Chapter 55: The Tunnel

Back on the subway platform, the two walked into the subway, found a seat and sat down, and the subway door creaked shut. The subway starts slowly, and its passengers plunge headlong into the endless darkness.

Unlike ordinary subways, this subway belonging to the Nibelungen only has a dim oil lamp, which seems to be officially provided for lonely people to practice card skills. The oil lamp barely illuminates the middle of the carriage. Li Su and Qin Nai silently stared at the small flickering flame of the oil lamp, without saying a word.

The carriage fell silent. The sound of the subway running is not deafening, but it is definitely impossible to ignore. However, under the regulation of the human autonomic nerves, the auditory nerve, which is responsible for low-frequency noise, is suppressed, and the monotonous sound of clanging gradually moves away and becomes indistinct, like a fish in the water hearing the sound of a boat, and the shallow breathing sound is actually obvious compared to it.

The two didn't stay in a daze for long. The power of the machine far exceeds that of a human's carbon-based body, and it only takes three minutes for the subway to travel between subway stations. The subway stopped at Fushouling Station again, and the two walked off the subway, and after the subway opened, they actually stopped there, and it seemed that they had finally exhausted their physical strength and stopped moving.

The incandescent lamp that originally hung on the top of Fushouling Station has been extinguished, and the sickle that acts as a dealer has turned to dust, and Li Su led Kotono to jump onto the railroad tracks and removed the flashlight from his belt. "Let's go."

The flashlight made the two of them walk much brisker, and they didn't go far before there was a fork in the road. A large arc has been turned from the fork in the road, which looks like a "light bulb line" that allows the subway to change tracks. The two did not turn a corner and continued to walk along the straight. He hadn't gone far before he heard the sound of vague footsteps coming from ahead.

The light of the flashlight illuminated the man through the long space, and he looked back at the light source and blocked it slightly with his hand.

"Hey!" Li Su flashed his light to say hello, and Lu Mingfei stopped and waited for them.

"Why are you here?" He sounded a little happy, at least he didn't have to walk the tunnel in the dark.

"The subway stopped at Fushouling Station, and we walked along the tunnel." Li Su and Qin Nai quickened their pace and trotted close to Lu Mingfei. The team of two expanded to three people, which was still a little small compared to the wide tunnel.

"Where's the dealer?" Li Su asked.

"I won a thousand chips and it was ...... Smash...... Crumbled into powder. Lu Mingfei paused for a moment to raise adjectives, a thing that was still moving one second ago collapsed into a fine sand in front of him the next second, this is really not a scene to describe.

"So this is what Gao Mi said about 'the basic rules of alchemy'? Don't disobey or something? ”

"I guess so." Lu Mingfei was also a little unsure, last semester his 'alchemy elementary' failed the course, if it wasn't for the principal's note, he would have to bring that thick textbook as heavy as a brick when he came to Beijing.

Li Su looked back at Kotono, who shrugged her shoulders. "I'm a freshman this year, and I was dragged over to slay the dragon before I started class for two weeks."

"Okay."

After walking for a long time, the light column of the flashlight illuminated the next platform, and on the wall opposite the platform, there were several lines of large red painted letters: "Takai Station", "1977" and "100".

"What does 100 mean?" Lu Mingfei stroked the big characters on the wall, and the wall skin peeled off with his movements.

"The number of the station." Li Su raised a flashlight to illuminate the roof of the tunnel that was slowly dripping. It's dilapidated and lifeless, and there aren't even spiders that come to build webs.

"The apple orchard is 103, and Fushouling is 102, but unfortunately we didn't see the label. Takai Station was supposed to be 101. Since the '100' is displayed, it seems that this section of the tunnel is the real 'warp point'. ”

"That'...... The dragon king in front? Lu Mingfei was frightened by his speculation.

"Not sure." Li Su pointed the snow-white pillar of light at the pitch-black tunnel again and took a step. "According to the design, there should be 'Black Stone Station' and 'Sanjiadian Station' in the back, I don't know if the Dragon King has copied these two platforms."

"That's a big deal! Dragons are such a bunch of stinking guys. Lu Mingfei sighed after listening to Li Su's speculation.

