Chapter 163: The Beginning of the Tragedy
From beginning to end, Zhou Yu didn't ask Lao Yu who his surname was. He had a hunch that it would be very dangerous to ask this question, and since people were deliberately hiding it in front of people, he naturally did not want to publish his name in public.
Moreover, the last look left by the old fish just now made him feel a little chilly, what did the old guy want to express? Are they moving too fast? This speed can be described as running away. The Governor closed his eyes and lay on the couch in deep thought, something could not be explained.
"Lizard girl, go see how much food is in the back of the carriage." Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes and instructed someone with quicker legs and feet to check, and it would take three minutes to walk over by himself.
In a few moments, the lizard girl returned to him with a black face.
"What's wrong, no?"
"Yes, but it's enough for us to eat for ten days at most."
"It's not some kind of bug, is it?"
"No, it's some crumbled dumplings with chestnut noodles."
Zhou Yu scolded the old thief, Lao Tzu poured out his heart and lungs to you, and you actually lied to me. It's not enough to lie to me, even pregnant women and small children have to lie. It's good now, I thought I could find a place for them to live in a down-to-earth manner, at least until Wei Ya went back to Destiny Peak.
Now that everything is in vain, Huang Liang wakes up from a beautiful dream, and most of the governors are at most comfortable for four or five days, and they have to roll up their sleeves and go out to collect food and drink.
However, this is only the beginning of the tragedy.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu felt a violent jolt under his feet, and the whole person couldn't stand. He hurriedly lay down on the ground, beckoned the lizard girl and Wei Ya to lie down, crawled to the wall of the carriage with all his strength in a violent tremble, then sat up and asked them to learn to bend their knees and hold their heads.
Old immortal, I didn't say don't move the two-skin dog, don't move the two-skin dog. Why can't you listen to people? It's okay, the train is about to derail, and you can still escape, wait for childbirth with peace of mind, and recover after childbirth. Dream on!
Zhou Yu judged that as soon as the old fish went out, he directly killed the first carriage and killed the second dog, which caused the entire wind wheel to lose control. However, in terms of time, it is inevitably too fast. Even if you run it, you can now reach the third quarter at most. What's more, Erpigou's temper will not open the door easily, and he still remembers that he used a special key to open the door at that time. How can it be so easy to beat his idea?
Did you make a mistake in your judgment?
Boom, boom, a huge tremor came from his feet, and the bump was so turbulent that Zhou Yu and the others almost vomited out their hearts, and they couldn't sit still under their buttocks. Then, the world swirled, and all the furniture was soft and the chairs and sofas were thrown into the air. The Metropolitan Governor had to pull Wei Ya with one hand and the lizard girl with the other, and kept stepping on the place where he could barely borrow his strength, avoiding the attack of the heavy object.
With a thud, a table leg slammed on his head, and the Governor fainted. Bang, bang, I don't know how many times it rolled, the carriage was held up by some kind of heavy object and stopped flipping.
All three of them were unconscious, and none of them were spared.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yu felt a splitting headache, and the bones in his body seemed to fall apart. It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't tell the difference between up and down, left and right, and he wanted to shout but found that he had lost his voice. My mouth was very dry, and I licked my lips, and the salty taste came, it should be blood.
"Oh, ouch! Hiss, haha! Zhou Yu wanted to sit up, but there seemed to be something pressing on his body, and he couldn't move. As it stands, the train derailment is certain. For there was a dead silence all around, and there was no longer the sound of marching or the howling wind.
However, to know what is going on around you, you have to have light. The Metropolitan Governor touched his arms, but fortunately, the fire was still there. He pulled them out and struck them at each other's flints, scarring around them. There's a warm tent in the corner in front of you, so great, just use it.
Zhou Yu lit the warm tent, and the light instantly illuminated half of the carriage. Pressing on him was a table that kept him immobile, and the legs of the table were gone. Seeing the sharp gap of the fracture, most of the governors had palpitations. If he had smashed himself on the opposite side, it was estimated that there would have been two more holes in his body by now, and the blood would have run out long ago.
"Lizard, lizard girl!"
"Weiya!"
Zhou Yu moistened his throat for a long time and shouted their names hoarsely. He wasn't sure if they were safe, so he could only find them before the tent burned out or find a way to escape from under the table.
However, he already had a foot injury, and he couldn't exert any strength at all, and he couldn't even feel that he was still his own below the knee. A piece of numb crispy was conducted, as if it had been injected with anesthetic.
