Chapter Ninety-Four: Lying
Anton glanced at the others and said, "They say it collapsed on its own. These designs are poor, or the building materials have been stolen, or for some other reason. But it was a long time ago, and no one can remember it exactly."
One of the guards said, "I've heard that the local authorities blew up those two lines in competition with Victory Park or for other reasons...... Probably they are harmful to the park and will conquer them over time.
Here in Kiev station, then you yourself know who is in command...... Who traded fruit in the market in the early days? People who feel hot are used to disassembling things.
A box of explosives in this tunnel, a box of explosives from their station in the distance, blew up. There was no bloodshed, and the problem was solved."
Su Mengfan was curious. "We just don't understand that we were already here......
Anton was just starting, but the guard who spoke interrupted him and said, "So what happens? All of them died.
You have to understand that you won't survive long after the station is cut off from the subway. The filter stops running, or the generator is generated, or it starts flooding.
You don't have the conditions to come to the surface right now. I heard, at first they heard screams coming from the pipes...... But then I didn't hear it."
He coughed and reached for the stove.
The vigilant team warmed their hands, looked at Su Mengfan and said, "It's not because of the war at all. Fighting, unlike people who fight, they bring women, children, and elderly people...... The whole city.
For what? Quite simply, they don't give away any money, as if they don't kill people themselves, come on. You just asked, 'What's there, right next to the blockage?' "。
Let me tell you what's there? There is death. Death's door is not something to be said casually."
Anton shook his head, but didn't say anything.
Olmedo looked at Su Mengfan attentively, almost opening his mouth, as if he wanted to add something to the story he heard, but he had a second thought.
Su Mengfan felt really cold, and he also stretched out his hand to the stove.
He tried to imagine what it would mean to live at this station, and the local residents believed that the tracks that stretched out of their homes led directly to the Land of the Dead.
Su Mengfan gradually began to understand that the duty in this broken tunnel was not necessary, and it was more like a routine.
Who are they sitting here to scare away?
Who can they stop from coming to this station and the rest of the subway?
It was getting colder now, and neither the cast-iron stove nor the padded jacket Olmedo had given him could keep him out.
And Olmedo unexpectedly turned to the tunnel leading to Kiev station and got up from his seat to take a look.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Su Mengfan also understood what the reason was.
A quick, soft voice came from there, and the faint glow of the flashlight disappeared in the distance, as if someone had jumped over the sleepers and hurried towards them with all their might.
Olmedo jumped up from his seat and stuck to the wall, aiming his submachine gun at the bright spot.
Anton calmly stood up and stared at the movement in the darkness, and from his relaxed posture, it was clear that there would be no major danger on the other side of the tunnel.
Olmedo flicked the switch on the flashlight, and the black thing reluctantly crawled away.
About thirty feet away from them, in the middle of the trackbed, a small figure stood motionless with his hands raised, and it was the voice of a child:
"Daddy, Daddy, it's me, don't shoot!"
Olmedo shone the beam in that direction, shook his body, and stood up from the ground.
The child stood by the stove for a minute, looking at his boots in embarrassment.
He was the son of Anton, the one who asked to go on duty with him.
His father asked worriedly, "Is something wrong?"
"No...... I just really want to be with you, I'm no longer a want
The little boy who was sitting in the tent with his mother."
"How did you get here? Are there guards over there?"
"I lied, I said, my mother sent me to see you, he is Uncle Petya, he knows me. He only said that I should not look at any side road, and that I should come here quickly, and he let me pass."
Anton solemnly promised, "We will talk to Uncle Petya again, you think carefully about how to explain this matter to your mother, I will not let you go back alone."
The boy couldn't contain his joy and jumped, "Can I stay with you?"
Anton moved to the side and sat his son on the warm bag. t.
He took off his coat and was about to wrap him, but the boy immediately crawled to the floor, took something out of his pocket, and sprinkled it on a piece of cloth, which was a handful of bullet casings and a few other things.
He sat down next to Su Mengfan, who stretched out his head to check all these things.
A small metal box with a turning handle is the most interesting.
When Oleg holds it in one hand and turns the handle with his fingers, the small box makes a crisp metallic sound and begins to play a simple mechanical tune.
It's like a clockwork music box that I played with when I was a kid.
It's fun to lean it against something else, because then it starts to resonate and amplifies the sound many times over.
The resonance is best from a pig iron stove, but it is impossible to leave that device by the stove for a long time as it will get hot very quickly.
Su Mengfan began to find it so interesting that he decided to try it himself.
The boy said, "What can you do?" He gave him the hot box, blowing on his burned fingers.
He sinisterly promised, "I'll show you a trick later," and half an hour passed slowly.
Su Mengfan didn't see the angry glances of the vigilantes, and kept turning the handle to listen to the music, Olmedo whispered something to Anton, and the child was playing with his bullet casings on the floor.
Although the tune of the small music box is very single, Su Mengfan has been there to insist on reveling, and he just can't stop.
Olmedo said, "No, I don't understand." He got up from his seat.
"If both tunnels are abandoned and guarded, where do you think they can disappear?"
Anton looked him up and down and said, "Who says it's all in these tunnels? There are access roads to other lines, there are two in total. There is also a line to Smolink station...... I think someone is taking advantage of our fans. Letter. Think. I want to."
The substitute who told them about blowing up the tunnel and the people left behind on the other side interjected, "What a mystery. Letter. Think. I want to!"
Anton interrupted him unhappily: "The curse on our station will end with Victory Park, and we who live in it will be cursed...... Sanich is muddying the waters."
"People here are asking big things, and you're spreading your story!"
Ormedo said to him, "Let's take a walk, I see some doors along the road and a side exit, I want to take a look"
