Chapter 108 Leaving, Arriving at the Cursed Station
I don’t know what kind of thing this constantly discharged “point” is, what principles it is formed by, or even whether it can recognize external abilities.
But it must have the ability to receive external information, but the sensing range is not large, otherwise Khan would not be so cautious, but he was not particularly nervous either.
This strange creature bared its teeth and claws for a while, then retreated into the depths of the subway, and darkness returned to the tunnel.
"We call this kind of thing an abnormal point. It is a new phenomenon in the new world..." Khan explained the general information of this strange "point".
"It's a bit like ball lightning," Xie Yuan added his observation, "but it's much more stable. The secret should be at the point in its center. Is it conscious?"
"If we were exposed just now, he would be attracted to it, so yes," Khan replied. "Do you have any feelings about it? Like evil or something like that?"
"No! This kind of thing has not appeared on land for the time being. I can't comment. I just feel that this thing is not evil but very dangerous."
...Maybe we can have a good energy supply."
"Well, I just remembered that you have a very simple view of right and wrong, whether it is dangerous or not, and whether it can be exploited. This is... worthy of praise." Khan appreciated Xie Yuan's point of view, "...how should I put it...
…It is no more ‘evil’ than fire.”
"But it's harder to control than fire, how can I put it? If I have clothes based on the Faraday cage principle or all-rubber protective clothing, I would be happy to weigh them.
But it's a pity that I don't have it. My understanding of this kind of dangerous goods is that if chickens and dogs smell each other, please don't interact with them for the time being." Xie Yuan retorted. He had already seen the orange light, and it seemed that Khan's destination was coming soon.
Unfortunately not, this is just a temporary spot installed by Khan with permanent lighting - an abandoned carriage. The real destination is to climb on top of this carriage and then walk a while.
However, before leaving, this anomaly still left a deep impression on Xie Yuan.
When he was about to climb into the carriage and walk all the way to Khan's destination, Xie Yuan felt that the monster was about to appear, but just as he drew out his knife and prepared to greet it, Khan held down his hand.
"Stay where you are and don't worry about them." Khan gestured to Xie Yuan to look next door. It turned out that the anomaly that had just gone away had reappeared.
The abnormal point that I went to and returned to this time was on the other side of the track, which is also the side where the monster appeared.
Basically, no matter how many Nosaris there were, they were just serving food to the anomalies, and all of them were scorched black by high-voltage electricity, and then exploded to the ground.
As the abnormal point continues to advance, no one will survive wherever it goes.
"This is the power of the abnormal point - a vivid demonstration." Khan climbed into the carriage and pulled Xie Yuan up as he said it.
"Yes, there is no good way to deal with it for the time being." Xie Yuan also agreed with a cold sweat on his face. He could be faster and more agile than the Dark One, but this "suspicious creature" that didn't know its weaknesses was really powerless.
"Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is a God outside the world! I am still very insignificant." Xie Yuan suddenly felt that the little ability he had now was nothing.
"We're here." After walking through the carriage, Khan took Xie Yuan for a short distance, and saw a motorized rail car parked on the side of the road... and there was a human body in the tunnel next to it.
The white bones are... strange, I haven't seen this thing in a long time.
Khan got on and started the engine of the rail car, reminding: "Get on that car. The tunnels ahead should be safe, and it will be easier to get there."
After seeing Khan put out the standby signal light, Xie Yuan also got on the train, sat opposite Khan, and watched as Khan successfully started the engine and the rail car officially hit the road.
"Huh!" He finally left this place. Xie Yuan suddenly felt relieved. Although he may see more unspeakable things later... but it is good to get rid of a depressing place now.
"Artyom," Khan sat on the driving chair, operating the starting valve, but staring at Xie Yuan, "you have a glorious and arduous task. Do you really think Metropolis will help you?"
In other words, this is really hopeless and there is nothing else to believe in?"
"..." Xie Yuan considered what he was going to say next.
"You don't have to answer me." Khan saw Xie Yuan's hesitation and stepped down.
In fact, the first answer was okay, but the second question, Xie Yuan's idea was too shocking, and he didn't know how to tell Khan.
Everyone in the metro station knows that there are now four major forces in Moscow, which are: Hanseatic, Red Line, Fourth Reich, and City-State.
On the surface, the "Battle of Soviet-Germany" was a reversal of history. Needless to say, only the Hanseatic people and the city-states could help. The Hanseatic people had capital and the city-states had technology, so Xie Yuancai went to Polis for help for this reason. If he failed, he would go to the Hanseatic people.
Sa.
Hansa has longed for the Exhibition Hall Station and will not be reluctant to eat this bait.
But what few people know is that these four should actually be one, corresponding to the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Intelligence, and the Ministry of Development in the old Maoist system.
In the past, the functions of these departments could be found in these four departments, so it can be seen that as long as these four forces are unified, they can form a powerful subway regime.
So the question is, who wants to instill pure-blood ideology in the Fourth Reich, which is full of Muscovites? Who instills the early security jurisdiction system in the red line without corresponding ideological theories?
They are all incomplete political programs, and then provoke internal strife between the two parties, breaking up the originally united whole, causing most of the people's energy to be spent on internal fighting.
Does this mean that there is a higher-level ruling group that is distorting everyone's thoughts and that they have set a deep spiritual trap in the subway?
This is where Xie Yuan came out to ask for a certificate.
Because if so, Xie Yuan would have to modify all the plans he had made before, and then take his adoptive father away from here to find a place for Alexei to retire.
Because if even the ruling class no longer treats people as human beings, but treats them as burdens, expendables, and slaves, any effort Xie Yuan makes will be in vain.
Because they don’t want to be human at all, they want to be masters, they want to be their past supreme emperor, the Tsar, they even want to be gods!
