"Quiet down, think carefully, newlyweds."

Another veteran Tang Ping, couldn't stand the newcomers' noisy behavior.

After all, the Dungeon is about to start. If these newbies still can't accept reality and start shouting and yelling in the Dungeon, then...

What if he gets caught in a death trap?

If it weren't for the fact that fighting between team members wasn't prohibited on the Infinite Train, he would have already taken care of these newcomers with a single strike.

You are all dead.

"You were able to be resurrected because you signed a contract, joined the Infinite Train, and became Reincarnators. As long as you keep clearing Dungeon and earning points, you can live on indefinitely."

After calming down, the newcomers thought about it carefully, and gradually they recalled that vague memory.

They are indeed dead.

As they were on the verge of death and their consciousness was fading, a voice approached them, asking if they wanted to join the Infinite Train so that they could be resurrected.

Driven by a strong will to survive and unwilling to die, they signed a contract, selling themselves to the Infinite Train and becoming reincarnators.

A tall, burly man in his thirties, after remembering what had happened, stopped shouting. "Damn it, that guy dared to stab me with a knife! When I get back, I'll kill his whole family!"

"I think I collapsed at my desk after working overtime for a week straight. Did I actually die suddenly?"

"I was hit and killed by a truck while crossing the street."

The newlyweds died in all sorts of ways, and their expressions after realizing they weren't kidnapped but already dead were incredibly varied.

People have a strong will to live when they are dying.

But even after experiencing death, they still have a great fear of death and injury.

"Um, you guys seem to know a lot about Dungeon. Are you seasoned players who have already cleared Dungeon?"

A girl wearing glasses and with a refined appearance asked.

Tang Ping snorted coldly, "So what if I am? Do you expect me to protect you?"

"No." After experiencing a series of complex emotional changes, Li Yue quickly began to think about what she should do next after accepting the fact that she had died and become a reincarnator.

Li Yue herself came from a rural family, and the poverty of the countryside constantly limited her.

The parents, worn down by life and struggling to make ends meet, wanted Li Yue, who was only sixteen years old, to drop out of school and marry a bachelor in his forties from the village, just to get the 40,000 yuan dowry.

Li Yue desperately fled that place and, through her own abilities, got into a very good university. She supported herself by working part-time in her spare time.

After graduation, he landed a good job at a company thanks to his excellent abilities.

She works incredibly hard.

Because she wanted to buy her own house in this big city and completely break free from the control of her family of origin.

Sadly, she died suddenly at work.

Li Yue is very capable; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to gain her boss's favor and become a department manager in such a short time.

"I just want to learn more about the Dungeon. After all, there's strength in numbers. Even if you're veterans, you don't want the newbies to be dragging the team down, right?"

Tang Ping gave her a strange look. "You're quite calm."

If this newbie can maintain this state, they might be able to survive until the end of the Dungeon.

With certain intentions in mind, Tang Ping shared some information related to the Dungeon.

The newlyweds all kept these things in mind.

Sometimes, this knowledge can save their lives.

"The mission in this Dungeon is to survive in the Small Town for seven days. After seven days, we can be teleported back to the Infinite Train from the Dungeon. For each Dungeon we complete, we will receive a minimum of two thousand points."

"These points can be used to purchase the food, water, and medicine we need on the Infinite Train, as well as some special abilities to enhance our physical strength."

"However, we can only consider these things after you survive and return to the Infinite Train."

Xiao Lai's expression was very serious. The information about the Dungeon was not very detailed, and the mission only allowed them to survive for a week.

The simpler the task, the greater the danger they face.

This is because it means that the Infinite Train believes they would be lucky to survive until that time.

"Next, you'd better play it safe and don't run around or say anything carelessly. Don't let anything slip in front of the NPCs about the Infinite Train or that we are Reincarnators."

"Those NPCs are much smarter than you think."

Tang Ping gave the newcomers a warning.

Experienced individuals generally possess a wealth of information, so there's no need to worry about them.

These newcomers are unsettling; if he weren't afraid of getting himself implicated, he wouldn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"Ten minutes have passed. Once this barrier disappears, we'll officially enter the Dungeon."

Tang Ping said.

Soon, the surrounding barrier became transparent and then disappeared.

Shen Yu, who had been hiding nearby and overheard their conversation, seemed thoughtful. Infinite Train? Reincarnators?

That's quite interesting.

I never expected they were a group of players using the "infinite flow" strategy.

I wonder if there's a supreme deity standing behind that Infinite Train?

Shen Yu remained hidden beside them, silently observing them.

After the barrier disappeared, the group of people officially came into the view of the Small Town's residents.

A group of outsiders suddenly arrived in the Small Town, and the residents welcomed them with great enthusiasm.

Through conversations with the residents, the reincarnators learned that they were a group of outsiders who had come to this Small Town specifically to help with a funeral.

The deceased was an elderly person from the town.

The residents hesitated, noticing that there were women among them, but having heard that they had a good reputation in the business, they entrusted the matter to them with some skepticism.

The family holding the funeral had already prepared the necessary items and was about to ask if they needed anything else.

Several experienced people went to take stock, and there was incense, candles, and paper money. A coffin was placed there in the mourning hall.

The candles and incense are burning, and their distinctive scent can be smelled from a great distance.

While the host family was busy entertaining guests, the task of keeping vigil fell to them.

Xiao Lai's lips twitched.

He exchanged glances with the other veterans, knowing that Dungeon was probably a supernatural Dungeon that none of them wanted to experience.

Keeping vigil is obviously a dangerous thing to do.

So they selected a few new recruits and divided them into several groups. The nine new recruits were divided into three groups of three, and they took turns keeping watch at night.
