Chapter 44: The Hole
The surface of the water stirred up huge waves, and we were pushed by the endless waves, and our bodies floated and sank uncontrollably in the water. The smallpox continued to fall off, and I saw a boulder hit the head of a zombie below, causing the skull to explode and the body to fall into the water.
As the stones fell, the ceiling cracked completely, and a large amount of water began to pour in from the crack.
The huge amount ......of water rushed into the huge subway space at once.
I couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of me, but I knew I had to find a place to lean on, so I took Xiaorou's hand and swam towards the train. But I soon found that no matter how much we swam, our bodies were like being grabbed by a sudden vortex, and we couldn't help but scurry around.
I feel like the whole subway space is spinning. Several stone pillars had collapsed and fallen to the bottom of the water. The glass frames of the service guide and the subway map swirl violently in the water. As more and more water poured in from above, the churning of the water grew stronger and stronger, and I even saw the huge train being lifted up by the water and starting to crash into the tunnel walls.
Suddenly, I was jerked and swept into an even more turbulent whirlpool, and my body began to swing wildly uncontrollably, and soon I felt dizzy and upside down. I don't know how long it took, but when the whirlpool finally passed, I opened my eyes and realized that I had been thrown at the entrance of the subway hall.
The surroundings gradually returned to quiet, and at this time I felt that the oxygen in my chest was almost exhausted, so I subconsciously wanted to take Xiao Rou's hand and go upstream, but suddenly found that the palm of my hand was empty, and Xiao Rou was nowhere to be found.
The bottom of the water was pitch black, and the temperature had plummeted, making it feel a bit chilly. I looked around, but the flashlight didn't fall anywhere, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't shout, and Xiaorou lost it.
I swam a few more meters forward and suddenly noticed a light, and it turned out that the flashlight had fallen to the bottom of the water not far away. So I paddled and swam over. The moment he picked up the flashlight, a face suddenly appeared in the light. Having the experience of being scared last time, this time I held my breath and went upstream.
At a glance, I seemed to see countless faces like that behind it, in addition to the hideous face. Could it be that the train was crashed and the corpses ran out of it?
The oxygen in my chest was getting less and less, and I sped up, but after a few swims, my head "buzzed" against a wall, and I was smashed.
"Ahhh......h The oxygen also dissolved into bubbles from the mouth and quickly disappeared into the water. In the light, I was horrified to find that I had crashed into the ceiling. In other words, the sudden flood has flooded the entire subway space.
I panicked and shone around with my flashlight, but everywhere I looked, there was smallpox, and there was nowhere to escape. I ran out of oxygen, and I began to struggle involuntarily, my chest feeling like it was being squeezed by a robotic arm.
Just as my chest was rising and falling violently and my whole body began to spasm, a cold hand grabbed me! The hand touched my cheek and pinched my nose. Then I felt my lips warm, and a sweet smell entered my mouth.
My breathing began to calm down. A cold and small face appeared in the flashlight, with a white and delicate forehead, beautiful eyes closed, eyelashes trembling slightly in the water, and short silky hair floating in the space.
It's Xiao Rou. Once again, I was saved by her.
The oxygen exchange was almost over, and Xiao Rou let out a soft sigh and left my mouth, then took my hand and swam forward. After swimming about five or six meters, I saw a faint light. She pulled me upstream.
"Wow!" We finally surfaced. I opened my mouth wide and gasped desperately at the sky.
But...... Wait a minute...... Sky? How can I see the sky in the subway?
I looked up and was surprised to find that the place that had been smallpox had become a hollow. The moonlight was shining down along the high soil section above, and from time to time stones fell into the water.
What kind of force can open a hole in the subway? Is it an earthquake? Still is......
"Y-Are you alright?" Xiaorou asked nervously. Her hair was wet on her fair forehead, and beads of crystal water rolled restlessly on her eyelashes.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "I saved you again!" β
She inadvertently bit her lip and looked away. I was so upset by her expression that I had to say embarrassedly: "So, don't say that you can't help at all, you are still very reliable at the critical moment!" β
"Thank you!" She said. Then we fell silent.
I began to look around along this irregular hole surrounded by a cross-section of the soil. Through the moonlight, I looked into the water, and the whole waiting hall in front of me was like a huge three-dimensional crystal box, and the scenery was indescribably fantastic.
But as the light began to penetrate the water, I shivered and felt a chill run down my back. Several cement pillars fell to the bottom of the water, and in addition to the remains of train cars, ticket machines, and billboards that had washed up in the hall, lay on the ground.
The only difference was that as far as the eye could see, the entire hall floor was filled with dead people. My judgment was correct, and the deceased crawled out of the train after it was indeed crashed.
"Senior, I have an idea,...... Xiao Rou suddenly said, "Could it be the artificial lake in the street park above here?" β
Her words instantly made me enlightened, so that's what happened! Above the subway is an artificial lake! This explains why the water is so large that it can flood the entire subway......
A chill ran through my heart, and I consciously or unconsciously associated the monster on the broken bridge I had heard earlier with the culprit who caused the scene in front of me.
I had a foreboding feeling, looking at this empty hole, I always felt that this place would not be long left, so I pointed to the bottom of the water and asked, "Xiaorou, is Exit E in that direction?" β
When I saw her nodding, I immediately said, "Let's swim over and catch up with Guan Fei from there!" β
Before I could finish speaking, I saw something out of the corner of my eye, and at the edge of the hole, on a pile of cold and hard mud, something seeped out.
It was black, wisps, and there were so many of them, it was likeβ
Hair!
I was horrified, and a large amount of hair was seeping through the hole on the top of my head, and soon came to me.
Between the thick hair, I could faintly see a pale face, which was hideous and terrifying, and the skin seemed to melt.
Not good! A strong sense of crisis instantly filled my body.
"Quick, deep breath!" I reflexively shouted as I grabbed Xiao Rou's hand.
"W-What? Wait ......" Before she could react, she had already been dragged into the water by me. Fortunately, she also took a big breath the moment she entered the water.
Sure enough, after we swam away from the water, there was a muffled thud on the surface of the water, and a white object fell from the thick black hair.
