Chapter 178 [Psionic branch: survivors of the old days]

The door of the subway car slowly opened, and the pile of red clay figures blocked out by the transparent isolation window seemed to know very well that it was the door, and they all rushed towards the opening.

The passengers in the carriage panicked. They screamed in fright and fled to the carriages on both sides, sticking to the side away from the door.

Diana yelled at everyone to close their eyes and pointed a gun at the unknown creature outside the car. The scene was chaotic.

Chen Ke turned around and found that he was the only one left in this carriage. Diana was standing at the junction of the carriages, helpless. Everyone had scattered and she didn't know which way to pursue her.

With a little observation, you can find that although the car door is open, the door that separates the glass wall is not open, so the monsters can't get in for the time being, but the banging sound of the door is extremely frightening.

Chen Ke took advantage of this stall and took a closer look at the clay figurine beating on the isolation glass wall. He couldn't tell without looking at it, but when he took a closer look, he realized that it was not a clay figurine, but a maggot figurine made of tens of thousands of red maggots.

The tiny red maggots are entangled with each other, forming the shape of a human being, and they are constantly flowing up and down, in and out. Just one look at them can make people vomit out the food in their stomachs overnight.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhivity shush sound noises"

From a distance, Chen Ke saw that many people had fainted from fear, and some even vomited while holding on to the car wall.

Diana couldn't bear it anymore. She swallowed back the things she was about to spit out several times. At the same time, she was also under tremendous mental pressure.

Chen Ke also thinks these things are disgusting, but they themselves have no mental attack capabilities.

In fact, judging from the increase or decrease in life span of 5 minutes per second, these maggots are actually very weak, they just look too disgusting.

Without even guessing, Chen Ke knew that these things must be afraid of fire.

"Chen Ke, don't look at those things, they will affect your sanity." Diana looked back and saw Chen Ke studying the maggot man outside the window, and reminded her hurriedly.

"Look, the painting style on the platform outside seems to be different." Chen Ke looked back at Diana and reminded.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Diana suppressed her nausea and looked towards the platform.

I saw the red light of the platform outside flashing, and the ground was covered with an unknown black mud-like object. A blue platform sign was leaning against a pillar, and most of it was also covered by the mud. Only the rear could be seen.

Half of white letters: "49th Street".

"49th Street? I remember this is a stop on Line 2. Why are we here?" Diana asked confused.

"The biggest question shouldn't be...what's happening up there now?" Chen Ke looked at Diana and said.

"Yes...what happened on the street...why so many strange things suddenly appeared..." Diana had already realized the seriousness of the problem, and she couldn't help but guess the worst thing about it.

Chen Ke looked at the direction of the front of the car and thought about going to the captain in the cab to check the situation.

The subway is also driven by people, but the door opening and closing system is automatic. When there is a foreign object in the door slot and the subway door cannot be closed, the door will automatically repeat the opening and closing action. If the door is automatically opened and closed three times, then the car will not start.

The driver needs to operate manually.

In this situation, it is of course more reliable to continue driving forward.

Chen Ke guessed that something must have happened to the subway, causing some kind of displacement and jumping from one route to another. Whatever happened on 49th Street, it means that the streets above the subway station must also be miserable.

In this case, the administration should have already taken action.

"Chen Ke, what are you going to do?" Diana asked when she saw Chen Ke was about to walk forward.

"I want to see the situation in the cab. After all, they decide where we will go next. I think it is more reliable to let them stop halfway." Chen Ke replied.

At this time, the subway suddenly moved slightly, and the doors slowly closed. This subway did not have an electronic stop announcer. It was a very old subway, and the car stopped and started very abruptly.

The car door slowly closed, making a clicking sound. Outside the door, the sound of those maggots knocking on the glass wall was also much weaker. Their bodies had no strength, so it was difficult to knock open the glass wall of the subway station.

The car started moving slowly, carrying the entire train of people into the darkness ahead. But compared to the platform with the red light flashing, the dark subway tunnel made people feel more at ease.

"Chen Ke, I'm going to gather everyone together, and you can go to the front cab to check on the situation, okay?" Diana looked at Chen Ke.

"Well, try to gather in the middle car. If something really happens in the city, the subway system will definitely be paralyzed. Then there will be a rear-end collision or a crash. The middle car may be safer," Chen Ke said.

Diana nodded, put away the gun, and ran to the back car.

Chen Ke walked forward, and he could feel the car slowing down. It seemed that the driver of the subway had the same idea as him, but he was afraid of being rear-ended, so he did not stop completely.

The passengers in the first few carriages turned pale with fright. A black boy was so frightened that his expression was dull. His fat girlfriend lifted him to a chair and lay down on it, constantly comforting him.

There were also a dozen young men and women who looked like students, carrying schoolbags, hugging each other, sitting on the chairs on the right, all bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Of course, there are also some determined buddies who are swearing at their mobile phones. As you can imagine, no one has a signal.

The subway tunnels have long been covered by the network. The lack of signal can only mean that they are either out of the service area or the organization providing the network has been paralyzed.

If the latter is the case, it only means that the problem has become so serious that it cannot be saved.

But Chen Ke doesn't think things are that bad, because all disasters in the world cannot happen in an instant.

Just now, Chen Ke and Diana were shopping in Wal-Mart. There was nothing happening on the street, and there was no emergency news. Even after getting on the subway, Diana was still checking Facebook.

Just for one stop, something like this happened. Chen Ke felt that the whole thing was a bit strange.

Those maggots just now did not have any information pop-up boxes in his field of vision, they were not alienated objects, they were not monsters, and they did not have any affixes.

This is obviously unreasonable. Either they are new things beyond Chen Ke's knowledge, or his life countdown just failed.

But his lifespan was still passing by second by second. After getting away from those maggots, his lifespan stopped increasing, but it had already reached the upper limit of 20 hours.

There is no way the countdown is malfunctioning. He thought to himself as he walked all the way to the top of the subway.

The subway cab cannot be entered from the passenger compartment, but has a separate door. Chen Ke could only knock on the window to try to communicate with the driver.

There are usually two subway drivers. They are responsible for contacting stations, monitoring train conditions, and reporting line conditions in a timely manner.

Two white drivers wearing blue hats and white shirts were in the cab. Their minds were relatively normal because the cab was isolated from the platform. Even if they knew something was wrong, they would still feel a sense of security.

After hearing Chen Ke knocking on the window, they all looked back at Chen Ke and took out a piece of paper that read: "Go back to your seats and sit down, we are contacting the dispatch room."

Chen Ke shook his head and made a "no" gesture, indicating for them to stop.

The two pilots didn't know whether they understood or not, so they waved their hands together and rejected Chen Ke's proposal.

"The situation may be earlier at the next stop. Stopping here is the best choice!" Chen Ke shouted while gesturing, causing people in the carriage to look at him.

"Young man, control your emotions. Someone from the administration will handle it when you get to the station." An old black man sat on the seat and said to Chen Ke.

"Dear passengers, please sit on your seats. We are in contact with the dispatch room and trying to figure out what happened above. Before that, please wait patiently on your seats..." the subway driver said through the in-car communicator.
