Chapter 2 Trapped

It seems that a young couple who used to live here were sitting at the dining table eating the noodle soup delivered by takeout. When they were halfway through the meal, they suddenly encountered something that made them panic and rushed out desperately. One of the buckets of soup was spilled on the table.

Because they were too flustered, they kicked down the trash can on the side. They didn't bother to change into the leather shoes and high-heeled shoes they usually wear when they went out, but rushed out wearing slippers.

Zu Li looked at the living room in front of him, and the scene of the young couple rushing out in confusion and fear vaguely appeared in his mind.

It's just that what happened to them made them rush out so frightened that they even spilled the soup noodles on the table and kicked the trash can?

"Could it be... that there was a sudden flood last night? The couple found out, so they rushed out desperately, because they rushed too fast, so the soup noodles were spilled, the shoes were too late to change, and the door was not even closed. "

Zu Li clasped his hands tightly, sweat slowly oozing out of his palms: "And because I was drunk and slept too much, I didn't know anything, could it be that I'm the only one left in this whole building? People? Everyone else fled?

This thought made him cold, and the chill in his heart deepened.

"No, what kind of sudden flood can submerge the entire city in half a day, which is totally unreasonable."

Although Zu Li drank the film last night, he still had some impressions. He had at least supper until about 1:00 in the morning. At that time, there was no rain at all. of floods can submerge a modern city in less than seven hours.

Looking at the living room, Zu Li didn't rush in immediately, but felt the unspeakable strangeness. It seemed that there was a terrifying monster hidden in the living room. As long as he entered, the monster would suddenly rush in and tear himself to pieces. .

When his eyes fell on the phone on the coffee table in the living room, he shuddered smartly and secretly screamed "Damn". Because he was too panic, he was suddenly caught in this incredible scene, so he just thought of rushing out of the corridor to call someone, but Forget you can still make phone calls.

Zu Li didn't bring his mobile phone with him, so he returned home immediately, found his mobile phone on the bedside table, and contacted his girlfriend Wang Lan.

Wang Lan is two years younger than him, a native of the city, and works in the same company as him. Although the two have known each other for more than half a year, the relationship has not been established for more than two months. Wang Lan has not told her parents that she still pays attention every night. Need to go home to live, and did not live with Zurich.

When I called Wang Lan, I found that the mobile phone had no signal, so I couldn't make a call at all.

"What's the matter? The signal has been good here."

Su Li made several calls in succession, including his parents' phone number and his best friend Li Yongsheng's phone number, but they couldn't get through.

"How come there is no signal at all?" Zu Li immediately called the police for help, but there was also no response. Cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead, and the current situation became more and more strange.

Not only did his mobile phone have no signal, but the wireless network his mobile phone was connected to also had no signal, and all WeChat and QQ in his mobile phone were disconnected.

He wanted to turn on the TV reluctantly, only to realize that the power was cut off.

Immediately following Zu Li, he thought of the landline phone in the living room of the house where the young couple lived.

The phone doesn't have any signal, what about this phone?

He didn't have a landline, and if he wanted to make a call from that landline, he had to go to the house of the young couple.

Zu Li came to the door of the house where the young couple lived again.

The security door was still open, and Zu Li stared at the landline phone on the coffee table in the living room. He had a faint feeling in his heart that the phone might not work like a cell phone, but he still walked in.

Although he didn't report much hope, he couldn't let go of any possibility of being able to contact the outside world.

in the door,

Zu Li smelled an odor, and his eyes fell on the trash can on the side.

He smelled a rancid odor from the spilled trash can.

Approaching the trash can, he saw some leftovers, but it was moldy and smelled rancid. Looking at the dining table, there were also a lot of mold spots on the noodles that had been spilled on the table.

Zu Li stretched out his hand and touched the dining table, and found a layer of ash.

"If they really felt something was wrong in the middle of the night last night and escaped, and it only took half a day, how could there be such a thick layer of ash on the table, and the food would not be moldy and rotten, could it be that they have been away from home for many days? "

"No matter what you think... This house..." Zu Li felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart, and he was afraid of this dead house, but he didn't leave. Looking at the landline on the coffee table, Zu Li endured it. Uneasy in my heart, I picked up the phone that was also covered with dust, but found that there was no sound in the phone.

Zu Li's heart sank, but he still called the police without giving up.

Sure enough, there was no response at all.

This machine can't get through.

The last glimmer of hope was also lost, but the strange feeling this house gave him became stronger and stronger. Zu Li finally couldn't bear it anymore. He threw the telephone receiver and rushed out.

After rushing to the corridor, Zu Li took a deep breath, the fear in his heart lessened a little, but the feeling of helplessness became stronger and stronger.

"What am I going to do now? Did everyone really leave? I was the only one left here? But even if everyone in the city left, why is there no signal at all? Why is this? How is Wang Lan now, has she left safely?"

Zu Li felt confused in his head, and after a while, he forced himself to calm down, raised his head, and saw the elevator at the end of the corridor.

The flood completely submerged the building below the 30th floor. Even if the elevator could still run, it was impossible to go down by the elevator, but Zu Li thought about it and walked over. He tried the elevator buttons, but there was no response. A power outage stopped operation.

Zu Li pushed open the two wooden doors on one side of the corridor, and inside the doors was a stairway.

He walked in and saw that the stairs leading to the twenty-ninth floor had been flooded with water, and the water surface was only four or five centimeters from the ground on the thirty-ninth floor.

The water looked cloudy, and Zuli saw plastic basins, towels, garbage bags and other debris floating in it, and even a dead mouse floating in it.

Zu Li squatted down, hesitated for a moment, then lightly touched the water in front of him with his hand, then shrank back again, watching the water droplets drip down his fingers and landed on the water, making small ripples, and then , he took a deep breath.
