Volume 1 Survival Chapter 5 Miscalculation
I took a few sips of water and handed the teapot to the business man in the back:
"Come, drink saliva to suppress the shock, give the glasses after drinking, and eat some peanuts when you are hungry."
Then leaning on the wall of the carriage next to him, he peeled two peanuts and threw them into his mouth, and began to chat with the middle-aged fat man.
During the conversation, he learned that the middle-aged fat man's name was Sun Shouye, and he had worked on the train for almost 20 years, and this job could be regarded as a grandfather's inheritance in his opinion.
Sun Shouye's grandfather was a boilermaker on a steam-powered train, who used a shovel to add coal, and after a few years of burning, all the steam trains were eliminated and became internal combustion.
Then his grandfather transformed into a hot water worker in the boiler room of the train, supplying the whole train with hot water for drinking, carrying the kettle from the front to the rear of the train and back again.
Later, Sun Shouye's father continued to inherit his father's business and took over his grandfather's class, because Sun Shouye's father was not in good health, and when Sun Shouye had just graduated from junior college, he directly applied to the unit to let his son take over, so Sun Shouye took over his father's class.
However, when Sun Shouye took over, the train had already been updated, and the supporting measures of the carriages were also updated, and each carriage had a separate electric water heater.
Nian Zai is the child of an old employee, the best youth of the two generations of the old grandson family are dedicated to this train, and now the child is coming to take over, and the station will be more cared for, so that he is responsible for inspecting whether the various equipment on the train, including the water heater, is running normally.
Because it's an errand, I often run to the cab to take a lazy nap, and it's normal to often carry some peanuts and melon seeds in my pocket.
The glasses are called Wang Dongru, a science and engineering man, who has already studied for a doctorate, and this trip is to return to the school for graduation defense.
The business man's name is Feng Yuan, a salesman of a financial company, this time it is a unit welfare travel abroad, you can bring a family member, the unit has a business car to pull to the airport, but the unit stipulates that you can take a family member for free, but the girlfriend is not counted, and the married person is counted as a family member.
His girlfriend's home is in another place, and her household registration book is in her hometown. The two of them originally planned to get married next year, so they simply waited for a day for the family to send the household registration book and thought about going to get the marriage certificate first, which delayed the unit's unified car.
The two hurriedly completed the permit and bought a ticket to chase the large army, and the calculated time was enough to catch up with the large army of the unit and go to the airport together, never thought that this kind of thing would happen on the train.
I was quite disgusted with him in my heart, and I wanted to ridicule him and say that he was greedy for small gains and suffered big losses, but at this time, although he had harmed his wife to live alone, he should not feel good in his heart, so he didn't sprinkle salt on his wounds, patted him on the shoulder and comforted:
"Since it has happened, let's find a way to get out of danger first."
"That's pretty much it, are you going to park now?"
The conductor's words made our emotions tense again.
I quickly put down the glass of water that I had just picked up:
"Okay, everyone, cheer up, get some tools, and get ready to get out of the car to rescue the survivors."
There are two doors under the dashboard of the cab that can be opened, and some sundries will be placed inside, Sun Shouye opened the small door on the right, and pulled out a sapper shovel about one meter long from it, showing off:
"This is what my grandfather used to use when he burned the boiler, and the one he used at the earliest was too big, and then he was specially equipped with this thing at the station, and it was abandoned for so many years, but I didn't expect it to come in handy again."
He took out a kilogram wrench nearly a meter long from it and handed it to me:
"Oh, you use this, this is used to screw the boiler before, it is very resistant, and there is nothing else."
I took it and weighed it, and it was really quite sufficient, and I squatted down on the ground, opened the small door on the left side of the dashboard, and flipped over.
There are only a few screwdrivers left here, so I took out three slightly longer screwdrivers and gave one to Feng Yuan and Wang Dongru:
"You two just take it for self-defense, just protect yourself."
The other one is placed on the driver's platform:
"Conductor, you take one too, and you will follow us in a while to protect yourself."
After the distribution was completed, the train slowly stopped.
I picked up the microphone:
"The train is stopped now, if there are survivors, on the premise of ensuring safety, find a place with transparent glass windows to wait, I will patrol and find a way to rescue you, if there are no windows around, please knock on the body regularly, let us find your location for easy rescue."
After saying that, I opened the door of the cab, got off the train, and followed the train to start looking at each carriage by carriage.
The first half of the carriage to the dining car, sure enough, no one was spared.
Continuing to walk back, to the place where I started to be in the carriage, Feng Yuan walked to the side of the carriage and looked through the window, his girlfriend, no, it was his wife, with a hideous face bared her teeth out of the window, as if she was complaining to him about something.
Feng Yuan stood there motionless in a daze, but it seemed that his eyes were not on his wife, I saw that he was stunned, so I walked over and pulled him:
"Feng Yuan, it's all over, look ahead, let's go."
After checking a few carriages in turn, it was still the same.
As soon as I walked to the smoking room between the two carriages, I heard the sound of someone jumping out of the ground on the opposite side of the car, so I quickly got down and looked at the opposite side.
One, two, three, three people jumped out, and I couldn't help but clench the kilogram wrench in my hand and asked tentatively:
"Is there a survivor on the other side? I'm on the other side, squatting down and saying a word if yes. ”
On the opposite side of the two legs wearing blue-gray pants, one stepped back, the other knelt down on one knee, supported the ground with both hands, and a middle-aged man who looked like an old cadre slowly tilted his head.
