Chapter 276 Fran City
There was a period when Lin Wu smelled this smell every day. In his native world, he had been to other countries to carry out international aid missions.
When he was busy at the temporary medical station in the war zone, due to limited conditions and simple equipment, many people around him died because they could not get timely treatment.
Under the high temperature, the already bloody corpses would soon begin to rot and need to be transported to another place, otherwise various bacteria would breed.
But there were also times when they were not handled in time. Some people died in their beds for two or three days before being discovered. At the same time, many people who were still alive would also rot due to wound infection.
The smell of human decay, once smelled, will be remembered forever.
That is the smell of death, dark and terrible.
You Xi is no stranger to this smell. She was also surrounded by this smell for a long time in the second world.
That was the smell of zombies and corpses, which could be smelled in every corner of the city.
Youxi looked at the countdown: "Let's go, everyone, get closer."
The five people quickly got off the train and then formed a 2:1:2 formation, with Xiyuan and Youxi standing at the front, You Zhenzhen in the middle, and Lin Wu and Tang Yatong at the rear.
The platform was very large, and the shadow of the departure hall could not be seen nearby. In addition, the lights were flickering, and the surrounding situation could not be seen at a glance.
After putting on the breathing masks, they could not smell the stench in the air, but the ground was full of black sticky substances. In addition to Lin Wu's previous words, everyone had a mental guess about this sticky substance, and they really didn't want to step on it.
You Zhenzhen opened the shield at the right time, protecting the five people firmly. The translucent arc of light was particularly eye-catching on the platform where the lights flickered, and instantly attracted the attention of other passengers getting off the train.
Passengers getting off at Class A stations are usually a mixed bag, with experienced passengers, occasionally novice passengers, and most of them are passengers who have been to one or two stations.
Passengers like them are in a restless stage. They have just waved away the fear that inexplicably appeared on the train, found some ways to complete the task, and enjoyed the unbridled pleasure brought by endless currency, but they also suddenly tasted the taste of blood and death.
They have acquired some props or one or two skills, and have transformed from ordinary people into god-like figures who can arbitrarily dominate the life and death of the natives of the station. People with a slightly unstable mind can easily fall into the abyss of darkness.
They are fierce and conceited, and they can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. When these passengers of the same type form a team, they tend to become more unscrupulous.
You Zhenzhen's shield undoubtedly makes these half-new passengers covetous, but they are wary of the unknown situation of this platform. They have secretly planned how to ambush in the exit hall after leaving the platform, kill people and rob goods, and then quickly leave the exit hall to disappear without a trace.
The accident happened very quickly. Someone looked at You Zhenzhen's shield for a few more seconds and stepped into a large pool of sticky stuff. The area of the sticky stuff was particularly large. The person stepped on it and was shocked to find that his feet were not on the solid ground. It was like stepping into a swamp, and his calves sank in.
"Ah-what is this!" The person panicked and tried desperately to break free, but the more he struggled, the deeper his calves sank. He could not stand steadily and fell towards the sticky stuff. The mask on his face also loosened because of the fall, and a nauseating stench came out. His whole body was covered with black, smelly sticky stuff.
But this was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that when he struggled to stand up, he found that the parts of his body that touched the slime were sinking.
He heard the low cries of other passengers, and the man looked at him with fear.
He followed the other person's line of sight and saw that a hand had appeared on his calf. The hand was black, with rotten skin and missing flesh, like a hand stretched out from a grave.
The hand tightly grasped his calf and was pulling him hard into the slime, as if trying to pull him down.
Soon, screams from passengers were heard from other parts of the platform. It should be a novice passenger. She was frightened when she saw the man who fell and got stuck in the black slime. She was panicked and subconsciously stepped back, but accidentally stepped back to the wall of the platform.
Two rotten black hands suddenly stretched out from the slime on the walls on her left and right. They grabbed her arms on the left and right and pinned her to the wall. Her
panicked screams echoed throughout the platform. The slime that was originally dormant began to wriggle, and one black hand after another emerged from it. At first glance, it looked like countless black creatures had grown out of the ground.
Those hands were all rotten, and some had too much flesh lost, revealing the white bones underneath.
Some passengers were caught by the ankles or calves and used their weapons to cut off the black hands. However, new black hands would soon emerge from the sticky substance, endlessly.
