127 Chapter - How Is This Possible? !
Ever since the two of them became enemies, Bai Cheng had carefully identified Tang Yan's headshot on the channel.
And why wasn't Tang Yan the same?
Although they had never truly met, they were already intimately familiar with each other's appearance and characteristics.
Now, meeting unexpectedly outside the Core Station, both felt a slight surprise for a moment.
“It truly is a small world,” Tang Yan chuckled softly.
His teammates beside him were equally astonished, their gazes fixed on Bai Cheng and the two employees behind her as if facing a formidable enemy.
Everyone's bodies were tense, and the employees behind them also adopted a combat stance.
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense, as if both sides were about to strike at any moment.
Those were legendary employees!
Although they had never seen them, they had long heard of the power of legendary employees and could not afford to take them lightly.
Of course, compared to suddenly attacking, these people felt more fear in their hearts.
They did not believe they could defeat Bai Cheng with their current strength.
Under such a tense atmosphere, a sigh suddenly broke the silence.
The voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it crystal clear.
“So beautiful, definitely super loud.”
Tang Yan's expression instantly tightened, and he looked back to find that it was Xiao Ran who had spoken.
Is this guy's little head controlling his big head?!
He cursed inwardly, but then looked at Bai Cheng again with a smile, changing the subject.
“Miss Bai Cheng, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. We have no grievances, don't we? The matter to consider right now is…”
“You should be grateful that the Pioneer Trial's rule of not harming each other is protecting you all,” Bai Cheng said coldly, directly interrupting him.
Tang Yan's expression changed, but he still forced a smile, suppressing his anger, and continued: “The matter of the transaction was consensual, and besides, regarding Leng Ningxue later… I immediately stopped targeting her after learning she was your friend.”
“We are all Pioneers from the same channel, future teammates who will fight against others together. There's no need to hurt our harmony over this, don't you think?”
Not only was Bai Cheng unsure what Tang Yan was up to with his abnormal behavior, but even his teammates beside him were utterly confused.
Aren't you enemies? Why are you now talking about morality and justice, wanting to bury the hatchet?
“Scram,” Bai Cheng uttered a single word in a cold tone, then turned and prepared to enter the train.
She had no intention of listening to his nonsense.
But as soon as she took a step, Bai Cheng looked back, her cold gaze sweeping over everyone present before she spoke again.
“You all better run fast after the Pioneer Trial ends.”
The threat in her words was evident.
“Damn it, you little hussy, what are you showing off for!” Chen Xiao couldn't take it anymore and immediately yelled, “You really think you're invincible, don't you? Just you wait and see!”
Xiao Ran also immediately echoed, “Hmph, you're the one who should be grateful for being protected by the rules! This young master will make you beg for mercy then!”
At this, Tang Yan's face darkened, and he glared at the two: “What in the world are you two doing?!”
It was bad enough that that brat Xiao Ran ruined his plans, but why was even Chen Xiao going against him now?
He was clearly the leader of the team, so why did he always feel like someone was harboring rebellious thoughts and trying to escalate his conflict with Bai Cheng?
To be honest, after witnessing Bai Cheng's strength and learning about the subsequent enemies, Tang Yan had indeed developed the idea of reconciling with her.
He believed that Bai Cheng, being as outstanding as him, would never be a petty woman.
Moreover, the issue of the Core Station was now before them—a gate that could not be opened by a single person's strength.
But Bai Cheng was so powerful that perhaps she could open it before other Pioneers even arrived.
So, after seeing Bai Cheng, Tang Yan's first thought was to cooperate with her. If they could enter the Core Station first, it would be easier and smoother to infiltrate the city.
Now, all of this had been ruined by these two idiots!
But at this moment, Xiao Ran seemed oblivious to Tang Yan's anger and continued to say indignantly, “Old Tang, when we take her down, we'll let you have your fun first. I know you're into that!”
Chen Xiao naturally hooked his arm, her voice becoming sweet: “That's right, Tang Ge, if you find it boring then, Xiaoxiao will do the voice acting for you.”
Tang Yan clenched his fists in anger, but their words had already been spoken in front of Bai Cheng. He knew that any possibility of reconciliation between him and her was now gone.
Now, he had to consider how to protect himself if he couldn't defeat her after the Pioneer Trial ended.
“Hmph!” He snorted coldly, turned, and walked straight back to the train alone.
“I'm truly impressed with you two!”
“Really, really? We're definitely Tang Yan Ge's good fortune~”
Meanwhile, Bai Cheng inside the train didn't even put Tang Yan and his group in her eyes.
Her gaze was fixed on the screen, because a series of messages had appeared on it after the train came to a complete stop.
“Hint: The Core Station has a strong magnetic link with the Infinite City. The Core Station cannot be captured until the Infinite City is occupied, and the train cannot dock simultaneously.”
“The high wall formed by the 8 Core Stations is the first layer of defense for the Infinite City. A large amount of energy is required to open the gate. It is recommended that multiple Pioneers cooperate to open it.”
“The abandoned Station within the city has been unusable for many years. Capture the city and restart the Station to complete the Pioneer Trial!”
“Additional Reward: The first Pioneer to drive into the Infinite City will receive a unique reward!”
“So, this Core Station train actually can't enter?” Bai Cheng was slightly startled.
Apparently, even if they opened the gate connecting the Core Station to the city, the distance between the Station and the city could not be covered by train.
Then how were they supposed to get there?
Bai Cheng's gaze involuntarily fell on Akame, her first employee, who also served as a mount.
This seemed to be the only way.
The map on the reconnaissance platform did not mark the city's location. Based on the rough map, Bai Cheng guessed that the distance between the two places was likely over three hundred kilometers.
“Zi Yuan, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to stay and guard the train,” Bai [N O V E L I G H T] Cheng then explained.
Zi Yuan immediately nodded: “Don't worry, Miss, Zi Yuan understands.”
After all, she couldn't carry Bai Cheng across several hundred kilometers, and the safety of the train parked in the wilderness was also a big concern.
“Let's go, let's look at that gate,” Bai Cheng said.
The location of the gate was not difficult to find. Perhaps because Bai Cheng and Tang Yan's two groups arrived here first, the gate was located between their two trains.
It was a giant steel gate, five meters long and five meters wide, covered with intricate intersecting line patterns.
When Bai Cheng arrived here with Akame and Zi Yuan, Tang Yan's group also noticed them.
It wasn't until they saw Zi Yuan begin to infuse energy into the steel gate, causing the intersecting lines to immediately glow with a purple aura, that the others looked at each other in confusion.
“Is this little girl crazy? The system clearly stated that multiple Pioneers are needed to open it. Who does she think she is, that she can do it alone?”
Tang Yan frowned, then finally said, “Let's go, we'll go over too.”
Chen Xiao asked, puzzled: “Tang Ge, why are we going? To help her?”
Tang Yan ignored him and walked straight behind Bai Cheng, speaking with absolute certainty.
“Miss Bai Cheng, this gate absolutely cannot be opened by one person's strength alone. Let's cooperate…”
But before he could finish speaking, the giant steel gate suddenly let out a loud rumble and began to slowly open to both sides.
Bai Cheng looked back and said, “What did you say?”
Seeing this, the others were all stunned, their eyes wide and their mouths agape.
“This, how is this possible?!”
