Lin Xue carefully examined the carriage, then, despite the discomfort she felt, took out an alloy knife from her spatial storage.

This knife was obtained from the interstellar era; it could cut through iron like mud, and dealing with this mere sheet of metal would be a piece of cake.

"Is anyone awake? Come help me!"

Lin Xue stood up, carefully observed the carriage, and then selected a spot, intending to cut out a door from there.

It wasn't that she didn't want to use the main gate, but rather that it seemed the Japanese had tampered with it.

If she goes there, there will be a violent explosion once the door is opened.

In the end, no one else will be able to save them, but they will all become fake dead.

"I need to make a door here and escape this carriage before we reach our destination!"

"Anyone who wants to escape with me, come and lend a hand. If you're willing to be the Japanese devils' lackeys, then pretend I didn't say anything!"

Looking at the motionless crowd, Lin Xueren spoke again.

Whether these people are indifferent, desperate, or resigned to their fate.

She can give them a glimmer of hope, and if they're willing to work for that hope, she can lead them away from here.

Otherwise, she would leave on her own once the passageway opened, and whether others escaped or remained in the carriage would be none of her concern.

"Girl, I'm willing to run away with you. Even if I die, I, Tie Niu, would rather die than be a lackey of the Japanese devils!"

"They still want to enslave me, Tie Niu? They can dream on!"

Just when Lin Xue thought no one would step forward, a thin boy suddenly emerged from the corner.

This child is really thin and not very old, but he has a name that sounds like that of a strong man.

It must be his family. I hope he can grow up healthy and strong!

"Okay, come stand here. I'll make an opening first, and you hold on for me so the sheet metal doesn't fall out all at once!"

Lin Xue gestured and spoke to Tie Niu for a while to make sure he understood before pulling out her dagger.

"Young lady, he can't do this job, let me do it!"

"Me too!"

"We'll help too!"

The people who had been secretly observing the two could no longer sit still after hearing their conversation.

The reason they didn't react when Lin Xue first spoke was because they had given up hope of escaping.

It's important to know that their previous escapes had caused them immense suffering.

Although the world was dark, they did not want to die.

"Okay, I've got you all understood what I just said. Now let's get started!"

"I'll make an incision first, and you guys hold the metal sheet up!"

Lin Xue raised her dagger and stabbed it hard into the metal sheet. The dagger went in all the way to the hilt, and then, with a few pushes, she cut a long gash in the hard green train.

"Young lady, are you afraid of alerting the Japanese?"

"You can't do it this way. You need to cut these sheets of metal into small pieces and put them on the train!"

"It would be best if we could cut out a few sharp, easy-to-handle pieces of iron, so that we grown men could use them as weapons. If the Japanese find out, we can fight them with those iron pieces!"

"Anyway, once we fall into the hands of the Japanese devils, there's no chance of survival. If we can take one or two with us, that's a bonus!"

The Chinese people have never been afraid of death, even these ordinary people who are powerless to kill a chicken.

But they feared their deaths would be meaningless and lacked the resolve to end their own lives.

In addition, they have relatives by their side. It wouldn't matter if they died, but they don't want their relatives to sacrifice with them.

"Alright then, I'll cut out some sharp metal pieces, you can take them yourselves!"

Then Lin Xue busied herself with the task. Although the dagger could cut through the sheet metal, it still required a great deal of strength to support it.

Otherwise, it simply wouldn't move.

As the sheet metal was peeled away piece by piece, the outside view was gradually revealed.

"This area is a desolate wilderness. If we run away, we might have a chance!"

An old man wearing a headscarf glanced outside and seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

The people who had been watching indifferently from inside the carriage all stood up after hearing the old man's words.

Even the woman holding the child came closer to look at the scenery outside.

"A tunnel has appeared ahead. If we jump down into the tunnel, the Japanese shouldn't be able to spot us!"

Tie Niu gripped the sheet metal and leaned half his body out. After seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately excitedly told everyone.

Upon hearing this, men, women, young and old, all sprang into action in the carriage.

Those with children should find ways to keep their children with them.

Those who brought their families told those around them not to be afraid and to close their eyes and jump down.

Even if it means jumping off a train and dying, I can't let the Japanese devils torture me to death.

The woman, who was initially somewhat timid, gradually transformed her fear into determination after hearing this statement.

"You're right, it's better to be thrown to your death than to be tortured to death!"

She touched the child in her arms. The child seemed to be only three or four years old and was tied up in the woman's arms. Because the child was tied up with an outer garment, she was now only wearing a T-shirt.

Her bare arms were still trembling slightly, which showed how nervous she was.

"Sister, please give me the child. I'll jump down with the child in my arms and I'll be fine!"

"But I've never taken care of a child before, so don't even think about dumping the child on me. You won't dare to jump then!"

Seeing the woman's determined eyes and trembling body, Lin Xue couldn't bear it and decided to help.

"A few strong guys, come out and help carry the children. Let the women and elderly jump off the train first. We'll cover the rear!"

"If there are any cowards who dare not jump, we'll just drag them down with us!"

"We will absolutely not leave a single Japanese soldier alive!"

The old man wearing a headscarf glanced at the chaotic crowd, and he could no longer pretend to be low-key, which he had originally intended to do.

When danger strikes, someone always has to step up and take the lead.

Although the young woman had a weapon, she was still a young girl, so it was better to let the old man do the work that might offend people.

"We'll be entering the tunnel in 100 breaths. Everyone get ready. Elderly people and women, line up at the entrance!"

Tie Niu kept a close eye on the situation outside and soon discovered that the cave entrance was right in front of him. He immediately called for help.

"Quickly, women and the elderly, squeeze to the doorway first. If you can't jump by yourself, don't blame me for kicking you!"

The old man in the white headscarf and several other strong men made way for them, and as soon as it got dark outside, they started jumping down one by one.

The women in front, being timid, chose their spots and rushed down with their eyes closed.

The elderly men and women who were too old to jump at the last minute were also grabbed and thrown down by the old man in the white headscarf and his men.
