Chapter 903: Chapter 920: Something’s Not Right [2 Updates]
Hearing Neil’s words, Ye Feng and the others fell silent. It seemed that every person from Country D was very confident in their nation. As for high-speed rail, Dragon Country had long been one of the most developed countries in the world.
And now Country D’s high-speed rail had just been built. Of course, Ye Feng wouldn’t say that aloud, because it would serve no purpose, as Neil simply wouldn’t believe it.
For these people from Country D, even if they saw with their own eyes the strength of Dragon Country and visited its major first-tier cities as well as new first-tier cities, only then would they realize the gap between Dragon Country and Country D.
Otherwise, for these people from Country D who have never visited Dragon Country, they think it is a very poor, very backward country, and they look down on anything from Dragon Country.
After a short while, Ye Feng and the others arrived at the high-speed rail station, where Neil bought first-class tickets for them.
Then they set off towards the high-speed rail. As soon as they entered the first-class carriage, Ye Feng noticed that indeed, the first-class in Country D’s high-speed rail was quite luxurious. The seats and space were very good, somewhat better than those in Dragon Country. However, what puzzled Ye Feng and the others was that from the moment they boarded the high-speed rail carriage, they hadn’t seen anyone else at all.
Outside the high-speed rail, Ali watched Ye Feng and the others enter the train carriage and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, Ali dialed a number and asked, "The target has boarded the carriage. Are your assassins ready?"
After receiving a confirmed answer from the other end of the conversation, a smile appeared at the corner of Ali’s mouth.
Shortly after, the high-speed rail started, and Ye Feng and the others realized that from boarding until the high-speed rail started, no passengers had boarded the carriage, which made them feel very strange.
Ye Feng asked curiously, "Neil, why isn’t there a single passenger on your high-speed rail?"
Neil replied, "Aren’t you guys the passengers? Besides, not just anyone takes the high-speed rail; this is first-class, so naturally, it’s less crowded. It’s also a weekday, so it’s normal for there to be no one."
After hearing Neil’s words, Ye Feng and the others didn’t think much of it, and shortly after, the high-speed rail started moving.
Neil’s eyes showed excitement: "Do you feel it, Mr. Ye Feng, Ms. Lin Shiyu, Ms. Han Yi! Do you feel it?"
Ye Feng and the others looked puzzled at Neil and asked, "Feel what?"
"The speed! The speed! The speed of our Country D’s high-speed rail, isn’t it fast? Isn’t it much faster than a train, how is it!" Neil was excited and proud, as if saying to Ye Feng and the others, look how developed and wealthy our Country D is, how well the high-speed rail is built.
Ye Feng, Han Yi, and Lin Shiyu exchanged bewildered glances, feeling helpless.
This high-speed rail, compared to Dragon Country’s, is it even considered high-speed? The high-speed rail in Country D at most reached speeds of over 60 kilometers per hour, not exceeding 80 kilometers at most. Don’t mention Dragon Country’s high-speed rail; even Dragon Country’s trains could reach speeds of over 120 kilometers per hour. Can Country D’s high-speed rail really be called high-speed?
Looking at Neil’s excited appearance, Lin Shiyu, Ye Feng, and Han Yi felt quite helpless.
Han Yi said helplessly, "Neil, you might not believe it, but even Dragon Country’s trains are faster than your high-speed rail..."
"Impossible!" Neil exclaimed excitedly, "That’s absolutely impossible! Dragon Country is such a poor country, they don’t even have high-speed rail, let alone trains faster than our high-speed rail. Ms. Han Yi, I think you shouldn’t exaggerate like this. If you Dragon Country people keep running your mouths like this, you’ll never surpass us in Country D!"
Han Yi pursed her lips helplessly, unwilling to continue speaking with Neil, a look of helplessness appearing in her eyes.
Seeing Han Yi silent, Neil thought he had exposed her lie, so Han Yi did not want to argue with him anymore.
A victorious smile appeared on Neil’s face, looking quite proud.
At this time, a family of three entered the carriage, dressed fashionably and wearing expensive suits. Seeing Neil, the man approached Neil: "Hello, my name is Mier. I’m here with my wife and son. Seeing there aren’t many people on the train, can we join you? It’s livelier with more people."
Seeing Mier’s family of three, who seemed to have a notable status, Neil nodded: "Of course, please feel free."
Mier’s family of three consisted of Mier, his wife, and their seven or eight-year-old son.
Then, Mier and his family found a seat and sat down, muttering, "It’s really strange, even if first-class isn’t normally crowded, it’s never this empty..."
Hearing Mier’s words, Ye Feng and the others also found it odd. They had already felt earlier that there were very few people.
But just at this time, the speed of the high-speed rail unexpectedly began to slow down more and more.
"What’s going on?" Everyone looked puzzled, clearly feeling the high-speed rail’s speed decreasing.
Originally, the high-speed rail’s speed was at least 80 kilometers per hour, but now it gradually slowed from 80 kilometers to 70, 60, 40 kilometers per hour.
When it reached 40 kilometers per hour, everyone could clearly feel that the speed had become very slow.
But even at 40 kilometers per hour, the speed kept decreasing.
Finally, the speed slowed to roughly only about 20 kilometers per hour.
Once it hit roughly 20 kilometers per hour, the speed no longer decreased but moved forward slowly.
At this moment, the air conditioning in the high-speed rail suddenly stopped, and the temperature gradually rose.
Country D is a country with a high temperature, so without air conditioning, the temperature inside the train quickly rose.
Everyone had perplexed expressions as the speed of the train slowed, and now even the air conditioning was off, making Ye Feng very puzzled.