Regarding this kind of unscrupulous force, Xie Yuan's consistent policy is not to offend these people. Is it difficult for him to avoid them?
"We are about to arrive at the "cursed" station." Khan suddenly interrupted Xie Yuan's thinking. He stood up and turned to the light and looked at the road ahead. At this moment, there was a mutant monster "Luca" around him.
Fleeing like crazy.
Xie Yuan had an inexplicable feeling that he was this Luca. Facing the wave of distortion of human nature in the apocalyptic era, he had no choice but to escape.
After Khan saw that the road ahead was safe, he sat down again and continued to introduce to Xie Yuan: "That station was constantly being attacked mercilessly by monsters, and all those who could walk had already finished.
There are only a few unlucky souls left there who have nowhere to go.”
"Really?" Xie Yuan shrugged, looking indifferent, "When we get there, if I can do anything, I will definitely help!"
…
The name Cursed Station is no accident - the residents of that station are locked in a war for survival that will never end.
Before Xie Yuan arrived at the station, Khan told him the story of the station and the origin of its name.
In the past, this was a normal station city with not only remaining warriors, but also ordinary residents, developing peacefully and prosperously.
However, there was a gap somewhere, and countless subway monsters and mutant groups, pay attention to the "group", began to gather in this place.
Unlike the Dark Ones, these are purely carnivorous creatures and relentless enemies. The soldiers in the subway tried their best to kill batch after batch of mutant monsters, but the new monsters would still step on the same kind.
body came.
As a result, the mutant monster's old name, Cursed Creature, was transferred to this station, and the Cursed Station was born.
The subway soldiers treated the whole place as a battlefield, moved the civilians to nearby stations, and constantly set up roadblocks, turning the place into a brutal street battle on the level of Steelgrad.
As soon as Xie Yuan got off the bus at this station, he was still thinking about this story, but he heard urgent gunshots, and Khan's expression suddenly changed!
"This station is under attack again!" Khan immediately sped up and ran up, "Let's go, kid. We have to help the defenders."
Xie Yuan immediately followed Khan. After the two rushed to a T-junction, a cry suddenly came from the right: "Khan!?! Come here quickly!"
Following the sound, Xie Yuan and Khan came to a place with a large amount of steel scraps spliced together to form a wall as the main roadblock. There were only three people here.
There are only three people at the main roadblock? Xie Yuan looked at these people with tired eyes, some just stopped crying after the people came over, and now they can't stop crying.
There were still a few pieces of cloth covering the bodies on the ground. They seemed to be the victims. The smoke was still lingering on the bodies of the three people. It seemed that a battle had just ended.
However, Xie Yuan and these people did not know each other, so the only one who could answer the question was Khan: "Were we attacked again?"
"Yes, they broke through our outer defense line." The person who answered was a middle-aged man wearing an armored soft helmet and a small T-shaped hammer on his body. He looked at the remaining three people around him, his eyes
Full of sadness, "We are the only ones left alive. I don't think we can survive tomorrow."
There were only three people left in the huge subway! Xie Yuan was a little shocked. On the one hand, this monster disaster was too serious; on the other hand, everyone persisted in such a dangerous environment. These subway warriors are really good guys!
Khan's expression was also sad, but now he wanted to solve the problem more: "Where did these monsters come in from?"
"As usual, they came from the tunnel and fork on the left." The middle-aged man put his gun behind him and reported the recent situation to Khan, "We sent an explosion team, but they didn't come back. We are now
There is no one left to send.”
The Khan immediately turned around and looked at Xie Yuan: "Artem, don't you hope to save your station from destruction? Look here, this is destruction. We have to help them."
He pointed to the passage on the right and asked Xie Yuan to go there first: "Go find the rest of the demolition team - they have bombs. Then blow up the tunnel on the left as soon as possible and run as far away as possible before the explosion - the bomb is very powerful.
.”
"As for the fork in the road," he pointed upstairs, "it has collapsed once before, but it seems that Nosalis drilled a tunnel through the collapsed place.
There was a closed windbox there—that windbox must have been open and pulled down. You had to lock it or break it."
"As for me," Khan pointed to himself, "I will stay here with the survivors. If there are too many monsters, (Khan stamped his feet) we will lure them this way."
Xie Yuan nodded and took out his scimitar from behind with his left hand. When it comes to cutting monsters, a slightly larger knife is still easier to use than two butterfly knives.
"Wait a minute," the middle-aged man called to Xie Yuan as if he were a fool, and took out a dozen rounds of shotguns. "Young man, are you out of bullets? How do you get out with a knife? Take these shotguns."
"Give it to me as a thank you gift when I come back!" Xie Yuan declined the middle-aged man's kindness and left without looking back. He only left one sentence, "This is quite simple. You don't need to use a gun at all. It's very easy."
It’ll be fine soon.”
"You!" The middle-aged man stamped his feet angrily and looked at Khan, "Why did you bring such a young boy to such a dangerous place? Go out with a knife. I have never seen such a stupid person."
"Anyone who dares to kill monsters with a knife is either a fool or a really capable master." Khan looked at Xie Yuan's back and comforted the middle-aged man, "You know, although he has never encountered someone like this.
It was a tragic situation, but the number of monsters he killed was almost half of what you killed.
And he solved it with a knife!"
The middle-aged man thought hard for a while and looked at Khan with wide eyes: "Did you invite Artyom, who was praised as a "monster killer" in the north?"
"That's right!" He punched his palm with his fist, "You said his name is Artyom, but are his abilities real? They couldn't have been blown out, right?"
"Let's wait and see, and the work we have on hand is not light either." Khan folded his hands and looked into the distance with a melancholy face, "Artyom, your burden will be heavier, so be careful!"
