Chapter 294 The Eighth
Stop When the countdown reached the last hour, a boarding guidance arrow appeared on everyone's mobile phone screen.
You Xi and his group had been waiting nearby. When they saw the guidance arrow and were about to board the train, Lin Wu noticed another pop-up window on the screen.
"What is this?"
Others also noticed the pop-up window.
After You Xi clicked on the pop-up window, he found that it was a new prompt.
Tip: Congratulations to the "Good Morning" team for completing seven station tasks in total. The "VIP Train" and "VIP Train Entrance" have been opened. After the team obtains the "Golden Team Ticket", they can board the train through the "VIP Train Entrance".
Golden Team Ticket: None.
The word "gold" was too eye-catching. Except for Xing Min, who was not in the sleeping compartment before, everyone else immediately thought of the gorgeous golden train they saw in the dark before arriving at the "Glorious Academy".
They had previously guessed that the station where the golden train arrived might be the final station, but they did not expect to receive relevant information so soon.
Lin Wu quickly gave his analysis: "So, this 'VIP Train' will only be activated when the team completes the seven station tasks. If it is a single person, it may not be activated no matter how many stations they go through."
"Seven stations?" You Zhenzhen calculated, "But I haven't been through seven stations since I joined the team, right?"
Tang Yatong calculated and found that she had not been through seven stations since she joined the team: "It's the 'Good Morning' team, which should have started from the station where You Xi set up the team."
You Xi calculated and nodded to Tang Yatong: "Yes, I met Lin Wu when I arrived at the first station of the Endless Train, and we formed a team at that time. Because I formed the team here, I was appointed as the captain by default."
"That's the seventh station." Lin Wu looked at his phone again, "The VIP train entrance is open? Where is it?"
Everyone soon found out where the "VIP train entrance" was. When they followed the boarding guidance arrows and passed through a door and entered the departure hall, they curiously discovered that a second platform entrance appeared in the originally dilapidated and old station hall.
In normal stations in reality, it is very common for the same departure hall to have multiple ticket gates. The special ones are always the stations in the endless train world. The
new platform entrance is opened on one side of the hall, with a staircase leading up. From their perspective, they can see that there is an extra door on the wall above the stairs.
A very faint red light enveloped the stairs and doors, giving the dimly lit station hall an eerie feel.
The six people in the team could see the extra stairs and platform entrance, but in the short time they stayed in the hall, they found that other passengers passing through the hall seemed unable to see the entrance to the second platform.
Those passengers who passed by even became more alert because of their stares, and they ran quickly to the platform with high alert all the way.
You Zhenzhen waved the electric baton in her hand twice, and put her foot on Tang Yatong's neck: "Sister Yatong, they are all scared away by you!"
Tang Yatong was the only one among the few people who showed her weapon. She pinched You Zhenzhen's face and changed the position of the MP5 on her shoulder: "Is this the entrance to the VIP train? It doesn't look VIP, but it looks like the entrance to hell."
Everyone felt the same way. They looked at the stairs and the second platform entrance for a moment, and they all had some doubts and thoughts in their hearts, but this was not a good place to talk, so they quickly entered the platform.
On the platform of the A-level to S-level station, not many passengers actually took action.
The team of six people was a little bigger than before, and they rarely caused trouble on purpose at the station, so other passengers on the platform watched more when they saw them.
Tang Yatong and You Zhenzhen encountered many passengers who took the initiative to cause trouble this time, but neither of them liked to be indecisive, and those who took the initiative to cause trouble were all wiped out by them.
At this time, a small team of people kept staring at Tang Yatong and You Zhenzhen with burning eyes after they stepped onto the platform. It was possible that someone from a certain team had ambushed them but never came back. It
was probably someone that the same team had targeted together. They remembered their appearance and might have planned to wait for an opportunity to attack them while the platform was in chaos, and take back their own team's props and tickets.
But now seeing that there are six people in their team, they naturally gave up such intention.
In such a team, some people are wary and fearful, and naturally there are also people who want to rely on and cling to them.

{Please show your ticket}
{Ticket checking, please wait...}
{Tickets checked, please pay attention to the number of remaining stops on the ticket}
{Reminder: No fighting inside the train}
...
As soon as the group stepped into the door and had no time to check the next stop option, someone waved at them from the side, saying that she was a passenger who had just boarded the train and had not yet chosen the next stop because she wanted to join a team.
She was a young girl who looked gentle and harmless.
When she saw them looking at her, she immediately smiled and then explained why she wanted to join.
She said her name was Mengsha and she had already experienced several stops alone. In
a world where only the fittest survive, there are always more women dying than men. She has always wanted to join a team, but most of the teams she has seen before are dominated by men, and some teams don't even have a single woman.
Team members are only immune to damage, not to other things...
Such a team is a bit daunting for her, but their team is different. The ratio of men to women is just right, and the boys all look very upright, so she really wants to join.
