Amid the ever-long whine of the whistle, the train slowly moved away.
Gao Yi raised the lantern high above his head, looked at the extending railway in the dark night ahead, and sighed.
The nearby area is a deserted wasteland. Not to mention the train, there is not even a trace of the line.
At this point, if they want to move forward, the only thing they can rely on is the rail car they had when they came.
"Let's make do with it."
Fortunately, the rail car is not small. At least in the eyes of human beings' "crowding" culture, there is absolutely no problem in arranging five more people in, except for the literal meaning of "looking up, not meeting, looking down"!
Three people were assigned to enter the cab, and the other two people stayed on the platform to look out. Until the rail car finally started, they actually felt that there was a bit of room, at least it was still far from the level of a car of bread people.
"If you want to kill a whole car because of a rollover, just stop it." Gao Yi could no longer complain.
The rail car set off again, heading deeper into Hades.
Woo~~!
I don’t know how long we have advanced.
In the distance, the skyline lights up slightly, as if to announce the arrival of dawn in this world.
The darkness, which was like substance, receded like the tide.
Gao Yi, who was a little sleepy, once again captured the vast black ocean in the distance.
"Hai! No..."
Compared with before, this time he seemed to be standing on the coast, and he could deeply feel the waves that were constantly hitting the rocks and the fine foam rolled up out of thin air.
Go back to sleep.
The final destination of all the dead.
The railway stops here, the river stops here, and countless souls flow towards the tide one after another until they are completely submerged by the sea water, reaching... the eternal end.
"do you remember?"
Jian Weilan's voice sounded from the cab: "The high-speed train we were riding at that time called the place 'this shore'. So now that we have arrived at 'Gui Ming', is there a whole new world on the other side of it?"
Gao Yi turned his head and couldn't help but joke: "Maybe it's like what the myth says, reincarnation goes around, and death is not the end of the underworld. The soul can only be reborn after being washed by the sea and walking to the other side."
Uncle Gong threw cold water: "It's a pity. Whether it's true or false, it's not something we can pry into."
"In front of us, no one can cross this sea of death."
Hua Hua Hua...
As the railcar advanced, the sound of the tide gradually became clearer. The land under their feet was like a javelin, thrusting straight into the ocean. The surrounding gravel tidal flats disappeared and were replaced by gray sandy beaches.
Crunch——
The continuously extending railway track finally reached its end. Jian Weilan stopped the car and a group of people walked onto the beach, feeling the unfamiliar touch under their feet. For a moment, they were a little lost.
"Here we are……"
After an unknown amount of time, they successfully reached the end of Hades.
So, where is the culprit of everything?
"The coastline of Guimian is very long, so we may not have found the right place."
At this time, Uncle Gong suggested: "Why don't we divide our forces into two groups and search along the coastline. If we find anything unusual then, we can return to the rail car, regroup, and make an agreement."
"Separate actions? I'm afraid this isn't appropriate?"
Gao Yi knows the horror of Hades.
But this does not mean that this emotion will be truthfully conveyed to everyone with the exchange of information.
In the end, Jian Weilan decided to split up.
There is no other reason.
The time they have left is very little.
Starting from April 1st when they entered Hades, there were still four days before Qingming. However, it took them at least one day to arrive at Guiming. After all, they only had two days at most to resolve the incident.
As Uncle Gong said, the coastline of Guimian is unknown. If they search in one direction, there is a high probability that they will miss the target forever.
In order to end all of this before the drastic changes that may occur during the Qingming Festival, Jian Weilan had to make this move.
Gao Yi had nothing to say about this.
Two temporary teams were quickly confirmed.
One side consisted of Jian Weilan, Uncle Gong and two team members. The other side was composed of Gao Yi and two other team members.
Obviously, what prompted Jian Weilan to make this decision was not only the pressing situation, but also Gao Yi's ability to reassure him.
The possibility of something going wrong between the two of them is slim.
"Don't leave too far away for the first time. Half an hour later, we will reunite. Based on the clues we get, we will decide whether to act separately or search together in one direction."
After giving an explanation, Jian Weilan turned around and walked in the opposite direction to Gao Yi.
"Let's go too."
Gao Yi nodded to his two team members and walked in the other direction.
rustle……
The coastline of Gui Ming, unlike reality, has abundant extra value.
Apart from the misty sky, the gray sandy beach, and the monotonous sound of the tide on the endless ocean, there is no fresh scenery here, except...
"Um?"
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Gao Yi suddenly let out a light sigh and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this?"
In the distance, a dark, slender figure lay on the beach, as if dead, motionless.
Gao Yi ignored the two people behind him and stepped forward quickly. It wasn't until he got closer that he could see the full picture of this creature.
Meat grinder!
It was actually the same one that he and Xiao Di encountered at that time!
Because he could clearly see the burn marks and knife wounds on the other person's neck, Gao Yi immediately determined its identity.
How could it die here?
Gao Yi quickly squatted down and turned on the high-beam flashlight.
After some inspection, he found that the injury on the back of the meat grinder's neck had healed. Apparently, some incredible force had saved it.
However, it still died here, leaving scars all over its body like a beast fighting.
This illustrates the fact that it was killed by its own kind!
And judging from the freshness of the wound, its death time would never exceed half a day!
"It shouldn't be like this..."
Gao Yi stood up and clenched his fists.
Everything is aimed at the depths of the Purple Mountain. This is the end point where reality and Hades overlap. There really is some incredible integration.
society?
Even a meat grinder can be treated.
However, it is not lawful.
Even a meat grinder will be killed without any room for maneuver.
Rumble…
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the unprecedented sound of the waves beside him, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Get away! The tide is rising!"
He said this to the two team members behind him.
However, when he finished retreating and turned around again, he found that it was still too late.
The two team members seemed to have not reacted, and still stayed in place. The foamy seawater surged up instantly, soaking most of their bodies.
Gao Yigang made an action of throwing the rope, but it suddenly stopped, like a solidified sculpture.
Because an astonishing scene is happening in front of you.
The two team members stared at him blankly. Most of their bodies were clearly standing in the tide, but there was no sign of being swallowed up.
"you!"
Gao Yi felt as if his heartbeat had suddenly skipped a beat, and an electric shock-like sense of crisis spread throughout his body, like a boneless snake that instantly enveloped his entire body from head to toe.
"Why are you standing in the realm of death?!"
…
"Jian Xi, do you remember the Haiyan I told you before heading to the East China Sea?"
On the other side, amid the rustling footsteps, Uncle Gong suddenly spoke to Jian Weilan.
"certainly."
Jian Weilan was a little strange, but still replied: "You said that our prospects are like a never-ending storm. Despite the wind and rain, lightning and thunder, the petrel will never stop its freedom and flight. This is its The struggle is also its mission.”
"OK."
Uncle Gong nodded: "Very good."
His tone suddenly changed sharply.
"What if his wings are broken?"
