Chapter 836 568: Hope
At this moment, the carriage was also in chaos with cries and shouts, because there was no phone signal in the tunnel, making it impossible to call for help. Moreover, the front two or three carriages were completely destroyed by the impact of the soil, and it's unknown how many people died outright inside.
The scene was unbearably cruel for a moment, and Xia Liang's face also turned ugly.
Fuck! Why does something have to happen every time I go out! The last time I took a flight, the time before that too!
If I could predict my own future, Xia Liang would have divined each time before going out.
Am I the legendary protagonist? Everything happens to me, truly unlucky, but there's nothing I can do now. This tunnel is airtight, so we must leave here first.
"Tongtong, let's go, let's head towards the back, and see if we can leave from the last carriage."
Xia Liang said in a serious tone.
"It's impossible, many carriages have overturned and are damaged, we've completely lost connection with the other carriage segments, it's too hard to get to the back carriage."
Liu Tongtong shook her head, speaking with some despair.
"How will we know if we don't try? We can't just wait here to die. Right, see if there's any useful tools, bring them all."
Xia Liang quickly comforted.
Only then did Liu Tongtong recall that Xia Liang was not an ordinary person, he was God Xia, the creator of countless miracles.
So she hurriedly looked around and picked up a few metal plates, then followed Xia Liang, trudging towards the back of the carriage.
On the way, they saw many passengers panicking, some sitting paralyzed on the ground, at a loss.
Xia Liang didn't focus on these people for the moment, instead, he and Liu Tongtong moved to the back of the carriage, and unsurprisingly, it was also blocked.
At this moment, quite a few people were gathered there, crowding together, trying to find a way to open the door.
But the carriage's steel was special-made, and combined with the impact of soil outside, the connections of the carriage were directly deformed, impossible to open with human strength. Of course, Xia Liang could easily take Liu Tongtong away, but what about these people?
Besides Xia Liang, everyone else was anxious but had no solution. Plus, the carriage space was reduced and air didn't circulate, with the air turning into a situation where each breath reduced the oxygen left.
In no time, if these people couldn't get out, they'd suffocate to death here.
"I don't want to die here, I am still young, I really don't want to die."
"What do we do? I have two kids, how would they survive without their mom!"
"I have business to attend to in Jiangnan, now it's all delayed, sigh!"
"Stop thinking about other things, if we can't get out, everyone will die here, what's the point of talking about anything else."
A wave of pessimism spread in everyone's heart.
Xia Liang understood that in this situation, it was unfavorable for everyone to escape from here.
If he doesn't do something, then everyone here will wait to die.
So, Xia Liang clapped his hands, drawing attention from everyone, then solemnly spoke.
"Everyone look over here, I know the predicament we're facing makes us feel hopeless, but there is still a glimmer of hope. If everyone strives, I can definitely lead us out of here."
Hearing Xia Liang speak like this, everyone couldn't help but look at him. A middle-aged man asked eagerly, "In this situation, how can you lead us out?"
Xia Liang replied calmly.
"Of course, by breaking through a passage. However, everyone must follow my arrangements to have a chance to escape."
Though the man doubted, he had no choice now and slightly nodded.
"Alright, as long as you can keep us alive, we'll follow your lead."
Upon hearing this, Xia Liang spoke plainly.
"Okay, now I need a lighter and a metal plate, hope you can find them quickly."
The middle-aged man hurriedly took out a lighter.
"I have a lighter here."
He said, handing the lighter to Xia Liang.
Another woman removed a metal plate from the bed and handed it to Xia Liang.
"Here's a metal plate."
Then another woman asked curiously.
"Handsome, what are you going to do with these things?"
Xia Liang smiled slightly.
"Of course, to open this damaged door first."
Hearing this, everyone showed doubtful expressions.
Using these two things to open the deformed and twisted door, isn't that a joke?
And whether it opens or not aside, once anything goes wrong, it'll immediately cause pressure changes, and the soil outside will rush in immediately.
At that time, wouldn't everyone still be buried by soil?
"No, the door can't be opened now. If it opens, outside soil will rush in, won't we be buried here?"
Others also echoed this sentiment.
Even Liu Tongtong instinctively nodded; under such circumstances, there wasn't spare space to utilize, once this situation is destroyed everyone will die here.
Xia Liang remained calm.
"Don't worry, I have my ways, but now, please find me more of these metal plates, the more the better."
Upon hearing, everyone exchanged glances and seeing Xia Liang's composed manner, chose to believe him.
These plates were bed boards of the sleeper berth; there were many in the carriage. Hearing Xia Liang's command, everyone began to act.
"Don't know what that guy is going to do with those metal plates?"
"Who knows, but as long as he can lead us out of here, even if he wants an arm, I'd give it."
"Indeed, if we can survive and leave, I'd pay any price."
"Alright, stop talking, let's get to work. The oxygen here is getting less, I feel breathing is difficult."
A dozen people tinkered with metal plates, whispering, but after the last person spoke, the others fell silent, burying themselves in work.
After all, what he said was true.
Now the oxygen was being consumed too quickly, if they didn't get to work fast, oxygen would decrease even more and everyone would die quicker.
Soon, dozens of metal plates were piled in front of Xia Liang, who nodded slightly, and asked everyone to step back.
Then, Xia Liang picked up two metal plates and gently knocked them together, and amazingly, the two plates stuck together as one, creating a whole piece about a meter high.
This scene instantly amazed everyone, and they hurried forward to examine the metal plate.
