Su Mengfan took advantage of their confusion and rushed into an archway, not hoping to escape the catastrophe again, but only instinctively tried to postpone his death.

He didn't have the slightest chance to deal with them in the alley, but the way back to the Garden Loop had been cut off.

He stopped in the middle of an empty square, next to the wall of the house, with arches and passages to be seen.

The dim castle, which had also impressed Su Mengfan on the Garden Loop, rose into the sky behind the building, and the building was right in front of him.

Su Mengfan finally let go of his gaze on it and saw what was written on the wall opposite the building: "Moscow Metro No. 6".

and further down the "Smolens" station, with tall oak doors ajar.

It's hard to say how he could escape from them.

Su Mengfan had a premonition of danger, and the light air currents gave him the feeling that a carnivore was approaching him.

The beast approached him half a meter.

He shook to the side, suddenly ran up, and rushed to the entrance of the subway with all his strength.

Su Mengfan's home is there, that is his world, and he will become the master of the situation underground.

The antechamber of Smolensis Station looked just as Su Mengfan had expected: dim, dark, and empty.

It became clear to him at once that the people of this station often came to the surface: the ticket windows and office facilities were open, they were robbed, and everything useful had been moved underground many years ago.

Gone are the turnstiles and the employees' control rooms – their cement foundations are just a reflection of what it used to be.

The arch of the tunnel was lost somewhere in the middle of the front, and Su Mengfan couldn't be sure that there was really an entrance there.

But he couldn't stop: the beasts had already burrowed into the antechamber.

Su Mengfan knew the situation because he heard the door creaking.

In a few seconds, they would reach the escalator, and at that point, Su Mengfan's only slight chance now would be gone.

Su Mengfan clumsily stepped on the swaying slotted steps and began to walk down.

He tried to jump a few steps, but his foot hit the damp covering, and he fell down, hitting his head on the corner.

He wore a helmet and hit his skinny back about ten steps before he managed to stop.

Su Mengfan searched the road section behind him with a flashlight, and found what he was looking for and afraid to find:

A dark image of stillness. As is their custom, they stand still before attacking, studying the situation or silently deliberating.

Su Mengfan turned around and tried to jump two steps again.

This time things were better for him, holding a flashlight in his left hand, sliding his right hand along the rubber cover of the armrest, and running for another twenty seconds before he fell again.

He heard a heavy trampling sound behind him.

The monsters made up their minds.

Su Mengfan was full of hope that the old steps would collapse because they could not bear the weight of the monster, and the steps creaked unfortunately under his lighter weight.

But the click of the shadows proved that the elevator could withstand the load well.

A brick wall with a gate in the middle appears in the beam of his flashlight.

Now the brick wall is only about twenty meters left, and it has not grown any longer.

Su Mengfan stood up with difficulty and walked the last part of the journey in fifteen seconds.

It looks like an eternity.

The door was made of steel plates, and it resonated like a bell under the blow of his fist.

Su Mengfan used all his strength to hit it hard.

The shadows that he saw in the middle of the darkness were approaching, irritating him.

It took him a few seconds to realize that a cool air had taken over him, and that he had just made a terrible mistake:

He did not knock on the door according to the pre-agreed code, but only alerted the guards.

Now the most likely scenario is that the door won't open anyway.

It doesn't matter who's trying to get in.

And the sun has already risen, and the chances of opening the door are even less.

It's just that what is the pre-agreed cipher? Is it three "fast", three "slow" and three "fast"?

Absolutely not, it was a radio emergency call signal.

It is true that there are "threes" at the beginning and "threes" at the end, but he can no longer recall whether it is "fast" or "slow".

If he was going to try it now, he could give up all hope of getting in.

It is best to use a radio emergency call signal......

At least then the guards would know that someone was on the other side of the door.

Su Mengfan slammed the steel plate again and took it off his shoulder and rushed. Sharpened the gun, and changed the magazine with a trembling hand.

Then he shone the light on the barrel of the gun and nervously looked at the outline of the arch that extended upwards.

The long shadows from the surviving lamps obscured each other under the flickering pillars of light of the flashlight, and it was impossible to ensure that the dark silhouette did not lurk among them......

As before, the other side of the iron gate was completely silent.

Su Mengfan thought to himself, God, this is really not {Smolenses Station}.

Maybe this entrance was blocked decades ago and no one has used it since?

He came here by complete accident and did not follow the commander's instructions at all.

Or maybe he's wrong!

The steps creaked and were very close to him, about fifteen meters away.

