Journey to another world in the subway

Chapter 64 Dreamland
The restaurant is housed in the center tent.

By all accounts, meal time was past, for few people remained at the humble home-made table.

Khan sat Su Mengfan at one of the tables, gave Ace some coins and motioned for him to bring back some food.

Ace came back a few minutes later, walking in with three bowls on a tray.It contained smoking, appetizing gray gruel.

Ace put the food on the table, shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret: "Due to the plague, some food is not available here, and those delicacies that can usually be eaten with a few coins-baked Rats. But because of the fear of spreading germs, the sale of rats is prohibited.”

Seeing the reassuring look in Khan's eyes, Su Mengfan dared to eat it, and he ate it all in one go.

Although it is difficult to determine what special material it is made of, the local food does taste good after eating.

Su Mengfan put the clay bowl aside after eating, and looked around calmly.

The two were still sitting at adjacent tables, talking quietly.Although they wore traditional padded jackets, something about their appearance made him think they were wearing full hazmat suits and carrying loaded automatic rifles.

The man in the padded jacket took a casual look at Su Mengfan and returned to his leisurely conversation.

And just when Khan finished his porridge, he waved his hand as a signal.

"Alcorn, I think it's time for us to separate. During this time, I found that you have mastered the ability of 'listening' proficiently. Even if you are alone in this endless tunnel, There is still a guarantee of safety." Khan said to Su Mengfan who was beside him.

"And you have also discovered that in addition to the potential danger of those monsters, this tunnel also has the risk of confusing the mind. And this danger will also accompany your future adventures.

But you have an unprecedented resistance to these voices that others cannot resist.This is also beyond my expectation. Khan said, staring closely at Su Mengfan's eyes.

Those wolf-like eyes made Su Mengfan feel chills.

Quietly, a few minutes passed.

"It's time for us to rest." Khan said slowly.

…………

The cot that had been made was indeed waiting for him there, and there was a plastic bag with his name written on it in the corner.

Su Mengfan entered the spring surface of the creaking cot and took off the necklace around his neck.

Carefully took out the photo inside, and the slightly faded picture was reflected in front of my eyes.

Could it really be his?
What's wrong with him now?
Whether it is for the VDNK station or the entire subway, he must find an opportunity to go to the VDNKh station and ask the people who escaped from the plague:

Who is in this photo?
Is it my mother?

or not her?

Su Mengfan kissed the photo, then carefully put it inside the shell, and hung it around his neck contentedly.

For a split second he felt something in his life take shape.After a while he fell asleep.

When Su Mengfan woke up and left the tent, he didn't consider how much the station had changed.

Fewer than ten intact housing units remain; the rest are broken or burned, with walls stained with soot and pitted with bullets, stucco, and chunks of concrete constantly falling from the ceilings. drop down.

Ominous black streams flowed from the edge of the platform, harbingers of future floods.

There was hardly anyone in the hall, except for a little girl playing with toys on the edge of one of the tents.

From the other platform, just down the stairs from the station's new exit came a muffled scream.

Only two surviving emergency lights dispelled the darkness in the hall.

Su Mengfan stayed at the front of the cot, looking for the place where the submachine gun disappeared.

He searched the entire hall and found nothing, so he had to accept the fact that he had to leave unarmed.

What's going on here?
Su Mengfan wanted to ask the little girl who was playing, but when she saw him, she couldn't help crying.

As a result, it would be impossible to get any news from her.

Su Mengfan didn't care about the sobbing and tearful little girl, he carefully looked through the arch and looked at the passage.

The first thing that catches his eyes is the scattered copper letters "V...NKh" twisted on the marble. Where is "D" (VDNKh is the English abbreviation of All-Russian Exhibition Hall Station)?

Only one shadow could be seen.

A deep crack appeared along the entire inscription in the marble.

He had to check what was going on in the tunnel.

If someone took the station, he would have to take a good look at the surroundings and explain to the Confederates from the south exactly the danger they faced before going back for help.

Suddenly, behind the entrance of the line, there was an impenetrable darkness, so that Su Mengfan could not see farther than the elbow of Bai Ji's arm.

There's something rattling strangely in the depths of the tunnel, and a madman would go there unarmed.

After listening to the sounds for a while, he began to hear the gurgling of water along the floor, enveloping his boots, rushing back toward the VDNKh station.

