129 Chapter - Yes, Why Should I Waste My Time Talking To You?
She and Chi Yan both stood still, quietly watching the train pull into the Station.
But when Bai Cheng saw the full appearance of the train, she immediately dismissed the idea that the other party was an Infinite Marauder.
Because the other party's train was simply too new, too new to be an Infinite Marauder.
Only one guess remained in Bai Cheng's mind.
This was the core Station, and Pioneers like them couldn't dock their trains here.
Clearly, the newcomers, like the Survivor named Wang Shuai she had met in the cave earlier, were also Pioneers from other channels.
"Could it be that Pioneers from two channels are meant to engage in an offensive and defensive battle at the core Station first?"
As for whether the other party arrived a bit late, Bai Cheng guessed she had probably arrived early.
And as this train pulled in, the entire Station was fully activated.
After it stopped, a small man was the first to step out of the vehicle, followed by two female teammates and five employees.
They also noticed Bai Cheng, but instead of being suspicious, they enthusiastically came forward to greet her.
"Hi, I didn't expect you guys to be here so early. So, have you found any information about the invaders?"
The man stepped forward and extended his hand, but Bai Cheng remained unmoved and had no intention of shaking his hand.
He then scratched his head awkwardly, while the woman beside him stared intently at Bai Cheng's face, full of vigilance.
"Xiao Kun, I don't remember there being a white-haired woman among our hundred Pioneers."
"Really?" The man didn't quite believe it. "Maybe I misremembered. How could an invader come inside the Station?"
With that, he proactively walked towards the interior of the Station, calling out.
"Let's go, let's activate the Station together, before those invaders arrive."
Watching the group enter the Station first, without even leaving employees to guard the train, Bai Cheng couldn't help but frown.
The 'invaders' the man mentioned clearly didn't refer to the Infinite Marauders.
"Is that what they call us Pioneers?" she muttered, recalling his words. "And the 'Pioneers' he mentioned, is that a title given within their channel?"
Bai Cheng didn't immediately follow their footsteps, but instead looked at their train.
The vehicle's exterior was no different from theirs, and Bai Cheng tried to enter it; the door was unlocked.
The layout was identical, including the screens, detection platforms, and so on.
Bai Cheng wanted to use the other party's system, hoping to view information within their channel.
But as soon as her finger touched the screen, a striking red alert immediately appeared.
【WARNING! VEHICLE UNDER MONSTER INVASION!】
Bai Cheng pointed at herself with a bewildered expression: "Who? Me?"
Beep! Beep—!
Piercing sounds began to echo, and the man and two women who had already entered the Station immediately returned with their employees.
For a moment, the two parties, inside and outside the train, stared at each other.
Bai Cheng even felt a sense of shame, as if she had been caught in the act.
"As righteous Pioneers, how could you do something so sneaky!" the man shouted in disbelief.
The two women beside him were also full of hostility: "Xiao Kun, why are you wasting words on her!"
"Yes, why am I wasting words on you?"
A moment later, in the main hall of the core Station, the three were tied up and thrown onto the ground by Chi Yan, like little chicks.
"Speak, what is your mission!" Chi Yan's fierce expression and oppressive aura immediately made the three tremble with fear.
The man still had some backbone, but the two women immediately revealed their entire mission, word for word.
"Our mission is to activate the defensive Station. By injecting energy here, it can be activated to serve as a defensive line against your invasion!"
"The Station has three activation stages. The more people there are, the more energy there is, and the greater the changes. They are 【Steel Bulwark】, 【Solid City Defense】, and 【Impenetrable High Wall】!"
"This is key to helping the Liberators fight against you invaders. After activating the High Wall, we will all gather towards the Free City...."
Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow at this.
They needed to inject energy to open the gate, while the other party injected energy to reinforce the gate.
As she expected, their missions were completely opposite.
However, from their description, it wasn't hard to tell that they didn't seem to know that she and her companions were also Survivors?
"Pioneer, Invader, Liberator, and Free City.... Even the names are completely different."
But it was precisely because of this that Bai Cheng understood the true purpose of this core Station: it was merely a stumbling block for Pioneers like them.
And she had now successfully entered here, so the only thing left to do was to go to Infinite City to complete the final Pioneer Trial.
"Bai Cheng, since they're all enemies anyway, how about letting me play with them before killing them?"
At this moment, Tang Yan and his group, who had been acting as transparent figures not far away, spoke up.
However, it wasn't Tang Yan who said this, but another man from his vehicle.
Upon hearing this, the three tied-up Pioneers' pupils immediately constricted.
One of the women even shook her head repeatedly, somewhat breaking down: "No, don't kill us!"
But the other quiet woman's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope upon hearing this, and she quickly looked at the man.
"If I let you have your way with me, will you let me go?"
The man named Xiao Kun's eyes also lit up: "Brother, is a man okay?"
But that person didn't answer, instead looking at Tang Yan.
Although the latter was somewhat speechless, he still advocated for his brother.
"Miss Bai, as you know, there's no way to quit during the Pioneer Trial. If you let them go, they'll still have to go to Infinite City in the end."
Tang Yan and his group showed no surprise that they were Survivors from other channels, clearly having known this for a long time.
Bai Cheng remained silent, she understood, of course.
"Sorry, our positions are different, but I can make it more dignified for you."
After speaking, she gave Chi Yan a look. Chi Yan chose not to use fire or claws, but instead cleanly twisted their necks, giving them a painless death.
Seeing that the group was dead, Tang Yan's teammate no longer pressed the issue.
At this point, Bai Cheng was also ready to set off for Infinite City, but Tang Yan spoke again.
"Miss Bai, now that this Core Station No. 8 has opened, it's best if we wait for other Pioneers to arrive here before departing."
"You also know that we have to contend not only with the Infinite Marauders, but also with Pioneers from other channels...."
Tang Yan admitted that Bai Cheng was very strong, which is why he wanted to group up with her to go, as this would maximize their chances of success.
Of course, there was also a more important goal: to make it easier to act afterward.
But Bai Cheng was thinking about another problem at this moment: if she went and took down Infinite City first, would Leng Ningxue not be able to get her reward?
Damn, that would be a loss of an Immortal Heart!
Bai Cheng nodded: "Okay."
Soon, a piece of information quickly spread within their #2 channel.
And at the same time, Pioneers from all routes also changed their target Stations, all converging towards Core Station No. 8......