"Lizard Girl!"
"Wei..."
A thud came from a pile of rags not far away, and Zhou Yu saw a hand stretched out, and then a person stumbled out.
"Cough, cough, cough!" She coughed incessantly, apparently inhaling too much dust and smoke, causing her airways to be blocked extensively.
"Wei Ya, come on!" Zhou Yu waved her over.
"Carney, are you alright?" Wei Ya staggered and ran over, and had to climb over two piles of debris in the middle.
"IāI can't move. You help me, help me lift the table. Zhou Yu pointed to his chest.
"By the way, are you hurt?" Zhou Yu was worried that the child did not understand the situation and did not know that he was injured.
"IāI shouldn't have it!"
"Pat yourself on the chest, back, forehead, back of the head, do you feel any pain?"
Smack, smack, smack!
"No, except for a little dizziness."
"That's good, let's see if you can help me move the table away!"
"Okay, Carney, you wait. I'll try it from here! ā
"Hurry up, Weiya. The fire will be extinguished in a moment! ā
"Good!" Wei Ya said, and pulled some strips of cloth from the pile of debris and used them as firewood to cover the fire to prevent the light from being lost.
"You can use force here. Are you ready, Carney? Wei Ya was afraid that her movements would be too large and hurt the Metropolitan Governor, who was already injured.
"Ready, listen to me. One, two, three, up! ā
Zhou Yu and Wei Ya exerted force at the same time, and there was a pinprick-like pain from the waist down. The table was moved, but only slightly. It is good to feel pain, to feel pain, to prove that he is not paralyzed.
"Again, one, two, three!"
"One, two, three!"
Five or six rounds passed, and the table was finally moved by half a meter, Zhou Yu's chest was much looser, and his breathing became smoother. Wei Ya crawled back, tugging at his neck and using all her strength to feed, but she didn't move him half a minute. Zhou Yu grinned: "More than a hundred catties!" Move! ā
In the end, he relied on the strength of his arms to pull out the lower half of his body from the rubble little by little.
After finding two table legs, one as a crutch and the other as a torch, the two of them searched for the traces of the lizard girl in the ruins.
"Carney, here!"
It was still Wei Ya's eyes that were useful, and she saw half of her bare arms in the pile of ruins, her five fingers slightly together as if she wanted to grasp something. Zhou Yu tried it with the back of his hand, but he didn't have any body temperature. And the skin, which should have changed color with the change of color around it, is dead and gray.
The Governor and Wei Ya dug the ruins with their hands without saying a word, pulled out strips of cloth, removed wooden planks, and carried away iron plates. Finally, I saw the lizard girl.
She was cut in half by the broken iron plate. Zhou Yu and the others only dug into her upper body, and there was no trace from the waist down. The lizard girl's eyes were wide open, her eyes were full of fear, her mouth and nose were filled with sand and wood chips, and her face was covered with faint wounds, which should be all wooden thorns.
"Carney, she...
"Well, she's dead."
Zhou Yu used his hand to help the lizard girl close her eyes. Although they had only known each other for a few days, he still had feelings for this girl, even though she had stepped on the bones of her own foot. But if it weren't for that play, he might still be a buddy with Mr. Depravity.
Lizard Girl is a good girl, she is the representative of the awakening generation of Dubancia. In order to pursue maternal love and the present, she dared to fight with her life and resist to the death, which is worthy of admiration. It's a pity that he died too early, and he still had two lives.
"Well, just got you a delivery room, and you just went. said that he was a good godfather, but he couldn't be it. Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and pulled the lizard's body out of the rubble and placed it on top of a pile of broken wood.
Ignite, cremate. The Metropolitan Governor stared at the crackling sparks in the air, and a foul smell of burnt paste came to his mouth and nose, and he slowly lowered his head.
Perhaps, dying like this is the most dignified way for you to die. Rest in peace, lizardwoman. Trust me, this is the best way out for you and for your children.
"Carney, is this death?"
"Well, yes."
"Death is so scary, I don't want to die."
"Everybody is going to die. The lizard's death was horrible, but I guess she was happy in another world. Finally, I don't have to hide and spend every day with my children, just like Wei Ya and her mother. ā
"Really? Then I want to bless Sister Lizard! ā
"Really, I bless her too. She's a good person! ā
After dealing with the lizard girl's funeral, the Metropolitan Governor and Wei Ya found objects that could continue to be used in the twisted box. In the end, there were three water bladders, fifteen pieces of gluttony, a few fairly thick clothes, and some broken copper and iron.
