Chapter 10 (1/2)
Dense fog suffused the air while vines as thick as an arloo the surrealistic mixture of fact and fantasy As one's ability to see had been prevented, their perception of truthful reality was intertwined with unreal fantasy
It was an iled by reat precision, yet now, it was but a lifeless mass, stranded here in muteness
This was a striking scene indeed After all, it was a satellite It was not so down frorammed to stay on itsobt, but then what made it fall?
A shudder ran down the backs of both Chu Feng and Zhou Quan Their initial astonishht They could not help but raise their heads once again, looking into the bleakness above in great perplexity What was there, they wondered, in high and above, that decreed the happening of all the cala
”Don't tellfrom the vault of heaven” There was a certain rasp in Zhou Quan's voice and a look that seemed harassed and drawn
Zhou Quan could hardly believe what he itnessing It was too surreal for him to be certain
Chu Feng kept his reen vines He looked carefully, again and again; then at last, he grew certain that this was a satellite indeed
”What is actually happening?” Zhou Quan had never felt so confused
Chu Feng debated whether staying here for any longer would do any good He mused, then he realized that he and Zhou Quan had not been hearing any words fro last, he decided to leave for the others
”Hey lad, what're you doing?” Zhou Quan was finally out of his trance He saw Chu Feng fondling with the vines, so in curiosity, he asked
”I want to go to visit the vault of heaven” Chu Feng replied
”How do you still have the mood to joke around here? I'm almost scared shxtless,” Zhou Quan cursed under his breath
Zhou Quan had always had a benevolent and kind countenance His face had always looked joyous, and the more one looked at it, the more it resembled to a Maitreya Buddha
But today was not one of those days As the floodgates to an outbreak of upheavals and strange events had been seely opened by soer situate himself in this disorderly world with a positive and indifferent attitude He was mystified, and at the same time, he was profoundly scared about all these clutters and chaos he had witnessed
”Boostsaid He wanted to reach higher to give the satellite a better examination
”No, no, no I don't think it's a wise choice Everything to erous This is a bloody satellite dropped out of the sky for God-knohat reason I know you just said you wanted to visit the vault of heaven, but I don't reckon this is exactly the way to go, man,” Zhou Quan 's safety
”It's okay I just want to knohat's up there I won't clih I can take care ofhad alreadyvines His superb staeous in a situation like this In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng had already reached a few ht
At this ti around hi from sea level Visibility was very poor
”Hey ht there?” Zhou Quan shouted from down below
”All good!” Zhou Quan answered He cliallop for dozens of meters before he finally stopped
”The vines here has beco straight up and down It seeinate from thedown fro frowned
”This is unbelievable How did such a shocking event ht?”
Then, he recalled the news he had seen earlier Those trees and the other hovering plants that appeared in the space were all species that belonged to Earth The strange contrast between the ee of these plants pro's mind
Chu Feng slid down along the vines; for hiher was an unnecessary risk to take
”I'd like us to leave this place right now,” Zhou Quan suggested ”I feel a little creeped out just by standing here”
Chu Feng nodded The train was beached, and their coain connections to the outside world He felt that they needed to co that could help them leave this area before the situation suddenly took a left turn
This succession of strange encounters was unsettling to say the least, so they couldn't just passively wait here
”Oh Gosh!+ What a at?” Suddenly, an outcry broke out
The few other vigorous and robust young men had also climbed on top of the train car They saw that fallen satellite as well Everyone becaht of it that no-one could hardly speak
They looked as if they had seen a ghost Their faces were all stiffened
Soon, this news began circulating in the carriage Having heard the news, ht in surprise Clearly, the discovery of a satellite on top of the train had caused quite a sensation along with panic a and blubbering were er persist on their calm and composure
Incidents and disturbances would most likely happen in a disorderly situation But then, ould be able to preserve public order in such circumstances? Train attendants and other crewin a haze of bewilderment They were at a loss of what to do
”How is that ancient doing?” Chu Feng asked
”Quite dead, or what else can he be?” Zhou Quan replied ”I went to check on the body just then, and I heard so a communicator”
”Really?” Chu Feng was rather surprised at this He had seen everything about that body His costume was not a mere retro imitation of the past It embodied an authentic archaic rhyme
”There's no point in overthinking right now Hurry! Let's go,” Zhou Quan urged He wanted to leave without sparing even a single second at this place
Meanwhile, everyone else was also hurriedly taking actions They were keen on leaving this place immediately
Chu Feng weighed the black stagger in his hand, thinking over the fact that a one-inch stagger could weigh this much Its density could easily beat that of any other metals known to him, and this had made him very doubtful
”What about that man's communicator? Where is it? I want to see hom has he been in contact”
Regrettably, Chu Feng's wish could not be realized With thesearound in panic, the whereabouts of that cootten
”Let's go!”
Chu Feng and Zhou Quan did not hold up for any longer Before long, they hit the road again
Hordes and hordes of people started leaving Everyone was in each other's close co towards the nearest town
Chu Feng and Zhou Quan walked along the railway track Zhou Quan was more familiar with this pathway afterbetween the west and the east According to hiht within a dozen li
”Who did this? No wonder the train had to get stuck ot a nant on the way
He saw a section of the railway track had been disconnected after having walked for a few li This could mean a major accident for any trains that ran on this line
”Wait a ht!”
