299: Under the Tracks

DSH130 high-speed train has arrived at the station. Passengers please proceed to Gate 1 for ticket checking.

… …

At 8:30, the broadcast announcement caused many people in the waiting hall to stand up.

“It’s half an hour late, that’s too inaccurate.”

Some impatient people waiting started complaining.

Although they said this, a long queue formed very quickly.

As people entered the station one after another and arrived at the platform, the ground was wet.

Quite a few staff members were rinsing away some bloodstains on the side of the platform.

Even the strong smell of disinfectant couldn't completely mask the smell of blood.

Instead, the combination of these two smells made people feel a little nauseous.

“What is this?!”

Passengers dragging suitcases saw the busy staff and felt a little flustered.

“Some birds will crash into the high-speed train and explode into minced meat. This needs to be cleaned up.”

Behind a sign that read ‘Caution, Slippery Floor’.

The staff maintaining order explained.

“Has this always been happening?” In the crowd, Li Xiu suddenly asked.

The high-speed train station staff shook their heads: “Just recently, it’s been happening more and more.”

“Rumble~~”

Just as they were speaking.

In the distance, a high-speed train entered the station at a not-so-fast speed.

And at the first sight of that high-speed train.

Many people with weaker psychological tolerance screamed out.

That high-speed train, just looking at it from afar, looked as if it had been spray-painted with blood.

A lot of visible minced meat was spread out on the exterior of the high-speed train.

Some of the high-speed train's body panels were even dented.

It was as if it had encountered some terrifying attack along the way!

And at the front of the high-speed train, a prominent V-shaped iron train head was welded on.

The most blood plasma was hanging on this iron train head!

Many passengers shook their heads in fear and ran directly back to the exit.

The staff were also shocked by this much more serious situation.

However, they quickly reacted and stepped forward to clean it up.

Fortunately, the windows were sturdy, leaving at most some deep scratches, but nothing else.

“Can this kind of train still be on the road?”

An Indian foreign teacher on the side spoke with a curry-flavored accent.

“It can probably last a few more days.” The staff member sighed: “It is estimated that in a while, the high-speed train stations in the Dragon Country will also gradually close.”

The staff member's words sounded helpless.

Xu Feng, however, heard a hint of despair in them.

Just as he had felt that despair when he first learned the truth of the matter.

What the soldier said was not wrong.

“This world has indeed become chaotic, but life still has to go on day by day.”

As long as you are alive, you will always see the day it ends.

Carriage 7.

Coincidentally, Xu Feng and Li Xiu, and Lin Yue, two Student from his class, were sitting in the rows ahead and behind.

As for Yang Ou, he had already gone to his business class seat at this time.

After twenty minutes of cleaning.

The train, dragging its old carriage, slowly started.

The speed was not fast, and was even only the speed of a green-skinned train.

“Friend, you’ve been on this train for so long, what exactly caused this train to look like that?”

Behind Xu Feng, a Middle-aged passenger who had just gotten on the train asked the person of the same age who hadn't gotten off yet.

“Birds, insects, and things like wild boars.” The passenger behind him said these words, taking a deep breath: “These things don’t know what went crazy, they are completely not afraid of people!”

“I saw that the fences on both sides of the railway for several kilometers behind were somehow destroyed, there are too many animals on this road!”

The Middle-aged A Man’s voice was full of lingering fear.

This made the faces of the Xu Xue sisters next to Xu Feng turn pale.

Li Xiu, who was listening intently in the front, had a solemn expression.

A few minutes later.

Before the high-speed train left the area of Z City, it encountered a flock of birds.

Fortunately, this flock of birds was just circling in the sky and didn’t do anything.

Occasionally, some sparrows as big as pigeons would break their necks when hit by the high-speed train, accompanied by a dull thud.

The size of animals has increased, and their reproductive capacity has become stronger, they need more space.

… …

With everyone inside the high-speed train on edge, the high-speed train surprisingly had a quiet period of about an hour.

This was a bit unusual.

Outside the window, large areas of lush, unknown mountain forests passed by, and the primitive terrain that should only be seen in movies was visible to everyone just from inside the carriage!

And while the passengers in the train were spaced out.

A splash of vivid red entered everyone’s eyes.

Red was not the end, it was the beginning!

