Chapter 058: Eurostar (Part I)
Although the bus drivers in central Paris were on strike the day before yesterday, fortunately, the railway system was not affected, and everyone arrived at the Gare du Nord train station by taking the Paris Metro, and after waiting for a while, they successfully boarded the Eurostar train bound for London, England.

The Eurostar train is 400 meters long and has 20 carriages, which travel back and forth with the United Kingdom and France all year round.
Of course, if you want to take this train from Paris to London, it is also expensive, after the ticket price is converted into RMB, the first class is 3100, the first class is 2500, and the second class is 1800, which is also a little surprising for Li Le, who is used to domestic low-cost railways. Zhang Fatzi insisted on taking the first class, but the expenses along the way were indeed too much, Li Le really didn't want his old friend to spend too much money for himself, so he finally persuaded him to choose a more affordable second-class seat.
When the train stopped at the station platform, everyone smoothly pushed their luggage on the train, and I don't know if it was because of the early morning or the Europeans who liked to be quiet, and there were few people talking in the full carriage, two or three young people were playing with their mobile phones, four or five middle-aged people were yawning, and a few old men and old ladies were in a daze, looking out the window, and the whole carriage was surprisingly quiet.
With the sound of the platform's announcement, the doors of the train were closed, and after a few seconds, the train slowly accelerated, gradually leaving the Gare du Nord and heading west.
After a few minutes, the flight attendants came to hand out free breakfast, milk coffee, bread and biscuits, and choose from them. Mr. Adam asked for a cup of coffee and enjoyed it one bite at a time, while reading the European Morning Post; Zhang Fatzi came to all kinds of early, and he muttered that he had gained weight again recently, and his body was still very honest; Ah Hua is replying to the email on his mobile phone, today is the last day of his long vacation, and he still has to prepare for tomorrow's work in advance.
After getting up early in the morning and getting used to sleeping until he woke up naturally on Treasure Island, Li Le was still a little uncomfortable, leaning on the train window, squinting sleepy, and unintentionally looking at the beautiful countryside in the suburbs of France.
The morning sun was exceptionally soft, warm and comfortable, very peaceful, looking out the window, listening to the rhythmic whispering of the train, Li Le slowly and leisurely leaned against the window and fell asleep.
……
"Didu~~~Ladies ~ Gentlemen~ The train is about to enter the Channel Tunnel." With the sound of the carriage announcement, Li Le, who had been asleep for nearly an hour, also opened his eyes, and when he looked forward, he saw that the fat man had half a biscuit in his mouth, and he was still asleep.
"Ha~huh~" Li Lechang took a breath, came to a lot of energy, slowed down, and asked Adam, who was still reading the newspaper on the side, "Mr. Adam, are we in London?" He was woken up by the sound of the radio, but Li Le didn't hear what it said clearly.
"Not yet, Mr. Li Le, he is still in the port city of Calais in France, and he is about to enter the undersea tunnel."
"Oh~" Li Le responded to the sound and looked outside, only to see that there was already a green belt outside the car, and after a few seconds, the train entered the tunnel, and the entire window became a black piece, only occasionally I could see a few flashing tunnel lights.
With the turn on of the central air conditioning in the carriage, the temperature of the entire carriage gradually increased, and Li Le hurriedly took a sip of water and took off his coat.
As they entered the tunnel, the other passengers in the carriage gradually became active, young men and women, middle-aged office workers, little old men and little old ladies, chatting in twos and threes, English, French, German, and even curry-flavored Indian English and machine-gun-like Russian, various languages gradually emerged from the carriage.
"Mr. Li Le, is there an undersea tunnel in China?" Adam put away the newspaper and asked casually.
"Yes, both Xiamen and Qingdao in China have undersea tunnels, both of which have been built in recent years, and I once learned about them when I went on a business trip to these two places." Before Li Le could answer, Ah Hua on the side replied first.
"Built in the last few years? China's pace of development is really fast. Adam couldn't help but admire, "Thirty years ago, I went to the magic capital of China, at that time there was not even a subway, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, China can build its own undersea tunnel, you know, this construction difficulty, without full scientific research and technology, can not be successful." ”
As soon as he heard that Adam had been to China before he was born, Li Le was immediately interested, talking with him, asking about Chinese customs and urban construction at that time.
After chatting for about ten minutes, Li Le's mobile phone rang, and when he opened it, he saw that the international call was still from Cuba's Feng Lao.
"Feng Lao~" I haven't seen him for a few days, I miss it very much, Li Le greeted him cordially.
"Alas~ Young Master, where are you now?"
"Me? I'm under the sea now? ”
"Under the sea?!"
"In the undersea tunnel, now I'm going to London, what's wrong? Is there an accident on the island? Li Le said with concern.
"It's okay on the island, it's just that Miss Tina called."
As soon as he heard this name, Li Le's heart chuckled, "What...... What's wrong? ”
"Her female assistant just called, and was about to make an appointment for treatment, I said you went to Europe, and then ......" Feng Lao stopped talking.
"And then?" Li Le hurriedly asked.
"And then the phone hung up."
"I'll go!" Li Le felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly said a few casual words to Feng Lao, then quickly hung up the phone, found an excuse to go to the toilet, and left from Ah Hua and Adam.
After a long wait, the call was finally connected.
"Hey, is that Miss Tina?"
On the other end of the phone, in a private spa hotel at the foot of the Swiss Alps, the vegetation, sculptures, and marble floors are covered with a thick layer of snow.
According to the past, this luxurious hot spring health hotel has long been a paradise for the rich of all walks of Europe, but now, in the huge hot spring treatment pool, there is only a red-haired young woman, naked in the steaming hot spring, looking at the mobile phone screen in her hand.
“00:05”
“00:06”
“00:07”
“00:08”
As the number of seconds of the on-screen conversation increased, there was silence.
"Is Miss Tina here? I'm Li Le. Li Le's voice came from the phone again.
Tina took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and after such a long time, she finally opened her mouth.
"Say."
As soon as he heard the reply from the other side, Li Le in the toilet finally felt half distracted, and hurriedly said, "I heard that Elder Feng said that you are looking for me?" ”
"Do you remember what I said?" Tina completely ignored Li Le's words and asked.
"Remember...... Remember......" Li Le didn't understand what Tina meant for a while, so he could only reply like this.
"Then why are you still lying to me?"
"Liared to you? I never lied to you! Miss Tina! Li Le said excitedly.
"And where are you now?"
"I'm on my way to England."
"That's not it."
"Huh?" was told by Tina, Li Le didn't react at once, just thought about it and wanted to explain. Suddenly, the lights in the entire toilet were turned off, and it was pitch black, and the carriages vibrated violently, and a loud shrill sound of train brakes sounded all around.
Li Le was so frightened that he leaned on the toilet door, grabbed the toilet handle, and heard a burst of panic from the carriage through the wall.
After such a long time, the train slowly stopped, and Li Le opened his mobile phone to see that the call with Tina had already been decisive.
What he didn't know was that the mobile phone on the other end of the phone was not so lucky, with a few small air bubbles, the mobile phone gradually sank into the huge hot spring pool, and finally stopped at the bottom of the granite at the bottom of the hot spring pool.
In the huge hot spring pool, Tina has long since left, leaving only the mobile phone lying alone at the bottom of the pool.
