Chapter 008: The Way Out (Part II)
"Where did all this come from? Climbed to the tree to pick it? Someone asked.
"How is it possible, I picked it up over there, and a lot of it fell on the ground." They pointed into the distance.
"We've talked to some locals just now, and a lot of them are ready to leave here, and they are just as uneasy about the environment." Someone sighed.
"What is the situation now, haven't the relevant departments been talking about investigation? Is this a change of events good or bad? ”
Some people were very agitated.
The train had stopped here for a long time, and until now, the conductor had not told them what was going on.
In the carriage, Chen Bao walked in and said softly: "Brother, there has been no accident on this line for many years, and what happened today is too strange." ”
In the end, he also put away his joking mentality and became rarely serious.
"Well, I hope I'll go home soon." Jiang Ming nodded.
Finally, two hours later, in the midst of everyone's annoyance and complaints, the train started again and headed for its destination.
During this time, the ancient red maple tree became stronger and stronger, and some nearby trees were also growing wildly, with intertwined roots, several of which were so thick that they broke the concrete floor.
In other places, those old roots have deviated from the top of the track, and the construction workers along the way are urgently correcting.
"God forbid, we can leave." In the carriage, a pair of old men clasped each other's palms and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
......
The train is running on the tracks at great speed, very smoothly, but people's hearts cannot be calmed down for a long time.
Time passed little by little, and the train didn't know where it was going.
Suddenly, dark clouds rolled outside, a thunderbolt fell, and it rained heavily.
Outside, lightning and thunder roared, and the wind carried the torrential rain, and even the vision outside the window was blurred.
For a moment, the area was completely dark, but fortunately they were all on the train, and with the current technology, a storm like this could not stop the train from passing.
No one knows exactly what will happen along the way, and this kind of unknown is the most terrifying thing in people's eyes.
The carriage fell silent, and many people looked at the communicator in their hands, wanting to get what they wanted from some of the latest news updates.
However, this is destined to disappoint them, and the relevant departments have not given a clear answer.
However, there have been a lot of unusual news reports in various places, and some people have found that the river that has been cut off for decades has been filled with water again, and sweet springs have suddenly emerged from the dry wells that have been dry for a century.
"Not long ago, someone released news that there is a golden glow flowing on the golden summit of Mount Emei, I don't know if it's true or fake?" Someone wondered.
It is a Buddhist resort and has an extraordinary status, but according to the comments on the communicators, most people do not believe it.
After experiencing something unusual, many people on the train were skeptical.
Subsequently, there were reports that the waves in the East China Sea were monstrous, the sea surface was vast, and the blue light was shining, like an underwater fairyland.
This has sparked speculation and discussion.
"Oh my God, look there, what's shining?"
After a long time, the train finally passed through the stormy field, but it was already dark and shrouded in darkness outside.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, and through the car window, he saw a huge ball of light in the sky outside.
Now, the whole world is pitch black, and only there is a blazing light, shining brightly, illuminating all the voids.
In people's eyes, the crystalline particles in the body of the light source are constantly whistling and flying, floating in the sky, like dandelions sowing seeds, falling to the eight wildernesses of heaven and earth.
In the carriage, many people were short of breath and looked completely stunned, this scene was very strange, making people feel flustered, it was incredible!
When the particles were sprinkled in the sky, in the darkness, the light source slowly disappeared, as if it had merged into the void.
All this happened very quickly, but it was done in a few breaths, until the train was far away, and people were still in a state of distraction.
And Jiang Ming was also stunned, thinking a lot along the way.
"Brother, hit me, harder, let me see if I'm in an eternal nightmare!" Chen Bao suddenly interrupted Jiang Ming's thoughts.
Syllable!
Inside the carriage, a sound sounded, even just listening to it, it made people feel pain.
"Oh, it hurts uncle, Made! I'm just casually polite, why are you this guy serious, and still working so hard?! ”
Chen Bao suddenly exclaimed in pain and looked at Jiang Ming with an aggrieved expression.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming's back was sweating, and people who didn't know thought he was bullying this guy!
Chen Bao looked at Jiang Ming with a murderous expression, gritting his teeth and constantly rubbing his arms.
Jiang Ming could only spread his hands helplessly, as if he was saying that you asked me to smoke it, and it was none of my business.
Half an hour later, there was new information about the plants suspended in space, which were clear photos taken by satellites, which were reported at home and abroad.
The trees are extremely fast-growing, and botanists have confirmed that they belong to species on Earth, and those species can be found on the ground.
How can they grow high in the air and levitate there? So far, there has been no explanation from the relevant parties.
Snort!
With the sound of grinding against the rails, the train stopped again.
Here, it is a barren mountain, there are no lights on either side, and occasionally the roar of wild beasts can be heard in the barren mountains and forests.
People are scared, but they can feel a little more at ease in the train.
Soon, a flight attendant came to inform them of the reason for stopping in time.
"Dear passengers and friends, I am very sorry that there is another problem with the current train line, and the tracks in some places have been off the track, resulting in the temporary impassability of the train."
"What?" There was an uproar in the train, and everyone panicked.
The purser and several crew members patiently calmed the crowd and informed them that emergency maintenance was underway ahead, and the train crew must ensure that the line is safe enough before continuing to run.
"Son, have you arrived? I'll be at home with your dad waiting for you to come back. ”
At this time, there was a vibration in Jiang Ming's pocket, and after taking out the communicator, it was her mother who was contacting him, and now all parties were abnormal, and Jiang Ming had not returned for a long time, which made them very worried.
