomed just ahead, motionless. She couldn’t see any trees around, only a bubbling marsh on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back, she noticed something odd. Unlike the surroundings, she could still see the entire train clearly, as if an invisible barrier kept the fog at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, two sharp cracks echoed from the mist. Chi Yan was seemingly unaffected by the fog as he returned with the wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repairing the train, Bai Cheng prepared dinner while Chi Yan stood guard outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set fire to nearby trees, but the flames couldn’t dispel the mist. And since this was a swamp, the fire couldn’t spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Bai Cheng felt more convinced than ever that she needed a second employee as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From trading miscellaneous supplies, she had amassed 46 white employee cards. It was a thick stack, almost like a deck of playing cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too preoccupied to check the chat channel for entertainment, Bai Cheng finished her roasted meat and focused on upgrading her dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between upgrades, she grumbled, \"If it wasn’t for this stupid Assassin Upgrade, This Lady would have a second employee by now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, instead of cutting her own hair for materials, she sliced raw meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five hundred cuts, it took two thousand more to reach Legendary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands ached, time blurred, and outside, Chi Yan’s occasional clashes with beasts echoed through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally... a golden flash appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaustion melted away as excitement lit up Bai Cheng’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the clock struck 00:00, and multiple notifications flooded the screen before she could examine her dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Channel Announcement! Congratulations on reaching Station One!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Due to a significant drop in survivors, channels will now merge.
