Chapter 132: Afterlife Train and Equality Paradise
"Hello everyone, I am Xiaoyin, the restricted area reporter this time. This time I will lead everyone to explore the C-level restricted area - Equality Paradise."
In front of a certain dark tunnel, a black stone tablet stood with the four characters "Equality Paradise" written in red on it, with the letter "C" underneath.
In front of the stone tablet, a delicate and charming woman smiled at the camera and said, "This is the third exploration of Equality Paradise. The five explorers are obviously well prepared. I believe that with the support of the intelligence from the previous two times, this time
We will definitely succeed in conquering Equality Paradise."
"Please wait and see."
Behind her, five heavily armed explorers were already gearing up, looking quite excited.
In fact, not only the explorers were excited, but even the reporter Xiaoyin and the photographer could not hide their excitement - because the reward this time was so high!
For explorers who truly make a living by exploring secrets, restricted areas are like dungeons, with different 'monsters' inside, which will naturally produce different 'materials' - for example, the ones that appeared in Buyu Village can increase lifespan.
of fruits.
In fact, many explorers enter the restricted area not just for money, but for these rare 'materials', which are things that can be encountered but cannot be obtained.
However, even though the Forbidden Removal Bureau clearly has the ability to clear some restricted areas, it has never taken any action. In fact, this is the reason why they hope to obtain more useful materials.
In layman's terms, some materials are sustainable energy sources. If you cut one crop, you can wait for the next crop...
And precisely because the outputs of different restricted areas are different, their values will also be different, and the prices may even fluctuate with the market.
But now, due to some unknown reason, the value of Ping Ping Paradise has increased significantly, and the price of the exploration video has doubled!
It took a lot of effort for Xiaoyin to seize this opportunity and become a member of the third group of explorers.
She was extremely excited.
Just kidding, this time the lineup of explorers can be described as strong and powerful. Coupled with a lot of information obtained previously, even if everyone cannot go deeper, they still have the ability to withdraw at any time.
In other words...this quest is all about picking up money!
Just like that, everyone entered the tunnel with anticipation.
The tunnel is very dark and very long. The darkness spreads and there is no end in sight.
After entering the tunnel, everyone did not move forward, but stood aside, as if waiting for something.
Soon after, they heard the roar of a train and felt slightly relieved.
These people had already known the information about Pingding Paradise, so they didn't panic at all. They waited quietly for the train to stop and got on the train one by one.
"As we all know, the main body of Equality Paradise is an abandoned amusement park, and the method of entering it is quite interesting."
"Unlike many restricted areas, Pingping Paradise can only be entered by car. If you keep walking, you will just get lost in the tunnel and never be able to leave."
Yinzi explained with a smile, "Now we have successfully boarded the train to enter the park. It will take about five minutes to drive. Please wait patiently."
Everyone got in the car and sat down casually, looking calm.
Many people know that there is usually an area similar to a buffer zone after entering a restricted area. There is usually no danger in this area when entering the restricted area, but it is uncertain when leaving.
And this train, whose whole picture cannot be seen clearly, is the buffer zone before entering Pingding Paradise.
The scenery outside the window was fleeting. It was clearly a black tunnel, but the outside was full of fragmented colors, absurd and terrifying.
The strange thing is that even if everyone concentrates all their attention, they still can't see the scene outside the window clearly. Instead, their bodies will gradually become stiff, which is difficult to notice.
Everyone had known about this for a long time, so they just gave it a try and had no intention of continuing to commit suicide. They quickly withdrew their gaze and recharged their batteries, preparing to face the challenge in five minutes.
As a reporter, Xiaoyin naturally could not keep the audience waiting for five minutes. She thought for a while and said: "I believe everyone should be aware of the situation in Equality Paradise. Equality here actually refers to 'balance'. In this
You must not fall to the ground in the restricted area, otherwise you will be split open by a mysterious force, split in two from head to toe, and die."
"I heard that 'this knife' always cuts just right, and the left and right sides are very symmetrical. This is indeed 'equal'."
Xiao Yin told a cold joke, and his excitement became a little colder.
In this era of restricted areas, especially in restricted areas, jokes that use life and death as a carrier are actually not difficult to accept.
Because in the restricted area, the loss of life is unstoppable. It is like a common occurrence and must be used to it.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled and said: "But I believe we won't have the chance to experience this kind of 'equality' this time. We just need to avoid the pushing and pushing of those brats."
She was speaking from her heart, and she was full of absolute confidence in the staffing and intelligence collection this time——
Three C-levels and two D-levels, with output, tank and support!
Five professions plus full map vision. Can you tell me how to lose?
In fact, not just her, everyone is full of confidence in this exploration.
Soon, the speed of the train gradually slowed down, and everyone knew clearly that this was obviously a sign that the train was about to arrive at the station - they were about to arrive at Equality Paradise.
