Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

Chen Ye's gaze swept across the platform. Most of the people at the top of the ranking list had arrived. Gu Qinghuan, Lei Xing, and Li Tianran had also returned and were standing on the platform in front of their respective carriages.

"They've almost all returned, but where's Tang Jingxin's group?"

Su Jin glanced around the platform but didn't see Tang Jingxin.

Chen Ye remained silent, and Zhao Hai and the others naturally didn't say anything more.

Wen Ning's gaze lingered on Chen Ye's face for a moment.

Then Chen Ye and Su Jin led their respective teams to the platform in front of their respective carriages.

Wen Ning didn't follow Chen Ye, but instead joined Su Jin's group. There was still plenty of time before departure, so she wasn't in a hurry.

Chen Ye and his six companions stood at the edge of platform number three.

Qin Zhaoyang looked around: "I haven't seen Li Jiahao and the other two either, and Jiang Ning hasn't returned either. Could they all be dead?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared in the direction of the platform entrance.

Li Jiahao appeared at the platform entrance.

The people with him were not his two underlings, but Jiang Ning and Jian Lan.

A group of three walked in from the platform entrance.

Qin Zhaoyang's gaze swept back and forth between the three people twice, then he lowered his voice and whispered in Chen Ye's ear, "How did they end up together? Where are Ma Wenbo and Sun Kai? Are they dead?"

"I don't know." Chen Ye shook his head. "Their level was low to begin with, so it wouldn't be surprising if they died."

Just then, the system panels of everyone in the station popped up simultaneously, with blue light screens rising and falling in the gray-white skylight.

Chen Ye glanced down at his control panel.

[This trial has ended!]

Name: Chen Ye

Survival Rating: Level A

[Kill Points: 3070]

Survival Points: 200

The Death Train will depart in 2 hours. Please return to the train in time to claim your reward!

Countdown: 1:59:59

3270 points!

At this rate, 10,000 points will only take two or three trials, and the S-level skill selection chest seems within reach.

Chen Ye turned off the control panel and waited for the train doors to open.

On the platform not far away in front of carriage number eight, Lei Xing looked at the points on the panel in front of him and smiled slightly: "I should be able to reach level ten after the settlement."

Li Tianran stood next to him, glanced at the panel casually, and then turned it off.

He looked up toward the station entrance, his gaze lingering on the empty platform entrance for two seconds: "The trial is over, but Tang Jingxin hasn't returned yet."

"Are you still grinding for points until the last minute? That's a bit greedy."

Lei Xing glanced at Li Tianran, a dismissive smile playing on his lips.

"No." Li Tianran shook his head: "The underground insect nest has a complex terrain, and no one would wait until the trial is over to come out. If they haven't returned by now, something must have happened."

"What could possibly happen? Are there any insects here that could pose a life-threatening threat to Tang Jingxin? Even if she encounters a powerful monster, she can always run away if she can't win."

Lei Xing's smile faded slightly.

"It might not be bugs. Chen Ye's team in carriage number three clashed with Tang Jingxin in Infinite City. As far as I know, they have two S-level combatants in their team. Look at that tall guy who's even bigger than you, that's Zhao Hai, who's ranked eleventh on the level list. Tang Jingxin is probably going to suffer a setback."

Li Tianran's gaze swept past the crowd on the platform and landed on the platform in front of carriage number three.

Lei Xing followed his gaze.

Zhao Hai was standing to Chen Ye's right, his 1.95-meter height making him stand out in the crowd.

Lei Xing looked at it for two seconds, then shook his head: "Impossible. Chen Ye is level 6, and Zhao Hai, who is ranked eleventh on the level list, is only level 5. Even if they were together, they wouldn't be a match for Tang Jingxin, right? Tang Jingxin is level 9."

Li Tianran glanced at him sideways: "What if we add Su Jin and Wen Ning to the list? They just entered the station with Chen Ye's group."

Lei Xing paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to platform number one: "Did Tang Jingxin break some heavenly law? Are the second, sixth, tenth, and eleventh ranked individuals all going to take him down?"

Li Tianran smiled and said, "Who knows?"

at the same time.

In front of carriage number one.

Su Jin leaned against the carriage, her gaze fixed on the entrance.

Wen Ning stood next to her, holding a bottle of water and sipping it slowly.

"What are you looking at?"

Wen Ning noticed that Su Jin's gaze was fixed on the entrance.

Su Jin was silent for about two seconds before speaking: "The trial is over, but Tang Jingxin still hasn't returned."

Wen Ning nodded: "Yes, he should be dead."

"Dead?"

Su Jin turned her head to look at Wen Ning.

Wen Ning took the water bottle away from her mouth and screwed on the cap: "Yes, he's dead. It was most likely Chen Ye's team that did it. That long spear of his belonged to Tang Jingxin. Chen Ye took all the weapons and he didn't come back. There's no doubt he's dead. And the other four members of his team didn't come back either."

She and Tang Jingxin had been on the same train before, so naturally she knew more than others. That blue-quality spear was bought by Tang Jingxin with 3000 points of potion on her first trip to Infinite City.

"Chen Ye wiped out Tang Jingxin's entire team? There was a level 6 Sean in her team, how could Chen Ye kill their whole squad?"

Su Jin's eyes narrowed slightly. If what Wen Ning said was true, then this Chen Ye was somewhat terrifying.

"I'm just guessing, there could be other reasons, but I can confirm that the spear in Chen Ye's hand is indeed Tang Jingxin's."

Wen Ning wasn't entirely sure either. Chen Ye was indeed very strong, but it was a bit far-fetched for him to kill the entire team. But the fact was that Tang Jingxin and none of his four teammates had returned.

As time went on, other passengers on the platform also began to discuss it.

"Tang Jingxin and Sean haven't returned yet? They're ranked first and ninth on the leaderboard."

"Could it be that it died down there?"

"Impossible, right? Those elite monsters in the insect hive are powerful, but they shouldn't be able to kill Tang Jingxin, should they?"

"They might be lost; the terrain down there is so complicated."

The murmurs grew louder and louder, turning from whispers into a cacophony of voices.

On the platform in front of carriage number three, Chen Ye listened to the discussion without much expression on his face. It was more accurate to say that Jiang Ning killed Tang Jingxin than that he killed her.

"Click—"

The mechanical sound of the train doors sliding open echoed on the platform, interrupting the discussions taking place.

The crowd on the platform began to move, and everyone proceeded in an orderly fashion to their respective carriages.

Wen Ning, who was on platform number one, ran back to carriage number three.

"Let's go, get in the car."

Chen Ye strode toward the open door of carriage number three, with Zhao Hai and the others following closely behind.

The group returned to their respective seats.

Before sitting down, Chen Ye glanced at the row behind them. Jiang Shan, who had claimed to have been lucky enough to survive three trials when the trains merged, had not returned. However, the blond guy sitting next to Jiang Shan had returned.

He looked away, sat down in his seat, and the system panel popped up automatically.
