Earth Era

Part 32

Xiaoya, holding a flashlight, sat trembling on the ground. Her ankle throbbed faintly, surrounded by pitch darkness, with the beam of the flashlight sweeping around.

At first, she could still see the figures of Qin Feng and Zhong Yuanjie, but gradually they disappeared, leaving only the beams of two flashlights on her left and right, telling her that the two hadn't gone far.

But after a while, even those two beams of light disappeared... Her heart began to drum, thumping nervously.

In the vast subway platform, she could faintly hear the footsteps of the two from a distance.

"Step... step... step..."

She began to regret staying here. She should have gone with one of them just now, even if she had to hop away.

Now, it's so dark... could there be ghosts here?

Thinking of this, she became even more frightened and tried calling out, "Qin Feng?" but there was no response.

No, she couldn't wait here. It was too damn scary. So she stood up, ready to go find Qin Feng.

At that moment, she suddenly heard footsteps, the footsteps of a third person besides Qin Feng and Zhong Yuanjie! Judging from the sound, the person wasn't very far from her, just behind her to the right!

She whirled around, sweeping the beam of her flashlight towards the source of the sound!

She saw a person, a disheveled man, standing right behind her!

Qin Feng heard her scream and his heart skipped a beat. He hurried back.

In the dim light of the flashlight, he saw Xiaoya fall to the ground in the distance, with a person standing right in front of her, reaching out with a hand!!!

Although it was far away, he could tell that the person was not Zhong Yuanjie, but a stranger.

Qin Feng rushed towards the person, and just as the person's hand was about to touch Xiaoya, he slammed into him, knocking him to the side.

Xiaoya, still in shock, leaned against the reinforced glass barrier, looking at the person in horror.

At this moment, Zhong Yuanjie also arrived, and seeing the person lying on the ground, he looked at Qin Feng and Xiaoya and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Feng, panting heavily, shook his head.

Zhong Yuanjie asked, "Is Xiaoya okay?"

Hearing the question, she finally reacted, shaking her head and saying, "I'm fine."

Zhong Yuanjie looked at the person on the ground again and asked, "Where did this guy come from? Who is he?"

No one answered, obviously, no one knew who he was.

The man struggled to get up from the ground.

Qin Feng and Zhong Yuanjie instinctively stepped back, shielding Xiaoya behind them.

He stood up, rubbed his shoulder, frowned, and said, "I was about to ask who you guys are!"

The two looked at each other, and Zhong Yuanjie asked, "Can he speak?"

Qin Feng remained expressionless, still on guard.

"Of course!" The man said impatiently.

"Then it's easy if he can talk, who are you?" Zhong Yuanjie asked.

"I'm the maintenance worker here." He rubbed his shoulder, obviously the blow from Qin Feng wasn't light, then asked, "Who are you guys? What are you doing here?"
