Chapter 72: Night 13 Road

Beijing, Chaoyang Chaowai Street Shenlu Street Station, a girl who has just turned 18 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, has a delicate appearance, with a shawl and black hair simply knotted behind her head, and the northwest wind is disturbing a few strands of hair on her forehead
Rocking back and forth. As usual, she was waiting for the No. 13 bus across Beijing. As a waiter at a KTV, it was normal to go home at 1 a.m.
The girl’s surname is Ye, and her given name is Yang. Friends often call her Xiaoye. She is from Shanxi. She did not do well in the college entrance examination, so she went to work with her parents in Beijing. After being introduced by her parents and friends, she found a temporary job as a KTV waiter. After nearly half a month of hard work,
She has started studying so well that she is planning to find a suitable time to discuss with her parents about returning to her hometown to resume her studies.
Going west, behind Shenlu Street Station is the Dongyue Temple, a Taishan temple that saves the emperor from traveling to and from Shandong. At this time, it looks particularly eye-catching and is incompatible with the surrounding cement buildings.
Lightning flashed from time to time in the northwest sky. Fortunately, Xiaoye was carrying an umbrella every day. Xiaoye was secretly thankful. The night bus was every half an hour. Xiaoye had been waiting for a long time. It was estimated that No. 13 bus would arrive soon.
In the early morning of the ambush, Chaowai Street was still busy, and it seemed that the lightning was getting closer and closer. At this time, Xiaoye was a little anxious and began to complain about the long interval between buses.
Finally, Route 13 arrived at night. After waiting for the traffic light at the intersection ahead, we reluctantly stopped at Shenlu Street Station where Xiaoye was the only one waiting.
Xiaoye's anxiety calmed down a lot, and she quickly boarded the bus that had been upgraded from a tram to a superconducting magnetic levitation bus. After confirming her boarding with Taipu, Xiaoye walked to the back row. She was used to sleeping on the bus for a while. Inside the bus
As usual, there were few passengers.
Night 13, driving slowly and smoothly through the north gate of the Forbidden City and Beihai. Every time I go here, Xiaoye can't help but look at it a few more times, thinking about a certain elder brother or Fujin in the palace fight drama...
"Dear passengers, Night 13 bus has arrived at the terminal, Haidian Wuluju Station. Please bring your belongings and prepare to get off. Please confirm when getting off to avoid over-deducting fares." Xiaoye was woken up by the bus's main control artificial intelligence.
, she reluctantly opened her eyes and saw the wind and rain outside the bus, and lightning and thunder.
"Hey, we're lucky enough to catch up with this damn weather!" Xiaoye muttered, took out an umbrella from his backpack, then put his shoulders back and checked quickly, then held up the umbrella and carefully got off the bus, fearing that the rain would wet his shoes.
She was too careful. At this time, there was no less than ten centimeters of water everywhere on the surface. She had no choice but to make do. Xiaoye decided to wade home through the water.
Although the wind was not strong, it was enough to blow over the umbrella held by Xiaoye, but the rain was surprisingly heavy. Xiaoye had to hold the umbrella handle tightly to avoid the wind from blowing the umbrella askew, and to keep his clothes clean. Because he still had to walk one kilometer.
Lu, Xiaoye simply gave up her beloved shoes and half of her trouser legs.
"My home is nearby, right?" Suddenly the front door of the No. 13 bus opened at night.
Xiaoye looked around and saw no one, so he was convinced that the bus intelligent system was asking him a question.
"Smart bus? Could it be that the smart bus system breaks through its own capabilities and begins to have human thinking?" Xiaoye became more and more frightened as he thought about it carefully. After all, except for extremely cutting-edge space systems, humans have not yet dared to try to apply in the field of life that have reached or even surpassed ordinary human thinking.
smart system.
Since the first grade of high school, artificial intelligence courses have been offered in high schools around the world, and Xiaoye has already had a deep understanding of the basic principles and applications of artificial intelligence.
"Run!" Xiaoye had only one thought in his mind at this time!
Unexpectedly, the rushing water made it difficult for her to take steps, but Ye 13 Road restarted and followed closely behind her.
"The city's flood control emergency command center notified that in order to prevent accidents among citizens, smart buses are required to deliver every passenger to a safe area." The smart buses once again told Xiaoye.
"Damn, you are so heartwarming? Why don't you notify the public through the national emergency system in the middle of the night, instead of letting this strange car scare people?"
Xiaoye stopped panicking, calmed down and waited for the smart bus to rescue her, because she was really unable to escape from the pouring rain and the turbulence that was about to reach her knees.
"The city's intelligent transportation system has used facial recognition to locate your residence and plan the safest route for you. If you agree, please answer yes. If you disagree or the address is wrong, please relocate."
"Public management finally deprived me of my privacy. Hey, for the sake of saving my life, I don't care!" Xiaoye thought silently in his heart.
"The address is correct!"
"Please sit tight and hold on, let's go now." The smart bus slowly waded through the half-meter-high deep water and drove northward toward the West Fourth Ring Road. It seemed to be calm and unhurried, but in fact it was helpless.
There were no customers in the car. Xiaoye never believed in ghosts and gods, so she became fearless. But who knew what would happen next would be enough to scare her, if she could still be conscious after that.
The bus turned right from the end of Linglong Road onto the auxiliary road of West 4th Ring Middle Road. It was then that the hover car on the main West 4th Ring Road was not affected. However, after entering the 4th Ring auxiliary road, the bus did not drive very far and stopped under the 5th Road Ju Overpass.
Down……
I saw that the culvert in front had been flooded by floods and was close to the top of the cave.
