Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 63 Conscience
"Why, you feel it too?" Khan exclaimed, "Not good! It's already very close!"

"We have to go faster," Su Mengfan gasped and ran. "Before it's too late."

Khan quickened his pace, and now he ran with big strides, without saying anything, and without answering Su Mengfan's questions.

Even the traces of fatigue that Su Mengfan saw on him disappeared, and something like a beast appeared on him again.

Su Mengfan was already running to catch up with Khan, but when they were about to get away from the thing chasing them, Ace tripped on a crossbar and fell to the ground in a daze. His face and hands were covered with blood.

Out of inertia, they ran out another dozen steps before they realized Ace was down.

Su Mengfan really didn't want to stop and go back to find that guy - he wanted to leave that short-legged flattery and his amazing intuition in the darkness, and he wanted to keep moving forward before that thing caught up with them.

It was a disgusting thought, but Su Mengfan's conscience was silenced by the thought of running away and leaving the fallen man behind.

Therefore, when Khan hurriedly stepped back and pulled the bearded man up, Su Mengfan felt a little disappointed.

Su Mengfan originally hoped that Khan, like him, would have the same attitude of contempt for other people's lives, forget about that man without hesitation, throw him in the tunnel like unloading a burden, and move on.

But Khan ordered Su Mengfan to support Ace's injured arm, and he supported the other, and the three of them marched hand in hand, which made their walk even more difficult.

Ace moaned, gritted his teeth and endured the pain and moved forward step by step, but Su Mengfan became more and more angry with him.

Feeling no sympathy, the long and heavy machine gun hit Su Mengfan's leg, and he couldn't spare a hand to hold it down.

Death was near--if they stopped and waited half a minute, the ominous vortex would overtake them, whip and tear them to the tiniest pieces.

In just one second, they will no longer be able to breathe the air of this universe, and they will burst into death howls in an instant...

These thoughts did not paralyze Su Mengfan. Instead, they were mixed with malice and anger, giving him greater strength. It seemed that he would gain more strength with every step he took.

Suddenly, that ominous black swirl disappeared, completely gone.

The sense of crisis disappeared too suddenly, leaving everyone's consciousness in place with an unusual emptiness, like the feeling of emptiness after a tooth was pulled out, and they were now feeling the pit left by the tooth just after it was pulled out with the tip of their tongues.

There was nothing behind them, just tunnels - clean, dry, and perfectly safe.

All the escapes under fear and fantasy, all the special feelings and cognitions, now seem so funny, stupid and absurd to Su Mengfan, so that he laughed out loud.

Ace, following him, stopped, looking at him in surprise at first, then laughing too.

Khan looked at them angrily and cursed: "Huh, what's so funny? It feels good now, right? It's so quiet and clean, isn't it?" He continued walking alone.

At this moment, Su Mengfan realized that they were only fifty steps away from the station ahead, and they could already see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Khan stopped at the entrance. He stood on the iron stairs. Now he had time to smoke a cigarette produced in his hometown. They laughed, completely relaxed, and walked forward leisurely for fifty steps.

Su Mengfan suddenly felt sympathy and pity for the limping Ace who was laughing instead of groaning.

He's ashamed to think of the thoughts that came to mind when Ace fell, but he recovers quickly.

When he saw Khan's tired, thin face and his hesitant expression of examining them carefully, Su Mengfan felt a little uneasy again.

"Thank you!" Ace climbed onto the platform and said to Khan with the sound of boots pounding on the stairs.

"If you hadn't saved me...well, it would have been over. You...didn't leave me there. Thank you! I'll always remember that!"

"Don't worry." Khan replied without the slightest emotion.

"Why did you come back to save me?"

"I'm interested in you, I want to talk to you." Khan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and shrugged, "That's all."

After speaking, he climbed up the stairs.

Su Mengfan glanced at Ace, followed Khan up the stairs without saying anything.

When I went up the stairs, I found that the Heping Avenue Station was completely different from the last time I came with the commander and others.

This time, we added guardrails, saw the flames marking the border, and put up roadblocks along the way.

