Chapter 90: The Copycat Phone is Impressive

Afterwards, a few people helped tidy up the seats in the carriage and Su Mengli carried Ye Xuan to his seat.

At that moment, a passenger suddenly exclaimed, “Oh no! All the carriages are in trouble now. Does that mean the train conductor is also in danger? How are we going to stop the train?”

“Yes, the conductor is also in trouble. This is a high-speed train after all, it was bound to have problems sooner or later!”

“Please, you two, you have to help us! We’re all in the same boat!”

Su Mengli furrowed her brows upon hearing this. “Ye Xuan, what should we do now?”

Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “It’s not difficult. Mengli, go and disconnect the connection between our carriage and carriage number nine. Also, inform Dean Lin about the current situation of the train so that the corresponding train stations can prepare in advance and minimize casualties.”

Su Mengli agreed and told Ye Xuan to rest while she headed towards carriage number nine. Then, her palm emitted a scorching flame.

With her Red Lotus Fire, she easily burned away the connections between carriage number nine and ten in just a few seconds.

Immediately, the entire carriage shook violently and the speed gradually decreased.

Su Mengli returned to her seat and frowned. “Ye Xuan, my phone has no signal. What should we do now?”

Although the people in the carriage were safe for now, the carriage would eventually come to a stop due to inertia.

But the situation in carriage number nine was still dangerous. If they couldn’t inform Lin Xu in time, there might be more casualties.

At that moment, an old man approached them with his phone in hand. “Miss, you can use my phone. It has a signal. I just made a call to my daughter-in-law!”

Su Mengli glanced at the phone the old man was holding. It was a domestically-made copycat phone called Zhonghua Yan.

The phone had a back cover that looked like a cigarette box, golden buttons on the front, and a small screen. It was easy for elderly people to see the numbers clearly.

At this moment, not only Su Mengli’s phone, but also Ye Xuan’s phone and most of the other people’s phones in the carriage had no signal.

However, this old man’s Zhonghua Yan phone had a full signal. It was quite impressive. Moreover, this copycat phone could also light cigarettes, making it quite practical.

Su Mengli took the phone and said, “Thank you, sir.”

She then used the phone to call Lin Xu. After a moment, Lin Xu’s voice came through, “Hello, who is this?”

Su Mengli was startled. This copycat phone was really something. She thought it was her own phone and put it to her ear without realizing it.

As a result, the voice was even louder than when she had put her phone on speaker, causing her head to buzz. She quickly moved the phone away and explained the situation to Lin Xu.

Then, Lin Xu’s loudspeaker-like voice came through, “Alright, I understand. I’ll have the train station prepare in advance. You and Ye Xuan should focus on your own safety. You need to understand your own potential and talents. Saving people is important, but your own safety is even more important. If necessary, you can sacrifice some ordinary people for your own safety. Because once you grow up, you will be able to save thousands or even billions of people. So, for the sake of yourselves and the country, preserving your lives is more important than anything else.”

Su Mengli felt that Lin Xu’s words sounded like a speech. His words echoed throughout the entire carriage, and everyone could hear them clearly. It felt a bit strange.

After all, in this carriage, except for Su Mengli and Ye Xuan, everyone else was what Lin Xu referred to as ordinary people who could be sacrificed if necessary.

Therefore, Su Mengli quickly said, “Dean Lin, I understand what you’re saying. Let’s leave it at that for now.”

She immediately hung up the phone and returned the bulky Zhonghua phone to the old man.

The old man took the phone and said, “Young lady, no need to apologize. What Dean Lin said is true. You are the hope of humanity. How many people died on this train just now? Probably over a thousand, right? Without you, we would all be dead. In the future, you will be able to save even more people. Your life is indeed more precious than ours!”

The old man’s words made Su Mengli feel a little better, but most of the people on the train were not as happy.

After all, in the eyes of others, their lives were just those of ordinary people who could be abandoned at any time. How could they be happy?

At this moment, the high-speed train lost its forward momentum and gradually came to a stop after seven or eight minutes.

Su Mengli helped Ye Xuan off the train, and the others also got off one by one.

The surroundings were desolate, with nothing in sight. Carriages ten to sixteen were also in a mess.

On the window glass, there were splatters of blood, white brain matter, and scattered limbs, like a scene from hell.

Su Mengli sighed as she looked at this scene. “Is this the price of the rebirth of spiritual energy? If possible, I would rather continue to be an ordinary person.”

Upon hearing Su Mengli’s words, Ye Xuan held her hand and said, “Don’t sigh. This is not a mistake in your talent, but the hope of humanity.”

Su Mengli was a kind-hearted person. Before the rebirth of spiritual energy, she was an ordinary person who was often bullied.

But after the rebirth of spiritual energy, she awakened an SSS-class talent and gained the attention of everyone. She became a prodigy. It could be said that the rebirth of spiritual energy changed her destiny, and she was once very happy about it.

However, seeing what happened today, she would rather her destiny hadn’t changed, and the spiritual energy hadn’t revived. That way, although she might not have the current glory, at least not so many people would have died.

At this moment, Ye Xuan looked at Su Mengli, feeling a similar complexity in his heart.

If the spiritual energy hadn’t revived, Su Mengli would always be that ordinary Su Mengli. In that case, would he, who was reborn, try his best to help her, like a loyal dog, to gain her favor?

The answer was clear in Ye Xuan’s heart. Indeed, compared to Mengli, he was just an ordinary person who couldn’t be so noble.