The same was true on the walls. Black hands broke through the sticky substance and tried to grab every passenger passing by. Some
people were unable to dodge and were caught. Then their arms and bodies were firmly grasped by the black hands. They could no longer use their weapons and were finally dragged into the sticky substance with screams.
Some people have special skills. When they are caught, they use their skills to jump up high. They think they can escape, but the next second they are caught by the black hand on the ceiling. They are like being hung on the ceiling. They are dragged into the sticky things on the ceiling in the struggle.
Some people take out heavy weapons and run all the way. Although this action makes the stench around more intense, it finally temporarily eliminates a wave of black hands and clears the way ahead.
Some people also have shield-like props. They drive the props all the way and rush forward regardless of anything. When the black hand on the ground hits the shield, it will affect the speed of the person's running, but at least it can protect the person and prevent him from being dragged by the black hand.
The Youxi team also rushed all the way under the protection of the shield.
They followed the direction of the train and ran forward for a long time before they saw the lights of the departure hall. The closer they got to the place, the denser the sticky substances on the ground, walls and ceiling became, and the larger the area became. Some places were impossible to avoid, and people without shields could only force their way through.
However, many passengers were equipped with flamethrowers. Although most of them were ordinary flamethrowers that could only fire four times, compared with other weapons, flamethrowers were obviously more effective.
In this way, relying on different weapons and props, the passengers stepped on the disgusting, sticky, rotten limbs and sticky substances and rushed into the safe departure hall. After all,
the danger level of the platform this time was not very high. As long as you have the corresponding weapons and props, you can pass it smoothly, but the key is disgust.
Not to mention those passengers who have only been to a few stations, even many experienced passengers who have been to more than ten stations have never seen such a disgusting station platform.
Some people insisted all the way to the lobby, but their bodies were already covered with all kinds of unknown sticky substances and the pieces of flesh that exploded after the rotten severed hands were blown away. Not to mention the female passengers, even many male passengers were so disgusted by their own bodies that they ran to the side to vomit.
You Zhenzhen had just put away the shield for less than two seconds, and when she saw several people vomiting next to her, she subconsciously opened the shield again.
Just at this moment, a grenade was thrown and hit the reopened shield, exploding with a dazzling fire.
"Fuck!" You Zhenzhen really didn't expect to be attacked as soon as she arrived in the lobby.
The next second, Xiyuan moved. He rushed out of the shield and slashed at the dimly lit corner in front of him. The black sword emitted a faint blue flame. The two people who were sneaking in the corner screamed and immediately used machine guns to sweep Xiyuan like crazy, but all the bullets were blocked by the shield tied to Xiyuan's weapon.
"You actually have a shield too..." The other party screamed unwillingly and was engulfed by the flames that burst out again on the black sword.
There were three people in total. Xiyuan did not hold back and killed them all.
After he returned, his face was still a little solemn, but more of it was fear. If You Zhenzhen had not suddenly opened the shield again, the direction of the grenade explosion would have been exactly the direction where You Xi was.
Youxi noticed his mood and comforted him: "Don't worry, even if Zhenzhen didn't open the shield, I can dodge it with my speed, and with my current physical condition, even if I am blown up, I will not be seriously injured."
"Yes." He held her wrist, and when everyone was about to step out of the arrival hall, he reminded her again, "We are about to separate, you must be careful, we will meet as soon as possible."
"Yes." Youxi also glanced at the other friends behind him, "Everyone be careful, we don't know what the station will be this time, we will meet as soon as possible."

You Xi stood in an empty apartment, looking down at her phone.
There were no confirmed Easter egg fragments for this station, so she could only hope that when she completed the mission, she would get a fragment reward.
This time she did not come out from a public area, but from an apartment room. Looking at the surrounding environment, it seemed to be an abandoned apartment building.
The apartment had windows, and it was a cloudy day outside. She walked over a few steps and found that the apartment building was not very high. She was currently on the fourth floor.
The apartment building was close to the road. From her position, she could see pedestrians and other buildings on the road outside. Most of the buildings were relatively old. From the scale of the city streets, it could be seen that this was not a very large city. The pedestrians on the road
all looked Western. This should be a foreign city.
The weather was obviously cloudy, but the temperature was very high. The weather was very sultry, and the wind blew over, with waves of heat.
From her angle, she could not see the whole picture of the city, so she could not know how big the entire city of Fran was for the time being.
