At the end of May, a four-to-five-day continuous heavy rain swept across the world. After receiving notification from the village committee, Jiang Qian's family evacuated with the main group, b...
Chapter 43 Get in the Car
"Sorry, my hand is cramping."
But he was interrupted by his mother as soon as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Get off the car? What car do you mean? You're afraid that others won't know your sister is unusual, right?" Huang Liping glared at him. "What if someone has bad intentions? What will happen to your sister? Use your brain. Why did we hide when we saw someone just now? Your big head is not for show!"
Jiang Weimin also taught his son, "We agreed not to let outsiders know the secret of this car yet, so don't be impulsive and make last-minute changes. Even if they don't get on the car, there will always be other guests. The most taboo thing to do is to be impatient, because when you are impatient, it is easy to cause trouble."
After saying something and getting scolded by both his parents, Jiang Dong felt a little discouraged. "So are we just going to watch them leave?"
He was reluctant. "If you ask me, you're just being too cautious. Even if people find out this car is ours, what's the big deal? It's only a matter of time. Besides, the car has protective features, so ordinary attacks shouldn't be able to damage it. If someone really has bad intentions, wouldn't it be enough for my sister to just throw them out?"
Seeing that Jiang Dong's words were getting more and more outrageous and his parents-in-law's expressions were getting worse and worse, Ren Ru secretly pinched her husband and finally made him shut up.
My parents-in-law’s greatest lifelong wish is to raise their two children to be successful and support each other in the future.
Although the development of the two children is not as good as they expected, it is still acceptable. So what they are most concerned about is the second half of the sentence.
The phrase "harmony between siblings" is often mentioned by parents-in-law.
Even if the vehicle has protective features, they haven't tested it. Even if they did, what if someone with bad intentions gets a gun? Can this vehicle withstand such a situation?
That's why the whole family unanimously decided to develop it in a low-key manner, and not to expose it in front of others if possible, so that people who saw it would think that the car suddenly appeared and ran on its own, without a host or a driver.
As for when they will be exposed, that depends on when they have enough ability to protect themselves.
But now the car has just been built, and Jiang Dong said this, making his parents-in-law sound like the younger son does not take the safety of the eldest daughter seriously. How could the old couple not be angry?
But Jiang Dong was a stubborn person. He was the youngest child in the family and had always been spoiled by his family. He didn't realize that his parents-in-law were angry.
For the sake of family harmony, Ren Ru, the daughter-in-law, had to manually make him shut up.
But this stupid fool didn't understand other people's expressions at all and turned around to ask her.
"Wife, why are you pinching me?"
Ren Ru smiled awkwardly at her parents-in-law and elder sister-in-law, and increased the strength in her hands.
She smiled at her confused husband and said, "Sorry, my hand is cramped."
…
While the family was talking, the two people outside also approached.
Liang Jing and Qi Hang walked forward along the wall, keeping an eye on the movements of the car.
They tried to look inside the car through the windows, but the permanently dark windows seemed to block their observation.
Realizing that they couldn't see anything, the two gave up and just wanted to leave here quickly and stay away from this time bomb that could explode at any time.
But what they didn't expect was that just as the two of them were about to get away from the train, the train door that was originally closed suddenly opened!
The sudden opening of the car door startled the two men, who almost ran away. But when they saw the empty car through the door, they stopped in their tracks.
Liang Jing moved a few steps to the side and looked inside the car window from a different angle, but still did not find a person or a zombie in the car.
He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could this be an empty carriage where the zombies had already left?
Just as he was wondering, Qi Hang, who had been following him, tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Brother Liang, look at that, what is that?"
When Qi Hang was in the waiting room just now, his glasses were accidentally splashed with zombie blood. Although he later rinsed them with water and wiped them with a tissue, he still felt a little disgusted and prepared to find a bottle of alcohol to disinfect them before using them again.
He only has a myopia of over 100 degrees, which is not serious and does not affect his life, but at this moment he can't see the words on the sign not far away.
Liang Jing looked in the direction he pointed and saw a sign that was more than one meter tall.
The sign stood firmly in the center of the platform, like a soldier in silver armor ready for battle.
Liang Jing narrowed his eyes, trying to decipher the words on the sign and read it to Qi Hang, "B City Railway Station, to Airport Station, two magic crystals per person per ticket... What is this?"
After reading it, Liang Jing still didn't understand.
He knew every word on the sign, but he couldn't understand the sentence when they were put together.
Airport Station? Which airport station is it?
Why is there a station sign on the platform of a train station? Did train stations have such a thing before?
However, after Qi Hang heard what Liang Jing had just said, and looked at the station sign and the train that seemed to have the same color as the station sign, an idea suddenly came to him.
"Could this be the bus stop for this bus?" he speculated. "Could this bus take us out of City B?"
He has loved reading bizarre stories and science fiction novels since he was a child. Although he himself is not quite sure about this conjecture, he is still quite accepting of it.
