“Looks very smooth,” Black Sheep said, looking at the leaders of the several teams before him.

An unknown old man, Old Deng, Aunty Tong, plus the newly arrived Yan Zhichun, Jiang Ruoxue, and Old Sun’s three teams—six of the expected seven teams had all arrived.

“We can’t wait for the last team,” Black Sheep said. “‘Participants’ bring your ‘convictions’ and prepare to depart. ‘Zodiacs’ do as you please.”

After hearing this, the several “zodiacs” looked at each other, then scattered to act separately.

“What’s going on…?” Old Sun turned his head to look at Yan Zhichun. “Why is there one team missing? Little Sister, who didn’t come?”

Yan Zhichun felt the current situation had some discrepancy with the actual situation and hastily spoke up, “There should still be two teams. They’re all alive—one team with Xiao Xiao, one team with Zhoumo.”

“Where are they?! Why aren’t they coming?!” Old Sun asked again. “It’s a straight path—just come already!”

As several people were talking, they saw Zhoumo leading several people running quickly from the distance.

“Tsk, damn it… there were some ‘participant-level’ people blocking the way…” Zhoumo ran up to them and caught her breath. “They’re all killed now. It’s quiet.”

Everyone felt relieved seeing Zhoumo arrive, but looking again, where was this “Extreme Path” team that had run over?

Qian Wu, Zhou Liu, Bai Jiu, Luo Shiyi—these several famously renowned “Cats” were all there, along with Officer Li and Su Shan.

Zhoumo noticed everyone staring at her and could only shake her head, saying, “Something unexpected happened. The ‘Extreme Path’ encountered a ‘Death Gate,’ so we could only let the ‘Cats’ enter.”

“Good that you came,” Yan Zhichun said. “Then now only…”

Although everyone hadn’t seen it, they could imagine that trouble had occurred on Xiao Xiao, Lin Qin, and Zheng Yingxiong’s side.

Even if they hadn’t encountered danger outside, on the “train” there was still the possibility of death.

Jiang Ruoxue looked at Zhoumo. “What are you standing there for? Quickly use ‘Sound Transmission’ to ask! What use are you?”

“Tsk, you bitch, don’t cause me trouble. If I could use it, I would’ve fucking used it already,” Zhoumo said with furrowed brows. “In this godforsaken place, all ‘echoes’ have failed.”

“Can’t use ‘echoes’ here?” The many “Extreme Path” members fell into confusion.

Their only reliance for challenging the “train” was “echoes.” If they couldn’t trigger “echoes,” how could they fight those “zodiacs”?

“Echoes can be used…” Yan Zhichun said.

After hearing this, Zhoumo looked at her. “Tsk, how?”

“I…” Yan Zhichun paused, the words reaching her lips but not coming out.

According to what Chu Tianqiu had said at the time, as long as one firmly believed they had already obtained an “echo,” that would suffice.

But once these words were spoken, for those whose subconscious wasn’t strong, it would become “never echo,” because they would fall into a state of “uncertainty.”

Her brain spun rapidly—how did Qi Xia manage to let everyone obtain “echoes” at that time?

“Right… Zheng Yingxiong…” Yan Zhichun was startled, suddenly thinking of this living “bell.”

As long as he announced that the other party had obtained an “echo,” then the other party could definitely “echo.”

But Zheng Yingxiong and Xiao Xiao were on the same team. Not only that, Lin Qin, who claimed to be an “Activator,” was also among them. They still hadn’t come to join up until now.

Could it be that there was no way at this time?

“None of you have ‘echoes’?” Jiang Ruoxue slowly walked forward. “Even I can’t tell if my ‘echo’ is present or not. Let me try!”

She reached out her hand and grabbed Yan Zhichun.

“Zhichun, what are you thinking?” Jiang Ruoxue asked.

“I…” Yan Zhichun sighed. “I’m thinking about how to let everyone stably obtain ‘echoes.'”

“Good,” Jiang Ruoxue nodded. “Zhichun, you must understand the logical relationship here… Now as long as you close your eyes and open them again, you’ll see the person who can help you solve this problem.”

Yan Zhichun naturally knew Jiang Ruoxue’s abilities, so she closed her eyes at this moment. After a few seconds, she opened them again, but before her was still Jiang Ruoxue.

That made sense too… Jiang Ruoxue was standing right in front of her. How could she see anyone else when opening her eyes?

“This…” Yan Zhichun was a bit stunned. “Ruoxue… is your ‘echo’ really present?”

“Uh…” Jiang Ruoxue smiled awkwardly. “Hehe, I’m not clear either… I have absolutely no sensation at all.”

“I think you should still…”

Yan Zhichun was just about to say something when she suddenly paused, because she discovered that in her line of sight wasn’t only Jiang Ruoxue, but also Su Shan not far behind Jiang Ruoxue.

The reason this unfamiliar woman was here was…?

“Wait… could it be her…?”

Yan Zhichun let go of Jiang Ruoxue’s hand and walked to Su Shan’s side, opening her mouth to ask, “Sister, what is your ‘echo’?”

“I’m… ‘Spiritual Vision’…”

After hearing this, Yan Zhichun slowly widened her eyes. Was this coincidence or “karma”?

She didn’t know whether Jiang Ruoxue had stumbled upon it by accident or really activated her ability, but the solution was actually right before her eyes.

“Sister! I need to ask you for a favor…” Yan Zhichun pulled Su Shan aside and said mysteriously.

Old Sun turned his head back and looked at the teammates who had now arrived. His gaze couldn’t help but stop on that old man.

He thought of himself as the social butterfly of the “Extreme Path,” but he seemed to have never spoken with the old man before him.

“Old man,” Old Sun called out. “Your body is quite sturdy.”

“Ah, yes, young fellow,” the old man nodded. “I’ve done physical labor my whole life. Wouldn’t that make me sturdy?”

“Old man, what did you do?”

“Farming,” the old man said, then shook his head. “No, wait. Now I’m a researcher.”

“Yo, that’s quite high-class,” Old Sun said. “Are you doing a career change here? That’s quite a leap.”

“Yes…” The old man mysteriously turned his head back to look at Old Sun. “I’m just hoping our operation this time ends quickly. I still have things to research.”

“Research what?”

“Research ‘evolution,'” the old man extended a finger, pointing at himself. “Young fellow, tell me, what did we humans… evolve from?”

“What the…?” Old Sun didn’t quite understand. “Old man, you’re researching evolutionary theory in this godforsaken place?”

“Yes… it’ll be soon… the results will come soon,” the old man nodded. “I remember I was just about to dig into important content when suddenly I found myself standing on the street. Right now I’m extremely anxious.”

Although they’d only exchanged a few words, Old Sun also discovered this old man was neurotic and could only stop paying attention to him.

No matter what he was researching, as long as it didn’t affect the entire team’s safety, that was fine.

After Su Shan also conversed with Yan Zhichun for a while, she nodded repeatedly, then turned back to tell everyone, “Everyone… now I have something to notify you all about.”
