Chapter 3: Elevators
Liang Wenjing pulled again.
Liang Shuyu slapped her hand away.
However, looking at her fake look of crying or not, Liang Shuyu was really helpless, so he could only throw the mineral water and milk back into the shopping cart, and the cart withdrew from the cashier area.
Liang Wenjing followed in small steps, burying his eyes behind Liang Shuyu's shoulders and not daring to look around.
In fact, the hands on the ground have been picked up by the mall staff, and the cleaning aunt is cleaning the blood stains on the ground.
But Liang Shuyu still blindfolded her and pulled her inside.
The reason why Liang Wenjing proposed to buy more things was because she was worried that the subway was forced to stop and the plane crash was real, and she wanted to be prepared for such a terrible thing suddenly happening in the mall.
For Liang Shuyu, he eats as much as he buys, and it is he who Liang Wenjing doesn't like to eat.
Liang Wenjing can't finish eating is his, and what Liang Wenjing is bored with is also his.
He's just a rice bucket, what can he say?
So they took a lot of instant noodles, bread, biscuits, chocolate and so on.
13:25 minutes.
When he arrived at the cashier again, the mobile phone in Liang Shuyu's pocket kept shaking.
When I opened it, it was Liu Xiaopang's private message.
[Brother Liang, something happened, something really happened, I will never lie to you. The subway of Line 5 was forced to stop, the car derailed, and many people died, and now there are discussions everywhere outside]
[Deep Blue Airlines flight ZH9469 crashed, casualties are not known at present]
[There's another thing I haven't told you before.] I took the amateur radio exam last year and got to know some amateur radio enthusiasts who told me that from February of this year all amateur radio bands have been banned]
[Although the official gave a reasonable reason, judging from what happened today, these small things add up to absolutely abnormal]
[If you believe me, at least stock up on useful supplies.] Food, stomach medicine, cold medicine, antibiotics, especially vitamins, and water ......]
What is amateur radio? This sentence was sent by Liang Shuyu.
He had heard the radio, and he could roughly understand the meaning of the word amateur, but the meaning of the combination.
Could it be a radio station?
But Liu Xiaopang may not have looked at his phone, and Liang Shuyu has never replied to the messages sent in the past.
Is Liu Xiaopang's words credible?
Ever since he became obsessed with survivalism, he looked like he was looking forward to a disaster every day, which made Liang Shuyu very unoptimistic to be honest, and even had a little feeling of "having nothing to do".
All the pocket money was used to buy various survival materials, resulting in Liu Xiaopang being a "eating and drinking" character for a long time.
Liang Shuyu thought about it.
Never mind.
Just like Liu Xiaopang said.
So much food and drink, even if you buy it and don't use it, you can always eat it in the end, and you won't waste it.
It doesn't matter if you buy something and keep it at home.
What's more, today's atmosphere really made him feel a little weird.
Liang Shuyu pulled Liang Wenjing and bought some more durable food, such as canned food, compressed biscuits, bagged bread, etc.
Two whole shopping carts, which cost more than eight hundred dollars.
"Are we going to buy too much?" While waiting for the elevator, Liang Wenjing suddenly shrunk his neck and said this.
Liang Shuyu couldn't laugh, "Are you scared now?" ”
Liang Wenjing pursed her lips.
Elevator to.
Liang Shuyu pushed two cars in, occupying most of the space in an instant.
A family of three, waiting for the elevator together, also squeezed in and stood on the periphery of the shopping cart.
The elevator became a little insensitive, and the advertising lights in the compartment flashed a few times the moment the elevator doors closed.
Liang Shuyu suddenly thought of the microwave explosion accident in the mall, and the crackling sound of cables, which still echoed in his mind.
Grid failures.
The subway was forced to stop.
He shouldn't have taken the elevator.
But it should be too late to go out now, from the center of the mall to the underground parking lot, but the difference between the 1st floor and the minus 1st floor.
This small and superficial layer was not enough for him to make other plans.
