Rebellious Game C26.1

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chp26. part1

The Wounded and the Maimed

Just minutes ago, Kyle and his family of three were envisioning a wonderful vacation.

Suddenly, a deafening crash echoed through the train. A metal plate had impaled the armrest between his wife and child’s seats, piercing straight through the cabin floor.

Terrified, Kyle rushed to find the conductor.

The other passengers in the first carriage were also startled, but seeing the train continue to run smoothly, they paid it no further mind.

Meanwhile, Kyle arrived at the third carriage, his emotions running high as he demanded the conductor stop the train immediately.

The conductor looked troubled. “Railway company regulations state that the emergency brake must only be pulled after the situation has been properly assessed.”

Kyle took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

His rational mind told him the regulations were correct. If the train stopped for any passenger’s whim, the entire railway system would descend into chaos.

Moreover, an abrupt stop could lead to a rear-end collision with the train behind them. If this was merely a minor incident, stopping the train could cause a much more severe accident, resulting in significant casualties.

At this thought, Kyle gave up arguing and simply urged the conductor to follow him and inspect the situation.

As they were scuffling, Yun Xin seemed to sense something and turned her head, only to see this scene.

It was also at this moment that she noticed many passengers in the third carriage had death countdowns appearing on their bodies.

“Estimated time to death: 2 minutes 25 seconds.”

“Estimated time to death: 2 minutes 26 seconds.”

“Estimated time to death: 2 minutes 23 seconds.”

With time running out, Yun Xin didn’t have a moment to spare. She rushed to the fourth and fifth carriages to check.

The result was shocking: over 90% of the passengers in the fourth and fifth carriages also had countdowns. Their times of death were only 3 to 5 seconds apart from those in the third carriage, and they were now counting down second by second.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Yun Xin sprinted to the first carriage and grabbed the conductor. “Stop the train immediately!”

The conductor refused. “The train will not stop until we have a clear understanding of the situation.”

With only a little over a minute left, there was simply no time to convince the conductor.

Just then, the train began to shake violently.

Yun Xin seized the opportunity to press her advantage. “The train’s shaking so hard it’s about to fall apart, and you’re telling me it’s fine? Have I never ridden a train before? This shaking is clearly abnormal. Stop the train, now!”

She adopted a fierce, unyielding persona, attempting to force the conductor to halt.

However, the conductor remained unmoved.

Lin Qin poked his head out from the junction between the first and second carriages. “What’s going on? Why are you all running back and forth between carriages? You’re keeping yourselves busy, aren’t you?”

There was no more time.

They had to save whoever they could.

Yun Xin deliberately said, “I have a bad feeling. I want to stay in the first carriage for a while. Hurry up and get over here.”

She had just inspected carriages one through five and was certain the first carriage was the safest. None of the passengers inside were in mortal danger. In the other carriages, casualties were inevitable to some extent.

Even the conductor, who had initially been marked with a death timer and shrouded in black mist, saw the mist fade and his countdown vanish after being pulled into the first carriage.

Hearing Yun Xin’s warning, the others felt their scalps tingle. One by one, they hurried toward the first carriage.

Lin Qin grumbled as he walked, “How reliable is your intuition, really? Everything was fine a moment ago. Why has it suddenly turned bad?”

The first and third carriages weren’t far apart. Why was it safe in the first, but not in the third?

They had bought tickets for the third carriage! Moving to the first meant they’d have to stand…

“Watch out!” In a flash, Lu Lei shoved the others into the carriage. He didn’t have time to escape himself and was left behind in the derailed second carriage.

Lin Qin watched in horror as the second carriage tore off the tracks and crashed into the woods. A deafening roar echoed from the carriages behind, sending a chill down his spine.

The first carriage kept moving forward, finally grinding to a halt

Lin Qin peered through the window. Several carriages had collided, their bodies crumpled together. Others were pinned beneath the collapsed concrete bridge, the structure and the train both destroyed.

A cursory glance was all it took to see passengers lying in pools of blood amidst the wreckage.

Lin Qin clamped a hand over his mouth, his stomach churning.

The secretary stared, dumbfounded. “If we’d stayed in the third carriage… if we hadn’t followed…”

Brother Zhao finally showed a glimmer of conscience, remembering Lu Lei, who had pushed them into the first carriage. “Call the police and an ambulance first, then go to the second carriage to find Lu Lei. It was thanks to his push just now, but I don’t know how he is doing now.”

“Right, Lu Lei!” Lin Qin wanted to go find him, but his stomach was churning, and he couldn’t move.

“I’ve already called the police. They’ll be here soon,” Yun Xin said, ending the call and calming everyone down.

Not far away, Kyle, terrified and furious, roared at the train conductor, “Didn’t I tell you we had to stop the train? If you’d just listened to me, this wouldn’t have happened!”

The conductor stood there, completely stunned by the scene before him.

A plane crash in the morning, a train derailment at noon—Lin Qin had endured too much this day.

When the disaster struck the plane earlier, passengers had been sucked straight out of the cabin. He hadn’t seen the bodies. But when the train derailed, Lin Qin had glanced out the window. The horrific scene was something he might never forget for the rest of his life.

The secretary’s face turned ashen as she reconsidered whether she should ever go on business trips with her boss again.

After all, no matter how generous the bonus was, you needed to be alive to spend it.
