Chapter 1090 Subway and Rumors

"This shouldn't be the airport line. Whether it's the old airport or the new airport, it's not in this direction." Ma Lu muttered, "What did the people who designed the line think before? Why did they design this section to be so long?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan behind him and said apologetically, "I didn't expect the two sites to be so far apart. I didn't bring any water when I set out. If you feel thirsty and tired, you can go back first. , by the way, help me tell the people above about the situation here and ask them to send a few more people down."

As a result, Zhang Heng shook his head when he heard this, "We won't go back until we find someone."

Ma Lu was stunned. He saw that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan just followed silently, and did not show any eager and anxious expressions during the process. He thought that they had not much relationship with the missing two people, at least they should not be relatives or friends, but just Had to go find someone with them for some reason.

So Ma Lu thoughtfully suggested that the two of them could go back first, mainly because they had been away for so long, and there was no signal on the mobile phones below. Someone really needed to contact the people above to explain the situation, so this was actually the best of both worlds, but he I didn't expect Zhang Heng to refuse.

And then he heard Zhang Heng continue, "I think you can go back, because you have been shouting for so long and your voice is a little hoarse. You need to drink some water and take a rest."

"I'm fine." Malu shook his head and said, "The sooner we find those two missing people, the sooner we can feel at ease."

After saying that, he saw that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan had no intention of leaving, so he raised his flashlight and continued walking forward. However, Zhang Heng was right. He shouted for forty minutes and his mouth was a little dry, so After setting off again, he didn’t call out loudly again.

The three of them walked forward in silence.

After about five minutes, Zhang Heng spoke again, "Master Ma, you have been working for the subway company for many years, right? How much do you know about this subway line?"

"This is my first time here. In fact, no one from the company has been here." Ma Lu said, "The construction of this place stopped before it was completed, so it was not handed over to the subway company at all. Therefore, this Like you, I know nothing about the length, direction, and number of platforms of the subway line. To be honest, I didn't expect this tunnel to be so long before. Moreover, this section has basically been completed, and the construction materials seem to be Yes, it would be a pity to abandon it like this."

"Well, what about the rumors?"

"What?" Ma Lu thought he had misheard Zhang Heng's words.

"I remember you mentioned it when you were up there before, saying that there are some rumors about this place. Can you tell us about it?"

"Now, are you going to listen to those rumors now?"

"Is there any inconvenience?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Well, because most of those rumors are ridiculous, and we happen to be in this tunnel now. Although I don't have any superstitions myself, there are some things that should be avoided."

"Yeah, but it just so happens that we have nothing to do now." Zhang Heng said, "Everyone should be a little tired after walking for so long. Chatting can relieve the fatigue a little."

When Ma Lu heard this, he glanced at Fan Meinan who was standing aside, and found that this little girl who looked a little thin didn't show any fearful expression, so he nodded, "Okay, where do you want to start?"

"Why don't we just talk about why this subway line was abandoned." Fan Meinan said.

"The official statement is that due to changes in administrative planning, this subway line became unnecessary, so it was no longer built."

"But in fact?"

"No one knows the actual situation," Ma Lu said, "but when I first joined the company, I did hear some old employees say that the real reason this subway line was abandoned was because no construction workers were willing to work anymore. When the project was about a third of the way there, some people began to fall ill, but at first no one paid much attention, thinking it was just the construction worker himself.

"Because the machinery and equipment at that time were not very developed, and the labor intensity of workers was also very high, it was normal to have physical problems. Normally, it would be better to recover for a while, but soon, the second and third diseases appeared. People who fell... People in the construction company also began to pay attention to it, reducing labor intensity and paying more attention to ventilation. In addition, they also changed the cooks on the construction site, but it was of no use. More and more people still fell ill, and At this time, the diagnosis report of the person who was first sent to the doctor came out.

"The cause of the disease could not be found from the routine examination items. His body functions were normal, but he did have clinical symptoms such as fatigue and memory loss, and even later developed a certain degree of cognitive impairment. However, It was just him, and several workers who were sent to the hospital later also showed similar symptoms to varying degrees, but this also ruled out the possibility of their own genetic diseases.

"The diagnosis report did not dispel the doubts and worries of the workers, and because the number of people falling ill continued to increase, the remaining people began to panic, not knowing which day it would be their turn. In the end, a few leading workers The construction company had to mobilize another construction team from other places to replace the striking workers. In addition, it also hired experts to conduct inspections.

"But unfortunately, the experts stayed here for two weeks and found nothing. They took some earthen samples and left. Fortunately, a new batch of people were replaced, and the project could finally continue. However, the good times did not last long, about half a month Later, another worker fell ill, with the same clinical symptoms as the previous group of workers.

"And this group of workers also learned about what happened to the previous group of workers from somewhere. They were very angry at the construction company for concealing the actual situation from them, so they also went on strike and quit. What's even worse is this matter It gradually spread among the workers, and the construction company could not find workers willing to continue the construction. At the same time, this incident also alarmed several leaders above. Finally, after research, it was decided to abandon the railway completely." Ma Ludao.

"Which workers were sick and what happened to them?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I don't know. There is no part related to them in the rumors anymore." Ma Lu said. After a pause, he added, "But it is said that it was not just such a mysterious thing that happened during the construction. In the first place, Before one worker fell ill, one worker was actually missing."
