The train had been running continuously for 17 years on a 4,300 km long track. In that time, the train had become a small world of its own. It had fresh vegetable farms, an aquarium with sea creatures, freezers for meat, and even a private clinic. But over time, the gap between the rich and poor kept growing. The people living at the front of the train were rich. They ate at expensive restaurants, their children studied in good schools, and they lived comfortable lives. Meanwhile, the people at the back were extremely poor. They lived in the last dark car and did hard labor. Every day, they were given protein cake, and they had been eating the same thing for 17 years. When one man asked for meat, the soldiers pulled his hand outside the train. Within moments, his hand froze like ice, and they smashed it with a hammer. Now, the people had lost their patience. An agent named Jack prepared all the poor people for a rebellion. They collected iron drums. When the soldiers came to deliver food, Jack grabbed one of their guns. He pulled the trigger, but there were no bullets in it. Seeing this, everyone stood up. They blocked the door with the drums and defeated the soldiers. As they moved forward, they met a programming expert named Wang Anan, who could open the train's electronic doors. His daughter could sense things from 20 meters away. Anan opened the next door. The moment they looked outside the window, everyone was shocked. The entire world was covered in thick snow, and there was silence everywhere. In the next car, an old man was working on a machine. It was actually a factory that made protein cakes. When Jack climbed up, he discovered that the protein cakes they had been eating for the past 17 years were made from cockroaches. Jack questioned the cook, when suddenly a mysterious capsule fell from his hand. Inside was a piece of paper with the word "water" written on it. They thought it was pointing toward the car that produced water. They reached the place. As Anan was about to open the door, his daughter sensed that something strange was behind them, but it was already too late. As soon as the door opened, hundreds of masked people appeared with axes. Then their leader was given a live fish. He cut open the fish's belly with an axe, and the next moment, a brutal fight began. When the masked men started losing, they suddenly began chanting. Then they put on night vision goggles, and all the lights in the car went out. At the same time, the train entered a long, dark tunnel. In the darkness, the poor people became helpless and started falling one by one. Then Jack remembered that Anan had given them some matches. One after another, people lit the matches and slowly the entire car became bright. As soon as the lights came on, their courage returned and they defeated the masked men. After leaving the tunnel, they captured the female leader of the enemies. Finally, they took control of the train's water supply car, but more than half of their companions had been killed in the fight. The old man told Chris not to go any further, but Chris believed they had to reach the train's engine. So, the old man kept most of the people there and sent Chris forward with only four others. They were shocked when they saw the cars ahead. There was plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, all kinds of meat, and seafood for the rich. Seeing such good food, Chris angrily told the woman to eat the black protein cake. It tasted like cockroaches. After passing the food area, they entered a classroom. The rich children were receiving an excellent education there, while the poor children at the back had never even seen a school. Just then, a bald man arrived with a cart full of hot boiled eggs and said, "This is a New Year's gift." He said he was going to distribute them among the poor.
