Chapter 40: Ghostly

I took one last look outside, and the walls of the tunnel were still receding rapidly. It doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. I really don't know where this train will take us, the other side of the hope of survival? Or the bottom of hell of death? I even kindly wonder if we made the wrong decision and that we shouldn't have gotten on this train at all.

The number of times we looked at this train over and over again was so great that I could almost draw it with my eyes closed. Except for the front and rear of the train, there was no other light on the train. Even if it's a truck, it's too weird. Now that I've actually boarded this thing, I think it's ghostly no matter how I look at it.

It's as if it's not the wheels that move the whole train forward, but something else

The feeling of being on your back was very uncomfortable, and the train had no whistle at all, and there was nothing to run except the sound of the collision with the rails. At that time, most of the trains used in Japan in China were coal-powered steam locomotives. The proportion of diesel locomotives is very small, one is that they do not want to waste precious oil on the battlefield of China, which has long been recognized as an absolute superiority. Second, the navy on the Pacific theater, which is their focus, is itself an oil-burning supermachine.

These two factors led to the fact that almost all of the old steam locomotives used by the Japanese in China.

Old things will give people a wonderful feeling, and it will always give you a feeling that it is alive. This is a trait that only old antiquities have. But for some reason, this train also gave me such a faint feeling.

Otherwise, I would not have seen the hand of the engineer just now as sticking out of the trunk.

The place we were in was supposed to be in the middle of the train, and the containers behind it were all large containers one by one, all painted black, and all of them were covered in some unintelligible white Japanese. Although I was very curious about what was in those boxes. But it is clearly unwise to pry them open on a train moving at high speed. Although we are standing next to it

More is better than less, and we quickly turned over the container in front of us. The box is a little slippery and difficult to grasp. But with the help of the engineers, I still got over.

The first few sections seem to be carrying coal, and the truckload of coal hoppers gives us good climbing conditions. I still firmly believe that Chen Zaihai and they will eventually move towards the front of the car. Now that it is out of the scope of the "fog", it is imperative to find a way to stop the train.

No one knows where it's going, and if it does end up in a big hole, it's funny.

The emergency lights on the tunnel walls gave us the most basic light. Although the red light is very penetrating, the light intensity is not enough, and we can only roughly see the outline of this carriage.

The hopper is very high, and the upper part is completely hidden from the range of the emergency lights. I stretched my hands to the limit by myself, and I couldn't even reach the edge of it. I took out a flashlight and took a look at it, and found that it was as tall as two people younger.

The two engineers knelt down on the spot facing each other, and I jumped on their knees onto the coal hopper. At this time, I was not embarrassed, I stepped on it and rushed up with all my body. With both hands on the edge, one of the two engineers grabbed me by the leg and threw me up, and I climbed up with great ease.

As soon as I got up, I put my hand back and pulled the two of them up again. It was a completely different feeling than just now at the junction, without the protection of the trunk, we immediately faced a very fatal problem with the oncoming wind.

Despite my preparation, I almost got blown off the car. Damn it! This wind can't stand up at all! There was so much coal in the body that we couldn't jump into it to avoid the wind.

The two of them and I had to keep our bodies as low as we could, and we ended up almost lying on the coals. It's strange to me that there seems to be something strange about this coal. After watching it for so long, I'm sure that this train is definitely Japanese, which means it hasn't been used for at least 20 years.

Not to mention that it's running around on the railroad right now, because that's weird in itself. The condition of this coal is a little too new, right? It's completely different from what we saw at that power plant before, where the reasons for the coal hesitation time are almost all connected, and it really looks like a coal mountain.

However, this is not the case with the coal, which is very divided one by one, with no obvious difference in size, and is very pure in color. Everything indicates that the coal here has only recently been loaded, and that it has been improvised and processed

There are a lot of places where it doesn't make sense, obviously coal to be used, and trains that have been abandoned for more than 20 years. This is a paradoxical proposition.

It occurred to me that possibility, could it be that someone had only recently discovered this train? And they think it's useful to them so they can simply fix it and use it to transport coal?

So who would they be? Ivan them? Or is it the unidentified force?

What are they going to do with this coal? Generate electricity? Or heating?