Moreover, there was no sound coming from the platform, everything was so quiet.

Su Mengfan found that the Heping Avenue Station here was different from the dilapidated Seta Yehu Station, and more like the Polezayev Station where hundreds of people mysteriously disappeared.

Khan's boots made a rattling sound on the iron stairs. After walking a few steps, the tunnel turned to the left. When he turned around, he saw that they were already at the subway station.

A beam of white light shone on their faces, and they could not see the situation on the other side of the light from the dark tunnel.

There was a small table placed at the light source, and sitting next to it was a man wearing a strange and outdated old black vest uniform, a dark gray Cuban hat, and an anti-epidemic mask on his face.

On the left and right of the man stood a heavy cavalry, they wore dark green armor and held flamethrowers in their hands.

"Welcome." He greeted Su Mengfan and others, and removed the flashlight, "Are you coming from the All-Russian Exhibition Hall?".

Khan shook his head and said, "We came from Gomes City Station." After speaking, he took out his ID.

After reading it, the man said casually, "Since you didn't come from the VDNKh station, you have to disinfect it after entering. You might also carry the virus on your body."

"What happened there?" When Su Mengfan heard the man opposite mentioned the All-Russian Exhibition Hall station, the atmosphere seemed very tense.

"There? You're talking about the All-Russian Exhibition Hall station. A plague broke out there recently for unknown reasons, and many people died.

It is said that some bastard brought the virus from the ground. "The man's voice sounded muffled through the anti-epidemic mask.

The strap behind the anti-epidemic mask was tightly attached to the man's cheek, and the shaking of the breathing valve was so rapid under the light.

After registering, the three of them walked in from the platform.

After a few steps, I saw a tent.After Su Mengfan and others paid the money, they walked in.

"Drop your shoes and all your clothes and put them in that box. Someone will clean and sanitize, and they'll check your rucksack. There are trousers and coats on the table over there, put them on They," said the man at the entrance.

Walking out of the tent, I saw that the scene here was completely different from before.

The lively hawking is gone, replaced by quiet and quiet.

Even though there is a metal wire running through the entire subway station, Su Mengfan still can't feel at ease.

Feeling the soft yellow light coming from the inside of the arch, but this time, that strange picture did not appear again in front of my eyes.

Su Mengfan looked at the scene in the station:
Under the soft yellow light, tents are randomly placed in the east corner of the station.

Most of the people walking around had sad expressions on their faces, and even the children beside them were closely watched by adults.

I saw those Hansa cavalrymen wearing multi-functional vests and spiked guards on their arms patrolling the subway.

And their heads were different from the anti-epidemic masks that the man saw at the door just now, but they were wearing hooded masks and windproof glasses.

There is a breathing valve on the left and right of the mouth, and a long pipe is connected to the oxygen tank on the back.There is also a walkie-talkie on the chest.

Seeing this scene, Su Mengfan felt a little sad in his heart.

It was because of the outbreak of nuclear war that more than [-]% to [-]% of the people died.

Only those who hid in the Moscow subway station escaped the catastrophe.

However, due to the large-scale coverage of radiation dust, dark creatures breed.

More human beings also lost their lives because of this, and the outbreak of the current plague has brought the subway station, which has finally stabilized, to a desperate situation again.

Seeing this, I suddenly thought of the All-Russian Exhibition Hall Station.

I wonder if Artem is still there?I don’t know how he is doing now?

Su Mengfan began to worry about the younger brother who hadn't seen him for more than ten years.

And I'm also very curious about what he looks like now, and my only thoughts about him are that photo and the illusion in the library.

Remember, he has blue eyes just like me, and they are as beautiful as the sky.

But I wonder if Artyom still remembers the world before the war, thinking that next time he encounters those pre-war postcards, he will collect them.

Thinking of this, Su Mengfan couldn't help holding the bullet casing necklace on his chest, where he had his only beautiful souvenir of this world.

"Alcorn, come here. We have something to talk about." When Su Mengfan was still thinking about the beauty, Khan pulled Su Mengfan's sleeve and said.

And motioned to Ace to find out where the place to eat was.
