Chapter 61: The Prophet

The crowd set off, heading towards the dark Southern Tunnel. They walked surprisingly slowly, as if they were affected by friction such as heavy media – they seemed to be walking in water.

However, Khan jumped off the platform with astonishing briskness, jumped onto the road, and with a quick jump of two steps, he was on the side of the crowd.

In one fell swoop, he knocked down the man who was leading Su Mengfan, grabbed Su Mengfan, and pulled his body back.

In Su Mengfan's opinion, all this seems to be in slow motion.

Seeing Khan come to his side, he was silently surprised for a while, Khan's movements seemed to take only a few seconds, and Su Mengfan saw the bearded man who was gently grabbing his shoulder and wearing a tarpaulin jacket fell hard to the ground.

But from the moment Khan intercepted him, time began to speed up, and people's reactions after hearing the sound seemed to Su Mengfan as fast as lightning.

The men pointed their guns at the Khan and walked towards the Khan.

Khan gently pushed Su Mengfan, and squeezed Su Mengfan to his side with one arm, allowing Su Mengfan to block his own body.

His other hand reached forward, holding Su Mengfan's new machine gun that shone faintly.

"Let's go," Khan said hoarsely.

"I don't want to kill you, you'll die in an hour anyway. Leave us alone and let's go," Khan said as he moved towards the middle of the station, and step by step, the figure of the hesitant crowd began to turn into a blurred silhouette and disappear into the darkness.

Su Mengfan heard a rush of noise, they might be helping the bearded man who had been knocked down by the Khan, and the people began to advance towards the tunnel entrance to the south.

They decided not to be with the khan anymore.

Only then did Khan put down his gun and suddenly ordered Su Mengfan to walk onto the platform.

"One more step, and I will be wounded for saving you, my young friend," said Khan with undisguised agitation.

Su Mengfan obediently climbed up.

Khan followed him, picked up his things, and he walked into the darkness.

Su Mengfan followed.

The hall is short, with a marble-walled cul-de-sac on the side of the car, and a strip of rolled iron in the gap in the right wall, which is the farthest you can see in the light of a flashlight.

Marble, yellowed by age, covers the station as a whole, with only three arches.

The staircase connecting this station to the Chesti-Prud station, which was renamed the Kirov regional station by the Red Army, is a wall of gray concrete blocks.

The station was very empty, there was nothing on the ground, no traces of humans, no rats, no cockroaches.

Su Mengfan looked around, he remembered his conversation with Bourbon, and confirmed that the rats were not afraid of anything, and if there were no rats in a place, then there must be something wrong there.

Khan grabbed him by the shoulders and walked briskly through the hall, Su Mengfan could feel Khan trembling, even through his jacket.

As they put their luggage on the edge of the platform, suddenly a faint light shone from behind, and Su Mengfan was once again surprised by his partner's quick reaction when he was in danger.

In an instant, the Khan stood on the ground. Look back in the direction of the light source.

The light wasn't very strong, but it shot straight into their eyes, making it difficult to see who was looking for them.

After a moment's delay, Su Mengfan also jumped back to the ground, he climbed to his backpack and took out the old weapon he had carried before.

The weapon is very heavy and inconvenient to use, but it has a perfect caliber of 7.62, and it is difficult for anyone who is shot to move again if there is such a hole in the body.

"What are you going to do?" Khan roared and said, Su Mengfan finally understood that if that person wanted to kill them, he would have already done it.

By the light of the flashlight and the line of sight of the gun, one could see the general situation: the man crouched helplessly on the ground.

Yes, if that guy wanted to kill Su Mengfan and Khan, they would have been lying in a pool of blood a long time ago.

"Don't shoot!" A voice shouted. "There's no need to ......"

"Turn off your flashlight!" Khan said he walked over to the cylinder to get his own flashlight.

Su Mengfan held his weapon firmly, and flashed to the side, stepping out of the light and hiding behind an arch.

If someone wanted to shoot, he could kill that person instantly.

But as soon as the Khan's order was given, the stranger did so.

"Good!" Khan said, "Now put your weapons on the ground!" His voice was a little less nervous.

Su Mengfan heard the sound of metal falling on the granite floor.

And kept aiming the gun at the stranger's weapon, watching the man slowly walk out and appear in the hall.

Su Mengfan calculated accurately—fifteen steps ahead of him, by the reflection of the flashlight's light on the arch, he could see the stranger clearly: it turned out to be the bearded man who had caused the conflict at {Sukharev Station}.

"Don't shoot," the bearded man said again in a trembling voice.

