"The train has reached the terminal station. Please take all your personal belongings and exit the vehicle. Do not leave anything behind..."
Following the subway announcement, the doors opened, and passengers poured out, instantly crowding the platform before forming an orderly queue for the escalator.
Only when most of the passengers had left did Zhou Chen get up from his seat. He ambled out of the car and got on the escalator.
Behind him was a laughing, chatting couple who looked like tourists visiting Hai City, discussing the food they had eaten and the attractions they had visited during the day.
In front of him was a mother holding the hands of two small children. She looked to be in her early thirties, fashionably dressed with a mature charm. Further ahead was a young man with a guitar case on his back, dressed like an artist, listening to music on his wireless earbuds.
