Chapter 50: The Unexpected Turn of Events

  Change

  No invitation was needed; people had already swarmed in.

  There is indeed a passageway here, and it's a very wide cement passageway. The diameter of the passageway is equal to that of the rest room. Apparently, this rest room was formed by isolating part of the passageway.

  As people walked into this passageway, they all let out a cheer at the same time.

  By the faint light of their flashlights, they saw a sign covered in dust. It was the emergency passage for Subway Line 1.

  Everyone quickened their pace.

  Lin Yu and Chen Yun stood together in front of the small man-made opening, watching those who had already entered the passage cheering non-stop. Even Lin Yu's face showed a hint of a smile.

  Lin turned around and found that there were only herself, Chen Yun, and the two old men left in the rest room.

  Those two old men were huddled together in each other's arms, curled up in a corner of the wall, seemingly asleep.

  Lin walked over with a smile and gently patted the old man's shoulder.

  "Grandpa, we've found the way out, let's go..."

  "It's no use." A voice trembled as it sounded. Lin Yu had never heard such a desperate tone before, not even on the battlefield.

  Lin was stunned, lifted his head, and saw a pair of misty tearful eyes. They were the old woman's eyes, she pressed the old man's head to her chest, tears like broken pearls.

  "I thought he was asleep. I really thought he was asleep." The old man gently stroked his partner's hair, looking like a happy newlywed wife.

  Chen Yun covered her mouth tightly, preventing herself from crying out loud.

  That kind-hearted old man has finally closed his eyes forever in the arms of his loved one. The icy river water ultimately took away this life that had experienced decades of wind and rain.

  The old man just sat there stupidly, muttering: "I thought he was asleep."

  "Come on, old granny, let's take you out." Lin Yuqiang held back his tears and walked to the old man's side, trying to pull her up. But the old man just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

  "Son, what's wrong with your little girlfriend?"

  Lin turned back tensely, but found that Chen Yun was also looking at him with a puzzled face. When he looked again, the old woman had already leaned on her partner's shoulder.

  A streak of bright red blood flowed from her mouth. With her last strength, she bit off her own tongue and chose to continue accompanying her loved one.

  Lin said nothing and just pulled Chen Yun's hand, turning into the dark passage.

  He tightened his grip on Chen Yun's hand. The death of the elderly couple had brought more enlightenment to his heart. Some things, when they are still in your hands, you have a responsibility to cherish them even more.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  The passageway is very long, and a strong, strange smell lingers. This is unavoidable. The Hanshan Metro Line 1 has been abandoned for exactly 10 years. It's been 10 years since anyone came here, so the smell can't be good.

  Lin took out his last flashlight in the tunnel and finally brought a ray of light to the darkness. They walked for two whole minutes before reaching the end of the tunnel.

  This was a grey double door, Lin directly ignored the big lock on top of it and used all his strength to shatter the large glass on the door. Then he went in first, Chen Yun closely followed behind him, then the woman and child, and finally the man.

  Lin and Zou walked into this space which should still be above the transfer station of Metro Line 1. There is a small work hall here.

  "Light all the lighters." Lin said so because his nose had confirmed that the strange smell in the hall was not methane. It's safer to use lighters. "Split up and search, there must be a way out."

  I don't know why, but the closer they got to a way out, the more uneasy Lin Yu felt. Why was that? They were already on Subway Line 1, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to get out soon. At least, there must be drainage pipes connected to the outside world here. As long as they went up through the pipes, there should be a way out somewhere.

  When I was outside, it was because I didn't know where the connection between Metro Line 1 and the tunnel across the river was. Now that I've broken through from inside to this point, going out is not even a difficult task at all.

  However, Lin's unease in her heart did not decrease by even a little bit because of this.

  He glanced at Chen Yun's expectant eyes and forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart.

  What's there to worry about at this point?

  Everyone quickly sprang into action.

  Lin and Da opened an iron door with a flashlight, revealing some cluttered cleaning tools inside. This was a storage room that looked like it hadn't been maintained in a long time.

  Lin retreated and went out, opening a iron gate of the next one.

  Just as Lin and So imagined, places that are generally marked with black are storing extremely dangerous items. For example, there are bundles of explosives here. These are products from 10 years ago and should have been left over when the tunnel was sealed.

  Lin thought for a moment, checked again, and these explosives were still intact, absolutely usable. He thought for a moment, didn't say anything, but held Chen Yun's hand and walked out.

  As soon as he stepped out, a cheer came from the southeast corner of the hall. Lin hurried his pace and rushed over.

  It turned out that the tunnel administrator relied on his own experience and found the drainage pipe leading outside.

  Everyone laughed.

  Except Lin Yu.

  Because he heard a loud "Ka" sound. The sound seemed to be the angry roar of steel breaking. Lin Yu didn't know that it was the sound of the northern connecting iron beam of the tunnel breaking. And they were running out of time.

  Everyone continued walking into the pipe.

  This pipe is very large, with a diameter of about 3 meters. Inside the pipe, on one side, there is also a wooden catwalk, estimated to be for maintenance personnel to walk through when inspecting the pipe.

  This section of pipe is very short, only about 10 meters long, and at the front end there is a wooden staircase.

  Now, even an idiot would know this is the way to the ground floor.

  There was another low murmur of applause in the pipe.

  Even Lin Yu finally put down his hanging heart and a smile appeared on his face.

  Everyone quickened their pace, and no one could suppress the excitement in their hearts. The short staircase was soon climbed, and in front of them was a small wooden platform. Lin and Gang had just stepped onto the platform when something unexpected happened.

  BOOM!!!!!!!

  A loud, deafening sound came from afar, and with this massive explosion, the entire pipeline began to shake violently. The old wooden staircase, which had stood for many years, finally could not withstand the tremendous torque and suddenly shattered into pieces.

  Just as Lin turned his head to look at the stairs, an even stronger tremor came over.

  "Ah..." A cry of surprise came, a black shadow flashed past Lin Yu and his side. Lin Yu almost instinctively reached out to grab, but the person was pulled away, falling down towards the pipe below.
