Chapter 41 Containers
As soon as we rushed in, we aimed our guns inside. It had been agreed long before that as long as the people inside were not Chen Zaihai, they would shoot directly.
I felt a little sluggish because the wind had been blowing outside for too long, and as soon as I entered the front of the car, I was a little blinded by the light inside. Those two engineers don't seem to be much better than me, I said in my heart, why didn't I think of this in the first place!
Nowadays, everyone must have the experience of riding a bicycle on the night road. When you're riding, if there's a car with these high beams on the opposite side, I'm sure you'll definitely feel the urge to greet the driver. Due to drastic changes in light, our eyes have a brief adaptation process in order to protect themselves.
But for us now, no matter how short the process is, it is fatal. If there were enemies in there, we would have been knocked down in an instant. For a moment, I wanted to ignore the three-seven-twenty-one and shoot directly.
But it may be Chen Zaihai and them again, this is really fucking stupid! Isn't that tantamount to giving one's life to someone else? There is no way, now that it has been exposed, it has lost the meaning of the surprise attack. The three of us immediately retreated as fast as we could, at least our view from the outside could be guaranteed. But in any case, if it was the enemy inside, we would have lost half of it.
Maybe to the people inside, the three of us look like crazy people. I swaggered in, and finally ran out inexplicably.
However, the counterattack we expected did not come. No bullets flew out of it. The strange thing is that if Chen Zaihai and them were here, they would definitely stop us.
What's going on? There was no reaction, could it be because the people inside were so focused on something that they didn't notice us at all? Aren't they even more stupid than we are?
The impression that the mysterious force has always given us is a deeply hidden image of caution. Is this the exact opposite of what we want to be in?
Confused, we had to wait outside for our eyesight to gradually recover, and then cautiously stepped across the front entrance, and as soon as we entered, I knew why there was no response inside. Between us and the cab for some reason, there was a very thick iron wall.
What makes us even more ridiculous is that there is no one in the cab. The light shining from the inside turned out to be the built-in light of the interior of the first car!
I forgot that the so-called steam locomotives are not all thermal and mechanical energy. It still has a steam generator inside, and although the power is small, it is more than enough to provide lighting in the car.
I realized that the two engineers had put down their guns, the power parts of the steam locomotive, the boiler and the steam engine. If something leaks through the fire, all of us will be scalded to death by the hot steam.
The inside of the cab was small, and I could see the steering levers, as well as the two gates that were larger and smaller next to them. The key valve is not seen.
For a period of time, Chen Zaihai and I were out of the exploration mission together, and the two of us had to go to Jiamusi, Inner Mongolia, to meet up with other personnel. All the way was riding this kind of steam locomotive, and Chen Zaihai was very interested in this thing at that time. We took our work IDs and pretended to be leaders and went to the cab to visit.
At that time, there happened to be several apprentices on duty, and the only master who was the main driver was bought by Chen Zaihai with two Evergrande. We stayed in the cab almost the whole time, and thanks to this experience, we learned a lot about steam locomotives.
It stands to reason that there should be three people on board the steam locomotive. There is a driver, a co-driver, a stoker. General driver and co-driver and can operate steam locomotives. The stoker is coal-added. The driver or co-driver of the maneuver is on the left side of the locomotive. The other is on the right. The stoker is underneath.
It is worth noting that steam locomotives do not have accelerators, only valves. There is also a directional joystick. Hit the lever in front or behind and manipulate the valve. The locomotive goes forward or backward. For locomotives, the valve is just as important as the accelerator of the car.
There should also be two gates in it. The larger gate is the brake of the whole line. The small one is the tube locomotive itself. The locomotive does not have a steering wheel, and the railway generally drives wherever it leads, and there is no need to control the steering at all.
As I said earlier, there was no one in the cab, the iron gate in front of the coal box was wide open, and a raging fire came out from it, and even the external steam pipes were suddenly steaming, and the coal shovel covered with cinders was still casually underground.
No matter how you look at it, I think there are still people working just now. And it's too cramped, and the three-proof suit I'm wearing can't be moved. I had no choice but to ask the two engineers next to me to help me take it off.
As soon as I left the suit, I felt an unbearable heat wave coming towards me. Oh my God, it's so hot in here! No wonder Chen Zaihai was not steamed in the power plant that time, this thing's thermal insulation performance is really not blown out.
