Chapter 6: Disaster Strikes
When the end of the world comes, crowded areas such as train stations and large shopping malls are the most dangerous and terrifying places.
Even if Lin Li had three years of experience in surviving in the last days, if he was trapped in such a place, he would definitely be dead and lifeless, and there was absolutely no possibility of survival.
But Yan Xiaoqing must be saved, if Sister Yan died in the carriage or at the station like this, Lin Li would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Taking a deep breath, he squatted down, picked up the old mobile phone that had been broken into parts on the ground, skillfully reassembled it, and tried to make a few more calls to Yan Xiaoqing.
This old Nokia phone is also a good thing, no matter how you drop it, you can't break it.
Unsurprisingly, the phone went unanswered. Either the user is busy or not in the service area. More than a dozen calls in a row could not be connected. Lin Li could only sigh, and then made another call to the station in the city.
On the phone, the operator told Lin Li in an intermittent voice, "The K1512 train may be delayed due to communication failures, but it will not be more than one o'clock in the afternoon at the latest." β
Hearing the operator's words, Lin Li's anxious heart calmed down a little.
"Hopefully the train will arrive before 1 p.m., even if it's 10 minutes early!" Lin Li sat on the bed and sighed. Then he jumped out of bed, rushed into the bathroom, and freshened up as fast as he could.
After about ten minutes, he had changed into a sleek, dark black combat suit designed for wilderness exploration. The canvas bag, Lin Li still held in his hand.
It's just that what is in it is no longer money. Votes, but the golden dagger, the Swiss dagger, and the military hand axe.
In the end, Lin Li thought about it again, worried that he might be trapped in the station, or that he might not be able to rush back due to other accidents, so he brought a few compressed biscuits, some medicines, and a few bottles of drinks.
At this moment, the time also points to ten o'clock in the morning, less than three hours before the disaster breaks out! The sun did not set for three days in a row, and panic had begun to spread to every corner of the city.
Despite the intervention of the army and the authorities, the situation was barely under control, but the uneasiness in the hearts of the people was growing stronger.
The streets are full of people holding signs and shouting slogans, and there are long queues everywhere in major supermarkets, shopping malls, commissaries, grocery stores, and wherever you can buy things.
It's just that from the third day onwards, there are very few places where you can buy anything, and the supermarket employees are also people, and they will panic.
In fact, from noon on the third day, most of the supermarkets and shopping malls in Anseong will be closed and no longer open. On the streets, there is no longer the laughter and laughter of the past. Everywhere there was a crowd of people in a hurry, with panicked faces.
Fortunately, public transport has not been paralyzed at this time. Lin Li also stopped a taxi and hurried to the station.
The sun does not set for three consecutive days, which makes many people have a feeling of imminent disaster, and the panicked crowd is not just as simple as rushing to buy money.
Many people who work in other places will subconsciously rush back to their hometowns in panic and seize the time to reunite with their relatives and friends.
When Lin Li arrived at the station, the station was already overcrowded, and there were people carrying large bags and small bags everywhere.
In the ticket hall of the station, the crowd is long enough to surround the station and circle it several times. In the waiting hall, there are no more people, and the queue of people waiting for the train has been lined up outside the station.
Lin Li's face became even more difficult to look at when he saw this scene, although he had been mentally prepared before coming, but the density of the crowd here still exceeded his imagination.
If, when disaster strikes, half of the people in it, no, as long as one-third of the people become zombies, that kind of terrifying scene is simply unimaginable!
"Sister Yanzi, you must not have anything to do!"
Lin Li's heart let out an anxious cry. The train hadn't entered the station yet, and it was useless for him to be in a hurry. While there was still a little time, he forcibly held back the anxiety in his heart and began to look at the environment of the station.
The structural diagram inside and outside the station also began to automatically appear in my mind, where there are more people, where there are fewer people, where you can get supplies, and where is suitable for escape......
Scenes kept flashing in his mind, silently remembering in his heart, maybe at some point, these were his chances to escape.
