Chapter 41 Subway Cry(1/2)

[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]

The background of the world characters this time is very simple.

Thirty years old, orphan, a woman living alone.

After graduating from college, I came to this company as a clerk. Before I was dismissed, I was the assistant to the director. The reason for being dismissed was that the market was in a downturn and the staff needed to be reduced.

She was not very good at work and became the first group of employees to be fired.

But You Xi understood that this type of company said that the market was in a downturn and that it was necessary to reduce its staff. In fact, it was because she worked in the company for many years and her salary and benefits had accumulated accumulative increase. The same work content was far less cost-effective than hiring a newly graduated college student.

But even if you know, there is nothing to argue. The character in this world has a soft mind. He believes that he is average in his work ability and is not surprised to be fired. He just suddenly lost his job when he is thirty years old. He feels confused.

The tide and fishy smell she smelled in the air just now was not an illusion, it was a very developed harbor city.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the other side. Because the mountains block the cold air in the north, the temperature is very suitable all year round. It is not cold in winter and not hot in summer.

It’s winter now, and the daytime temperature is around fifteen or sixteen degrees Celsius.

The world's development level is slower than the native world, and it is still the era of paper money and credit cards.

The waiter's action of handing over the menu interrupted her thoughts. You Xi casually ordered a hot latte. The other party smiled, collected the menu, and put down a glass of water for her.

Everything around her looks normal. People in the world used to go online every day and had never seen anything wrong, so she couldn't see what kind of apocalypse would be.

If you are near the sea, a tsunami? It is impossible, and the chance of recurring the end of the world is very small.

There are mountains, volcanoes? It shouldn't be.

earthquake?

The earthquake should not be considered a medium-level end of the world, not to mention that there is a word "fusion" in the end of the world.

This is her experience, which means that this end of the world is a fusion of fragments of two worlds.

There is no problem with all the settings and backgrounds at present, so You Xi decided to go back to her residence first.

After leaving the cafe, she went to a public bathroom in the nearby green park. It was two or three o'clock on weekdays, with few passers-by on the street and no one in the bathroom.

She went into the toilet compartment, poured all the things in her file bag except for her wallet, cell phone and key into the cardboard box, and then stuffed the cumbersome cardboard box into the Star House warehouse.

The house rented by the world figure is about fifteen or six kilometers away. Currently, there are still 47 hours left before the end of the world. She is not in a hurry to rush back, so she does not plan to take the rent. She plans to take the subway as the world figures usually go to and from get off work, in order to observe the surrounding environment.

This is a large city called Hairucheng. Because it is a port city, it is a relatively developed city in the entire country. The subway was built very early and there are many undersea tunnels.

But because most subways were built early, the subway stations looked very old, some escalators were small, and the internal lighting was a bit dim and dim, and the overall sense was not good.

People from the world need to go home through two undersea tunnels, one of which is 23 kilometers long and the other is even longer, 41 kilometers long. It is the longest undersea tunnel in the entire Hairucheng.

After crossing the sea, I had to transfer to the subway, and finally I had to walk one or two kilometers.

There are not many people waiting for the subway at this time, and there are also spaces on the subway. You Xi found a seat next to the railing and sat down. His eyes swept across the route map inside the subway. New lines and old lines, crisscrossing subway lines are densely packed like spider webs, and even several undersea tunnels are interlaced.

The interior of the subway is also very old, and the seats and railings have been used for a long time at first glance.

After passing several stations, there were a little more people on the subway. You Xi checked the route and found that after leaving this station, you would enter the first undersea tunnel, with a total length of 41 kilometers.

Before the subway door was about to close, someone rushed in faster. The man was tall and long legs. Seeing that the door was about to close, he even stopped and stepped into the carriage two steps. The subway door was almost closed against his back.

In the shocked and suspicious eyes of others, the other party just lowered his head and found a corner seat without saying a word.

You Xi took a look and then withdrew her gaze, but soon, she felt a gaze that was fixed on her when she had just retracted her gaze.

She looked sideways, and the man who had just come in close to the subway door was indeed staring at her. The other party was wearing a baseball cap, and the lowered brim blocked his eyebrows and left a reflection on his nose.

She couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but even so, she knew that the other person was staring at her.

She doesn't know the other person, or the world's figures don't know the other person.

In the memory of the world's characters, her interpersonal relationships are very monotonous, and she has few friends every day.

What's more, if the other party is really the person in the memory of the world's characters, then the other party will appear, and some pictures and information about the other party should appear in his mind.

But nothing.

When You Xi was confused, she suddenly heard a strange sound in her ear. Before she could tell what it was, the subway, which was originally running at constant speed, suddenly vibrated. The strange sound suddenly amplified instantly, a squeaking and rubbing sound, and she could even hear the sound of sparks.

The whole person in the subway was inertia due to sudden sudden brakes, because most people were sitting, avoiding falling, but they could not avoid hitting others. Some people were drinking with drinks, some were using headphones to videos with others, and some were watching computers. For a moment, everyone was flipping all the things in their hands.

Drinks spilled on others, mobile phones fell to the ground, and computers hit others' feet... The entire subway car was in chaos.

When a girl next to You Xi rushed towards her, she was very clear-headed and almost held the other person. At the same time, her eyes were slightly raised and she found that the man with the baseball cap diagonally responded very quickly.

He had already stood up from his position and held the railing with one hand against the carriage.

Because of the angle, this time she saw the other person's face clearly. A young man in his twenties had a pretty and delicate face with dark pupils, but she was sure that she had never seen the other person.

