Who Am I

Chapter 51

What did it feel like being stared at by more than a hundred living people?

—-It was on par to what they felt when they first ran into a group of zombies.

If they didn’t move, those people didn’t move either.

With the scorching sun above, the temperature was hot.

They stood on the air tracks a hundred metres above a lake. The railing that had broken off from the impact of the train swayed precariously. Light wind blew through their clothes and the ends of their hair. It was as if as long as they weren’t careful, this gust of wind could push them off.

The two faced the large crowd. For a moment, the world was completely silent.

Ji Yushi moved his foot slightly back.

The passengers began to move. They wordlessly started to move towards them.

The back of his waist was supported by someone’s hand. It was Song Qinglan who had reached over. He spoke with a subdued voice, “Get ready. We have to run.”

When Ji Yushi stopped, those passengers also stopped.

There was only a short distance between them. Their eyes remained fixed on those two people. All the panic, despair and crying from earlier was gone and they just stood in place, completely expressionless.

Run?

Ji Yushi clenched his fist. Yes, with the current situation, they had no choice but to run.

“Let’s try it first. Run in the opposite direction and go down when you see a construction barrier.”

As if he had given Ji Yushi enough time to prepare, Song Qinglan lowered his voice and counted down from three, “Go!!”

The two immediately set off.

The handcuff between them clattered along.

With footsteps sounding behind them, more than a hundred people chased after them.

The narrow air tracks couldn’t accommodate so many people at the same time. Amidst the running and pushing, there would from time to time be sounds of something falling into the water below. Humans fell from the tracks like dumplings.

“Give me your hand!!”

Song Qinglan shouted as he looked back. He grabbed Ji Yushi’s hand, their fingers interlocking. Without the pulling of the handcuff, they quickly sped up.

The crowd behind them continued to chase after them. It seemed like they would soon be able to catch up.

Ji Yushi felt that his legs were no longer his own. The tracks the suspension train had just travelled over at a high speed were still hot. They sweated profusely. It was as if they were in a sea of fire.

Song Qinglan’s explosive power and endurance were several times more than Ji Yushi’s. As they ran, Ji Yushi was practically being dragged along. He could only desperately try to keep up with Song Qinglan’s pace. The other party’s tall back was right in front of him, and his broad shoulders gave him a sense of security, as if as long as he was there, they would definitely be able to break through.

His palms were sticky and sweaty. Ji Yushi could only feel sweat dripping from his face.

He had never ran so fast in his life.

But the people behind them didn’t seem to feel tired at all. It was only a couple hundred metres, but those people had managed to touch the back of Ji Yushi’s clothes several times.

“Fuck!”

Even Ji Yushi couldn’t help but throw out a profanity.

Without weapons, with the road ahead unknown and also being unable to do anything to those people, their current situation was completely outside of their control.

There was no end to the air tracks and human energy was limited.

During this silent chase, Song Qinglan quickly thought of a second method. They couldn’t keep running like this!

Song Qinglan stopped abruptly, making Ji Yushi almost run into him. Before he could speak, Song Qinglan held his waist, “Go up!”

Ji Yushi immediately understood. Relying on their height advantage, Song Qinglan wanted them to climb onto the train’s phantom!

The phantom was about 1.3 metres high from the ground. Ji Yushi managed to find the train window from the blurred image and grabbed hold of it with Song Qinglan holding him up.

The handcuffs that saved their lives just now had now become a burden. The two were handcuffed together, making it almost impossible for Ji Yushi to use both hands.

The crowd surged over and surrounded them. Arms reached out and grabbed at their clothes and limbs in attempt to pull them down.

Song Qinglan’s face and arms were covered in bleeding scratch marks. He could only grit his teeth while supporting him, “Pull me!”

Ji Yushi managed to find a foothold. He bent down to pull Song Qinglan up.

The two cooperate like acrobats and managed to both climb up. There were however countless hands grabbing at their ankles, trying to drag them down. Song Qinglan kicked away a few and finally managed to climb onto the roof.

Song Qinglan flattened himself against the edge of the carriage roof. Behind him was the clear sky.

Before Ji Yushi could see his face clearly, his body suddenly lifted up. He was suddenly pulled up by Song Qinglan!

With the people below temporarily unable to get up to where they were and the two with nowhere else to go for now, they laid down on the roof to catch their breaths.

Song Qinglan cursed, “Dammit, my shoes……”

Ji Yushi was also breathing heavily, “M-mine too……”

Funnily enough, with that terrible chase just now, the only thing they managed to lose were their shoes!

The most frightening thing was that the moment they stopped running, the chasing passengers also similarly stopped.

Ji Yushi looked out and saw them surrounding the phantom of the suspension train with their heads raised. They looked like a group of zombies waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

In this silent yet eerie environment, the two who were covered in sweat stood up, but just as they did that, Song Qinglan’s phone rang. He took it out and knitted his brows, “Advisor Ji——”

“Boom——-”

Following a loud sound, their vision turned dark. They suddenly found themselves falling!

*

As if falling from a great height, severe pain struck their entire body and stars appeared in their vision.

“Ah!!!”

A woman screamed.

Ji Yushi sat up. The scene before him shocked him.

The clean and tidy suspension train carriage was full of passengers who looked at their phones, drank water, chatted or slept. At this moment, they were all looking at the two people who had suddenly appeared in surprise.

The place the two of them had suddenly appeared in was the aisle inside the carriage. A familiar train announcement reached their ears. Everything was neat and orderly.

This was a suspension train in operation.

But, wasn’t the earlier suspension train overlapped with?

What was going on?

Song Qinglan also sat up. He had also fallen quite heavily. As soon as he recovered from the fall, he found that they were like animals in an exhibit.

The phone in his hand continued to ring. The caller ID displayed was: Grandfather.

Song Qinglan answered the phone and stood up, “Hello?”

There was no sound from the other end.

Ji Yushi also stood up. The two standing in the middle of the isle with their messy appearance made the other passengers vigilant. They began to whisper to each other and some even said that they would call for security.

But more of them were curious. An old man asked, “Young men, where did you come from? How did you fall from the sky?”

Ji Yushi scanned his surroundings.