A few strands of long hair that had covered the top of his shiny head fell to the ground, and he looked at me expressionlessly, and his voice was a little hoarse:
"You're the one who shouted the radio, there are three of us here, and you don't need to look at the back four carriages, it's all over."
"Okay, we're all coming out of the smoking room, there are some trees around, you find some branches, plug the windows in case they come out, and then let's gather in the front cab, I'll go to the front and block the other window."
"Okay, see you at the front of the car."
With that, we stood up and walked all the way back.
Although there are no people near the railway, there are still some trees scattered near the tracks, and there are no tools to cut down trees, so they can only collect relatively thin forks, jump up and grab the branches, pull them down, and break the branches together and bundle them.
It is said to be a bundle, but in fact, it is wrapped around the arm, which can almost be stuffed into the window, and then it can be tightened, so as not to run out of the mutants inside and become a hidden danger.
After a few minutes, I grabbed the whole bundle of branches and stuffed them against the window, but a fork stuck in the window couldn't get in.
Seeing this, the conductor first stood on tiptoe, but took the screwdriver and slammed it a few times, but it didn't have any effect at all, so he simply threw away the screwdriver and climbed up the window with one hand.
I saw him pedaling on the groove in the lower half of the carriage, one arm in the window, and the other hand to help me break off the difficult branch, the moment the branch was broken, the conductor suddenly shouted in pain!
At the moment of shouting, his entire upper body was pulled into the car window!
Broken!
There's a monster in this smoking room!
In a hurry, Sun Shouye hurriedly grabbed the conductor's legs and dragged them back, and without pulling twice, he sat on the ground with his butt in his hand, still holding one of the conductor's shoes in his hand.
The conductor was pulled in!
The screaming stopped abruptly, and the sound came from the window like a pig in a pigsty eating in a trough, and thinking of the scene he had seen in the carriage before, the conductor must have been saved.
I hurriedly threw down some of the branches, stuffed the other branches into the window and hugged them tightly, and shouted to the stunned Feng Yuan and Wang Dongru:
"Hurry up and stuff the remaining branches inside, stuff them tightly!"
Sun Shouye got up and grabbed the branches and stuffed them in, Feng Yuan and Wang Dongru also helped to stuff them, and all the branches were stuffed in, but they were still a little loose and not tight enough.
At this time, Sun Shouye was already anxious, quickly turned around and ran to the nearest tree, jumped suddenly, grabbed a branch with the thickness of a small arm, pulled it violently, dragged it down, and ran to me with his arms.
I saw him lift up the branch like a small tree, and shove it into the window, and then push it in.
With each thrust of the thick branches, the whole bundle was also brought in partially, and the tighter and tighter it became, until we could no longer stop the effort together, and we did not let go of our hands.
Sun Shouye sat down, his eyes were red:
"If I had pulled him earlier, he wouldn't have died."
"It's me who was careless, don't blame yourself, if you separate the branches, he won't climb up to help, and he will mutate if he is bitten and pulled down, I don't blame you for this, it's because I was careless and not thoughtful."
I comforted Sun Shouye not to continue to blame myself, but my heart was full of guilt.
"Brother, you risked your life to save the two of us, you have done everything you can do, no one would have thought that those beasts happened to stay in the smoking room, if we stuffed the branches later, the monster might run out and bite people, and the consequences would be even more unimaginable, so don't blame yourself too much."
Seeing this, Wang Dongru began to comfort me.
After listening to his words, my guilt did not ease much, and at the same time, I was muttering in my heart.
What did this brute come about?
But the person is gone, there is no time to think about it, first save the person who is still alive, I patted the soil on my body, and reached out to pull Sun Shouye:
"Let's not talk about the irretrievable things, let's go to the front of the car to meet the three of them first, and then discuss it in the long run."
The group stood up and was about to continue walking, when there was a dull crashing sound from the thick glass of the carriage.
"Bang!"
A monster in the carriage slammed into the glass.
"Bang!"
There was another one, and a few of us were standing outside the window, apparently the monster in the carriage that could see us was starting to go crazy.
Several people looked at the monster on the other side of the glass, and the expressions on their faces slowly froze.
I saw two monsters biting the glass with their teeth bared, their gums and lips looking worn out, and they were still biting and rubbing.
Wang Dongru simply lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again.
Seeing these painless and gradually crazy monsters, I thought to myself, fortunately, the glass of the train compartment is very strong, and the monster on the other side should not break the glass and run out when it rushes over.
But this place should not stay for a long time, you must leave quickly, thinking of this I said:
"Let's go, the longer you stay here, the more dangerous it becomes."
After speaking, he walked briskly in the direction of the front of the train, thinking about the living corpse that pulled the conductor closer to the smoking room, the doors on both sides were closed, how did he get in, if it was just a skill, and the door was opened by chance, then the tempered glass of these windows ......
The tempered glass that was removed before looked very thick, with a length of more than 50 centimeters, but a width of only about 30 centimeters, which was quite strong when weighed.
But the glass of this carriage is at least one meter and five meters long, and it is about one meter wide......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but urge everyone to speed up their pace.
