Campfire Shelter

"Could it be that I've been hit by the legendary 'Crimson King'?"

Thinking of his reaction, Colin couldn't help but feel palpitations. It felt like his memory had become a little inconsistent since the last five minutes.

Step by step, every time I came back to my senses, it was like a jump in time, or a frame drop, missing a period of the process and getting the result directly.

After collecting his thoughts, he raised his head and glanced at the ancient train that stopped slowly.

The train body is coated with a layer of reddish-brown and somewhat faded paint. Countless gears are moving slowly. The wheels are heavy and thick. Various exposed metal pipes spurt out hot air. The entire train is like a huge metal behemoth, exuding It gives off a unique sense of power that makes people feel awe.

However, taking a closer look, Colin found that the mottled and peeling paint surface was covered with bullet holes, gun craters, claw marks, tooth marks, bloody fingerprints and some traces of corrosion by some liquid. It made people wonder what it had gone through. what.

"If someone told me that this train traveled from a steampunk world to a battlefield in the Middle East and passed through a zombie world before coming back, I would believe it."

Colin moved his eyes to look at the car window, but it was hazy behind the window and he couldn't see clearly what was there. He could only see some passengers in twos and threes sitting in various places in the car from behind the dusty window.

Looking at it this way, there are quite a lot of people inside.

He just felt that something was wrong. Colin squinted his eyes and quickly noticed that those figures were sitting too upright and motionless, which looked a bit weird and intrusive.

But without thinking much, the car door opened to the side with a "snap".

On the electronic display of the high-speed train, the time was exactly 23:15:00.

Not one point too much, not one point too little.

Colin followed the opening of the car door and looked inside, but unfortunately, like the window, he couldn't see what was there clearly.

In order to avoid being distracted for a while and being affected by the "Crimson King" effect, causing him to miss the time to get on the bus, he suppressed his inner uneasiness, opened his legs, and walked towards the car door shrouded in hazy yellow light.

During this process, he was always vigilant to guard against accidents.

But until I walked into the car door, no danger occurred.

And, at the moment when his body completely stepped into the train door, Colin suddenly had a feeling of emerging from the water and the whole world suddenly became clear.

Then, he immediately glanced at the inside of the train and was startled.

The carriage space is very spacious, obviously at least twice as large as that of ordinary high-speed trains.

There are seventeen rows in total, with six seats in each row, three on the left and three on the left. Because the train itself is relatively wide, it doesn't look crowded, like a business car or special class seats.

The interior is a luxurious retro style, with brown solid wood floors, warm and soft warm yellow gas lamps, and brass and red velvet cushion seats with exquisite carvings.

On the left rear seat, Colin saw seven people.

"Colleague? It doesn't seem like he is."

Colin's nose twitched, and he could tell from the smell that they were all ordinary people, but then he thought about it, how could there be any ordinary people in a place like this? Regardless of whether he was a colleague or not, since the other person didn't show any sign of speaking, it was better for him to ignore it.

After all, who is a serious person on this train?

Immediately, he withdrew his gaze and was about to find a seat to sit down when he suddenly realized something was wrong - when he was just outside the train, he could clearly see from the window that there were passengers everywhere in the car.

But now, except for the seven people sitting in a pile, he saw no other "passengers".

"No, there seemed to be only one or two people in their position just now."

Colin frowned and realized that things were not simple.

But no matter what, an inexplicable intuition told him to take a seat as soon as possible.

“I remember that there were two ‘people’ in the fifth row, one by the window on the right side of the sixth row, the seventh row was full on the left, and there were several ‘people’ after the eighth row, but I can’t remember the specific locations.”

While thinking about it, Colin walked towards the third row on the right. When he saw this position from the window, he could confirm that all nearby seats were empty and there were no "human figures".

After making sure that there was no problem, he sat on it carefully.

"Deadly Insight" did not trigger.

no danger

Landing safely?

"I don't know what would happen if I sat in those seats where there were figures."

Colin was a little curious and wanted to try summoning a "good brother" worth 100 yuan through the "Slave of Money" to sit on it and have a look.

But after a second thought, I gave up this bold idea.

Decide to follow the guidance of your heart and not make any attempts that may or may not be possible.

He somewhat discovered it at this time.

The danger level of events here in my hometown may be more terrifying than in the other world, but it seems to be more regular and orderly, so as long as you follow the rules, there will be no problems.

Then, he looked around the carriage warily and noticed that when looking out from inside the carriage, the picture was clear. Everything in the subway station was visible, so it was not difficult to see clearly.

clang clang clang——

A series of dense bells suddenly sounded continuously.

The train door slammed shut.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage shook slightly but obviously, the scene outside the window began to move backwards, and the foggy train that had been parked for nearly ten minutes started to move.

After the train started, Colin found that the originally clearly visible window was quickly covered by thick white fog.

He didn't look too much at the disturbing white mist and withdrew his gaze.

"Speaking of which, what happened to those people?"

Colin felt that those seven or eight people seemed to be ordinary people, ordinary people with nothing special about them.

But are ordinary people really going to take this kind of train?

He was a little suspicious at the bottom of his heart.

With vigilance in mind, Colin silently pricked up his ears and listened behind him.

Ten minutes later, his expression suddenly became a little subtle——

"Brother Xiao, did we really not get off the train just now? There is something wrong with this train. The interior is two or three times faster than the subway when we came here, right? Could it be that we got on the wrong train?"

"What's wrong, isn't it just a themed car? I think you probably don't take high-speed trains and subways, so I haven't seen this. It seems to be a steampunk themed car?"

"Yes, what kind of bus to get off? Now you can only wait for tomorrow when you get off the bus. I don't think you drank a few bottles of wine just now? It seems that only three bottles of Budweiser will not work? This is the last bus after ten o'clock, sister I can’t even sit in the wrong position with my eyes closed, so don’t worry!”

"That's right, I think you're drunk."

"Forget it, what you guys said makes sense. By the way, Brother Xiao, go back to the dormitory later and lend me your paper to copy. Oh, it's just for reference."

"Wow, look out the window, it's foggy again."

In front of them, Colin was sitting on a chair, his expression becoming increasingly weird.

Listening to the conversation, it seemed that they were really a group of students from a nearby university. They happened to get on the last bus after eating late night snacks.

Although the car caught up, it was a pity that it was not the car going to the university.