Su Mengfan couldn't stand it anymore, and he snorted with a machine gun in the direction where the voice came from.

The reverberation made Su Mengfan's ears hurt.

But no sound like the roar of a wounded beast was heard.

Bullets are wasted.

Su Mengfan didn't have the courage to look elsewhere, he leaned back against the door and began to smash the iron door with his fist again:

Three "fast", three "slow" and three "fast".

He felt like he heard the grinding of heavy metal on the door.

But at that moment, the silhouette of a carnivore flew out of the shadows at an alarming speed.

Su Mengfan picked up the chong that he held in his right hand. The sharp gun, and the moment he instinctively stepped back, he almost accidentally pulled the trigger.

The bullet swept up the body of the monster in the air, and it didn't grab Su Mengfan's throat, but fell on the last few steps of the escalator without flying two meters.

But after only a few moments it stood up, and walked forward, ignoring the blood that burst from the wound.

Then, it staggered forward again, knocking Su Mengfan down on the cold iron plate of the door.

It couldn't attack anymore: the last bullet hit it in the head, and the beast was dead after pounced.

But the inertia of its body was enough to crush Su Mengfan's skull, and he was not wearing a helmet now......

The door opened, and a bright white light entered.

There was a terrible roar from the escalator: judging by the sound, there were more than five beasts there.

Someone's strong hand grabbed him by the collar and pulled him inside, while the metal changed again.

They closed the door, and the door stopped it.

The man close to him asked, "Are you hurt?" ”

Another replied, "He doesn't know!" Do you see who he is carrying? We didn't scare them off last time, even though we only used gas then. ”

A familiar man said, "Leave him alone." He's someone I know. Alcohen! Hey, Alcohen! Wake up! Su Mengfan opened his eyes with difficulty.

Three men leaned over to him.

Two of them resembled the doormen, they wore black-and-gray coats, knitted hats, and both also wore bulletproof vests.

Su Mengfan was relieved, and he recognized the third person as the employee who had asked him to sign the contract.

One of the guards asked with a little disappointment, "Is this him, or what?" Then take him with you, but don't forget to isolate him and decontaminate him. ”

The employee grinned and said, "Is there anything else to say?" ”

He said, "Alcohen, you stand up. It's been a long time. And put his hand on him.

Su Mengfan tried to stand up, but his legs did not cooperate. He swayed and began to feel nauseous and dizzy.

The employee ordered, "We have to take him to the hospital." You're here to help me, and you, close the pressure door. ”

……

When the doctor examined him, Su Mengfan looked at the white tiles in the operating room.

It is neat and bright, with a strong smell of bleach in the air, and several fluorescent lights fixed directly below the ceiling.

There were also some operating tables and a box of prepared instruments, all of which hung next to each other.

The condition of this small hospital is very good, but Su Mengfan does not know why the peaceful {Smolensks Station} needs it.

The doctor said, "It's not broken, it's just swollen." There were also a few scratches. We've detoxified them. The doctor wiped his hands with a towel from Qianjing.

The employee asked the doctor, "Can you leave us alone for a while?" I'd like to talk to him about something alone. ”

The doctor nodded tacitly and left.

The employee sat on the edge of the couch where Su Mengfan was lying and asked for details of what happened.

Su Mengfan deduced that he would show up at {Smolenks} two hours early.

The employee heard the end of the story about the hunt, but was not particularly interested, and he called the flying monster "Pterodactyl" in a dictionary word.

But only the story of how Su Mengfan hid himself at the front door really impressed him.

The employee frowned when he learned that there was a monster crawling down the steps while Su Mengfan was sitting in the apartment in hiding.

He shook his head, "Are you sure you didn't step on the slime on the steps?" Hopefully God didn't let you bring that into the station. ”

The employee stood up and walked to the entrance, where Su Mengfan's boots were left behind, and he meticulously inspected each one.

He didn't find anything suspicious and put them back.

"And how is your companion?" Su Mengfan told him the whole story from beginning to end.

This time it is a candid account of how Thatch died.

Employees were frightened. "It's better that only you know," he said. Frankly, I prefer the first version. The second version will invite a lot of questions from the Brahmins.

At this time, a soldier came over and whispered a few words in the employee's ear.

After the employee listened, he said to Su Mengfan, "Those Brahmin people are here, they are really flies that smell fish, and the news will be so timely."

I warn you, if they ask, you'd better blame the death of your Thatch buddies on the monsters of {Librarian}.

If you say the wrong thing, don't want to know what you're asking for. With that, he followed the soldier and left.