The subway stopped, and the people in the car looked at each other and started complaining, not understanding why the car was parked suddenly.

Soon, the radio on the subway rang, and it was the sound of the driver in front of him.

He told everyone not to panic. There was a small problem with the track ahead, so he had to stop here for the time being, indicating that the relevant personnel on the platform had already known the situation here and would come here immediately.

"Small questions? What small questions require parking?"

"This is an undersea tunnel! Could it be that there is something wrong with the tunnel, right?"

"Oh, someone has reported it many times earlier, saying that this tunnel has been too long and has been disrepaired for a long time, and it has not stopped maintaining the line. Sooner or later, there will be problems--"

I don’t know if it was to respond to this sentence, but suddenly there was a crackling sound above their heads.

The sound was dull, but when it sounded at this time, it made people feel numb from the scalp, and almost everyone knew what it was.

"Bang--" With the sound of the first heavy object falling, the people in the car quickly panicked and rushed to the corner of the car that was far away from the sound, but there was obviously more than one crack on the top, and the sound of heavy objects falling became dense.

You Xi frowned and looked at the top. The world's characters had an understanding of this undersea tunnel in their memory. The tunnel was built with the immersed tube method in the early days. The prevention measures were done well at that time, but so many years have passed. If there is really a problem... but it is unlikely. It will take 47 hours before the end of the world. How could it be so early?

The movement of the carriage was planned to be You Xi's thoughts. Perhaps another co-driver at the rear of the car was notified that he was starting the subway again and intending to return to the platform at the other end of the tunnel.

But before everyone was holding their hearts, a huge sound suddenly came from the top of the car. With a heavy blow, a piece of the entire roof was sunken.

There was a crunchy sound that made people feel terribly mixed with the dull sound of concrete blocks falling, one after another, and the just-driving subway was stuck and forced to stop.

Almost everyone shouted in horror, and the radio in the car rang again, and the voice of another co-pilot driver made everyone evacuate to the rear of the car in an orderly manner, and said that the rescuers were coming quickly so that everyone would not panic.

Having said that, how could everyone not panic? This was a collapse on the bottom of the sea and above. Who knows what will happen next moment!

The ground inside the carriage was flat. You Xi took off her high heels and quickly followed the others to retreat to the back. No matter how strong her physical fitness was now, if the tunnel really collapsed, she would probably not be able to escape ascend to heaven.

The young man in the baseball cap fell half a step behind her, with his arms slightly opened, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the person behind who wanted to push.

Those who don’t know thought he was deliberately protecting her, but in fact, You Xi didn’t know the other person at all.

But when she ran for her life, she didn't have to think too much about it.

Fortunately, there was no problem with everyone evacuated. In addition, there were not many people on the bus, so soon the entire subway retreated to the last car. The co-driver followed the rescue team's instructions and opened the car door, and arranged for everyone to stand on the path next to the subway track.

You Xi knew that the road was not easy to walk, so she opened the file bag on her body and took out a pair of wrinkled leather flat shoes under the cover.

She didn't take the travel shoes, the travel shoes were too big and the file bag was not that bulging. She saw that there was a problem when she came out with the travel shoes. The flat shoes were much better, and they were soft and could be placed in the bag.

She changed into her shoes and found that the young man in the baseball cap had not got off the bus yet, and seemed to be waiting for him.

She didn't say anything, got out of the car a few steps and followed everyone.

Not long after the group walked, someone suddenly shouted at several places in front of her: "There is water! There is water! There is leaking here!"

Soon, several people around him shunned to the side.

You Xi shone the open mobile phone flashlight towards the top. It was really leaking. Although the amount of water was not large, the area was very large, and there was no crack at the top. I don’t know where the water seeped down.

She quickly dodged to the side, but because the leakage range was too large, she was inevitably dripped.

You Xi smelled the tide and fishy smell again, which was much heavier than what he smelled in the air in the afternoon, as if it was the smell of the water.

It's so strange, even the sea water shouldn't have this kind of smell...

Everyone quickly walked through the leaky area, and the lights lit up not far ahead. The passenger walking in front said in surprise: "It's the rescue team! Saved!"

What came in front was indeed the rescue team. The collapse of the undersea tunnel was a big deal, and people came very quickly.

Someone asked about the driver's situation and immediately led the way. Some people helped turn on the lights and light them in the middle of the team to check if there were any injured people. Some people took people like technicians toward the location where something happened behind them.

You Xi looked back at the people and followed the team again.

Two hours later, You Xi, who left the subway station and took a taxi and took a big circle, finally returned to the house rented by the world's figures.

Although the undersea tunnel has areas where ordinary vehicles can pass, she is still scared and does not want to walk the seabed again, so she would rather take a long way.

This accident happened so thrilling that it always made her suspect that it was the beginning of a terrible event, but the subsequent evacuation was normal and orderly.

Maybe she stayed in two end-of-life worlds, and it was obvious that safe evacuation was something that would be discovered under normal circumstances, but she always felt that it shouldn't be.

Where shouldn't it be?

The community in front of me is not new or very old. The location is not very good. It is far from the downtown area, but the rent is cheap and living alone is very quiet.

Because the character of the world's character is introverted and not likes to communicate, she would rather spend more than two hours on the road every day to and from get off work than share a house close to the company with others.

As soon as I walked into the community, all the settings related to the house jumped out of my mind.

The house is not very big, on the fourth floor, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. There is also a small balcony facing south, with no glass windows sealed.

For You Xi, it is a good thing not to share a house with others, otherwise she would have to find another place to live.
