Abyss Express

The big kerosene lamp on the third platform flickered on and off.

When the train arrived at the station, the scarlet steam gushed out and brought a noisy gale.

The car captain sounded the horn to warn, and the maintenance personnel put on labor protection gloves and became busy.

Garbage trucks drove slowly from the train carriages into the diversion gate, and the oil, water and filth that flowed down were cleaned up by the cleaners.

The stewardess blew a loud whistle in cooperation with the platform manager, telling every staff member and passenger to pay attention to the giant steel beast that had just stopped.

Jiang Xueming watched the train silently——

——In his dark brown pupils are the flames of kerosene lamps, and there are big iron wheels that look like the pupils of a beast.

When he came here last time, he was in a hurry and didn't care to look carefully.

Getting ready to board the train again, people are thinking about what kind of great engineering equipment it is, and how much manpower and material resources it took to build this underground railway network.

He has already put on new clothes, and the heavy luggage on his shoulders is full of necessary props for survival in the wild.

His heart is both uneasy and looking forward to——

——Looking forward to this unknown journey, where will the train take him?

The last time he set off, he wanted to save his closest relatives.

This time, he wanted to bring Bu Meteor back safely.

There is still a long-term plan to complete.

According to the manager, many trade transfer stations are still in a semi-abandoned state, like post stations at various transportation hubs. If you want to establish a coffee shop in those places, you may have to spend a lot of money.

The currency of the mundane world naturally cannot buy storefronts or land in the underground world.

Only Pyroxene coins or Blood Butterfly coupons are still useful. In the farther parts of the underground world, I am afraid that people are still using barter to make transactions.

Railways are like routes, and new stations are constantly being built to connect "islands". These "islands" are relatively closed, and opportunities and risks coexist.

Jiang Xueming looked down at the ticket. There was still the orange pattern of barley ears, and the upside-down pattern of the pentagram representing the devil.

[Jiujie Station]

[HK→DD]

[Block 01A, Car 02, Platform 3]

Other than that, there is no extra information, no friendly reminders, not even the ride time.

This is the consistent style of the station, and it is a countermeasure prepared to deal with passengers picking and choosing the contents of the investigation.

When the passengers arrive at the designated station, there will be corresponding staff to pick them up - at that time it will be too late to regret.

If passengers exchange tickets privately, the codes of these places of arrival are very simple, and the face of the ticket is difficult to confuse. The staff on the train only need to pay more attention to the seat number to see that the ticket is not for the right person, and the ticket can be exchanged in time. repatriation of personnel.

"Brother Ming."

Meteor has recovered from the hangover giddiness.

He put on the passenger's spirit clothes, with a large golden lock hidden in the chest buttons, hanging around his neck like a necklace, this is his life talisman.

He was leaning on a cane made of pure metal, and he was still wearing flamboyant gold zipper boots and a flamboyant cowboy hat like last time.

Ah Xing's attire looks like a cowboy who seems to be ready to explore the wilderness at any time.

But looking at Jiang Xueming, he suddenly felt like a good baby.

——The black lacquered leather crotch pants on Xue Ming's body were hung with a row of small panacea bottles, the size of which were like twelve-gauge shotguns.

Two strong belts are tied crosswise to form an X, and further down, a hollow is cut in the crotch, inside is a pair of tight-fitting white quick-drying trousers that are suitable for action, tightly wrapped around the thighs, sweat can be quickly absorbed by the breathable plastic The cloth is absorbed, and then evaporated to dryness.

If you are injured, the blood will drip on the white trousers, and you will be able to spot the blood in the first place.

Step up the shooting star and look up again——

——Brother Ming's spiritual clothing was changed into a lightweight jacket. In order to facilitate the injection of the panacea, a hollow hole in the shape of a heart was cut out on the chest, and the raw edge was sealed with gold wire.

From the cuff of the left arm to the shoulder all the way to the right arm, from the armpits to the waist and the back, there are a total of twelve segmented zippers, which can complete the separation of clothes without unbuttoning them.

Although Bu Liuxing understands that Brother Ming did this for the sake of safety, after all, he spent a lot of effort to cut Brother Ming's clothes last time at Mrs. Canaan's place. It would be much more convenient if there were these zippers .

But this dress is really

"This is too coquettish! Brother Ming." Bu Liuxing was a little crazy, as if there were ants crawling on his body: "Are we really getting the same things!"

Jiang Xueming explained: "I made a little modification"

Bu Meteor said excitedly: "Give me one too! Give me one too! Do you know, you look like you are in a western movie now."

He couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, so he was embarrassed.

Jiang Xueming: "Striper?"

"Hey." Ah Xing scratched his head, really wanted to say that, because the jacket looked easy to take off.

"Think what you want." Jiang Xueming is a man of life, and doesn't care about these exaggerated adjectives.

Just like the joke my sister used to tell.

"Pouring offal is like pouring red wine."

"Fireflies in the night."

"Martini with olives."

All of this is just the attitude of people who live seriously.

If one day this attire will cause unnecessary trouble, he will also change the clothes to other styles.

But at present, this equipment is the best equipment for him to struggle to survive in the underground world.

After the vehicle completed the self-inspection, Ah Xing stepped on the iron mesh frame with one foot, and left the other foot on the platform.

Just at this time--

——Xiao Qi hurried over.

She was like in an old movie from the 1980s, an intellectual young woman chasing love, with a lunch box in her hand, stumbling along the way.

She ran in front of Jiang Xueming, and before she could enter the scene, she was burnt by Xueming's suit in front of her, causing two lines of nosebleeds to flow out.

But she still cheered up, and then pretended to be reluctant and affectionate.

