The Midnight After Page #2

A truck vanished?

That must be it!

Driver, you must have seen it!

Lion Rock Tunnel?

Time to call my brothers...

Hey,Keung,Keung...

Anyone hear me?

What's going on?

Hey, Lam's wife is about to give birth!

Right, as we went through the tunnel...

... I blinked for a moment too, didn't I?

Unless...

Maybe...

It isn't everybody else who's disappeared

It's us!

My guess is...

something happened in Lion Rock Tunnel

That's why all the cars vanished

While we were in the tunnel...

our minibus...

had a serious accident

All of us are already dead

What? All dead?

You're kidding, right?

I'm... dead?

This guy's out of his mind

How can he say such things?

What are you doing?

What are you laughing at?

I'm laughing at you!

You really think this is an accident?

I'm telling you all, since the 17 of us...

got on board this minibus...

our destinies have been aligned

Hey, lady...

You can laugh at them

But don't blame my minibus

At 2:
28am...

as this minibus was about to set off...

that couple who first got on the bus...

You mean the man and woman who got off?

Motherf***er!

The two who were in that accident?

It's destiny

When the 17 of us...

took this red minibus together...

our destinies were sealed!

The constellations of Sirius and the Pleiades...

foretold this!

In 2012, Earth entered the Photon Belt

It's moving from the 3rd Dimension into the 4th

This depopulated space we're in...

is our new world!

Lady, you've got to be joking

Wake up, stupid Earthlings!

Do you understand?

This lady is out of her freaking mind

She's like one of those crazies from Temple Street

Impressive! You're quite right!

I tell fortunes in Temple Street market

The fifth tent along, opposite the public toilet

That's me, Mock Sau Ying

I'm also an insurance broker

Well now, let's see...

The pendulum shows that your seven chakras...

...are still in balance

We still have time

Tell you what...

You should all buy insurance from me

Then you'll be covered if the worst happens

You can't be serious! Buy insurance?

Why not?

She's completely lost it, listen to her!

I'm not from Tai Po, I need to get to Tsuen Wan

Wait... just a moment!

Calm down, everybody

It's now 3:
30am

It's still a few hours until sunrise

I have a suggestion

We all stay inside the minibus

Don't go outside alone

Are you crazy?

I said, I'm not from Tai Po! I'm leaving!

We gotta get this straight!

It makes no difference

if you're from Tai Po or not

You can't leave here yet!

Then why are we...

staying on this minibus? Is this safer?

Is it actually dangerous outside?

He's right, there's nothing outside

No people, no cars, what's not safe about that?

Honey.

In horror films, it's when the group splits up...

they all die, one after another

So what do we do once the sun rises?

Since we don't know what's happening...

it's best we all stay here until sunrise

It's the safest option

Okay, that's enough!

I wish all you f***ers would just shut up!

I've been driving minibuses for twenty-some years

I've seen it all!

All of you, just get out of my vehicle!

Here?

The terminus is Tai Po Centre

Get us there at least before you kick us off!

Yeah, f*** you!

Keep driving, a**hole!

Why are you shouting?

As you're f***ing me and calling me an a**hole...

I'll take you to Tai Po Centre

I'm getting out of this madhouse!

Hang on!

Before we go, shouldn't we...

exchange phone numbers and information?

What information?

In case things aren't back to

normal in the morning

We'll be able to reach each other

I agree

This young man is smart, just like my younger self

The future is in your hands

My name is Wong, Wong Man Fat

I'm from Dai Yuen Estate, call me Fat

I'm Shun

I'm Chi, Yau Tsi Chi

I'm Yuki

This is my wife, Pat...

and my name is Bobby

Mook Sau Ying, call me Ying

How about 'Sorceress Ying'?

My turn, I'm Airplane

I'm Glu-Stick

I'm Lavina, call me LV

- Auyeung Wai...

- What?!

My name is Auyeung Wai (impotence)

Oh, you need viagra?

Sir, I can see you're a junkie...

Blind Fai, call me Blind Fai

Oh! You're blind?

Sure I am!

That's why I got on this bus with all you f***ers

5698-5698!

Go on, you ask

Sir, what's your number?

9045-8451

Lady, what's your number?

5312-6312

Why doesn't anyone ask me?

Will there be anyone here this late?

Let's take a look

Okay, hurry UP

Huh? The lights are on...

Try banging on the door

Hey, look over there

Hello?

Hello! Open up!

Where did everybody go?

Anybody there?

Hello! Is anyone there?

There's no transport to get me back to Tsuen Wan

How can I get there? Any ideas?

You could walk

Just go past Tai Mo Mountain and you're there

Walk?

Would you walk? Idiot!

What kind of friend is he?

Dunno, who'd have thought this would happen

He isn't usually like this

He was supposed to meet us

Kids...

Do you know, is there something I can find...

to represent the culture of Tai Po?

You're talking about culture?

Why shouldn't I talk about culture?

I'll tell you, our Tai Po friends say...

that Tai Po's culture is just like...

the men's room at an international airport

Meaning...?

You come out saying "I've seen it all"

What about the women's room?

The same, I guess

Just look around and you'll know

Right, I see... See you

See you

What a wreck, just look at him...

I guess he's looking for his next fix

It's incredible...

we can make calls, but nobody picks up

So it's not just a Tai Po problem

It could be the whole of Hong Kong

So... what are you saying?

What about the whole of Hong Kong?

The way it seems, we could be...

the only survivors in the Hong Kong area

Then... What about my boyfriend?

Hey, you don't believe this, do you?

I went from here to Kowloon just this morning

Wow, there's really no-one around

It's usually busy all night long

What the hell happened?

I searched; looks like

there are'nt any updates on-line

So I guess we're in big trouble

Have you checked the BBC website?

I tried the main Hong Kong's news sites

Yahoo, CR, RTHK...

Apple Daily, Oriental Daily, The Sun...

None of them has been updated...

since around 2:
40am

Which is when we came out of Lion Rock Tunnel

Nobody has updated since then

Have you checked any foreign websites?

Yahoo in Japan and Taiwan...

CNN and ABC in the US, BBC in the UK...

China Weibo, Tianya Club...

All without any updates

Are you serious?

No news updates...

But you called

the police station and it rang, right?

So the phone network seems to still be working

Telecommunications are still up and running

I... I'm going to head home

All by yourself?

I'll be fine, bye bye

BYE bye

I'll go home too

I'll try to find a way to get to Kowloon

BYE bye

Hang on, Yuk. Yuk!

I'm going the same way

Let's walk together

But I have to cross that bridge to Tai Wo Estate

No way! I live in Tai Wo too!

Yuki, you look so worried

What is it? Still can't

get through to your boyfriend?

I can't reach my girlfriend either

She's in Mei Foo...where's your boyfriend?
