Chapter 46 Heading North

Yangcheng, the capital of Guangnan Province, after the apocalypse, the government has built a super-large base in the city center, which can accommodate three million survivors. The east side of the base is next to the wall of Yangcheng Railway Station. This is the Yangjing Arterial Railway. The transportation of materials from the north is basically transported by rail. Although there is also sea transportation, the sea transportation is stored in the dock base, and the military has to send people to transport it back.

A military's latest armored vehicle is driving on the street of Yangcheng Base. Passers-by on the street look at it with envy, because they know that the people sitting inside must be military people. If the people in the base are treated the best except for the dignitaries and scientists, then the soldiers in the army are treated the best. After all, they are at the forefront, and even the military families will get good treatment.

Tang Ming, 25 years old, married, captain of a special forces unit in the Southeast Military Region, has all-round military skills, and is well-known in the entire southeast region of Xia Country.

Joining the army at the age of 18, it has been seven years now. Tang Ming can be said to have spent all his time in the bloody storm. He has carried out assassination missions in enemy countries, went to Southeast Asia to encircle and suppress major drug lords, and fought against various unique terrorist organizations in Xia Country. He has made great achievements and is well-known. Speaking of his code name "Night Emperor", the enemies in the underground world are terrified.

After the doomsday, the military region where Tang Ming was located lost half of its people. Fortunately, his special forces did not lose a single person. When ordinary troops went to rescue civilians, his troops were all over Guangnan Province, rescuing various scientific masters, and it can be said that they have made great contributions.

The armored vehicle soon arrived at the East Station of the Railway Station. Tang Ming got off with his luggage and said to the driver.

"You go back first."

"Captain, take care of yourself."

Everyone was a soldier, and there was no verbose talk. The armored vehicle quickly turned around and left.

The total area of ​​Yangcheng Station is 120,000 square meters, the waiting room area is 8,504 square meters, the ticket office area is 1,108 square meters, the baggage warehouse area is 3,823 square meters, the platform scale is 4 platforms and 7 lines, and the station can send 30,000 passengers per day.

The main building of the railway station is four stories high. It uses the indoor garden layout of Guangnan traditional architecture. The left, middle and right parts are separated by gardens. There are green landscapes, goldfish ponds and small bridges in the station. There are palm trees and bamboos in the small garden.

The most conspicuous thing outside the main building of the railway station is the 45-meter-high and 5-meter-wide clock in the center of the facade.

Tang Ming took a long look and then walked towards the gate. There were many military and police officers holding weapons at the gate. He knew that there had been a survivor attack at the train station. It was caused by survivors who wanted to return to their hometown. However, the main function of the train station now has become material transportation. If the official transportation is open to personnel, then four-fifths of the survivors in the entire Yangcheng base may run away. Of course, the official has no ability to transport millions of people. Now is not the past. It is impossible to do it after the apocalypse. Therefore, all official bases in Xia Country with train stations basically cannot carry passengers unless there are special circumstances.

Tang Ming is a special case. He was ordered to go north to Kyoto.

"Hello, chief, I'll have someone take you in."

The soldier who checked Tang Ming's pass saw that he was a major and immediately saluted respectfully.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Tang Ming returned the salute and then entered the train station under the guidance of a soldier.

Walking into the train station hall, you can see that the entire hall is empty, without the bustling crowds of the past. Only rows of seats are left, as if waiting for the passing passengers, giving people a very lonely feeling.

Tang Ming could only hear the footsteps of himself and the soldiers in front of him. With the footsteps, he came to a waiting room, and the leading soldier in front said to him.

"Chief, please wait here for a while, and someone will come to notify you when the train leaves."

"Okay, thank you."

Tang Ming found a seat and sat down, with his back straight, which is a habit of being a soldier.

There are many seats in the waiting room, and only a dozen people are sitting there, including men and women, old and young, families, and singles. Although he doesn't know what these people are, Tang Ming knows that they should have a lot of connections in Xia Country, otherwise they would not be able to take the train at the end of the world.

While he was looking at people, others were also looking at him. After all, many people heard the soldier calling him "chief" just now. From this, it can be seen that he should be an officer in the army. Everyone is a little afraid of him. The people who were talking loudly in the waiting room just now couldn't help but lower their voices a lot. In this era, if we say which department has the most power, then it can be said that the army ranks first.

Now the official base has no place for urban management to maintain order. It is all maintained by the military and police, and they are all armed. Anyone who kills or rapes in the base can be sentenced to death. If caught on the spot by the military and police, if there is resistance, they can be shot on the spot without warning. Even if they are caught, they will be punished quickly and severely, and it will not exceed three days. This is a special right specially granted to the local official base by the Central Government of Xia.

Not long after, a staff member entered the waiting room and said to everyone with a smile.

"Dear passengers, the train to Kyoto is about to depart, please hurry up and get on board."

Tang Ming stood up and picked up his luggage. Several others also stood up. They should be passengers on the Kyoto line. There were only five of them. Including Tang Ming, there were only six passengers on the train who got on in Yangcheng.

Following the staff to platform No. 1, Tang Ming saw that the platform was surrounded by glass, just like a subway station, but there were sliding doors at the entrance and exit of the train. The glass should also be bulletproof, otherwise how to prevent zombies from entering.

The train is an armored train, not an ordinary train. There is a machine gun every few meters on the roof. The outer shell of the train is a thick armor plate, and the front of the train is a long ram, like a drill. With the speed of the train and the drill, the fate of the things in front of the train can be imagined.

The passengers got on from the No. 2 carriage. According to the staff, Tang Ming knew that they could only stay in the No. 2 carriage. The carriages behind were all supplies, which were needed by other city bases.

After arriving at the carriage, Tang Ming found a seat and sat down. It didn’t take long for the train to start and leave the train station soon.

Because of power problems, Xia Country's high-speed rail system has been shut down, and all trains have returned to coal-fired operation, with the fastest speed being only 100 kilometers per hour. Tang Ming estimated that if there were no accidents on the road, it might take more than thirty hours to reach Kyoto. The goods would have to be unloaded at intermediate stations, which would take even longer. But he didn't care. He just thought of it as a vacation. After all, he had been fighting with the troops since the apocalypse. Although he was not physically tired, he was mentally exhausted. He just didn't know why the orders from above asked him to go to Kyoto. Of course, as a soldier, he just had to obey orders.
