Chapter 159 Getting People Out
The scene inside the waiting hall was very eerie.
The large space was bustling with noise, and rows of seats were filled with passengers waiting to depart.
Those people were all blurry images, some looking tired, others idly playing on their phones.
The loud noise in the space seemed to be coming from the speakers, giving it a somewhat unreal feel.
Ticket checkpoint.
Separated by a gate, the interior was deserted and eerily quiet, with dark, empty holes in the wall at the far end.
Seeing his companion about to enter the gate, Wu Kui anxiously called out loudly.
"Yang Li!"
His voice was very loud.
The four people with their backs to them did not react at all.
One of the sentries had blood streaming down his thigh, staining his military green trousers red. Blood dripped down his trousers and onto the ground, leaving a series of shocking bloodstains.
Even so, he did not stop and continued to walk into the dark depths of the gate.
Seeing his companions half-dead, Lai Yongyi anxiously shouted, "Hey! Wake up! Don't go any further!"
"Holy crap! Quick, stop them!" Duan Xi ran toward the ticket gate.
Tao Haohao quickly followed, trying to stop the four from entering the station.
Wu Kui and Lai Yongyi also realized what was happening.
Following behind the two, they ran quickly toward the ticket gate.
As they drew closer, Tao Haohao's hand was about to touch one of the sentries when he instantly sensed something was wrong.
He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! What did the gatekeepers do to them?!"
As they approached, the man's body rippled, and a protective shield formed, identical to that on the mutant, blocked Tao Haohao's hand.
The dark matter on their bodies was particularly concentrated.
The strands condensed into fine lines, dancing in the air.
Duan Xi also noticed it, quickly looked around, ran over and grabbed the canvas bag from one of the phantom figures.
The illusory object instantly took on physical form the moment it touched his hand.
Duan Xi put the strap of his satchel on one of the sentries.
He pulled on the strap and said to the other three, "Never mind, get them out of here first."
Yun Zhao is outside; she might be able to save them.
The four sentries seemed to be controlled by something, ignoring their conversation and numbly continuing to walk into the black hole inside the gate.
The other three quickly followed suit, searching for something inside the station to use as a cover to drag the person out.
The station fell silent in an instant.
All the noise disappeared.
The illusory figure sitting in the chair suddenly raised its head and stared intently at the group of people who were about to leave.
Then, countless illusory figures slowly stood up and mechanically walked towards them.
Duan Xi felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively took two steps back. "Holy crap! Is it a zombie?!"
“Something’s clearly not right. What are you waiting for?”
Tao Haohao yelled at the two stunned people, "Hurry up! Get out of here!"
The trapped sentry was restless and kept trying to get inside.
Each of the four men pulled one of them, like in a tug-of-war, struggling to drag the four people in the opposite direction.
The shadowy figures inside the station surrounded them from all directions, slowly approaching them.
The crowd gathered and surged toward them like a tide.
Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, Tao Haohao quickly released his spiritual form to block in front of him.
"Hurry up, everyone!"
Virtual objects will become physical objects when touched.
He wasn't sure what would happen if he touched those phantoms.
The phantom grew closer and closer, encircling them from all sides. Its movement suddenly accelerated, as if its stiff limbs had suddenly become flexible.
"run!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Duan Xi shouted and took the lead in dragging a sentry away.
Wu Kui and Lai Yongyi quickly released their spiritual bodies to defend themselves, their pace quickening as they dared not look back.
The station gate is just ahead.
The four of them saw the exit and tried to rush out in one go.
The sentry with a leg injury suddenly moved, his expression one of extreme pain. He let out a roar and lunged at Duan Xi's back.
The peregrine falcon had already sensed something and its sharp talons were already aimed at the sentry.
Duan Xi stopped the spirit's movements, nimbly dodging it and quickly tightening the bag in his hand around the spirit's hands, thus controlling the spirit.
"You're in this state and you still dare to launch a sneak attack?"
Duan Xi complained, "Can't you be honest and learn from Zhou Tianqi?"
The restrained sentry was unable to move and quickly returned to a numb expression.
Finally, she stopped struggling and was successfully led out of the bus station by the four people.
The moment they stepped out of the station, the countless phantoms behind them stopped moving, stood in a row, and stared blankly at them as they left.
The sun is shining brightly outside.
Everything is normal.
The little bluebird flapped its wings, perched outside the door, and swept its disdainful gaze over them.
[Useless.]
Duan Xi was speechless.
Tao Haohao couldn't help but look back.
The illusory figures inside the station receded like the tide, dispersing and returning to their original positions.
A sudden burst of noise erupted.
The announcements returned to normal, with a sweet voice reminding passengers and broadcasting train information.
Tao Haohao admitted that he wasn't very bright; when he didn't understand, he asked, "What's going on?"
Unfortunately, Duan Xi was standing next to him.
"You're asking me? Then who am I supposed to ask?" Duan Xi replied nonchalantly.
Wu Kui and Lai Yongyi were anxiously checking on their companions and didn't have time to speak.
Besides, asking them won't help.
Prior to this, neither of them had ever entered the contaminated area.
I have never encountered such a bizarre scene before.
*
They quickly dragged the people to the square to assemble.
The square was bustling with people.
A brightly colored pirate ship was abruptly moored there.
Xie Tu was standing beside the boat, talking to Song Liang.
On the boat, a parasol had been erected at some point, and a set of children's table and chairs was placed under it.
Xiao Yunzhao sat in a chair, with a round table in front of him covered with street food.
There were fried potatoes, grilled lamb skewers, sweet and sour cold noodles, grilled chicken wings, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted chestnuts...
Xiao Yunzhao leisurely held a cup of mango smoothie, glanced at the group of people who had returned, and then turned her head away with a bored expression, as if looking at them would offend her eyes.
Duan Xi: "..."
Tao Haohao: "..."
The sentries from the Salt Lake search team were clearly not in good condition.
For the sake of his companions, Wu Kui had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Captain Xie, what happened to them? Is there any way to save them?"
Xie Tu stepped forward and carefully examined the sentries who had been dragged back.
The four people were bound with various kinds of straps and remained motionless after they came out.
The dark substance on his body was indeed frighteningly dense, with wisps dancing like fine threads.
However, no distortion occurred.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a situation where the goalkeeper controls the situation.
Xie Tu's gaze quickly settled on the train tickets they were clutching in their hands.
He pried open one of the sentries' hands and pulled out the crumpled ticket.
Finally, the geographical name appeared above.
