Chapter 235: Dispute over Tickets
Every day, a train leaves the "departure platform", but no one knows whether this train is the same train that arrives at the "arrival platform" on the same day.
The exit of the "arrival platform" is randomly generated, and the "departure platform" will not change most of the time. As long as the passenger's mobile phone is used to perform the "confirm station" step and locate the hidden station, they can enter the station during the boarding time before the end of the stay.
If passengers form a team, as long as one person finds the hidden station, the whole team can share and confirm the station.
Therefore, it is not difficult to find the hidden departure station. The difficult part lies after the passengers enter the station.
When novice passengers and experienced passengers are scattered in different places in the city, they may be able to rely on caution and prudence to avoid fighting and conflict.
But once they step into the station, no one can avoid it.
All passengers know that before the countdown of the stop time ends, they must board the train according to the rules in the prompt and go to the next stop.
Those who violate the rules will show the results to everyone with their own blood and lives when they arrive at the platform.
No one will try to challenge the rules given by the prompt.
There are no weird and aggressive smiling people in the "departure platform" of Wukong City, but only human beings who are also passengers.
Maybe the other party is a stranger you have never met, or maybe the other party is a friend who has worked with you all the way. When facing the inside and outside of the train, when facing life and death, there is no difference between strangers and friends.
Youxi jumped back to avoid the huge rock fist that hit the ground. From the fierceness in the opponent's eyes and the decisive posture of his attack, it can be seen that this is a veteran passenger.
Youxi thought that he and Lin Wu had entered the station early enough, almost ahead of all the passengers, but he didn't expect that someone was earlier than them.
At the same time, in the one minute of their fight, more than a dozen people suddenly rushed into the originally empty platform.
Some of them were like Lin Wu, holding the idea of rushing early, and wanted to rush onto the train before others arrived at the platform to avoid the ticket fight.
Some people came here specifically to kill the earliest group of people because they didn't have tickets.
Remaining time: 0 hours, 55 minutes and 24 seconds. The more ruthless a person is, the more anxious and fearful he is. His life has entered the countdown, and he is afraid of death.
Youxi asked Lin Wu if there would be something similar to the smiling man on the departure platform as on the arrival platform, and what would happen to those who failed to get on the train in time?
"No, at least not when I got on the train last time. As for those who missed the departure time of the train, no one knows what happened to them... I only know that the one hour from the beginning of boarding to the departure is the most intense time for the fighting between passengers. Tickets are difficult to get, and sometimes it is not based on strength, but on luck."
Youxi understood that just like she killed the veteran passenger who ambushed her, she inadvertently extended her ticket. Her original ticket had not expired yet, and now it was extended for another period, which meant that she still didn't have to worry about the ticket at the next stop.
She recalled and analyzed in her heart, but her face did not show any emotion.
The veteran passenger in front of her had turned both arms into rock, and the key parts such as the chest, vest, and neck were also wrapped with hard rocks. This was his skill. Although there was a time limit, he only needed to grab the ticket within this hour, which was enough.
This skill was both offensive and defensive. The combat power of the arms after being turned into rock was very strong. He always had confidence in his own strength.
The girl in front of him was still very young, and the eyebrows and eyes above the mask were very beautiful, but he did not underestimate the enemy. Passengers who could find the station within the time limit and have tickets at the same time had certain strength.
However, the opponent kept dodging after he made his move. Each time, his attack was just a little short, which made him gradually impatient and he rushed forward again.
The huge fist with a fierce fist wind smashed down from the air again. This time, You Xi did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, dodged the fist sideways, came to the outside of his arm, stretched out his hand to grab the opponent's hard rock wrist, twisted it hard, and used the force of the opponent's attack to lift him up, and smashed towards another passenger on the other side who wanted to take the opportunity to attack her.
With a loud bang, the other passenger who was hit directly spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and a part of the wrist of the rock-transformed passenger was directly broken.
His body parts can only be transformed and imitated, but they are not really transformed into rocks. After the wrist was broken, the mutation immediately faded and restored to the appearance of an arm.
He rolled on the ground in pain, holding his broken wrist that was spurting blood.
Seeing this, two passengers who were fighting nearby immediately ran over from the left and right to sneak attack and pick up the leaks. The man fought back with all his might, but was soon killed.
Youxi did not join in the fun. She and Lin Wu had a clear goal: not to participate in the melee, not to sneak attack and pick up the leaks, and to get on the train as soon as possible.
The powerful strength she just displayed made other passengers who had coveted her retreat, but some of them took out their pistols and shot at her directly. The stronger the strength, the stronger the skills. Such passengers must have good things on them. Even if he has a ticket and is just passing by, he will suddenly become greedy.
Of course, this is also because he has the power to be greedy - hot weapons.
However, the person who was originally in his sight suddenly disappeared, and the next second, the other party appeared in front of him.
Teleport!?
No! No, it was a visual illusion caused by the other party's extremely fast speed.
The person who started the robbery shuddered slightly, feeling that he seemed to have made a wrong decision. A grenade appeared in his other hand. This was his life-saving weapon, and he would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
But before he could pull the safety buckle, a flash of light passed by, and he only felt a chill on his arm. When he looked down again, his left hand that originally held the grenade was left with only a bare wrist. His left hand was gone, and the grenade fell into the opponent's hand and disappeared instantly.
He rushed at the other person like crazy, but the other person dodged to the side. This time, because the distance was too close, two bullets flew by her neck and shoulder.
He clearly saw that the bullet that grazed her neck only made her frown slightly. Not to mention the wound, there was not even blood, only a red scratch.
The next second, he felt a chill in his chest, and he felt like he was frozen and unable to move. Until the moment he fell down and breathed his last, he didn't understand how he lost his life like this...
