Day 5.

I woke up with the incandescent light still on in my bedroom, I didn't know how long I had been asleep, and the time on my watch had lost its meaning. I rolled over and sat up, and found that everyone else in the dorm room was sitting in their own beds, all looking listless. At this time, Xu Tong sat on my bed, his eyes were bloodshot red, and his chapped lips were gray and pale.

"Are you awake?" Xu Tong's voice was hoarse and low, and it was already a little slurred.

"Well, how long have I been asleep?" I asked Xu Tong.

"All day. Xu Tong replied.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up?" I asked.

"Hehe," Xu Tong smiled reluctantly, "What are you doing to wake you up, everyone is waiting for death." ”

I stopped talking and looked around again.

"Why is there one less person?" I said in a tone that seemed to be asking about the next day's schedule, as I had already guessed the outcome, and death in this cell had become a common topic at this time.

"I fell to my death while going to the toilet. I don't know where the boy stepped on, but it turned out that there was a wooden board that could be flipped under his feet, and when we entered, we found that underneath the flap was an abandoned elevator hall. Xu Tong said calmly.

I stopped talking, and began to hesitate in my mind to tell Xu Tong everything I had just dreamed about, but even if I told him everything, how would our situation change?

Suddenly, Xu Tong leaned into my ear and whispered, "I found not only that flap in the bathroom, but also a wooden door, maybe that is the second exit." ”

I looked at Xu Tong in amazement to determine if what he had just said was true or if it was his hallucination.

"I was the only one who discovered that door, and no one else knew about it. Let's go together, if everyone moves too quietly, they will be discovered. Xu Tong's eyes slowly flashed with the brilliance of excitement that I hadn't seen for a long time, or the only remaining desire to survive.

"How do we get in?" I asked Xu Tong in a low voice.

"Let's go in together. Xu Tong said.

"Let's go in together?" I stared at Xu Tong with distrustful eyes, and began to wonder if his brain was really broken.

"I've calculated that no one will come to this room at this time of day. As for them," Xu Tong turned his head to look at the others in the dormitory, "they're about to become crazy now, don't care." ”

I thought about it, and now there is only one way to go, so I nodded and accepted Xu Tong's arrangement.

The door in the bathroom wasn't hidden, perhaps because it was a little too conspicuous to be noticed. The bathroom was still terribly cold, and the cold wind from the abandoned elevator room under my feet made my back chill for a while, Xu Tong trembled and studied the lock on the door for a long time, and finally he sneezed and said to me in a thick nasal voice, "No, I can't open it." ”

Xu Tong and I switched places, stood in front of the wooden door and began to examine the lock carefully, searching for a way to open it in our increasingly stiff minds. Suddenly, as if it was an inexplicable unconscious action, I pressed one hand directly on the top of the wooden door, and with a gentle force, the wooden door was opened silently, and the lock fell silently at the same time, but fortunately I caught it with my other hand.
