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

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

At the street entrance on the east side of the square, Su Jin's team emerged from the shadows of the street, each of the five members sporting a silver six-pointed star above their heads.

Many people in the square had already noticed the arrival of this group, and all eyes turned to Su Jin's team.

"Brother Ye! Su Jin's team is here!"

Qin Zhaoyang, who was dozing off leaning against the tent, was the first to jump up when he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the street.

Chen Ye also stood up from the ground and looked up towards the east.

Su Jin's gaze swept across the square before locking onto Chen Ye's direction. She led her team straight over.

Lei Xing, who had already woken up, stood up from in front of the tent and took a few steps toward Su Jin.

The leaders of the three teams gathered in the center of the square, slightly to the east.

Su Jin's gaze shifted from Chen Ye to Lei Xing, then back to Chen Ye: "You guys are pretty quick."

Chen Ye: "You're not slow either, you got two survival marks so quickly."

Su Jin: "Are you planning to wait here for what's in that mirror to come out?"

Chen Ye looked at the mirror in the center of the square: "Since Mirror City has this mechanism, we can't just hide from it. Once all 100 survival marks appear, there might be a new mechanism. The situation is unclear now, but at least there are more people gathered together."

The row of silver-white numbers above the mirror has jumped to [85/100].

Su Jin followed Chen Ye's gaze and said, "You're right."

The leaders of the three teams exchanged a few more words, and then Su Jin led his team to set up camp between Chen Ye's and Lei Xing's teams.

The three strongest teams have formed a tacit alliance, a deterrent enough to prevent anyone in the square who would attempt to kill and seize the mark from even considering any of the three teams.

As time went by, the sky began to darken.

The gray-white sky changed from bright white to dark white, from dark white to light gray, and from light gray to dark gray, with the light fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As dusk fell, the mirrored floor tiles lost their daytime reflectivity, transforming into a dull, smooth surface.

But the silvery-white six-pointed star markers on the square shone even brighter in the gradually darkening sky.

One, two, three... fifty

More and more people are leaving their mark on the square.

In the afternoon, there were fewer than thirty people with survival marks, but by dusk, there were more than fifty.

At the edge of the square, those people, whose heads were still empty, stood in the twilight like a pack of wild beasts trapped in a cage.

Their gazes swept over the heads of those with markings, growing increasingly intense and undisguised.

When it was completely dark, Jiang Ning's team arrived at the central square.

Jiang Ning was walking at the front, the six-pointed star above his head slowly rotating in the night, a thin halo of silver light spreading around his shoulders.

Jian Lan followed on his right. Wang Ze and Xia Yan walked in the middle of the group, side by side.

Huang Xuan, the tall and thin man, and Li Jiahao walked in the middle to the back of the group, while Hu Jie walked at the very back.

Of the eight people, only Li Jiahao and Hu Jie did not have any signs of survival on their heads.

From the moment Jiang Ning's team stepped into the square, they attracted the attention of many people.

With eight people and six marks, this configuration is second only to Chen Ye, Su Jin, and Lei Xing's teams in the square.

Jiang Ning ignored those gazes.

His gaze swept over the heads of nearly a hundred people in the square, locking onto the huge mirror in the center of the square and the line of silver-white numbers above the mirror.

[98/100]

Jiang Ning withdrew her gaze and turned to look in the direction of Chen Ye, Lei Xing, and Su Jin's team. The three teams were encamped less than ten meters apart.

His gaze lingered briefly in Chen Ye's direction.

Chen Ye was standing in front of the tent, in a relaxed posture.

Their eyes met from a distance of nearly a hundred meters.

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged.

There was no hostility, no probing, and no deliberate avoidance.

He glanced at Chen Ye once, then looked away.

Wang Ze walked up from the middle of the line, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, glanced in Chen Ye's direction, and then nodded slightly.

Chen Ye nodded slightly in response, and their conversation ended there.

Jiang Ning led his team to stop at the western edge of the square, about thirty meters away from Lei Xing's camp.

He did not set up camp.

The eight people stood there, spread out in a loose fan shape.

The light from the six six-pointed stars merged into one, and the gazes of those without markings were drawn in this direction as if by a magnet, but no one approached.

Hu Jie crossed his arms and scanned the entire field, from Su Jin's team to Lei Xing's team, and then from Lei Xing's team to Chen Ye's team.

Chen Ye was talking to Zhao Hai and didn't look in this direction.

Hu Jie's lips curved slightly, a very small curve that vanished in an instant.

However, Jiang Ning still caught Hu Jie's subtle expression.

Jiang Ning warned, "If you want to kill people to obtain survival marks, I advise you not to attack Su Jin, Lei Xing, and Chen Ye's teams, especially Chen Ye's team, even though there are quite a few burdens in his team."

Jiang Ning finally reached a reconciliation with Chen Ye and Zhao Hai, and now he just wants to focus on developing his skills and has no intention of getting into another conflict with Chen Ye.

Hu Jie smiled, looked away, and did not respond to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly. This Hu Jie was clearly very strong, but he never fought for survival marks. He even gave up Jian Lan's survival mark. Along the way, Hu Jie did not do anything to harm the team's interests.

But it was precisely this "non-competitive" attitude that made Jiang Ning feel uneasy.

In a world where everyone is desperately fighting for survival, it is clearly abnormal for someone to fight for nothing.

Jiang Ning glanced at Hu Jie again.

Hu Jie was looking up at the huge mirror, his face expressionless.

At that moment, the numbers that appeared on the mirror jumped again.

[99/100]