The car door slowly opened, and a burst of misty colorful lights flashed not far away, spreading outward from the ground, seeming to illuminate a colorful road in the darkness.
Under the light is a large, half-open iron door, with a slanted sign hanging on it. It can't be seen clearly in the dark, but it should read the words Equality Paradise.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, we are here."
Smiling at the camera, Xiaoyin stood up from her seat and was about to step out of the car door. Unexpectedly, a rotten arm suddenly appeared at the door, blocking her way.
Everyone was shocked——
No one noticed that two bodies appeared in front of the train door at some point!
They are dignified, wearing waiter's clothes, one black and one white, with leather shoes on their feet, standing upright, standing one on the left and one on the right at the car door, looking elegant and noble.
If it weren't for the rotting bodies and the stench, everyone would have mistaken them for two elegant gentlemen.
"What is this..." Xiao Yin's face turned pale and he quickly stepped back.
It wasn't because she was scared, but because she was surprised. She had never heard of corpses appearing on this train!
A group of explorers exchanged glances with each other. They had also never heard of such a thing.
In an instant, a woman in purple touched the ancient sword at her waist, and almost at the same time, the heads of the two corpses rolled to the ground.
It seemed that he was cut off by the sword at the woman's waist.
Seeing this, Xiaoyin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the camera and said with a smile: "Viewers, it seems there was an accident just now, but fortunately the problem is not..."
As she spoke, her smile quickly solidified.
Because at some point, a middle-aged man wearing a black and white tuxedo quietly appeared in the carriage.
He had two mustaches, his face was horribly pale, his eyes had vertical pupils, and his eyes seemed to be dyed red with blood. His posture was very much like the vampires in the past.
"Cough cough cough..."
"This passenger seems to have gone too far. Why did he hurt my lovely conductor?"
What is surprising is that the middle-aged man did not show any malice when he appeared, but instead had a flattering smile on his face and a humble tone.
This gesture made everyone who was wary stunned. They had never seen a forbidden creature that could talk - if the other party was a forbidden creature.
Everyone did not relax their vigilance because of this. Xiao Yin asked: "Who are you?"
"Of course I am the conductor of this train." The middle-aged man saluted everyone.
The explorers looked at each other: "We have never heard of a conductor on this car before."
"As you have said, that was before. But now... times have changed."
The middle-aged man held up the hat on his head and said with a smile, "This train will officially start operating from today. Please pay the fare now."
fare?
Without knowing the origin of the other party, no one was willing to fight with this weird guy yet. One person asked: "What's the fare?"
"Of course this is it."
The middle-aged man smiled strangely and rubbed his fingers gently, his gesture was a bit lewd.
What is creepy is that following his movements, the two corpses in front of the car door also made the same movements, and the rotten flesh on their fingers was rubbed off, which was a bit funny in the weirdness.
Everyone was stunned. Xiao Yin quickly reacted and asked in confusion: "You want money?"
"Isn't it reasonable to charge a small service fee?" the middle-aged man asked, the smile on his face getting brighter.
"Any money will do?"
"Of course not. We only charge life money, and we don't take credit." The middle-aged man smiled, revealing a row of sharp fangs.
"...To buy life money?"
Xiao Yin was startled by the other party's teeth, and her heart suddenly accelerated.
"Yes."
"But, we don't seem to have the money you want..." Xiao Yin was very embarrassed, she felt a dangerous aura.
"No?" The smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared and he said coldly, "Please tell me again... Do you have any money on you?"
Xiao Yin and everyone looked at each other. For safety reasons, they chose to take out everything they had on them and show it to the middle-aged man. Unexpectedly, the smile on the latter's face became increasingly ugly.
"No money... no money! If you don't have money, why are you pretending to be a master?"
"puff--"
Along with the middle-aged man's roar, there was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the body.
The middle-aged man lowered his head blankly and saw that a dagger had been pierced through his left chest.
The one who took action was the woman from before. Her actions were always straightforward and pointed to the point.
But even so, everyone still showed no intention of letting down their guard at all. On the contrary, their expressions became more solemn.
Because the middle-aged man was still standing firmly where he was, and not even a trace of blood came out of the wound!
"This guest is really...excessive."
The woman frowned slightly and was about to turn the dagger in the middle-aged man's body, but suddenly she heard the other party's murmur in her ears, distant and close, neither happy nor sad.
She was horrified, but found that her body had no sensation at all, and she could not feel the existence of her limbs no matter what.
She couldn't even twist her neck, so she could only roll her eyes desperately, and found that everyone else was trembling with fear on their faces.
what happened?
A slight chill spread across her cheeks, and the woman turned her eyes again with difficulty, only to see two rotten hands holding her face, stroking her face gently.
A chill hit her head, and she almost vomited, but she couldn't move. She could only endure the rotting hands and the stench, and her mind was filled with fear.
