Chapter 449: The Subway and Rumors
"It shouldn't be an airport line either, whether it's an old airport or a new airport, it's not in this direction." Ma Lu muttered, "What did the people who designed the route think before, why did this section be designed to be so long?" ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan behind him, and said apologetically, "I didn't expect the two stations to be so far away, and I didn't bring water when I set off, if you feel thirsty and tired, you can go back first, and by the way, help me tell the people above about the situation here, and let them send a few more people down." ”
As a result, Zhang Heng shook his head when he heard this, "We won't go back if we don't find someone." ”
Ma Lu was stunned, he saw that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan just followed silently all the way, and they didn't show any eager and anxious looks during the period, and thought that they didn't have much to do with the missing two, at least they shouldn't be relatives and friends, but for some reason they had to find someone with them.
So Ma Lu thoughtfully suggested that the two of them could go back first, mainly because they had been away for so long, and there was no signal on the mobile phone below, and someone did need to contact the person above to explain the situation, so this was actually the best of both worlds, but he didn't expect Zhang Heng to refuse.
And after that, he listened to Zhang Heng continue, "I think you can go back, because you have been shouting for so long, and your voice is a little hoarse, and you need to drink some water and rest." ”
"I'm fine." Ma Lu shook his head and said, "The sooner we find those two girls who ran away, we can also feel at ease sooner." ”
After speaking, he saw that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan had no intention of leaving, so he raised his flashlight and continued to walk forward, but Zhang Heng was right, he shouted for forty minutes, and his mouth was a little dry, so he didn't call out loudly after setting off again.
The three of them walked forward in silence.
After about five minutes, Zhang Heng spoke again, "Master Ma, you have been working in the subway company for many years, how much do you know about this subway line?" ”
"It's my first time here, and I don't think anyone in the company has ever been here." Ma Lu said, "This place was stopped before it was built, so it was not delivered to the subway company at all, so I don't know anything about the length, direction, and number of platforms of this subway line, and I don't know anything about it like you, to be honest, I didn't expect this tunnel to be so long, and this section has basically been completed, and the construction materials look good, so it's a pity to abandon it like this." ”
"Well, what about the rumors?"
"What?" Ma Lu thought that he had heard Zhang Heng's words.
"I remember you mentioned it up there before, saying that there are some rumors about this place, can you tell us about it?"
"Now, you're going to listen to those rumors now?"
"Is there anything inconvenient?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Well, because most of those rumors are ridiculous, and we happen to be in this tunnel right now, and although I don't have any superstitions myself, there are some things that should be avoided."
"Well, but we don't have much to do right now when we're idle." Zhang Heng said, "Everyone should be a little tired after walking for so long, and chatting can also relieve the fatigue a little." ”
Ma Lu glanced at Fan Meinan on the side when he heard this, and found that this little girl who looked a little thin did not show any scared expression, so he nodded, "Okay, where do you want to start with it?" ”
"Let's talk about why this subway line was abandoned." Fan Meinan said.
"The official version is that because of the change in administrative planning, the subway line has become unnecessary, so it has not been built again."
"But actually?"
"No one actually knows what happened," Ma Lu said, "but when I first joined the company, I did hear some old employees say that the reason why the subway line was really abandoned was because there were no construction workers willing to work anymore, and that people began to fall ill when the construction reached almost a third of the ground, but at first everyone didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just the construction worker's own fault."
"Because the machinery and equipment at that time were not very developed, the labor intensity of the workers was also very large, and it was normal for physical problems to occur, usually it was good to recuperate for a while, but soon, a second and third people fell ill...... The people of the construction company also began to pay attention, reducing the labor intensity, paying more attention to ventilation, and replacing the cooks on the construction site, but it was useless, and more and more people still fell ill, and at this time, the diagnosis report of the first person sent to the doctor also came out.
"From the routine examination items, I could not find out what the cause was, his body functions are normal, but clinically there were indeed symptoms such as fatigue and memory loss, and even later developed to a certain cognitive impairment, not only him, but also several workers who were sent to the hospital also had similar symptoms to varying degrees, but this also ruled out the possibility of their own genetic diseases.
The diagnosis did not dispel the doubts and worries of the workers, and because the number of sick people increased, the rest of the people did not know when it would be their turn to start panicking, and finally under the leadership of several leaders, they went on strike together, and they did not want to do it any longer, and the construction company had to bring in another construction team from elsewhere to replace the striking workers, in addition to finding experts to do inspections.
"But unfortunately, the experts stayed here for two weeks, found nothing, took some earthen samples and left, but fortunately, the project can finally continue with a new batch of new people. However, the good times did not last long, and about half a month later, another worker fell ill, and the clinical symptoms were the same as those of the previous group.
"And the workers didn't know where they had learned about the previous workers, and they were so angry that the construction company had hidden the actual situation from them, so they went on strike and quit. To make matters worse, the news gradually spread among the workers, and the construction company could not find any workers willing to continue the construction, and at the same time, this incident alarmed several leaders above, and finally after research, it was decided to abandon the railway completely. "Ma Lu said.
"What about the sick workers, what happened to them?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know, there are no more rumors about them." Ma Ludao, after a pause, added, "But it is said that it was not just such a mysterious thing that happened during the construction, and before the first worker fell ill, there were actually workers missing. ”
