It didn't take long for Su Mengfan to walk to the {Abdulkader Station} marked on the navigation map.

I plan to rest here for the night before setting off.

I saw that the passages on both sides of the platform were now all closed, and the door was not an ordinary door, but a solid iron door.

The same is true on the second floor, but there is a door that is still ajar, and behind it you can see a solid welded grid, like the window of {Hayabusa Station}, but the grid here is heavily reinforced.

Looking through the grid, I saw a table behind it, a small lamp shining faintly on it, and next to it sat an exhausted soldier dressed in gray and blue.

The soldier asked him to show his pass and said sharply: "No passage after 8 o'clock, the gate will open again at 6 a.m." Then he turned his face away, meaning that the conversation was over.

Su Mengfan was taken aback, why did the life of this station end as soon as it passed 8 o'clock in the evening?

What is he going to do now?

The wanderers who climbed back into the cardboard box also looked cold, and Su Mengfan didn't want to get close to them.

So, he decided to try his luck on the other side of the fire, which at the other end of the hall was emitting a faint light.

Even from a distance, it is possible to see that it is not a wanderer standing by the fire, but a border guard or similar guard.

Judging by the silhouette of the fire, they were all strong men, and, obviously, they were armed with automatic weapons.

But when he got closer, Su Mengfan noticed something else: a clear white light flashed from behind the fire, it seemed that the light was going up, but the range of the beam was too short, as if it had just been cut off.

The white light did not shine on the ceiling and disappeared after only a few meters up, which defied the general laws of physics.

The searchlight was rarely turned on, and it would only turn around at long intervals, which was probably the reason why Su Mengfan hadn't paid attention to it before.

What the hell is this thing?

He walked towards the firelight and politely greeted him, explaining that he was passing by and didn't know when the gate was closed, so he missed it.

He asked the patrol if he could take a break with them here.

"Take a break?" The man closest to him asked mockingly.

He is a man with fluffy black hair and a large plump nose, he is not tall, but he looks very strong.

"This is not a place to rest, kid, and it would be nice if you could make it until the next morning."

As for why it was so dangerous to sit next to the fire in the middle of the platform, the man did not give a single explanation, but turned and nodded in the direction of the searchlight.

The others were busy talking, and they didn't pay attention to Su Mengfan at all.

So Su Mengfan decided that he had to find out the truth, and he walked towards the searchlight—the scene there surprised him, but also gave answers to many questions.

At the end of the hall there is a small control room, as you can occasionally see near the escalators, which is responsible for delivering things to other lines.

A large number of sandbags were piled up around the control room, and then reinforced everywhere with a large number of iron plates.

One patrol officer was removing the lid from what appeared to be a very powerful weapon, while another sat in the control room.

It was the same upward-glowing searchlight mounted on top of the control room.

There are no baffles, no barriers, not even ropes upwards, and the first step of the escalator is behind the control room and then all the way to the ground.

It was where the searchlight line hit, and the light kept moving from one wall to the other, as if trying to find someone drowning in the darkness of the night.

But the light only shone in the shape of a brown lamp, and a large patch of damp ceiling with large pieces of plaster peeling.

Look further on...... If you look any further, you won't see anything.

Suddenly everything had an answer.

For some reason, the baffles that normally separate the station from the world on the ground are gone: the baffles on the platform and above the platform are gone.

{Abdulkader} is directly exposed to the outside world, and the people who live here find themselves constantly under the threat of being attacked.

They breathe polluted air and drink polluted water – which may be the reason why the water smells so weird......

That's why the number of mutations among young people here is higher than in other stations, such as the All-Russian Exhibition Centre.

This also explains why adults look so listless: their skulls are completely exposed to radiation, their bodies are exhausted and weakened, and these people are being eroded by radiation day after day.

But apparently not only that.

How do you explain the dead silence after 8 p.m. at the station?

And the black-haired man on duty next to the fire said that it is not easy to live in the morning, how to explain it?

Su Mengfan trembled and walked towards the man sitting in the control room.

The man greeted, "Good evening." ”

He was in his 50s, but he was quite bald, and the rest of his white hair was tangled around the sides of his head and the back of his neck.

His black eyes looked at Su Mengfan curiously, while his plain body armor with a belt covered his unbulging belly.

He has a pair of binoculars on his chest and a whistle.

