Chapter 295: Devouring Land
Outside the train, the platform that was supposed to be intact is now...broken!
No matter how shabby the original platform was, or how dim the lights were, it at least looked like a complete platform, but now the ground and walls of the platform are completely cracked, splitting and dispersing like a floating board in the water, floating in the darkness outside the train.
From one "floating board" to another, there is bottomless darkness. Someone thought he was dazzled, so he took a cup out of the space and let it fall.
The cup fell into the darkness outside the train, without any movement, and soon disappeared.
"What the hell is this? Where is the arrival hall?" Someone couldn't help complaining.
Someone also took out a telescope and was calmly checking the situation outside the shattered platform. That person soon saw their destination - but the exit hall, which was always inseparable from the platform in the past, was now like another space, floating in the darkness about a hundred meters ahead.
From where Youxi and the others were, the double doors of the exit hall were open, and they could see the dim lights inside and a horizontal rectangular platform in front of the hall, but the entire hall was suspended, and the passage connecting the train and the suspended hall was the shattered platform floor and walls.
Tang Yatong looked at the platform fragments in front of her, which were swaying slightly in different directions, up and down, left and right, and let out a long breath: "Is this station exploded?"
Lin Wu shook his head: "The train will not stop if the station explodes. This should be the difficulty of this station platform."
"Do you think the situation on this platform is very similar to a game?" You Zhenzhen frowned, as if thinking about the name of the game. Xiyuan
looked at the platform fragments and snorted and laughed: "This is not just like a game, there are many similar games, just with different styles and modes."
"Then how do we get through?" You Zhenzhen was a little hesitant. Some platform fragments were close, but some were far away, and some had a big height difference. They were not game characters with abnormal jumping ability.
These platform fragments are floating, but other objects are not. As we can see from the cup that fell out of the train before, people will also fall freely outside. If they accidentally fall among the platform fragments, there will be a dark and bottomless abyss under their feet.
"I'll go first." While You Xi was speaking, he had already silently taken out a bundle of climbing ropes and equipment from the space, and fixed one end to himself. "I have more than nine times the jumping ability of ordinary people. I'll go first. There are a lot of plant vines on the platform. Those should be for people to climb and hang. I'll throw the vines over, and you grab the vines to jump or climb. The rope is used as a safety rope, and everyone is buckled together. In case someone slips, there are others to pull them."
"It's too slow for you to take the lead alone. There are only more than eight minutes left." Xing Min went to another climbing rope and fixed one end to himself. "I'll go in front with you. If we divide the team like this, we can go faster and the burden will be less."
You Xi didn't ask much. The fact that Xing Min could speak showed that he was confident about this matter.
The six people were divided into groups very quickly. Youxi, Tang Yatong, and Lin Wu were in one group, and Xingmin, You Zhenzhen, and Xiyuan were in another group.
Before Youxi was about to jump out of the train with the climbing rope around her waist, Xiyuan reached out and touched her head: "Be careful!"
Youxi nodded at him, and also said to the others to be careful, and immediately said to Xingmin: "I will jump first, you follow."
The platform debris closest to the train door was one meter away, and the height dropped by about one meter. The difficulty of the platform debris close to the train was not high, and it mainly tested people's psychological quality.
All passengers who had space put away their personal belongings, and those who didn't have space asked their companions to help put them away. If they really couldn't do it, they would try to carry it as firmly as possible.
Youxi leaped and landed on the first platform fragment nimbly and flexibly, and Xingmin followed closely and landed beside her. This platform fragment was about square meters in size. She and Xingmin tried it out and found that the fragment would not shift due to weight after people stepped on it. It seemed to have its own fixed track and only moved slightly on the fixed track.
After that, the first person in the two groups also stepped on the platform fragment. Because of the limited time, Youxi and Xingmin looked back and continued to move forward, heading towards the first platform fragment.
The other passengers also moved. The time to leave the platform was limited, and staying here would only lead to a dead end. Although the platform fragment passage in front of them was scary, at least there was a chance to try.
There were also passenger teams that saw the way Youxi tied the safety rope between his companions here and imitated it.
Some passengers were lucky and had just received props that could deal with this situation, such as catapult shoes and telescopic mechanical arms. After equipping them, they moved very fast on the platform fragments.
Some passengers also used primitive flying claws, iron chains and other things, and moved as fast as possible.
Youxi and Xingmin were not slow here either. No matter how far away or how high the drop was, the platform fragments in front of them were not difficult for them.
Although Xingmin's body was healthy, she did not have the physical fitness of a tasker. She was a little worried at first and was always alert all the way, thinking that if something happened, she could jump over and help.
But his mental quality was far better than his physical quality, and he was stable all the way.
Until they reached the middle of the platform debris area, the height difference between the next floating platform debris and the one they were on was very large. Youxi could still jump, but Xingmin definitely couldn't get over it.
Time was running out, she turned around and took a few steps back, leaving a sprint distance, and stretched out her hands to him: "Come, hold me tight!"
Xiyuan, You Zhenzhen, Lin Wu, Tang Yatong:... ! !
Xingmin hesitated for a second, and the tips of his ears quickly turned red.
