144 Chapter - #4 Rainforest Island Station!
"Xiao Cheng, we're about to enter the Station!"
Yu Nian looked at Bai Cheng, who had just walked out of the bathroom, and immediately stood up to remind her.
Bai Cheng, wiping her hair, looked out the window, trying to see the distant triangular curtain through the endless darkness before her.
"Then let's quickly pack up and get ready to disembark."
After saying that, she quickly sat on the bed and began to put on her clothes, shoes, and socks. Her hair was casually tied into a bun, and before standing up, she didn't forget to smooth down a stubborn cowlick on top of her head.
As the triangular curtain gradually turned to ashes, the two trains slowly approached each other and then jointly entered the Station.
By this time, Bai Cheng and Yu Nian had already arrived at the front of the train, looking at the Station information on the screen first.
"Arrival Station: #4 Rainforest Island Station!"
"Station Type: Large Interconnected Station"
"Station Introduction: Fight to become king on Rainforest Island! Only Survivors in the winning channel can continue forward!"
"Remaining Departure Time: None"
"Station Rules: Employees cannot enter the Station, Magic Crystals cannot be used within the Station, Non-Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title can freely choose to enter!"
"Special Announcement: This Station connects all channels. The time has come to showcase your individual strength!"
Bai Cheng and Yu Nian both froze in place when they saw the information on the screen.
"This..."
Then, the train doors opened, and ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) the entire Station instantly lit up.
Leng Ningxue, who was standing nearby, also got off the train, her eyes also flickering with surprise and astonishment.
"Bai Cheng, this Station is making us kill each other with Survivors from other channels!"
At this moment, Bai Cheng also frowned. She had never expected Station #4 to be such a task.
More importantly, they couldn't bring employees into the Station, which meant it was entirely a test of the Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title's individual strength.
"And only one channel can win, a one-way trip..." A hint of solemnity flashed across Yu Nian's face.
Undoubtedly, with employees assisting them all the way, the task at Station #4 could be said to be the most dangerous Bai Cheng had encountered so far.
The three looked at each other, and finally, Yu Nian and Leng Ningxue both looked at Bai Cheng.
She paused. She was the only one who absolutely had to enter this Station.
"Don't worry, my strength is definitely not weak!" She raised her arm and confidently flexed her biceps. "My Life Weapon is a fusion of four legendary items!"
"But this place connects all channels. The Survivors from other Stations who can reach here at this time are probably also..."
Leng Ningxue didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood that anyone who could reach this point was no ordinary person.
If Bai Cheng was considered the number one person in Channel #2, then those currently arriving at this Station #4 were likely all 'number ones'.
"Isn't this system just messing with us!" Yu Nian said with dissatisfaction. "If I had known it was this kind of task, I would have used Magic Crystals to increase my strength earlier!"
The system seemed to anticipate the Survivors' actions. Now that she had entered the Station, Bai Cheng could no longer use Magic Crystals.
However, Bai Cheng was not Elite-grade One right now. Using all her Magic Crystals to slightly increase her strength wouldn't change anything, as there was still the promotion task blocking her way.
"It's alright. After all, we still don't know what the inside of the Station is like. It's too early to draw conclusions."
Then Bai Cheng shifted her gaze to Yu Nian and continued.
"Nian Nian, although you are Elite-grade now, you have no skills and no Life Weapon. For safety's sake, stay on the train this time."
Yu Nian pursed her lips in silence upon hearing this. She knew that in an unknown situation, going with them would only hold them back. Finally, she nodded helplessly.
"Okay, after this, I'll go make a Life Weapon."
Then Bai Cheng looked at Leng Ningxue, but before she could speak, the other person spoke first.
"Bai Cheng, I'm also Elite-grade now. If we're talking about employees, I'm certainly not as good as you.
But as an awakened combat talent, my individual ability might not be inferior to yours. I'll go with you; at least we can look out for each other."
Bai Cheng pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded, "Alright, we'll go together."
"Is there anything else we need to prepare?" Leng Ningxue asked.
"Food and water." Yu Nian immediately added, "If it really is a fight on an isolated island, it might not be easy to determine a winner quickly, and we don't know how long we'll have to stay."
The two nodded; these were indeed crucial supplies. Besides these, there were also some necessary survival tools.
However, no matter how many supplies they brought, a single survival backpack could easily handle them.
But these had already been mostly prepared before landing on the Station. The only things missing were some tools, such as lighters, flashlights, pickaxes, and axes.
The two quickly got everything ready and came to the mechanical door for authentication.
"Welcome to #4 Rainforest Island Station!"
"Scanning..."
"No, has this system even cut the blueprint rewards for logging into the Station now?" Bai Cheng pouted in dissatisfaction at the sight.
"More than that, even this Station task is just for continuing forward; there's no mention of rewards at all," Yu Nian also said, very displeased. "Who doesn't know that the train can't go backward!"
That's right, they had no choice but to move forward; they couldn't be stuck here forever.
Leng Ningxue also spread her hands, "There's nothing we can do about it."
But then, after the scan was complete, the mechanical door did not open as usual. Instead, a prompt popped up.
"Aside from Life Weapon-related items, you cannot bring any supplies (including tools) into the Station!"
The three were all stunned for a moment.
"Huh? What a joke!"
It turned out that not only could employees not enter the Station, but bringing supplies into the Station was also not allowed.
"I didn't expect that after surviving all this way, we'd have to experience that process all over again here," Bai Cheng said with a helpless smile.
Yu Nian immediately glared at her, "Still smiling? I'm worried to death!"
There was nothing they could do. The two could only hand their respective backpacks, and even the watches on their wrists, to Yu Nian.
Bai Cheng didn't forget to comfort her, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Leng Ningxue also nodded, "I'll help you take good care of Bai Cheng. After this is over, we'll have a big meal together!"
Who knew that Yu Nian, upon hearing this, shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly.
"What are you doing? You two, don't set up any death flags for me!"
After another scan, the small screen on the side no longer displayed the previous prompt. The mechanical door then emitted a dull sound and slowly opened.
A narrow corridor appeared before the two. Bai Cheng's gaze finally rested on Yu Nian, signaling her not to worry.
"Let's go!"
