Chapter 629 - The Place Where Dead People Go (2/2)
At that time, he felt that his future was bright, and his son would grow up to be a second rich generation. However, he didn’t expect happiness to be so short-lived, and darkness came so fast, all his efforts turned into bubbles in an instant.
Then the Nanjing government and the military implemented a policy of giving priority to the evacuation of the local citizens of this city. He and his family were immediately pushed to the back of the evacuation list. He begged everyone he knew and told them that he knew how to repair all kinds of machinery and even tanks, but there were too many “talents” like him, so in the end, he was still listed on the last batch of the evacuation list.
He had also thought about bypa.s.sing the government and the military and went to Shanghai by himself, but he then heard that the government would not provide places if he went there on his own. If he had no friends or relatives in Shanghai, he would need to sleep in the wilderness or on the road. If he was alone, he would not find it that much, but he had a family. Moreover, after the darkness arrived, the temperature dropped rapidly, no one could stand the cold air outside.
However, this was not the worst.
As if G.o.d wanted to send him to the abyss, at the moment he boarded the train, a waterdrop fell from the sky and trapped everyone here.
That day was the darkest day of his life. His father and mother, who came from his hometown, died. His younger brother who had learned to repair cars with him also died, then his father-in-law, and his staff… It was originally a happy family, but it was completely shattered now. If it weren’t for his wife and son that were still alive, he really would not know what to do.
It was also that day that fate began to open another window for him. He was awakened and he gained a special power. Facing the corpses of loved ones, the corpses of his friends, he was angry, and he decided to take revenge, he decided to dominate the train station, prevent those government workers and the soldiers that had not yet evacuated from getting close to this place, so that he could watch those, who think that his life and his families’ lives were not important, die.
Several of his friends also awakened, so he gathered them together, dominated the train station, and drove away those, who attempted to return to the station, one after another, and those people included soldiers like Luo Dalian.
Gradually, he felt that it was actually pretty good here, with supplies, food, and guns in hand, and it was temporarily safe. Moreover, he didn’t think that he would have a better life in Shanghai than in this place.
The days seemed to be getting better again. No one in this city dared to come to provoke him again. Everything seemed to be back on track again, until Chu Yunsheng appeared, and fate again waved a big stick and hit him fiercely on his head, and this conflict almost caused his whole family to die.
No matter what, this was how Feng Yingxi thought, and how he looked at Chu Yunsheng’s arrival.
But in any case, as soon as he stepped into the waiting hall, Chu Yunsheng became the new owner here. In Nanjing city, where murder was no longer illegal, no one dared to provoke the arrow of death in his hand. That was something that even the floating monsters were afraid of.
It wasn’t long until Chu YunSheng used his power to force Feng Yingxi to reveal the secret of the railway station.
“So, this thin transparent coat was found deep inside the edge of the city?”
Chu Yunsheng touched the material on the cling-film-like transparent coat. It was a little slippery and a little elastic, but strangely, it couldn’t be torn apart with ordinary strength, and it could block the flow of heaven and earth energy.
Chu YunSheng didn’t know if it was because of this feature that the floating monsters couldn’t do anything to the skinny man, but at the moment, he was not interested in this, so he simply took a quick look and then returned it to the skinny man.
What he didn’t know was that when he asked the skinny man if he could have a look at the transparent thing he was wearing, the skinny man was extremely anxious. He thought that once Chu YunSheng got it, he wouldn’t return it.
“There seemed to be a battlefield that involved many deaths, and all the souls were still there. Pang Zi said that he had seen a person, who was lost in it some time ago. But it was like he had lost his soul, he did not respond to us. We dared not go in too deep, because as soon as we stepped on that scary place, there were sounds of spine-chilling wind everywhere, as if there were thousands of soldiers riding horses and carrying knives charging and killing people.” Feng Yingxi said while carefully folding the transparent coat, and put it in a place Chu YunSheng could not see.
“You also said that you saw a lot of good things, you really don’t want to go?” Chu Yunsheng took a sip of water and seemed to want to tempt them.
Feng Yingxi immediately shook his head firmly, looked at his wife, who was even more nervous than him and said, “I promised my wife that I would save my life to take care of them.”
Chu Yunsheng looked at him and smiled. His smile was so sudden and creepy that it made Feng Yingxi very nervous, “You can’t even beat me, who can you take care of?”
A flash of embarra.s.sment on Feng Yingxi’s face. He nodded his head and said yes, but inside, he thought to himself, Do you think that everyone is as powerful as you? I have occupied this place for so many days and I have only had problems defeating one man, and that is you.
Feng Yingxi did not want to go, but Chu Yunsheng saw that the fat man seemed to be very interested, so he turned around and asked, “Pang Zi, are you going?”
The fat man first looked at Feng Yingxi. When he saw that Feng Yingxi tried to wink at him, he hurriedly looked away and said, “if Pi Yan goes, I will go!
Chu Yunsheng was confused, “Pi Yan? Who is the Pi Yan?”
When he was dealing with floating monsters outside, he indeed heard Feng Yingxi shout this name, but he didn’t seem to see the person here.
It was at this moment, a short boy, who was around seventeen or eighteen years old, crawled out of nowhere and appeared in front of him. Dark-skinned, big head, but very nimble.
“I just want to find a guide, you don’t have to go too deep, just wait for me outside of the danger zone you mentioned, I will promise you, as long as I find something good, I will definitely give one to each one of you, how’s that sound? I don’t like to talk about useless things, so just give me a quick answer!” Chu Yunsheng looked at the kid and said straightforwardly.
Seeing that Chu Yunsheng gave such good conditions, Feng Yingxi was also tempted and he started to communicate with his wife with eyes.
“Okay, as long as brother Chu will protect me, I will go!” The boy readily agreed, but he was very clever and added a condition. He wanted Chu YunSheng to guarantee his safety.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t mind it. He simply nodded and said, “deal, you two go to prepare first and we will leave soon.”
In case there was any danger, Chu Yunsheng waited until there was a trace of black gas in his body before he got up and set off. The purpose of him taking risks was to find a way out of Nanjing, not picking up “good things” inside. However, the strength of Yuan Tian stage one may not be reliable, so it was better to recover some black gas.
On the departure, Feng Yingxi thought over and over again, but eventually changed his mind and requested to follow them. In addition to the great temptation of “good things”, he also said that he was worried that Chu Yunsheng would “release” the monsters deep inside the edge. This was one of the reasons why he didn’t want to let anyone know the train was working.
He always felt that when they came back with the train, there was something following them. It felt like a demon was hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity to get out of the edge.
Feng Yingxi wanted to go with them. Of course, Chu Yunsheng would not reject it. Actually, this man was more suitable as a guide than the fat man and a kid. After all, he knew much more than those two people.
The train driver was an ordinary person and basically did not have a right to speak or complain. Before Chu Yunsheng showed up, he was controlled by Feng Yingxi. After Chu YunSheng defeated Feng Yingxi, obviously, he would have to listen to Chu YunSheng now.
Because of the power outage, the new type of trains in the train station couldn’t be started. Fortunately, there was one old locomotive with an internal combustion engine.
Diesel-burning locomotives were limited by the mechanical conditions of the old train structure. Even if it was just the locomotive alone, it would not be too fast. Moreover, its maximum speed was not much different from when it had carriages behind it.
Therefore, at the request of Chu Yunsheng, a part of the carriages was connected to increase the total weight of the train. With the additional weight, the inertial momentum after the engine stopped would be increased after they drove deep into the edge.
After the train’s horn was blown, the old locomotive slowly drove out of the train station. From here to the edge of the city, the distance was enough to accelerate it to the highest speed.