"Anyway, the entire Line 1 has been copied, and it is not difficult to think of two more platforms."

"Li Jun, how do you know this?" Kotono asked.

"Look it up on the Internet." Li Su said. "When I heard the name, I thought he would stay underground, so I searched for the legend about the subway, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Oh."

The three of them chatted as they walked, and soon passed by the "Black Stone Station" marked 99 and the "Sanjiadian Station" marked 98. The further back the station became, the closer it was to a military facility, the platform that was originally only four meters doubled, and the space that was originally two meters high expanded to five or six meters.

However, the "Sanjiadian Station" recorded on the Internet is not the end, as if the endless railroad tracks still connect with endless darkness.

The trio had no choice but to continue along the tracks.

"I didn't expect it to be true." After being quiet for a long time, Li Su suddenly spoke.

"What?"

"At the end of the post, it said that Line 1 could go directly to the Xishan Military Base, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"So what's it like inside? Tanks one after another? ”

"And that's not all. There are also airplanes, and there are even airports that can be opened to let planes fly out directly. ”

"So powerful? Is this something that people can do? Lu Mingfei admired again.

"No way, there is a need. Relations between the Soviet Union and China were so tense after the Zhenbao Island conflict that the Soviet Union even wanted to use a plan called a 'surgical nuclear strike'. ”

"What do you mean?" Kotono was also intrigued by the term.

"Use a nuclear bomb." Li Su made a gesture to clean up the table. "At the same time, blow up China's already exposed nuclear facilities and all major cities."

"Holy!" Lu Mingfei was frightened by this heart-wrenching plan. "Can you do it?"

"Of course. Lao Maozi has the world's largest nuclear bomb reserves. ”

"Since we can still stand here and brag...... Does that mean the plan is invalid? Maozi has such a good heart? Lu Mingfei touched his whole body, as if he wanted to test whether he existed.

"Of course not." Li Su shook his head. "Maozi is not Maozi if he has such a good heart. They first revealed to the American side the intention of a nuclear strike, and at the same time demanded that the United States remain neutral. However, the United States believes that in the face of nuclear radiation, they cannot watch the fire from the other side of the strait by staying away from the battlefield as they do in the face of traditional weapons, so they stabbed the news to China through a tabloid. ”

"And then?"

"The Chinese side believed this information, and the original direction of discussion was 'fighting while building and fighting with a nuclear bomb', until No. 1 came up with a new idea."

"Number one? Oh. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Li Su meant.

"Number one?" Kotono also knew that it was referring to someone, but she didn't know who it was.

"You can't say it, you can't say it." Li Su shook his head incomprehensibly. "In short, No. 1 put forward a new idea, and everyone was shocked as soon as the words came out."

"So what's it?"

"There are two ways to think about it. First of all, put all the armies on the border line, and once the war starts, it will go directly to the depths. As for the fact that the land that had been attacked by the nuclear bomb was uninhabitable, the idea of the First was that the people in the rear of the army would move in directly to become neighbors with the locals every time they laid down the territory. No matter how mad Maozi is, it is impossible to blow up his own people, as long as he eats enough territory before the electromagnetic interference disappears, Maozi can see clearly. As for the other side," Li Su waved his hand vigorously. "Drop all the nuclear bombs on Japan!"

"What's the matter with us?" Kotono, who had been listening to the story silently, was dumbfounded.

"Blow up all the U.S. military bases and airfields to prevent the Americans from picking up leaks."

“...... I... Rely on ......." Qin Nai held back for a long time, and only held back this swear word.

"In short, the United States is completely panicked. Once the fight started, it was definitely the third world war, so he and China stood together and severely reprimanded Maozi, and the two sides finally forced Maozi back after completely standing in line, and the conflict between the missiles that had been deployed in the silo was over. ”

The two who listened to the story were silent for a long time, both shocked by the conflict that almost buried the world forty years ago. The story is so scary that if you close your eyes, you can see mushroom clouds rising above the earth's surface.

"It seems to have arrived." It was Li Su who broke the silence. The top of the tunnel ahead suddenly vanished, leaving only a palpitating darkness.
