"Yay. @*~~" Olmedo said,

"Expect to see us in the morning, so we don't waste time, so we go straight from here. As for accommodation, we will consult with Arkady Seminovich, he will not hurt you, as if he ...... No, he won't at all. ”

He fumbled into his pocket and pulled out an equally bloody note with the layout and keys on it.

"Take it, I have a backup myself. Who knows how things will turn out, don't show them to anyone......"

Olmedo and Tregak left less than an hour later, having spoken to the station master beforehand.

Arkady Semenovich, who was punctual on time, immediately took Su Mengfan to his tent, invited him to dinner in the evening, and let him rest first.

The location of the guests is a bit out of the way, although the conditions here are also very good, but Su Mengfan felt very uncomfortable inside from the beginning.

And since I came to this world, I have lived and rested in various environments.

But I don't know why here, I have an indescribable feeling here, I always feel slimy around me, a strange sticky feeling....

He glanced outside, reassuring that the other quarters were all clustered, all as far away from the entrance to the tunnel as possible.

When I arrived, I heard the residents of the subway station tell their children that if they didn't sleep well at night, monsters that looked like mice and looked like tigers would take the children away in the tunnel.

This statement can often frighten the faint of heart, and some can even be frightened to tears by the vivid stories from the mouths of the residents. At night, he huddled tightly under the quilt and didn't dare to move.

Su Mengfan has already seen the horror of the tunnel, even if he has the ability to "listen" that others don't have, but if he walks alone in the tunnel, he still won't feel safe, and sometimes he will even be frightened by the mysterious and long atmosphere.

Now that Olmedo is gone, Su Mengfan is alone in this strange station, and he has the same uneasy feeling as he was at Kiev Station, just scared, afraid without any reason.

It's not just the discomfort of the unfamiliar environment, but also the loneliness that involuntarily exudes from the inside out.

A feeling of loneliness that is helpless and can only face all the hardships and dangers alone.

It was already dark, the children's noise was gradually fading, and the adults only occasionally left their tents.

Even the patrol officers in the subway station have decreased, only the scattered people, and no familiar faces have appeared.

Su Mengfan didn't want to wander around the platform at all, and after he read Schaefer's letter three times, Su Mengfan couldn't bear it anymore.

I left here half an hour earlier than the agreed time and went to have dinner with Arkady 슷 Seminovich.

The reception room of the office has now been turned into a kitchen, and a beautiful girl works there, she is slightly older than Su Mengfan.

A large saucepan was stewed with meat and some vegetable roots, and next to it were some white plant tubers that he had eaten at Anton's.

The stationmaster himself sat on a small stool next to him, flipping through a worn-out pamphlet whose cover depicted a revolver and the legs of a woman wearing black ***.

While looking at it, the corners of his mouth are also slightly raised, as if he is reflecting his liking for the contents of the booklet.

Arkady Seminovich saw Su Mengfan and awkwardly put the book aside.

"It's too noisy here, yes." He smiled knowingly at the young man,

"Come with me to the office, Caterina will set the table there, and we'll have a drink for a while." He blinked,

Now the room with the carpet and skulls looked exactly the same as before, with an oil lamp on the table and a green lampshade on top of it, which was slightly more comfortable.

The tension that lingered on the platform for Su Mengfan disappeared without a trace under the light of this lamp.

Arkady Seminovich took out a small bottle from the cupboard, a brown liquid that emitted a gas that made people dizzy.

He poured the liquid into a distinctively round-bellied glass, just a tiny dot, the length of a finger.

Su Mengfan thought, this bottle must be better than him.

A full case of homemade beer at Ciudad Gomes station is expensive.

"A little brandy," Arkady Semenovich replied with his strange look,

"Armenia, of course, it's 30 years, cheers." The stationmaster dimly looked up at the ceiling.

"Don't be afraid, it's not poisonous, I've tested it with a dosimeter."

This unfamiliar drink has a strong aroma and a more suitable taste.

Su Mengfan didn't swallow it all at once, but tried to taste it, doing what his master did.

It was as if a fire was slowly rushing out from within his body, but it gradually cooled down again, turning into a pleasant and acceptable heat.

The room became more pleasant and Arkady Seminovich was lovelier.

"It's a strange thing," Su Mengfan said with a crooked eye and a satisfied evaluation.

"It's good, isn't it? About a year and a half ago, Olmedo found an intact grocery store in Krasnoplisniankaya. ”

The station master explained, "In a cellar, as they used to do before, the sign had fallen off and no one noticed it.

But one of us remembered that before, before it was ruined, sometimes he went inside to look at it, so he decided to check it again.

It's been there for many years and it's getting delicious. Because we knew each other, he sold me two bottles for 100 coins, while the Gomez city station sold 200 coins for a bottle. ”

He took another sip, then looked thoughtfully through the brandy at the light on the oil lamp.

"They called him Vasya, this Olmedo," the stationmaster told him,

"He's a good guy, not the kind of kid who chases and plays, but a very serious young man. He brought back all the good stuff.

As soon as he came back from above, he came to me first. And then he said, Seminovich, give you something new. Arkady Seminovich smiled weakly.

"What happened to him?" Su Mengfan asked.

"He liked Krasnoprisnika very much, and he kept repeating that there was the real Edorado," said Arkady Seminovich sadly,

"There's nothing quite like Karasi Mansion...... It's easy to see why it's there safe and sound...... The zoo is just across the road. Who exactly is going to poke their heads into it, in Krasnoplisanykaya?

That kind of fear...... He's desperate, Vasyataka, he's always adventurous. In the end, he got into trouble.

They dragged him into the zoo, and his accomplices just managed to escape. So, we toast to him. The stationmaster took a deep breath and poured a little more sprinkle for each of them.

Su Mengfan remembered this unusual and expensive brandy, and was about to refuse.

But Arkady 슷 Seminovich decisively put the round-bellied glass in his hand, explaining that if he refused, it would be an insult to the memory of the reckless Olmedo who got the sacred drink. @ 。
