138 Chapter - Stealing Talent
Bai Cheng frowned, not knowing what scheme this guy was up to.
But with the outcome already decided, she didn't mind listening to him ramble a bit more.
After all, nothing he said would change the fact that he was about to die.
And with three Commander employees present, he had no chance of turning the tables.
"Alright, then speak," Bai Cheng said, crossing her arms and looking down at him.
Next to her, Lü Duo's eyes flashed with a green energy, and the wailing Pioneers immediately fell silent.
Only Tang Yan's voice now echoed through the area.
"My talent is called 【Question】. As my strength has grown, I can now ask two questions a day. The limitations are significant; I can only guess to get information."
"Currently, what I know is that we are still in the outer regions of this world. Besides environmental challenges, there's almost no need to worry about threats from native species..."
"Also, the missions for other channels are different from ours. You should have noticed that channels are competitors. To advance deeper into the world, I suspect there might be some kind of quota limit..."
Tang Yan said a lot, telling Bai Cheng almost everything he knew about this world, word for word.
He even clearly explained which parts were confirmed information and which were just his guesses.
As for the danger of the next trial, after witnessing Bai Cheng's strength, Tang Yan ultimately swallowed that vague piece of information.
He now found it hard to believe any Survivor could be Bai Cheng's opponent.
The three of them were quite surprised by this information, all showing looks of astonishment.
"Your talent is indeed very strong," Bai Cheng couldn't help but praise.
But Tang Yan just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Knowing too much isn't always good. Here, strength is king, and your talent is the strongest."
"Thank you for telling me this, but one thing at a time. I can give you a quick death," Bai Cheng said. "Is there anything else you want to add?"
"Yes," Tang Yan's answer surprised the three. "There are still traitors on my train. That person must be Xiao Ran, who stayed behind. I implore you to help me deal with him, please."
"Eh?" Yu Nian expressed her confusion. "If you die and the train is destroyed, wouldn't the other members on the train die too? Why would we need to do anything?"
Tang Yan, however, just shook his head: "It's precisely because of the train merging that I never suspected him. He must have a way to save his life and survive."
He was certain the other party would not die.
Actually, even if Tang Yan hadn't said anything, Bai Cheng had no intention of letting those two off.
From the start, they were the ones who cursed the most, only to become cowards in the end. Now it seemed they were indeed trying to escalate the conflict between herself and Tang Yan.
Bai Cheng nodded, agreeing: "Xiao Ran, huh? The one who cuckolded you."
Tang Yan was stunned, then realized: "I didn't expect Chen Xiao and he to be in cahoots. Then why would her twin sister still come along..."
"Twins?" Now it was Leng Ningxue's turn to be confused. "I've observed all the Survivors in the channel. I do ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) remember Chen Xiao, but you said your teammates were all Pioneers, and I've never seen any twins?"
At her words, the others looked back at the corpses of the Pioneers. After double-checking by Leng Ningxue and Tang Yan, Chen Xiao's sister was indeed not among them.
"Interesting, the people on your train aren't simple," Bai Cheng teased.
Tang Yan said nothing, just closed his eyes in silence.
He had nothing more to add.
"Heh, daring to scheme against me. I hope you enjoy being hunted by Bai Cheng!"
Meanwhile, at the Core Station.
Because the control panel in Infinite City's basement had been destroyed, the high walls here had begun to collapse, turning into a complete ruin.
Now, only Tang Yan's and Bai Cheng's two trains remained on the outskirts of the Station.
But because the Pioneers' trains were parked too far apart, Xiao Ran and Chen Xiao inside their trains couldn't observe the situation in the distance. They simply hunkered down inside, wary of Zi Yuan and daring not to move outside.
The two waited quietly, as if preparing for something.
"A bunch of fools, the Gold Card won't drop right in front of you!"
Chen Xiao yawned, looking as if she had just woken up: "The trial is over. I suppose they've already started fighting over there. What if they can't handle Bai Cheng?"
Xiao Ran said indifferently: "If they can't, they can't. We'll be just as happy if Tang Yan dies."
"I've wanted his talent for a long time!"
After speaking, his gaze turned to Bai Cheng's train not far away: "If Bai Cheng dies, we can also get the Gold Card and leave immediately, even acquire her talent. No matter what, it's a sure win!"
"Yes, this close distance just happens not to trigger the system's automatic pickup. Even if Tang Yan dies, we can still successfully use the train core to replicate the talent."
Chen Xiao also agreed, becoming excited and losing all her sleepiness.
"Hehe, how about my best friend's trick of 'driving a wolf to swallow a tiger'?" She said with some pride, "Normally, we wouldn't be a match for Pioneers like that."
"Then by that logic, I'm your brother-in-law," Xiao Ran also curled his lips, suddenly putting his arm around Chen Xiao's shoulder and letting his hand slide downwards.
"Don't worry, once we have their talents, we'll also soar, with no more opponents!"
"Oh, you're annoying!"
And just then, Tang Yan's train suddenly collapsed, and the two immediately felt a life-threatening danger.
"Tang Yan is dead!" Xiao Ran exclaimed, immediately looking at Chen Xiao, "Quick, activate your talent!"
With that, the two decisively rushed out of the train.
Then, boom!
The train suddenly disintegrated into a pile of metal parts. Xiao Ran immediately reached for the train core in the ruins, activating his talent for the first time ever.
The next second, blood flowed from one of Chen Xiao's eyes. Her eyeball vanished into thin air, leaving only an empty socket.
"It hurts so much!"
Blood also flowed from her mouth, and she clutched her side, nearly collapsing to the ground in pain, but instinctively grabbed Xiao Ran's arm.
The latter was startled by her appearance: "What did you sacrifice?!"
"A kidney...."
The crisis that threatened to take their lives began to disappear, and at the same time, their figures gradually became transparent.
Whoosh!
A sound of rushing air rang out, and a sharp purple blade light flashed instantly, but it was still a step too late.
Their figures had completely vanished from the spot, leaving only Zi Yuan standing not far away, slightly frowning at everything before her.
At the same time, outside Infinite City, Bai Cheng and Yu Nian, along with Leng Ningxue, split into two groups and began returning to their respective trains...
