Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 61 The Prophet
The crowd set off, heading toward the dark southern tunnel.They moved surprisingly slowly, as if affected by friction from a heavy medium or something - they seemed to be walking through water.

Khan, however, hopped off the platform with astonishing lightness, onto the road, and in two quick leaps he was on the side of the crowd.

Knock down the man leading Su Mengfan in one fell swoop, grab Su Mengfan and pull him back.

From Su Mengfan's point of view, all this seems to be in slow motion.

Watching Khan come to his side, Su Mengfan was silently surprised for a moment. Khan's movement seemed to only take a few seconds. Su Mengfan saw the bearded man in a tarpaulin jacket gently grabbing his shoulders and forcefully He fell hard to the ground.

But from the moment Khan intercepted himself, time began to speed up, and people's reactions after hearing the sound seemed to Su Mengfan to be as fast as lightning.

The men pointed their guns at Khan and walked towards Khan.

Khan pushed Su Mengfan gently, and squeezed Su Mengfan to his side with one arm, letting Su Mengfan block his own body.

His other hand stretched forward, holding Su Mengfan's new machine gun that was shining faintly.

"Come on," Khan said hoarsely.

"I don't want to kill you, you'll die in an hour anyway. Leave us alone, let's go," Khan said as he moved towards the middle of the station, step by step, the figures of the hesitant crowd began to become blurred Silhouettes, disappearing into the darkness.

Su Mengfan heard a commotion. They might be helping the bearded man who was knocked down by Khan. People began to move towards the tunnel entrance to the south.

They decided not to be with Khan anymore.

Only then did Khan put down his gun and suddenly ordered Su Mengfan to step onto the platform.

"One more step, and I'll be hurt for saving you, friend of my youth," Khan said with undisguised excitement.

Su Mengfan climbed up obediently.

Khan followed him, picking up his things as he walked into the darkness.

Su Mengfan followed behind.

The lobby of Seta Yehu Station is very short, and there is a dead end with marble walls next to the car. There is a piece of corrugated iron in the gap in the wall on the right, and this is the farthest you can see under the light of the flashlight.

Marble yellowed with age covers the entire station with only three arches.

The stairs connecting this Mu station to the Chesti-Prud station, which was renamed the Kirov Oblast station by the Red Army, are walls made of gray concrete blocks.

The station was very empty, there was nothing on the ground, no trace of humans, no rats, no cockroaches.

Su Mengfan looked around. He remembered his conversation with Bourbon, which confirmed that mice are not afraid of anything. If there are no mice in a place, then there must be something wrong there.

Khan grabbed his shoulders and walked quickly across the hall, Su Mengfan could feel Khan shaking even through his jacket.

When they put their luggage on the edge of the platform, a faint light suddenly shone from behind. Su Mengfan was once again surprised by his partner's quick reaction in times of danger.

In an instant, Khan stood on the ground.Look back in the direction of the light source.

The light wasn't very strong, but it shone straight into their eyes and it was hard to see who was looking for them.

After a moment's delay, Su Mengfan also jumped back to the ground. He climbed to his backpack and took out the old weapon he was carrying.

The weapon is heavy and inconvenient to use, but it has a perfect 7.62 caliber. Anyone who is shot and has such a hole in his body will have a hard time moving.

"What are you going to do?" Khan growled, and Su Mengfan finally understood that if that person wanted to kill them, he would have already done so.

With the light of the flashlight and the aiming line of the gun, I can see the general situation: the man crouched helplessly on the ground.

Yes, if that guy wanted to kill Su Mengfan and Khan, they would have already been lying in a pool of blood.

"Don't shoot!" a voice yelled. "No need..."

"Turn off your flashlight!" said Khan, walking towards the column to get his own flashlight.

Su Mengfan held his weapon firmly, and stepped aside, stepped out of the light, and hid behind an arch.

If someone wanted to shoot, he could kill that person instantly.

But the stranger obeyed the Khan's order.

"Very good!" said the Khan, "and now put your weapon on the ground!" His voice was less tense.

Su Mengfan heard the sound of metal falling on the granite floor.

And kept aiming the gun at the stranger's weapon, watching the man slowly come out and appear in the hall.

Su Mengfan's calculations were accurate—fifteen steps ahead of him, with the reflection of the flashlight on the arch, he saw the stranger clearly: it turned out to be the bearded man who caused the conflict at Sukharev Station.

