Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

Chapter 258 258 Accident

Fortunately, the driver himself is still at risk and will slow down when encountering turns.

Mountains overlapped along the way, and Yin Ling could see familiar scenery based on her memory when she arrived. After inadvertently turning a corner, she discovered that some places that were originally wastelands were being reclaimed by machines, and it was actually very lively along the way.

It seems that construction is going on everywhere in this section of the mountain range, not only housing is being built, but also roads and viaducts are being built.

"Is this place originally planned to be developed?" Yin Ling couldn't help but ask when he passed by a mountain col again and saw someone digging a foundation.

As soon as she made a sound, the couple who were taking a nap with their eyes closed opened their eyes and looked out the window curiously.

"I've never heard of such a big plan. Your Sunshine Community had planned it earlier. You live in the first batch of residences. But I didn't expect there would be such a large-scale snow disaster. After you came, The government increased the size of the community overnight, and several surrounding mountains seem to have new development plans.”

The driver's local accent was a bit strong, but he had developed a bit of local Mandarin over the years of driving, so it didn't affect communication.

"Hey, it's just this area. When I came the day before yesterday, there was no one there. Now the construction walls are all around it, and the work is going so fast." The driver pursed his lips and glanced at the construction site, which was still a few hundred meters away from the highway.

Everyone looked over with strange expressions on their faces.

As we all know, the various processes for a project from planning to confirmation to bidding announcement are very complicated. Some projects may not be implemented in three to five years. Even private self-built houses in rural areas cannot be started so quickly like this. of.

There is a row of large trucks in the oncoming lane, and truckloads of steel and concrete are being transported in.

The car drove for an hour and a half before we saw the originally normal villages and towns, which were no different from ordinary towns.

It took another hour to drive to the city. There is no station in the county, otherwise it would be closer to the county.

There were not many people at the station at this time of year, but there were quite a few. At least there were not many empty seats in the waiting area after entering the station.

After waiting for half an hour, I checked in and boarded the train.

The two suitcases were placed in the exclusive luggage area in front of the carriage by Yin Ling. She put the two backpacks on the luggage rack above the seat.

Theoretically, large luggage cannot be placed on the luggage rack on the high-speed rail seat because it is not wide enough and will easily be shaken down if something happens, which is not safe. Although she has not encountered any accidents, Yin Ling is used to putting her suitcases in the special luggage area when she rides in the car because it is convenient to access. In the past, when she was riding alone in the car, it was not possible to put her suitcases in the luggage rack above the seat. It was too realistic. Most of the time, she had to trouble the uncle nearby. Later, she found out that there was a luggage area and stopped troublesome others.

The car started quickly, the scenery outside the car window flew by, and the sun was shining brightly.

Yin Ling leaned back on the back chair and tilted her head to look at the scenery outside. It was a difficult time to relax. The entire carriage was also very quiet. There were no people talking loudly on the phone or children making noises. The carriage was not full, and after an hour of stopping at the station, someone took the seat in front of Yin Ling.

A young man wearing a printed sweatshirt pulled a large suitcase. He pulled the items on the luggage rack back and forth and then put the suitcase on the rack with both hands. The suitcase did not look heavy.

Although Yin Ling did not give the person in front of her a direct look, the movement nearby could not escape her perception.

The car drove for another two hours and stopped briefly at two stations along the way.

At noon, I scanned the QR code and ordered two meals. One person said that a high-speed rail meal is really expensive. But she can't let her grandma eat instant noodles. Although they are expensive, they taste good.

Yin Ling slowly ate the fried meat with slices of bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots were not old and the meat was fragrant. Although grandma said it was expensive, it would be a waste not to eat it after buying it. It was also delicious and not a grain of rice was wasted.

Two braised prawns were not a loss. Yin Ling broke off the heads of the prawns, peeled off the shells, took a bite of the prawns, and the prawn meat was fried... Before he finished eating one prawn, he heard the whistle of the high-speed rail!

Yin Ling was suddenly startled. He threw the uneaten half of the shrimp in his hand directly into the lunch box, and then picked up the handkerchief he had taken out in advance to wipe off the oil stains on his hands.

At this time, people in the car were also startled by the sudden sound of the whistle.

High-speed trains generally do not sound their whistles, but they will sound when they encounter tunnels, bridges, crossings, or places where the line of sight is not bright.

Yin Ling looked out the window. The midday sun was shining brightly, and the houses and trees in the distance were retreating rapidly.

The whistle continued, and the people in the carriage were just startled by the sudden sound and complained to each other. When the second whistle sounded next, they didn't care so much.

However, Yin Ling clearly felt that the train was a little unstable, as she could tell by looking at the pack of Heart Seal handkerchiefs hanging on the carriage in front of her and falling to the ground. Looking up at the monitor in front of the carriage again confirmed this fact.

The train is slowing down. Judging from the time, it is only twenty minutes since the last stop and at least half an hour until the next stop. It is impossible to slow down so quickly. In addition, this continuous Honk the horn, there must be something wrong with the road ahead.

After covering the half-eaten lunch box, Yin Ling touched her hand to the seat belt next to her grandma's seat. Before eating, she accompanied her grandma to the bathroom. When she came back, she didn't fasten the seat belt. She had experienced a lot, and she was better than The average person needs to be much more cautious.

But before she could fasten her seat belt, the car in front of her suddenly went dark, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet. Even the continuous sound of the whistle suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the train rumbling forward.

Yin Ling grabbed her grandma's arm immediately and looked up at the faint light in front of the car. It still displayed the latest speed, which had dropped from the previous speed of 256km/h to 196km/h.

"what!"

"What's wrong?!"

"Going into the tunnel?"

"Isn't this tunnel too dark?!"

Yin Ling looked out the window and saw nothing but darkness, without a trace of light.

The car suddenly became noisy, and it seemed like midnight even though it was noon.

"Lingling, what, what's going on?" Li Xiu'e's voice was a little panicked as she grabbed her granddaughter's hand.

"Maybe we entered a tunnel. It's okay. Grandma, please fasten your seat belt first."

Yin Ling took out her mobile phone and turned on the light for her grandma to hold. He helped her fasten her seat belt. People in the carriage also turned on their mobile phone lights. Many people were calling the flight attendants, and some people turned on their mobile phones to scan the 2D screen on the seat. Code tried to call the flight attendant.

Then everyone discovered that their mobile phones had lost signal at some point.

Yin Ling fastened his and grandma's seat belts. Hearing everyone discussing, he also took his mobile phone. Sure enough, there was no signal at all.