You Xi's mobile phone vibrated, but the current situation was not suitable for taking it out to check. She pulled out the Tang sword from the other person's chest, and joined Lin Wu, who had also dealt with a passenger, and ran towards the train again.
Some people were afraid of their strength and hurriedly avoided them, while others secretly observed them. Lin Wu and You Xi were on full alert until they rushed onto the train in one breath.
**
As the two stepped onto the train carriage, the lights above the carriage door automatically lit up, and the orange-red light enveloped the two people. A familiar electronic sound sounded from the speaker on the side.
{Please show your ticket.}
Youxi and Lin Wu immediately took out the silver-white metal ticket from the space.
{Checking the ticket, please wait...}
{The ticket has been checked, please pay attention to the number of stops left on the ticket.}
{Reminder: No fighting is allowed inside the train.}
The two looked down at the tickets respectively, and the words on the metal ticket changed.
Departure time: 11 o'clock
Previous stop: Wukongcheng
Next destination: Not yet selected
Youxi's mobile phone vibrated again. After she took it out, she found several messages on it.
Congratulations on defeating the passenger: Wang Chen.
The ticket has been obtained. (One stop)
Congratulations: The validity period of the ticket has been extended by one stop. (Two stops remaining)
Teammates detected, please choose the destination.
Youxi clicked on the teammate list, and after clicking on the destination, only one station popped up on the screen: Wasteland (B level).
Youxi: ...
What kind of choice is this for her to make?
At the same time, the stations popped up on Lin Wu's mobile phone screen: Hope City (A level), Wasteland (B level).
Because Youxi's destination station is only one "Wasteland", this choice is easy to make. Both of them clicked on the Wasteland, and soon a new message appeared on the mobile phone screen.
Arrival ahead: Wasteland
Please go to carriage No. 4.
Because they had to avoid the fighting crowd, they boarded a relatively backward carriage. They were currently in carriage number seven. The two checked the direction, passed through other carriages, and headed for carriage number four.
There were already passengers on the train. Some leaned on their seats motionless, as if they had not woken up yet, while others sat there awake, quietly watching everything that happened on the platform.
When Lin Wu and You Xi passed by the carriages, the awake passengers would cast a look at them, some with vigilance, while others with some kind of friendly signal.
After the two walked to carriage number four and randomly chose an empty seat by the window to sit down, Lin Wu whispered to You Xi that the one hour from boarding to departure was not only a time for passengers to fight for tickets, but also a time for many veteran passengers to choose their teammates.
However, the train has not departed yet, and the others do not know each other's next destination, so there will be no action.
But experienced and smart passengers will remember the appearance of strong people. Even if they cannot be pulled together to become teammates, they will be careful to avoid conflicts with each other when they meet at the same station.
Youxi looked down at the silver metal ticket in his hand, and the information on it has been completed.
Departure time: 11 o'clock
Previous station: Wukongcheng
Next destination: Desolate land
**
Outside the train, more and more passengers entered the station. Some stepped on the bloody ground and broke through the crowd to rush onto the train. Some were outnumbered and were left on the platform forever.
In the last few minutes of the countdown, someone rushed onto the train in a panic, but when his ticket was detected to be expired, the orange-red light above his head melted into a pool of liquid, and then the pool of liquid disappeared into the carriage.
Another person who rushed onto the train with that person witnessed the whole process. He stood under the light, holding the ticket in his hand, his face pale with fear, and he dared not move.
He trembled while holding his injured arm, and then he understood why those people would fight so desperately for the ticket.
Outside the train, the passengers who were holding the expired tickets with a lucky mentality stopped because of this scene.
Although it was known that not getting on the train within the indicated time was a violation, the sight of a person being melted into a pool of bloody liquid was even more frightening.
In this fight, more than half of the passengers were killed or injured, and only a quarter managed to get on the train with their tickets. The remaining quarter stood trembling on the platform, watching the train move.
Youxi looked back through the window. After the train slowly drove out of the platform, the originally yellow platform suddenly darkened.
It was still the same thick darkness as before, and all the passengers left behind seemed to be swallowed by the darkness.
Soon, screams were heard in the darkness. The screams were so miserable that they made people's scalps numb. No one knew what they had encountered, and no one would ever know, because the passengers who knew were left in the darkness.
As the train left Wukong City along the track and rushed at full speed in the darkness, no one knew that on the arrival platform of Wukong City, a few more smiling faces appeared quietly.
If you count carefully, the number of new smiling faces is exactly the same as the number of passengers who just stayed on the departure platform.
They are not dead, but they have been stripped of consciousness and humanity. They stand there motionlessly with their mouths grinning like monsters, waiting for the next batch of passengers to arrive and waiting for the blood of violators to be poured...
**
{The next station is: Desolate Land, the stop time is 10 minutes. }
{Passengers who have received the reminder to get off the station, please get off the station quickly. }
{Reminder: Please be sure to leave the platform within 10 minutes. }
This time, the reminder tone for getting off the train was different from the previous ones. There was no code to be deciphered.
On the screen of the mobile phone, there was still a bright red countdown, which was the time remaining to arrive at the desolate land.
This was the first stop the train arrived at after leaving Wukong City. According to Youxi's observation, most of the passengers got off at this station, and most of the remaining passengers were still asleep.
She guessed that they should be novice passengers, and they had not woken up because it was not time for them to get off the train.
The countdown lasted for 1 minute, and Youxi and Lin Wu put on their backpacks and prepared to get off the train.
The train was about to arrive at the station and the speed slowed down. Like last time, a dim light gradually appeared outside the dark windows, which meant that it was about to arrive at the platform.
This time, there was no need to decipher, but according to the prompt, they had to leave the platform within 10 minutes.
