Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Rescue (Extra for the leader singing a love song) (18th update)
At that moment, Su Ming looked towards the front of the train and saw the burning locomotive, horribly disfigured as if it had crashed into something.
"How awful!"
"No one in the driver’s cab could have survived."
"With this situation, they definitely didn’t make it."
...
While everyone was talking, Yu Wei observed the tracks around the front of the train and said to Qin Feng.
"Qin Feng, look at the tracks, it seems like there are shattered metal blades."
"There shouldn’t be metal blades in this tunnel."
Qin Feng was equally puzzled.
Hearing their conversation, Su Ming looked closely and indeed saw some shimmering metal blades scattered around the tracks at the front of the train.
He suddenly became excited and wanted to go down to touch them.
In fact, there were quite a few people who felt the same way, including Qin Feng, who also climbed down from the emergency walkway.
But just then, a shout stopped them.
"Don’t go near, it’s dangerous!"
Su Ming and the others turned their heads and saw two security guards holding rifles, rushing over hurriedly.
Seeing this, Qin Feng and the others had no choice but to give up.
Su Ming shook his head, clearly understanding that there was no chance now, as the guards were there to protect the scene.
At that point, Gu Meng deliberately sought a conversation topic and asked Su Ming.
"Su Ming, do you know what this train collided with to end up like this?"
"Not sure, there are many possibilities, but the most likely scenario is that it might have hit some kind of monster."
Su Ming thought for a while and then voiced his speculation.
"Monster."
Hearing Su Ming’s words, Gu Meng instinctively became a bit frightened and stepped back.
"Gu Meng, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s blaming everything on a monster. If there really was a monster, there should be a corpse at the scene! And even if there were a monster, no worries, I’m here, I will protect you."
Qi Shen quickly interjected.
Unfortunately, Gu Meng wasn’t listening to Qi Shen’s words at all; she said to Su Ming.
"Then isn’t this place very dangerous?"
"It’s okay for now, we haven’t seen any other traces of monsters. It might just be an isolated incident, we should consider how to get to safety now."
Su Ming replied sensibly.
"Yes, first let’s find a way to safety! Where are we now? There should be an emergency exit in the tunnel."
Gu Meng agreed strongly with Su Ming’s words.
Su Ming glanced at the tunnel wall and saw the painted signs, and then said.
"There’s a marker on the tunnel wall, we’re at the JS-532 tunnel junction, about 1.2 kilometers from the nearest emergency exit."
"1.2 kilometers isn’t far, we can totally walk out."
Gu Meng immediately said to Su Ming.
"No, we can’t go out."
Su Ming directly vetoed Gu Meng’s suggestion.
"Come on, just because you say we can’t go out means we just sit here?"
Qi Shen mindlessly argued against Su Ming, especially as Gu Meng kept talking to him.
"Qi Shen, don’t talk, why can’t we go out?"
Gu Meng interrupted Qi Shen, extremely patiently asking Su Ming.
"The tunnel is hot, right?"
"Hot, I’m sweating through my clothes."
Gu Meng responded cooperatively.
"Outside it’s even hotter, at least 60 degrees. And it’s the hottest part of the afternoon now, going out could burn us to death."
Su Ming sighed and replied.
"Right, so what do we do now?"
"Don’t worry, the signal facilities in the tunnel aren’t damaged. The train staff must be contacting rescue services already. Besides, I’ve seen many passengers making calls too. We just need to wait patiently."
"You’re so smart."
Gu Meng praised with a smile.
Qi Shen, standing nearby, felt even more annoyed, but due to his reservations, he didn’t dare to mock Su Ming openly and could only mutter to himself.
"Pff, as if no one knew it’s hot outside, like we needed you to tell us."
Su Ming didn’t mind and just stood silently, waiting for the rescue. Although there was a ventilation system in the tunnel, it only circulated hot air, making the temperature inside reach at least 45 degrees Celsius.
Time slowly passed.
Su Ming felt increasingly hot, sweat continuously seeping from his skin, soaking his clothes, yet he didn’t take them off.
The students around him were also extremely hot. Many boys had taken off their tops, exposing their upper bodies, and some even struck poses to show off their muscles.
As for the girls, many couldn’t stand it either and began taking off their outer garments, revealing their fair skin and thighs.
Gu Meng wiped the sweat from her forehead, hesitated for a moment, and finally took off her leather jacket, revealing a white tank top underneath and her sizzling figure was fully exposed.
Seeing Gu Meng remove her jacket, Su Ming instantly turned his head away.
Gu Meng saw Su Ming turn his head away in a gentlemanly manner and her face showed a mischievous smile.
Qi Shen, observing Gu Meng’s hot figure and her impressive bust, was immediately captivated, unable to look away.
He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
At that moment, Gu Meng noticed Qi Shen’s blatant stare and said angrily,
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I wasn’t looking, don’t be mad."
Qi Shen immediately panicked and hastily defended himself.
Gu Meng ignored him and moved closer to Su Ming,
"Su Ming, what’s your phone number? It’s rare that we’re both studying in the same city, we could keep in touch when we’re free."
Su Ming was also a bit surprised that Gu Meng would ask for his number, but he didn’t want to give it to her.
Considering this young lady’s temper wasn’t the best, he shook his head slightly and declined,
"Forget it, Starlight City is so big, who knows when we’ll meet again."
"How about next time? If we meet again, you’ll give it to me then?"
Gu Meng, seeing Su Ming refuse, felt a bit disappointed, but she didn’t give up.
"Sure."
Su Ming agreed, slightly taken aback.
At this time, students and passengers around complained incessantly,
"When will the rescue arrive? We’re almost dead from the heat."
"Yeah, I feel like I’m getting heatstroke."
"The efficiency is too low!"
...
"Ladies and gentlemen, please endure a little longer. Rescue is on its way and should be here very soon."
A train attendant, soaked in sweat and parched, tried to soothe everyone.
Just as everyone’s patience was running thin, a strong light shone from the far end of the tunnel, and the sound of a train approaching was heard.
"There’s a train coming."
"Rescue is here!"
...
Everyone shouted excitedly. freewёbnoνel.com
Su Ming also looked eagerly toward the approaching train.
The train began to slow down and finally stopped in front of them.
Beep beep~
The train doors opened, and one by one, soldiers dressed in Exoskeleton Armor rushed out.
Leading them was a woman in a second-generation red metallic Exoskeleton Armor·Rock Steel, her eyes sharp as she swiftly gestured.
"First squad, secure the crash site. Second squad, inspect the damaged train. Third and fourth squads, spread out to search and secure the tunnel."
