Chapter 904: Chapter 921: Predicament
Everyone initially thought that something must have happened on the tracks ahead, which caused the speed to slow down. It was estimated that it would take tens of minutes to recover, but half an hour had already passed quickly.
However, the high-speed train still hadn’t picked up speed and continued to move slowly forward.
This tortoise pace, combined with the slow progress, made people feel a burst of irritation and restlessness.
Before long, the temperature inside the carriage had already risen to about thirty-five degrees, but Ye Feng, Han Yi, and Lin Shiyu were still holding up well. After all, Ye Feng was a Legendary Great Perfection strongman, Lin Shiyu was also at Inner Strength Great Perfection, and Han Yi was an Innate Grandmaster.
Their physiques were not something ordinary people could imagine. Not to mention thirty-five degrees.
Even at forty-five degrees, they could endure it.
However, Neil couldn’t stand it. Anger flashed in his eyes as he shouted loudly, "What the hell is going on? At this rate, when can we get to Mengdu? Even the air conditioning has stopped. What are they doing?" Neil looked furious, and his temper was exceptionally large.
Don’t think Neil was just a tour guide. He wore a Holy Line around his neck. The existence of the Holy Line indicated that Neil was a noble. In D Country, nobles were not necessarily rich, and the rich were not necessarily nobles.
But the identity of a noble was definitely more prestigious than that of a wealthy person.
Neil frowned, feeling very displeased. At this moment, Mier said, "Mr. Neil, please don’t worry. Let’s find a conductor and ask what’s going on?"
At this moment, Mier and his family of three were also sweating profusely, with a look of pain in their eyes.
After all, their clothes weren’t very cool, making them a bit unbearable, and the temperature inside the carriage continued to rise.
At this moment, Mier pressed the service bell. It rang, and everyone waited for the staff to come and solve their problem, but after pressing it, the bell rang for a full five minutes, yet no staff appeared, nor any shadow of any worker on the high-speed train. This made them even more anxious.
"What on earth is going on? The slow speed is one thing, but there’s no air conditioning, are they trying to evaporate us?"
Neil roared angrily, then repeatedly pressed the service bell in front of him.
But still, no one appeared to answer their questions.
"Bastard!" Neil cursed loudly, standing up directly, and said to Ye Feng and the others, "Mr. Ye Feng, I’m going to see if there are any conductors or to find the train manager to ask what’s going on!"
Ye Feng nodded, still looking relaxed, as if the situation wasn’t too bad for him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" At this moment, a series of sounds echoed throughout the carriage.
They could hear Neil’s loud curses: "Bastards! Bastards! What on earth is going on, what’s the situation, are they not letting us go to Mengdu? Why are the doors locked? Is anyone here? Bastards!"
After a short while, Neil returned to the carriage where Ye Feng and others were, looking disheveled.
"What are they doing? The carriage doors are locked, what the hell is going on!" Neil became frenzied, his anger reaching his head, feeling extremely agitated.
"It seems like someone is targeting us..." Ye Feng said calmly, still composed as ever.
"Oh?" Lin Shiyu and Han Yi both looked at Ye Feng curiously.
Ye Feng said, "The speed has been reduced to twenty kilometers per hour, the air conditioning is off, and even the carriage doors are locked. Each thing individually might be a coincidence, but combined, it can’t be a coincidence!"
After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Han Yi and Lin Shiyu both felt it made sense and curiously asked, "Then what should we do now?" Ye Feng replied, "Let’s first see what the situation is before getting anxious."
At this moment, the high-speed train was still crawling forward, while the temperature inside had already reached a full forty degrees.
Everyone was sweating profusely, looking uncomfortable. Mier’s son looked at Mier with a pained expression and said, "Dad, I’m so hot, I’m so uncomfortable!"
Mier patted Little Mier’s head: "Be good, Little Mier, we’re almost at Mengdu, it’ll be cooler at home after we get off the train!"
"Mm! I’ll hold on a little longer!" Little Mier nodded obediently and didn’t speak again.
"Damn it, it’s so hot. Is there anyone who can turn on the air conditioning!" Neil shouted angrily.
"Whoosh~~~" At that moment, as if someone heard Neil, air started blowing in from the air conditioning vents, bringing excitement to Neil’s eyes.
"Great, it’s so good, the air conditioning is working!" Neil said excitedly.
Knowing this, in the current situation in the carriage, either the speed should increase to quickly reach the destination, there should be air conditioning, or the carriage doors should open to let them out. If any one of these three conditions were met, they wouldn’t feel so miserable.
Seeing the air conditioning vents blowing, Neil was very satisfied, with excitement in his eyes.
But just then, Neil cursed loudly: "Damn it, what’s wrong now, it’s blowing hot air! The carriage is already very hot, do they want to roast us?"
Indeed, the air from the air conditioning vents was hot, meaning the temperature inside the carriage was rapidly rising. Now, at forty degrees, it was already very uncomfortable, and if the temperature rose further, it would be intolerable.
"Bastard! Turn off the air conditioning, turn off the air conditioning!" Neil shouted angrily, but this time it seemed no one heard him, as hot air continued to pour in from the air conditioning vents.
The temperature in the carriage was also rapidly rising, and before long, it had reached forty-five degrees.
Neil, Mier, and his family of three were all suffering from dry mouths, and Neil couldn’t care about his image anymore, stripping off his clothes until he was just wearing shorts.
Mier also took off his clothes, baring his upper body.
