Chapter 539 The Demise of Humanity!
Attention passengers—
"This train only goes as far as Mong Kok East Station, where the military has already completed its deployment."
"Prepare to clear the train."
"Once the train arrives at the station, all passengers are requested to disembark."
Everyone's hearts seemed to be gripped in an instant, the announcement echoing throughout the theater, the tense atmosphere following them everywhere.
As the train pulled into the station, everyone inside rushed to the windows.
Their gazes fell on the window, carrying a hint of anxiety and fear, yet also a subtle hint of anticipation.
Until the train came to a smooth stop on the road.
The surroundings were quiet, and everyone felt a little flustered.
"Oh no, this music sounds like it's about to cause trouble."
"I'm starting to get scared. It's safer in the car than outside. Could the whole city be surrounded by zombies?"
The people around him were chattering amongst themselves, while Mu Ran's gaze fell on the big screen.
This music is clearly a harbinger of impending danger.
Everyone stared intently at what was in front of them, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
Cen Yongkang, holding a baseball bat, stood with his girlfriend Wu Tianmin as the elevator slowly ascended.
Everyone left the train; Mong Kok East Station was now the safest place they could find.
"That's the main square over there. Just follow them."
"I want to go with you."
“I heard you on the phone just now. You and she have other plans.”
"Everyone else will be quarantined."
Cheng Long appeared before everyone with disheveled hair and a timid, cowering appearance that was chilling to behold.
His words at that moment clearly made Zhao Jinmai frown.
"That's not how it is, Xiu."
"I'm going to tell other people!"
"Xiu, you don't need to tell them that we can't take care of anyone else right now, we can only pray for our own good fortune."
Bell grabbed Zhao Jinmai, who was standing in front of him, his expression quite serious.
Mu Ran scribbled notes in his notebook, sensing Chen Jin's true intention in making this film.
human nature.
The loss of humanity.
When faced with extreme circumstances, a person's actions are both empathetic and incomprehensible to others.
Bell is right; at this moment, they can't afford to worry about anyone else.
Self-preservation is the most important thing.
Mu Ran paused, his gaze falling on the large screen directly in front of him.
It's a simple clip, yet it conveys everyone's struggle with human nature.
“Dad, you only think about yourself, that’s why Mom left you.”
Zhao Jinmai's tears streamed down her face, prompting Xiaoya, who was standing nearby, to wipe away her own tears.
She has always been easily moved, and when faced with such touching moments, she was completely unable to control her emotions.
"Killing the Holy Mother first in the apocalypse is the right thing to do. I really want to slap this little girl."
"At a time like this, who cares about anyone else?"
People started shouting behind me, but no one echoed them.
To be precise, they haven't experienced this scene or situation in the movie yet, so they naturally can't understand everyone's feelings.
If you think about it carefully...
In such a life-or-death situation, with one's own life hanging by a thread, there's no time to care about others.
Compared to Mu Ran, he really had no way to care about the others in this situation.
Chen Jin, with Wan Qian in his arms, slowly walked down the elevator. Just as he was gazing into the distance, his expression suddenly became somewhat solemn.
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the warning sign in the corner, which was already stained with blood.
The elevator descends slowly.
There were many more people in military uniforms in the distance, their backs to the elevator, their hoarse voices reaching my ears.
"I rely on-"
"These have all turned into zombies."
A gasp suddenly rang out, and the entire screening room became somewhat noisy for a moment.
next second.
As if hearing the sounds behind them, the zombies under the elevator swarmed towards where Chen Jin and the others were.
Ah!
Screams came and went.
Everyone was clearly shocked by what they saw.
Chen Jin lifted Wan Qian up and placed her on the nearby stairs.
"Run!"
The zombies had gone berserk and began attacking everyone indiscriminately.
"Wow, this kind of scene looks so awesome."
Everyone frantically ran back to where they were standing. Mu Ran's first thought was how many extras they would need.
Although the production cost was not high, the production and scenes of the entire film were absolutely unique.
have to say.
Chen Jin places great emphasis on the quality of her work.