"Don't touch me, I'm so dirty!"
"Get away, don't touch me, it's disgusting!"
"Help me! Help me!"
"Please!"
"No, please, I'm sorry..."
"..."
She cried and begged and screamed loudly, but no one paid attention to her.
Everyone looked unbearable.
In despair, the woman suddenly saw a familiar headless corpse and was stunned.
This is……
Her pupils shrank suddenly and her lips wriggled, as if she wanted to say something, but she never had the chance, her consciousness gradually blurred, and then she fell into darkness.
It was so quiet in the train that you could hear a pin drop.
In the eyes of everyone, the woman holding the sword suddenly stood still, and then her head was easily removed by the corpse wearing a black waiter's uniform, and blood sprayed out.
But that head didn't know anything about it. Instead of dying like this, she screamed loudly, irritating everyone's nerves.
She didn't even know that she was quietly placed on the neck of the corpse.
The head and body obviously don't match, which causes the woman's head to tilt strangely, as if it might fall off at any time.
Perhaps she was tired from crying, so she closed her eyes in despair and lost all her vitality.
Although everyone was scared, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. This at least meant that the other party was free...
But not long after, a scene happened that made everyone’s scalp numb——
I saw the woman's head suddenly opened her eyes, but it was obvious that she was no longer herself. Her facial features were distorted and terrifying, as if she was adapting...
After a while, she showed a strange smile.
The corpse in the black waiter's uniform held his head with his hands, turning it slowly towards the crowd, as if smiling at them.
There were clearly still traces of tears on her face, and she was clearly dead, but she smiled reservedly at everyone, which made their scalps numb.
The woman's original headless body was still standing there, and the ground was covered with warm blood, some dripping down her body, making a ticking sound.
Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't even muster the courage to resist.
Invincible!
Xiao Yintou broke into a cold sweat, and these four words couldn't help but come to her mind. She trembled and said: "I'm sorry, we really don't have money..."
"Rubbish."
The middle-aged man casually pulled out the dagger from his body, played with it for a while, and then quickly threw it to the ground with a look of disgust on his face, not knowing who he was scolding.
After a pause, he thought: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you have other ways..."
"What method?" Everyone was delighted.
If possible, they didn't want to fight against such a weird existence.
"You guys are really stupid..."
The middle-aged man sighed slightly and said in a regretful tone, "Without the money to buy your life, you will naturally have no choice but to leave your life here..."
He waved his hand.
The next second, blood spurted out and scattered in every corner of the carriage. One of the explorers' head fell off in response, looking stunned.
He actually had no power to resist.
The corpse in the white waiter's uniform was quickly thrown onto his old rotten head. He was so excited that he picked up the head on the ground and put it on his neck.
That arrogant look chilled everyone.
"Let me count... seven people, well, just leave three and a half lives as tickets."
While the middle-aged man was talking, another person lost his head.
The atmosphere was extremely terrifying, and everyone looked like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Xiaoyin was still alive at this time, but she was so desperate that she could not speak coherently: "I, I, we..."
"You can leave with half your life left." The middle-aged man glanced at her.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then became ecstatic. Only Xiao Yin trembled and said: "Half life means..."
Others' joy evaporated.
"Oh, you are really the stupidest passengers I have ever taken."
The middle-aged man sighed.
The next second, a blood line suddenly appeared on the waist of an explorer, and then his upper body slipped from his lower body and fell to the ground.
"ah!"
The man seemed to have come to his senses and let out a miserable scream.
"Stop yelling. You can choose to stay in the car half way. The others can leave first." The middle-aged man covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said disgustedly.
Xiaoyin and the other three's minds went blank and they rushed off the train.
The two corpses did not stop them.
In the carriage, the screams continued, but gradually became fainter.
"Save...save me..."
They couldn't bear to turn around and saw that the explorer who had been chopped in half seemed to have not given up hope and kept climbing toward the car door. However, the moment he reached the car door, his eyes dimmed.
The doors closed and the train roared away into the distance.
As everyone was surviving the disaster, their pupils suddenly shrank, and they saw a black stone tablet standing on the top of the train——
"A, Train to the Past."
The large scarlet characters look like they were written in blood.
"Restricted area, this train is actually a restricted area..."
Xiao Yin murmured in disbelief, suddenly realizing that he and others were now in another restricted area.
She turned around suddenly and saw a road made of colored lights gradually spreading, connecting to the entrance of a brand new and eye-catching amusement park.
The rotating Ferris wheel, the speeding roller coaster, the rocking pirate ship, and the rotating merry-go-round...
There was clearly no one in the amusement park, but all the entertainment facilities were open, as if to welcome their arrival.
Xiaoyin swallowed.
Why……
Not only the train, but also Equality Paradise was completely different from what she knew.
