46: Team up? I don't want to get backstabbed.

Wang Feng jolted and scrambled to his feet.

What?

The train is accelerating?!

A Battlefield Elimination Tournament?!

Urgent knocking sounded from outside the door.

"Master!"

"Did you hear that?"

"The train is about to accelerate! And... the matter of the carriage eliminations!"

Wang Feng opened the door.

Zhang Yuqi had a solemn expression.

Wang Feng touched her face to soothe her emotions.

Then he walked into the main area of the carriage.

Everyone looked at Wang Feng in a panic.

They clearly didn't know what to do.

Wang Feng felt the same.

He hadn't expected... that in the Train Survival Game, there would actually be mechanisms for acceleration and full-carriage elimination.

They really aren't giving us a single moment to breathe!

"Boss!"

"What should we do?"

Everyone in the carriage was waiting for Wang Feng's answer.

Just as Wang Feng was about to reply, his personal terminal received messages.

They were from Bi Mengli and Liu Mei.

Bi Mengli—

"Wang Feng, did you hear the announcement?"

"Do you have time? I'd like to meet with you!"

Liu Mei—

"Brother Wang Feng—!!!"

"I'm so scared! The train is going to accelerate, and fifty carriages are going to be eliminated!"

"Brother Wang Feng—come keep me company~ I'm begging you!"

Besides those, there were many friend requests.

The people from some lower-level carriages were extremely sincere, practically kneeling on the ground begging him to carry them.

The higher-level carriages weren't doing much better.

Train acceleration... full-carriage elimination!

No matter the level of the carriage, they would all face the same disaster!

"Wait for me in the carriage."

"I'm going out for a bit."

"Don't panic, and don't be afraid."

"We'll discuss everything when I get back!"

Having said that,

Wang Feng prepared to leave.

As a result, Zhang Yuqi weakly tugged at his hand.

Looking back, he found that Zhang Yuqi's expression, besides a touch of solemnity, also held a deep attachment.

Wang Feng stroked her face.

She narrowed her eyes, forcefully feeling the roughness of his palm.

"Master..."

"Your servant will always wait for you."

"Mm." Wang Feng withdrew his hand.

The lingering warmth in his palm filled his heart with determination... "Oh my~"

"Brother Wang Feng~ You finally came!"

Only carriages level three and above could unlock the public areas.

Wang Feng walked with large strides to the agreed-upon location.

The Gathering and Entertainment Hall—

An old silent movie was playing on one side.

There were also several boxes of board games.

However, no one was in the mood for those things.

Many people had gathered here.

They were all captains from various carriages.

Wang Feng spotted Bi Mengli and Liu Mei at a glance.

After all, they were the most beautiful women on Train Z2425.

"Wang Feng!" Bi Mengli was the first to notice him.

Subsequently, Liu Mei also looked over.

"Ah~ Brother Wang Feng—!!!"

Today, Bi Mengli was wearing a cool summer outfit.

An off-the-shoulder gauze top paired with a high-waisted skirt; the hem swayed as she walked, and her smooth, slender legs were eye-catching.

Liu Mei, on the other hand, wore a red and black tight-fitting qipao with high slits.

She held a folding fan in her hand.

The overall ensemble matched her naturally seductive charm perfectly.

The two women quickly approached him.

"You've come at just the right time!"

"We're having a meeting over here!"

A meeting?

Wang Feng gave a cold snort.

The train was accelerating, and fifty whole carriages were going to be eliminated.

This was a zero-sum game.

If you lose, the whole carriage dies.

Only by winning can you survive.

Therefore, this wasn't something that could be resolved through discussion.

Wang Feng scanned the room.

Ke Yutang, an old acquaintance.

Wan Jinxuan, with whom he had just formed a grudge yesterday.

Du Hao, the captain of the Eighth Sequence Caoliu Squad... it was truly a gathering of 'elites'.

What could possibly be discussed with a bunch of trash like this?

Wang Feng shook his head.

Led by Bi Mengli and Liu Mei, he took a seat.

The two beauties flanked Wang Feng, sandwiching him in the middle.

Furthermore, both of them leaned toward Wang Feng as if by prior agreement.

Two different scents wafted toward Wang Feng, elegance and passion intertwining.

Quite a few envious gazes were cast from the surroundings.

