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

Chen Ye nodded slightly.

Gu Qinghuan's words were not only directed at him, but also conveyed to all the high-class passengers around her.

Upon hearing this, He Yunfeng turned his head and looked over the distance of several meters to Gu Qinghuan. Most of the functional talents were dead because they had no combat ability, but the woman in front of him did not seem to be someone without combat power.

His gaze lingered on Gu Qinghuan for a few more seconds before he asked, "What's your name?"

Gu Qinghuan glanced at him sideways, her tone indifferent: "I have no obligation to tell you."

When Qin Zhaoyang heard those three words, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, which he quickly suppressed, but a very soft "pfft" still escaped.

Liang Jing stood beside He Yunfeng, her brows furrowing slightly. "Since we've all decided to act as a unified force, there's no need to hide our names, is there?"

Chen Ye glanced at Liang Jing and said, "My teammate is a bit aloof and not used to talking to strangers. You just need to know that her skills are no less than mine."

After saying that, he looked away and didn't look at Liang Jing's expression again.

Liang Jing pursed her lips slightly, but ultimately said nothing more.

Seeing the slightly tense atmosphere, Yang Minghui took a half-step forward at the opportune moment: "Let's go in first."

Chen Ye didn't reply; he just glanced at Lu Qingchuan.

Lu Qingchuan met his gaze and nodded slightly.

The two teams did not linger and stepped into the passage at the same time.

He Yunfeng stood still, watching the backs of the two groups of people, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Yang Minghui lowered his voice and said to He Yunfeng, "These people are not simple."

He Yunfeng withdrew his gaze, switched to the system panel, and checked the current scores of both sides.

[Current Points: G4899 (Red) 2850 points, G4939 (Blue) 3200 points]

He frowned slightly: "The train on the other side has already lost passengers so quickly?"

Yang Minghui also brought up the system panel and glanced at it, then said, "It's normal. The other side also has a full complement of 320 people. Obviously, they have just completed the merger. It's normal for a few people to die in the conflict after arriving at the station. This is actually a good thing for us."

He Yunfeng nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go in."

As he finished speaking, passengers at the entrance began to move one after another. Some walked quickly to catch up, some walked in twos and threes, and some talked in hushed tones as they walked.

The footsteps of about three hundred people blended together, echoing back and forth in the passageway.

Jiang Ning walked at the very end of the line, his gaze constantly sweeping over the walls on both sides and the overhead light strips.

Li Jiahao was walking a little further back, about twenty meters away from the other person.

He maintained this distance from the moment he stepped out of the station, neither getting too close to Jiang Ning nor so far away that he would leave himself out of the protection of the crowd.

Two figures trailed behind the group, one in front of the other, and followed the crowd into the maze.

……

Maze East Station.

A burly middle-aged man stood at the front of the crowd, wearing a green camouflage uniform with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a section of his dark, muscular forearm.

The burly man's name is Zheng Xiao. He is ranked first on the G4899 train's ranking list, with a rank of 29.

At this moment, he stared expressionlessly at the ten rows of people standing in front of him, which were not standing in neat rows.

Each of these queues had 31 people, with the high-ranking passengers standing at the front being the squad leaders he appointed.

Three of the ten squad leaders were wearing the same camouflage uniform as Zheng Xiao, while the other seven squad leaders wore different uniforms.

Behind Zheng Xiao stood a man and a woman, both around thirty years old, also dressed in camouflage.

The man's name was Wei Jie, and he had a neat buzz cut.

The woman's name was Yu Wei, and she wore a high ponytail.

The two are both level 28.

Seven corpses lay on the ground at Zheng Xiao's feet. These were passengers who had complained about his militarized management and were killed by him casually.

Zheng Xiao, Wei Jie, Yu Wei, and the three squad leaders in camouflage uniforms—these six were all from the same team and occupied the top six positions on the ranking list on train G4899.

After witnessing Zheng Xiao's ruthless methods, the other passengers dared not speak out against him.

Zheng Xiao's red score number above his head had reached 450. Killing fellow passengers on the same train would earn him 50% of the score, so the death of seven passengers would only result in a loss of 350 points. In his view, exchanging 350 points for absolute control was extremely worthwhile.

His gaze swept across the queue ahead again before he spoke, "The train numbers on the other side are later than ours, and their overall rank is lower. As long as you obey orders and follow commands, I, Zheng Xiao, guarantee that you will pass this trial safely."

The crowd remained silent.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a gray jacket at the front of the fifth line took half a step forward, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I have no doubt that you can lead us to victory with your level and strength, but now that the outcome is decided, can you guarantee you won't attack us?"

The man in the jacket who has survived this long is no fool. The rules of this trial can at most guarantee that trains on the same train will not hunt each other in the early stages. Once a winner is decided between the trains on the opposite side, they will all become experience points for Zheng Xiao.

Zheng Xiao glanced at him sideways, his gaze devoid of emotion: "You have no right to bargain."

The man in the gray jacket moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing and retreated.

The queue was quiet for another two or three seconds.

"What if we all commit suicide? The train's total points will decrease significantly. If we all die, it won't be easy for you to beat the opposing train."

The speaker was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in all black, standing at the very front of the tenth team. He was also the squad leader of the tenth team. In fact, he did not want to be the squad leader, but because his rank was not low, Zheng Xiao took a liking to him.

The moment the young man in black finished speaking, Zheng Xiao's figure vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of him the next second, so close that he could see the curve of the other's eyelashes.

The black-clad youth's pupils contracted sharply, and his body instinctively took several steps back. For a fleeting moment, he even felt death was close at hand.

But Zheng Xiao didn't press closer. A smirk appeared on his lips: "Suicide takes courage. If you take your own life now, I'll respect you as a man. If you don't dare..." His eyes turned cold: "Then shut your mouth."

The young man in black opened his mouth, his fingers clenched into a fist, then relaxed. He truly didn't have the courage to commit suicide. Even ants try to survive, let alone him.

In the end, he lowered his head and silently walked back to the front of the tenth squad, accepting the responsibility of being the squad leader of the tenth squad given to him by Zheng Xiao.

"Let me remind you again, I hate being threatened. Don't let this happen again." Zheng Xiao finished speaking, turned around, and walked back to his original position, facing the ten queues again: "Anyone else have a question?"

The platform was completely silent; the passengers who had been exchanging glances earlier all lowered their heads.

Zheng Xiao turned his head and glanced at Yu Wei behind him.

Yu Wei stepped forward, stood at the front of the crowd, scanned the ten rows of people, and then called out, "Count off!"

The squad leader at the very front of the first team, dressed in camouflage, shouted in a booming voice, "1!"

"2".

"3".

"4".

……

……

The calls of numbers came one after another, from the first team to the tenth team.

After the last passenger in the tenth group called out "310," Yu Wei turned to Zheng Xiao and reported, "Captain, the tenth group has a total of 310 people. All assembled!"

Zheng Xiao waved his hand and said, "Let's go, into the maze."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the exit.

Wei Jie and Yu Wei followed closely behind, one on the left and one on the right.

The ten lines followed in an orderly fashion.

About three hundred people walked out of the station in a large procession.
