Chapter 85: Busan Bound?

He arrived at his girlfriend’s side and glanced at the old man, feeling that he wasn’t someone to mess with. Then, he looked at Ye Xuan and Su Mengli.

They were a young couple, probably college students, and they seemed easy to bully.

Thinking this, the middle-aged man took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Ye Xuan. “Young man, you look like a student, right?”

Ye Xuan glanced at him. “What do you want to say?”

“Give me some face. How about we switch seats? I work at the Magic City Technology Company and have some connections. The more friends you have, the more paths you have, and the more enemies you have, the more walls you have, right?”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a business card and placed it on the table. The card read “Bai Zongming, Human Resources Manager of the Magic City Technology Company.”

He looked down at Ye Xuan with a sense of superiority, seemingly confident that Ye Xuan would give up his seat.

Ye Xuan rubbed his forehead impatiently. “Get lost!”

Bai Zongming’s face immediately turned ugly. Not only did Ye Xuan refuse him, but he also didn’t give him any face. The cigarette he had offered was left hanging in the air, neither accepted nor rejected, making the situation awkward.

However, at that moment, an old hand reached out and took the pack of cigarettes.

Both Bai Zongming and his girlfriend were stunned, while the old man who had taken the cigarettes held them in his hand.

He looked triumphant. “I said if you had cigarettes, I would have switched seats with you a long time ago! Move aside, don’t block the way!”

Then, the old man picked up his suitcase and walked towards another carriage, looking quite spirited.

After that, Bai Zongming’s girlfriend pulled him to sit down, rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, and comforted him, “Darling, don’t be angry. Don’t argue with those uncivilized people!”

Upon hearing this, Su Mengli’s expression changed slightly, and then she lightly snapped her fingers with her right hand.

The woman sitting opposite Su Mengli suddenly screamed in pain. She felt like her mouth had been burned by a lighter, and blisters formed on her lips, causing her to panic and cover her mouth.

Bai Zongming quickly asked, “What happened? Are you okay?”

At this moment, Su Mengli coldly said, “Watch your words, be careful what you say. A slip of the tongue may cause disaster.”

Nowadays, awakened individuals were an important part of society, and everyone knew of their existence. Both men and women immediately guessed that Su Mengli was behind this, but they were all ordinary people.

The next step in the plan for the Awakening Spirit Sphere was to promote it to the entire society and achieve universal awakening. However, they hadn’t reached that stage yet, so they didn’t dare to act arrogantly in front of Su Mengli. The two of them immediately became much more obedient.

The high-speed train was moving at a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour. Ye Xuan held Su Mengli’s hand and looked at the scenery outside the window, everything appearing beautiful and peaceful.

However, at that moment, a woman’s scream rang out, “Ah, a rat!”

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli turned their heads to see a woman removing a rat from her leg and throwing it far away.

The rat hit the side of the carriage and fell to the ground, motionless.

Suddenly, another cry sounded, “Oh my god, so many rats!”

Su Mengli immediately stood up and saw a large group of rats appearing from somewhere under the carriage, attacking the people inside the carriage.

These rats were densely packed, covering the floor of the carriage, crowding together and forming a terrifying rat tide. People with musophobia would die on the spot when they saw this.

Su Mengli immediately unleashed her power. A flame phoenix appeared above her head, carrying scorching heat as it burned the rats.

These rats appeared mysteriously, but their strength was ordinary. Faced with Su Mengli’s fire, they couldn’t resist and were instantly turned to ashes.

However, some of the rats broke away from the group and mixed into the crowd, biting and attacking the other passengers’ legs.

Rats were something that few people weren’t afraid of. The carriage was in chaos for a few minutes, and those few rats were finally completely dealt with.

Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why are there rats in the carriage? These rats don’t seem to be mutated.”

Ye Xuan was very familiar with mutated animals. After mutation, these animals would generally increase in size and gain stronger power and speed. Perhaps they would even have some special abilities.

But these rats were completely normal in size, and their speed and strength hadn’t changed. At most, they were bolder than ordinary rats, as ordinary rats would run away when they saw a crowd.

These rats, on the other hand, charged into the crowd fearlessly, as if they had drunk strong liquor and were holding a knife, looking for a cat. Other than that, they had nothing special.

Su Mengli was also puzzled. Just as she was about to say something, another scream rang out.

They saw that the woman who had been bitten on the leg had her eyes turn completely white. She bit into the neck of a nearby middle-aged woman and began devouring her flesh.

The middle-aged woman let out a scream of despair, pushed the woman off her neck, and struggled to stand up. She took a few steps forward before falling to the ground weakly.

Blood quickly seeped out, staining the bottom of the carriage red. The men, women, and children in the carriage were all frightened and screamed in horror. The scene was extremely gruesome.

At the same time, several other people launched attacks on those around them. All of them had been bitten or scratched by rats before. Some were caught off guard and were directly bitten.

Of course, there were also several adults who fought back. They were physically strong and immediately resisted, causing the situation to become chaotic.

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli immediately rushed forward to stop those who were attacking. Ye Xuan noticed that all the attackers were people who had been bitten by rats.

At this moment, their eyes were completely white, without any trace of black, giving them a very eerie appearance.

Although these people were terrifying, their strength and speed were not beyond that of ordinary people. They had simply lost their sanity and became fearless and ferocious.

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli quickly subdued seven or eight infected individuals, but the chaos in the carriage didn’t end so quickly. Everyone was terrified.

“What’s going on? Why are they biting people indiscriminately? Have they turned into zombies? Train to Busan?”

“What do we do now? Can we stop the train? I want to get off. Where are the attendants? Why haven’t they come?”

“Am I going to die here? I need to make a phone call to my family. I need to leave a suicide note…”