It was as if they were saying:

There are only these two top-tier beauties on Train Z2425!

Why do you get to have one on each arm?

Wang Feng gave them a cold look.

The train is accelerating, a cruel elimination tournament is about to begin, and they're still thinking about this trivial nonsense.

A bunch of short-sighted trash.

With just a single glance, these people tactfully averted their eyes.

"Everyone, I am Cai Yonghuai, ranked first in the First Sequence."

"I currently have a Level 7 Shop."

"I believe you've all heard about the train acceleration."

"We don't know how long this acceleration will last,"

"But since some must be eliminated and some will survive, then why shouldn't those survivors be us?"

Oh.

Wang Feng understood.

This meeting wasn't to discuss clearing instances.

It was for... recruitment.

"So I propose that everyone present form an organization."

"If we are assigned to the same instance, we will not oppose each other."

"We will focus our antagonism on those carriages with weaker strength."

"This way, our Points and rankings will be guaranteed, and the train will eliminate those weaklings."

Ke Yutang was the first to stand up in agreement.

"I have no problem with that."

His Points had already been picked clean by Wang Feng.

Right now, he was destitute, relying even on the people in his carriage for food.

In the last instance, it was heard that he lost miserably, and his Shop level was also deducted.

Wan Jinxuan gave a cold snort and also stood up.

"I also feel that some trash simply doesn't deserve to live."

"Rather than fighting amongst ourselves, it's better to let the trash be eliminated first."

"Once the trash is cleared out, it won't be too late for us to compete against each other."

Wang Feng remained silent.

He was in no mood to pity the weak.

But he wouldn't associate with these people either.

Ke Yutang and Wan Jinxuan alone were not worth his trust.

Join?

He'd only realize his mistake when he got backstabbed!

"Wang Feng, are you going to participate?" Bi Mengli whispered.

Liu Mei crossed her long legs and snapped open her folding fan.

*Sniff sniff—*

"Ugh~ the smell here is disgusting!"

"It's just like a trash squad; anyway, I'm not considering it."

"If Brother Wang Feng joins, then I'll join~"

Wang Feng thought for a moment and gave his answer.

"I'll pass."

"There are too many untrustworthy people in this organization."

"Hehe~" Liu Mei pressed her entire body against him.

"Since Brother Wang Feng isn't joining, then I'm not going either."

Bi Mengli didn't hesitate for long either.

Wang Feng had once saved her and the Dancer Squad in an instance.

She believed in Wang Feng's character.

Compared to teaming up with strong people,

She preferred teaming up with someone she trusted.

"I'm not joining either."

"However, Wang Feng." She looked at him seriously.

"While I won't join this organization, I still hope to have teammates I can trust."

"I... want to team up with you."

"Great, great—!!!" Liu Mei's voice rang out.

"I want to team up with Brother Wang Feng too~"

Wang Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Me?"

"The Shop level of Carriage No. 83 is only 0."

"Are you sure you want to team up with me?"

"Mm-hmm-hmm—!!!" Liu Mei nodded repeatedly.

In her excitement, it almost felt like she had a tail wagging frantically behind her.

"I... I also want to team up with you."

"Because you..."

Bi Mengli's voice grew smaller and smaller.

In the end, she even leaned directly against Wang Feng's ear.

"Because you saved my life."

"I'm willing to believe in you, and I'm willing to entrust my back to you."

Wang Feng looked at Bi Mengli.

In her watery eyes, intense emotions flickered.

It seemed that when he was kiting the Shield Mountain Zombie at the Twin Towers, he had unintentionally saved her life.

That had caused her to trust him.

It could be considered an unintentional act bearing fruit.

However, it was still the same saying:

Trust isn't something spoken with the mouth; it must be proven with actual deeds.

Previously at the Gym, the two of them had stood by his side unconditionally.

They had also helped him shoulder some of the Points.

Wang Feng was willing to give them a chance.

"Fine."

"Yay—!!!" Liu Mei excitedly hugged him directly.

Wang Feng really wanted to shove an electric tail on her.

To watch it wagging like a propeller behind her.

Bi Mengli was much more reserved, but she still couldn't help leaning closer to Wang Feng.

However, Liu Mei's voice had attracted everyone's attention.

Standing at the very front, Cai Yonghuai frowned slightly and let out a cough.
