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

[Su Jin: We've encountered high-level passengers from the opposite train. There are three of them, two men and one woman, all with scores of three to four thousand, indicating they are very strong. The woman likely has elemental fire talent; she can unleash a large number of firebirds.]

Chen Ye's gaze lingered on the words "three or four thousand" for half a second longer before he quickly replied.

[Chen Ye: So how did you escape?]

[Su Jin: We shook them off by taking a side road. The four passengers in my group were all killed by them, but the four of us ran fast enough that they didn't chase us.]

Chen Ye: I understand. Be careful.

Chen Ye turned off the light screen, and Zhao Hai immediately leaned closer from the side: "What's wrong?"

"Su Jin's team encountered the top combat force of the opposite train, but they escaped safely."

Chen Ye briefly relayed the contents of the message.

He Yunfeng stood a few steps away and overheard the conversation. He glanced at Yang Minghui, and the two exchanged a brief look before looking away without saying anything more.

Chen Ye ignored their exchange of glances and turned to Gu Qinghuan: "Let's continue."

Gu Qinghuan didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded slightly, her gaze already fixed on the passage ahead: "Yes, after the passage moves, the next BOSS hall will be just ahead."

Before she finished speaking, she had already stepped out.

Chen Ye carried the Dragon Scale Ancient Halberd and walked alongside her.

Zhao Hai, Wen Ning, Qin Zhaoyang, and Zhou Yating followed one after another.

He Yunfeng and his two companions lagged behind by half a step, not rushing ahead, maintaining a pace that was neither too close nor too far.

The nine figures re-formed a tight queue in the passageway, steadily advancing towards the hall that Gu Qinghuan had sensed.

Over the next few days, Chen Ye's team and He Yunfeng's team formed a temporary group. Led by Gu Qinghuan, they pushed their way through the BOSS and killed the passengers on the opposite train.

The passages throughout the maze are constantly changing, and one group after another meets. Groups on the same train travel together, while groups on opposing trains fight to the death.

The number of survivors on both trains is decreasing, and the bosses in each hall are being killed one after another. Train G4899's score is consistently ahead of Train G4939's.

……

The fifth day of the trial.

Somewhere in the maze.

Su Jin's team passed through a passage and entered a BOSS hall.

The BOSS's corpse lay on the ground in the center of the hall, its massive body cut into several pieces, dark red blood spreading across the ground and congealing into black.

Yang Qing's gaze swept over the BOSS's corpse on the ground: "The BOSS here has also been killed."

She was used to this. These past few days they had been traveling, and every time they arrived at a BOSS hall, the BOSS inside had almost already been cleared out by other teams.

Su Jin's gaze swept quickly around the hall, confirming that there were no remaining monsters, before her gaze stopped.

There was a person in the far right corner of the hall.

Li Jiahao was squatting in a corner of the hall, leaning against the wall, with only 150 blue points displayed above his head.

Xia Yan followed Su Jin's gaze, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Li Jiahao? What's he doing here?"

Wang Ze pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and lingered on Li Jiahao for two seconds: "I don't know, he's probably resting."

Su Jin turned her gaze away from Li Jiahao: "Ignore him, the BOSS here has been killed, let's go."

The four of them walked through the hall and headed towards the passageway opposite.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the passage, Li Jiahao's voice came from the corner of the hall: "If I were you, I would stay here. The trial has been going on for five days. The monsters have basically all been killed. You guys are really lucky to be alive after running around like this."

Su Jin stopped in her tracks.

The four of them stopped and turned around at the same time.

Yang Qing frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

Li Jiahao remained crouched in the corner, his posture unchanged, only raising his eyelids: "You all know that the passages in the maze move randomly, but the BOSS hall doesn't. So as long as you stay here, you won't bump into high-level passengers on the opposite train because of the passage movement."

The hall was silent for about two or three seconds.

Xia Yan turned her head to look at Wang Ze: "What he said seems to make a lot of sense."

Wang Ze didn't reply immediately. His gaze fell on the figure crouching in the corner. He was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That makes sense."

Yang Qing's brows remained furrowed. She neither refuted nor nodded in agreement. She turned her head to look at Su Jin.

Su Jin was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Is there no danger here? People can still come here, and our train's points are still lagging behind. Someone has to go and earn points."

"If someone comes, we can run away. It's better than running into a high-level passenger on the other side by moving through the passage. As for falling behind in points..." Li Jiahao's lips curled slightly: "If the sky falls, there will be taller people to hold it up. The four of you are at most mid-level on this train. What can you change? The fact that we can survive and not be killed by the other train is already a contribution to the train."

Wang Ze agreed, turning to Su Jin and saying, "What he said is true. We were lucky to escape last time. Now that most of the trial time has passed, the remaining teams are beyond our capabilities."

Su Jin stood there, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Fine, we've killed all the monsters we could, so let's stay here. Whether we win or lose this points battle depends on Chen Ye and the others."

The four of them then found a corner to sit down. At this moment, they all had the same thought: there was a reason why Li Jiahao could live for so long. He had thoroughly studied how to survive.

Li Jiahao remained squatting in that corner, watching as Su Jin and the other three didn't leave, a tiny smile curving his lips.

After all, he was still a little uneasy about being left alone here, and the arrival of Su Jin and the other three put him at ease.

Even if high-ranking passengers from the opposite train arrive, someone will draw their fire for him. Given his talent and abilities, he is the most likely to escape.

However, what Li Jiahao said was true. Staying in the hall was theoretically much safer than wandering around. He had been squatting there for three days, and no one else had come except for Su Jin's team.