"Kid, where are you, a lot of people are saying it's incredibly dangerous out there right now."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, you and Dad rest early, you can see me the moment you wake up tomorrow and open your eyes."
...
"You are also a big man, you have to pay more attention to safety when you are out alone, I will cook at home with your mother and wait for you to come back!"
After comforting his parents, Jiang Ming put down the communicator in his hand again, and his parents' concern made him unusually warm on this cold night.
At this time, many people in the carriage are contacting their families, and there are various signs that there is no peace in all parts of the country, and they also hope to return to their families safely.
In fact, if it weren't for the huge delay along the way, according to the current level of trains, it would have been a long time ago to reach the terminal station.
At night, people were restless and couldn't sleep, and they were all talking quietly from their seats.
It wasn't until late at night, when someone couldn't hold on and began to feel sleepy, that the carriage gradually returned to calm.
Jiang Ming stood at the entrance of the aisle, staring out the window, it was pitch black outside, there was not even starlight, and he looked a little cold and terrifying.
Thundered!
In the middle of the night, the earth suddenly shook violently, and the whole train shook, and everyone was awakened, all looking at each other nervously.
In the carriage, the lights flickered on and off, and many people turned pale and looked frightened.
No one knows what's going on outside, only that the train was jolting just now, and some people were injured because of it!
There was nothing to see outside, and the boundless darkness swept over the land, and there was no extra light, and many people were curled up in their seats, shivering.
The temperature in the carriage is suitable, and at this moment, I don't know if it's because of late autumn or if people have a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Bang bang bang!
Soon, something fell and slammed down, shaking the mountains.
Even, the train was hit, some people looked overhead, the body was smashed and deformed, but fortunately the material was strong enough not to be smashed through.
At the same time, the loud noise also alarmed the birds and beasts in the barren mountains, and they woke up from their slumber one by one, and kept roaring in the darkness.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on out there?"
"I don't know, we're like animals trapped in cages, and we don't know anything about the outside!"
The carriage was full of screams and panic.
Even, some people speculate whether some monster has descended!
As soon as these words came out, the whole train became even more chaotic and noisy.
"Everyone, be quiet, don't mess around yet!" Jiang Ming kept looking out the window, turned around and said coldly.
Now the crowd is agitated and jumping around, and if it is not stopped, it is easy to cause injuries.
"That's... My communicator doesn't work, can any of you lend me a little bit to use it, I want to say a few words to my boyfriend. A young-looking woman shuddered.
"Use mine, don't think about it, we'll all be able to return home safely!" Chen Bao didn't think much about it, and directly handed his communicator to the other party.
Jiang Ming glanced at the woman, although she was not particularly beautiful, she belonged to the type of delicate and durable.
Although the delicate-looking woman was very scared at the moment, she still squeezed out a smile at Chen Bao very reluctantly.
Toot toot...
As soon as the communicator was dialed out, it was forcibly terminated.
"That's... Your communicator won't work either. Suddenly, the woman said with a bitter face.
Chen Bao looked surprised, took the communicator, and found that there was indeed no signal, and then he motioned to Jiang Ming to try his own.
Jiang Ming frowned and took out his communicator, the result was the same, he couldn't get in touch with the outside world!
What's the situation? There are people who do not believe in evil attempts.
"Damn, what's going on, mine can't be used."
"I'm the same, I've been in touch with my family before."
"Could it be that something just fell that interfered with the signal?" Someone stood up and said that it would stabilize everyone's emotions.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were cold, as if they were isolated from the world.
"Let's just run away together." Someone suggested.
But it was quickly rejected by everyone, because it was too dark outside, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I didn't know what unknown danger was lurking.
Even if you have to make another plan, you can only wait for dawn.
Something like this happened, and no one was in the mood to sleep anymore.
The night was long, and everyone gathered together in anticipation of an early dawn.
Thankfully, nothing else happened in the second half of the night.
In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and it was foggy outside, and the white expanse covered the mountains completely.
"You can see a little more clearly, let's go out and have a look?" Jiang Ming looked at Chen Baodao.
"Don't, what if there's danger!" Chen Bao pulled him and shook his head vigorously.
"I think it's going to be fine, if something should have happened a long time ago." Jiang Ming said.
In the end, Jiang Ming and Chen Bao and a few young people decided to get out of the car to see what was going on.
Outside, the fog was thick, the visibility was very low, and it was impossible to see clearly from a few meters, it was really a little strange, from childhood to adulthood, Jiang Ming had never seen such a big fog.
In the wilderness, the terrain is open and very quiet, not even the sound of insects and birds.
"Oh my God, it's a meteorite fragment!" Suddenly, a young man's cry came from the fog, with shock.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming and several others rushed over in the direction of the sound, and in front of them was a meteorite more than ten meters long, which fell down, smashing the ground into a huge crater.
Moreover, the surrounding ground was cratered and devastated, and there were other craters in which other meteorite fragments were also buried.
Suddenly, several people all understood, the earth shook one after another last night, and those that fell down were the meteorite fragments in front of them.
Moreover, more than one piece of debris hit the train, and sure enough, several people followed the train and found a meteorite falling on the sunken roof.
Fortunately, those meteorite fragments are not large, and if they were replaced with relatively large fragments, I don't know how many casualties they would cause.
