Station Arrival: #6 Desert Temple Station!

Station Type: Multiplayer Collaborative Station

Station Introduction: The abandoned Desert Temple is about to be attacked by a large number of magical beasts. Protect its core and eliminate them!

Time Remaining Until Departure: 6 hours (Resist the magical beast attack until it ends)

Station Rules: Survivors cannot kill each other, cannot leave the Station before the attack ends, and if the core is destroyed, the Desert Temple will initiate a self-destruct sequence.

Reward: Temple Core (Replica) * 1.

The three of them carefully checked the Station information on the screen in front of them, a little surprised.

“A multiplayer collaborative Station?” Yu Nian asked, somewhat puzzled. “This means we have to cooperate, which is truly a first.”

Time and again, the events had proven that Survivors were all enemies, and now it had even reached the point where they would fight on sight.

They hadn't expected this Station to require their cooperation.

Bai Cheng reread the rules carefully, her expression unperturbed: “Don’t worry about these. We’ll just enter the Station directly later.”

Compared to the mission within the Station, she was actually more concerned about this unknown reward.

“Desert Temple... obviously, the next terrain will be a desert. I just don’t know what this Temple Core actually does.”

“Who cares!” Yu Nian, on the other hand, looked relaxed. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

With that, she was the first to open the car door.

As the train door opened, the entire Station interior instantly lit up.

But she quickly realized that this was just a single-person Station; there was no one else besides their train.

“Huh?”

Bai Cheng and Leng Ningxue inside the car also noticed the situation.

Leng Ningxue, beside her, asked doubtfully: “Speaking of which, are we traveling too fast?”

“Even so, it shouldn’t be a single-person Station, right?” Yu Nian’s retort came from outside the car, and at the same time, she realized another possibility.

“Wait, if we arrived too early, wouldn’t we have to wait for others here?”

Bai Cheng sighed: “Then there’s nothing we can do.”

Saying that, she looked at Lan Xiaoyu, who was still undergoing her breakthrough, and continued: “Anyway, Xiaoyu’s breakthrough will take some time, so we’ll just wait a bit longer.”

Then, Bai Cheng noticed that the mechanical door inside this Station was somewhat different from before, which also piqued her curiosity.

“I’ll go complete the verification first.”

After all, even if the mechanical door opened, it wouldn’t matter if they didn't enter the Station immediately.

Moreover, in Bai Cheng’s opinion, this verification was a completely superfluous step, as there was no possibility of them leaving once they entered the Station.

Leng Ningxue also followed her out, curiously looking around with Yu Nian, trying to find some useful information.

As Bai Cheng finished the verification in front of the mechanical door, the prompt that popped up on the screen was very different from before.

“Come quickly, look, there are more prompts,” she immediately reminded them.

The two rushed over upon hearing her, their faces full of curiosity.

Current Number of Arrivals at the Station: (4 / 8)

Hint: The number of participants is not yet complete, but you can choose to enter the Station early and start the mission. The difficulty will remain unchanged.

If more than half of the participants choose to enter the Station early, the mission will be forced to start.

Below that was a voting option for Bai Cheng to choose whether to enter the Station early, but while she was still speaking, let alone making a choice, the vote ratio on the screen instantly reached 3/4.

Undoubtedly, all three other Survivors who had already arrived, besides Bai Cheng, tacitly chose to enter the Station early.

Then, with a click, before the three of them could react, the mechanical door in front of them suddenly opened, revealing a long, narrow passage.

“No, are those other guys that °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° reckless?”

Fewer people, unchanged difficulty, but no increase in rewards.

According to the progressively increasing difficulty of Stations, this was actually something that warranted consideration.

However, Bai Cheng thought it was better this way; at least they wouldn’t have to waste any more time.

She had a Town Guardian Level employee by her side, so she was full of confidence in this simple and direct test of strength at the Station.

But Lan Xiaoyu’s breakthrough was not yet complete, so even though the passage was open, the three still chose not to enter, but continued to wait inside the Station.

After all, the prompt didn’t say the mission would start early.

Just like that, another two and a half hours passed. A terrifying energy, making one’s heart palpitate, suddenly erupted within the empty and quiet Station, and then the water elements contained in the air surged wildly towards the train at that moment.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng and the other two immediately looked back, their faces filled with joy.

“She finally succeeded in her breakthrough!”

She immediately went to the screen to check Lan Xiaoyu’s newly acquired abilities.

A legendary promotion to Immortality resulted in an all-around enhancement.

Employee: Lan Xiaoyu

Race: Deep Sea

Level: General Tier 9 (8%)

Quality: Immortal

Trait 1: Mechanical Behemoth “Gui”: Unlocks a second form, possessing the ability to transform from a “mechanical shark” to a “humanoid,” and can freely traverse and shuttle through all terrains.

Trait 2: Mechanical Modification: Enhances all mechanical products, increasing their performance by 200%, and can gain experience from any mechanical creation.

Trait 3: Heavenly Water Spirit: Controls all changes of water elements, with a radius of one hundred meters under her control.

Trait 4: Deep Sea Eye: Below her own level, she can expend energy to forcibly dominate any magical beast or creature primarily composed of water elements.

Looking at the information about Lan Xiaoyu’s promotion, Bai Cheng only regretted not having her promoted sooner.

Otherwise, dealing with the Merfolk Clan in the Nameless Sea would have been so much easier.

But there was nothing she could do; she hadn’t obtained a heart of immortality during that time.

However, overall, this was still an all-around enhancement.

Yu Nian, on the other hand, stroked her chin thoughtfully: “Xiaoyu’s current strength... is very close to Town Guardian Level.”

Leng Ningxue, seeing this, immediately suggested: “How about we get some more magic crystals and let Xiaoyu advance to Town Guardian first?”

“This Station mission is already short on people, so this would at least provide an extra layer of security,” she added.

Bai Cheng also felt it made sense and nodded: “Good.”

Afterward, they began to have Lan Xiaoyu absorb all their magic crystal inventory, and if it wasn’t enough, they would naturally buy more as needed.

Another hour passed with this back and forth. Meanwhile, the three Survivors who had already taken their positions inside the Station were still standing there, their heads covered in cobwebs.

There was no other way; their mission couldn't start until the last person stepped into the Station.

The few of them had stood motionless like statues for several hours, and one of them finally couldn’t take it anymore, his mouth twitching, and he cursed loudly.

“What the hell, is that guy lost his mind in the Station, why isn’t he coming in?!”
