…
The station in the 8th zone disk is very far away from the Mako Reactor. In the original plot, the explosion of the Mako Reactor did not affect the station, let alone now.
When Shen Ye and Jessie entered the station, they found that order was still maintained and the passengers waiting to get on the train were still queuing there. Of course, although these people were queuing, almost everyone had anxiety and panic on their faces.
"Let's go find the freight car." Jessie pointed to the car at the back of the train and said to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye nodded, and taking advantage of the opportunity when the Shinra soldiers guarding the station went outside to maintain order, the two ran to the carriages at the rear of the train.
Soon, they found the location of the cargo car.
Shen Ye pushed open the door of the marked carriage, and then a miniature machine gun stretched out from inside.
"It's us, Barret." When Jessie saw the miniature machine gun, he knew that Barret and his men had arrived, and he quickly reminded them.
Barret had already seen clearly that it was them, and he just wanted to scare them. Then he retracted the machine gun and complained: "You are too slow. Biggs and I got here ten minutes ago."
Shen Ye jumped into the car, turned around and pulled Jessie up. Seeing that only Barret and Biggs were in the car, he said, "At least we are not the last to arrive."
"That's true." Barret nodded: "Cloudand Wedge are still outside."
However, Shen Ye and Jessie had just got on the train and hadn't found a place to sit when the train started moving.
"Oh no!" Jessie looked anxious as he heard the rumbling sound of the train starting. "Why is it so fast? Wedge and Cloud haven't arrived yet!"
"Don't worry, they will be fine. Don't forget Cloud's skills." Biggs was not worried at all, and said nonchalantly: "He is a former Shinra warrior."
"But..." Jessie hesitated to speak. She was not worried about Cloud, but about Wedge. After all, with Cloud's character, she was a little worried that Cloud would abandon Wedge.
While they were talking, the train had slowly left the station and then began to accelerate.
Now Jessie became even more anxious. She paced back and forth in the carriage restlessly. Her anxious look made Biggs a little nervous.
"Okay, Jessie, stop walking around. They will definitely catch up with us." Shen Ye was dazzled by Jessie and said helplessly.
"But the train is going so fast, how can they catch up?" Jessie said to Shen Ye, but at least it stopped.
Just as she finished her words, there was a banging sound at the car door, which made Barret and the others instantly nervous. They stood on both sides of the car door with guns raised. Only Shen Ye did not react and still sat there.
At this moment, Barret suddenly opened the car door, and then a round figure was thrown in from outside and fell heavily to the ground.
"It's Wedge!" Jessie shouted excitedly after seeing the person falling in.
"Is it just you? Where's Cloud?" Barret asked, raising his mechanical hand.
Wedge was still breathing heavily from the fall, but he still pointed outside. Then Cloud jumped in from outside the car and landed steadily inside.
"It seems that your journey was not very peaceful." Seeing Cloud coming in, Shen Ye finally stood up. He looked at Cloud's whole body and did not see anything on him that he did not want to see... The flowers planted by Aerith, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"We were stopped by Shinra soldiers on the road." Wedge stood up with the help of Biggs. He rubbed the place where he was hurt from the fall and said, "Then they found loopholes in our answers and started fighting. Thanks to Claude, otherwise I would have died."
At this point, Wedge patted Cloud on the shoulder and said loudly: "Cloud is definitely a reliable partner."
"Thanks for the compliment!" Cloud looked at the fat hand on his shoulder and finally gave up the idea of slapping it away.
"I'll give you an extra bonus as a thank you for saving Wedge." Barret nodded to Cloud, then walked towards the entrance to the cargo car and said, "We should change cars now."
…
The road from the cargo car to the passenger car was full of people. Most of these people came here after receiving the evacuation notice from Shinra Company. Although it was a bit crowded, it gave Shen Ye and the others a good opportunity to blend into the crowd.
"There are so many people today!"
"Everyone rushed home while they were evacuating. After all, no one knew what would happen to the destroyed Mako Reactor."
"I just saw the collapse of the Mako Reactor with my own eyes. That scene scared me so much that my legs are still weak."
"Me too, I almost peed my pants."
"But it's okay that the Mako reactor collapsed. How are we going to survive without electricity?"
"That's right. Those who destroyed the Mako Reactor are so despicable. Let me know who did it and I will teach them a lesson."
In the carriage that Shen Ye and his companions passed by, they could hear people discussing the destruction of the Mako Reactor. Since it was just a collapse and no greater damage was caused, those people's emotions were relatively stable.
However, although their emotions were stable, they were still condemning the people who destroyed the Mako Reactor in their words and deeds. After all, they didn't care whether the Mako Reactor was destroying the planet. What they cared more about was the low price of electricity and how to live without electricity.
"It sounds like we are doing something wrong!" Listening to the conversation of others, Jessie's mood became a little depressed. She leaned against Shen Ye and whispered.
"It's understandable. In their eyes, we are probably terrorists who have destroyed their peaceful lives!" Shen Ye sighed in his heart. If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding causing more casualties, he really didn't want to get involved in the plot of destroying the No. 1 Mako Reactor.
But if he does not participate, what happened in the original plot will be repeated. In order to make ordinary people oppose the Avalanche, the Mako Reactor is deliberately destroyed, causing more casualties.
"But Barret said we were doing the right thing." Jessie suddenly began to doubt what they were doing.
"Actually, Barret is not wrong. You are also working hard for the life of the planet. It's just that he is too extreme." Shen Ye comforted Jessie: "Besides, we also saw outside today that there were not many casualties. You don't have to blame yourself too much, Jessie."
"Yeah!" Jessie nodded, then hugged Shen Ye's arm, looking at him with bright eyes: "Thank you, Shen, I feel much better now."
"You're welcome!" Shen Ye touched Jessie's head and smiled at her.
