Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

April 2.Monday.In the morning, 0:01. The spotlight above his head flickered on and off again, and the soles of his feet trembled like an earthquake again.Mo Xing'er subconsciously lay down on the ground, wrapped in a wool cape of an international brand, and the tag with 998 yuan printed on it hadn't had time to tear off. If it wasn't for the women's clothing store on the ground floor when fleeing, he might have Frozen in the cold ground.There is still some pain in the back, which is caused by the broken glass piercing the body when the landscape elevator fell, and I don't know if it will leave a scar.I haven't looked in the mirror for more than an hour, what has become of myself?I hope I don't look like a bloody female ghost in a horror movie.The hair is scattered in front of the eyes, and it is useless to comb it, but most of the surviving women in the underground look like this.

Mo Xing'er cursed secretly in English.God was frightened by this woman's aura, and the shaking and loud noise of the whole building stopped.She got up from the ground in surprise, brushed her messy hair back, and watched the lamp above her head return to normal. Future Dream Building, seventh floor, outdoor goods store. She saw the Japanese woman get up with her son in her arms, the young man in supermarket work clothes was there, the white-collar worker who was injured looked sick, and the cleaning lady and the security guard supported each other.The young man in Dior men's clothing was pale and trembling in the corner.

"Just now..." It was the white-collar worker who broke the suffocating silence, "Is it... an aftershock...?" "Maybe it is." The Japanese woman replied softly in Chinese, it seems that she has long been used to all kinds of earthquakes.However, her expression was also quite frightened, as if she had never encountered such a big disaster, she lowered her head and hugged her son tightly - this boy who was about seven years old and wearing shorts was as pale as a dead man, only his lips were bright, which made Mo Xing'er Reminds me of The Twilight Saga. The face of the man in the supermarket uniform was covered with dust, but Mo Xinger couldn't help but look at those bright eyes a few more times.He boldly walked to the railing of the atrium, looked up and said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look? Maybe there is already an escape route upstairs."

Although the proposal is risky, when it comes to the word "escape", everyone immediately agrees. The group of people who were trapped at a depth of 150 meters underground carefully left the outdoor goods store on the seventh floor, and each took some small items they could use, and walked into the passage leading to a higher floor. Mo Xing'er walked at the end of the line.They soon came to the entrance of the cinema on the ninth floor. In front of the ticket window and the popcorn counter that were shaken beyond recognition, she thought of tonight—no, the time on her phone has reached 0:11 on April 2—that was last night, less than two hours ago Last night, I had just walked out of Future Dream Studios, with all kinds of nightmarish images from the American horror movie "Bloody Town" and the feeling of a group of mice rubbing against her shoes in my mind, so I was in the scenic elevator. The earthquake directly fell into hell.She didn't dare to look at the empty sightseeing elevator entrance.

The rustic accent of the young security guard came from next to his ear: "Don't fall behind, hurry up and go upstairs!" In a blink of an eye, the sound of several men beating their chests and feet came from ahead—the escape route from the ninth floor to the tenth floor was completely sealed by ruins, and there was reinforced concrete in it, and the ceiling exposed a pure steel structure, like a person's flesh and blood. It has rotted, and the white bones are directly exposed. The security guard sighed in fear again: "My God, even the load-bearing wall has collapsed!"

"What should I do?" The middle-aged female cleaner, the white-collar worker with a bandaged arm, and the rich second generation wearing a Patek Philippe all said these three words almost in unison. Everyone followed the security guards to another escape route on the opposite side of the ninth floor, and the situation was still the same—it felt like not only a staircase had collapsed. Back to the entrance of the cinema on the ninth floor, this is the highest floor of the atrium of the shopping mall, and then there is a tall and wide curved dome, somewhat like the dome of an indoor gymnasium or a great hall.It seems that there is no problem, but almost all the lights have fallen off, and there seem to be a few cracks in the shadows... I don't know if they were shaken or pressed.

The little boy struggled a few times in his mother's arms and was reprimanded in Japanese.The boy let out a mournful cry, but it was not the cry of a normal child, but the heart-wrenching sorrow of an adult, as if mourning for people who had turned into ghosts.Everyone looked at the boy quietly, watching his tears fall on his mother, and Mo Xing'er's tears were almost forced out. Suddenly, Mo Xing'er saw a group of black shadows running across the ground.In the blink of an eye, a mouse ran past her feet, sweeping its long, thin tail onto the upper of her shoe. With her own scream, she heard the rapid barking of a dog.She rubbed her eyes, and saw a beige Labrador standing in front of a rickety movie poster, with its tail clamped and barking at them, and a tall man standing beside it.Mo Xing'er saw him from a distance, and those eyes that could never see clearly behind the pupils... The rabbit was screaming!Rabbit is screaming!Rabbit is screaming!

During the few seconds when her mind was blank, then blurred, and finally clear, she felt her whole body freeze, and a deep fear came to her heart—a fear greater than a rat's tail sweeping across her feet. The distance between the two was tens of meters, but under the light of the light beside her, her face clearly fell into his eyes.Although nothing was revealed in his eyes, she still noticed something.She thought she would never tell that secret. The man's trembling was fleeting, he calmed down the Labrador, looked up and said: "There is one more person who needs to be rescued!" Mo Xing'er looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a rumor in a small shop specializing in children's toys. A man's cry came out.

They immediately walked into the toy store, and a man was stuck tightly between the counter and the window.His head was facing outwards, his feet were pressed underneath, and he couldn't get out no matter what.The counter was stuck by something. The security guard and the handsome guy from the supermarket tried their best to move it, but they couldn't move even a centimeter. "If it could be moved, I would have rescued him a long time ago!" The middle-aged man made a magnetic voice, and patted the Labrador on the head: "If Churchill was smart enough, I would have let him jump in and press him." Turn off the switch!"

It turned out that the reason why the cabinet could not be moved was that on the one hand, it might be stuck, and on the other hand, there was a switch under the cabinet. Mo Xing'er looked at the trapped man, his face was a bit vicissitudes, but he was only in his thirties, but he had a pair of overly mature eyes.This man's gaze is so special, it is definitely not begging others to save him, but coldly rejecting people thousands of miles away, as if any approach would hurt him. Ordinary people would shy away when they saw this kind of gaze, especially in this kind of situation where they were trapped to death, maybe there would be some kind of accident caused by the trapped beast and they would all die together.However, his gaze aroused a certain impulse in Mo Xing'er.She looked at everyone around her again, except for the seven-year-old Japanese boy, who was the slimmest and petite of her own.