You Zhenzhen looked at the other person's eyes wandering between Xing Min, Xi Yuan, and Lin Wu, and sneered: "Looking very upright? She might as well just say that they look very pleasing to the eye."
While You Zhenzhen was paying attention to the other person's eyes, You Xi and Tang Yatong were checking the weapons on each other's backs. It was an ordinary-looking axe, and the axe part looked like ordinary iron, and it seemed a bit old and black.
But they are all familiar with the texture of this metal. Lin Wu's bound weapon "iron stick" is made of this metal.
This girl is not only a traveler, but also a tasker.
In the world of the system tower, there are many types of weapons that can be selected for binding, ranging from ancient times to the present, from the East to the West, and you can choose from a variety of styles.
Most people would choose hot weapons, or if they are lucky and have enough points, they would choose cold weapons with special functions. The former is Tang Yatong's MP5, and the latter is Xiyuan's black long sword.
Normal people would not choose the "iron stick"-shaped binding weapon that Lin Wu chose, which looks ugly and has no special function, so it is rarely seen and inconspicuous.
Since the girl is a tasker, there is a 70% chance that the reason she said at this moment for wanting to join the team is false.
But this is on the train, and passengers cannot fight each other. Youxi and Tang Yatong don't have to worry that she will suddenly attack Xing Min and the others.
Youxi thought that since she was going there for a boy, there was nothing for them girls to do here for the time being - although they were good friends, good friends should also have their own private time, so she called Zhenzhen and wanted to go to the berth compartment in the back first.
She hadn't taken a few steps when she heard footsteps behind her.
"Xiaoxi!"
Xiyuan, who had been standing there and seemed to be listening to the girl carefully a moment ago, rushed behind her and hugged her shoulders from behind: "Why didn't you wait for me? Are you angry?"
"...Why should I be angry?"
This action was very common for Xiyuan. He often did this to her at the Fairy Tale Park station, but at this station, because they met late and everyone was there after they met, he hadn't found a chance to act coquettishly with her like this.
Xing Min turned his gaze away, staring at the arm on You Xi's shoulder, his long eyebrows knitted up a little.
Lin Wu had seen a lot and had long been accustomed to it, so he was a little curious about Xing Min's reaction. Based on his observations during this period, You Xi and Xing Min were definitely not the relationship that others thought and guessed.
Their relationship was good, and there was a tacit understanding between them that ordinary people could hardly interfere with, but this closeness and tacit understanding were not between men and women, at least not for You Xi to Xing Min.
But this closeness and tacit understanding were equally enviable, because they had long surpassed the relationship between ordinary people, as if there was an invisible tie that tightly bound the two people together.
To everyone's surprise, the one who took action before Xing Min was the girl with the axe.
"Hello, may I ask if I have the honor to be your team member?" She smiled and stretched out her hand to Youxi, "Xiaoxi? Is that your name? Can I call you that?"
"No!" Xiyuan used his fingers to pull the person into his arms, "We don't want to add new members to our team. Please make way, we have things to do."
Xiyuan said everything Youxi wanted to say. Xing Min and Lin Wu happened to come over at this time, so she said "sorry" to them, and then followed her friends to the back car. Behind
them, Mengsha stood there and watched them go, with a faint gentle smile on her lips.

Departure time: 15:00
Previous stop: Guangming College
Arrival ahead: Not yet selected
Teammates detected, please select the destination station.
Youxi: Pinocchio (S rank), Devouring Land (A rank), Dream Town (S rank)

Tang Yatong: Devouring Land (A rank), Extreme Temperature (A rank)

Xiyuan: Devouring Land (A rank), Dream Town (S rank)
Xing Min: Pinocchio (S rank), Devouring Land (A rank)
This is another station that seems to have a choice, but in fact there is no choice.
Everyone took out their mobile phones and chose "Devouring Land" together.
Arrival ahead: Devouring Land
Detected that the team bunk upgrade ticket has been used.
Tip: The next station will arrive in 39 hours.
This time the station was more brain-intensive. We had been together for the last few days, and in a relatively safe time frame, so no one felt too tired.
So, after everyone chose the station, no one wanted to rest, and they sat around the booths again, turning the topic back to the "VIP train".
You Xi said that since other passengers could not see the "VIP train entrance", it could be guessed that the staircase and the "VIP train entrance" might have always existed in the departure hall of the hidden car.
They could not see it before for the same reason - the "VIP train entrance" function had not been activated.
If the golden train really leads to the terminal station as everyone guessed, then their main task next is to find the "Golden Team Ticket" or to find relevant clues from other passengers.
In addition, the Bright Academy could not stock up, and only some instant foods and bottled water were dropped when monsters were killed. As for the previous stop, Fran City, it was not long before the outbreak, and due to pollution and other reasons, no one stocked up on food and water.
