Survival Paradox [Infinite]

On the subway, Yutu asked about Lu Su and Yuan Yueru's experiences in detail. Lu Su basically didn't talk much, and Yuan Yueru was talking.

They were going to Happy Valley for a date on Line 13, but at the last stop they found that the people on the bus had disappeared. Lu Su also told her that there was something on the window, and she didn't dare to look at it, thinking that Lu Su was teasing her.Panicked, she dragged Lu Su off the train at the next stop, and after getting off, she found that there was still no one in the subway station, so she realized that something had really happened.

"However, we have encountered this kind of thing once before," she said.

Yutu knew she was talking about "Bajiao Airport", so she didn't ask again, and continued this time: "Do you remember when the people on the subway disappeared?"

Yuan Yueru immediately said, "09:30."

"09:30?" Yutu confirmed, "is it exactly 9:30?"

"Yes." Yuan Yueru said, "My alarm clock is set at 09:30 on non-weekdays. As soon as Lu Su told me that there was something on the window, the alarm clock rang."

After two transfers, everyone arrived at the Metro Control Center of City C.

The subway master control center in city C is built on the ground, and there are passages connected with the subway station.

Unfortunately, the channel is closed.

Shuoshu proposed to pry the door open, which was easy for him, but Ji Jingzhe secretly shook his head at Wei Chi, and Wei Chi immediately understood that Ji Jingzhe probably felt "the edge of the world".

While everyone was still discussing in front of the closed passageway, a person named Gao Mingxuan, a railway engineer, came out from behind.

"I also want to come over to see the master control center." Gao Mingxuan said, "What are these things?"

"Anyway, it's impassable now." Wei Chi briefly explained their plan to Gao Mingxuan, and then asked, "Do you think there is any other way?"

"There is a way." Gao Mingxuan said, "We can go to the stations of each line to broadcast."

He explained to everyone: "The subway broadcasting is divided into central broadcasting, station broadcasting, and depot broadcasting system. The central broadcasting can control the broadcasting of the whole subway, and the broadcasting of the station can control the broadcasting of the whole line. If you want to notify everyone on the subway, in the When the central broadcast fails, it can be sent through a single-wire broadcast."

Yutu said: "That is to say, there are 13 subway lines in total, and we only need to go to the 13 stations and send messages one by one?"

"That's right." Gao Mingxuan said, "And some sites are relatively high-level, and can control the broadcast of several lines."

"It's not too late." Wei Chi looked around and saw a city's subway map posted on the wall not far away, so he led the crowd over and said to Gao Mingxuan, "Mr. Gao, please point out these high-end stations." .”

"I don't remember too clearly." Gao Mingxuan said, "It should be at a more important transfer station."

Yutu handed him a pen, and he circled a few points on the map. Wei Chi planned these points again and selected five stations.

Now there are eight of them, and he divided them into four groups. First, they will go to the four stations to send broadcasts, and then they will go to the fifth station to gather together.

The group is him and Gao Mingxuan, Ji Jingzhe and Akui, Yutu Shuoshu, Lu Su and Yuan Yueru.

His original intention was to let Yutu and Shuoshu each bring a young couple, but Yuan Yueru refused to do it, so he could only do so.

Wei Chi and Gao Mingxuan took the subway and transferred to "Zhushikou Station" where they transferred to Line 3 and Line 4.

The "Flower Market Street Station" where Ji Jingzhe was going got on the bus opposite them, their car arrived first, and after getting on the bus, Ji Jingzhe stood at the door to see him off.

When he was in the group, he thought that Ji Jingzhe was going to make a fuss, but it didn't, so he stood with Ah Kui and waved him off, saying, "Be careful on the road."

He felt a little strange, waved at Ji Jingzhe, and followed Gao Mingxuan inside.After walking two steps to the car window, Ji Jingzhe disappeared instantly.His heart was empty, as if he had suddenly returned to the spring in the blink of an eye, and lost Ji Jingzhe in just a short sleep.

The day Ji Jingzhe disappeared was a very normal day, Wednesday, a school day.He got up at [-]:[-] as usual, and the morning light was faintly blue and white, and it was hard to tell whether it was sunny or cloudy.He sat on the bed, not realizing anything yet, but he had a vague feeling that his heart was empty.

He took a step back and saw Ji Jingzhe was still waving at him in the gap of the slowly closing car door.The car door is obviously transparent, but Ji Jingzhe can't be seen at the closed place, only the floor and pillars without people can be seen, it's really as if people disappeared out of thin air.

He took another step back, and said to Ji Jingzhe in the gap where there was only one line left: "Be careful."

He saw Ji Jingzhe smiled at him.

The car door slowly closed in front of his eyes.

Aoi said, "That's great."

Ji Jingzhe glanced at her: "What's good?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Feeling that Ji Jingzhe was looking at him all the time, she brushed her hair a little awkwardly, and looked forward again: "The car is here."

Ji Jingzhe walked in first: "Then let's go."

She guessed that Ji Jingzhe saw it.

Maybe on the side of the neck, maybe on the back, don't know, she didn't notice the injury there too.

