My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

Lu Zhao's face twitched, and he struggled to pull the person off him. "Okay, okay, don't cry. Just do your job well. I know how hard you've worked all these years."

Messiah sobbed and wiped away non-existent tears before getting off her. With a righteous and solemn expression, he patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Captain! I'll be fine on my own!"

"Well, I believe you."

You're fine on your own, but if she's alone, there will be big problems.

Watching Messiah stride confidently into the outer ring subway line, Lu Zhao felt a strange sense of guilt, like he was trying to fool a child.

Sigh, it seems like it's not a good thing if kids are too easy to fool.

Chapter 55 This wave is Cola's MVP

"The carriages in front have all been checked, and there are no problems."

Song Lingge handed the portable radar to Lu Zhao, glanced at the almost empty seat next to her, and chose to sit in a spot that was neither too close nor too far away from her.

Well, it's probably wide enough in the middle to seat ten more messiahs.

Although he knew the other person was taking care of his "memory lapses," Lu Zhao still felt a little awkward.

Looking up at the route map, great, there are still more than thirty stops before I get back to the starting point.

Aside from the brief time she needed to get out of the car to check things, she couldn't possibly not say a word to anyone.

Lu Zhao sighed heavily in his heart, constantly rehearsing a fairly ordinary opening line in his mind. But as everyone knows, it is extremely difficult to take the initiative to start a conversation with someone you barely know.

After mentally preparing himself for a while, Lu Zhao finally dared to stealthily turn his head to look over, just about to speak—

But Song Lingge has disappeared.

She suddenly stood up, a sudden panic gripping her heart. She took a few steps forward, but couldn't find the person who had been traveling with her in the next carriage.

what happened?

From the time Song Lingge sat down until she disappeared, less than two or three minutes had passed. With her current level of attention, it was impossible for her not to notice the movements of the person next to her, let alone not to notice that Song Lingge had disappeared.

Wait!

Is Song Lingge simply missing, or is there something wrong with her?

Lu Zhao gradually accelerated, and eventually started running recklessly through the carriage.

She remembered that when she was checking earlier, there were still some people in the other carriages, even though there were fewer people. But now, even though the subway hadn't stopped, the people in the carriage had disappeared.

Looking at the empty carriage, Lu Zhao subconsciously clenched his fists. He looked up at the route map that had been flashing with location information, only to suddenly realize that every subway entrance sign on the map was now flashing.

Therefore, it is very likely that it is not others who have disappeared, but rather that you yourself have disappeared from their sight without them even realizing it.

Realizing this, she couldn't help but gasp.

The subway train is still running, and it's pitch black outside the window, with faint flashes of electricity.

Lu Zhao, no longer looking anxious, strolled leisurely between the carriages, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings. Soon, he arrived at the control room at the front of the train.

I knocked on the door, but there was no response.

A spark of fire shot out from her hand, enveloping her fist, and she slammed it forward!

The car door was quickly melted open, leaving a large hole.

Without even blinking, she stepped into the cave. Compared to her previous confusion, Lu Zhao seemed unusually calm, quite unlike her usual self.

Frowning at the various complex and sophisticated instruments before him, Lu Zhao clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, sat in the driver's seat, looked up at the road that seemed like a bottomless black hole, and fell silent for a moment.

There was no one in the driver's cab, and the subway had been set to automatic driving. She had no experience with this, so trying to force the subway to stop was like a pipe dream.

How about trying to jump out of the car?

No, the impact of jumping out of the car would be enough to kill her instantly. Even with the white flame, she'd probably be in serious trouble.

She doesn't know why she suddenly entered such a deserted space, or whether someone is manipulating things behind the scenes. If she jumps out of the car rashly and ends up being killed, she could vomit blood and die on the spot without the other party even lifting a finger.

As someone who values ​​her life, Lu Zhao said that this plan was not in line with her strategy of just trying to survive.

What do people in movies, TV shows, or novels usually do when they encounter this situation?

She carefully recalled the dramas she had watched when she was young and finally came to the conclusion that the main characters all loved to cause trouble.

But that's the treatment of the main character. They can smash things around them for no reason and create a passage. But she's not the main character. The game's female protagonist is probably studying somewhere now.

"I'm not the main character, why put me in this situation?" She couldn't help but sigh, leaning back in the driver's seat, feeling her trigeminal nerve throbbing again.

If this continues, she will soon feel hungry and thirsty.

A person without water can only survive for five to seven days. If she stays here for more than three days, she will basically be left to be picked up by someone.

Jumping off the train and getting picked up while still alive, or staying here for a few days and then getting picked up while still alive—neither option sounds pleasant.

Just as she was in despair, a light suddenly appeared before her eyes.

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the light in the passageway.

That looks like... a platform?

For some reason, the subway gradually slowed down and stopped precisely at the platform. Lu Zhao quickly got up and got out of the carriage, looking at the empty platform in front of him with a bit of confusion.