But one thing is certain, this seems to be a normal city at the moment, and living in a normal city for 44 days requires currency.
She took out her phone and opened the team group. Someone in the group had already spoken, it was You Zhenzhen.
You Zhenzhen: Good news, good news! I have unlimited currency! Family members, go to the nearest bank to apply for a card, and tell me your account number after applying for the card, and I will transfer money to you!
The team below is very neat.
Tang Yatong: Got it!
Lin Wu: Got it!
You Xi: Got it! Where is Xiyuan? Do you have much savings as an aboriginal? If not, I will send you the account number.
Xiyuan quickly sent a string of numbers and wrote down the type of bank card. He then said that he had a small problem that needed to be solved first. He also reminded them to be careful, saying that the area around him was full of military personnel and that something seemed to have happened.
Youxi: When the money is in place, everyone should go buy a mobile phone, download the map, and then share the location and meet up as soon as possible.
**
Youxi successfully left the abandoned apartment building from the safe staircase, asked a random passerby where the nearest bank was, and quickly applied for a bank card.
Ten minutes after she sent the account number to You Zhenzhen, there was an extra five million in the account.
Youxi: ...
The phone vibrated. It was a message from You Zhenzhen in the group: Everyone gets five million. Don't think it's too little~
Youxi: ...
As expected, you are rich and willful.
She left the bank immediately and took a taxi to the nearest mobile phone store, where she bought two latest models of mobile phones. Mobile phone technology was similar to her native world. She quickly became familiar with how to use it and downloaded a lot of useful software.
After that, she used one phone to slowly download the map of the entire Fran city, while using the other phone in her hand.
She spent the highest deposit on a car rental app to rent a large off-road vehicle. At present, she has a lot of food and daily necessities in her space, and the 20-cubic-meter water tank was also filled with warm clean water at the Fairyland station.
The only thing that could not be replenished at the previous stop was fuel.
She originally had 15 cubic meters of fuel tanks in her space. The fuel inside was stored at the "Paradise Island" station. At that time, it was only 60% to 70% full. In addition, there were several sealed and full large fuel barrels in the item grid.
Later, when she was in Bai Niao Lake, because of the special station and the low temperature, the generator was needed all the time, so a lot of fuel was consumed, but it was not replenished in time.
When those fuel barrels were on this train, she only kept two, and the other eight were distributed to Tang Yatong and others as backup.
So at this time, she didn't have much fuel left in her space. It was rare for her to come to an ordinary city. She wanted to stock up on fuel while the situation outside was still normal.
After all, the team was getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for fuel would also be getting bigger and bigger in the future.
She had the largest space among all people. Although the fairy tale park could not store fuel, it was still easy to get square boxes. She now had a total of 30 cubic meters in her space that she used as fuel tanks. If all of them were filled with 30,000 liters of fuel, it would be enough for them to use for a long time.
But to get fuel, she definitely couldn't do it without a car.
She took a taxi to the car rental company to pick up the car, and then according to the map on her mobile phone, she started from the nearest gas station and prepared to collect fuel one by one.
Gas stations abroad are very loose, and Fran is no exception. Usually, they are self-service refueling. As long as you pay, no one cares whether you put the oil in the car or in a portable oil drum.
She bought five 30L portable gas cans at the gas station and lined them up in the trunk. While refueling the car and the portable gas cans, she leaned on the gas pump and quickly transferred the gasoline into the space.
Watching the fuel tanks fill up little by little, her heart was strangely filled with a sense of security.
When refueling at the third gas station, Lin Wu, who was randomly abandoned in a remote street, finally found a bank and successfully applied for a card. After that, it took a lot of time to find a mobile phone store to buy a mobile phone, and then determined her location. At this moment, she was leaving a message in the group and sending her mobile phone number to them.
You Xi was about to laugh a few words of absurdity, but heard a scream from the entrance of the gas station.
A car that was about to leave the gas station stopped, as if it had hit someone who suddenly jumped out of the gas station.
Amid the screams of passersby, the driver hurriedly got out of the car and wanted to check the injuries of the person who was hit.
Through the car, Youxi couldn't see the specific condition of the person who fell to the ground, but from the screams of the onlookers, she knew that the condition of the person who was hit was very bad. She looked at it distractedly and suddenly noticed something strange.
