Chapter 2: Darkness

Su Mengfan knew that the original owner was surprised and messed up for a while, and it was his own fault first. And in front of him, he was the person who had saved his life just now, so he immediately agreed.

"Okay, now let's move on." The commander saw that everyone else had packed their things, and then said.

The person who scolded Su Mengfan for being a fool just now immediately shouted, "Really, why do we have to come all the way to Medvedkvo Station at the end of Line 6-Kaluga-Riga to pick up that stinky boy." Really, I'm curious why the above would issue such a task. Come pick up a guy who's dragging his feet. ”

"Alright, Cage, say a word. Our mission this time is to pick up Alcohen. I also have to go to the Peace Avenue Station to hand over the mission. The commander stopped Cage's complaints.

"Let's go, bring your shields, and then we're going to the All-Russian Exhibition Center station. I heard that there is the only mushroom tea in the entire subway station, so let's go there and take a good rest. The commander finished.

The whole team set up a formation, Cage and the other members of the team walked in the front, and one person next to each side also knew that Su Mengfan was one of the goals of this mission, so they surrounded Su Mengfan in the middle. And the last commander of His Royal Highness.

The whole team immediately fell silent. It didn't take long to get to the railroad tracks.

Su Mengfan saw a car on the railroad tracks, how to say that it had four wheels, but there was no place to cover it, and there was something similar to a seesaw in the park in the middle.

Then the team got into the car one by one, and Cage and the other person held the two ends of the seesaw, and there were just enough people to sit on each side.

Then Su Mengfan sat next to him under the instructions of the commander.

Cage and the other man began to press the seesaw up and down regularly.

The commander told Su Mengfan that this car called "hand-cranked car" is currently the main means of travel in the subway, and it is convenient to drive, but it is very labor-intensive.

Then he stopped talking, and Su Mengfan looked at Cage's movements with another person, and it became boring.

All kinds of boring things began to fill Su Mengfan's thoughts.

The light in the Commander's hand shone like a pale yellow speck floating on the tunnel wall, licking at the damp floor and the surrounding walls.

The lamp was held a little farther away, and the light was lost in the darkness.

The darkness ahead greedily devoured the light of the portable flashlight, which could only illuminate the path within ten steps.

The wheels of the car creaked and grumbled in frustration, and Cage broke the silence with the gasps of another person.

They had already crossed the halfway point of the Botanical Gardens station, and the torches had long since been extinguished. They walked outside the territory of the All-Russian Exhibition Hall station.

The journey from the All-Russian Exhibition Station to the Botanical Garden Station is considered very dangerous.

I heard that there is a legendary dark clan in the botanical garden station, and those dark people are like dead soldiers who are not afraid of death, and they are not afraid of machine gun fire.

They marched straight and straight, as determined and calm as they had before they fired.

In the spotlight, you can see how the bullets are tearing at their smooth bodies.

The bullet hits them, and they are pushed backwards and even fall, but immediately they get up again, standing straight.

And the hoarse and ominous howl that came from the throat of the dark people made people lose their minds immediately when they heard it.

No soldier of any size, no matter how strong or mentally strong, could resist the howls of the Dark Clan.

Someone once thought that armor could protect against the howls of the dark people, so they armed themselves all over their bodies, even to the teeth.

Like a warrior, challenge the Dark Clan alone. Afterwards, there was no result.

The danger comes not only from the two directions of the tunnel – north or south – but also from the ventilation pipes overhead, the sealed doors between the utility rooms on both sides, or the branch of the tunnel to which the secret exit leads.

Even beneath them, danger remains: something terrifying is now lurking in the manhole abandoned by its predecessors.

At the time, they were left behind by the engineers who built the subway, and they were forgotten and ignored by those who maintained the operation of the subway before the disaster.

Danger lurks in the depths, and even the most reckless adventurer can feel irrational fear.

That's why the commander kept his lights on the wall, and the man sitting in the back of the caravan had his finger on the safety of the machine gun, ready to switch to firing mode and pull the trigger at any moment.

That's why they rarely talk as they move forward, and chatting weakens and interferes with their ability to listen to all odd sounds in the tunnel while breathing.

Su Mengfan heard from the commander that the Botanical Garden Station was only 1,000 meters away from the All-Russian Exhibition Center Station. But this short kilometer only takes three or four minutes to run normally, and the car doesn't even need a minute.

But now, it takes 10 minutes, no! Half an hour may not be passable.

At that moment, Cage stopped swinging the handle of the car, and the car slowly stopped.

The two people sitting opposite Su Mengfan didn't say anything, they immediately got up and took over the task of Cage and the others.

