The large characters "Zoo Station" on the platform wall look old and in disrepair, and the background light is a bit dim, which looks out of place with the modern platform.

The decoration style of this platform is very new, but a large area of ​​the wall has peeling paint. Si Ling was a little frightened, and her steps gradually slowed down unconsciously.

"Did you leave something behind? Shall I go back with you to get it?" Fang Muzhi looked back at Si Ling's eyes, his eyes were clear and open, looking as harmless and sincere as his face.

Only Si Ling knew that in just a few hundred meters, no matter how fast or slow she walked, Fang Muzhi would always walk right beside her. She really wondered if this person had eyes on his back.

Seeing that Si Ling didn't speak, Fang Muzhi paused and continued: "Did you leave your schoolbag in the car?"

"Let's continue walking together. There is nothing valuable in the bag, only a white coat." Siling thought he responded with a flawless smile, "I don't think it's safe here, so it's better not to get separated."

"Um."

At this time, the old Taoist priest who was leading the group had wind in his feet and without squinting, he walked straight through the empty platform and towards the escalator.

"Master! Master, please wait for me..." Zhou Xian'an once again ignited his enthusiasm for chatting up, but with a different partner. The old Taoist priest smiled and did not interrupt. He walked patiently while listening to Zhou Xian'an's words. West.

Jiang Yu stopped arguing with Zhou Xian'an since she stepped out of the carriage. The wooden sword was dragged on the ground by her, making a slapping sound.

"We're here! Have you slept at the station again?" At the end of the escalator, the three people seemed to have been waiting for a long time. They waved and shouted to the old Taoist priest from a distance, like old friends who had known each other for many years.

As he got closer, Siling realized that the three people were much younger than the old Taoist priest. The four of them were walking together arm in arm, as if a dormitory supervisor had infiltrated among the students skipping classes and surfing the Internet.

"Why did I sleep past the station? Did any of your eyes see it?! That train ghost just now—" the old Taoist priest suddenly paused, and after two or three seconds, he sneezed loudly, He continued: "There was something wrong with that broken car, and I saved a few children." He pointed at the Siling people who were following behind him.

As if what the old Taoist priest just told was a joke, or there was something funny that outsiders didn't know, the four people laughed at the same time, "Okay, let them follow first. After handling the things here, I will give them a ride. This Have you called home in the middle of the night? It's too far from the city. I'll drive you there early tomorrow morning."

Si Ling glanced at Fang Muzhi and said nothing. Yuhuayuan is on the east side of Binshi and can be considered a business district. The next stop was to the outer suburbs. Several people felt a little bit in their hearts and did not answer the conversation.

Sure enough, when I got out of the subway entrance, I saw a deserted area. There were not even street lights. There was an old-fashioned taxi parked on the national highway not far away. It was as earthy as the Taoist priest's robe. I don't know where they came from. Driven here from a remote place.

Jiang Yu kept crossing her arms, obviously very wary of these new people. She took out her mobile phone and walked around in the crowd, "Don't think about it, I can't even watch TikTok. Don't you think this place is even weirder?" Really? I want to go back to the subway station." When she said this, she completely avoided Zhou Xian'an's eyes, as if she had never been with him.

"We are all the fire rescue team in Bin City. This is my ID." The young man in blue clothes who just spoke took the initiative to take out a black leather ID. It was clearly printed on it - National Comprehensive Fire Rescue

Team, cadre certificate words.

The moment she saw the certificate, Si Ling felt a little safer, "Is there a fire somewhere?" The surrounding scenery was unobstructed, with a few trees standing sparsely on the grassy ground, and the horizon could be seen at a glance. Don't explain.

It was a fire and there was not even a trace of smoke, but she asked innocently.

"It's not a fire, it's a missing person rescue. It's a special incident, so I'm not wearing a uniform. Don't worry and follow us. I'll go to jail if you lie to people about such a serious matter. I'll tell you in detail on the way, it's really cold here."

Another dark-skinned young man rubbed his hands, spoke in a dialect, and said with a trembling smile: "My name is Cheng Ping, I'm twenty-two years old. I guess I'm about the same age as you, right? I'm experienced!"

The tense atmosphere melted away in Cheng Ping's Northeastern dialect. Si Ling and others also exchanged names. The Taoist priest was named Lu Mang, the strong man in blue was named Jiang Qingyu, and the popular one was named Zhang Jiaxing.

Naturally, eight people could not squeeze into one car, so Taoist Lu suggested that the five of them should leave first and come back later to pick up the remaining three.

"Okay, Master. I feel much safer following you." Zhou Xian'an followed Taoist Lu and jumped into the car. He stuck his head and said to himself: "It's so cold here. It looks like it's haunted." Jiang Yu snorted coldly.

, his expression was reluctant, but he kept walking and followed Zhou Xianan closely.

Si Ling didn't move, and Fang Muzhi naturally didn't get in the car either. "I'll stay too, but you three should hurry up. Otherwise I'll freeze to death if I come back." Cheng Ping took the initiative to stay, and Si Ling's nerves were tense all the time.

She began to relax. She suddenly had an idea. If she suddenly jumped into the car, how would Fang Muzhi catch up? But just thinking about it, she stamped her feet and warned herself that it was better to be honest in the middle of the night.

"Brother, can you tell me about your rescue mission?" Si Ling skipped several levels and graduated from college. However, she is actually not very old. On the surface, she looks like a little girl who is inexperienced in the world.

In fact, she is also very good at taking advantage of her appearance.

Cheng Ping's dialect was very friendly, "I told you not to be afraid, this mission is really evil." He said he was afraid that Sling would be scared, but in fact he started telling stories non-stop, "You know

The Binshi Zoo has been open for several years, but no one comes here?"

"Let's talk at the subway entrance to avoid the wind." Fang Muzhi interrupted Si Ling's story and gave him a good suggestion. Si Ling quietly glanced at the dog-skin plaster several times and sat down on the steps calmly.

"New urban planning and construction often choose remote and cheap land, but soon the surrounding supporting business districts will be operational. Land prices will also rise with the tide. Therefore, when the zoo first confirmed its location, the supporting subway station was built.

However, the zoo has not attracted a large number of tourists like amusement parks and other scenic spots. There are rumors among real estate developers that the feng shui of this land is not good. For a while, most investors have adopted a conservative wait-and-see attitude. However, there are also

A little more radical." Cheng Ping said seriously, licked his lips, and pointed to a few unfinished buildings to the west, "It was originally intended to be a low-end community to provide housing for nearby employees. For some unknown reason, the construction has not gone smoothly since it started.

.It hasn’t been built intermittently for several years, and it’s still unfinished.”

Si Ling looked in the direction Cheng Ping said. There were only two buildings with several floors in the moonlight. If Cheng Ping hadn't pointed them out to her, it would have been almost difficult to notice. Not to mention the results of several years, it looked like they had just been built.

It's been a few months since we started working. But since we were listening to stories, we couldn't take things too seriously. She nodded and led Cheng Ping to continue, "Then, those employees who work nearby are really miserable."

"It's not a good situation. However, there was a village here that was demolished before. Many original villagers were unwilling to respond, and it was delayed for a while. Many employees rented houses in the village. Now the villagers are even more reluctant to leave.

Let's go there and stay in a while. Just have a few sips to warm up."

Listening to Cheng Ping's story getting more and more off-kilter, Si Ling raised her chin and asked, "That's not bad. But your story is not scary at all. Little brother is fooling me."
