Moved to Golden Courtyard

Chief Engineer Xia looked up in surprise at Xu Qi, who was always standing in the front, seemingly never panicking and always so calm and composed.

"Char is doing this not only to awaken this company and this society to respect life.

Perhaps he also wanted to change the subway system in this city. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to kill some people? All he needs to do is to make one train lose its traction and one train lose its brakes. "

Chief Engineer Xia was speechless for a moment - indeed, they didn't even have a chance to remedy the situation now.

Xu Qi's eyes swept across the faces of those people in high positions one by one.

"This day is worth remembering for all subway people - but it's not over yet. If a company is really rotten to the core, it will collapse naturally without even the actions of Char today.

So there is still hope for the Shanghai Metro, but the hope is not here - it's not time to give up, Mr. Xia."

35. Professor Mobius, prepare for V2V

"The exoskeleton-assisted armored team of Track Shift 3 has arrived at the location and is ready to perform manual switch change operations."

"Command Hall received the message. Track shift three has started operations."

The large screen at the Meilong base command center was currently reflecting the surveillance situation inside the tunnel.

This is the best response given by the information security team - monitoring is still useful, otherwise the entire Shanghai subway would be blind.

In the picture, two maintenance workers wearing light blue exoskeleton assisted armor are using the high output of the armor to help with the switch change operation.

It was a manual push rod, but the force required was enormous.

It is impossible for normal humans to push it. Two employees wearing exoskeleton assisted armor must work together to pull the switch change push rod.

This is also a safety measure to prevent human beings from changing the switch.

"Switch change completed, waiting for train to pass."

Inside the hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the switch problem has been solved, it means that power outage operations can be carried out - the hope of stopping 956 is increasing.

However, only Xu Qi...he kept frowning and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Power supply shift 2 has arrived at point A and is preparing to close the switch and cut off power supply from the grid."

"Command Hall received, start the operation!"

Perhaps it was because hope was right before their eyes that the communications staff in charge of dispatching and command seemed extremely excited. After all, victory was right before their eyes!

On the surveillance screen, the power supply worker began to prepare to close the circuit breaker.

There were two people in a group, but his colleague suddenly turned his head and looked towards the tunnel.

"what happened?"

"Uh... I always feel like something is watching us."

"Ah?" The employee who was about to close the switch stopped, but after thinking about it, he decided to close the switch first.

"It could be a rat. After all, there is nothing in this tunnel..."

"boom!"

A firelight lit up in the dark tunnel, a gunshot rang out, the firing pin detonated the gunpowder, the bullet flew out of the barrel and unsurprisingly pierced the head of the employee who was about to close the switch.

When blood spurted out, his colleague didn't even react and just stood there in a daze.

In fact, he was not the only one. Everyone in the vehicle command hall stared blankly at the scene in front of them with their mouths half open.

gun……

more than……

In the surveillance footage, a huge mecha that was two people tall slowly walked to the place illuminated by the tunnel lights.

The bright red color of his entire body echoed with the blood flowing on the ground, making the scene look a bit artistic for a moment...

"This! Exoskeleton armor!?"

"Heavy exoskeleton armor... Could it be military use?!"

The hall was filled with noise, and everyone's nerves were almost broken at this moment! How could it be possible... How could such a monster be guarding there all the time!

And——someone died…

Although the dead were not passengers, the ones who died there were employees of the subway company!

Xu Qi seemed to realize something, snatched the intercom from the communicator and shouted.

"Char! Are you in there!?"

The sudden voice coming from the intercom hanging on the dead employee's body obviously attracted Char's attention.

He didn't even bother to care about the employee who was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and had lost control of his bowels and bladder.

The figure in dark red exoskeleton armor slowly walked to the tunnel platform. His huge body made this tunnel, which was extremely huge for ordinary people, seem a little narrow.

"Char! Answer me! Is it you?!"

The red armor's mask slowly opened, revealing the face of the person wearing the armor.

Chief Engineer Xia stood up suddenly! His face was pale and bloodless.

Char...

"It's you...Char!"

"Long time no see, Xu Qi. Your initiative and leadership never disappoint me."

“You must be joking! Char! You’re the only one who’s disappointing from the beginning to the end!”

"I am just guiding the Magic City Subway to continue moving forward, guiding humanity to continue moving forward, so don't stop me, Xu Qi! No..."

Char shook his head.

