Even though one hour feels very long to these disaster victims.
At least it gives them a concrete goal.
Everyone took out their phones, diligently calculating the time, while following Gu Ji's command to move towards the front of the train.
Since the train cars were full, and car no. 2 was cleared as a centralized point for the injured, five more cars had to be vacated for the disaster victims, making the train interior suddenly crowded.
But the most deadly issue was the water leaking into the compartments.
Even though Gu Ji had the train staff close the corridor doors of compartment 55, the train was not a sealed space and could not have perfect airtightness.
Floodwater still seeped in through the door cracks, the previously repaired broken windows, and the bathroom vents.
Silently, the water level was rising, first in compartment 54, quickly reaching from chest to neck height.
Gu Ji was at a loss for solutions.
