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

He Yunfeng's gaze swept over the heads of the crowd, confirming that most passengers had reached the vicinity of the exit. Then he took half a step forward and cleared his throat.

"Everyone, I am He Yunfeng. You have all read the rules of this trial. Everyone here is a moving point. I don't want you to act alone and go to the other train to give points."

"Even if we don't encounter passengers from train G4899, but die at the hands of the monster, our train's total points will decrease. This is a matter of life and death for everyone, so we must act in unison."

He paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to two young men in their early twenties at the front of the crowd: "Zhou Tian, ​​Li Rui, in the last trial, the deaths of your teammates were simply due to bad luck. This time, I hope you two will prioritize the overall situation and refrain from sowing discord."

The platform was quiet for two or three seconds.

Then, a voice rang out from the crowd.

"Sure, we can work together, but neither of us will take orders from you."

The speaker was Zhou Tian, ​​who was wearing a gray-white windbreaker.

Li Rui stood next to Zhou Tian, ​​the two of them side by side.

Both of them are level 25. Zhou Tian is ranked eighth on the level leaderboard, while Li Rui is ranked ninth.

"This brother is right, we can stick together, but we won't obey your orders."

Another voice came from the crowd, with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"I think He Yunfeng makes a good point. After all, if someone dies, our train's total points will decrease. A unified operation can at least ensure that no one dies in vain."

Another voice followed, clearly favoring He Yunfeng.

"Let's do it together then. Killing fellow passengers on the same train will only earn us half of that passenger's points. Although I don't trust them either, they wouldn't dig their own graves, would they?"

Another voice broke in, its tone carrying a sense of hesitation followed by decisiveness.

A lively discussion broke out among the crowd. Based on the current rules, they all believed that He Yunfeng would not only not harm them, but would even protect them from being killed by the monsters.

Chen Ye did not join the discussion. He stood slightly to the left of the front of the crowd, his hands in his pockets, his eyes scanning the different faces as he silently assessed the situation.

Li Jiahao stood at the back of the crowd. His gaze passed over the shoulders of the people in front of him, landed precisely on Jiang Ning, and then quickly looked away.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief. Under these trial rules, Jiang Ning would absolutely not dare to touch him, at least not in the early stages of the trial.

If someone attacks a fellow passenger on the train, they are making an enemy of the entire train and will become the target of everyone's anger.

As long as their train wins this trial, he can get through it unscathed.

He Yunfeng's expression turned grim as he saw that the passengers were unwilling to comply with his orders, but he couldn't do anything to them right now. He turned his head and glanced at Yang Minghui beside him.

Yang Minghui understood immediately. He took half a step forward, adjusted his frameless glasses, and said in a gentle tone, "We just want everyone to survive. As long as everyone doesn't cause trouble, we naturally won't make any unreasonable demands."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Tian and Li Rui before scanning the crowd: "I wonder who Chen Ye and Lu Qingchuan are? If special circumstances arise that require their participation in decision-making, we won't allow one person to make the decision."

There was a moment of silence on the platform.

"I am Chen Ye."

Chen Ye stood with his hands in his pockets, his tone indifferent.

"I am Lu Qingchuan."

Lu Qingchuan also gave his name.

A perfectly timed smile appeared on Yang Minghui's face as he said sincerely, "Then I'll trouble you two to work together with us to help the passengers on the train safely get through this survival test."

Chen Ye looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "No problem. We're all in the same boat now. The death of any passenger could affect the final trial outcome. I have no objection to a coordinated operation."

He was telling the truth. If this trial were a mission to obtain a survival mark, he wouldn't have stayed here for even a second longer; he would have led the team away immediately.

However, under this rule, unified action is indeed necessary.

If low-level passengers are allowed to wander around and get killed by monsters or by people from enemy trains, it will directly reduce your team's total score.

Lu Qingchuan stood beside Chen Ye and nodded slightly: "I have no objection either."

He Yunfeng stood in front, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Chen Ye and Lu Qingchuan before returning to his own. His expression remained unchanged.

"In that case, let's leave the station."

He turned and walked towards the station exit, his steps crisp and decisive, without looking back.

Yang Minghui nodded slightly to Chen Ye and Lu Qingchuan, then turned around and, together with Liang Jing, quickly caught up with He Yunfeng ahead.

The atmosphere on the platform relaxed instantly, and passengers who had been observing began to move around.

Some people hurried to catch up, some walked in twos and threes, and some were still talking in hushed tones, but their steps were already moving towards the exit.

Wang Zekai leaned closer to Lu Qingchuan and lowered his voice: "Is that the guy with glasses Yang Minghui, who's third on the ranking list? He's quite polite."

"That's because Chen Ye and Qing Chuan are at the same level as them, so Yang Minghui can naturally tell that we're together. If our level is much lower than theirs, he naturally won't be polite to us."

Shen Nanxing's voice was also not loud, but it carried a calm judgment.

Lu Qingchuan glanced at Chen Ye and said, "Let's go out too and check the situation in this maze. It would be best if we could all get away with it peacefully."

Chen Ye nodded slightly.

The two groups of ten people walked out of the station with the crowd.

Outside the station, a massive white wall, over a hundred meters high, stretched across the horizon.

Below the white giant wall is an entrance about ten meters wide, leading to a long passage. Cold white light spreads evenly along the walls on both sides of the passage, extending deep into the distance with no end in sight.

He Yunfeng and his two companions were already standing at the entrance.

All three of them focused their gaze on the abnormally uniform white light deep within the passage, as if they were estimating the length and direction of the passage.

Chen Ye and Lu Qingchuan exchanged a glance, then each led their teams to the entrance of the passage and stood still.

Gu Qinghuan took a few steps forward and closed her eyes. Her mental perception spread out from her side like an invisible net, extending forward along the wall and penetrating into the depths of the maze.

After about five or six seconds, Gu Qinghuan opened her eyes, her gaze still fixed straight ahead: "This place is very large. My senses can only cover a small part of the area, but I can confirm that the structure is indeed a maze, with many branching paths inside."
