"It's a station, it's a station. Someone shouted excitedly.
"It's the station, we're saved. Someone else shouted in surprise.
Soon quite a few people poured off the train and looked around to see if there was anyone else there.
Shi Lei took Lin Xiao's clothes and said in a low voice, "Lin Xiao, shall we go down?"
Lin Xiao groaned slightly, and before he could answer, Fang Zhirong muttered and suddenly said, "It seems to be weird on the outside, what if there is that monster with a single horn?"
Shi Lei was taken aback.
Ye Dongling glared at Fang Zhirong and said, "Don't be indiscriminately scary, there is really another monster like that, it's best to eat you first." β
Fang Zhirong immediately shouted: "Ye Dongling, why are you cursing people?"
Sun Yaojie frowned and said, "Let's go down and take a look first, those people don't know what they are looking at around that bulletin board." β
Lin Xiao also noticed the wooden sign hanging on the stone pillar not far away, and many people were looking at the wooden sign in front of the stone pillar, and then talked in a low voice.
Lin Xiao and the others also got off the train one after another, and he found that many other people crowded to the front of the locomotive, as if they wanted to see the situation in the cab, but looking at those noisy appearances, they should have found nothing.
Lin Xiao squeezed in front of the stone pillar, and when she looked up, she saw a line of words written on the wooden sign:
Upper station: Stoneclaw's lair, Main station: Poisonous Mist Swamp, Lower station: Unknown. The ghost train passes through this station every seven days, and you don't need a ticket to get to the upper station, and you need a ticket to get to the next station.
The words were as red as blood and exuded an eerie aura.
The crowd in front of the stone pillar looked at the information on it, and they all looked at each other.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from behind, Lin Xiao hurriedly turned around, but saw that there were still some people staying on the black train, and at this moment, it was like an invisible force that threw down the people staying on it.
Suddenly, these people were thrown out of the field and let out an exclamation.
Soon, all the people who were still in the train were left behind, followed by a "bang bang bang-" sound, and the doors closed automatically.
"Whew-"
The long whistle whistled, and in the black front of the locomotive, a large number of columns of steam suddenly erupted, and inside the black train, the lights that had been extinguished came back on, flashing and flashing. ()
The sound of "clang" sounded, and the black train moved again, and on the ground, the rails appeared, and the black train had been running along the rails at a high speed in the distance.
I can't describe the speed of this black train, with that huge sound, the black train is like a black dragon, roaring away, just in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small black line, and then, the black line became a small black dot.
Soon, the black train disappeared completely from everyone's sight, and the hundred people were left in this completely unfamiliar place, looking at each other.
"What the hell is going on? The black train wasn't there to take us home at all. Shi Lei screamed in fear.
Fang Zhirong touched his fat face, stared at the bulletin board on the stone pillar, and muttered, "What does it mean by this, Stoneclaw Beast Lair...... Poisonous Mist Swamp, Ghost Train ......"
Lin Xiao looked at the place where the black train disappeared, and suddenly said, "The train that brought us here, and disappeared just now, should be the ghost train referred to here." β
Sun Yaojie was startled, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and exclaimed: "Yes, what is more suitable for the weird train that has just disappeared than the ghost train?" According to the introduction on this wooden sign, this station seems to be called 'Poisonous Mist Swamp', and the ghost train will appear here once every seven days. β
Ye Dongling also nodded again and again, and said: "Do you remember the attacks of those beasts we encountered before, those beasts have skin like rocks, have stone horns, and claws are also the color of rocks, will those be called 'stone claw beasts'?"
Sun Yaojie said: "Yes, that's why I wrote here, the name of the last station is 'Stoneclaw' lair, those beasts should be called 'Stoneclaw' That's right, there is the nest of Stoneclawed Beasts, so there are so many fierce beasts, so it can be inferred that this place is called 'Poisonous Mist Swamp', and the next station is unknown, if you want to take the ghost train once every seven days to enter the next station, the ticket you need is 'Stoneclaw's horn', which should refer to the stone horn in the middle of the forehead of those beasts with skin like rocks." Lin Xiao nodded, agreeing with Sun Yaojie's inference.
Fang Zhirong said: "But who can explain clearly, we just had an accident on the S601 train we were taking, why did it become like this? What stone-clawed beasts, what ghost trains, and what poisonous fog swamps are now, and this ghost train also has a shift every seven days, who can explain it clearly?"
