Abyss Express

A sweet female voice came from the train radio.

"Passengers, the train is at the station ahead—a rare man's palace."

“Passengers in the fourth, eighth, and eleventh quarters—Niu Xiaocui, Wang Kang, Ryugu Yumiko, Ben Klein (Ben Klein) please prepare to get off the train in advance. The security staff will take the initiative to contact you and arrange a three-day sightseeing schedule for you in the rare man's palace."

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your contribution to the removal of the Nine Realms station."

"Other passengers who have not received the nomination notice, if you also get off at the rare man's palace, please make way for the nominated passengers in the radio broadcast, thank you for your cooperation."

"The stop time of this train is ten minutes."

"Other passengers who have not arrived at the station, please do not get off and walk around at will, so as not to delay the journey."

"Please carefully check your carry-on items when you get off the car, so as not to forget them in the car, I wish you a pleasant journey."

The golden lava reflects the red and black iron wagons.

Xue Ming leaned against the window and saw the city and the station bridge that were getting closer and closer in the distance.

It was an isolated island on a magma lake, and its flat block wall was immersed in the lava lake all the way, like a foundation built up little by little with strong and heat-resistant clay cubes that cost countless manpower and material resources.

Above that is a magnificent palace.

It is like a huge beehive, except for the railway platform of the main warehouse, which is divided into tiers of living areas. The east and west sides are filled with densely packed viaducts, and motorcycles go from the entrances and exits of various palaces to other places through the viaducts. It is also the main means of transportation for citizens.

"Wow." Brother Ah Xing changed to Xueming's row, afraid that he might not be able to see the city clearly, like a curious baby.

This little brother almost stuck to Xue Ming's face.

"The rare man's palace." Xue Ming silently recited the name. This was also the first station he arrived at by train after coming to the underground world.

"The passenger log says that this place is a trade transfer station for the underground world." Ah Xing patted him on the shoulder and explained to him: "Look, the highest entrance to the Palace City is a commercial street inside."

Xueming asked, "What can I buy?"

"It's not written in the diary." Ah Xing replied: "But you can go to the reception center of Xiren's Palace to ask for a shopping guide. There are all kinds of things, and you can also buy strange things hosted by the people of the star realm."

Star Boundary Citizen——Xue Ming has seen this word in the diary.

In the cognition of the staff of the scientific research station, they are more similar to ultra-ancient creatures.

Few astral creatures can communicate directly with humans. For the two, different species have completely different ways of thinking and social structures, and it is almost impossible to reach a consensus. Although they are all intelligent life forms, the cognitive gap is greater than that of humans and dogs. Still big.

These life forms exist in various forms, some are as big as mountains, and some are as small as dust. The organs on his body are also full of strange things, just looking at the illustrations in the passenger log makes Xueming dizzy.

All in all, anything related to the astral world represents danger and opportunity.

In the travel record, it is recorded that one of the contact with the astral world ended in an extremely tragic and terrifying result.

Sixty-four years ago, humans came into contact with an astral being called a panini.

The shape of this creature is very similar to jellyfish stacked on top of each other. It floats in the air through a strange and inexplicable geometric rectangular force field, like a balloon.

When humans first discovered this creature, they thought it was just a low-intelligence life form like yarn sheep.

But after sixteen months of observation, the scientific research station discovered that these aliens, which look like Panini hamburgers, can draw and write on rock walls with an invisible and intangible rectangular force field, and can do basic mathematical operations.

These paninis do not use numbers, but use force fields to vibrate in the air to produce regular beats, and use powerful bioelectricity to stimulate the luminescent moss underground, emitting high-frequency light source rhythms.

They are like singing, showing these rational and mathematical things.

They will follow the infrastructure towers of the station and gather together, and they will communicate with each other, as if discussing the towers in one place, wondering why such a big and bright guy came to their own site.

Their delicate rectangular force fields can be carved out of rock to the same scale as electric pylons.

Unfortunately, Panini cannot detect human bioelectricity.

Moreover, when human beings contacted Panini in the formal physical sense for the first time, serious astral pollution occurred.

In the human immune system, there are many probiotics and symbiotic parasites from the surface, as well as viruses that have fought against the human immune system for 500 million years.

After many Paninis came into contact with human beings, their fragile physical bodies immediately became an extremely high-intensity epidemic under the ravages of these things.

Seven months later, Panini's six population settlements experienced several major plagues.

In the end, the extremely common infectious disease in the human world killed all the panini in the entire fifty-fifth district.

When they died, those invisible and intangible force fields turned into radiation signals that spread out in circles.

Since then, people have never seen the little singing jellyfish, and Panini has never been found in other plots. It seems that there are terrible legends circulating in the Panini community.

With their last bit of strength, they screamed at the other clansmen, asking them to leave here and escape to a deeper underground world.

The core building of Xiren's palace is the electric tower, also called Panini Tower.

The meaning of rare people itself refers to races with rare and extremely rare ethnic groups.

It reminds all intelligent life forms in the underground world that they must be careful before contact. It is not only hostility that destroys each other.

The train started slowly.

Xue Ming saw that the resplendent mansion was getting farther and farther away, and asked again, "Ah Xing, what country's currency did you use to buy things in that city? It didn't say that in the diary."

Bu Meteor's eyes lit up: "In the underground world, people use pyroxene to do business. Nine Realms Station will occasionally issue some blood butterfly shopping coupons, most of which are used to exchange for panacea. If necessary, the boss should We will pay us—pyroxene is a clean energy source in the underground world, and our car can drive so fast, and it uses this energy source."

