The sound of the train clanging against the rails continued for a long time. Since they were in a tunnel, the only thing they could see outside the window was the rapidly receding darkness.
There was not a single posthuman from another world in the spacious and silent carriage. Lin Sanjiu sat in the carriage for a long time, unable to process the situation she was in.
Wasn't it supposed to be the end of the world?
Although there was no sign of any survivors, the lights, elevators, high-speed trains … What was going on?
Also, where was this car going?
Feeling a little uneasy, she stood up and walked around twice.
Even though Lin Sanjiu had already checked every nook and cranny of the train, she still felt uneasy if she sat still in her seat. She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The train was not long, so Lin Sanjiu soon reached the end of the train and arrived at the driver's door. Just like before, the door was shut, and there was no sound coming from inside. No matter how hard she tried, there was no response.
Since the car was moving, there should be someone inside, right? From the looks of the car, it didn't look like it had self-driving technology.
She looked at the door lock and felt that she could break it with a single punch. However, there was something wrong with this place. In the end, she decided to stay put and observe the situation.
However, it had been two hours since he got on the bus, and there was still no sign of the bus stopping.
Lin Sanjiu could understand the route map hanging in the carriage, but the names of the stations were so foreign to her that they were meaningless. The dots that represented the stations were quite far apart from each other, so it should be a long-distance train.
If that was the case, it wouldn't be strange for the travel time to be longer.
"Tennessee Farm Station, Gaonan Station … What are all these?" The names of these stations were rather strange. Lin Sanjiu looked from the starting station to the "Kisaragi Station" where she boarded the train. Then, she looked at the next station.
"The next stop is … Mausoleum Primary School?"
Among a bunch of unknown station names, this one was strangely normal.
"Forget it. Let's just go back and wait for the bus to get off." Lin Sanjiu decided to deal with the situation by staying the same.
Even she herself did not realize that ever since she came to the New World, she had grown so much stronger. The number of times he muttered to himself had unknowingly increased.
Even after experiencing two apocalyptic worlds, this was the first time she felt like she was the only living human in the world. Unwittingly, this gave her a lot of pressure. As if to fight against this insanely heavy loneliness, Lin Sanjiu would talk to herself from time to time.
In the monotonous sound of the car. The sudden female voice quickly dissipated in the air, and only silence responded to her, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
The fluorescent light flashed twice more, as if the contact was not good.
The surface of the green leather chair he was sitting on was cracked and creaking when he moved. The bone-chilling winter wind whooshed in through the gaps of the carriage. Soon, Lin Sanjiu could not help but curl up into a ball as if she was being whipped.
Even though sitting on the chair made her faintly uncomfortable, under the increasingly cold feeling, she was unwilling to get up again.
"Really, how could I get on the bus in such a muddle-headed manner?"
The temperature was so cold that her brain was a little muddled. She felt that it was already -20 degrees Celsius. "After I get off the bus at some elementary school in the capital, I will go out even if I have to blow up the train station …" she mumbled.
The pitch-black tunnel continued to flash past the train window. Looking at it for a long time had a hypnotic effect. Coupled with the cold weather, Lin Sanjiu actually started to feel a little sleepy. When she was in Garden of Eden, she was always worried about something. Basically, she did not have a good night's sleep. Kisaragi Station World was quiet and there was no danger …
"I can't sleep …" She yawned and wiped away a tear. "Mrs. Manas, can we talk for a while?"
Ever since she was pushed out of the School of Higher Consciousness, Mrs. Manas had been very busy. Lin Sanjiu did not get a response even once out of ten times. She was too cold.
Lin Sanjiu crossed her legs on the seat and wrapped her body around the warm air in front of her chest. She didn't know when it started, but her eyes started to feel heavier and more teary. Her head started to swell.
Lin Sanjiu only woke up with a start when the train came to an abrupt halt. She realized that she had fallen asleep.
She looked around and saw that the train had stopped. It turned out that the train had come out of the tunnel without her knowing. The train was already moving on the ground. Lin Sanjiu could see quite a few quiet houses and streets through the hazy morning fog.
Perhaps there was no one around because it was still too early.
When she saw that the door on the other side of the carriage had opened, Lin Sanjiu jumped up and prepared to get off the train.
She held the door frame with her hand. Before she stepped out of the train, she subconsciously looked into the distance.
"Mausoleum Elementary Station" was indeed named after an elementary school. The reason why she suddenly confirmed this seemingly useless piece of information was that this elementary school … was almost right in front of her.
Lin Sanjiu had never seen such a free-wheeling city planning. The simple train station wasn't big and one of its walls was made of glass. Next to the glass was a narrow road. The road passed through the main entrance of Mausoleum Elementary School.
The train station was very close to the school. Lin Sanjiu could clearly see the expressions of the group of people at the entrance of the school from inside the carriage.
Lin Sanjiu's first reaction when she suddenly saw humans in this barren and uninhabited world wasn't to heave a sigh of relief. Instead, a layer of goosebumps appeared on her skin.
A female teacher was standing in the middle of a group of children. It seemed like she was about to leave the school. However, all of them were smiling and not moving. Their faces were red from the cold wind. Their gazes passed through the train station and landed directly on Lin Sanjiu's face.
This was the ideal scene in all the posters. The children were crowding around the teacher and looking at Lin Sanjiu with big smiles … However, no one moved for a long time. It was as if they had come out early and were waiting for her.
"Are they dummies?" Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. She hesitated before she took a step forward.
"No."
As if sensing her hesitation, the smile on the female teacher's face widened, revealing a row of white teeth. She raised her hand that was originally on the child's shoulder and gestured at Lin Sanjiu as if she was calling her over.
Suddenly, the carriage door beeped twice. It turned out that it was time to close the door. However, Lin Sanjiu's hand stopped the door. She was startled by the sound and only snapped out of her daze when she saw the group of smiling faces in front of her. She quickly retreated into the carriage.
The carriage door immediately closed, cutting off the intense gazes of the teachers and students. Lin Sanjiu immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Those people didn't seem normal no matter how she looked at them …
"I'll get off at the next station," Lin Sanjiu realized that she was drenched in cold sweat after staring at them for less than a minute. When the cold wind blew, she shivered even more. "The next station is …"
It was still Mausoleum Elementary Station. (To be continued.)
PS:
Alright, I can't help but say something!
1. I really don't mind you guys saying that Rabbit is the male protagonist, because I think it's really funny … I even said in the group today that if you guys can find the most ridiculous couple other than Lin Sanjiu, I will write it … but it has to be reasonable. It's very difficult for you to touch my G-spot. Don't think that I can't take it anymore. I have thick skin!
Two, now that I have a certain level of experience in identifying people without a bar, the ones who are always afraid that I'll change my mind are … Can't you guys have a little more confidence in me …
