At 8 o'clock on January 26, the silver-white train, as dazzling as the one on the ticket, roared in. It passed 32 carriages in front of their eyes, and then stopped firmly at the C15 underground station. On the platform.
There were only two of them and a dog alone on the platform. It seemed that they were the only two freshmen admitted to the Zombie Research Academy in these backward areas.
A row of spotlights suddenly lit up on the platform, instantly illuminating the silver-white train. Su Yu saw the ten big characters written in dark red font on the car body - Zombie Research Institute Express.
With a "ding" sound, the door of carriage No. 32 slowly opened in front of the two of them, and the cold male voice sounded again:
Freshmen of the Zombie Research Academy are asked to get on the train immediately. The academy train will stay at this station for 5 minutes.
Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng looked at each other and stepped forward quickly.
When the two of them entered, their hand screens made a beeping sound.
A gentle female voice came from the top of the head: "Hey, freshman No. 6539, Su Yu, is in the box 1 of Car 32. Please swipe your gene ID to enter the box; beep, freshman No. 6528, Zhao Dacheng, is in Box 5, Car 32, please swipe your gene ID. Enter the box.”
Su Yu took the lead in finding Box 1 according to the instructions, and Zhao Dacheng walked a few more steps inside before reaching his Box 5.
The two of them swiped their mobile screens, and the box door opened.
"See you later at dinner." Su Yu waved to Zhao Dacheng and led Xiaowei into his box.
Su Yu never imagined that the private room on the college train would have such a gorgeous and spacious layout. It was actually twice as big as the narrow room he lived in in District C18. The facilities inside are also complete, with independent bathrooms and clean toilets separated separately. A single bed that is spacious enough occupies most of the box, and there is a desk and seat by the window on the other side.
Although they were driving underground, the bright lights made Su Yu ignore it.
Even the special trains of the college can be so exquisite. Su Yu was looking forward to how luxurious the college dormitory he stayed in would be.
She suddenly remembered Zhao Dacheng's expression with bright eyes at the wonton stall just now. Yes, they were out of the backward area. They don't know what kind of things will be waiting for them in Central City ahead, but in the end, it's probably a good thing.
Su Yu took off his backpack and put it on the table. Just as he was about to turn around, a quick ringing sound rang.
She looked at her phone screen, but there was no call coming in. She looked around and realized that the sound was coming from a phone hanging at the door.
Su Yu walked over and picked it up, and the gentle female voice came from inside: "Is this student No. 6539 Su Yu, the freshman?"
"it's me."
"The train detected that you brought your pet on the train. Is it true?"
"Yes, this is the lost fighting dog of the college's demon hunting team. The captain I met on the road asked me to bring it up." Su Yu answered truthfully.
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said: "Student Su Yu, we have verified the situation for you. The train crew hopes that you can help bring the combat dog to the academy. All its expenses will be borne by the train crew. You can take it to Eat in the pet dining area. On behalf of the college, we thank you for your care."
"Okay, no problem." Su Yu looked at Xiaowei at his feet and happily agreed.
The phone hung up with a beep. Su Yu knelt down and patted Xiaowei's big head: "Great, you can always follow me."
Xiaowei also let out a "woof" happily.
Su Yu stood up and opened the bathroom door: "You have suffered a lot from following me. Let's go and give you a bath first."

During lunch time, Zhao Dacheng knocked on Su Yu's door.
As soon as the door opened, a big black dog with shiny fur jumped out. Xiaowei became more energetic after some cleaning. He even wore a custom-made collar and leash sent by a special train on his chest. A shiny gold sign hung on his chest with a few words clearly written on it - —Xiaowei, No. 1, pet dining area.
Zhao Dacheng was stunned for a while: "The service of this college train is really good."
Su Yu smiled and said: "You should be treated like a high-level combat dog."
The dining car is in Car No. 58 in the middle of the train and is the longest and largest car.
Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng walked all the way and found that all the carriages passing by were empty. Even the No. 32 carriage they were in seemed to be unoccupied. Sure enough, the two of them were the first students to get on the bus.
Every student has a fixed seat in the dining car. Although Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng's numbers are not next to each other, they are still on the same table. Su Yu took Xiaowei to the pet dining area at the back and handed him over to the train staff. Its rice has been prepared early and placed in an exquisite food bowl. The portion is large and it looks very appetizing.
Apart from the busy staff, there were only two people in the entire dining car, Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng. From the staff, they learned that the dining car is divided into three areas, the general area, the self-paid area and the pet area.
The general area is free for all students and provides one meat and two vegetarian meals for each meal. In the self-paid area, you can order what you want to eat. The quality of the food is better, but of course you need to bear the cost. The pet area is also very large. It seems that the college should allow students to bring pets, which makes Su Yu a little relieved.
Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng were short of money now, so they naturally ate in the general area. The meat dish for lunch today is shredded pork with green pepper, the two vegetarian dishes are tofu and cabbage, and the staple food is rice. Being able to eat such a meal would make two people very satisfied.
The train was running smoothly and at high speed underground, with the unchanging underground tunnel scene beside the windows. Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng didn't know where the train had gone, but they heard an announcement in the evening that the train had stopped in Area C10 for 20 minutes.
The college special train became lively after this stop. Many students boarded the train at the C10 area station. In addition to the freshmen who were admitted this year, there were also seniors who went home for the winter vacation.
Car No. 32, where the two of them are sitting, has six private rooms, and five freshmen are now occupied.

Su Yu's days on the special train became carefree.
The entire special train has more than a hundred carriages. In addition to accommodation carriages like carriage No. 32, there are also various fitness carriages, library carriages, self-study carriages, entertainment carriages, etc., which are free and open to all students. In addition, if you are willing to spend some money, you can upgrade to a luxury box or even request box meal delivery service.
Sure enough, you have to have C coins everywhere.
But just these free and open projects have given Su Yu plenty to do every day.
Su Yu still knows very little about this world, and his original body is also a bit frail and thin. So in addition to eating every day, she reads in the library carriage, and when she gets tired from reading, she goes to exercise. Such a life is unthinkable in the C18 area.
Xiaowei is very adaptable to life on the train, and most of the time he is even more familiar with the entire train than Su Yu. Sure enough, this combat dog, which belonged to the college's predator hunting unit, felt as comfortable on the special train as it did at home.