Just then, the camera switched back to Bale's side.
Cheng Long had already run quickly toward the soldiers, his staggering steps making everyone present burst into laughter.
Just as everyone was enjoying a moment of joy, a zombie rushed over and tackled the blood-covered man to the ground.
Bell stopped in place.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Jinmai behind him, and in the nick of time, he quickly ran towards his daughter.
Even when they were still some distance apart, a zombie had already rushed towards Zhao Jinmai.
This made Xiaoya immediately cover her eyes.
She dared not continue watching the scene; the bloodthirsty scenes of the zombies tearing each other apart made her feel physically uncomfortable.
Bell watched helplessly as the zombie lunged at Zhao Jinmai, its mouth agape, clearly on the verge of death.
boom!
Chen Jin's appearance stunned everyone.
"It still has to be our Brother Jin, one punch and a zombie is gone."
"Brother Jin is so handsome."
"If it were me, my legs would probably be too weak to run."
Xiaoya patted her chest; she had been so frightened that she was completely disoriented.
The moment she noticed that Zhao Jinmai had been rescued, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The situation did not improve at all. Countless zombie hordes began to rush towards their location, and Bell was tackled to the ground by one of them.
He could see the zombie's blood dripping onto his face, its gaping maw seemingly about to bite his neck.
He casually picked up the book beside him and stuffed it directly into the zombie's mouth.
only.
This did not delay its attack.
"Don't be afraid, everyone."
"Bell has the protagonist's halo, he definitely won't die."
The words of those present made everyone chuckle. Cheng Long staggered over and then covered the zombie's head with a sack.
This allowed Bell to regain his freedom in a short period of time.
The scene before them caused everyone to gasp in surprise.
It's worth noting that Bale didn't show any humanity when he faced a life-or-death decision.
As for the homeless man played by Jackie Chan, even when faced with such a critical situation, he still did not show any signs of giving up.
"Come here quickly!"
Chen Jin's loud shout interrupted Bell's thoughts, and he quickly got up and ran towards the door.
That was the road they came from.
As for now, we can only return the way we came.
The moment he ran past, more and more zombies quickly surrounded him. The group blocked the doorway, trying their best to lock it.
"what--"
……
Villa area.
Zhu Yanmanz yawned. She woke up unusually early today, perhaps because of the official release of "Hong Kong Trip" and she was eager to know the results as soon as possible.
Chen Jin reached out and pulled the person beside the bed into her arms.
The two of them snuggled together, giving off the vibe of an old married couple.
Zhu Yanmanz picked up her phone without hesitation; she couldn't wait to see the current reviews of "Hong Kong Trip".
To be precise, the first part of the festival should not be over yet.
This wait is undoubtedly anxious.
"You said."
What kind of success will "A Trip to Hong Kong" achieve?
Zhu Yanmanz crossed her legs and looked at Chen Jin with anticipation.
The latter buried his head in the crook of Zhu Yanmanz's neck, and the warm breath he exhaled made the person in front of him subconsciously flinch away.
"Well--"
For Chen Jin, with the pre-sale results supporting her, the box office on the first day is bound to be pretty good.
With the addition of Bale and Jackie Chan, Chen Jin believed it was already a victory.
"It should be good."
Su Wanyu had already prepared breakfast, and seeing that the two children had not come downstairs, she was in no hurry to urge them.
Zhu Yanmanzi has been filming all this time, living a very routine life.
She saw it all and felt a pang of heartache, but aside from helping Zhu Yanmanzi recover, there seemed to be nothing else she could do to help.
"Let's go downstairs for breakfast."
"We should be able to know the results of the first match soon."
Zhu Yanmanzi pulled Chen Jin up, and the two of them finally had a moment of leisure.
Chen Jin has been busy with the promotion of "Hong Kong Trip" for a while, while Zhu Yanmanzi has been filming "My Old Classmate". Fortunately, she has a short vacation.
As for now.
Screams echoed throughout the screening room of the Imperial Capital Cinema.
Especially in this rather chilly environment, the air conditioning in the screening room made everyone shiver.