He pointed to the nearest sandbag and said to Su Mengfan, "Please take a seat." Those guys over there were just having fun with themselves, leaving me alone here to die. Let's chat. ”

The two of them opened up the conversation in this way.

"You can see that we can't even do something decent." The attendant explained sadly, pointing to the huge crack leading to the escalator.

"We need cement, not iron. We've tried to patch it with iron, but it didn't work out well. In the fall, the rain washes all the dirty stuff down.

It was just repaired, and it was washed away again...... This was repeated several times, but many people persevered.

Since then, we've lived like this. It's just that the days here are not as stable as at other stations.

Our nerves are always on the edge: those bastards sneak in at night and come out of nowhere.

They don't bother us during the day because they're either asleep or hanging out on the ground. But after dark, the situation became truly desperate.

So, of course, we have to get used to it, after 8 o'clock, everyone hides in the passage, that's our living quarters, and most of the people who stay here are on guard.

Wait a minute......" he said as he stopped suddenly, gently flipped a switch on the console, and the searchlight suddenly brightened.

The conversation continued when the white light swept along the ceiling and walls one by one over the three escalators, finally extinguished.

The attendant lowered his voice, pointed to the ceiling and said, "Up there, is the Abdulkadr train station." It used to stand there, an unlucky place.

I don't even know where its orbit leads, only that something terrible is happening there right now.

Sometimes you can hear loud noises that frighten you. And then when they climb down......" he paused and continued a few minutes later.

"We call them new things, and these creatures climb down from them. They weren't so scary when they crawled out of the train station.

Well, but, sometimes, the stronger of them will cross the cordon, and do you see our train over there, the one that was forced off the tracks.

That's the closest place they've ever been, and we're not going to let them climb underneath, where women and children live.

If they climb underneath, our men will know what to do, and they will rush into the train and fight there, destroying some new gadgets that want to invade.

But as for themselves...... Go to ten, and only survive at most two.

One of the most recent monsters climbed to {Abdulkader Station} because he left a thick layer of slime in his pass.

Some people would have liked to track it down in the morning, but it crawled into a branch tunnel, and we didn't dare to chase it down, we had already suffered too much disaster. ”

Su Mengfan remembered: "I heard that no one has ever attacked {Abdulkader Station}, is this true?" ”

The attendant replied; "Of course, who is going to bother us? If we don't build fortifications here, the monsters will crawl out of here along the line and invade other metro stations.

No, no one will say a word to us.

The Lufthansa Alliance gave us almost all the teleportation channels all the way to the end of their bunker, and they gave us weapons so that we could protect them.

I tell you, they really love to let people do the dirty work for them! By the way, what's your name? My name is Mark. ”

Su Mengfan told him his name.

Mark continued: "Alcohen, take it, something seems to be moving there. He said as he quickly turned the searchlight back on.

After a minute, he said uncertainly, "No, I probably heard something." ”

Su Mengfan was swallowed up little by little by the sense of imminent danger.

He looked intently at the top as Mark had done, but there was only the shadow of a broken lamp.

Su Mengfan thought that he had discovered the evil and strange shadow, and hid motionless in the dazzling beam.

At first he thought it was imagination that had deceived him, but as the beam swept over it, a strange silhouette moved.

He said nervously, "Wait, you look into that corner, there's a big crack there, ...... quickly"

Somewhere, some way further than the middle of the escalator, seemingly far away, there was a massive, bony thing, as if pinned there by a beam of light, and it stood still for a moment and suddenly moved.

Mark grabbed the whistle that almost jumped out of his palm and blew it with all his might.

Soon, those who were sitting around the fire rushed over with speed and haste.

There's another searchlight there.

This monster looks a little weaker, but it's smart, and it carries a heavy machine gun like no other.

Su Mengfan had never seen a weapon like this: it had, a long barrel, a sleeve at the end, a belt shaped like a net, and the bullet moved in a shiny chain filled with oil.

"There, about 10 meters away!"

The lean, muscary man who had been sitting next to Mark searched for the new monster with his searchlight and said, "Give me the binoculars...... Reka! 10 meters away, on the right! ”

"There. Honey, let's all stay here and sit quietly," the gunner muttered as he aimed his weapon at the hidden black shadow, "I've locked on him!" ”
