Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Surprise (Extra for the leader singing a love song) (17th update)

"No need, just keep an eye on things for me."

Karon spoke very rigidly to the assistant train conductor.

"Alright then."

The assistant train conductor didn’t say much more.

At that moment, the train’s lighting shone on something and a silver reflection appeared.

Karon immediately widened his eyes to gaze out, and beneath the intense light, he faintly saw a creature like a blade.

"What is that!"

Karon’s face changed dramatically, and he reached for the emergency brake button as his first response.

Sadly, it was still too late—the train was simply moving too fast.

Bang!

The blade mosquito collided with the high-speed train in a flash.

The juvenile form of the blade mosquito disintegrated instantly.

Its sharp blades cut open the entire front of the train, slicing Karon and others to pieces, with blood splattering everywhere.

Then, there was a massive explosion at the front of the high-speed train.

Bang!

The train immediately triggered the emergency brake system.

"Ah~"

All the passengers in the carriage were jolted hard, letting out screams of terror.

The immense inertia sent Gu Meng flying directly towards Su Ming in an instant.

Su Ming was also startled but quickly caught Gu Meng. Suddenly, her cheek slammed right into his chest.

Passengers inside the carriage tumbled over each other.

However, fortunately, it wasn’t long before the high-speed train gradually came to a stop under the action of the emergency brake system.

"Ouch!"

"It hurts like hell, what the hell is going on."

"What happened, it’s so scary!"

...

One passenger after another got up from the ground, terrified.

Su Ming was hurt in the chest from Gu Meng’s collision, but he endured the pain and asked,

"Are you alright?"

Gu Meng, who had not yet recovered from the shock, suddenly came to her senses upon hearing Su Ming’s question.

She realized she was pressed against Su Ming’s body and her cheeks blushed red, she quickly stood up and said,

"I’m fine, thank you."

"No big deal."

Su Ming replied briefly and then stood up from his seat, surveying the surrounding situation with a serious expression.

It looked like the train had hit something; there was noticeable deformation on the walls of the carriage.

Then he moved close to the sealed window to look outside; the tunnel was very dim, only the emergency lighting was on at the sides of the tunnel, and nothing else was particularly visible.

Su Ming’s frown deepened; for some reason, he had a very bad feeling.

Gu Meng, observing Su Ming’s furrowed brow, felt somewhat dazed for a moment.

She looked carefully at Su Ming’s appearance; he was truly quite handsome after having lost weight.

Moreover, he had an address in the Third City and was generous which showed his family was well off. As for his talent, there was no need to mention that, as he had been able to get into the Imperial Court Academy, he was simply a dragon among men, perfection personified.

Most importantly, when she had collided with Su Ming earlier, his instinct was to catch her.

His broad chest seemed like a sturdy harbor, offering shelter from the storm and bringing an endless sense of safety.

The more Gu Meng thought about it, the better she felt Su Ming was, at least much better than the misshapen louts around her.

"Gu Meng, are you okay, did you bump into anything?"

At this point, Qi Shen came to his senses and asked with concern,

"I’m fine."

Gu Meng responded quite coldly.

At this time, the female attendants in the carriage were also recovering; some picked up communicators to call the train conductor, while others began to calm down the unsettled passengers.

"We are very sorry! Dear passengers, the train has encountered an emergency situation suddenly. If anyone is injured, please inform us right away, we will attend to your injuries urgently."

Now, many passengers on the train, after a brief period of panic and unease, some began to curse in annoyance.

"How can there be no injuries? My son’s head is already bleeding from hitting it."

"Exactly, how did you drive this train, are you trying to kill us? We definitely have to complain about you!"

"It’s not just about complaining, we also want compensation."

...

For a moment, the entire carriage became extremely noisy, filled with voices of accusation everywhere.

However, just at that moment, the carriage’s lights suddenly went out, leaving only the dim emergency lights on, and the lighting quickly dimmed.

"What’s happening? Why did the lights go out?"

"The air conditioning isn’t working either."

"It seems like there’s been a power outage."

...

"Everyone, please stay calm, we are already trying to contact the train conductor as quickly as possible, please stay calm."

The attendant tried their best to soothe the panicked crowd.

Su Ming, upon hearing this, immediately sat back down to quietly wait.

However, before the attendants could make contact with the train conductor, the temperature inside the carriage began to soar, making it extremely stifling hot, and the air became very murky, causing everyone extreme discomfort.

"It’s so hot! It feels like we’re going to suffocate."

"No, we can’t stay in the train any longer, let’s get out."

"Right, let’s hurry and open the train doors."

...

The people inside the carriage couldn’t bear it, with everyone sweating profusely and breathing rapidly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please keep calm. We are not sure about the situation outside, it’s very dangerous to go out rashly."

The attendant, wiping the sweat from their forehead, earnestly tried to persuade them.

"Whether it’s dangerous outside we don’t know, but we are well aware that if we stay in the carriage, we will definitely suffocate."

"Exactly!"

Many students on site didn’t listen at all, and several of them rushed to the carriage door.

They pulled on the emergency switch, but unfortunately, they couldn’t budge it.

"It’s no use, the door won’t open!"

"The carriage door is deformed."

.....

"Use the emergency hammer to break the windows!"

At this point, a few students shouted out.

Su Ming quietly watched them searching for the emergency hammers to break the windows, although what the attendant warned was right, the current situation was unclear, and it could be dangerous outside.

But he did not oppose breaking the windows to get out, mainly because the carriage was too airtight, and so many people could have a problem.

Another point was, if there were really monsters outside, the carriage wouldn’t hold up anyway.

Crash!

With a loud sound, the first window was broken open, immediately facing a blast of hot air coming through.

"Quick, climb out quickly."

.....

One by one, the students climbed out.

Now more and more windows were being broken, and Su Ming immediately walked towards one of them.

Seeing Su Ming leave, Gu Meng immediately followed after him.

"Wait for me."

Qi Shen and Liu Xiao saw Gu Meng leaving and hurriedly chased after her.

Soon, Su Ming and the others climbed down from the window, arriving at the dimly lit tunnel.

The entire tunnel was arched, with two tracks built inside, and emergency walkways along both sides of the tunnel.

Everyone climbed onto the emergency walkways on either side.

"Look at the train’s head!"

At this time, a student shouted in shock.

Su Ming looked towards the direction of the train’s head and saw the train’s front engulfed in roaring flames at a distance.

He immediately proceeded along the emergency walkway towards the direction of the train’s head.

Seeing this, Gu Meng followed Su Ming towards the train head, and Qi Shen with Liu Xiao could only keep up.

Quickly, Su Ming and his group reached the emergency walkway beside the train’s head, where many people had gathered, including Qin Feng and Yu Wei.
