April 1. Sunday. Night, 22:10.

"Gee, why are all these shops closed?" Hai Mei did not wear a school uniform, but an Italian lady's outfit bought in Hong Kong, and she looked disappointedly at the closing Uniqlo, carrying an empty shopping bag.

"It's all your fault, it took half an hour to look at the shoes on the third floor, and I completely forgot the time!" Ding Zi didn't mention the shopping bag, but the bag contained a pair of Pingguo brand jeans that he had just bought for 699 yuan.

On the sixth floor of the Future Dream Mall, all the stores have been closed, and only the salespeople who are in a hurry to close are left.

"Okay, don't count me well, go home quickly, I have to go to school early tomorrow morning, and it's miserable to be late." The college entrance examination is coming in two months, and it was on Sunday that Haimei ran out without telling her mother, "Ding Zi, when will your father come back from the United States?" ”

"Oh – next month, he called home last night and said he brought me an iPhone 4S." Ding Zi raised his eyebrows. She was wearing a Japanese brand of sportswear, and the Nike on her feet was bought with Haimei at the * store. They were both only 18 years old and in their third year of high school at the same school. Ding Zi has the hairstyle of a twenty-five-year-old woman, and her long straight hair hangs down to her shoulders, which often makes men of different ages turn back. Although he still has the loli accent of a high school student, his eyes are mature beyond his age, and if he changes into a seductive dress and puts on the right makeup, it will make many young women envious and jealous. She and Haemi often go in and out of pairs, and there are scandals of their same-sex love in the class.

The school is next to the Future Dream Building, and in the past few years, all the old houses in the neighborhood have been demolished, and tens of thousands of yuan of high-end commercial houses of one square meter have been built, and most of the students are children of wealthy families. Hae-mi lives in a mansion worth tens of millions, even though her father is only a small section chief in the district government.

"Wow, awesome! If only my dad could go to the U.S. often. ”

Ding Zi stepped down the escalator, looked down at the atrium on the sixth floor, and felt dizzy for the first time. "Later, when we get into college, we will go to the United States to play together, and my dad has many friends in California." She forced herself to cheer up, shook her beautiful long hair, grabbed Haemi's hand, and said lightly, "Do you want to go to the United States to study?" Let's go together. ”

"Wife, so loving, kiss one!"

"To die! Beware of falling! ”

Like a flirting couple, the two girls ride the escalator down to the fifth floor. Ding Zi turned his head outside, looked at the spacious atrium, and the colorful shops opposite, and sighed silently, but was caught by Haimei: "Wife, you don't seem to be happy?" Is there wood? ”

"Oh, no." Ding Zi barely squeezed out a smile, but involuntarily looked upstairs, "Go down." ”

Walking up the escalator from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, a young man in black clothes and black pants came up in the opposite direction. He was a few meters below the sight of the two girls, looking up at them as they were belatedly leaving. He looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with a thin circle of fluff around his mouth, and his long, thick black hair showed that he would not be a good student, especially with those sharp eyes, which did not look like a high school student at all. But he is not like that kind of little Ah Fei, he can't find the slightest frivolity in his body, and looking at the black clothes is more like engaging in art work.

In an instant, Ding Zi had already decided that this young man was by no means an ordinary person. She forgot when and where she was, and even her best friend Haemi next to her forgot it, and looked directly at the young man's eyes full of haze.

Finally, her escalator went halfway down and his escalator went up halfway. He and her, face to face, at the same altitude level, separated by two narrow handrails, as long as they put their heads to the middle side, they could touch each other's noses.

The four eyes met and passed by. Ding Zi looked back at the back of the young man walking upward. He didn't look back.

April 1. Sunday. Night, 22:19.

When Ding Zi still stubbornly looked back at the young man's back, the escalator under his feet shook. She heard Haemi screaming, but luckily she clung to the handrail, otherwise she would have rolled off immediately.

The second shaking brought Ding Zi back to her senses, she half-squatted down and grabbed the handrail, pulled Haimei, and shouted: "Be careful! ”

The entire Future Dream Building was shaking, and the escalator continued to run down, but they didn't dare to run to the fourth floor, for fear that they would be shaken and fly out together.

All the lights began to flicker, and amid Haemi's screams, the escalator under her feet stopped running.

April 1. Sunday. Night, 22:20.

Violently shook and paused, but then sank rapidly. In the shaking and loud noise, the relative position of Ding Zi and the fourth floor did not change, but his heart felt floating upward, and even the tips of his hair rose upward......

Could it be that the entire Future Dream Building is sinking rapidly? The entire mall turned into a huge elevator descending at high speed?

Upstairs, things are constantly falling, there are chandeliers, merchandise, furniture, and people dancing and screaming! Is it the audience at the end of the cinema on the ninth floor? Some people did not fall directly to the bottom floor, but hit the escalator on the fifth or sixth floor, which is probably worse than falling to the bottom.

Haimei broke free of Ding Zi's hand, stepped on the escalator that stopped running, and ran down by herself.

"Don't run!" At the same time as Ding Zi shouted, the escalator under his feet suddenly broke!

Haimei ran down without her life, and ran to the fourth floor without dying, and turned around and Ding Zi was already separated from the abyss.

