Uncle Zheng's words were still echoing in Xie Zhiyan's ears.
He was even more eager to see Shu Ying and the two children.
"Eat quickly, we'll be in the capital soon."
The man opened the lunchbox, and the little girl politely turned it towards him, saying, "Daddy, you eat first."
The man smiled with relief: "Dad isn't hungry yet, you should eat."
The little girl happily picked up her chopsticks, carefully took a bite of shredded potato, and put it in her mouth, one eye savoring the brief moment of deliciousness.
Xie Zhiyan's lips unconsciously curled up.
It's often said that girls are a mother's little cotton-padded jacket, I wonder if her daughter will be just as well-behaved and sensible.
"Bang--"
Xie Zhiyan was still thinking to himself, and the smile on his face hadn't even faded yet.
Suddenly a loud bang came from the front carriage, and the carriage began to shake violently.
"Wow, wow wow—"
On the train, children, whether asleep or awake, all began to wail loudly.
The girl, who had been enjoying her meal, looked up in horror and instinctively glanced at the man beside her.
The man held her tightly in his arms, carefully watching the situation ahead.
"Don't be afraid, little girl, Daddy's here, Daddy's here."
A commotion erupted in the carriage, followed by a strange, loud noise that grew louder as it approached.
Before anyone could react, the front of the train exploded, a wave of heat hit them, and the massive shockwave sent everyone who was still moving around inside the carriages flying out.
"Mommy, I want to go home, Mommy!"
Xie Zhiyan's pupils reflected the exploded front of the train. Their carriage was right in the middle, and a group of people were running towards the two passageways like headless flies.
But the train is still on the tracks, and the doors haven't been opened yet. If it runs in the wrong direction, it's like a moth drawn to a flame, only hastening its own demise.
Xie Zhiyan quickly stood up from his seat, put his hands to his lips and shouted, "Everyone, don't be afraid! Everyone lie down under your seats. Don't move around. The train is still shaking, so don't make any sudden movements. Follow the instructions of the train staff, and everyone will be fine!"
"Everyone, don't panic, listen to me..."
"Bang--"
Before Xie Zhiyan could finish speaking, thick smoke billowed towards them at a visible speed.
The carriage is a very enclosed space, and it was already noisy.
The sounds of children crying, adults panicking, and violent impacts from outside created a painful sensation in the ears.
"Is this a car crash or a fire? Everyone, run for your lives!"
I don't know who shouted first. We haven't seen any obvious fire yet, but such thick smoke couldn't have appeared out of thin air.
The situation inside the carriage was becoming increasingly chaotic, with thick smoke carrying a pungent odor, making it impossible to even see what was happening in the adjacent carriage.
Panic grew among the crowd, with everyone desperately trying to jump out of the windows to escape, but it was too late.
The sudden collision between the two trains threw many people off balance, and train staff who had been pushing the dining car were killed instantly.
"Oh no, someone's dead! Someone's dead! What happened? How could trains collide? What are we going to do? Is there anyone to save us?"
