"You can take the train to the headquarters from here. Currently, there are still … 360 million seconds before the train arrives."
"Are you sure it's going to take that long?"
"… Sorry, system error. There are still 360 seconds before the train arrives."
This was a … train station.
A ball of fluff was waiting in a waiting room with a large group of Ershi Min robots, waiting for the train to arrive.
Lin was almost done with her tour of this place, so she decided to go to the core of these robots, which was the main branch of the 'Bus Vine'.
The current location was just a branch, a place similar to a military base. Some of the more important things, such as the 'communication tower' that they used to communicate with Ershi, and the large number of gathering points of creatures like the 'Raw Rock', were all located in the main branch.
So, going to the main branch was a natural choice. Lin's main goal was to see the creature called the 'Raw Rock', to find out why it appeared there and projected the meltdown area.
The robots here, Ershi Min, seemed to be completely unaware of this matter, so she could only go to the main branch to look for clues.
Lin originally wanted to directly send the volcanic rock over, but the commander-in-chief here expressed strong … opposition.
Of course, its opinion was not strong, and it was very gentle. It said that the volcanic rock was too big, and such a large and unfamiliar object would cause panic, so it asked Lin to only send some representatives … in other words, fluff balls over to take a look.
Lin felt that this was fine, so she sent a fluff ball over to the waiting area for the train.
Like the Voidfolk, the Ershi people were also very fond of trains.
Because the vines on the bus were very … long, and there weren't buildings everywhere on the vines, the main means of transportation on the vines were trains and aircraft.
Trains were more commonly used, and as for teleportation, they did not seem to be used anywhere other than in battle.
"The train has arrived, please take your belongings and prepare to squeeze onto the train … Those who can't squeeze onto the train, please retreat behind the yellow line and wait for the next train."
While Lin was thinking, the train had arrived at the station, and the passengers in the seats immediately stood up and rushed to the entrance of the train.
Just like the broadcast had described, they were all pushing and shoving at the entrance of the train, each trying to get in and fight for a spot.
But when the pom-poms floated over, Lin heard a machine shout, "It's coming!" Then, all the machines scattered, leaving a wide path for the pom-poms to pass through.
Their attitude … Lin had seen it many times before. After the pompom flew in, they continued to … squeeze together.
In the end, the robots that came in filled every seat in the train. The extra robots did not continue to stand in the train. Instead, they obediently retreated outside to wait for the second train.
As the door closed, the entire car began to move silently. The scenery outside the window instantly changed from the waiting room to … the scenery of floating gravel outside.
The entire train stuck close to the tracks built on the vines and moved towards the main trunk of the vines at high speed.
While they were driving, Lin noticed that some of the robots were looking out the window, while others were looking at the small 3D screens in their hands. They seemed quite normal, so Lin also turned to look at the scenery outside.
Slowly, the train followed the vines out of the spacious gravel area and entered an area with a high concentration of gravel.
They had to pass through this dense area to reach the main trunk. Just as Lin was wondering if the train would hit any gravel, she suddenly noticed that the surroundings had darkened.
The train had entered a … tunnel. A tunnel built inside the vines.
So, when passing through the area with a high concentration of meteorites, the train would no longer pass through the vines. This was … a very normal situation.
But it seemed that the normal situation did not continue.
"Reporting, there is a problem ahead. Checking in progress, please wait a moment …"
After entering the tunnel and traveling for about ten kilometers, the train suddenly stopped, and there was a notice like this.
"What is it? What happened? I still have something to do, why did the train stop? "
The passengers on the bus suddenly became very anxious. They looked out of the window and shouted at the place where the announcement was made.
Lin also looked out of the train. Because she was at the back of the train, she could not see what was happening outside. She could only see … the lights on the walls of the tunnel flashing non-stop.
The walls of the tunnel looked like they were made of wood, and there were lights at regular intervals for illumination. Now, these lights seemed to be abnormal, flashing non-stop.
"What the hell is going on! What's wrong? Tell me quickly! It's also on this train! "
The passengers here became more and more anxious. Lin saw many passengers open the doors in the center of the train, as if they wanted to squeeze to the front of the train to take a look.
However, the passengers in the front of the train had the same idea. They all stood up and tried to rush to the front of the train. This caused the entire train to become congested.
Lin did not follow them. Instead, she noticed … there was a red, glass covered … button under the window. On it was written 'Emergency escape. Use only when the survival first system is activated.'
What was the survival first system?
Lin thought as she had Pompom extend a bundle of fluff, smash the glass, and press the button inside.
'Beep!' An instant later, the window opened, and the air in the train was suddenly sucked out. Along with the air, there were a few robots in the train.
"Ahhhhh!" Their terrified screams dissipated as the air was sucked out. Lin noticed that the three-dimensional faces above their heads all became suffocated. It was very interesting.
"Shut it up!"
Most of the robots in this train squeezed to the front of the train and closed the door. Soon, this train … was left with only Pompom and a few floating robots who did not manage to escape in time.
Pompom ignored them and flew out of the window to look at the road ahead.
It seemed … the road ahead of the train … had merged.
Lin saw that the tunnel in front of the train was squeezed together, and some of them were like … intestines closing up.
This was indeed a possibility. After all, this tunnel was built in the vines, so the tunnel was alive. It was not impossible for it to merge.
But why would it merge?
"It's trying to murder us!"