At this time, the commander stopped one of the people on the opposite side and asked Su Mengfan to pick it up, while the others were holding guns and were ready at any time.

Su Mengfan didn't say anything, and he wanted to be fresh, he had never operated this handcart in his previous life. I watched Cage's movements just now, and I also knew how the handcart operated.

picked it up, Cage looked at Su Mengfan with a provocative look, but Su Mengfan didn't say anything.

Su Mengfan held his hand on the handle of the hand-cranked car, and there was a burst of dampness when he started, and it was the sweat of the hands of the previous person, which was enough to prove that this was not an easy job.

At first, it was just a regular up and down, but it didn't take long.

Su Mengfan began to feel tired, he tried harder, the handle of the car rose and fell in a cycle, and the wheels turned round and round, which was really boring.

He looked up helplessly ahead, his mind filled with the heavy rhythm of the wheels.

As I had just thought in my head, and as I had just appeared in the world and suddenly faced myself with the smell of blood - the description of the dark - and the most common official description of the Moscow metro system - heavy.

He tried to figure out how to easily get to the All-Russian Exhibition Center, and he tried to make a plan.

But a burning sensation and exhaustion slowly spread through his muscles, up his bent legs, up his back, and then into his arms, all the complex thoughts in his mind hollowed out by fatigue.

Hot beads of sweat poured out of his head, starting as tiny beads of sweat that slowly ooze, slowly coalescing into large beads and rolling down his cheeks.

But even if the salty sweat stung his eyes, he didn't have a chance to wipe the sweat, because there was another person on the other side of the machine, and if Su Mengfan suddenly let go of the handle, he would put all the pressure on the other side.

The blood was hitting his eardrums more and more strongly, and Su Mengfan remembered that when he was a child, he liked to pose so that he could hear the sound of blood hitting his eardrums, because that sound reminded him of the footsteps of soldiers marching in formation.

When I was young, I dreamed of wearing a military uniform and defending the country. But because of the sudden car accident, it not only took away Su Mengfan's parents, but also took away Su Mengfan's original dream.

And now, under heavy pressure, if he closes his eyes, he can imagine himself as a master leading the parade. The faithful troops marched through the parade before his eyes, saluting him.

But it's just a matter of thinking about it.

Finally, without looking back, the commander said, "All right, guys. Go down, we've gone a long way, and there's less than two hundred meters left. ”

Su Mengfan and the person opposite exchanged glances, then let go of the handle and sat on the cushion. Even though they sat together, they didn't say a word to each other along the way.

The commander looked at them and said sympathetically, "Creamy ......"

"Yes, the cream is ......," Zhenya recognized.

The commander glanced at Zhenya and said no more.

And in these more than 100 meters, Su Mengfan didn't think about anything.

It passed quickly, and it would have been better if there was no liquid dripping down the pipe on his head and the cold wind blowing towards Su Mengfan's neck from time to time.

"Over there, who is it?" Suddenly, a beam of light appeared in front of Su Mengfan's eyes. His eyes narrowed subconsciously.

The commander complied, "We are merchants. ”

When the person on the other side heard it: "Merchant? What are you kidding, you're from the Botanical Gardens station? I guess I'm being lost in the dark people, but I've heard that the dark people like to do these things the most. ”

The commander sped up the speed at which the handle was pressed. After a while, he came to the man's side and pulled his ID out of his shirt.

And handed over to the patrol officers of the All-Russian Exhibition Center station. "This is my ID, and we're here to do something."

The patrol officer looked at the document, which was engraved with the seal of the Lufthansa Alliance. Then he said, "What are you Hansa League people doing?" It is also coming from the direction of Botanical Garden Station. ”

"We are the personnel of the Lufthansa Alliance who have been specially sent to search the ground for substances, and the protective shield is consumed on the ground so quickly that we have to come in from the Botanical Garden. Come here to exchange some supplies, and we'll go back after the exchange. The commander explained.

Su Mengfan didn't expect that his team belonged to the Hansa Alliance, but when he heard the commander's words, it was very different from his previous experience.

It felt that the commander was hiding something, and the people next to him didn't speak, and Su Mengfan wouldn't open his mouth to ask.

The commander communicated with the patrol officer for a while, and the patrol officer said, "Okay, then you can send one person to register at the gate at once." ”

The commander turned his head to look at Su Mengfan and the others.

At this moment, Cage in the back pushed Su Mengfan, and Su Mengfan stood in front of him.

Su Mengfan glanced back at Cage, opened his mouth to say something, and then closed it. Then he walked up to the commander.

Cage looked at Su Mengfan defiantly, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.