"It should be said that you are no longer able to stop me, Xu Qi. You should have asked someone to change the switch on Guilin Road, right?"

Xu Qi's face changed drastically!

"The train will enter the storage lane of Guilin Road, and so will the 956, which will never stop. It will collide with the train in front of it, and everyone on the train will die."

"You...what did you do to the manual turnout equipment on Guilin Road!?"

"Just a little bit of snap."

"Why would you do such a thing, Char!"

"I think that after reading that letter, you should be able to fully understand me."

Xu Qi was stunned, and even everyone in the Golden Courtyard who was still in the hall was stunned, especially Paduo, because she was the one who found the letter.

"I will reawaken people's respect and understanding for the lives of others."

"And the price is to let the current human beings be buried with him!?"

"That's right!" Xia interrupted Xu Qi forcefully, "If you want to change all this... then show me the courage of the entire Magic City subway.

Otherwise, nothing can be changed."

As soon as he finished speaking, an unidentified attacker directly crushed the surveillance camera and the intercom.

The surveillance screen went black. At the same time, desperate news came from the engineering department.

"Oh no! There's something wrong with the push rod for manually changing the switch. It seems that someone has added a buckle mechanism manually, and the push rod cannot be restored to its original position!"

……

Xu Qi put down the communication device.

At the same time, even worse news reached Fu Hua's ears.

Her face turned extremely ugly in an instant. After hesitating for a while, she decided to tell Xu Qi the news.

"Xu Qi... Kosmo is now in that 956. At the last moment when the communication was interrupted, he sent a message to the Golden Courtyard. It was an encrypted call.

Mebius has translated it - 'Terrorists have hijacked the train, the train must be stopped.'"

……

"Chief Engineer Xia! Mr. Xu Qi! Check the surveillance!"

The screen lit up again, this time at the intersection of Guilin Road. Countless people wearing exoskeleton armor surrounded the two maintenance workers.

And he sent out the signal very arrogantly.

"They said that these two people are now their hostages. If anyone dares to come and try to push the switch push rod again, they will be shot."

……

At this moment, the atmosphere of despair almost condensed the air in the hall into a ball - unable to breathe, unable to think.

It seems that no matter how they respond, the other side has a way to counterattack.

The planning of both parties... is totally not on the same level...

"Inform the Shanghai police. The emergence of terrorists on this scale is beyond our ability to handle."

Chief Engineer Xia was stunned, and so were the employees in the hall.

Everyone looked at Xu Qi in amazement, without saying a word.

"Is this... the end?"

Xu Qi turned around and looked at one of the employees.

"Why...should I surrender..."

"This is beyond our ability..."

"Don't say such nonsense! If you can't do it, don't give us any hope in the first place!...Don't give me...hope..."

Xu Qi frowned, and a leader of the vehicle walked up to Xu Qi and whispered.

"His wife and children are all in that car 956."

……

"I...did not give in."

The choking sound paused, and the man slowly raised his head, tears already covering his cheeks.

And Xu Qi still had no expression on his face.

"Chief Engineer Xia... I'll leave the command of the scene to you. I will personally end this. Notifying the police is just a correct decision on my part. Hope will not disappear."

"what are you up to?"

Xu Qi didn't answer, he just made a phone call.

"Professor Mobius... please prepare V2V for me."

36. Mei: Survive

"As expected... we have come to this point today..."

The voice on the other end of the phone startled Xu Qi—it wasn’t Mobius… it was Eden! ?

"Sister Eden!?"

Fu Hua and Paduo were both stunned. Ying couldn't help but look up, full of surprise - Eden? Is she back?

"Ever since you got into trouble last time, I've had a bad feeling in my heart. As soon as I got off the plane early this morning, I rushed back to the Golden Courtyard, but unfortunately... it seems I'm still a step too late."

"Sister Eden..."

"In fact, I saw everything that happened in the command hall through Padu's pinhole probe. There is no reason for me to stop a young man from doing what he wants to do..."

Xu Qi half-closed his eyes and looked at Paduo.

The cat decisively looked away guiltily, looking left and right.

"Boy." The voice changed and it was Mebius, "Come out and look above."

Xu Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran out of the hall! Seeing this, the employees of the Magic City Metro in the hall also ran out. They wanted to see what Xu Qi had heard.

And the fact is... the scene happening before our eyes can be said to be something that can only be seen in movies...

The roar of a huge engine came from above everyone's head, and the violent hurricane washed over every employee who rushed out of the command hall.