"I didn't intend to attack you. I decided to go with you. You said anyone who wants to come can come...... I...... I believe in you," the bearded man said to the Khan.

"I also have a feeling that something is going to happen over there, the tunnel on the right. The people have already set off, they have gone, but I have stayed, and I want to go with you. ”

"Enlightenment is good," Khan said, looking at the guy deliberately.

"But my friend, I can't trust you, who knows why." He added mockingly.

"We will consider your suggestion on the condition that you give me your weapon and that you walk ahead of us in the tunnel. If you want to play any tricks, you won't end well. ”

The bearded man kicked his gun at the Khan, carefully placing a spare bullet aside.

Su Mengfan picked them up from the ground and approached him with a gun.

"I've got him!" Su Mengfan shouted.

"Hands up!" Khan shouted, "Jump on the path, quick." Stand there with your back to us! ”

Two minutes after entering the tunnel, they walked into a narrow triangular terrain - a bearded man named Ace, walking five steps ahead of Khan and Su Mengfan.

As the three of them walked, they suddenly heard a dull scream, but it seemed to stop as soon as it came out......

Ace was so frightened that he looked back at them, forgetting to even point his flashlight at them.

The flashlight trembled in his hand, shining on his cavity from below to upward, becoming a terrifying grimace, which was more terrifying to Su Mengfan than hearing the screams.

"Yes," Khan nodded, "they made the wrong choice, but I think time will tell if we're wrong too." ”

They moved on.

Su Mengfan looked at his protector from time to time, and he noticed that Khan was getting more and more tired, his hands were trembling slightly, his steps were unsteady, and large drops of sweat had gathered on his face.

And they haven't gone far yet......

Obviously, this road is more tiring for him than for Su Mengfan.

Su Mengfan thought about what was draining his companion's strength, and the young man couldn't help but think that Khan seemed to be right in this situation, and he saved Su Mengfan again.

If Su Mengfan followed the convoy towards the tunnel on the right, he would definitely be dead and had disappeared without a trace.

But there were a lot of people over there - at least six.

Has that ironclad law worked?

Khan knew it long ago - he knew it earlier!

Whether that's a hunch or the magic of a "navigation map...... It seems comical, a little ink on paper is magic.

Did that rotten piece of paper really save them?

However, the route from {Sukharev station} to {setayehu station} used to be orange, absolutely orange. Is it really going black?

"What is this?" Ace stopped abruptly and asked the Khan uneasily.

"Do you feel it? ...... from behind"

Su Mengfan looked at the bearded man suspiciously, wanting to sarcastically mock his irritated nerves, because he himself didn't feel anything at all.

The heaviness of oppression and danger had disappeared from the moment they left {Sukharev Station}, but to his surprise Su Mengfan, the Khan froze there, motioned for them to be quiet, and turned his face in the direction they were coming.

"What a keen feeling!" Khan said half a minute later.

"We admire it, like a queen," and added some reasons.

"If we get out of here, we're going to have to discuss this carefully. Didn't you hear anything? Khan asked Su Mengfan.

"No, everything seems to be quiet," Su Mengfan listened and replied.

At this time, his heart was full of various emotions......

Eat one's heart out?

Offend?

Wrath?

How could his protector say this about the bearded man who had threatened their lives two hours earlier?

"You're right," Su Mengfan said to Ace, confirming the man's suspicions.

"Something's coming this way. We have to move fast. The Khan listened again, sniffing like a wolf.

"It came from behind us like a wave, and we had to run! If it covers us, then it's game over," said Khan, and began to sprint away.

Su Mengfan had to follow the khan and hurriedly walked forward, he almost ran so as not to be left behind.

Ace was now walking side by side with them quickly, moving his short legs quickly, panting.

They had been running like this for ten minutes, but Su Mengfan still couldn't understand why they were in such a hurry to make themselves out of breath, he remembered that the tunnel behind him was empty and clean, and he might stumble on the crossbar if he ran like this, why did he run?

There is no evidence of who they are being chased by.

But ten minutes later, Su Mengfan also felt it, it was indeed chasing them, chasing them step by step with difficulty—it was something black, not a wave, but more like a whirlwind—a black whirlwind, cutting off their tranquility......

If it catches up with them, then what awaits them will be the same fate as the other six other men and the other adventurous fools who enter the tunnel alone at deadly time.

A devilish wind rages and can take anything alive.

This speculation and vague understanding quickly swept through Su Mengfan's mind, and he glanced at Khan anxiously.

Khan looked back and understood everything.
