Chapter 7 Chapter VII

April 1.Sunday.Night, 22:26. Future Dream Mall, after the brutal earthquake, the shopping mall landscape elevator was suspended between the fourth and fifth floors. The elevator cable had broken, and the elevator fell rapidly like a guillotine knife.A thick, fishy liquid sprayed onto Mo Xing'er's face, she closed her eyes in pain, and restrained herself from screaming out of fear and nausea, otherwise the liquid would flow into her mouth.At the same time, her whole body fell suddenly, and her long hair rose upwards, as if she committed suicide by jumping from a tall building, like a leaf in free fall, but there was no wind to affect the gravity - this was a memory I had many years ago.

I didn't know which nerve to turn my brain to. In less than a tenth of a second, I remembered a Weibo I had read: How to escape when the elevator suddenly fell? First, hurry up and press the buttons for each floor - but it's too late.Second, if there is a handrail in the elevator, hold it tightly immediately - Mo Xinger's right hand side is on it, so naturally hold it tightly.Thirdly, the entire back and head are close to the inner wall of the elevator in a straight line, relying on the elevator wall as the protection of the spine - fortunately behind her is no longer a glass curtain wall, but a metal side wall.Fourth, the knees are bent, because the ligament is the only elastic tissue in the human body, and it must use the knees to bend to withstand the pressure of the heavy blow.

It took less than half a second to complete these actions, and the elevator hit the ground!She felt a strong jolt and heard the sound of large sheets of glass shattering.The eardrums buzzed loudly, the back hit the inner wall of the elevator heavily, the feet were almost lifted into the air, the internal organs were also violently hit, and the heart seemed to be knocked out of the throat. The elevator came to a complete stop, but her heartbeat hadn't stopped, instead it was beating even more crazily. As long as there is a heartbeat! Mo Xing'er couldn't believe that she was still alive, but the rapid and violent heartbeat like a drum, as well as the piercing pain in her back and soles, and the bones and joints that were almost falling apart, made her confirm that she was still in the world.

Fortunately, the landscape elevator only goes to the first floor of Future Dream Mall, unlike other straight elevators that go to the fourth basement floor.So, in reality, she only fell four and a half floors, protected by a solid elevator.Otherwise, if you fall four more floors into the underground garage, you may die from fractures all over your body! It was still like an ancient tomb in front of her. Enduring the pain all over her body, she struggled to get up.Although the elevator door had been opened long ago, he couldn't see the situation outside clearly, and he was afraid that he would fall into the abyss as soon as he got out.Trembling, she groped on the ground and found that it was full of broken glass, and finally touched a metal object—her mobile phone.Press the unlock button of the phone, and the screen lights up with a dazzling light-because it has been in the dark for too long.

She saw two twisted human legs. Obviously, those were not his own legs, they looked slightly plump, and the black silk stockings were stained with blood and excrement.Two legs were scattered near the elevator door, and there was a piece of blood and flesh, and it was impossible to tell which part of the human body it was.Mo Xing'er forced herself to calm down, and relying on the light of the phone screen, she saw a pair of red high-heeled shoes that had fallen off her two poor feet. On the almost intact soles, there were a few pieces of broken glass, and the big toe was still there. Instinctively twitched.

The unfortunate woman died in such a tragic way that only two legs were severed at the groin - the upper body remained on the fifth floor. Mo Xing'er suddenly understood that the filth on his face not only contained thick black blood, but also the excrement of this poor woman.There was a strong nausea in his stomach, and he tried not to vomit on the dead man's two stumped legs.She threw away the blood-stained coat, illuminated the open elevator door with her mobile phone, strode across the blurred pool of flesh and blood, and rushed to the ground floor of Future Dream Mall.At this point, the dinner and lunch were all spit out on the ground.She limped away from the elevator when she vomited until there was nothing in her stomach.There were shouts in the distance, and it turned out that there were still many survivors.She didn't take a few steps to the passage before she found the bathroom.

The women's toilet was also pitch black, with the sound of running water, and the toilet was damaged by the earthquake.She didn't dare to take photos deep in the toilet, for fear of seeing a corpse lying on the ground, so she only took photos of the sink at the entrance.Thankfully, there is still running water!Maybe it's leftover in the plumbing.Mo Xing'er didn't dare to use her mobile phone to look in the mirror to see her blood-stained face. She buried her head in the sink, rinsed her hair and face with ice-cold water, and washed for about ten minutes, feeling like she was going to wash her skin to pieces .

