Chương 5: Chapter 5 : Damn Elevator ....
"What, the end of the world is coming? Everyone is stocking up on medicine today," the aunt at the pharmacy joked.
"Do a lot of people hoard medicine?" Ike asked. Maybe that's the drugstore's sales strategy.
"That's 860 dollars," the pharmacy staff said after scanning the drugs.
"Thank you." Ike paid the bill with a wry smile.
"Welcome next time!" The staff at the pharmacy were very happy because business was particularly good today.
Ike felt the weight of the two packs of pills in his hands.
After that, he will have to go to Yingli's studio to get a spare key from Aunt Li. It is not difficult to imagine how strange it was when the other side saw him with two bags of pills in his hand.
The phone's 5G network suddenly became slow, waiting for a response.
Will grid failures also lead to 5G base station failures? Maybe so.
Ike had tried to slow down to Yingli's office downstairs, but once he got to the building, his headaches started again.
His mother's office is on the seventh floor.
There's something wrong with the grid, so he doesn't want to take the elevator.
Did he have to carry these two bags up to the seventh floor? Time: 17:15 p.m.
Finally, on the seventh floor, a layer of sweat had seeped from behind Ike.
This floor was built from several shared offices, with Yingli's office located outside the fire escape.
The employees inside were packing their bags to leave work andsaw him.
"Hello, Ike."
Ike greeted them casually, placed two bags of pills outside the studio door, and pushed open the glass door.
The lights inside were mostly out and gray. Knock, knock, knock.
Ike knocked on the door. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Damn it.
There's no one in there.
Ike turned around and saw the elevator stopped on the first floor.
I'm afraid it was just at the moment he came in that these men closed the rolling doors and went down in the elevator.
How could a fire escape be inside a rolling door? It doesn't even comply with fire regulations.
Can't he just take the elevator?
A neurotic.
Ike couldn't help but say an expletive in his mind. He knew he would have to take the lift sooner or later, so why bother climbing the stairs so hard?
Damn it.
Ike hit the elevator with a headache. That's all he could do.
Those people just got off the elevator smoothly, and he had taken this elevator many times without any problems.
It shouldn't be so unfortunate.
With a "ding dong," the elevator reached the seventh floor smoothly.
While it's a bit of a storm in a teacup, Ike sees nothing wrong with being vigilant.
It's always better to be careful. After all, he didn't want to be stuck in an elevator.
The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and a young woman with two children entered.
So far, so good.
The elevator closed slowly again.
"Baby, don't mess with it." The woman said to the child.
The child mischievously tried to play with the buttons on the elevator, but luckily the woman stopped him in time.
The elevator stopped again.
"Don't be naughty, baby. The elevator doors are about to open."
She had just stopped the child who wanted to press the elevator when another child climbed up the door and slipped through a gap in the door, waiting for her to pull both children back.
The elevator hasn't opened yet.
Ike glanced out quickly, and judging by the glass outside the window, they should now be parked between the fourth and fifth floors!
Is that his bad luck?
Ike calmly stepped forward and pressed the emergency button inside the elevator.
After a while, a man's voice came from the other side, and Ike told the staff about the situation.
"Yes, the elevator stopped suddenly, and besides me, there is a mother with her two children. The elevator stopped between the fourth and fifth floors."
"Well, don't worry, stay calm! The electrician has just left. I'll call someone back at once!" The guy over there may not be the usual guy on duty, but he's more flustered than Ike.
Ike also heard the sound of a stool falling from the microphone.
However, he is not worried. Now all he had to do was wait in the elevator for help.
"Why does the elevator stop, Mom?" The mother was calm, but there was tension between her brows.
"Don't be afraid, baby. A policeman will pick us up later. Look at the cars outside, aren't there a lot of them?"
"Wow, that's a lot of cars," the two children said, their innocence shining through.
Ike took out his mobile phone, ready to call Yingli to explain the situation so she wouldn't worry about him. However, he realized that his cell phone had no signal at all.
Damn, that's bad luck. Not even a 2G signal!
Ike silently touched his forehead, put two bags of pills on the floor, and sat down. Was he really having an unlucky day? Maybe not, after all, the elevator he was riding in hadn't fallen off yet.
About half an hour later, the panic button sounded:
"You keep calm and don't be afraid! I only got in touch with them after everyone got off work today. They're coming. If you feel uncomfortable, you can contact me." This was the voice of the staff.
The young woman said, "How do you do things? Shouldn't someone be on duty at a time like this?"
The man said, "Ma'am, am I not on duty? It's just that I'm new here and not familiar with this place! Besides, today's circumstances are too special. The electrician on duty had a problem at home and asked for leave. But don't worry, I've contacted another electrician, and they'll get you out in no time."
The two children began to get scared, and the young woman became increasingly agitated.
But Ike didn't say anything; he just sat down and waited quietly.
The sky outside quickly darkened, and it began to drizzle. The hazy street lights flickered in the rain, and the traffic police directed the rainy traffic under the lights. There were fewer people on the streets, and the wind gradually picked up.
Even if you couldn't hear outside, you could see the strength of the wind in the violently shaking trees and trembling umbrellas.
There was a hurricane coming.
The storm came so suddenly that passersby were unprepared. The sky darkened completely. Police directing traffic had to hold onto their road signs to make sure they weren't blown away. The roaring, swirling, colorful garbage bags roamed like ghosts from the underworld.
Suddenly, a large piece of iron flew out of nowhere and hit the top of the sightseeing elevator. The large iron plate outside the sightseeing elevator was smashed twice and fell like a lost prop, but luckily, the elevator was unharmed.
But this frightened the two children, and they began to cry out.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," the young woman reassured them, but to no effect. The children's cries were like a life- threatening talisman and made the woman's mood extremely agitated. She clenched her fists impatiently, pressed the panic button twice, and shouted:
"Why haven't you come down yet? How long are we going to be trapped?!"
But her inquiries, like stones dropped into an abyss, thudded away without a response.
Sensing their mother's alarm, the children cried even harder.
Ike had a splitting headache and said, "Shut up! Limited indoor air, save energy."
The woman said, "Ah," feeling a little frightened, and took half a step back with the baby in her arms. "I saw on TV that they could get out through the top of the elevator. Should we try it?" she said, almost tearfully.
Ike closed his eyes and didn't respond.
Climbing off the top of the elevator was something out of a TV show, and he wasn't that crazy.
Ike didn't know how much time had passed, but when he closed his eyes, he suddenly saw a dazzling light.
Had the electrician arrived?
Ike opened his eyes and heard the frightened voice of thewoman:
"What is that? Why is the sky so bright?"
In the sky? Wasn't that a flashlight?
Ike turned his head to look out of the sightseeing stairs.
In the dark rainy night, the sky displayed an eerie and changeable green light, which was visually stunning. These sci-fi colors alternated between green, purple, and red, painting the land and houses a lush green.
In this psychedelic display of colors, the young woman's face appeared extremely pale, her eyes blurred, and her body seemed to be swept by an electric current. Her soul trembled under that extremely bright and mysterious light.
The children's clear pupils reflected grand, macroscopic figures.
Under the illumination of the aurora, the city felt like it had been hijacked by aliens, and the magical and sci-fi colors of light created a mysterious border that separated it from the rest of the world. It was like a dome that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, covering the entire city.
