Chapter 8 Beihai City
After carefully searching the ruins around him, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai, you should have successfully escaped, right?"
Thinking like this, the muscles on his face that had been tense from worry also relaxed slightly, but then, his face suddenly changed again, as if he remembered something important, and hurriedly looked at the watch on his wrist.
"22:15."
And Xiaobai once said that there will be a train to land at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The delicate mechanical dial on the wrist displays the time with incredible accuracy, and as the seconds hand slowly turns, the hollow wheels on the dial work hard all the time, giving it a subtle modern mechanical feel. And the small string of English letters directly above also suggests that it is valuable.
“longines"。
Su Mo naturally couldn't afford this watch, it was a birthday gift given to him by Sister Orange when he was twenty years old.
Thinking of that stunning but full of aura, the corners of Su Mo's mouth couldn't help but hook up a touch of arc.
This time I went to Beihai City to find Sister Orange, but on the other hand, Su Mo also wanted to find a job in Beihai City and planned to settle there.
However, now that it was less than five hours before the departure time of the deep-sea train, Su Mo had to rush over, after all, staying here for a while might be in danger of his life.
Thinking of this, Su Mo also relied on his memory to return to the direction of the station, along the way, he was extremely cautious, vigilant everywhere, no matter what creatures were in front of him, he avoided it far away and made a detour.
But by the time he arrived at the station, five hours had already passed. As he raced towards the train door, he looked at the watch on his left wrist from time to time, and when he realized that the train was about to start with five minutes left, he picked up speed again.
However, when he was exhausted, he finally ran to the car door, and when he tried to jump up, a figure blocked his way.
It was a fishman who looked extremely thin, it was only about one meter six five tall, and in front of Su Mo, who was one meter eight and five, it was like a weak child. But it was such a thin fish-man, when Su Mo suddenly bumped into it, it didn't move at all, but Su Mo covered his head in pain and squatted on the ground for a while.
"Tickets."
The skinny fishman said with a blank face, like a robot executing orders.
As these two words came out, Su Mo's back immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he stood there dumbfounded, speechless for a while. "Do you still want a ticket?"
Eventually, he asked tentatively, with a slight pleading on his face.
But the fish-man in front of him didn't mean to answer at all.
This time Su Mo is in a hurry, there is no ticket, do you want to stay here all the time? Thinking of this, he involuntarily clenched his fists, almost wanting to break through. But when he thought about how it felt like he had hit a steel wall when he bumped into the fish-man just now, he immediately restrained the urge.
At this time, it was less than a minute before the train departed.
Su Mo had no choice but to stare at the thin fishman at this time, and the skinny fishman stood there like a sculpture without even blinking his eyes.
"Fifty seconds."
"Forty seconds."
"Thirty seconds."
Looking at the second hand on his left wrist that was slowly turning, Su Mo's heart was about to reach his throat, at this moment, how he wished that time could stop.
"No matter what, you have to fight for anything!"
Thinking of this, he raised his foot and kicked towards the thin fishman, but the skinny fishman didn't look at it at all, and still stood there motionless, which was a contempt for Su Mo**.
"Bump" With Su Mo's lifting of his foot, it seemed that something fell from him, followed by a "bump", and this kick kicked heavily on the chest of the thin fishman.
"Squeak" was accompanied by the sound of bone misalignment, and a sharp pain immediately spread from the tip of his toe to Su Mo's mind, Su Mo only felt that his right foot seemed to be kicked on a steel plate, and the severe pain made his right foot fall softly like a deflated leather ball.
The skinny fishman didn't have anything to do, but he leaned down and picked up what Su Mo had dropped on the ground just now, it was a delicate piece of jade, and there was already a dense layer of cracks on its surface, as if it would shatter at any time. But even so, the big characters on the front can still be distinguished.
"White."
After the thin fishman picked up the jade slip, he looked at Su Mo suspiciously, but he didn't say anything, and after returning the jade slip to Su Mo, it waved his hand and motioned for Su Mo to get into the car.
In the end, Su Mo still stepped on this train to the human city before the train started.
This train is like the most mysterious existence in the deep sea, and after giving Su Mo a long, long nightmare, it brought him back to reality from the dream.
Five hours later, in the abandoned railway station in Beihai City, Su Mo slowly walked out.
At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and standing in the railway station square, you could see the bustling city in the distance. After a night of hustle and bustle, Beihai City began a busy day. The city is lit up by the rising sun, the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the high-rise buildings reflect the dazzling sunlight, and the continuous overpasses surround the entire city, like layers of silk wrapped around the woman's waist. The office workers ate a simple breakfast in their hands and hurried to the subway station, and then they were overwhelmed by the black pressure of people. The whistle that had been silent all night also began to bustle one after another, and on the streets and overpasses, dense cars moved forward like black ants.
Su Mo looked at all this in front of him, silently lit a cigarette, but his eyes were involuntarily wet, he was really scared.
After a long time, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket tremblingly and dialed a call.
"Sister, I'm here."
"Where? I'll pick you up right away. ”
A slightly hoarse female voice came from the other end of the phone, her voice was so magnetic and charming, Su Mo's originally tense body instantly relaxed when she heard this voice.
"Dinghai District, Old East Railway Station."
Hanging up the phone, Su Mo waited anxiously, he looked at the watch in his hand from time to time and calculated the time, as anxious as seeing his mother-in-law.
After a while, the roar of the motor gradually came from afar, and a blue Porsche sports car rushed towards the railway station square as fast as lightning, and it flicked its tail arrogantly and stopped steadily in front of Su Mo.
Su Mo not only didn't complain that the sports car might hit him, but ran over with a fart.
The obsidian-like shining car window slowly opened, a cold face with sunglasses poked out, and a puff of cigarette slowly came out of the bewitching red lips, and then the teeth moved slightly, and said slowly:
"Momo, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss your sister?"