The time required to get from the 1st floor to the minus 1st floor is no more than 10 seconds, and if you add the time to open and close the door, it will never take more than 1 minute.
But Liang Shuyu began to frown, nervous and worried.
In case of elevator failure, although it is impossible to fall suddenly and fall to pieces, after all, the deepest here is minus 2 floors, but you will definitely be trapped in the elevator for at least an hour.
Fortunately.
His worries were unwarranted.
The elevator reached the minus 1 floor very smoothly, and he did not find the power failure he imagined, and even the advertising lights in the compartment never flashed again, as if what he had just seen was just an illusion.
Pushing the shopping cart through the gray passage and coming to the underground parking lot, Liang Wenjing did not see Liang Ying's car.
"Hey, Mom." Liang Wenjing called Liang Ying.
But I don't know if it's because the signal in the basement is not very good or what, the conversation over there is intermittent.
"Here!" Fortunately, she saw Liang Ying's car turning around, so she waved her hand over there.
After a while, Liang Ying's car stopped in front of the two, and the three of them quickly put the contents of the shopping cart into the car.
Liang Ying has short slightly curly hair and a pair of silver-framed glasses, because she just came over from work, and she is still wearing a small black suit uniform. She looks like a capable lawyer, but she's actually just the owner of a small studio.
Dressing like this is purely a work necessity.
"How do you buy so many things?"
Liang Wenjing stuck out her tongue, "I accidentally bought too much." ”
"Okay, there are still a lot of cars behind, let's go." Liang Ying beckoned the two sisters and brothers to get on the car, but Liang Shuyu's bicycle was still on it, so he didn't go back with them. The mother and daughter soon drove away.
There are only two ways to get back to the mall from the B1 floor, either by elevator or by fire escape.
With what happened just now, of course Liang Shuyu couldn't be stupid enough to take the elevator.
Even if he knew that even if it did break down, there would be no chance of serious injury, and he was reluctant to take such a risk.
However, his fears proved to be unfounded.
Because when Liang Shuyu just walked up from the fire escape, he heard the security guard use the walkie-talkie to say that the elevator was out of order and someone was trapped!
Yes, the elevator did break down.
But fortunately, it is only a forced stop caused by an electrical failure, and the elevator is equipped with an emergency braking safety device, so it will not easily fall as depicted in the movie, and most of the scenes in the movie are to create greater tension points.
But it doesn't correspond to reality.
But such an unexpected situation did cast a shadow on Liang Shuyu.
All he now wants to know is whether it is true that the subway shutdown has led to a large number of casualties?
Is the crash of Deep Blue Airlines a rumor?
He had to go and confirm it himself.
Outside, pedestrians are still crowded, traffic is still rioting, and the whistles of the traffic police, the 120 alarm, the honking of motor vehicles and the abusive noise of the crowd are mixed together, like a pot of rotten porridge.
Looking up again, the empty sky was split in half by a white shadow that was about to disappear.
Half of it was a cloudless blue sunny day, and half of it was a bright red sunset in full swing.
The distant red shrouded half of the city in a bloody shadow, but this blue reflected the panicked cheeks of the people, like a man-made force, forcibly stripping people from the city.
It feels very weird and outrageous.
When Liang Shuyu's cart arrived at the subway entrance, it didn't take much effort to get what he wanted to determine from the mouths of the evacuees at the intersection.
Line 5 was indeed shut down due to a power failure.
But the casualties were not serious, but only because of a sudden forced stop, which caused a pregnant woman to fall out of her seat, causing massive bleeding.
There were other injuries, but there were no serious casualties among the passengers.
Liang Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Rumors are confusing.
It's that he's thinking too much. Calm down and think about it carefully, even if there is a major accident on the subway line 5, what does it mean? At most, it will just become tomorrow's news headlines, and the people of the whole country and the hot search of the news will mourn one after another, and then what?
will soon be covered by new entertainment hot searches, in addition to making people feel a trace of impermanence in life, what can it change?
The world will still work as usual.
