Chapter 236 Desolate Land(1/2)

[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]

On the platform, there was no one.

The platform under the dim yellow light is mottled and old, and the weeds squeeze the yellowed tiles on the ground, growing out of the gaps. The corners of the wall are completely covered with vines, which looks much more broken than the platform in Wukongcheng, like a building that has been abandoned for a long time.

As the train stops, all car doors open automatically.

A few cautious passengers were deliberately behind, silently observing other people stepping out of the carriage.

You Xi and Lin Wu held the weapons in their hands tightly, were on guard, and took the lead in getting off the train, becoming the targets of those cautious passengers.

Of course they knew that someone had regarded them as the test subject, and wanted to determine whether there was any violation before getting off the bus. But in their opinion, the rule this time is only two words: time.

No matter why they had to leave the platform within 10 minutes, since such a message was given, it means that the most important thing this time is time.

They don’t want to waste time. As for what’s on the platform, I’ll try it out, and you won’t know.

After getting off the train, You Xi checked around as quickly as possible. There was still only one railway track here, and there was a platform on both sides of the train. This time the arrival hall was not opposite the platform.

Opposite the platform is a dilapidated wall with cracks falling off the wall. The wall can only be seen about three meters high, and then it is immersed in boundless darkness above.

On both sides of the platform, the left side is the direction where their train is coming. It is still dark outside the platform. The lights on the platform cannot project outside the platform's boundary line. The light seems to be swallowed by darkness when it reaches the boundary line.

The exit should be on the right side of the platform, but this time the platform is very long. It is estimated that there is still nearly two hundred meters away from the location of the train carriage 1. At the end is an upward staircase.

She watched through the train, and the situation was the same on the platform on the other side of the train.

Lin Wu looked at the phone screen, and the countdown was: 9 minutes and 15 seconds. He said, "There is only one way, let's go."

There were about 30 people getting off the train from each carriage in the first wave, distributed on the two left and right platforms of the train, keeping a little distance between them, and walking towards the stairs at the end with vigilant eyes.

Among them, there are experienced veteran travelers, and there are newbie passengers who have just woken up and are confused.

It is easy for novices to be identified. They always keep looking around, with a confused expression, and come to other people from time to time to ask this and that. Even if the person being asked is impatient and doesn't want to pay attention to them, they still keep asking questions: Why did they come here? Where is this? Why should they get off?

It's like a headless fly, panic but ignorant and fearless.

After getting off the bus, Lin Wu and Youxi analyzed the different situations between two stations - Wukong City and Barren Land. Generally speaking, when Wukong City, they use their brains more than physical strength, which just fits the numbers that need to use their brains to solve puzzles when getting off the bus.

In the barren land, if she had not made any mistakes in guessing, the difficulty of leaving this platform safely is probably focused on the other hand—

A scream interrupted everyone's pace. A novice passenger looking around pointed at the top of the platform wall on their back, and his voice trembled: "Then, what is that!?"

It was a black creature with limbs facing the wall and a long neck, like a snake. At the end of the neck, it was a twisted and dull face.

It slowly crawled out of the darkness above the wall, with its golden vertical pupils and pale lips spreading out bright red snake letters, and the sight that fell on them was like a beast staring at the prey.

Its crawling limbs can still see the human-like shape, but the joints are twisted in strange shapes, and a long black tail is dragged behind it. The tail is raised high, like a scorpion's tail hook.

But even though it was this ugly appearance at this moment, the passengers could see its former appearance at a glance - this should have been a human being.

The moment the passenger was stunned, the black creature suddenly accelerated its crawling speed, twisting its limbs like snakes and insects, quickly climbing down the wall and pounced on a passenger who had just gotten off the train without any preparation.

With a scream, the passenger was entangled by the creature's tail and dragged it to the ground. The creature climbed up on his body, pressed him with his twisted limbs, and his long neck came over with his dull face. The snake signal pointed at the eye socket and stabbed in instantly.

The screams changed to shrill, and blood gushed out of the eye socket. The passenger struggled desperately, but his tail was wrapped tighter. Snake Xin drifted deeper into his eye socket. He began to twitch his limbs, and finally there was no movement.

Dead, just in front of everyone.

The black creature retracted the snake letter and brought out another bunch of blood from the man's eye socket. It turned its head and looked at the others.

"Ah——" A novice passenger who was scared to death just now shouted again. The sound seemed to be a signal. At the same time, a horrifying call came from the platform on the other side of the train.

After observing the way the black creature attacked, You Xi and Lin Wu immediately turned their heads and ran towards the stairs at the end.

The two of them were originally at the front of the team and suddenly distanced themselves from other passengers behind them.

On both walls, there were several black creatures swinging their twisted limbs, crawling out of the darkness above. They did not need to tell whether anyone violated the rules, they were rules themselves.

Passengers on the platform began to run towards the stairs at the same time. Those passengers who were consciously smart and still stayed on the train to observe and test felt that something was wrong. Thinking of the 10 minutes in the prompt, they regretted not leaving the train first.

The two people who left first had already run forward for a distance, and most of the black creatures gathered near the train. When they got off the train now, it was equivalent to raiding out of the black creatures.

You Xi's speed and strength were not comparable to Lin Wu. She held Tang Dao in one hand and his arm in the other, almost running with him along the way.

"Be careful--" Lin Wu fell into his body and forced himself to stop the two of them. At the same time, the crossbow in his hand shot towards the right front a few steps away.

In order to avoid the creatures that appear from time to time on the wall, they subconsciously ran near the rails. As a result, a black creature suddenly climbed up from the track and almost bumped into it.

It twisted its body, and the arrows brushed its skin and fell to the ground, wiping a hole.

