40 Ruined City-Day 9

◎Extreme Escape 2◎

After setting the plan, the two split into two groups, one approaching from the left and one from the right.

From Yan Lan's perspective, Ji Zhou and Snowball stood out from the darkness, shouted, and then threw a pile of pebbles at the man in black.

Ji Zhou's aim was very good, and almost every stone hit the man in black's head.

The men in black who were shot looked in the direction from which the stones came, but did not go forward to chase them. Instead, they hesitated and faced the room, as if they were bound by other tasks.

"Come on, you little minions, you can't catch me."

Ji Zhou threw another pile of pebbles, each of which hit the target. This time, he not only annoyed the man in black, but also deliberately provoked him.

Yan Lan stood on the other side, watching with fear, he was so bold.

This time the man in black did not hesitate. He roared angrily and chased after them one by one.

Ji Zhou ran away quickly with Snowball. He was indeed faster than himself. In the blink of an eye, he and the man in black disappeared.

The warehouse door was empty, and Yan Lan seized the opportunity and rushed forward.

This is indeed a warehouse, but it is not open. Instead, it is a mini warehouse like a courier locker. The mini warehouse is divided into two floors, each one meter high.

Time waits for no one, so she quickly walked towards the first mini storage.

This type of locker cannot be opened outwards, so she reached out and pressed on the iron door as if she was picking up a package.

The metal cabinet door made a click but didn't open.

She frowned and began to feel around.

Sure enough, there is a white panel on the top of the cabinet door. Just like picking up a package, you need to enter a password. The only difference is that the normal cabinet password is numbers, but here you need to answer questions.

I thought it was like a hot pot restaurant where I could just come in, grab the supplies and leave, but now it seems that won’t work.

Without thinking too much, she looked at the question about the mini warehouse in front of her. It was a common sense multiple-choice question.

"Which country in the world does not allow the installation of air conditioners?"

She thought for a second and decisively chose "Switzerland" among the following four options.

With a "click" sound, the cabinet door automatically opened from the inside to the outside.

She opened all the doors and looked inside, and found that there was an LCD TV.

"yeah!"

She exclaimed silently, and with a sweep of her hand, she squeezed the TV into the first compartment of the large wooden box, and at the same time closed the open cabinet door.

The second one was a Sudoku puzzle, which took her a little time to solve.

There was a small box inside, and she stuffed it into the big wooden box without any hesitation.

Next, she did a number of multiple-choice and true-or-false questions. Just when she was about to immerse herself in the ocean of knowledge, there was a noise outside the door.

She took a deep breath and took a big step back.

Snowball was not around and there was no one to guard her. She actually forgot about this and the group of men in black came back quietly.

The sound seemed to be coming closer, so she quickly adjusted her breathing, turned around and ran to the end of the warehouse.

He lit up the panel, quickly answered a question, and squatted down to squeeze in.

She didn't dare close the cabinet door completely, so she put her hand on the inside of the iron cabinet, leaving a slight gap, which allowed her to clearly hear the sounds outside.

A group of men in black walked in, chattering incoherently. She couldn't understand what they were saying, but she felt her breathing quicken and her scalp tingle.

If they find out that I'm hiding here, I'll just be waiting for death.

Her mind raced through all her actions since she came in. She should have closed all the cabinet doors, but this operation was so frequent and repetitive that she actually doubted herself for a moment.

Huddled in the dark and cramped environment, she could clearly hear her own violently beating heart.

As the conversation and footsteps grew closer, her heart lifted as well. She carefully held her breath in her chest, fearing to disturb the other person.

The quieter it was, the calmer she became.

The warehouse is so big, it is impossible for them to discover the problem so quickly and go straight to the end.

So they should be doing a routine inspection, and once the inspection is over, they can find other ways to get out.

It was dark inside the warehouse. She could see the men in black outside through a crack, but the men in black outside could not see inside.

This warehouse is on the lower level, just high enough to reach the black-clad man's thighs.

Suddenly, a man in black squatted down in front of her, with only an iron door between his face and hers.

She was so frightened that her hair stood on end and cold sweat broke out on her back. She immediately covered her mouth with her hands to stop the scream that was about to come out.