But no matter how well planned, the train didn't come, and everything was just empty talk. An hour passes, two hours pass. Yan Xiaoqing's train never arrived at the station.
Lin Li's anxious heart also became more anxious, the time pointed to twelve o'clock at noon, and the train was nearly an hour late. He couldn't hold back any longer, and frantically rushed to the station's information desk, wanting to inquire about the specific time when the train would arrive.
But the delayed train is obviously not only K1512. Most of the rest of the trains were delayed, and the anxiously waiting relatives and friends had already crowded the information desk.
A part of the excited crowd also caused a small riot at the station. But the riots soon subsided, and the large number of armed military and police officers in the station square were by no means vegetarians.
After Lin Li tried a few times and couldn't squeeze in, he had no choice but to retreat, his eyes fixed on the bulletin board of the train arriving in the square.
The old Nokia mobile phone, Lin Li picked it up over and over again, and every minute that passed, his face was more anxious.
12:10!
Twelve twenty!
It's twelve thirty!
It has been less than thirty minutes since the disaster broke out, but Yan Xiaoqing's train has not yet entered the station, what should I do, what should I do?
Could it be that in this life, I can only watch Sister Yanzi die!
No, it won't! The time has not yet come, I still have a chance, there will be a way! Lin Li's eyes were almost red as he looked at the electronic bulletin board in front of him.
Twelve forty, twelve fifty!
Whining!
Finally, just when the time pointed to 12:50, there was a train whistle in the station, and the information on the bulletin board about the arrival of the K1512 train also lit up.
Fang Yuan, who was already desperate in his heart, also acted in an instant, he let out a low roar, and when he heard the train whistle, his body had already rushed into the exit of the station like a cheetah.
At this time, it was less than ten minutes before the disaster broke out!
The moment of racing against time has come, whether he can change Yan Xiaoqing's fate and his own fate, it is only in this short ten minutes.
At this time, no rules, no rules, can no longer stop the forest, he is like a beast out of the cage, extremely savagely pushing away the crowd in front of him, his body swims like a fish, constantly drilling through the gaps in the crowd, attracting a lot of scolding.
"Sir, sir, please calm down, this is the exit of the station, you are not allowed to enter, you are not allowed to ......"
Behind him, there was the anxious voice of the staff at the station, and several men in uniform also rushed over with fierce looks, wanting to subdue Lin Li, who was making trouble.
But Lin Li turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye, and there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to rush in. He jumped over the iron railings of the ticket gate and ran past several men in uniform who tried to hold him.
Rushed into the corridor and ran into the platform!
At this point, the clock is already pointing to 12:55! In other words, there are less than five minutes left for Lin Li.
"Sister Yanzi, where are you, answer me! Answer me quickly! Lin Li rushed into the platform and shouted loudly, and the one in his hand was desperately dialing Yan Xiaoqing's phone.
"Lin Li, this way, I'm here!" At the back of the crowd, there was also a voice of surprise. It's Yan Xiaoqing's voice!
If you follow the voice, you can see a beautiful woman wearing a professional skirt, with a devilish figure and picturesque eyebrows, constantly waving her hand in this direction.
Beside her, there was also a well-dressed, very handsome man in a suit, who was talking about something diligently, but Yan Xiaoqing didn't respond, just kept waving to Lin Li.
The face of the man in the suit suddenly became gloomy, even if it was far away, Lin Li could feel the man's unkind gaze.
"Xiao Linzi, why did you come here? Is it because you miss your sister? Yan Xiaoqing waved her hand and trotted over to Lin Li and said.
"Sister Yanzi, don't say anything, don't ask anything, if you believe me, just follow me! There is no time left! Lin Li looked at the time on his phone, it was already twelve fifty-seven.
There are less than three minutes left until the end of the world begins!
In these three minutes, he must escape from this terrifying station with Yan Xiaoqing, otherwise he will fall into a huge crisis.
"Slow, who are you, what is your relationship with Xiaoqing, and what do you do? Why do you want to take Xiaoqing away! At this time, the voice of the man in the suit questioning came from the side, and his eyes were staring at Lin Li very unkindly.
