Chapter 103 Tracking
"Woo", accompanied by the sharp whistle, the Orient Express roared into another tunnel, and the carriage that had lost its lighting power fell into the darkness of being unable to see its fingers. In the darkness, the slight screams came faintly from the distance.
"Tread, step" sounds particularly clear. In the darkness, a sound of footsteps traveled along the long corridor of the car. The soft carpet could not hide the urgency in the heavy footsteps. The debris on both sides of the corridor could not be seen clearly in the dark space, but the owner of the footsteps cleverly avoided all obstacles with his keen touch and flexible movements. Whenever the clothes on the surface touched other objects, the body would take measures to avoid them as quickly as possible, so that even if he suddenly lost his eyesight, his hurried footsteps did not stop for a moment.
"You'd better be quiet, Sir Clint." There was only one footstep, but there was more than one voice. Not far from the footsteps, the low voice of the crow was a little gloomy by the darkness. "Your footsteps are like an elephant dancing on the tap dance. I doubt even the cockpit on the front of the car can be heard. Although we don't need to keep a strict silent action now, there is no need to tell everyone that we are running in the corridor. Don't look at the passengers in the car now, you believe it or not. Once you hear someone running outside in the dark, you will be in a mess immediately. Unless you kill a few on the spot, you can't stop it."
"I, I... I understand." Sir Clin was speechless. Among the six people present, his strength was not weak. If he was confronted head-on, he could even be considered the strongest one. But compared with the other five, he acted like an idiot. This was still in the car corridor where he was familiar with him, and he was stumbled and heavy. In contrast, the other five people were familiar with the environment as if they were back home, and they were quiet and did not make any sound. If it weren't for the crow suddenly speaking, he would have worried that the others had never moved, and that they were only moving forward.
"Woo", another whistle sounded, and the train rushed out of the darkness and returned to the light. The long-lost sunlight suddenly filled my eyes, and Sir Clin's eyes were a little sore.
"The crawling sound is gone again." After returning to light, the few people stopped. The two old mages looked around and thought, "It seems to be related to light, are they afraid of light?"
"It shows that the photophobia is really a questioning array, but there is doubt." The crow closed his eyes and heard for a while, frowned, "Big Cat."
"x, I'm a lava leopard, and I didn't hear it clearly." The female leopard grinned her teeth and made a threatening expression. "The screaming is quite far away, but it is definitely not as far as the four or five cars. I can't hear which car is specific. It depends on the structure of the train."
"Sir Clint... are you waiting for us to ask for advice?" Several pairs of eyes looked at Sir Clint at the flight crew at the same time. The two sides looked at each other for two seconds. The crow sighed and said, "What is the ventilation system of this car?"
"ah?"
"Ask you the internal structure of the ventilation system." Baron Chalinjie couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "You can't just pass a pipe to the end, and what about the connection between the cars?"
"Oh, it's very complicated. Each carriage ventilation system operates independently, but the main pipes in the corridor are connected by hoses and are usually closed. If the independent ventilation system of a carriage fails, the connection will be opened and sent through the main pipe for emergency response."
"The lighting system has stopped working, what about the ventilation system? Have you stopped working?" The crow was stunned. "Will the air supply system of the main duct be stopped?"
"Not necessarily, if the energy supply is cut off, the lighting system will stop, and the ventilation system will stop." Sir Clint finally understood the thoughts of several people and replied quickly, "But the connection of the main pipeline is powered through the power system. Its energy source is cut off, and the train stops."
"So that's it, no wonder there was a power outage." Several people looked at each other, and at the same time realized that the insects were probably hiding in a piece of luggage in the luggage compartment. The power outage was probably to open the main pipes that were isolated from each other so that the insects could be unobstructed inside. As for where they were going...
"Boom", the air current surged, the carriage slightly shook, the train entered the tunnel again, and the surroundings fell into darkness again. According to Sir Clint, the Orient Express had already entered and entered the mountainous area. In the next two or three hours, the train would frequently enter and exit the mountain tunnel frequently, and each time it traveled, it would take thirty or forty seconds at the fastest, which usually took two or three minutes. Usually, there would be lighting equipment support in the carriage, and there would be no impact, but this time the lighting equipment had all failed. Fortunately, the waiters in each carriage were trained to calm the emotions of the passengers in the box in time, so that they did not cause a large-scale commotion. But it is conceivable that if the lighting equipment was damaged for a long time, the commotion would sooner or later.
"Go." As soon as the light disappeared, a rustling sound rang again. This time the sound was farther away, and it was obviously thrown behind several people. The crow slapped the female leopard's shoulder, and the big cat understood it. The flames converged in its body, and it rushed out with its lower body. After a few ups and downs, it rushed to the entrance and exit on the other side of the corridor and disappeared behind the partition door.
"Sir Clin, you're broken." After all, the two old mages were gentlemen. They knew that Clin would never be able to keep up with their movements. They ordered considerately, "Don't worry, stop every time they enter the tunnel, and act after they regain their vision. They just help us look behind us and don't let us be attacked from both sides."
"I understand, thank you." Sir Clin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was relieved. It felt uncomfortable to be regarded as a burden. Moreover, he had to face the nightmare of childhood, such strange and mysterious creatures, should he leave it to these strange and unpredictable spies to deal with it.
"The big cat has good hearing. Let's take a look at the location of the screams first. Let's follow." In the darkness, the crow snapped his fingers and showed his position. "You must keep up with these bugs. I suspect this is a dark chess that the opponent has prepared for a long time. No matter what they want to do, just stop it directly."
"Is this what you call prophecy?" Baron Chalinjie sneered, "That's really unique."
"Ha, if you can see through it, then it's called prophecy." The crow sneered, his voice more than ten meters away. "The first prophecy is really not cockroaches. If you describe it correctly, it is indeed like the legendary flesh and blood beetles."
"Yeah? Did you see it?"