She watched the man in black stretch out his hand, and just as she imagined herself being carried out like a bird in a cage, the iron cabinet door pressed inward with a sound, and the tiny gap closed completely.

The heavy stone in her chest fell down and then rose up again, locking her out from the outside. How could she get out?

The first thing I did was to find a way to contact Ji Zhou.

But the shocking thing was that the chat panel that had just been used had no signal. After several messages were swallowed up, she sighed in frustration.

Maybe it's because this is the system NPC's territory, and the signal is blocked.

In this place where no one can help her, she really wants to cry but has no tears left.

She and Ji Zhou agreed to meet at the old place. If Ji Zhou couldn't see her, he would probably guess the reason and come to find her.

Now I just hope that the other party will come earlier so that she won’t suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen in this small mini warehouse.

She tried to breathe as slowly as possible, but after half an hour, she still felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. She reoriented herself, leaning back and putting her head near the cabinet door opening. With her hands, she squeezed the door and pushed it back, finally revealing a tiny gap.

The air outside flowed in due to the air pressure, her nose moved, and she finally breathed in oxygen.

She didn't know how long she waited like this. Just when she was almost dizzy, there was movement outside the cabinet door again.

Yan Lan was like a frightened deer, her mind was highly concentrated again. She had experienced several frights in one day, and her little heart really couldn't take it anymore.

"Yan Lan?"

"Yan Lan?"

It seemed like someone was calling her, and the voice sounded familiar.

She put her ear to the metal cabinet door and listened carefully.

"Yan Lan?"

There really was someone there. She was shocked and her mind came out of chaos.

There was not enough oxygen in the mini storage, so in order to save energy, he knocked lightly on the metal cabinet door as a response.

As agreed, Ji Zhou lured away the man in black and returned to the empty room where he had temporarily rested in the morning.

In order to give Yan Lan more time to explore, he even took the man in black around a few more times. But when he arrived at the agreed location, he didn't see Yan Lan.

Maybe he was on his way back, he told himself.

He sat stiffly on the outdoor lounge chair, constantly clicking on the panel to check the time. Every time the number jumped, his fear and anxiety increased.

As time passed, he became aware of something amiss and began to contact Yan Lan. However, the shocking thing was that he could not contact her at all. However, his cousin Yuanyuan, who was in another copy, could still receive his test message.

An inexplicable panic surged in his heart, his intuition telling him that Yan Lan must be in danger. They were on a mission together, and if anything happened to Yan Lan, he would never forgive himself.

So he decided to go back to the warehouse to take a look. A group of men in black gathered at the door of the warehouse again, and everything was the same as what he saw in the morning.

But his intuition told him that Yan Lan was definitely inside, so he once again led the man in black away and took a shortcut back to the warehouse.

The warehouse was empty and silent. He walked alone on the concrete floor, and every footstep felt like an urging knocking on his heart.

When he called the other person's name again, a slight response came from not far away.

He was always calm, but when he saw the thin body falling out of the low and narrow iron cabinet, a trace of gloom appeared in his heart for the first time in his life, as if there was a ferocious beast living in his heart, ready to break through the defense line at any time.

"Let's get out of here first."

There was a slight tug on his arm. Ji Zhou looked down at Yan Lan's pale face and said distressedly, "Okay."

He supported Yan Lan and found an empty shop not far from the warehouse and went in. As soon as he closed the door, he couldn't wait to take out a folding chair from the backpack and set it up.

"Sit down and rest for a while."

Yan Lan didn't act pretentiously and sat down. Snowball followed her all the way and now landed on her shoulder, pressing her with his paws.

After she sat down, Ji Zhou walked aside and sat quietly, not knowing what he was doing.

Yan Lan glanced at him and closed her eyes to rest. Due to lack of oxygen, she felt a little dizzy and vomited, as if she had been to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

"Come, take some medicine first." A gentle voice came from my ears.

She opened her eyes drowsily, and her gaze met Ji Zhou's.

Ji Zhou shifted his gaze slightly. "I didn't know what medications were needed for hypoxia, so I changed some. This is glucose, and this is Rhodiola rosea."

After saying that, he considerately inserted the straw into her hand.

Yan Lan felt warm in her heart, and took the glass bottle and took a sip: "These are all useful, thank you."