"Don't shoot," the bearded man said again in a trembling voice.

"I didn't intend to attack you. I decided to go with you. You said that anyone who wants can come... I... I believe you," the bearded man said to the Khan.

"I also feel that something will happen there, the tunnel on the right. Those people have already set off, they have gone, but I stayed, and I want to go with you."

"The awareness is good," Khan said, looking at this guy deliberately.

"But my friend, I cannot trust you, and who knows why," he added mockingly.

"We will consider your proposal, provided that you give me your weapons and you walk ahead of us in the tunnel. If you try to play tricks, you will not end well."

The bearded man kicked his gun to the Khan, carefully putting the spare rounds aside.

Su Mengfan picked them up from the ground and approached him with a gun in hand.

"I caught him!" Su Mengfan shouted.

"Hands up!" cried the Khan. "Jump onto the path, quick. Stand there with your back to us!"

Two minutes after entering the tunnel, they entered a narrow triangular terrain - a bearded man named Ace, walking five steps ahead of Khan and Su Mengfan.

The three of them were walking, when they suddenly heard a dull scream, but it seemed that it stopped immediately...

Terrified, Ace looks back at them, even forgetting to point his flashlight in their direction.

The flashlight trembled in his hand and shone upwards on his chest from below, forming a terrifying grimace, which was more terrifying to Su Mengfan than hearing screams.

"Yes." Khan nodded, "Their choice was wrong, but I think time will tell whether we are wrong too."

They moved on.

Su Mengfan looked at his protector from time to time. He noticed that Khan looked more and more tired. His hands were shaking slightly, his steps were unsteady, and there were large drops of sweat on his face.

And they haven't gone far yet...

Obviously, this road is more tiring for him than for Su Mengfan.

Su Mengfan wondered what was draining his companion's strength, and the young man couldn't help thinking that Khan seemed to be right in this situation, and he saved Su Mengfan again.

If Su Mengfan followed the convoy towards the tunnel on the right, he would definitely be dead and had disappeared without a trace.

But there were a lot of people over there - at least six.

Has the iron law failed?

The Khan had known it—he had known it!
Whether that's a hunch or the magic of the "navigation map"...it seems comical that a bit of ink on paper is magic.

Did that rotten paper really save them?

However, the line from Sukhalev Station to Setayehu Station used to be orange, definitely orange.Has it really turned black?
"What is this?" Ace stopped suddenly and asked Khan uneasily.

"Did you feel it? From behind..."

Su Mengfan looked at the bearded man suspiciously, trying to satirize his stimulated nerves, because he didn't feel anything at all.

The heavy feeling of oppression and danger had disappeared when they left Sukhalev Station, but to Su Mengfan's surprise, Khan stood there, motioning for them to stay quiet, and turned his face in the direction they came from.

"What a keen sense!" Khan said half a minute later.

"We admire her very much, like a queen," and added some reasons.

"If we leave here, we must discuss this carefully. Did you hear nothing?" Khan asked Su Mengfan.

"No, everything seems to be quiet," Su Mengfan replied after listening.

At this time, he was filled with various emotions...

envy?

offend?

anger?
How could his protector say this about the bearded man who had threatened their lives two hours earlier?
"You're right," Su Mengfan said to Ace, confirming the man's suspicions.

"Something is coming this way. We must move forward quickly." The Khan listened again and sniffed in the wolfish way.

"It's coming from behind like a wave, and we have to run! If it covers us, it's game over," Khan said, before sprinting.

Su Mengfan had to hurry along with Khan, almost running, so as not to be left behind.

Ace walked quickly alongside them now too, shifting his short legs quickly, panting.

They kept running like this for 10 minutes, but Su Mengfan still couldn't understand why they were in such a hurry that he was out of breath. He remembered that the tunnel behind him was empty and clean, and he might trip on the crossbar while running like this. Come on, why are you running?
There is no evidence of who they were being chased by.

But after 10 minutes, Su Mengfan also felt it. It was indeed chasing them, chasing them step by step with difficulty—it was some black things, not waves, but more like a whirlwind—a black whirlwind, cutting off their peaceful……

If it catches up to them, the same fate awaits them as the other six, and the other adventurous fools who enter the tunnel alone at a deadly time.

The devilish whirling wind rages and will take anything alive.

This speculation and vague understanding quickly passed through Su Mengfan's mind, and he glanced anxiously at Khan.

Khan looked back and understood everything.