Originally, Jiang Xueming was lucky enough to ask someone to get the panacea from that rare market, but now this childish idea is gone.

On the radio, a sweet female voice came out again.

"Passengers, the train has departed."

"The next stop, District 71, temporary junction number: SW——Mr. Jiang Xueming and Mr. Bu Liuxing in the fifteenth carriage, please wait for forty minutes before getting off."

"The train will pass through the twilight pass. During this period, there will be a natural phenomenon of day and night. Passengers who arrive at the twilight pass for the first time should not panic."

"Patients with albinism are asked to pull down the windows in advance to avoid being exposed to direct sunlight. If you have allergic symptoms, please go to the connecting point of the carriage, and the flight attendant will contact the doctor for you."

"Thank you for taking this train and wish you a pleasant journey."

"Alternating day and night?" Jiang Xueming didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

A Xing then said: "I don't know either, it wasn't written in the little book. I was walking around the station before, and I heard people say that it seems to be a strange phenomenon that just appeared recently."

The angle of inclination outside the car window is getting higher and higher. Like climbing a hill.

After a while, within a few minutes, the entire car window lit up.

"What's the situation?" Jiang Xueming looked out the window. The train had already rushed out of the magma lake, as if it had rushed out of a cliff pass.

The roar of the train echoed across the vast plain, and the originally pitch-black dome turned into a vast expanse of white clouds.

In the dry and cold air, the gust of wind rushed into the carriage like a knife, blowing Xue Ming's cheek sorely.

"Wow! It's dawn?!" Bu Liuxing was dumbfounded, looking at the clouds and fog in the "sky".

In just a minute, a huge fireball slowly floated in the sky. It is like the sun, illuminating this endless plain.

"What is that?" Jiang Xueming didn't think it was a real sun, because it was a bit ridiculously big.

Using an arm for comparison, the big orange fireball in the sky is almost the size of a fist.

"I don't know." Bu Liuxing replied casually, "What's the matter? Did you bring your mobile phone, Brother Ming? Can you take a photo for Baidu?"

Just as Jiang Xueming was about to take out his phone to take a picture, the lens was burned out by the warm light source from this strange and inexplicable sun.

He didn't say anything, he just let it go resentfully.

He asked Bu Meteor.

"A Xing, why don't you take pictures?"

Ah Xing clapped his hands: "My phone is also burned. I thought it was an accident, so I want you to try it."

"You know that the lens will burn and you let me shoot?" Jiang Xueming felt that the guy in front of him was really unreasonable.

Ah Xing's eyes were full of innocence: "Isn't it just a test?"

"You!" Xue Ming gritted his teeth, seeing Ah Xing's sincere and innocent expression, he didn't say anything in the end.

Now the top entertainer fumbled from his huge backpack again, and took out two new mobile phones.

"Come on! Brother Ming! Use it first, and I will pay you back."

Jiang Xueming was stunned when he saw the new mobile phone pushed on the table: "Huh?"

Where is the annoyed look on Ah Xing's face just now, there is a smile full of energy.

"I take several mobile phones with me when I travel far! When I was climbing a mountain and skydiving, I only had one mobile phone. What if it breaks down?"

Jiang Xueming wanted to interrupt: "But."

But he kept playing.

Ah Xing murmured: "Don't be a fool."

Jiang Xueming wanted to interrupt: "But...why is it a couple model?"

"Oh! It was me and my security officer one by one." Ah Xing didn't care much about this, and his expression was ordinary: "The security officer said that the GPS navigation with this thing is better than the three-defense military mobile phone pairing performance. , his wife had one of them, and he could find it everywhere. Later, I bought this specifically.”

"I understand the truth." Xueming asked again: "Why did you give me the pink one?"

Ah Xing narrowed his eyes and grinned and said, "Do you care?"

Xueming had no expression on his face, but he could clearly feel it.

The air around the man was getting colder.

Sometimes, the thought of murder cannot be hidden in the eyes.

Ah Xing immediately smiled and pushed another navy blue mobile phone over: "Hey! Just kidding! I use the pink one! My shirt is also pink! I just like pink."

Jiang Xueming changed the SIM card calmly, turned on the phone function, and sure enough, he could find the location of Ah Xing at any time, and the positioning was very accurate, and he could export a map with centimeter-level accuracy—he was thinking of such an accurate navigation to solve the problem. Is there something wrong with the emotional catching issue?

But soon he was relieved, because this mobile phone is very easy to use, and its functions are much better than his old mobile phone.

Xueming: "Thank you."

"You're welcome! Hey!~" Bu Liuxing's expression was very exaggerated, super happy.

Xue Ming asked again: "I will pay it back later, what do you want to buy? Go to Xiren's palace, if I have a chance, how about I treat you to dinner?"

"Where are you going? I don't like to eat." Bu Liuxing lowered his waist, which made the two of them equal in height and talked on the same plane, "How about this?! Brother Ming!"

He told Jiang Xueming in a serious manner.

"I don't want anything else, I just want to see if there are any girls from the astral world, ultra-ancient races in the rare people's market. I want to sleep with them."

Jiang Xueming: "What?"

"I want to sleep with intelligent life forms of other races." Bu Liuxing said solemnly: "I think this is the ultimate dream of every human being. What do you think?"

Jiang Xueming's hand speed was extremely fast, and the card reader was ineffective, and he immediately replaced the original old mobile phone.

He thinks that a broken camera does not affect the use.

Immediately afterwards, with an elegant and timeless gesture, he pushed Ah Xing's gift back.

"Sorry, I took the offense."