Ji Zhou then took out another outdoor folding chair, set it aside and sat next to her: "As long as it's useful."

After drinking the medicine, the negative state of hypoxia disappeared and the health value was restored a lot.

She finally had the energy to open the game panel. When she looked at the time, she exclaimed, "It's already 3:30. Let's quickly distribute the supplies."

Ji Zhou: "Don't worry, take a good rest first."

Yan Lan shook her head: "I'm fully recovered now."

To prove herself, she raised one arm and swung it.

Ji Zhou chuckled and said lovingly, "Okay, then after distributing the supplies, take a good rest."

"no problem!"

Yan Lan looked well-behaved. There wasn't much time left, and since they had made a lot of gains today, there was no need to search again.

She placed all the supplies she found in the mini-warehouse on the ground. She hadn't had time to count them before due to the emergency, but now there was a small pile.

"Okay, it's all here."

Ji Zhou didn't show much interest, he just curled his lips and smiled at her: "Then divide it according to your preferences."

Yan Lan's face lit up with smiles when she heard this: "Haha, then I won't be polite!"

Except for the first few items, she didn't even look at the other supplies in the mini warehouse and stuffed them directly into the big wooden box. In the end, she counted them and there were no less than 30 items.

There are 12 prop cards, 8 visitor invitation cards, 2 automatic cleaning cards, and 2 expansion cards.

The cards were divided equally between the two of them, but these prop cards were all auxiliary types, and combat-type cards like teleportation cards did not appear.

The last time I got a teleportation card was by exchanging some durian with Chen Shengsheng. Maybe I can look for Chen Shengsheng again when I have the chance.

She also got a lot of electronic products. She got an LCD TV and a game controller, and Ji Zhou got a tablet and a Bluetooth speaker.

In addition, her favorite is a pair of Martin boots. Since she often runs outside, a pair of wear-resistant shoes is essential.

She once asked the famous designer Zhu Yuanyuan to draw a picture for her, but the shoes produced were completely different from the real ones. Either her feet smelled or they felt stuffy.

But this pair is just right, the size is right, it is comfortable enough, and the quality is good. I can wear it for half a year without any problem.

She used the expansion card on the spot. The last expansion was a horizontal expansion, and the backpack grid increased from 10 grids to 20 grids.

This time it is a vertical expansion. The original upper limit of one grid was 1,000, but now it has become 5,000.

She suddenly had an idea and tried to stack the freezers in one compartment. It actually worked. The last compartment could hold 5 freezers, which was probably related to the five-fold increase in capacity.

She looked at the mostly empty backpack compartments with satisfaction, and then thought of the tens of thousands of upgrade materials piled up in the RV, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are still many mini-storage warehouses that haven't opened yet. If I had known, I would have acted faster."

Seeing Ji Zhou's slightly reproachful look, she immediately changed her words.

"But life is the most important thing. Supplies and other things are nothing."

After resting for an hour, the two were teleported out of the copy.

The first thing Yan Lan did when she came back was to check the group messages. The number of messages on the regional channel instantly reached 99+. She didn't read them but directly clicked into the "Let's Get Rich Together" group.

Ji Zhou: "Is everyone safe?"

Shi Yuanyuan: "Safe, my cousin. Guess what treasure I got this time?"

Yan Lan became interested: "What treasure, item card or professional skill?"

Shi Yuanyuan: "Ahaha, you guessed it right, I got a professional delivery man this time! Delivery! With this, I have food to eat every day!"

Yan Lan: "Congratulations!"

Yan Lan still remembers that at the beginning, he worried about food every day, but now he has such a great job. She is happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

Yuan Zhou: "By the way, Yan Lan, what did you gain?"

Yan Lan: "Haha, I found a hot pot restaurant. Come over and have hot pot tomorrow!"

Shi Yuanyuan: "Really? That's great! I've been craving it for a month!"

Luo Wen: "But you only have permission to invite one visitor?"

Yan Lan: "Don't worry, I got four new ones, everyone come over here."

Yuan Zhou: "Wa Qu, awesome! I'm going to have a big meal tomorrow!"

Shi Yuanyuan: "I want one too, I want one too!"

After happily ending the chat, Yan Lan went to practice martial arts, hurriedly ate, washed up and went to bed.