I turned to look at the two of them and said you can really bear it. The two of them smirked noncommittally, they really didn't hear it? I'm not complimenting you
The sound of wheels hitting rails was still coming from outside, and I felt that the frequency of the sound was getting faster and faster? Just as I was about to go out to check the situation, there was a lot of movement outside the cab, and it sounded like someone had hit the iron wall at the entrance.
"Old Su! Are you here? "It seems to be Chen Zaihai's voice." Fuck, how can there be a broken wall in this place? Hit me dead"
I immediately ran anxiously towards the entrance at the back. After going around the wall, I immediately saw Chen Zaihai covering his head and scolding. It's hard to put into words how excited I was, but I rushed over and gave him a bear hug. However, since he was still wearing a three-proof suit, I was a bit like a koala hanging from a tree.
He himself was completely punished, and in his afterthought, he saw a thin shadow smash at him. If it weren't for the fact that the Czech style couldn't be used here, he would have pulled out his gun and shot it.
"Oops! It's really Lao Su! Thanks to you, you kid can still climb up! "Chen Zaihai was also very happy when he saw it.
"Are you the only one? What about Talia and them? I asked.
"I'm here." From behind Chen Zaihai, Talia poked out a head, and strangely enough, she was not wearing a three-defense suit.
It's a thankful thing that a few of us climbed onto the train unscathed.
"Su Zhenpeng, actually, not all of us are here," Talia sighed deeply.
I immediately counted the engineers behind them, and the remaining two were familiar faces. My heart immediately tightened, and I almost cried out, are there only two people alive?
Are there only seven of us left in the twenty or so people who were alive and well at the beginning? I sadly asked the two of them what the hell was going on. Talia covered her mouth and shook her head, it seemed that she couldn't speak. My heart sank deeper, and it seemed that the way those engineers sacrificed would not be very comfortable.
Chen Zaihai told me that at first, all of them jumped on the train without any problems. No one was left behind, and he and Talia were happy at the time. Unlike the three of us, they seemed to board the second half of the train. It's the part of the container that I was concerned about at the beginning.
"I had no idea what was going on. At first, we sent a few engineers to explore the way in the cargo compartment, but they didn't go back at all. The inside of the cargo compartment was as quiet as death, and the two men disappeared silently as if they had evaporated from the world. Chen Zaihai said in a trembling voice.
After that, they waited in place for a long time, but nothing came of it. Immediately, all of them panicked, and their eyes changed when they looked at the carriages. Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder if this train was really alive. Everyone who went in ate it all ate it?
Thinking of this, I immediately felt a cleverness, and I thought of a very terrible detail: the human hand I saw at the beginning seemed to be white and had no sleeves, and the two engineers behind us were wearing long-sleeved military uniforms, and the moment my whole person was like falling into an ice well for three or nine days, and the whole person was cold from the inside out. That hand seemed to come out of one of those containers
When Chen Zaihai heard me say this, his expression immediately changed. I asked, are you all experiencing something similar? He shook his head and said that it wasn't as outrageous as what I had encountered, that they had just disappeared very simply. The whole time he passed the car, he pricked up his ears and listened to the movement in front of him. At first, the engineers were still reporting to him that everything was normal, but the next second there was no movement at all.
Several of them all walked along the edge of the container, and after there was no movement, Chen Zaihai immediately stretched out his head to look over. But there was nothing there, and the engineers disappeared as if they had been eaten by a container. He watched unrelentingly until he couldn't stand the oncoming strong wind and retreated, and there was nothing unusual where they disappeared.
I asked them if they had fallen, and he said absolutely not. Talia kept her eyes on the rails. I didn't see anyone falling. Talia nodded.
He couldn't sit still and wanted to crawl over to see what was going on, but was immediately stopped by Talia. She took off her three-defense suit a few times, brought an engineer's extended sapper shovel, and picked up the three-defense suit. It stretched out to the place where the engineers had disappeared.
Talia said that the carriages with containers were all strangely designed, they were originally rectangular carriages, but they were cut down a lot in the middle. It makes the whole carriage look down from top to bottom like a "work" word. Due to the angle, she couldn't see the situation over there at all.
But it wasn't long before Talia felt a sudden light on her hand, and she immediately took the sapper shovel back, and the three-defense suit on the shovel was the same as the one on the engineers.
