Shen Qiu used the ID of the KPI department to successfully enter the station through the special inspection channel.
As the largest transportation hub in the City of Clear Sky, the building here is very grand. It has an eggshell shape, with a floor height of more than 30 meters, and the top is all made of transparent glass, allowing sunlight to shine directly in during the day.
The floors are uniformly laid with neat tiles, and the seats in the waiting hall are all free massage chairs.
A well-dressed passenger carrying a briefcase and luggage sat on it.
Overall, the number of passengers in the intercity train station is indeed much smaller than the overcrowded scene in Shen Qiu's memory.
But it's normal. In extraordinary times, if there isn't something important going on, who would be running around anyway.
Of course, apart from this reason, there is another most important reason, which is that the number of trains to other cities has been reduced and the fares have tripled.
Take the second-class seat leading to the City of Sinking Star purchased by Shen Qiu, for example. The price reached an astonishing 4,500 alliance coins. If it were replaced by the old one, it wouldn't even cost 1,000 alliance coins.
Shen Qiu found an unoccupied massage chair and sat down, waiting quietly.
In front of him was a huge electronic scrolling screen, on which the schedules of various trains were constantly floating.
"A142 high-speed train, delayed by 2 hours and 13 minutes."
"A11 high-speed train, stopped."
About half an hour later, a sweet radio voice sounded.
"Dear passengers, the A688 high-speed train departing from the City of Sunny Sky to the City of Sunken Stars is ready. Please pass the ticket gate in an orderly manner, enter the sunken elevator, and go to underground platform No. 1. Since this is an emergency period, , the train can only travel through the underground tunnel network. It will pass through the Second Administrative District, the City of Glory, and stop for a period of time. Finally, we will arrive at the City of Sinking Stars at 8 o'clock the next morning. I wish all passengers a happy journey."
Shen Qiu stood up immediately after hearing the announcement and walked towards the ticket gate.
As a result, he found that at least one-third of the passengers in the lobby had gotten up, and there were almost 900 people in total.
So the queue is very long.
Shen Qiu didn't care. He chose a team at random. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to get on the bus smoothly.
"Finally the tickets have been checked. This time we can go to the City of Sinking Star."
"Have you completed the procedures there?"
"Don't worry, we have everything in place for the temporary residence permit and the house has been rented. As long as we settle there for a period of time and complete the procedures, we can settle there."
"Isn't there a way to get it right in one step?"
"Actually, I also want to get it done in one step, but too many people have the same idea as us. Recently, the review department has gone crazy, crazy about passing applications. Either the City of Sinking Star does not accept it, or the City of Clear Sky does not accept it. put."
A young couple held a three-year-old boy and chatted anxiously.
Shen Qiu stood there and listened quietly.
Compared with the anxious couple in front, the two lovers behind him were much more optimistic.
"This time when we go to the City of Sinking Stars, we must stand firm."
"Well, that's right, let's work together. I heard that not only are there sufficient supplies there, but they're also safe."
"Well, after all, it is the City of Sinking Star, the most dazzling existence of the Red Alliance."
Shen Qiu was used to listening to their discussions.
There is nothing wrong with people walking to higher places and water flowing to lower places.
People in the City of Clear Sky naturally think that City of Sinking Star is good, but people in the lower areas also think that City of Clear Sky is good.
On the other side, the underground platform.
Zhao Lian was wearing a red train service uniform with a white corset, a red silk scarf tied around her neck, and she was dragging a small suitcase.
Next to him stood four young and beautiful female colleagues wearing the same uniform.
Several people were also chatting and laughing and gossiping.
"Ling Fei, I heard that you have a boyfriend."
"Wang Jiajia, how do you know?"
"Oh, how could we not know? Just now I saw him driving you here. It was a limited-edition sports car, and I also saw that he had bodyguards with him. He must be worth a lot of money."
"It's okay, I'm not particularly rich. However, you may have made a mistake."
"What's wrong?"
"He's not here to see me off, we're here together. He's also going to the City of Sinking Stars. Then he'll take you to play together, and all food, drinks, and accommodation are included."
"Really, that's great!"
At this time, Zhao Lian and another quieter girl just listened quietly and did not speak to each other.
They were a bit out of touch with this topic.
But it's normal. After all, she and Lin Zhu both passed the exam on their own, and their family backgrounds are not very good, so they try not to participate in these as much as possible.
On the contrary, Ling Fei and the other two are from very good families.
At this time, Ling Fei turned to look at Zhao Lian and asked.
"Xiaolian, I remember you don't have a boyfriend yet."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"You are already a grown-up, why don't you talk about it?"
"I haven't found the right one."
Zhao Lian replied with a smile.
"We definitely can't talk about it if we don't have the right one. I'm telling you, when you're looking for a boyfriend, you have to find someone who is strong. You can't be vague."
Ling Fei said to Zhao Lian.
Wang Jiajia interrupted with a smile.
"Aren't you embarrassing Xiaolian? How can she meet anyone with strength in her social circle?"
"Xiao Lian, how about I introduce you to one of my boyfriend's brothers? They are all very capable."
Ling Fei said to Zhao Lian diligently.
"No."
Xiaolian shook her head and refused softly.
"Xiao Lian, don't be so rigid. I heard that your finances are quite tight recently. It would be great to have someone who is capable and can help you improve your situation!"
Wang Jiajia tried her best to persuade.
Zhao Lian just smiled and changed the subject.
"It's time for us to get on the bus and get ready. Passengers will be coming up soon."
"Okay, you should think about it."
In the waiting hall, Shen Qiu finally arrived at the ticket gate.
I saw a soldier holding a gun at the ticket gate, watching the passing passengers.
Shen Qiu passed smoothly and followed the crowd to the entrance of the sinking elevator.
It is said to be an elevator. To be more precise, it should be a closed sinking platform that can accommodate hundreds of people at a time.
Shen Qiu followed the crowd and walked onto the sinking elevator.
Soon after the glass doors closed, the sinking elevator began to descend.
Through the glass, you can see the reinforced concrete walls constantly sliding past.
Many tourists commented in surprise.
"So deep."
When the sinking elevator stopped and the glass door reopened, Shen Qiu was a little surprised. He felt that he had dropped almost a hundred meters.
If nothing else, my body temperature suddenly dropped a lot.
After stepping out of the sunken elevator, they came to a wide underground platform.
If you look closely at the walls of the underground platform, you will see that they are all rough concrete walls. Apart from the necessary lighting, ventilation facilities, and emergency rescue tools, there are not many decorations.