"Zhang Hai, what are you doing here, checking your household registration? It's not your turn to meddle in my affairs, Lin Li, let's go, ignore him! β
Yan Xiaoqing glanced at Zhang Hai dissatisfied, grabbed Lin Li's hand, and was about to walk to the exit of the station.
Lin Li's face changed, "Sister Yanzi, you can't go over there, there are a lot of people there, let's go to the depths of the platform, the less people there are, the better!" β
Yan Xiaoqing's face was full of doubts, "Xiaolinzi, what happened, why are you weird today, if you don't go out of the station, how can we get out?" β
Zhang Hai, the man in the suit, looked at Lin Li with great vigilance, and hurriedly stopped: "Boy, where do you want to take Xiaoqing, I warn you, I am Xiaoqing's fiancΓ©, you'd better get away from me!" β
As he spoke, he was about to forcibly push Lin Li away, Yan Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows, and with a snap, she pushed the hand of the man in the suit away and protected Lin Li behind her.
"Zhang Hai, you're enough! My father agreed to marry you, but my mother didn't agree! If you want to get married, you and my dad will get married! β
"Get out!"
Lin Li also let out a beast-like roar in his throat, when is this, the disaster is about to happen, where does he have the leisure to watch the two quarrel.
Immediately stopped Yan Xiaoqing, who was still unrelenting, and was about to run wildly, at this time, it was less than a minute before the disaster broke out, and he had to stay away from the dense crowd nearby as soon as possible.
"Stop! If you don't make things clear, you can't go! Zhang Hai's face was completely gloomy, and he blocked Lin Li's way again.
"Look for death!"
Lin Li was angry, whether he could survive or not depends on this last minute, where he might be entangled with Zhang Hai, and he was about to swing his fist and knock Zhang Hai down.
It was at this time. Inside the station, there was a sudden melodious bell. While! Dangdangdang...... Thirteen bells, thirteen o'clock in the afternoon, finally arrived!
The sun in the sky, at this moment, had a terrifying vision, the originally dazzling golden sun, at this moment, it gradually changed the color of blood, countless blood-red rays, shining on the earth.
Inside the station, many passengers who were still getting on and off the train suddenly let out a miserable scream, and most of them began to feel a sharp pain all over their bodies, and they fell to the ground in pain, and began to howl like beasts.
Finished!
Lin Li's body also fell into a slight pause at this moment, and his mood also sank to the bottom all of a sudden, and his thinking came to a halt almost instantly.
I don't know how long this situation lasted, maybe a second, maybe an hour, and just when he regained his thoughts, most of the people in the entire station had fallen to the ground, spasms in pain.
"Husband, husband, what's wrong with you, what's going on, don't scare me!" Not far away, a young woman squatted on the ground, desperately hugging a man who was spasmodic, and screamed in a panic.
But her words didn't last long, and the man, who was spasmed, suddenly turned blood-red, his fangs bulged out, and let out a beast-like cry, and threw the woman to the ground, biting her neck dead!
Click!
In the nearby forest, you can clearly hear the terrifying cracking sound of the woman's neck being cut open and the neck bone being bitten off.
"Ahh Oh no, someone killed, someone killed! Another chubby middle-aged woman saw this scene and let out a frightened sound. Collapsed on the ground, he immediately struggled again, trying to get back up.
But before she could get up, several black shadows, already howling, pounced on her, followed by a sound of tearing flesh and blood.
The fat woman had been torn apart, her internal organs and flesh were splashed everywhere, and those black shadows were lying on the ground, swallowing the flesh and blood.
Stimulated by the smell of blood, many people who were lying on the ground and constantly convulsing also jumped up one after another, letting out a whining roar from their mouths, and holding down the nearby crowd that could still stand, it was a burst of bites.
"The end of the world has finally come!"
Lin Li slowly closed his eyes and sighed heavily, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already extremely cold and murderous and crazy.
