Chapter 93 Rescue (Sing a little love song for the leader) (18th update)

At this moment, Su Ming looked towards the front of the train, only to see the burning engine, mangled beyond recognition, as if it had crashed into something.

“How tragic!”

“The people in the train’s cab are probably dead.”

“In this situation, they’re definitely dead.”

Just as everyone was discussing, Yu Wei observed the tracks around the front of the train and said to Qin Feng,

“Qin Feng, look at the tracks, it looks like shattered metal blades.”

“There shouldn’t be metal blades in this tunnel.”

Qin Feng was also quite puzzled.

Su Ming heard their discussion and immediately looked closely, indeed seeing some shimmering silver metal blades scattered around the tracks at the front of the train.

He immediately became interested and wanted to go down and touch one.

In fact, there were quite a few people with the same thought as him; even Qin Feng and his group climbed down from the emergency walkway.

However, just then, a shout stopped them.

“Don’t get close, it’s dangerous here!”

Su Ming and the others turned their heads to look, only to see two security guards holding rifles, rushing over.

Seeing this, Qin Feng and the others could only give up.

Su Ming shook his head; it was clearly a no-go. These security guards were there to protect the scene.

At this moment, Gu Meng, who was nearby, intentionally sought a topic and asked Su Ming,

“Su Ming, do you know what this train crashed into to end up like this?”

“I’m not sure, there are many possibilities, but the greatest possibility is that it might have crashed into some kind of monster.”

Su Ming pondered for a moment, then stated his conjecture.

“Monster.”

After hearing Su Ming’s words, Gu Meng instinctively felt a bit scared and took a step back.

“Gu Meng, don’t listen to his nonsense, he blames everything on monsters. If there really were monsters, there should at least be bodies at the scene! And even if there are monsters, it’s fine, isn’t there still me? I’ll protect you.”

Qi Shen quickly interjected.

Unfortunately, Gu Meng had no mind to listen to Qi Shen’s words; she said to Su Ming,

“Then isn’t it very dangerous here?”

“It’s alright, so far we haven’t seen any other monsters. It might just be an isolated incident. For now, we should consider how to get out of danger.”

Su Ming replied rationally.

“That’s right, let’s get out of danger first! Where are we now? Tunnels should have emergency exits.”

Gu Meng fully agreed with Su Ming’s words.

Su Ming looked at the tunnel wall, at the painted signs, and then said,

“There are markings on the tunnel wall. We are at the JS-532 tunnel node, 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 rejected Gu Meng’s suggestion.

“Tsk, if you say we can’t go out, then we can’t go out? Are we supposed to just squat here?”

Qi Shen mindlessly retorted Su Ming. The more he looked at Su Ming now, the more displeased he became, especially since Gu Meng kept talking to this guy.

“Qi Shen, don’t talk. Su Ming, why can’t we go out?”

Gu Meng interrupted Qi Shen’s words and, with an incredibly good temper, asked Su Ming.

If it were before, she would have long since scoffed.

“It’s hot inside the tunnel, isn’t it?”

“It’s hot, I’m already sweating profusely.”

Gu Meng replied cooperatively.

“The surface outside is even hotter, at least 60 degrees Celsius or more. And it’s afternoon now, the hottest time, so we’d be roasted alive if we went out.”

Su Ming sighed and replied.

“You’re right, then what do we do now?”

“Don’t worry, the signal facilities in the tunnel aren’t broken. The train staff have probably already contacted for rescue. And I saw many passengers also making calls. We just need to wait patiently.”

“You’re so smart.”

Gu Meng praised him with a smile.

Qi Shen, who was nearby, immediately became even more annoyed, but he also had reservations and didn’t dare to openly mock Su Ming, so he could only mutter to himself,

“Tsk, who doesn’t know the temperature outside is high? You don’t need to tell me.”

Su Ming didn’t care; he quietly stood in place, waiting for rescue. Although the tunnel had ventilation, it circulated hot air, so the temperature inside the tunnel was at least 45 degrees Celsius.

Time passed bit by bit.

Su Ming felt increasingly hot, sweat constantly seeping from his skin, and his clothes were soaked, but even so, he didn’t take them off.

The students around him were all incredibly hot, too. Many boys took off their shirts, exposing their upper bodies, some even taking the opportunity to pose and show off their muscles.

As for the girls, many couldn’t stand it either and successively took off their outer layers, revealing their fair skin and thighs.

Gu Meng wiped the sweat from her forehead. She hesitated for a moment, then finally took off her leather jacket, revealing the white camisole underneath, and her fiery figure was instantly on full display.

Su Ming watched Gu Meng take off her leather jacket and immediately turned his head away.

Gu Meng watched Su Ming gentlemanly turn his head away, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

Qi Shen, who was nearby, looked at Gu Meng’s fiery figure and her proud chest, and was immediately captivated, unable to tear his eyes away.

He couldn’t help but swallow.

At this moment, Gu Meng also noticed Qi Shen’s blatant gaze and immediately said angrily,

“What are you looking at?”

“Nothing, I wasn’t looking, don’t be angry.”

Qi Shen immediately panicked and quickly defended himself.

Gu Meng ignored him and actively moved closer to Su Ming, saying,

“Su Ming, what’s your phone number? It’s rare for us to study in the same city; we can contact each other when we have time.”

Su Ming was a little surprised that Gu Meng would ask for his phone number, but he didn’t want to give it to her.

Although this young lady didn’t know what she was thinking, Su Ming knew very well that her temper wasn’t very good, so he shook his head slightly and refused.

“Forget it. Star City is so big, who knows when we’ll be able to meet.”

“Then next time, how about if we meet again, you give it to me?”

Gu Meng was a little disappointed when Su Ming refused her, but she didn’t give up.

“Alright.”

Su Ming agreed with a slight hint of surprise.

At this time, the surrounding students and passengers complained incessantly.

“How much longer until rescue arrives? We’re practically dying of heat.”

“Exactly, I feel like I’m getting heatstroke.”

“The efficiency is too low!”

“Everyone, please bear with it. Rescue is on the way and should arrive very soon.”

One by one, the train attendants, their clothes soaked and throats dry, comforted the crowd.

Just as everyone’s patience was reaching its limit, a strong light shone from the distant tunnel, and at the same time, the sound of a train moving was heard.

“A train is coming.”

“Rescue is here!”

Everyone shouted excitedly.

Su Ming also looked expectantly at the approaching train.

The train began to slow down and finally stopped in front of everyone.

Beep beep ~

At this moment, the train doors opened, and soldiers in exoskeletons rushed out of the train.

Leading them was a sharp-eyed tomboy wearing second-generation red metal exoskeleton armor, Rock Steel. She waved her hand decisively.

“Team One, cordon off the impact site. Team Two, inspect the damaged train. Teams Three and Four, spread out to search and secure the tunnel.”
