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

Three hours later.

In another passage of the maze, Chen Ye and his group were moving quickly forward.

Gu Qinghuan walked at the front, her steps steady and swift.

She didn't need to stop to figure out directions; her mental perception was like an invisible network spread across the maze, clearly etching every passage and every fork in the road into her consciousness.

Guided by Gu Qinghuan's perception, they have cleared out several waves of monsters in the past three hours.

Chen Ye's score has reached 1560 points, but the total score of the two trains has not decreased, but has instead increased.

Gu Qinghuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly slowed down. Her brows furrowed slightly, and the ripples of her mental perception extended deeper for a few seconds before she opened her eyes: "There is a large hall ahead. The monsters there should not be ordinary monsters."

"It's best if it's not an ordinary monster; the stronger the monster, the more points you get."

Chen Ye quickened his pace.

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly: "Judging from the aura I sensed, there should be a BOSS-level monster present."

"Speed ​​up."

As Chen Ye finished speaking, he immediately began to lift his feet.

The six people suddenly increased their speed in the corridor, and their footsteps changed from a fine rhythm to a continuous rapid sound, reflecting back and forth between the white walls.

Just as the line behind them was about to catch up, a high-frequency vibration suddenly occurred in the passage.

"What's going on? Was there an earthquake?"

Qin Zhaoyang's voice boomed from the middle of the group, filled with obvious panic.

The ground beneath his feet was sliding to the left, and he stumbled several steps.

If Zhao Hai hadn't grabbed his arm, he would have been thrown out of the horizontally moving passageway.

The channel broke into several segments during the vibration, each segment resembling an independent long strip cut from the whole, and then the broken channel began to move laterally.

Chen Ye's team was at the very front, some distance from the main group behind them.

The broken passage shifted 180 degrees and connected with the new passage. The high-frequency vibration stopped, and only Chen Ye's team remained in this new passage.

"Holy crap, this is a moving maze!"

Qin Zhaoyang broke free from Zhao Hai's grasp and steadied himself, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the front and back passageways: "What about those who were separated? Can they reunite?"

Gu Qinghuan stood at the front of the line, her gaze sweeping over the newly appeared passageway in front of her: "It seems that this maze is designed to separate and shuffle all the passengers."

Chen Ye brought up the system chat panel, and a blue light screen unfolded in front of him.

He was about to ask Lu Qingchuan if the same thing had happened, but before he could finish typing the message, Lu Qingchuan's message popped up first.

[Lu Qingchuan: The passageways in this maze can move. What's the situation on your end?]

Chen Ye quickly edited a message in reply.

[Chen Ye: Same here. The people who followed me into the middle passage have now been separated. The movement of the maze passages should have happened simultaneously, and perhaps there's a pattern to it.]

A few seconds later, Lu Qingchuan's reply popped up.

[Lu Qingchuan: Okay, be careful. The maze has scattered all the passengers, and these passageways are constantly shifting, so you might suddenly bump into someone from the opposite train.]

Chen Ye's gaze lingered on the last sentence for a moment, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Even if all the passengers on train G4939 are gathered together now, the efficiency of accumulating points is still far less than that of the train on the other side.

This situation may not necessarily be a bad thing for their train.

He edited a message and sent it.

[Chen Ye: That would be perfect. It's unlikely we can surpass their score by killing monsters. They're extremely efficient at gaining points. The only way we can catch up is by hunting down their passengers.]

[Lu Qingchuan: Great minds think alike.]

Chen Ye didn't continue chatting with Lu Qingchuan. He closed the chat panel, and the blue light screen shrank and disappeared in front of him.

He then looked up at Gu Qinghuan ahead and asked, "You sensed a BOSS in the hall earlier. Can we still go there now?"

Gu Qinghuan closed her eyes slightly, and her mental perception spread out again, covering the surrounding passage structure that had been rearranged.

A moment later she opened her eyes: "The direction of the passage has changed. We need to take a detour to get there. Of course, we can also wait here. The passage just shifted 180 degrees. If the passage shifts 180 degrees again, it will return to its original position. We just need to walk another hundred meters to reach the hall."

After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Ye asked, "How long have we been here since we came in?"

Zhou Yating quickly gave the answer: "Three hours exactly."

Chen Ye nodded slightly: "Let's wait three hours and see if the passage will still move. We must find the pattern. Gu Qinghuan's mental perception can sense the passage structure, monsters, and other passengers within a certain range. If we can also grasp the pattern of the passage's movement, then we will have the initiative."

Wen Ning, standing beside Chen Ye, nodded slightly upon hearing this: "That is indeed a significant advantage."

Standing next to Zhao Hai, Qin Zhaoyang listened to the conversation between Chen Ye and Gu Qinghuan, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Hai and lowered his voice, "Brother Hai, do you know what Brother Ye and the others are talking about?"

Zhao Hai rested his chin on his hand, his brows slightly furrowed. After a couple of seconds of silence, he shook his head: "I don't know... I don't quite understand."

Hearing their conversation, Wen Ning turned her head to look at them and smiled slightly: "You don't need to understand, just follow Chen Ye's instructions."

She paused, then turned back to Chen Ye: "But now the question is, should we wait three hours to see if the passage will reset, or should we take a detour to the BOSS hall?"

"The time is about the same. If nothing unexpected happens, three hours is enough for us to get around to that hall."

Gu Qinghuan offered her own judgment.

"Then let's go around it. It's still unknown whether the passage will move again in three hours."

Chen Ye acted almost without hesitation.

"Come with me."

Before Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, she had already stepped towards the newly appeared passage ahead.

Chen Ye quickly caught up with her and walked alongside her, the Dragon Scale Halberd already in his hand.

Zhao Hai, Wen Ning, Qin Zhaoyang, and Zhou Yating followed closely behind.

The fork in the road ahead came into view in the lights. Without pausing, Gu Qinghuan turned directly into the right-hand passage.
