Chapter 180 Unable to Connect
Passengers climbed out of the windows one after another. Although everyone was a little worried about the situation outside, staying in the abandoned subway obviously made people feel less safe.
There were many passengers who survived. After the subway collision, there were not many spaces left on the platform for people to stand. Some passengers even rushed to the stairs that could not wait.
Chen Ke ignored them. Diana asked the passengers to move first. She was still in the subway and her left arm was inconvenient. Chen Ke put his arm around her waist and asked her to curl her left arm in front of her chest, and then put her whole Someone took it out.
"Damn it, open the door! Open the door!" The sound of passengers knocking on the fence door came from the stairs.
Chen Ke put Diana on the ground and looked at the source of the noise.
"What's going on?!" someone asked up the stairs.
"The door is locked and you can't get out. You can't hear any sound from outside." The person who had already run to the stairs said as he turned back and went downstairs.
Chen Ke frowned, maybe it wasn't locked, but there was no one up there...
Diana adjusted her clothes, and before she had time to figure out what was going on upstairs, she saw the subway with its people and things different.
The subway is highly corroded and rusty, and judging by the structure and mess of the platforms, it doesn't look like a city of opportunity.
She took a deep breath and soon choked it out, looking around as if she smelled something.
"What?" Chen Ke looked at her and tried to smell the air, but found no strange smell.
"Chen Ke... I think we are really in trouble... You have to be mentally prepared." Diana looked at Chen Ke, her eyes full of uneasiness.
As an agent of the Psychic Administration, Diana must know more than anyone Chen Ke has met these days. She is the person who knows the current situation best.
"Let's gather people together first, and then see what else can be done." Chen Ke suggested.
Diana nodded, held her left arm, and walked to other parts of the platform to observe, trying to see if there was any solution.
Chen Ke coughed twice, clapped his hands and said, "Hey, everyone who survived, we'd better sit down at the stairs to calm down and see how many people are left."
When the surrounding passengers heard Chen Ke's speech, some walked to the stairs consciously, while others looked confused.
A white uncle came out and said disdainfully: "When will it be your yellow skinned turn to give orders?"
Chen Ke frowned, and then the white man remembered that Chen Ke still had a gun in his hand.
"It's best for everyone to stop fighting among themselves at this time. He was the one who reminded us to run back, otherwise I would have died." A strong black man walked up to Chen Ke and said.
"I don't trust that yellow-skinned guy. He's not even willing to save people, but now he's running out to act like a hero." The white man who had just suggested that Chen Ke take out the squashed man interrupted at this time.
"Look, no one's trying to be a hero here, and if you think there's a chance that those people will survive, and you think you have the ability to get them out and get them safely to the hospital, then so be it. My actions are based on my judgment. , rather than forcing others to do this or that according to their own wishes. If you think saving a few people can make you feel better, the subway wreckage is over there," Chen Ke retorted.
The white guy said nothing and walked to the back of the crowd.
"The situation we are encountering now is beyond my understanding. For the sake of everyone's safety, we should gather together first, count the number of people, and then see what we can do together." Diana also walked to Chen Ke.
"She is from the Administration, I heard her say that." Someone in the crowd commented.
Everyone then slowly moved towards the stairs. The women and children sat on the stairs, while the men stood on both sides.
Chen Ke sighed. It seems that yellow skin is even less popular in the Western world than black people.
"What's your name, big guy?" Chen Ke looked at the strong black man.
He is estimated to be 1.9 meters tall, very muscular, with a good-looking head, clean shaven, wearing black short-sleeves and jeans, and carrying a military green backpack. He looks to be in his early 30s.
"My name is Sam Wilson, you can call me Sam. I am a retired United States Federal Ranger." Sam introduced himself, both in his posture and expression, he had the pride and ability of a soldier.
"Great, a soldier, this will help the current situation a lot!" Diana said.
"We need to count how many people are alive now, and then see how to open the door to get to the ground." Chen Ke suggested.
Sam nodded and agreed with Chen Ke's point of view. The environment down here is very scary, and I don't know if there are other subways still running. If there are, it is very likely that they will bump into each other when passing this station. By then everyone will Finished.
"Then, let's count and see who among the crowd has special skills and can help." Sam said.
With Sam's help and everyone's cooperation, Chen Ke and Diana counted the survivors. A total of 49 people survived, including 26 males, 17 females, and 6 children under ten years old.
There must be many people in the carriage who are not dead, but according to the current situation, the only way to rescue them is to wait for death, not to mention that given the current situation of the survivors, they may not be rescued at all. After all, there is no cutting machine, it is difficult To get people out of the deformed subway car, we can only ignore it for now.
Passengers were more or less injured. Most of them were injured when the subway collided and were pushed down by the huge inertia to railings and walls. Those with slightly more serious injuries also lost a certain amount of mobility.
A little girl's arm was swollen from the collision. She couldn't straighten it, otherwise it would hurt a lot. She hugged her arm, carried her schoolbag, and sat in the corner. She looked like she came out alone. Diana took off the brace on her left arm, put it on the little girl, and kept comforting her.
"What should we do now? The door above is locked, and we can't get out below. Hasn't the management responded yet?" asked a white-headed old man.
"Things are more complicated than we thought. Let's take a look at the subway." Chen Ke reminded.
Everyone looked at the wreckage of the subway after hearing this, but they didn't grasp the point and couldn't see anything abnormal. Most people tend to easily ignore details and miss the point after experiencing dangerous and terrifying things.
Even though the subway is completely different from the previous time they got on the train, in the eyes of others, they only connect "crash" and "wreckage" and don't realize that the subway has been replaced.
"Don't you understand yet?" Chen Ke asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Wait... wait... this is impossible..." Sam on the side also saw the clues now.
The subway was in a dark environment when the change happened. Chen Ke was the first to discover it, followed by Diana. When she got off the train, she suddenly noticed something strange. Finally, it was Sam who realized that the subway was different from before after Chen Ke's reminder.
One of them was a killer, one was an agent, and one was a soldier.
Only these three types of people can maintain different degrees of keen observation in danger.
"Look... this subway is not the one we took..." Sam said.
Everyone suddenly realized it, but there were still some heartless people who didn't understand, because they probably couldn't remember what the subway looked like when they got on the train.
"What's going on... why did this happen...?"
"I want to go home... I just want to go home..."
...
Some of the people who survived the previous dangers have reached the edge of their willpower limit, and they have shown frustrated behavior.
"As long as we can work together, we can always get through the difficulties, not to mention that we are lucky, there is an agent from the Administration." Chen Ke said.
He came to Diana and wanted to discuss strategies with her, while Sam began to ask some passengers who still had energy to see if they could find out if their professional skills could help.
Diana half-unzipped her jacket, stuffed her left arm in it, and dragged Chen Ke to the side.
"My phone has no signal, I can't contact the outside, and the encrypted communication band of the Administration can't connect. I suspect the situation is very bad..." She whispered.
"How bad do you think it will be up there?" Chen Ke asked.
"No... You don't understand what I mean. It's impossible for the encrypted band of the Administration to not connect. But now, it can't connect..." Diana shook her head.
Chen Ke looked at Diana without saying anything. He knew what the other party was hinting at, and this was what he was worried about.
Maybe this world up there is no longer their world.
