The college special train traveled in stop-and-go mode for four days. Although it was underground, it was impossible to know the scenery outside, but judging from the increasingly full luxury boxes and the crowded dining car self-pay area, they seemed to be getting closer to Central City. .
The closer to the central city, the better the economic development of the region, and the clothes and conversation of the students who come here are very different. Su Yu rarely came into contact with them, and went back and forth between the library car and the fitness car every day as usual.
On the night of the fourth day, Su Yu came back from the fitness carriage as usual. He had just taken a hot bath and was drying his hair when he heard someone knocking on the door.
As soon as the door opened, Zheng Wang and Zhao Dacheng stood at the door for the first time. Both of them were carrying backpacks, as if they were going somewhere soon. When they saw her hair with dripping hair loose, they were both stunned.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu asked.
"Oh," Zhao Dacheng came back to his senses: "Zheng Wang said that he would arrive at the 'corpse pile' outside Central City early tomorrow morning, and researchers from the academy would go down to take samples. We can see outside then."
"Heap of corpses?"
Zheng Wang showed his head: "Yes, it's the famous 'corpse pile'. When Central City was built, tens of millions of zombies were wiped out. The pile of corpses stretched for several kilometers. Many samples in the academy are from Do you want to see what was collected there?"
Driving underground is dark and relies on lights to provide light every day. Of course Su Yu wants to take a look at the scenery outside and see the sunshine by the way.
"Think about it, when will you go?" she replied.
"Tonight." Zhao Dacheng said.
"Isn't it going to arrive tomorrow?"
Zheng Wang pointed to the backpack he was wearing: "You have to go to the observation car early to reserve a seat, otherwise tomorrow there will be too many people and the observation car will be closed and no entry will be allowed. You pack up quickly, the two of us will go first!"
After he finished speaking, he hurried back to Box 2 and picked up the burgers: "You should also take Xiaowei with you. It's not reassuring for them to stay alone all night."
Zhao Dacheng also followed Zheng Wang, and after thinking for a while, he turned back and added: "Su Yu, the observation carriage is No. 86."
As Su Yu walked along, it seemed that everyone was heading towards Car No. 86. When he followed the crowd and arrived, the whole car was already full. The staff said that the observation car has reached the maximum number of people, and they have to close the observation car tonight.
Fortunately, Zheng Wang and Zhao Dacheng came early to occupy a place for the three of them.
To say that it is a seat, it is just three open spaces where you can lie down, because the entire observation carriage is empty without any seats or facilities. In fact, to be precise, it is like a large container with glass on three sides. . However, Zheng Wang said that the seat they occupied was not ordinary. It was right next to the door of the carriage. When the researchers from the college got off the car to collect samples, they could watch the entire process of the researchers getting off the carriage up close.
The design of the observation carriage is, firstly, to facilitate the observation of people in the carriage, and secondly, to form an isolation space connecting the special train with the outside world, so that in the event of an emergency, the entire carriage can be isolated in time to avoid dangerous situations for the entire train.
Su Yu carefully observed that this carriage was not only longer than other carriages, but also had one meter wider on both sides. Although the entire carriage was still dark now, he could think about it when he arrived on land tomorrow. It must be a bright scene.
With such expectations, Su Yu fell asleep on the hard and cold floor of the carriage. Xiaowei was close to her intimately. The dog's body temperature made her sleep particularly soundly...
＊
Noisy sounds were buzzing in her ears, and something hot and wet was licking Su Yu's face, tickling her, causing her to open her eyes unconsciously.
"You're finally awake." Zheng Wang's big head appeared in front of him, and Xiao Wei was sticking out his tongue happily.
"You seem to have slept more soundly this time than in the box, and you are even snoring." Zheng Wang then joked, "If you don't wake up, you will miss the train exit."
Su Yu looked around after hearing this and found that the carriage was still illuminated by lights. Everyone had already stood up, sitting or standing, looking forward to it.
"It's seven o'clock." Zhao Dacheng said suddenly.
As his voice fell, the lights in the carriage were instantly turned off, plunging everyone into darkness.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu could clearly feel that the train began to tilt and was heading up the slope. A ray of light slowly shined through the corner of the glass car onto everyone's faces.
As the train moved forward, this ray of light slowly expanded, and then suddenly it became brighter, and the overwhelming sunlight illuminated the entire carriage.
The entire No. 86 observation car went up to a huge platform. The train slowly stalled and stopped steadily.
People who haven't seen the sun for a long time seem to be uncomfortable with the sunlight. Even the not warm morning light took a while for everyone's eyes to adapt.
But when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, the sound of gasping could still be heard in the carriage.
This is a pile of corpses that has existed for hundreds of years.
Many people can't help but sigh that this famous corpse pile has only appeared in partial pictures in the news or books, because no one can take a complete picture of it. Even if you look at it intuitively, it is endless and endless.
Zombies have been produced continuously for hundreds of years, and new zombies are stacked here again in waves. The pile of corpses has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people gathering.
The huge pile of corpses stood like skyscrapers. Su Yu raised his head and looked at the top of the pile of corpses, feeling that the height would soon block the sun in the sky. Around the pile of corpses, scattered zombies were wandering around aimlessly, seemingly showing no reaction to this huge mass of corpses of their own kind.
To Su Yu's surprise, there was no blood on the ground or mosquitoes and flies as he had imagined. The stacked zombies were almost shriveled, like piles of dead branches and leaves swept up on campus in autumn.
This endless pile of corpses surrounded the first wall of the central city, coating the city that filled Su Yu with a heavy and oppressive dark black.
This heavy feeling makes people breathless.
"Why not burn it on fire?"
Zhao Dacheng and Su Yu spoke out at the same time.
The two looked at each other and smiled, probably having similar feelings in their hearts.
But a smiling voice came from the carriage:
"Of course it's because it can't be burned. What you can think of, the academy can't think of?"
There was a small sound of conversation in the carriage, mostly girls whispering to each other. They looked in the direction of the sound with starry eyes.
Probably some influential figure in the college? School idol? Su Yu thought to himself.
The three of them looked back together and saw a boy wearing a gray protective suit walking through the crowd. He hadn't put on his protective helmet yet, so a pair of romantic peach blossom eyes with a smile on his face looked straight at him.
With everyone watching, he walked to the car door, took out the binoculars and took a look, then turned around and handed the binoculars to Su Yu who was standing by the door, winked and said:
"I'll lend you my little girl," he pointed at the pile of corpses in the distance: "Look over there."
"Thank you." Su Yu curiously took the telescope and raised it to his eyes, looking in the direction the boy pointed.