They felt as if they were actually there.
It felt like the zombies were about to rush out and fight them at any moment.
"How long are we going to wait? We have to go!"
"No, my friend hasn't gotten on the bus yet."
"Everyone on the bus needs to live, don't they?"
Faced with the rebukes from these government officials, Wu Tianmin's face was streaked with tears mixed with blood.
Her brows furrowed completely, and her expression clearly held a hint of pleading.
"Train conductor, we can depart now."
As for Chen Jin and Bell's side.
After closing the glass door in front of him, the zombies began to violently collide with it. Seeing that the glass was cracking, Chen Jin couldn't help but let go of it.
"Hurry! Get out of here!"
At his command, Bell and Cen Yongkang quickly followed behind.
The next second, the glass door couldn't bear the weight and shattered, and countless zombies followed behind them.
The train slowly pulled away.
All the car doors had been closed, and Chen Jin and the others ran frantically, with thousands of zombies behind them.
Cen Yongkang and Bell were the first to jump onto the train.
This time, Bell extended a helping hand to Chen Jin.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. Bell had clearly been subtly influenced; when he first boarded the train, he didn't care about anyone's life or death.
Having gone through all of this, his selfishness seems to have been erased.
Instead, it is selfless dedication.
Before this, he was clearly a sophisticated egoist.
But his daughter's innocence, the sacrifices of others, and the trust of his companions gradually awakened his selflessness.
The fact that the person he had once treated coldly was able to lend a helping hand when his daughter was almost attacked by zombies was enough to shake his self-centered mentality.
Chen Jin slowly ran away into the distance.
Bell's expression showed a hint of confusion.
"Quickly open!"
The next second, Chen Jin swung the baseball bat and riot shield in her hand.
He knocked the zombie behind Bell to the ground.
The zombies on both sides had completely gathered together, and at this moment, Bell's hand had already grabbed Chen Jin's arm.
This time he did not hesitate at all.
The two then collapsed heavily inside the carriage.
"Our Brother Jin is so reassuring! He just threw a left hook and a right hook."
"Chasing a moving train? I'm about to cry from Jin-ge's performance."
so far.
Although everyone knew that Bale was the male lead, they were still shocked by Chen Jin's strength, so much so that they had no way to pursue the others.
Wan Qian leaned against the doorway, her face showing a hint of worry.
She quickly grabbed her phone from her bag, ready to call Chen Jin.
But her movements were stopped by the homeless man in front of her, and she saw Cheng Long shake his head at her.
This left Wan Qian completely puzzled.
Following Cheng Long's gaze, she then saw another carriage filled with zombies.
They were aimlessly searching for their target.
The four people in the car fell silent instantly.
One wrong step and one wrong step after another.
If they had made one wrong move, the consequences would have been predictable.
Wan Qian slowly walked in that direction. She noticed the toilet in front of her. As long as she went in and locked the door, she could ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Wan Qian waved.
Zhao Jinmai, Cheng Long, and the other two had already entered the restroom.
But at this moment——
Something unexpected happened.
One of the zombies noticed the commotion and spoke in a hoarse voice, instantly attracting the attention of the other zombies in the carriage.
Before the door was even fully closed, zombies had already begun rushing inside.
This train can be said to have carried too much despair.
The people present dared not watch any longer; they had no idea what the outcome would be, just as they did not know what Wan Qian and the others would encounter.
"Attention passengers."
"For your safety, we will not make any stops along the way."
"Heading all the way to the mainland."
Upon hearing the train conductor's words, the government personnel nearby quickly snatched the communicator from the attendant's hand.
"Train conductor, can you hear me? Have you made contact with the mainland yet?"
There was a moment's hesitation on the other end of the communicator when questioned.
No! Not yet.
"With the signal cut off, we have no way to make accurate contact with Hong Kong or the mainland."
"Go full speed ahead, or we won't be able to get into the mainland."
He casually tossed the communicator to the flight attendant, while everyone else present was already gripped by extreme panic.
No one said another word.
They didn't know whether death or hope awaited them.