The unlucky Ding Zi stayed on the escalator, with the suspended world at his feet, and the half-cut escalator was like a disconnected suspension bridge. With her life hanging by a thread, she didn't have the courage to stand up, and when the whole person was about to slide down, like the wind and autumn leaves were crumbling, a hand firmly grasped her.

Ding Zi saw the eyes flying by like meteors. The light dimmed and she couldn't see the face, and when it came back on, she had been lifted up two feet. One hand was firmly on her waist, and the other was wrapped around her chest. She clings to him without resistance, becoming a part of him and at his disposal.

The boy's hand was as hard as an iron ring.

When she looked him in the eye again, all the lights in the Future Dream Mansion went out, and screams rang out one after another.

It is conceivable that on the violently shaking escalator, the young man turned around and saw that the descending escalator was broken into two, and she was on the edge of the abyss from which she could never recover, so she directly turned over and jumped to the descending escalator.

Heroes save beauty.

The darkness continued, and the shaking and sinking had stopped. Ding Zi lay in the arms of a strange young man, smelling the smell of puberty in his hair in his collar, listening to the drumming of his heartbeat in his chest, and heavy gasps, a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind—if only this moment had frozen until the end of the world.

Suddenly, the hand wrapped around her chest went down close to her hip, making her feel a little uneasy, and even with those good feelings, she couldn't tolerate it...... But I'm worried that once I resist, will the two of them fall into the abyss in the darkness together?

Soon her worries became unnecessary, and the teenager reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out his mobile phone to light up the surroundings. The small mobile phone screen can't shine far, but this little light, like a star in the dark night, makes them confirm that they are still alive in the world.

The phone turned to Ding Zi, and she saw the screen of the Northern Lights.

His other hand wrapped around her waist, and he turned cautiously to lie face down with her. On the crumbling and broken escalator, the two people didn't even say an interjection, they understood shoulder to shoulder, climbed up with their hands and feet, and with a little more strength, they would fall down with the ladder.

As long as she leaned on the young man's shoulder, she was extremely relieved and believed that she would live.

It took a minute of slow climbing for the two to get out of the damn escalator. The boy gasped for breath and collapsed in the fifth-floor hallway, stretching his limbs and yelling.

Ding Zi took out his iPhone 4, in addition to illuminating him who was lying to the sky, he also wanted to call Haimei - but there was no signal.

"You...... You...... Is there still a signal? That was the first thing she said to him. She regretted not even asking his name, and directly using "you" seemed impolite and educated.

The boy didn't speak, he lay on the ground and shook his head, his pale face shrouded in the light of the phone screen, as if he was from another world.

Suddenly, a glass lampshade fell from the upper floor, startling him to roll over and jump, and if he was half a second late, his head would have been shattered. Ding Zi was frightened, the young man had already taken her hand and ran to the depths of the mall, probably afraid that if he approached the atrium railing, he would be hit by something or someone falling from above.

She still didn't resist in the slightest, and a layer of hot sweat broke out from his clenched palm.

There was a mess under my feet, and from time to time I would trip over something, and there was a glass ballast all over the floor. With two mobile phones, I can't see the whole picture of my surroundings, so I can only walk forward like a blind man touching an elephant.

Sure enough, Ding Zi stepped on a spherical object, and before his body lost balance, a thought flashed - stepping on a human head!

Screams pierced the atrium, eliciting different echoes from the various floors of the mall. She subconsciously propped herself to the ground, but felt a hard thigh. It was not a young man's legs, motionless, stiff as iron, more like a dead man. The other hand touched a hard, smooth shoulder, almost stacked on top of the leg—either two poor corpses, or a man torn apart.

Ding Zi let out a second terrifying scream.

What frightened her even more was that the whole ground was covered with corpses, all of them mutilated, as stiff as stones, but barely a trace of blood could be touched!

Finally, a little mobile phone light shines on a white arm on the ground. Ding Zi's almost broken heart was restored - it turned out to be a fallen dummy model, and she was still wearing a fashionable and expensive women's dress!

The boy pulled her up, and she curled up in his arms, their phones shining on the devastated ground, as if they had arrived at a bloodless slaughterhouse.

Only then did I hear his first words, but I said to myself: "This day, has finally come?" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ding Zi, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

I didn't dare to look him in the eyes again, and when she was about to shout "Haimei", a few dots of light flashed in the corner of her eye.

The two turned their heads at the same time, and the light of their mobile phones illuminated an open elevator, and several people climbed out of it in turn.

When the last man climbed out, he took another look into the elevator and ran out in a panic. Frightened cries were heard from the elevator. Ding Zi hesitated to run up to help, only to find that the elevator stopped between two floors, bare the cables in the stairwell, and the people in the elevator had to climb out of a narrow gap.

Another woman's head poked out of the gap, Ding Zi hurriedly lowered down and grabbed the other party's hand, and the young man also lay down to help. Seeing that this young woman was about to climb out, they only heard the sound of the cable in the elevator shaft, and it broke in front of their eyes!

The whole elevator went down rapidly, and the lower half of the poor woman's body remained in the elevator and did not come out.

The terrible screams, and the splash of some kind of liquid, echoed in the Future Dream Building.

A few seconds later, opening his eyes again, using his phone to illuminate the empty elevator shaft and the mutilated upper body, Ding Zi vomited the dinner in his stomach.