"The optimal route is cut off by water accumulation. The best route I can deliver can only go here. You need to walk through the rest of the road. After getting off the car, go north from the platform on the right, enter the western suburbs grain depot, and walk in a straight line for 50
meters, there is an iron fence. Turn left 10 meters and you will see a hole. After passing through it, go west along the railway until you reach the Yongding River diversion canal and you will see the area where you live."
"So complicated? I'm afraid I can't remember it."
"Your previous route home was almost flooded by rain. This is the only route home. Don't worry about not remembering it. I have already sent the route to you in Taipu."
Xiaoye hesitated to speak. In this era that emphasizes individuality and privacy, privacy has been violated several times in the past half hour, but what can we do about this heavy rain! What can we do about this smart bus that advertises rescue?
"Okay, thank you!" Xiaoye quickly jumped off the bus, holding an almost useless umbrella, wading through the crosscurrent that did not decrease, and climbed onto the platform three meters above the Fourth Ring Road with difficulty.
Apart from the rapids, there is no accumulation of water on the platform, so walking is easier.
The grain depot is connected to the Fourth Ring Road, and there are no facilities to hinder vehicles. "This stupid bus can obviously drive up here, why do you let me walk for such a distance!" Xiaoye complained about the damn weather and the so-called smart bus that did not plan the route well.
.
The Xijiao Grain Depot was originally used for grain and oil storage by China Grain Storage. More than ten years ago, it was gradually turned into a parking lot and a transfer station for some logistics companies due to new logistics methods.
Connected to the Xijiao Grain Depot, there is a railway track leading to the Xijiao Airport and Xishan. Although the new trains have long abandoned the rails, to prevent the shortage of new energy and the paralysis of the intelligent transportation system, the country's rails are still in use, and the rails here are also
It has been preserved until now, but it is almost deserted. There are overgrown weeds on both sides of the railway track. When there is abundant rain in summer, the weeds can be as tall as a person.
Xiaoye followed the navigation and successfully found a hole in the iron mesh that he could drill through. In order to drill the hole, he had to give up his umbrella and got a heavy shower on his body, but he did not regret it. After all, even holding an umbrella could not protect him from the wind and rain, and his whole body had already been soaked!
Passing through the mesh hole and then boarding a half-meter-high platform is the east-west railway track. The smart bus is right. The track is on a higher terrain and there is no accumulation of water. It is suitable for walking on sleepers to go home.
Under the railway bridge is the West Fourth Ring Road. The water in the culvert is too deep for the suspension vehicle to pass through. Dozens of vehicles are blocked at both ends, waiting for rescue. Several drainage trucks are busy on the north side with their light yellow rescue lights flashing...
Xiaoye looked around. Although his vision was blurry, he could still see some things. "This damn weather won't drown people, right?" Xiaoye said to himself.
The sudden thought made her feel scared. She should go home as soon as possible! Xiaoye simply threw away her umbrella and quickened her pace. However, when she saw the tall grass on both sides in front of her, her fear rose again. She really wanted her father to pick her up.
, but the crazy rain made her feel sorry for her father, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward, counting the sleepers. After about 150 meters, she reached the east bank of the Yongding River Diversion Canal.
Bounded by the Yongding River Diversion Canal, the gap between rich and poor is completely different on the east and west sides. On the east bank are high-end communities with numerous villas. On the west side, the houses are low and dilapidated because of the airport's access and arrival, and the rents are low. For this reason, people from the lowest level of society gather. Nearly 10
In recent years, global resources have been concentrated on the backlash plan. Although social construction has not been abandoned, in some areas it can only maintain the status quo.
The house Xiaoye and his parents rent is on the west bank of the Yongding River Diversion Canal. If he wants to go home, he must cross this bridge, which was built for the railway tracks over 70 years ago.
The rain was much lighter than before. Xiaoye looked at the river that was almost swollen and was about to overflow with fear. After all, even on weekdays, he would not dare to pass by this place.
In addition to the bridge, the roaring floods in the Yongding River diversion channel frightened Xiaoye even more. With the help of lightning, the originally clean river water was now full of messy things, and the turbid floods were rushing down!
While hesitating, his father called, and Xiaoye couldn't wait to pick up the call.
"Yangyang, where are you? I'm at the terminus of No. 13 Road?"
"Dad, it's a pity that I got off the car early and will be home soon. It's raining so hard and you didn't even say a word when you came out to pick me up."
"I'm afraid you won't let me pick you up, so I'm speechless. I've been waiting here for nearly an hour. When did you get off the bus?"
"An hour? You went to the wrong place, right? It's only been more than ten minutes since I got off the bus."
"How could I go to the wrong place? Haven't I picked you up several times before?"
Hearing this, Xiaoye suddenly felt a little scared. Seeing that the wind and rain did not stop, it was better to go home first and then talk in detail, "Dad, there may be a misunderstanding. I crossed the railway bridge and got home. You should go home as soon as possible."
, we’ll talk more about it when we get home.”
"Okay, walk slowly and be careful. I'll be back soon." Xiaoye's father said a few words and hung up Taipu.
Don't think about other things, cross the bridge immediately and go home! Xiaoye thought in her heart, and walked towards the railway bridge on the sleepers without hesitation. Little did she know that this step was getting further and further away from home.
Xiaoye walked quickly. When she just reached the middle of the bridge, the sleepers under her feet began to shake. The shaking was like an angry flood under the bridge. It became more and more violent. Xiaoye could no longer stand and fell hard on the rails. She struggled.
Xiaoye tried to stand up, but at this moment the entire reinforced concrete bridge tilted upstream. The speed was so fast that Xiaoye couldn't grab anything, so he fell into the Yongding River diversion channel along with several sections of sleepers.
The screams for help, fear, and despair were drowned together with Xiaoye in the roar of lightning, thunder, and floods, and I'm afraid no one could hear it.