The electronic sign above her head only displayed a bunch of gibberish. She stood there for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she had to ignore it for the time being and headed towards the elevator at the exit based on her memory.

I just don't know why, no matter whether she goes up or down, she always returns to the same floor.

Has she not yet stepped out of that deserted space?

Her mood plummeted again. She sighed and walked to a vending machine to buy a drink, only to find that her phone couldn't connect to the internet at all.

Ugh.

With a silent sigh, she could only imitate a middle school girl with superpowers who wore super shorts under her skirt in an anime, and launched a spinning kick. Electronic music started playing, and the vending machine began to spit out various drinks.

"Hey, that's enough!"

Lu Zhao hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and seeing a bottle of cola about to roll into the platform, he quickly bent down to chase after it. But after only a few steps, he saw the cola being stopped by a pair of white sneakers that suddenly appeared.

There's someone here!

She looked up along the other person's straight, long legs and soon came into view a face that was completely unfamiliar.

"You are..." she began involuntarily, as if something in her heart was drawing her to speak to the other person.

The man didn't answer; he simply picked up the Coke from the ground, put it in her arms, and walked away.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Who are you?! Why are you here?!"

Lu Zhao hurriedly tried to chase after him, but suddenly felt a sensation of weightlessness as his body was tilted upwards—

When she opened her eyes, she realized she was sitting on the subway, with Song Lingge still sitting next to her, and he still wasn't looking at her.

Was what just happened all a dream?

She straightened up, but the Coke in her arms rolled to the ground.

Chapter Fifty-Six: Awakening

Watching the bottle of cola roll across the floor and finally stop under the seat on the other side, Lu Zhao held her breath. It was as if everything in front of her had stopped, and only the sound of her heartbeat reminded her that time was still flowing.

"Huh? Where did this Coke come from?"

Song Lingge noticed the commotion and was about to pick up the Coke bottle when Lu Zhao shouted, "Don't move!"

She froze, then straightened up, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression. "Captain?"

Lu Zhao immediately snapped out of his daze, his face flushed slightly from lack of oxygen, and began to breathe heavily, his chest heaving and rising and falling with each breath.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Song Lingge stepped forward with some concern and reached out to touch her shoulder—a very safe position that wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable.

However, Lu Zhao was in no mood to think about that right now. His clear black and white eyes were fixed on the bottle of cola on the ground, and only one thought was echoing in his mind.

This shouldn't be the case.

So which one should it be?

With a loud bang, her mind went blank, her temples throbbed, and she felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if the world had turned upside down.

What did the person who handed her the Coke look like?

She tried hard to remember, but no matter what she did, she couldn't recall the woman's face.

Was what just happened real, or an illusion?

If it's true, why was Song Lingge completely unaware? If it's false, where did this bottle of cola come from?

"Captain! Captain!"

In a daze, she saw Song Lingge anxiously calling her name, but she couldn't hear any of the other person's voice. Everything around her suddenly became extremely quiet, with only the rumbling sound of blood rushing through her body, as if it were about to burst her eardrums.

Who is that woman?

With only this one thought in her mind, she desperately reached out, trying to grab Song Lingge, who was gradually turning into the woman in her dream, but she could only weakly wave her hand a few times in the air before slumping down.

……

Lu Zhao had a dream in which she kept running through the subway station, but no matter how she ran, she could only spin around in circles, staring blankly at the vending machine that was flashing a faint light.

She reached for the drink inside, but just as she was halfway there, a woman whose face she couldn't see would appear, hand her a bottle of cola, and then whisper the same sentence repeatedly in her ear, like a demon:

"Lu Zhao, why don't you remember me?"

"what!"

She jolted awake, her vision not yet fully restored, when she vaguely saw a face seemingly moving in front of her. Instinctively, she slapped it away.

A crisp slap was heard mixed with a loud shout. Lu Zhao blinked uncomfortably, and his blurry vision finally cleared.

Then she looked at the person she had invested in, who had fallen to the ground with a thud, covering his face with his left hand, looking at her with teary eyes, full of grievance: "Captain! I was so kind as to help you up, and you still hit me!"

Upon seeing this clown, Lu Zhao felt his trigeminal nerve, which had finally begun to recover, start hurting again.

"Captain, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?" Song Lingge gently helped her up, and Lu Zhao then realized that she was still lying on a seat outside the subway platform.

Without anyone to help him, Messiah could only pat his bottom and get up on his own, looking aggrieved. He deliberately placed his hand on his left cheek and said, "Captain, you hurt me so badly, not on my face, but on my heart!"

Lu Zhao's lips twitched. Although he really wanted to complain about this guy's pretentious tone, he could only sigh and lean slightly towards her, remembering that he had made the first move: "Sorry, I didn't see clearly just now and made the first move. Is your face alright?"

Messiah's eyes widened in surprise, her lips slightly parted in a gesture of flattery. "You...you really are the captain, and you haven't been possessed by someone else, have you?"