Fang Zhirong asked several questions in a row, Lin Xiao and the others were silent, and suddenly, someone not far away exclaimed: "Everyone come and see here-"
The sound came from behind a wall on the other side, and everyone heard this exclamation and rushed over there, Lin Xiao, Sun Yaojie, Wen Ningxuan, Ye Dongling, Wu Wenxu and others also rushed over.
Behind the wall, there was a row of large wooden boxes, which looked very old, and many of them were already rotting.
At this moment, the lids of this row of wooden boxes were all opened, and they were filled with curved short knives about a foot long, and these short knives were all covered with secret patterns, which were like flowing water, wonderful and abnormal, and looked as beautiful as handicrafts.
All the short knives were exactly the same, filling these huge wooden crates, which at a glance numbered hundreds or thousands, to say the least.
Seeing that these huge wooden boxes were filled with exquisite short knives, everyone around them all looked at each other.
Several people who opened the lid of the wooden box took out a short knife from it one after another, a middle-aged man with a full beard and a somewhat vicious look, picked up the short knife, slashed twice, and then reached out and touched the blade, and said: " If I am not mistaken, these are not ordinary short knives, this short knife is made of Uzi steel ingots, the pattern on this is formed in the casting, it is very special, it is also called the Muhammad pattern, this kind of knife, is the most famous Damascus knife, this one, only this one, is worth a lot of money, I can't imagine that the wooden box is full of this kind of knife. β
The middle-aged man praised repeatedly, he obviously knew something about knives, and gently stroked the short knife in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Damascus knife, I've heard of this name too, it seems to be the first of the three famous knives in the world, but, how can this place be filled with such short knives? Don't you think it's too strange?"
Beside the middle-aged man, there was another young man who was about 1.9 meters tall, this young man was tall and thin, standing there, like a bamboo pole, which seemed very prominent, and he also picked up a short knife in his hand, with a surprised look on his face.
Sun Yaojie said in a deep voice: "I think the short knives in these wooden boxes are prepared for us. β
His words shook the hearts of everyone around him.
"Little brother, what do you say?" the middle-aged man looked up at Sun Yaojie.
"This place looks like a wilderness, and no one can be sure that there are no wild beasts here, and the appearance of these short knives is no coincidence, perhaps...... This area is very dangerous, and these knives are used for our self-defense. β
Sun Yaojie's words startled everyone listening around, and soon someone squeezed up, trying to take the knife from the wooden box.
"Don't squeeze everyone, I'll tell you not to squeeze-" The middle-aged man suddenly raised his voice and shouted, he looked vicious, this loud voice was really effective, and the people who were originally squeezing up stopped.
"This little brother said very reasonably, whether there is danger or not, everyone is always right to take a knife to defend themselves, if you encounter a beast like before, we also have the ability to fight hard, but everyone should not squeeze, there are thousands of knives in these boxes, enough for each of us to have a knife, everyone receives a knife, too young children forget it, so as not to accidentally hurt themselves. β
As he spoke, the middle-aged man suddenly saw that there were many babies in the crowd who were only a few years old, and added.
Although this middle-aged man looked vicious, he had great leadership talents, and he gave orders repeatedly, and soon everyone lined up according to his words, and a long dragon was lined up in front of each wooden box, and they received a knife from the wooden box one after another.
Except for some children, the other * hundreds, regardless of men and women, all have a knife in their hands, Lin Xiao also took a short knife and tried the blade, this kind of refined Damascus knife in the curved short knife, it is indeed worthy of its name, heavy to start, extremely sharp, if there is enough strength, even a small tree with a thick wrist can be cut off.
With a short knife in his hand, and hundreds of people gathered together, everyone's courage was invisibly much greater.
"Hey, it's not a way for us to stay here like this, there is no signal on our mobile phones, we can't contact the outside world, it seems impossible to rely on other people to save us, we have to think of our own ideas. The tall, thin man, who was about 1.9 meters tall, suddenly spoke.
"yes, it's not an option to stay here all the time. Someone else whispered.
"Dad, Mommy, I'm hungry. One of them, who was only three or four years old, shook his parents' hands and made a childish sound.
The child's parents fumbled in their pockets, pulled out their phones, wallets and keys, but had nothing to eat.
When they were on the train, they all prepared food, but the food was put in their suitcases or bags, and the train suddenly encountered an accident, and everyone was busy escaping, where was there time to escape with their suitcases and bags.
"Baby, be good, bear with me, you will have something to eat soon. The child's mother had no choice but to coax him.
"No, I'm hungry, I want to eatβ" the child cried with his mouth flattened.