So now after these two stops, the food and water in their space are much less, especially the clean water storage, because of the existence of the tree house, everyone consumes a lot every day.
Of course, because of the large amount of stockpiled in the early stage, plus the metal ice, the current water volume in the space is still enough for their daily drinking and small use, but it is definitely not possible to live comfortably and use it as they wish.
Considering that the "Devouring Land" to be arrived at later may also be a station with a shortage of supplies, and even if the luck is bad, it will still be the same at the next stop, so everyone evenly distributes the supplies and water in the space and item grid.
Those who had no space, like Xing Min and Xi Yuan, each packed a bottle of metal ice and packed a survival backpack with some nutrient solution. They left a compartment for sealed barrels of fuel, one for large thermal weapons, and one for unsealed ammunition.
Xing Min and Xi Yuan said they didn't need it at first, but after You Xi asked, they compromised.
Tang Yatong and Lin Wu, who had little space, mainly packed metal ice and small but filling Meiji hamburgers and other ready-to-eat foods, convenient ration bags, canned food, dehydrated vegetables, plus some bottled water, fuel, basic daily necessities, survival backpacks...
Other foods that took up space but were not necessary, as well as daily water in boxes, were all placed with You Xi and You Zhen Zhen.
This was to avoid the situation of lack of supplies and not being able to meet for a while, and to ensure everyone's survival needs first.
The more stations we passed, the stronger our tacit understanding became. After we finished the material issue and listened to Youxi talk about the memory fragments she had obtained, we relaxed and rested.
Before the train left the platform, two more teams boarded, one of which also had many girls.
Because of the large number of people in this team, they also chose the team sleeping compartment.
Tang Yatong listened to the other team passing by their compartment, and said to Youxi, "No." Youxi nodded and replied, "Not only no, they didn't even mention it."
"What do you mean?" You Zhenzhen was curious, "What are you talking about?"
You Xi stroked her soft hair and explained, "The girl who wanted to join us just now said that the reason she wanted to join was that there are more girls in our team, which would make her feel more secure. But the team that just went there had a total of 11 people, more than half of whom were girls, but she did not apply to join.
If she really wanted to join the team as she said, she would definitely pay close attention to the team getting on the bus, and like we did when we got on the bus, she would step forward and ask to join the team. But after that team got on the bus, she did not step forward to talk."
After listening to the explanation, You Zhenzhen was shocked: "Wow, you can hear the noise from so far away? You deserve my mother!"
"..."
Xiyuan, who was sitting opposite, laughed twice, and You Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him.
Xiyuan took out the flying chess: "Will you come?"
"Come! But this time I can't use food, I have to use props as bets!"
"Okay."
You Zhenzhen added: "Nine games, five wins, the loser can only choose to sleep on the bed farthest from my mother tonight!"
You Xi:...
"What about the winner?"
"Whatever, as long as she doesn't hit you, you can sleep with her if you want!"
Xing Min:... You
Xi:...
You are so outrageous!
However, half an hour later, when You Zhenzhen lost four games in a row, Xing Min, who had been sitting quietly beside You Xi and watching her paint, suddenly moved. He stood up, walked slowly to the two people playing chess, and then sat down: "I'll join."
Xi Yuan: ...
**
That night, Xi Yuan was angrily forced to choose the bed farthest from You Xi.
The only winner Xing Min gave You Xi's upper bed to her in You Zhenzhen's pitiful sight, and then chose another lower bed on the same side.
Before turning off the lights, Xi Yuan pulled You Xi and insisted that she touch her head and say good night to him.
"Come back to me when you become a wolf, or a dog will do." You Xi stretched out her hand and tapped him hard on the forehead, said good night to him, and then kicked him away.
More than half an hour later, the lighted box became quiet.
You Xi didn't know how long she had slept in a daze, and found a figure on the edge of the bed, with the other's fingers still on her cheek. Based on her previous experience, she subconsciously pushed the other's fingers away and said softly: "...Xiyuan? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"No."
You Xi opened her eyes suddenly, and all her sleepiness disappeared for a while.
She saw the other's beautiful blue eyes under his long eyelashes in the dark, and You Xi was a little surprised: "Why is it you?"
[You haven't said good night to me yet. ]
You Xi:...
How long have you slept before you remembered? You even need to transmit your voice? Why bother coming here if you want to use voice transmission?
Youxi had a lot of complaints in her mind, but the other party was Xing Min, and she would always be more tolerant towards him subconsciously.
She curled up the corners of her lips and said softly, "Good night, Xing Min."
The person sitting next to the bed suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to her ear. The light and warm breath brushed her earlobe, bringing a hint of itch: "Good night, Youxi."
**
{The next station is: Devouring Land, stop time 10 minutes. }
{Passengers who have received the reminder to get off the station, please get off. }
{Reminder: Please be sure to leave the platform within 10 minutes. }
After the train stopped and the door opened, the passengers standing in the carriage were startled.
What is this...?
