Chapter 29: Poor Big Dog
ββββDon't block my sun, I don't want to be buried deep in the dirt, I don't want to be humble as dust, and I don't want to doubt death and new life every moment of my life.
The black hole stretches forward, and the forked road stretches in the distance, like a road to a different world.
Quiet, isolated silence, only the sound of ticking water and dripping stones, constantly reverberating.
It's like a ruined dungeon.
People built it because they needed it, and they gave it up because they hesitated, and it has been lonely and silent, forgotten by generations of people.
The world on earth is always noisy, and the world below is full of misery.
In the new time, the society is constantly moving forward, and the past time has come to a standstill, shrinking in an inconspicuous corner, and there is no chance to get out of the original dream.
"How long has this place been deserted?"
"Fifty years."
"At that time, there was no me in the world."
"Neither me."
"Why do you suddenly remember this line again?"
"Let's waste renovate, the surrounding economy needs to be driven, and the dense population will be transferred to the edge of the city."
"There's something weird here today."
"It's cold, it's damp, it's not alive, it's not daytime, it's full of people."
"When is the morning train coming?"
"Ten minutes to go."
β¦β¦
In the south of Z City, the sun has just risen, but the streets and alleys have become lively.
This is not the center of the city, if the city had not expanded, there would be only vegetable farmers and land here, and the white-collar workers and elites who were well-dressed would never have appeared here.
The north of the city has always been highly sought after, housing prices and prices remain high, the government has no choice but to relocate some enterprises in the south of the city, more people are employed, transportation has become a problem, the ground is overcrowded, people miss the unimpeded underground flow.
As a result, a subway line that had been abandoned for 50 years returned to the public's view.
All this came very suddenly, for the fifty-year-old subway station, after a long and hopeless lonely wait, ushered in a new life is only a moment.
In the morning rush hour, all the people sitting on the subway felt a violent bump, followed by the emergency braking of the vehicle, and fell half of the box.
Fortunately, this subway is crowded every day, and there are a very small number of people who are just crowded in mid-air like meat buns with inertia.
"What are you eating! I can't even drive the car! β
"It's annoying! I'm going to be late for work again! β
Many people curse the failure of the subway, and they will not understand the hard work of the subway every day with such a large number of passengers.
Two minutes later, the subway resumed operation, and the passengers' complaints disappeared.
On this day, almost every car will feel a bump when passing through the station, and everyone will not know why.
Due to the huge flow of people, the subway staff are too busy to take care of it.
Later, the jolting was gone, and everyone thought it hadn't happened.
A small thing, for a struggling office worker, is not enough to remember.
Late at night, after the last subway was suspended, Li Kai and Chen Fenfen, who were on duty, checked the situation along the road together.
The flashlight light is staggered, and the shadows reflected are very long.
"Such an old subway line, it's been running again for a week, and it's in good condition."
"Yes, yes, but today there is feedback that the track is seriously bumpy, and I don't know if the equipment is faulty."
"What's that?"
On the track, a rag-like thing was lying on its stomach softly, illuminated by the light of the flashlight, and it still had some crystal luster.
"It smells weird." Chen Zhan covered his nose.
Li Kai sniffed, "The smell of rust." β
"No, the wind is blowing, and the smell is stronger." Chen Zhan stepped forward, retreated in shock, and fell heavily to the ground.
Li Kai pulled him up, he grinned, his eyes wide.
He was scared, he couldn't shout, his voice was scared back.
"Look at your guts." Li Kai stepped forward and gasped.
Horrific images always appear without warning.
What's that?
A life that was once alive?
A mess of meat.
A dry river of blood.
This is the root of that strange smell.
Chen Zhan relieved himself and watched with Li Kai.
"What do you think this is?"
"This subway station has been abandoned for a long time, and it is inevitable that there are some stray animals that look like wild dogs." Li Kai analyzed seriously.
Chen Zhan also felt a little similar, and the two of them called other colleagues, preparing to invite the unfortunate dead 'big dog' away and find a place to bury him.
"It's really strange, it's impossible to break into such a big dog here and no one will find out." Li Kai muttered quietly.
Chen Zhan helped bring the sack, "I remember that there seemed to be similar incidents in other countries before, and it was also a little yellow dog that broke into the subway station and was crushed to death because it was not driven in time, and public opinion was still in trouble for a while." β
Li Kai shook his head, whatever, in short, after eliminating the problem, they should also go back to rest, it was almost early in the morning.
After the 'big dog' was put into the sack, Chen Zhan and Li Kai walked out of the subway station with the cleaning staff.
It was drizzling outside, the temperature was six or seven degrees lower than during the day, and occasionally a cold wind blew them too tightly to bury the 'big dog'.
Next to a meadow, the cleaning staff didn't want to go any further, so they simply put down the sack.
Personnel 1: "What do you call this, call us here at night!" β
Personnel 2: "What's the solution, that's what we're doing, but we're on call." β
Personnel 1: "Forget it, it's almost here anyway, it's all going to be used as fertilizer in the future." β
Personnel 2: "Hurry up and excavate, it will rain heavily in a while." β
Operative 1: "There won't be any bear children here who are idle and panicked, right?" β
Personnel 2: "Whatever, it has nothing to do with us!" β
After the two of them finished speaking, they began to break ground, and finally dug a pit one meter wide, picked up the sack and threw it in.
Personnel 2: "Hey, pitiful, it's not like it, practice hard, don't be a dog in the next life, and strive to be a man!" β
Officer 1: "Okay, stop talking, you don't want to go home?" β
Personnel 2 raised a piece of soil, but the next second was stopped by Personnel 1.
Operative 1: "Look at your feet, what just dropped out of that sack?" β
Personnel 2: "Fuss, kick and go down." β
Taking advantage of the light of the street lamp, Personnel 2 stretched out his foot and pulled something on the ground, and when he saw it, he immediately collapsed to the ground in fright.
"Mom, yes...... It's a finger! β
The 'big dog' became a man, and a nightmare began.