"What's wrong?" Youxi had already pulled his arms and wrapped them around her waist, but stopped when she saw this: "Don't want to hold like this? You can also choose to let me hold you like a princess, or let me carry you on my back?"
The next second, her waist was tightly hugged by Xingmin.
He was much taller than her, and now he lowered his head and sighed slightly beside her ear: "I'm ready."
"Yes! Let's go!" You Xi also held his waist tightly, and then lifted him up a little, suspending him in the air. At the same time, she exerted force with her feet, and instantly burst out with extremely high speed and strength. She rushed to the edge of the platform fragments in a few steps and jumped.
In the empty darkness filled with platform fragments, she hugged him and jumped up, and the whole person seemed to soar into the air, quickly heading towards the fragments that were four or five meters away and more than two meters high.
And his fingertips released fine light golden starlight all the way, using the star-like streamer light to illuminate the way forward for her.
Behind them, You Zhenzhen couldn't help but exclaimed: "How can it look so beautiful!"
"Oh my god!" Tang Yatong couldn't help but whistled, "My Xiaoxi is good! There is something!"
Xiyuan was not happy: "Hold me, I can take the lead! I can also take the lead, wuwuwu..."
Lin Wu held Xi Yuan down with a headache: "If you jump now, you will drag them down with you. Wait until they pass..."
A moment later, the four people on the previous fragment were lifted up one by one by "Captain of Super Strength" You Xi, and they were directly lifted up to the next fragment, saving the effort of climbing.
Xi Yuan complained about this, saying that he was like a chicken, not beautiful at all.
Fortunately, after passing this most difficult fragment, the progress became smooth again. Although Xi Yuan talked a lot, his speed was not slow. He walked at the end to take care of You Zhenzhen.
Although You Zhenzhen always quarreled with him every day, she was very clear-headed at this critical moment. She accepted You Xixingmin's help along the way, and in turn helped Xiyuan. Everyone worked together, and finally when the countdown was 4 minutes, all the partners in the team landed safely on the rectangular platform in front of the exit hall.
Behind them, there were still many passengers trying to pass these platform fragments.
Someone was physically exhausted and climbed a lot, and was leaning on a wall of platform fragments, gasping for breath. His teammates were already outside the two fragments, and seemed to be considering whether to abandon him directly.
There are also closely-knit teams, just like Youxi's team, who pull each other up no matter how hard it is, trying their best to pull up their teammates hanging on the vines below, unwilling to leave any of their companions behind.
"Let's go." Tang Yatong patted Youxi on the shoulder.
Before she turned around and followed the others into the door of the exit hall, she caught a glimpse of a figure at the edge of the platform debris passage.
The figure was a lone traveler, but she seemed to have amazing jumping ability like her, and she started from the other end of the train and moved forward very quickly.
That girl seemed to be the girl named Mengsha who wanted to join their team before.

You Xi had long since gotten used to being alone as soon as he stepped out of the exit hall. However, this time when she looked around, she was still stunned. She thought that the "Devouring Land" would be the same as the "Wasteland", a site with extremely poor original conditions and scarce resources.
But at this moment, she found herself in a huge city-state. She
seemed to have just walked out of a direct elevator on the side of the road behind her. Behind the direct elevator was a long horizontal street. Across the long street were various high-rise buildings and green vegetation areas.
Not far in front of her was a green vegetation belt, and further ahead was a long walkway with glass guardrails.
She felt the wind blowing on her face was very strong, as if she was in a higher position.
When she crossed the vegetation belt and walked in front of the glass guardrail, she realized that it was not her illusion.
She was indeed in mid-air hundreds of meters high. The long street she was on was not on the ground, but on a wide passage built in mid-air.
It felt like standing on an elevated road in the original world, except that this elevated road was ten or ten times wider, but it was still a passage, and it was narrow and long as a whole, extending from one end of the city to the other.
When people stood on it, as long as they didn't look down, they would not realize that they were in mid-air. There were pedestrians coming and going on the street, and there were restaurants and shopping malls around. It was bustling and prosperous, no different from her original world.
And there were many such amazingly wide mid-air areas in the whole city. They were intertwined vertically and horizontally, distributed at different heights and areas, and almost covered the original ground area at the bottom.
In addition to these mid-air areas of varying heights, the city also has many super-high buildings that rise from the ground. They all have iron-gray walls, occupy a huge area, and are taller than all the mid-air areas.
It was dusk here, and as the sky gradually darkened, the glass guardrail in front of her lit up, and the guardrail lights and building neon lights in other suspended areas also lit up little by little. The entire suspended street was like a galaxy across the sky.
This was another world beyond her cognition.
You Xi's phone vibrated. It was You Zhenzhen who first sent a message in the group.
You Zhenzhen: Oh my gosh! I ran into the scene of a car accident as soon as I arrived. I took a few curious glances. Guess what? The man who was hit stood up as if nothing had happened even though his arm was broken. He even looked for his broken arm! Later I found that there was no blood from his broken arm, but brown liquid that smelled like gasoline! Guys! This guy is a robot - a robot with human appearance!
Xiyuan: Haha, what's so strange about you seeing a robot? When I arrived at this station, I turned into a robot myself...
Youxi:? ?