Use your mobile phone to illuminate the face in the mirror——In the dark and leaky women's bathroom, the faint light of the mobile phone screen illuminates the face of a long-haired woman, which reminds me of the woman combing her hair in the mirror in "Midnight Ring".She saw a pair of terrified eyes, so strange and terrifying, and her face was as pale as a dead person.Her slender fingers touched her face, which was pressed against the wet hair on her forehead, revealing a faint coquettish charm. No, it's not me! She lowered her head in pain, her arms and shoulders ached, and her hands were covered with blood when she touched them. Could it be that they haven't been washed?She suddenly realized that it was she who was bleeding, and she turned to look at her sideways, and sure enough, she found a lot of broken glass on her right arm and shoulder.

It turned out that the elevator fell down just now, the glass curtain wall was shattered, and some debris stuck to his body.Fortunately, she lowered her head and subconsciously protected her face, otherwise she would be disfigured!I didn't feel it because I was too nervous just now, but now it hurts like hell. What luck, if—even just one large piece of broken glass, it might have killed her. Mo Xing'er struggled to hold the mobile phone to illuminate with the injured hand, and turned around with the other hand to pull out the broken glass—every time, there would be a lot of blood stains, and the sound of groans echoed continuously in the women's toilet.She was surprised that she was so bold, she would have fainted from fright in normal times.

The glass shards visible to the naked eye were pulled out, and she took off her upper body clothes, exposing her naked body to the air. Anyway, no one would come in this kind of place at this time.She checked her body carefully, and bent down to wash the wound with running water—there must still be many small glass shards, which must be removed as much as possible, otherwise the injury will be more serious. When can I escape?When can I meet the doctor?Or can't escape anymore? Fortunately, each wound is very small, and the bleeding and scab will stop automatically soon.During the whole process, she did not shed a single tear.Putting on the undershirt full of holes again, I planned to go to the women's clothing store to find some beautiful and warm clothes, so that there would be no salesperson asking for an invoice to collect money, right?

When death is imminent, why are you still thinking about this?Being able to escape from the death elevator, does it mean that in the dark, there is some kind of power to protect him? Drenched and running out of the toilet, she found a towel in a small shop and hid in the dark to dry herself.As soon as he returned to the atrium of the ground floor, he tripped over something and fell to the ground. She rubbed her sore knee and turned her head in horror—it was a corpse whose limbs were twisted from the fall, its head was hidden in the shadows and it was impossible to see clearly, there was a pool of sticky substance on the ground, and it fell from an unknown floor of.Taking a few steps back, I looked up at the atrium, where there were faint lights shining on it.He remembered that ten minutes ago, he came out of the Ninth Floor Studios, and he never thought that he would come to the ground floor in this way. Such a short time.What is going on in this world? Mo Xing'er looked at the phone screen, but there was still no signal.From time to time, people ran past in a panic and rushed to the same place, so the light was concentrated there.Only then did she realize that it was the gate of Future Dream Mall, and everyone wanted to escape immediately. Many men took tools and tried their best to dig up the ruins blocking the gate.Suddenly, she noticed that one of them looked familiar. Under the light of the emergency lights, the man in his thirties was struggling to dig a tunnel——Mo Xinger remembered that he was in the elevator when the earthquake happened, This man is kissing his girlfriend passionately in front of her like no one else.However, when the elevator crashed and stopped between the fourth and fifth floors, he timidly left his girlfriend and ran away alone. As a result, his poor girlfriend was cut in two by the suddenly falling elevator.Presumably, people show heroic courage only when protecting their own lives. Behind this group of anxious men, more men and women followed, and they pushed each other, trying to occupy the best position for escape. Mo Xing'er didn't rush to join in the fun, and he knew he didn't have the energy.She held up her mobile phone to take pictures in the corner, saw the fixed phone hanging on the wall, picked it up and listened, but it was dead silent. Both wireless and wired communication have been interrupted. Unless there are special tools such as maritime satellite phones, can they be found in this building? After walking about ten meters along the foot of the wall, she found a woman squatting under her feet, holding a sleeping boy in her arms.Mo Xing'er didn't dare to disturb the rest of the mother and son, and walked away. She subconsciously hugged her shoulders, her hair was still wet, and she was shivering from the cold, she really wanted to take a hot bath right away! Suddenly, there was a deafening sound in the illuminated foyer, followed by countless panicked screams, and the emergency lights went out immediately. Mo Xing'er seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking in two.