His legs dangled, refusing to move forward.

The voice in his head repeatedly warned that it was dangerous to go on, that the risk was too great, and that he couldn't make out anything in such darkness anyway.

Every time Su Mengfan took a step into the invisible depths of the tunnel, he felt a kind of black and cold fear seeping into his heart drop by drop.

Many times he couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and hurried to the station.

But he did not see the sleepers in the darkness, tripped over one of them, and knew now that the inevitable end was at hand.

He was drenched in sweat, before he even had time to consider that he had fallen off the cot in his dream.

His head was unusually heavy, and there was a dull pain in his temple. Su Mengfan stayed on the floor for a few more minutes until he remembered.

He couldn't stand up by himself at that time, but his mind was clear, the remnants of the nightmare completely disappeared, and he could no longer recall what he probably dreamed just now.

He lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Except for some sentinels, there was no one.

It was night now, Su Mengfan took a few deep breaths of the moist air, returned to the tent, lay stretched out on the cot, fell asleep like a log, without any dreams.

…………

Khan woke him up.

Wearing a dark insulated coat with lapels and military trousers with pockets, he looks as if he is leaving the station any minute now.

He wore an old black combat cap on his head, and two big bags that Su Mengfan looked familiar stood up beside his feet.

Khan moved one of them to Su Mengfan with his boots and said, "Here are shoes, uniforms, backpacks and weapons. Change your shoes and get ready. You don't have to wear any armor, we don't want to go on the ground, just take it with you." Get on it. We'll be leaving in half an hour."

Su Mengfan asked, "Where are we going?" He blinked his half-awake eyes and restrained his yawn.

"Of course it's Kursk Station. If you're okay, then follow Moscow Metro Line [-] to GM Square Station, and then to Lenin Library Station. However, I have my own things to do, so I will cover you to leave."

"What about Ace? What about him. Isn't he with us?"

"You don't need to care about this, he has other things to do. The important thing now is to get you out of here first."

Khan sat on a stool in the corner, took out a newspaper from his pocket, rolled a cigarette by himself, and looked at Su Mengfan from time to time.

Facing such surveillance eyes, Su Mengfan was very uneasy and handled everything clumsily.

After about 10 minutes he was ready.

Without saying a word, Khan sat up from the stool, grabbed his bag, and walked to the platform.

Su Mengfan looked around the room and followed him. They went out through an arch and walked towards the passage.

Melnik climbed the wooden stairs superimposed on the passage, and began to walk towards the tunnel.

With the faint light, Su Mengfan saw many Hansa Rangers standing in the tunnel.

Putting the flamethrower aside, they were communicating with each other, and some even leaned against the wall and dozed off.

After taking a closer look, most of them were standing in the passage leading to Alexeyevsk Station, which made Su Mengfan immediately give up the idea of ​​going to the All-Russian Exhibition Hall station to investigate.

Khan and Su Mengfan looked at each other, and Khan made a gesture.So Su Mengfan was asked to wait first, and he tried to find a way to lure the rangers away.

Su Mengfan quickly grabbed Khan, and whispered, "At the end of the passage at the fork, there is a passage, we can enter from there."

After hearing this, Khan narrowed his eyes and nodded.

After the two communicated, they headed for that passage.

Taking advantage of the dim environment, the two walked along the wall hand in hand towards today.

After a while, Su Mengfan saw gravel.

Although the peace of mind of going this time is different from the last time, but thinking that since the Lufthansa Alliance has left a passage in another peace of mind, it should also stay in this passage.

The rubble piled up in front of them varied in size, but considering that there were only two soldiers last time, the passage would definitely not be hidden behind larger stones.

After determining the general direction, the two began to slowly place the accumulated gravel aside.

In order not to make a sound, the movements of the two were also light.

Therefore, when Su Mengfan finished with Khan, he was already sweating profusely.The clothes on his body were also tightly attached to his body due to sweat.

I saw a rectangular iron gate erected in front of the two of them, and the gate was already rusted and mottled, losing its luster.And there is a lock hanging on the door handle, which tightly separates Su Mengfan from Kursk Station.

Since there is no key, it can only be removed violently.But whether you hit it with a rock or with a gun, both make a lot of noise.

For a while, the two became distressed about how to solve it silently.
