Sequence 3 Strive

In the darkness, Tyunin groped his way up. She is a master climber, and climbing is easy for her, but today it felt more difficult than climbing this short distance, and the steel bars kept rubbing against her ankles, so she had to slow down her progress many times. In the darkness, her fear reaches its peak, she stops from time to time and shines a flashlight around her, the darkness is always the most primitive fear point of human beings. She looked down, but she couldn't see the way she came, so she turned on the flashlight and pinned it to the hemp rope around her waist, so that at least she was not so afraid.

After spending most of her physical strength, she finally climbed up to the elevator door on the second floor, Qiu Ning grabbed the steel cable with one hand, pinned the flashlight back to her waist, took out a crowbar with the other hand, inserted it in the middle of the crack in the elevator door, and turned it hard to turn left and right, praying in her heart not to be like a first floor that could not be opened. After several attempts in a row, the elevator door was only pried open by a small crack, and a faint light came through the gap, which was the first time she felt safe after being trapped here.

Probably because she was desperately twisting her body, the flashlight pinned to her waist slipped off the hemp rope, although she realized it, but it was too late, the flashlight left her with the light, and fell heavily on the elevator, there was a crisp sound, and the light disappeared in the sound. She froze in mid-air, her eyes staring downward, knowing that it was too late to remedy everything, but still staring at the dark tunnel below. She closed her eyes and gasped for air, her brain suddenly empty, wanting to vent but not knowing how to vent.

After calming down a little, she fumbled in the dark to pry the elevator door, and due to the excessive force, the steel cable swayed so much that she almost slipped off the steel cable. Still, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and in this experience, she learned not only perseverance, but also patience.

Finally, the elevator door was half pried open, and she threw the crowbar through the crack in the door, and her free right hand hooked the elevator door tightly, slowly trying to release the hand that was holding the steel cable, intending to get through the crack in the door. Maybe it was the reason why she let go too early, when she let go of her hand, she almost fell from it, she grabbed the elevator door panel hard, her whole body was hung in the elevator passage, she tried her best to climb up, her left hand also grabbed the door on the other side, the elevator door was stretched open little by little, this gap was enough for her to pass through, she used both arms hard, jumped forward, and climbed into the building.

She lay motionless on the second floor of the library, panting on her chest. It was the calmest she'd been in the time, lying on the solid floor, feeling at ease despite the dust. She grinned, unable to tell whether she was laughing or uncomfortable, her eyes were full of tears, and she wanted to cry, but she couldn't.

The cracks in the ceiling are clearly visible, like a space-time crack, and dust seeps out of the cracks from time to time. Tyuten stood up and patted the dust off her body and tidied it up a little.

The second floor of the library is also disorganized, surrounded by collapsed debris, but the light here is the only presence that Qiu Ning can feel solid. She came to a window where the glass was completely shattered, and looked at the destruction outside, but everything that seemed familiar, thinking of her parents, family, friends, enemies, where were they? Could they be so lucky to stand somewhere and share the same sky?

She saw the uniformed rescuers in the distance, realized that she was still in danger, and wanted to cry out for help, but she felt like she was speechless, unable to speak at all, and her throat seemed to be choked by something. She was about to change the window in a good position, but she tripped over a piece of gravel under her feet and hit her head on the edge of the windowsill. She felt a bout of vertigo and sat up slowly, feeling like her head was bleeding. Through the reflection on the mobile phone screen, I saw a crack on my head, although the wound was not deep, but the blood had been left uninterruptedly.

It may be that the wound on her head has made her nerves more sensitive, and the old wound on her foot suddenly stings, she lifted her trouser leg and found that the inflammation on her foot was worse than before, and she sat on the ground helplessly. If she can escape, then this experience is undoubtedly the most difficult in her life.

She suddenly saw the hemp rope squeezed around her waist, and while hating why she had thought of it, she quickly untied the rope. Just as she was about to escape with the rope, all her plans were interrupted by the occurrence of aftershocks, and the earth shook no less than the previous one. She dropped the rope and quickly burrowed into the gap between the collapsed two bookcases, curled up in it motionless, like a little girl who had just escaped from the clutches of the pervert.

The dust continued to seep down from the ceiling, and the tremor became stronger and stronger, and the chandelier in the ceiling finally couldn't support it, and smashed on the bookcase next to her, making a loud noise, so frightened that her body shivered, and curled up tighter, and she didn't even dare to reach for the rope that was close at hand.

The tremor gradually disappeared, and the earth was not shaking, she slowly crawled out from under the bookcase, just stood up, and suddenly felt that the floor under her feet was a little loose, and at the same time, the whole library began to shake, and before she could react, the whole building was already falling to the other side, and the debris in the room was also rolling down, for a while, the whole building was completely tilted, and she could feel the fear of standing on the slope, but at this time, Qiu Ning was like a fool, frozen in place and motionless, until the angle of the building tilted made her unstable, Only then did he realize the danger and slide down the slope. She tried to grab some bookcases along the way, but she couldn't, and her body was like a balloon in the air.

