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

Chen Ye straightened up from the wall and glanced in Zhong Xiu's direction: "What's your hurry?"

Zhong Xiu frowned slightly after Chen Ye retorted, but she didn't react.

Chen Ye withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Wen Ning and Zhao Hai beside him: "After you go up, you two should act according to the situation, prioritizing your own safety. Especially Hai-ge, you have close combat talent, so don't act rashly."

Zhao Hai nodded heavily: "Understood."

Although he was a simple-minded brute, he wasn't stupid. He couldn't do much damage to the boss on the 90th floor, let alone the 100th floor.

Wen Ning added, "Don't worry, we'll take good care of ourselves."

Chen Ye and Gu Qinghuan exchanged a final glance, neither of them speaking, only nodding slightly.

At this moment, Lu Qingchuan also stood up. His gaze swept over the passengers of train G4939: "Those of you who don't want to go on can stay here. However, if we are unable to kill the final BOSS because of a few fewer people, then everyone will still die. You can decide for yourselves."

After he finished speaking, he led the team toward the elevator.

Some of the other passengers on train G4939 didn't actually want to get on, but after Zhong Xiu's outburst and what Lu Qingchuan just said, it seemed like they had no choice but to go on, even if it meant getting gua sha (scraping therapy).

"Let's go. Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. You really want to be lazy and win without lifting a finger?"

After saying that, Wu Hao strode towards the elevator, appearing quite carefree.

Lu Yang shook his head helplessly and quickly followed.

A moment later, the passengers on train G4939 were all standing at their respective elevator doors.

The passengers on train G4928, led by Zhong Xiu, also stood at their respective elevator doors.

"Let's go. Once we get to the last level, this survival trial should be over."

Chen Ye was the first to step into the elevator after he finished speaking, followed closely by Gu Qinghuan, Zhao Hai, and Wen Ning.

Next came Lu Qingchuan's team, followed by Zhong Xiu's team, who entered the elevator one after another.

The remaining people had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into their respective elevators. In a short while, the 99th floor was empty.

……

The control tower has 100 floors.

The elevator doors surrounding the lobby slid open one after another.

When Chen Ye stepped out of the sedan chair, he already had the Demon-Slaying Halberd in his hand.

His gaze swept across the entire lobby in an instant.

The entire hall was empty; there were no mechanical behemoths, nothing at all.

Chen Ye slowed his pace, took a few steps forward, the tip of his gun hanging at his side, his gaze sweeping from the left side of the hall to the right, and then back to the left.

Lu Qingchuan stepped out of the elevator next to him, the giant axe already in his hand, and stood at the entrance of the lobby without rushing forward.

At almost the same moment, Zhong Xiu stepped out of the elevator, her gaze sharp as a knife, quickly scanning the empty space.

Then, more elevator doors slid open, and other passengers gradually stepped out of the car, their footsteps echoing softly on the metal floor.

Some people stood motionless at the elevator entrance, while others tentatively took two steps forward and then stopped.

The hall was as empty as a warehouse that hadn't yet been furnished with anything.

"Empty?"

Zhao Hai's voice came from behind Chen Ye, low and wary.

His arms have been metallized from his fingertips to his shoulders.

Chen Ye did not respond. His gaze swept from the center of the hall to the corner, from the corner to the ceiling, and then back to the floor.

There really was nothing there.

He turned his head to look at Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan had her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her spiritual perception spread out like an invisible net, enveloping the entire hall.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and shook her head slightly: "There is indeed nothing here."

Chen Ye frowned.

Is the 100th floor empty? That doesn't make sense.

The bosses on the first 90 floors are all real mechanical creations. According to the rules of this control tower, the 100th floor, being the final floor, should have a boss that is stronger and more difficult to deal with than the 90th floor.

But there's nothing here.

"What's going on? There's nothing here?" Wang Zekai's voice came from a few meters away. He was standing half a step behind Lu Qingchuan, looking around before turning his gaze back. "If there's nothing here, does that mean we've already cleared the level?"

Lu Qingchuan turned to look at Shen Nanxing beside him: "We've reached the top floor. Let's try the elevator to see if we can go down."

Shen Nanxing nodded slightly.

She turned and walked back into the elevator car, reaching out to press the buttons for the first floor a few times.

The floor buttons on the metal panel did not respond when she pressed them, and no indicator lights came on.

Shen Nanxing tried twice more, but there was still no change.

She withdrew her hand, turned and walked out of the elevator, returning to Lu Qingchuan's side, and gently shook her head: "We can't go down, just like before."

Zhong Xiu walked to the other side of the hall, still remaining vigilant.

Her gaze swept from one wall to another, from the floor to the ceiling, taking in every detail.

Her team consisted of only two people: Yang Lan stood two steps behind her, and Sun Wu stood on her other side.

The two of them were also scanning the empty space warily, looking for any possible anomalies.

Other passengers also gradually exited the elevator.

Some people walked quickly to the center of the hall, circled around, and then came back; some people squatted down and tapped the metal plate on the ground with their palms; and some people looked up at the ceiling for a long time.

But no one found anything.

People began to talk in hushed tones in the hall.

"No boss? Does that mean we've already cleared the game?"

"But the elevator still won't go down; it can't be that simple."

"But there's really nothing here. They can't just leave us here like this, can they?"

Lu Qingchuan turned his gaze from the whispering passengers to Chen Ye: "Without the BOSS, and the elevator can't go down, what are we going to do? Are they trying to trap us here?"

Chen Ye shook his head slightly: "Although every survival trial is extremely dangerous, there is no truly dead end. The fact that the elevator cannot go down means that we have not passed these 100 floors."

Wang Zekai shrugged: "But there's nothing here, how are we supposed to get through?"

"Stay alert, wait, something will eventually come out."

As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, the air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.

The change was extremely subtle, like a very slight ripple of air passing over the skin's surface.

There was no sound, no visible sign, but the few perceptive people present noticed something almost simultaneously.

Gu Qinghuan's brows furrowed suddenly, and a silver throwing knife shot out from her side, hovering in mid-air and trembling slightly.

Her mental perception was fully activated, but the extremely subtle fluctuation vanished the moment it appeared, as if it had never existed.

The outline of the golden wings behind Zhong Xiu flickered slightly, ready to unfold at any moment.

Just then, the space behind Sun Wu, who was standing behind Zhong Xiu, trembled slightly, and a sharp claw shot out from the void, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

The claw was dark silver in color, with a sharp, blade-like tip. It appeared out of thin air on the back of Sun Wu's neck without making a sound or causing any change in the airflow.

Then, the claws slashed across.
