112. The first snowfall

Catalina stared blankly at the spilled coffee and raised her head slowly: "What's going on?"

A line of transparent nasal mucus flowed out along with the words.

Lu Li looked out the window and saw that the shadows passing through the forest were gradually slowing down, and the running wind and snow became gentle.

Chi

White mist of steam spurted out from the side, and the carriage shook violently and came to a complete standstill.

The rising steam was dissipating, and the stopped train fell into dead silence.

Not long after, the waiter came from the front of the car to the VIP compartment.

"I'm very sorry for our guests, the tracks ahead are frozen and cannot pass."

"How long will it take?"

Caterina didn't want to talk. Evil Fall and Pusius were not suitable, so they could only communicate intermittently.

"It's not clear yet...the commander is contacting Surge Town and Majiao Town for rescue..."

After saying that, the waiter hurriedly walked to the back car.

Panic shouts came in briefly and were blocked outside the closed carriage door.

A few minutes later, the waiter returned to the VIP carriage and asked them to stay quiet and wait for the rails to melt.

The snow is still falling, with no sign of getting heavier or lighter. The train probably won't be able to start again until the snow stops.

"Will there be an accident?" Pusius asked quietly.

No one answered him.

After waiting for a while, the conductor, who was hurriedly crossing the carriage, was stopped by Pusius and asked again.

"Please rest assured, the ancient mark is not a decoration."

The conductor with a gentleman's beard did not realize that it was Proseus who said it, and replied what he had said hundreds of times: "The ancient marks on the car body were carefully carved by Master Proseus. There is no need to worry about safety issues, as long as you do not leave the carriage without permission... You

yes……"

After boarding the train, Lu Li took off his cloak and revealed his true appearance.

"Keep it a secret." Lu Li said.

"Of course...distinguished guest." He put his hand on his chest and saluted respectfully, then left the carriage backwards.

Not long after, they saw the conductor wearing a coat leading four trembling workers holding tools and complaining outside the carriage to check the icing conditions on the railway.

After a while they returned to the car.

The situation was not good. The icy road was very long. I walked forward for almost a mile without leaving the icy road. It was not possible to cut through the ice manually. The information sent back by contacting the outside world was also very bad. It was the first snow in the winter.

It attacked the entire northern part of the Main Familiar Continent, even the Vina Freezing Port was no exception.

No one knows how long this cooling will last, and how long the freezing will last...

What made Commander Chang Shu sigh was that the famous Exorcist was actually on the Woztek, and they should be rescued soon...

As time passed, the waiter changed the charcoal for the heater once so that the VIP carriage would not cool down due to the cold outside.

Passengers in the rear compartment did not receive such good treatment. They had to put on heavy clothes to keep warm.

The snow was a little heavier and white fell into the forest.

If you ignore the danger itself, this seems like a rare leisure time.

Near noon, a layer of mist loomed deep in the withered forest.

At first they were hidden in the falling snow, but gradually they became clearer and slowly diffused in the depths of the jungle.

"It's the weird fog! Why is it happening at this time!"

Pusius screamed in disbelief to attract everyone's attention.

Looking at the drifting mist, Lu Li thought, "Could it be a tide of fog?"

"Impossible. The fog tide will not appear for no reason, it will only come from the sea." Evil Fall replied, the fog tide will not appear without any warning.

Moreover, this mist came from the south, which meant that it crossed the entire Main Familiar Continent to reach here.

"Maybe it's the fog..."

Catalina shook her head. The fog never moved because it was a "moor".

The strange fog and mist were eliminated, and the Evil Fall could not sense the strange aura, but no one thought it was ordinary fog.

The conductor came over anxiously. He first asked Lu Li if he knew the source of the fog, and then politely hoped that Lu Li would let the passengers from other carriages come to the VIP carriage.

The VIP carriage is warmer and has more ancient marks.

You can vaguely hear the noise in the adjacent carriage.

"Let them come over." Lu Li said.

"Thank you for your help."

The captain left to convey the news behind him. Evil Fall looked at Catalina who was hesitant to speak just now: "What do you want to say?"

"nothing."

"Then I'll be the bad guy."

"It's better not to give up Mr. Evil Fall." Pusius suddenly stopped the self-interested content that Evil Fall wanted to say: "Isn't it because of the brilliance of human nature that we follow Mr. Lu Li?"

The evil Catarina hesitated to speak, and finally shook her head gently.

"I hope you won't regret this decision. Anyway, I only have five days left to live."

The carriage door opened, and soon the passengers poured into the VIP carriage.

The captain, who personally directed the order, arranged seats for them and scolded the idiots who came with their luggage.

Before the mist arrived, everyone on the train crowded into the VIP compartment, and the sounds of trivial whispers and cries echoed.

The captain did not forget to tell everyone that it was Lu Li and his group who allowed them to come in. Amid the thanks, some passengers looked at Lu Li with black hair and eyes in surprise and recognized him.

The mist has reached the edge of the woods, and its approach silences the whispers in the carriage. The curtains are drawn, and the atmosphere becomes oppressive and solemn, leaving only the sound of nervous breathing.

The last snowflake disappeared and mist enveloped the train.

In the mist blocked by the curtains, people gradually began to move.

Lu Li looked at Evil Fall, who shook his head in response.

Catalina lowered her head at this time and looked at the coffee cup in her hand. The shadow of the cup was emerging on the side of the coffee cup.

She looked up at Lu Li and found that he had already noticed something strange. Not only him, but everyone was looking out the window.

Sunlight penetrated the curtains and sprinkled dapples into the dusty carriage. Many people had never seen that brightness and warmth.

Some people lowered their heads in confusion and smelled the comfortable smell of clothes that had been exposed to the sun.

The noisy voices gradually sounded outside the carriage, and the shadows on the projection curtains gradually solidified.

The brave passenger opened a corner of the curtain.

They saw blue sky and white clouds, broad and lively bright streets and passers-by, wild dogs wagging their tails and chasing butterflies as they ran past, children running past playfully, and mothers holding vegetable baskets and holding their children's hands.

The carriage door opened at some point, and the clearer noise from the street flooded into the carriage.

Finally, some passengers stood up and walked out of the carriage.

"That's an illusion."

Lu Li said to him.

"Mr. Lu Li, you are from that era and you don't understand how much we yearn for sunshine..."

The young man who recognized Lu Li put on a faded gray-brown narrow-brimmed round hat, raised a smile and walked out of the carriage.

Passengers saw him looking around as he stepped out of the train, waving to the people behind the window with a smile, walking into the distance and blending into the figures on the street.

One after another, more than a dozen passengers could not see the scenery outside the carriage. They stepped out of the carriage and looked at the street curiously like children. They smiled and gradually walked away.

But many people did not get off the train. They saved shillings and bought train tickets, hoping to get a new life in the ice-free port of Vina.

A few minutes later, the fog suddenly became thick again, and the figures, noise, and sunlight were all lost in the fog.

The fog didn't last long, and quickly retreated into the woods and disappeared.

Only the melancholy and lost people in the carriage were left.