As the speed of the slide became faster and faster, some of the collapsed bookcases became a threat to her, she desperately dodged left and right, and while dodging, she hooked a bookcase with her hand, this bookcase was like a boulder, lying flat on the slope, everything around her was sliding downward, and only this bookcase was as solid as a rock, as if this was a life-saving straw specially designed for survivors.

Just as she was glad that she had survived, the only "savior" suddenly loosened, and the bookcase slid down a little, accompanied by a piercing grinding sound, and Qiu Ning also slid down. The shock from the friction made her arm tingle, but in the end she didn't hold on and let go of the hand that was holding on to the bookcase. In just a few seconds, she slipped from the center of the room to the other side. When she reached the edge of the wall, she spread her feet out to cushion her, but even so, her body was still shaken by the impact, and the wound on her foot was like tearing off a plaster, and it hurt to the core. The bookcase slammed into the wall next to it, and the wall began to crack with a loud bang.

She was in pain all over, with multiple abrasions on her body and limbs, and her left leg was in unbearable pain as if it had broken tendons. Although the collapse had stopped, she still did not dare to relax, and kept watching the slope vigilantly, for fear that something would slide down and smash her into a pulp.

While she was still staring at it, the wall beneath her feet suddenly cracked, and she fell to the other side of the crack along with the bookcase. Surrounded by dust, visibility was no more than a meter, and she staggered to her feet, choking on the thick dust and coughing. She shook her arms vigorously, fanning the dust in front of her, feeling thirsty in her throat, and no matter how much she swallowed her saliva, her throat was still as uncomfortable as a knot.

The dust cleared, and she began to discern the terrain. This is the office building next door to the library, which has been extensively damaged, but the overall structure is still solid. She stroked one of the pillars that was already covered with dust, and remembered a lot of things, at this time, Qiu Ning, felt that there were a lot of memories about herself on the pillar, beautiful and ugly, people who supported and looked down on themselves also appeared in front of her. Sometimes they laugh at the camera, sometimes they cry; Sometimes hateful, sometimes amiable.

In all her fantasies, she didn't even want to leave here, she wanted to hide here forever, no one knew about it, no one heard about it, she could be far away from the world, and she would never hear those gossip again. However, the more she wanted to escape, the more she couldn't escape, the past Zongzong was vivid, always haunting her mind, her brain almost collapsed, and finally she couldn't support the load of thinking, she began to shout loudly, maybe this would release all the depression in her heart, tears on her dusty face, drawing clear furrows. She slapped the pillar in front of her hard, releasing the depression in her heart......

In the mood of grief, Qiu Ning gradually stopped crying, and there was no longer any image on the pillar in front of her, perhaps because of her heart-rending venting, she felt that the jack pendant on her head slowly disappeared. She gasped for breath, and most of the dust around her had cleared, but she still couldn't make out the structures around her. Qiu Ning suddenly heard the sound of someone communicating in the distance, at first thought it was his own auditory hallucination, but listened carefully and finally made sure that he had heard correctly.

"I just heard a voice inside!"

"Where?"

"Inside, it looks like a woman is crying."

"Let's go! Let's go over and take a look, everyone stay safe! ”

Every sentence came into Qiu Ning's ears clearly, and she was even more convinced that she had heard correctly. She quickened her pace, groped her way to the front door through the dust that had dispersed, and vaguely saw several people in uniform outside the glass door, and her heart was suddenly full of hope, and she limped to the door with her injured leg.

Just as she had pinned all her hopes on the door, the platform above the door collapsed with a tearing sound, and the hopeful door vanished in an instant, and dust and darkness once again prevailed. She stood still, still hearing the voices of outsiders, but for some reason, she didn't want to hear any sound at all, she just wanted to sit quietly in a corner.

She sat on the ground at a loss, when she heard someone outside shouting, "Hey! Is there anyone in there?! She was stunned for a second, and then responded without hesitation: "Yes...... Yes! I'm in there! ”

There was a voice of communication outside: "There are people inside!" Qiu Ning quickly crawled to the blocked doorway and shouted at the rift: "Help me!" ”

A very strong voice comforted: "Don't worry, stay here and don't move!" We get you out! Then he instructed the others to prepare their tools, and after a while, the voice said, "We'll save you at once, don't be in a hurry!" Qiu Ning was a little anxious, she gasped and replied: "It's very choked here, I feel a little out of breath!" ”

Outside asked, "How are you doing now?" Are there any injuries? ”

Qiu Ning glanced at his feet and replied a little stammering: "I...... My leg is sprained! ”

"Can you move around now?"

"It should be able to ......"

"Okay, it's okay! Don't move, we'll save you right away! Then came the sound of something being lifted. The people outside then asked, "What's your name?" Is it a student? ”

"I ...... I'm not a student anymore......"