The terrain on one side of the high-speed train was no longer dense forest.

It was a vast plain.

As far as the eye could see, it was no longer green.

In everyone's pupils, red light was reflected!

People could clearly see that they were flowers, clusters of bright red flowers, gathered together like a tide, stretching for tens of kilometers, connecting with the sky!

Such a shocking scene made the people in the train hold their breath.

“So beautiful!”

Lin Yue in the front seat directly leaned against the window.

It was indeed very beautiful.

Everyone, including Xu Feng, praised it from the bottom of their hearts.

If such a vast plain of flowers had existed before, it would be impossible for it to have no fame at all.

The only reason was that these flowers bloomed and grew in a short period of time!

“Beautiful things are often accompanied by intense danger.”

Ye Tian’s voice appearing in his mind startled Xu Feng.

“Ang!”

In the slightly reddish sky.

Two huge birds, crying out loudly, collided and tore at each other.

In this struggle.

They fell straight towards the flower plain below!

Fortunately, these two birds stopped a few meters above the ground at the end, then flapped their wings, staring fixedly at each other.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the rare scene of these two birds fighting.

Xu Feng, however, saw clearly.

As the two birds flapped their wings.

Large areas of visible pollen also slowly enveloped the two birds with the airflow, entering their respiratory tracts.

In less than two or three seconds.

The two terrifying birds, as if poisoned, dropped vertically into that sea of flowers!

With his not-weak eyesight, Xu Feng saw it exceptionally clearly.

The roots of the flowers, like living creatures, quickly and densely wrapped and enveloped the two birds!

Nutrients were absorbed, and a few more red flowers peeked out.

And that area of flowers became even more vibrant…

There was no sound at all, but it gave Xu Feng a feeling of thorough coldness in his heart.

“There used to be a Village here, it seems.”

Xu Xue next to him recovered from the beauty of the flowers and spoke with a hint of doubt.

“That’s right, I remember there was a Village of several hundred people here. I often saw it when I traveled between M City and Z City before.”

Xu Yu nodded and added.

“Maybe they moved away, if they really stayed here, they would get pollen allergies, hahaha.”

On one side of the corridor, a A Man wearing a hat joined the conversation.

“I’m afraid they didn’t have time to move.” Xu Feng murmured to himself.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that these flowers are still a few kilometers away from the track.

I just don’t know if these flowers will block the way when I return to Z City…

While contemplating, the high-speed train also traveled for more than ten minutes along the edge of this boundless red sea of flowers!

An hour later.

He looked at the telephone map.

Currently, it looks like it will be about ten more minutes until M City.

M City is a City that barely qualifies as a third-tier City, because it is surrounded by mountains.

To get rich, first build roads. The reason why M City has not developed is because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides.

“Screech!!!”

Suddenly, the train moving forward slowly stopped.

Before the passengers in the train could figure out the situation, the broadcast in each carriage sounded.

“We are very sorry, passengers, the track ahead of this high-speed train has been destroyed, and the high-speed train cannot proceed.”

“Can’t go? How could the track be damaged? Didn’t the high-speed train alarm when it started?” Many people immediately became anxious.

The broadcast in the train continued to sound: “Please don’t panic, everyone, we have already contacted the official personnel of M City, and they have already sent people to pick us up, please wait patiently!”

These words had quite an effect.

Many people also quieted down.

Li Xiu, in the seat in front of Xu Feng, was frowning tightly.

He felt very uneasy and anxious at this moment, as if he was surrounded by danger!

He wanted to find a handy weapon, but he couldn't find one!

“Isn’t M City separated from us by a mountain? Wouldn’t it take them until night to get here? It’s taking too long!”

There are always plenty of pessimists.

“How long can it take? It’s only about two hours to run along the track.”

Among the passengers, there were still some relatively calm people.

But no matter what, it was already difficult for the high-speed train to quiet down.

Xu Feng looked out the window.

Their high-speed train stopped at the foot of a Da Shan, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

At least Xu Feng didn't see a single living creature with his naked eye.

This feeling… was very similar to that boundless sea of flowers just now!

It was as if… they had trespassed into the territory of a certain tribe, and all the living creatures around had been dealt with by that tribe!

The accident on the track ahead must have only happened within these ten minutes.

This means the destroyer hasn't gone far.

Even… they are nearby!
