Chapter 1196 The Terminal Station of Line 0

“So, the legendary Subway Line 0 is just an underground city?”

As he stepped onto the concrete road covered by dust, Ding Liwei used the light scattered down from the skydome while he scanned through the dark streets.

Surprise was the emotion in his eyes, but behind the surprise, there was more disappointment in his emotion.

He was originally looking forward to a particular weapon hidden here, at least one powerful enough that it could get rid of CCCP and NAC.

But so far, disregarding any weapons, it was just towering high-rise buildings and empty streets.

This kind of scene was too common in the wasteland. If he must state the difference between the Shangjing above ground, then it must be the lack of zombies, mutants, and ugly nuclear craters.

No, certainly not just these…

Ding Liwei’s gaze carefully searched between the buildings on both sides of the street, for fear of missing a trace of detail.

“Or a city-sized fallout shelter. We just don’t know why there’s no one in this fallout shelter.” Wan Peng’s eyebrows were also written with disappointment. His looked away from the faded billboards as he muttered to himself, “Something must be wrong.”

More than one hundred P-series police power armors walked down the streets, and there were no other sounds.

High-rise buildings stood side by side, a prosperous scene, but at the moment they felt as depressing as tombstones, without the slightest sign of vitality. A dozen-kilometer-long maglev track spanned from above and divided the entire city into two.

Although no one lived here, it was indeed a city.

It was true no matter how you looked at the situation.

As for why Pan-Asia Cooperation decided to build such a city below Shangjing and why it had to be sealed for 50 years, no one knew. Or at least the person that knew was no longer on the planet…

If they did not come down from “above”, just standing here, it did not feel like the city was a kilometer under the surface.

The city’s distant area was covered by a thick layer of gray which caused the entire city to be surrounded by what looked like morning mist. Behind the mist, there seemed to be some sort of light source; a faint gleam that pierced through the mist and was sprinkled on to the streets.

It was precisely because of this that although located deep underground, the light was surprisingly sufficient, similar to cloudy days on the surface

The only flaw was that the distant grey gave off a depressing feeling.

“If I found this ‘heaven’ fifteen years ago, why build a wall? I would have just directly placed Pingan Street here. That would have saved us so much trouble.” Wan Peng’s eyes were fixated on the dead street as he grunted and said in a self-deprecating manner.

“It’s not too late. Do you want to pick a place to stay in?” Ding Liwei looked at him and said, grinning.

“I’ll pass. I was just joking.”

Although the place did not have any zombies or mutants, and without the need to worry about excessive radiation that would lead to growing another hand, it would not be long before people go insane in this kind of environment.

Just then, noises were heard in the distance.

It was not loud, but in this quiet city, it was conspicuous.

Everyone stopped and looked at the sky.

“What is that sound?” Ding Liwei frowned, opened the magnifying function on the eyepiece of the helmet, and fixed his eyes on the magnetic levitation track that spanned the city. Then, doubt appeared in his eyes. “That is not our train?”

“Obviously.” Wan Peng also noticed the anomaly in the sky and looked up at the track. “It seems that after I abandoned the train, someone repaired it.”

“Who is in the car?”

“Not our people,” Wan Peng shrugged and said.

That was enough information.

Ding Liwei did not speak, but gestured to the soldiers behind him and then pointed to the magnetic levitation track.

Four power armors walked up and took out rocket launchers, locked on the magnetic leviathan track in the air, and pulled the trigger simultaneously.

Four white smoke trails formed from the launchers as they locked in on different locations, seconds later, four rockets flew directly towards the magnetic levitation track.

…

The entrance to Line 0 was already open.

The train did not stop at all and whizzed past the gear-shaped gate.

After passing through the hole, the road narrowed abruptly, and the train continued in an unknown direction.

Still pondering on how much longer the ride would take, a shimmer of light appeared in front of them.

The train darted out of the dark tunnel, new scenery expanded before them.

Jiang Chen gradually became shocked when he looked down through the window of the train.

Just below the train was a futuristic-looking city!

Towering high-rise buildings stood below and straight streets neatly organized the city. Jiang Chen made a rough estimate that the underground city was at least the size of a district in Shangjing. On the conservative side, it could fit at least one million people.

The train quietly moved along the track suspended in the air.

It took a while for Jiang Chen to absorb the astonishment in his mind. He exclaimed while looking out the window.

“I didn’t expect the end of Line 0 would be a city.”

“Yeah,” Lu Fan said, while he also shared Jiang Chen’s shocked emotion.

“Right, where will this train take us?” Jiang Chen looked at Yao Yao.

“Ah? Let me see…” Yao Yao’s fingers quickly tapped on the tablet a few times, took a few glances at the holographic screen, and nodded seriously. “It should be in front of us soon. We will arrive at the terminal within ten kilometers. There is an elevator there, we can go—”

BOOM!

Without the slightest sign, the train moving at high speed seemed to be hit from the side as everything in the train was tossed to the other side.

Four explosions and four missiles hit the track one after another!

In the deafening screeching sound, the track suspending in the air swayed like noodles, and the steel cables hanging from the track broke apart one after another. Soon, the track that lost its load-bearing structure began to fall.

“FU*K!”

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth as he was tossed to the other side. He grabbed Yao Yao, who was flying in the air, in the heat of the moment.

The train completely lost its power. Gliding down the inclined track, everything on the track was in a weightless state. In order to grab Yao Yao, Jiang Chen lost his balance during a downward turn of the train and was thrown to the rear, crashing through rows of seats and rolling from the front of the train to the back.

Finally, the train completely left the track and nose-dived into the city.

“JUMP! JUMP!”

In the communication channel, Jiang Chen shouted. He used his back to block the incoming debris. Then holding Yao Yao with his left hand, he used his right hand to smash against the door, creating a dent in the aluminum door.

Without stopping, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, adjusted his posture, and supported the ceiling with his right hand. He looked at the already deformed door and stepped on it with all his force.

CLANK!

It was effective. The door flew out and disappeared quickly. The violent airflow poured in, scratching the steel armor.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen hugged Yao Yao in his arms and jumped out of the train. Along with the debris, they fell toward the city of high-rises…