"The things in the car are all frozen products, not tasty, Xueming, I cooked for you, and there is an instruction manual for the life amulet on the outside of the lunch box, take a good look after you get in the car."

Jiang Xueming took the lunch box and nodded.

"Thanks."

Xiao Qi turned around sharply, with a hurt look: "Why do you and I say thank you. If this love lasts forever."

The cleaning lady next to her came over and wiped away the nosebleed she had thrown on the ground when she turned her head, which ruined the atmosphere very much.

Jiang Xueming took out a tissue and wiped off Brother Seven's nosebleed as if he was wiping his mouth.

He said: "Okay, okay, how come it's day and night, is it over?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Qi became happy all of a sudden, holding Xue Ming's hand, her eyes became sparkling.

Jiang Xueming then asked about the Iron Ring: "Are you ready?"

Xiao Qi nodded fiercely: "Get ready! I will never faint again. Sister Yangchun and I have practiced many times."

Jiang Xueming took out the ring box and prepared to give it to Xiaoqi.

He repeatedly emphasized: "You are really ready! Really! Don't lie to me!"

Xiao Qi's eyes were serious, as if he was about to go to the execution ground: "Yes!"

Jiang Xueming added: "This is not a marriage proposal. The old spirit wants me to give you one of these rings. Do you understand what that means? I'm afraid you will die suddenly, and I will pay for it."

"Bring it you! Hurry up!" Xiao Qi urged, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Xue Ming didn't open the ring box, but just handed it over.

Zhao Yangchun was at the corridor window, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, looking at the couple on the platform.

She gave orders to the units.

"Attention the medical emergency team, observe the status of No. 9527 at all times, and prepare electric shock first aid and hyperbaric oxygen equipment—Over if there is danger."

Xiao Qi took the ring box.

Immediately afterwards, she began to breathe deeply, and kept breathing deeply.

She blushed down to the neck, like a criminal who has done something bad and ran into the worst cop in her life.

She wanted to open the jewelry box and take a closer look.

Xueming stopped Seventh Brother.

Then he leaned close to Seventh Brother's ear and whispered.

"This is my talisman, don't look here, there are too many people here, go back and look slowly."

"Okay" Xiaoqi responded, and walked back to the corridor in three steps.

But after a few steps, he ran back.

She hinted coyly, she couldn't even speak clearly, her words were incoherent, as if she had received a great mental shock: "You can't get hurt when you come back safely, you have to ring the bell, I'll give it to you."

"This?" Jiang Xueming took out the summons bell from his bag, which was a gift from Seventh Brother a long time ago.

"Yes." Xiaoqi finally felt relieved: "The station rules, if your life is in danger, if you ring the bell, our waiter will come to rescue you, no matter where you are - but don't shake it if you are fine, you will be punished. "

"good."

Xue Ming stuffed the summoning bell into his inner pocket, boarded the train and went to his seat.

He leaned against the car window and sat down side by side with Bu Liuxing. I also saw Xiao Qi in the corridor, waving to him from a long distance away.

His five senses are superb, and he can see very clearly——

——Very, very clear, Xiao Qi pursed her mouth and raised her hand, likening it to gently shaking the summoning bell.

That neat, generous, handsome, and lecherous elder sister seemed to have turned back into a woman made of water.

Xue Ming didn't speak, but just raised his hand, showing his thumbs up to Seventh Brother, telling Seventh Brother not to worry.

Just that moment——

——9527 rushed out of the crossing again and ran onto the platform.

She just walked slowly at first. Walking slowly with the train, without saying anything, looked up at Xueming.

Jiang Xueming asked, "Aren't you going back?"

Xiao Qi just shook his head and didn't speak.

Jiang Xueming asked again: "I heard from your leader that you took more than half a month's leave. I'm sorry, but I've caused you trouble."

Xiao Qi still just shook his head, didn't speak, and ran all the way, holding his head high.

The train goes faster and faster.

A dense mist rose from the chimney.

Under the golden light of the magma lake, it turned into a piece of pink.

Jiang Xueming: "Stop chasing! Be careful!"

Xiao Qi didn't listen, and ran quickly.

She rushed to the railing at the edge of the platform, climbed to the outer edge of the cliff, and was only one step away from jumping into the lava lake.

She watched the train on the steel bridge, taking her employer further into the underground world.

After all, she still didn't say anything, clutching the ring box tightly.

Newsstand on the third platform.

Jason Megan sits on a bench—

—He held up the newspaper, covered his face, and secretly looked in the direction the train was leaving.

He looked at the young girl running on the platform with sad eyes.

After a long time, he left silently from the newsstand and hid in the logistics channel for trucks and goods.

At this moment, his little waiter jumped out from the large electrical cabinet.

"Mr. Jason! Did you make it?"

"No."

"Why? Didn't you agree to do it today?"

"Today is not a good time."

"Didn't we discuss it? As soon as you give an order, I will immediately cut off the electricity on platform 3, and then it's time for your performance!"

"I'm not ready, even if he gets lucky, let him go. Let's change our plan!"

"I said why didn't I receive the password! Don't be discouraged, my good sir, you will definitely regain your confidence!"

"Um"

"Aim far away! Aim far away!"

"Um"

When Mr. Megan and his little waiter were walking back to the third platform from the logistics passage, they happened to bump into the grandpa administrator.

Immediately afterwards, two armed employees came up to question them.

"What were you doing just now? Why are you hiding in the logistics channel?"

The old man the administrator pointed to Megan and the little waiter to question.

"I heard it! I heard it very clearly! What were you discussing secretly just now—"

"—Are you trying to destroy the facilities at the station?"