But he didn't ask anything. The average man would always ask a question or two, whether he really cared or wanted to show himself.

...Not really.

Sometimes I hope that someone cares, and sometimes I hope that everyone will pretend that I don't exist and don't ask anything.

It's not that you haven't been with others before, but what exactly do you need to connect with each other?

Will you really meet such a person in your life?

——I can’t.

She got into the car, walked to Ji Jingzhe and sat down.

The car moved slowly, and she stared at the shadow on the window in a daze.

Those are vivid and stiff shadows. This is not contradictory. I say stiff because those people are really stiff. They all stand with lowered eyebrows. , also like a bunch of mud.Speaking of vividness, it is indeed vivid, because this picture is indeed a picture in reality. She used to work in a law firm in the city center. Playing before her eyes, even she is one of them... Which one is it?To be honest, the one leaning on the railing looks more like her...

"Cough." Ji Jingzhe coughed in embarrassment, and asked hesitantly, "You haven't found out yet?"

She came back to her senses: "What?"

Ji Jingzhe glanced down: "There is someone under your feet."

She felt numb all over, and goosebumps spread from her neck to her ankles.

She swallowed, forced a smile and said, "Don't be kidding."

"I don't have one." Ji Jingzhe said, "See for yourself."

She lowered her head slightly, and saw the edge of the stool they were sitting on, revealing a little red hem of their clothes, and a little... white thing.

Like, like bones.

Or rather... a skeleton.

She shivered in fright, subconsciously put her legs on the stool, and at the same time grabbed Ji Jingzhe's arm.

"Hiss." Ji Jingzhe was pinched and grinned, "Don't be afraid, he has head and feet, he should be a real person, and he probably thinks he's hiding it well."

She felt that he was simply sick, the thing was still under their feet, and he was just talking small things openly.At that moment, a great fear seized her, she didn't know what happened, in the extreme panic, she didn't know whether she broke the pot or gave up on herself, and began to pick up on Ji Jingzhe: "When did you find out?"

Ji Jingzhe rubbed the arm pinched by her: "I found it when I got on the train, why didn't you find out? There is no way to hide people on the subway, right?"

She said, "You're not afraid, so why didn't you call him?"

Ji Jingzhe: "It looks like a girl, I'm afraid to scare people, so it's better if you call me?"

She looked down again, and found that the corner of the red dress moved a little, and then stopped moving again.

They kept talking like this, and the thing didn't respond, and it looked quite scared.

She thought about it, and was about to climb to the other end of the stool, get down again, and stand a little further away to see the situation.

Just as she was about to move, the thing below suddenly made a hesitant voice: "...Ah Kui, is that you?"

She was stunned.

"Star Meow?"

On the other side, Wei Chi and Gao Mingxuan have already taken the No. 3 subway, and they can reach their destination in two stops.

Gao Mingxuan was smoking in the subway.

Smoke alarms went off all the way.

Wei Chi was taken aback at first, he had just said goodbye to Ji Jingzhe, when he turned around, Gao Mingxuan had already taken a big mouthful and was spitting it out slowly.

At that moment, he broke out in a cold sweat, hesitating whether to rush up to pinch his cigarette or run away from Gao Mingxuan.

Almost immediately, the smoke alarm blared.

But nothing happened.

Gao Mingxuan saw him standing there with a pale face, and laughed out loud: "Xiao Wei, don't be afraid, I smoked it before I met you, don't worry, I won't harm you."

Wei Chi hung his heart, sat across from him, and asked: "When encountering such a thing, do you still have the heart to smoke?"

He was certain that Gao Mingxuan should have only experienced "Bajiao Airport" and treated this world as a game.

Gao Mingxuan took another puff of smoke, staring at the loud siren: "No ordinary person can smoke a cigarette in the subway, right? Who can encounter such a thing? You are the only one in the entire city subway."

After transferring to Line 3, Gao Mingxuan lit another cigarette and sat next to Wei Chi.

After a while, he asked Wei Chi: "Isn't it the first time for you to enter this kind of world?"

"Yeah. Been there before." Wei Chi said vaguely, "Which one have you been in before?"

He thought that Gao Mingxuan had only entered Bajiao Airport, but he didn't expect Gao Mingxuan to say, "The Second Municipal Hospital."

Wei Chi frowned, and was about to speak, when Gao Mingxuan continued on his own: "My wife works in the Second City Hospital."

Wei Chi realized that he didn't need to speak, Gao Mingxuan didn't need to answer, he just wanted to confide.

"My wife and I met in high school. She...is a very gentle person. We are both busy at work, but she always takes care of the house very well. We have an eight-year-old daughter... who lives in the city. What happened to the Second Courtyard... She became, a... monster. After that, I, I can only think that it was a dream. I asked other people, her colleagues, and me in the Second City Friends who work in the hospital, they don’t remember anything. She doesn’t remember either. Then, I can forget about that too. She is still so gentle, loves cleaning, and cooks delicious food..."

Gao Mingxuan said, "But, something went wrong, Xiaowei?"

He turned his face sideways to face Wei Chi, with bloodshot eyes in his eyes: "Is there something wrong, isn't it?"
