The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 103 Mobius Rings

There was an invisible sense of urgency in the air. Lao Wang's tone was normal at first, but as he spoke, he unconsciously sped up.

According to Lao Wang’s description, there were nine people in the Baichuan Group 2 group. The group leader, Cheng Xin, and the deputy leader, Wang Fei, all got on the last carriage of the subway. At that time, the doors of each carriage were not locked.

Group 2 stayed there for a while, and then walked into the second car. At this time, the subway just arrived at the station, and several passengers walked in. This scene was quite strange.

Although the people in Group 2 are not experienced in battles, they are well-trained. They did not mess up, but pretended that they were ordinary passengers and sat in the carriage without saying a word.

The subway continues to run, entering a station every 5 to 10 minutes on average. Passengers get on and off at each station, as if this is really just an ordinary subway.

After several stops, the people in Group 2 were a little out of breath.

At this time, an old woman among ordinary passengers took the initiative to chat with a girl in Group 2.

The girl's name is Jingjing. She is 21 years old. Not long after she joined the Baichuan Group, she was afraid of showing her flaws, which attracted the attention of her grandmother.

However, this old woman was also the "horn bearer", who immediately transformed into a beast and woke up the passengers in the entire carriage, triggering a collective rampage of beasts.

What followed was a chaotic and bloody fight.

Jingjing was the first to die. Her white neck was bitten off by the trumpeter, and she was quickly cut into pieces by other beasts.

Just one day ago, Jingjing agreed to her boyfriend's proposal, and she was still wearing the ring given by her boyfriend on her ring finger.

In less than 2 minutes, Group 2 won the fierce fight in the carriage at the heavy cost of sacrificing one companion and seriously injuring another.

Group 2 didn't even have time to regroup or grieve for their teammates. The subway entered the station again and the doors slowly opened.

This time, the passengers on the platform witnessed the tragic situation in the carriage. Needless to say, a new batch of beasts woke up again, and another round of desperate fighting began.

Group 2 sacrificed two companions again, including the previously seriously injured companion.

Group 2 escaped into the next car and locked the door. There were still 6 people in the team.

In less than 10 minutes, the subway entered the station again, and the "new passengers" on the platform woke up again. Under the cover of Lao Wang [Iron Man], the team members quickly escaped to the next car and got a brief respite.

Everyone's mental state is on the verge of collapse under the high pressure of despair.

An internal quarrel broke out. Lao Wang, as the deputy captain, was initially opposed to Cheng Xin's rash advancement and did not agree to get on the subway. However, Cheng Xin was so overjoyed and self-willed that he could be said to be fully responsible for the death of his companion.

Cheng Xin believed that everything was Jingjing's fault. If she hadn't exposed her identity as an awakened person due to nervousness, the entire group of nine people could have disguised themselves as ordinary passengers and continued to explore the Fudong.

There was no conclusion to the quarrel, so everyone calmed down again and discussed countermeasures.

If you want to get out of danger now, it is useless to avoid danger one car at a time, because the subway will always enter the station, and passengers will get on the train at every station. These passengers are beasts, and no car is truly safe.

If you want to be absolutely safe, you can only find the front of the car all the way and let the subway stop.

The two groups reached a consensus and took action immediately. Every time they entered a carriage, they locked the doors to ensure safety.

"Soon, we arrived at the first carriage."

When Wang Fei talked about this, he started to get excited: "The subway just entered the station, the door opened, and there were more than a dozen passengers on the platform. They immediately turned into beasts. But the door of the cab was locked, and it took time to open the door. Cheng Xin asked me to block it first. Stay at the subway door and don’t let those beasts in.”

Lao Wang gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"You activated [Iron Man] and blocked the door with your body. Cheng Xin and the others successfully entered the cab and left you behind."

"Yes."

Lao Wang lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Actually, when Cheng Xin asked me to block the door, I had some idea of ​​it. However, I didn't expect that he didn't hesitate at all and closed the door immediately."

Officer Huang sighed, took out a cigarette and handed it to Lao Wang: "Want one?"

Lao Wang waved his hand, "Thank you, I stopped quitting after I had a child." "You have a child?" This topic aroused Officer Huang's interest.

"Well, my daughter will go to elementary school next year." When talking about his daughter, Lao Wang's eyes flashed with light.

"Don't go too far, let's get down to business." White Rabbit interrupted.

"Okay." Lao Wang squinted and continued to recall: "I relied on [Iron Man] to block the subway door. It wasn't until the subway left that the three beasts rushed in."

Lao Wang showed a heavy wry smile: "I risked my life and took advantage of my invulnerability to get rid of the three beasts. Then I knocked on the door and scolded Cheng Xin for being such a bastard..."

Lao Wang stopped and took a breath.

"As a result, no one opened the door. I got angry and started to bang on the door. It took a lot of effort to open the door. When I looked behind the door, I was dumbfounded."

"Let me guess," Douhu turned his eyes slightly, "You realize that you are back to the starting point."

"How do you know?" Lao Wang was dumbfounded.

Douhu didn't rush to answer, "Go on."

"I thought to myself, isn't this the last carriage we were in when we first entered, but before I could figure out what was going on, the subway entered the station again, and there were another group of passengers on the platform. Good guy, there was another bugler inside. , they immediately went berserk."

Lao Wang was covered in cold sweat, with lingering fear in his heart: "More than a dozen beasts, how can I be my opponent? They will turn into metal immediately. Just hold on for dear life. Every second you live is a second, and all you can think about is the faces of your wife and daughter."

"I don't know how long I lasted, but I heard the sounds of fighting and people talking in the second carriage. At first, I thought I was about to die and hallucinating, but I decided to take a gamble, and you guys opened the door to save me. Got me..."

"Damn it." Douhu cursed, "It's really connected."

He glanced at White Rabbit, who understood, and immediately took out the half-severed finger from his pocket, "Recognize it, is this Jingjing?"

Lao Wang's face darkened and he closed his eyes unbearably: "It's her, a little girl in her early twenties."

Gao Yang didn't speak the whole time, his brain was thinking at high speed.

At this moment, he already had a preliminary guess and looked at Douhu eagerly. Douhu raised his brows and said, "Tell me."

Gao Yang licked his lips lightly and organized his words: "Although I don't know the specific reason, it is obvious that this subway is connected end to end, like a Möbius strip."

Everyone nodded and had no objection to this point.

"So I would hazard a guess that although the subway has been running, it has not really moved."

"What do you mean?" Lao Wang was a little confused.

"Literally."

Gao Yang stretched out his hand and gestured: "You think of the subway as a Ferris wheel lying flat. It keeps moving, but in fact it always rotates in one place."

"No wonder it's so stable!" Officer Huang suddenly realized.

"Well, each car is like a car on a Ferris wheel. It seems to us that it is connected, but in fact there is a special space between the cars."

"Every once in a while, the car will pull into the station, and then passengers will come in and passengers will go out. These passengers are all beasts. They have been pretending to be humans. They have been riding this rotating subway repeatedly, just like being in prison. Until we broke in."

"Everyone," Gao Yang took a breath: "Don't you think this scene looks familiar?"

"Gujia Village." Qing Ling blurted out.

"Yes." Gao Yang nodded, "This is definitely a rune cave, and there must be a rune circuit."