He approached the bus stop carefully, trying to see it more clearly.
When he got closer, he found that the information displayed on the sign was not just what Brother Liang had just read.
The background of the text was a map of the area near City B, and the routes mentioned in the text were also marked on the map.
Liang Jing accidentally saw Qi Hang approaching the sign. Just as he was about to call him back, he saw Qi Hang turn around and wave at him.
"Brother, come quickly, we seem to have a way to leave City B!"
Qi Hang waved to him enthusiastically. Although Liang Jing didn't quite believe what he said, he saw that there was indeed no danger around, so he went over.
As soon as he walked in, Qi Hang pointed at the sign and said to him, "Brother, look, this bus can go directly to the airport in the north, which is dozens of kilometers away! We are going north, and if we can really get there, it will save us a lot of trouble!"
Liang Jing looked carefully for a while before realizing that he was pointing at the map that served as the background.
The end point of that route is indeed in the direction of City A’s airport.
but……
"But the airport hasn't been built yet?"
Liang Jing still remembered the news he had read not long ago about the demolition of a village near the airport. "Besides, how can this car take us there? The airport is not a high-speed rail station. There is not even a track."
Qi Hang was just happy and hadn't really thought about this. He was stumped by the question.
But he is a natural optimist.
"Maybe it's some miraculous encounter!" Qi Hang looked at the car behind the sign, his eyes shining. "Brother, we're going north anyway, why don't we get in and take a look? If it's real, we can go home earlier. This car looks so high-end, I don't think it can be a scam, right?"
Liang Jing didn't agree with Qi Hang's feelings, but the idea of wanting to go home early touched Liang Jing's heart.
He looked at the car in front of him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's go up and take a look first?"
"Okay!"
Qi Hang agreed immediately and walked forward first.
The two men approached the train door and were about to step on the train pedal when they felt a resistance.
The two were wondering what was going on when they saw the screen on the side wall of the train light up.
[Dear passenger, please purchase your ticket before boarding. This bus runs from City B Railway Station to Airport Station. The ticket price is two magic crystals per person. Please place the magic crystals in the groove below. Thank you for your cooperation!]
Qi Hang and Liang Jing looked at the screen, then looked at the groove below, and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Qi Hang: "Brother Liang, do you know what this magic crystal is?"
Liang Jing shook his head, "I don't know."
Just when the two of them finished speaking and didn't know what to do, the screen in front of them suddenly changed.
The original text suddenly turned into a detailed 3D image of a human body, and through the image demonstration, the two quickly understood what the magic crystal displayed on the screen was.
Liang Jing and Qi Hang looked at each other and returned to the waiting hall.
The zombies that had just been eliminated had not been dealt with yet and were still lying on the smooth floor of the hall.
Qi Hang randomly selected a zombie and stabbed it with the fruit knife in his hand.
They were not medical students and only had a rough idea of where the heart was in the human body. They were not very accurate at first, but later they dug open almost the entire chest of the zombie before they found the location of the magic crystal.
When they dug out the green transparent ball, both of them were surprised. They never imagined that such a thing would appear in the body of a person who had turned into a zombie.
The center of the green crystal is dark red, which looks a bit enchanting, and it deserves the name of magic crystal.
They wiped the crystal with paper towels from the supermarket and walked towards other zombies.
They had killed five zombies in the waiting hall, so they only got five magic crystals in the end. But even if there were only five, it was enough to pay for their train tickets.
After returning to the platform, Qi Hang put the magic crystal in his hand into the groove marked on the screen.
And the next second after he put the two magic crystals in, a small silver card suddenly fell next to the groove.
Qi Hang picked it up and looked at it curiously, and found that the carriage and seat number were written on it, so it should be the ticket.
After he successfully boarded the car, Liang Jing did the same.
After getting the tickets, the two walked inside together, turned around according to the signs on the ground, and saw a carriage that was unexpectedly spacious and bright.
The entire interior of the car is white except for the light blue roof, and because the seats are transparent, it looks even brighter.
The two did not rush to find their seats, but first looked around the carriage from front to back.
The carriage is spacious and bright, with neatly arranged seats, rows of transparent glass windows, tall luggage racks, and even a bathroom with a sink at the rear. Although it is not large, it looks very clean and tidy.
The two of them walked around and marveled at the sight.
Qi Hang: "It's quite spacious."
Liang Jing nodded, but he was still a little confused. "But when did this car appear? Why is there not even a crew member? And I don't see the driver's cab either?"
Liang Jing roughly estimated the train's exterior and interior lengths, as well as the locations of the two carriage doors, and discovered that the interior was significantly larger than the exterior indicated, and that all the space appeared to be passenger space. So who was operating this train? And how did it operate?
When Qi Hang heard him say this, he also felt that something was wrong, but he was naturally broad-minded and didn't think it was a big deal.