It doesn't matter, as long as you live, you have a way. Zhou Yu thought in his heart that since the train derailed, the wreckage of the eleven carriages in front and behind should not be far away, and now he can find an exit and go out, and he can also collect some usable things from other carriages. The main thing is to replenish more food and fresh water, and stick to the next stop or find the station where the steamer stops.
"Carney, it's all here. What to do? ā
"You wrap these things in a warm tent and hand them to me, and I carry them on my shoulder. Then let's go out through the exit and continue on our way! ā
The car body was seriously deformed, and the door was naturally thrown hundreds of miles away, and the two of them poked their heads out of the car effortlessly.
It was dark and quiet, with no howling wind or bitter cold, and it should have been deep below the ground.
"Help me out!"
Wei Ya walked out of the carriage with Zhou Yu in her arms, and slowly stepped along the deformed compartment to the ground step by step.
This is the first time that Zhou Yu has personally touched the continent of Dubancia, and he has always been on a high-speed train before. Now under his feet, it is the real Dubancia.
After exploring half a mile of the road from front to back, left and right, Zhou Yu became suspicious in his heart. Why aren't there any other derailed carriages? It stands to reason that there should not be a section that has not been encountered in all four directions.
There is only one answer, and this answer makes the Metropolitan Governor cold from his back to the top of his head.
Only the last carriage derailed. This derailment was not caused by the old fish killing the two dogs, but the old fish untied the connection device between the carriage and the entire wind wheel, and artificially caused the accident.
The reason is very simple, he got the information he wanted, and in order to avoid being betrayed by the Metropolitan Governor in the future, he adopted the simplest and most direct way to deal with it - get rid of him, and he will be a hundred. Zhou Yu bit his lip and oozed blood, you are a family of, you would rather kill any stumbling block for your own life. What's more, for them, the Metropolitan Governor is not a stumbling block but a lifesaver.
However, if you think about it from another perspective, if Zhou Yu is an old fish, he may not be merciful. After all, this is a major plan related to the survival of the clan, and once the news leaks out, it is very likely that thousands of people will fall into the abyss from which they will never recover.
But these can't be the reasons for Lao Yucao's disregard for people's lives, there is nothing that cannot be solved by dialogue and negotiation, thinking of the look in his eyes when he left, Zhou Yu thought that Lao Yu's psychology had been distorted. Under the huge pressure, the children are not only physically sick and psychologically perverted, Zhou Yu remembered a sentence he had heard in his previous life: People who have lived in the dark for a long time do not believe in fairy tales. Not only do these executioners not believe in fairy tales, but they have no humanity at all.
From a certain point of view, Huo Wang's approach is correct.
"Carney, what do we do now?"
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, took out the map from his arms, and continued to measure along the Xuancheng line. Judging from the distance on the map, it will take about four hours to drive to the next station, and it is estimated that it will take a month to travel according to my current foot strength.
Heading north, you can reach the steamer line according to the map, which is more than half as far as this side, and you can reach it in about ten days. Zhou Yu meditated for a long time, and he decided to continue along the railroad tracks for several reasons:
First, the railroad tracks will definitely reach the city, which is true, unquestionable, and has been proven countless times by wind wheels that have traveled for thousands of years. If you keep going, you will definitely find a way out, the question is how long the existing water bladders and dumpling pieces will keep them going.
Second, if you choose to go directly to the north, it looks like a shortcut, and there is also a city standing there, located on the steamwheel. However, there are too many uncertainties, and the map does not make any annotations between the two points. The Governor responsibly speculated on a possibility, what if there was no road in between? Walking in front of me is a pitch-black gable, and how much foot effort and food are wasted back and forth.
Third, according to the experience of previous lives, it should be said that it is also a kind of common sense. At the beginning of the construction of military bases, the first construction and use of the railway should be the railway, and all branches should be deployed around the railway station design, otherwise the railway will lose the meaning of carrying goods and people. Judging from this, there should be more villages and markets along the railway, not only in big cities like Tsuseong.
"Let's go, let's follow the railroad tracks, continue on."
"Are we going to chase a train?"
"Well, catch up with the train, and we'll avenge Sister Lizard!" Zhou Yu tightened his coat and limped on crutches on the sleepers.