All of a sudden, the problem became complicated, and I felt like my brain was about to crack. No matter how much you think about it, you can't solve the problem at hand. There must be a reason why the train moves, and if it has been remodeled or repaired, there must be some traces on the front of the train.

Either way, you have to climb to the front of the car eventually.

Compared to me, the two engineers seemed to be able to adapt to the oncoming wind more quickly. They told me they wanted to go over themselves and then pull me over with a rope. It's humiliating, but I don't have any other choice, and it's naïve to be reckless at such a time. People must have a clear understanding of what they can and cannot do.

After seeing me nod, the two of them pulled out the rope and tied it to me. Immediately after that, he took the other end and slowly crawled forward in a standard prostrate position. It didn't take long for them to climb to the other side of the hopper without danger.

When I saw the signal they gave with a flashlight, I took action. The oncoming winds, the trains that vibrated from time to time, these things were too dangerous for me. Without the help of this rope, I really wouldn't have been able to climb over it alone.

The front of the car was still far away in the darkness ahead, and there were many such coal hoppers in front of it. We're going to do it as soon as possible, and if this train really goes to the territory of the unknown forces, we're really done.

The rest of the process was lackluster, and we climbed through several wagons carrying coal in the same way. As I crawled, the question in my mind grew, was this a coal truck? Half of the load is coal, so where is this amount of coal needed?

Is it the same power plant that you used to have? Or is it some other large building? It occurred to me that there were strange logbooks and meteorological data, and I thought to myself, could it be a port? That's

And I also care about the second half of the train. That thing is supposed to be the most recent item like the coal here. However, people must know how to give up, especially when comparing their own lives, smart people will definitely choose to survive first. Survive and have a chance to explore the secrets again. The so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood.

After the unremitting efforts of the three of us, we finally faintly saw the locomotive in front of us. As I had observed, it was indeed an old-fashioned steam locomotive. But unlike when we were on the ground, this time we were able to take a closer look at it.

Thinking of this, we didn't need to speed up the speed of the car through the trunk.

The two engineers were very quick with their hands and feet, and it didn't take long to run to the car box closest to the front of the car. With their help, I was able to climb over with ease. The car was also loaded with coal, but I noticed that it seemed to be missing a piece of coal near the front of the car, and it seemed that it was used to power the train.

Wait a minute! When I saw this, my heart immediately tightened, and used it as motivation? We didn't have much automation at that time, and the fact that there was a lot less coal only meant one thing. Someone at the front of the car is refilling coal inside!

The fact that there was someone in front of us didn't know what to do for a while. Who will they be? Most likely it was Chen Zaihai and them, then I could just walk in, kick him in the ass, and ask him what was crazy.

But what if not? Although I always felt that there was no one on this train except us, now that I think about it, it really doesn't really fit in with reality. It is impossible for the train to move on its own, and to joke about it, nothing will be allowed to become fine after liberation.

If it weren't for Chen Zaihai and them, it would only be that mysterious force. We don't know if they're friend or foe, but judging by what happened to the task force, these people certainly won't be too friendly to us

We were in a dilemma. It's as if you have a bottle of some kind of liquid in front of you, and that bottle is completely sealed and opaque. And you are a person who is about to die of thirst, and you also know that this is half of the probability format of water and poison, how do you choose in the face of this bottle of liquid? If you think about it, you can see how tangled we were at the time

In this way, the two engineers and I were stunned for half an hour outside in the wind, and there was nothing more depressing than this. In the end, I couldn't help it, and the wind from all kinds of cinders kept drilling into the cracks of my three-proof suit, which was so uncomfortable!

I gave the two of them a few simple gestures and told them to get ready for battle. No matter what Longtan Tiger's Den is in front of you, it is better to break through than to be buried in coal here! I'm a bit indecisive, but I'm definitely not one to die, and I won't hesitate to go up when it's time to fight hard!

The two engineers took out the Czech-style that they were carrying behind them, and I also opened my own 54-type insurance, and the three of them crawled silently on the coal hopper. Sure enough, there was light coming out of the front of the car, and the three of us quietly sneaked into the shadows between the front of the car and the coal hopper.

The next moment I was ready to shoot, and the next moment I and the two of them rushed into the front of the car with guns raised