Its tail swayed around in pain, and suddenly rushed towards them faster. You Xi let go of Lin Wu and slashed horizontally. The other party stopped his body and fought with her long tail. It faced her Tang sword. The blade seemed to have passed some cold and hard scales, but it didn't even cut the hole.

This guy's tail is a weapon to welcome the enemy.

You Xi avoided the tail that the other party threw again and quickly slashed out three swords, one on his neck, one on his limbs, and the last one on his slender twisting body.

The black creature's neck and limbs were only cut, but the body was cut a big hole, and black liquid gushed out, and the air suddenly filled with a fishy smell.

The other party was like a snake that had been beaten seven inches, making a hissing sound while rolling in pain. It was extremely uncomfortable. What was even more disgusting was that she heard intermittent words mixed with hissing: "Hiss...eats you... hiss... hiss... hiss... hiss..."

If I just guessed that this thing was originally a human, it has been completely confirmed now.

Under what circumstances did the original human beings become like this?

The crossbow in Lin Wu's hand had been replaced by a hand grab. He aimed at the vital points of the creature's waist and snatched several times, but it was just a pain and twisted, and he was still not angry.

"Go away!" You Xi grabbed him again.

Several black creatures climbed up on the railroad tracks below the platform. Every minute of time passed, the number of creatures increased multiple times.

They all came from the darkness, and above the wall, where the train came from, and below the platform, there were creatures appearing in three directions. Only at the stairs on the other side of the platform, there were no black creatures, which was the only way to live.

The passengers who landed at the end were completely in chaos. Some people were trembling, but they still didn't dare to get off the bus even though they knew the consequences of the violation.

Some people wanted to fight to the death, but were hit by the front and back. The instinct of survival at the front line of life and death made him pull over his companion and push him hard towards the creature in front. When the creature entangled his companion's body, he fled.

Some people also use skills or weapons to blast a fishy bloody path during the creature's siege, pulling up the injured companion, and not willing to leave the other party behind if they die.

"Run! Run to death!"

"Ah——Save me, save me——”

"Come on, you all the messes! Kill you and kill you!"

"Run! There's not much time!"

...

Various sounds came from behind You Xi and Lin Wu. During the mixed period, the friction of a large number of creatures crawled across the walls and ground.

They quickly dodge new black creatures along the way, and will only attack unless they are blocked. They usually go with one blow and never finish the attack. This thing will not be killed for a while, and finishing it will only waste time.

You Xi completely let go of his speed and almost rushed up the stairs with Lin Wu in one breath.

There was a dim light above the stairs. They turned around and the black creatures who were chasing them stopped below the stairs. They were all hit by the vital points, and they were both painful and angry, making hissing sounds, and they wanted to pounce on them, but they didn't dare, or could not.

Within the range of stairs, they are areas outside the rules, and they can only move on the platform.

Other passengers came from behind, and the black creatures were immediately transferred to their target and twisted their bodies to pounce. However, with a bang, a black creature crawling in the front was hit by the vital part of the body. The originally slender body was broken into two pieces, and a large amount of black liquid exploded, including some internal organ fragments.

This time, its two bodies completely died after a crazy twist.

You Xi's [air hair dryer] aimed at the other two, and two air bombs hit the target accurately, killing the three black creatures surrounding the stairs.

"Friends ahead! Thank you!" The newly-run passengers originally thought there would be a fierce battle, but now the crisis has been lifted, they are all grateful.

You Xi put away the [air hair dryer]. There is only one star tool at present. After using 100 air bombs, she will only take it out and use it when needed.

The black creatures just killed, one was to remove the creatures that followed them to the stairs, and the other was to know if they could completely kill this black creature.

Now that the verification is over, she didn't say much, nodded to the passenger who was thanking him, and ran up the stairs quickly with Lin Wu.

Above the stairs is the exit hall, which is very calm, with a dreary light and broken and old.

Countdown: 6 minutes and 12 seconds, the two of them pushed open the glass door at the exit and plunged into the darkness.

After they left, several waves of passengers broke through the biome and ran up the stairs.

Countdown: 1 minute and 0 seconds, there are still many passengers under the stairs in a fierce battle. Someone heard a strange sound and looked at the direction of the train, and his soul was suddenly scattered.

In the darkness outside the platform, countless twisted and dull faces were poked out, densely packed, and were crawling towards them quickly.

Finally, the other passengers who ran up the stairs turned around and saw that the platform was gradually covered with black. Those were black creatures, like tides, screaming wherever they passed.

Someone was entangled by two creatures at the same time, and then was torn into two petals in the next second...

Someone rushed to the train window and patted the glass with his bloody hands, but was dragged down by the creature behind him...

No one was happy for running up the stairs in time. The scene in front of them only made them feel scared, their hands and feet trembled, and their hearts frightened.

People in the train who were supposed to get off but dared not get off all avoided the glass. They chose to escape and gave up the opportunity to give up the opportunity to give it a try. Some people were afraid while carrying a hint of luck, hoping that they could survive the countdown by the end.

But in the world of endless trains, the rules are equally fair to every passenger.

The countdown ended, and the train drove again and slowly left the platform. Those passengers who were supposed to get off but did not get off found that they were not taken away by the train. The train drove away, but they remained in the original place of the tracks.

The black creatures around them were still gnawing at other passengers raised their long necks, and the faces at the top of the neck were stained with bright red blood. They looked at the passengers left behind, and their mouths cracked and spit out red snake letters.

The platform darkened, and screams rang again in the darkness.

The sun is burning.

In front of you is the Gobi wasteland that can be seen at first sight, hundreds of meters to the right are rolling sand dunes, and hundreds of meters to the left are bare and strange red rock mountains.
To be continued...
