All kinds of complicated information were changing in her mind, and it was already difficult for her to use her mental energy to keep the live broadcast room from being stuck or disconnected. It was difficult to maintain her usual thinking speed under the onslaught of such a large amount of information.
Jiang Ji pinched his fingers again and looked back subconsciously.
The red paint on the three phones had peeled off, and several of the buttons were badly worn out, so they could only be distinguished by connecting the upper and lower digits.
It was this calm glance that reminded Jiang Ji that when she took the elevator just now, it was the rush hour after get off work.
I thought it was troublesome just now, but now I start to wonder. Even if most of the residents live alone and cannot go out, the flow of people during peak hours is only three or four times, which is abnormally small for this apartment.
"I go to bed at ten, please come before my ten o'clock."
The old lady in room 608 said "My ten o'clock"
Jiang Ji only thought of one possibility.
In fact, there is no problem with the three times on these three phones.
And the time on the phone is the real time on these floors.
Residents on different floors of the apartment follow the timetable and travel at different times when there are only two elevators.
The time for the first to third calls will be postponed by 2 hours respectively.
The old lady’s “ten o’clock” is the eight o’clock on Jiang Ji’s phone.
They need to arrive at Room 608 before eight o'clock to visit their neighbors!
It was already seven o'clock when they came out, and there was less than an hour left. Any delay would exceed the required time.
Basic cookies are not difficult to make and only take ten minutes to bake, but there is an initial process of softening the butter and mixing the dough.
Feeling a sense of urgency, Jiang Ji broke into a jog. Just now he thought he had plenty of time, but now he had to speed up.
If something unexpected happened in the public kitchen, their first day's mission would end in failure.
If you fail to complete the task, you will enter the punishment phase.
No one knows what the punishment will be.
This is a weird world, and it is not advisable to confront Xincun TV City head-on. Jiang Ji also does not intend to openly become the enemy of the weird camp now. She wants to step on the bottom line of the program team and the weird camp to make her presence felt.
Jiang Ji ran to the elevator, but found a yellow "Under Maintenance" sign in front of one of the elevators. The elevator door was half open, and there were ladders and various tools piled inside, but no maintenance personnel were seen.
She did not hear the elevator stop or the footsteps, and she didn't know who released it. The other elevator stopped at the 46th floor and did not come down.
Right next to the two elevators, a new elevator suddenly appeared.
This elevator is more spacious than the other two. The elevator door is twice as wide as the other two elevators, and the steel plate above the door frame is 03.
Stop at the first floor at this time.
After Jiang Ji pressed the elevator button, the elevator door slowly opened.
There was no one in the elevator. There were some scraps of paper and tape on the floor. A cold wind mixed with the stench of a decayed corpse blew in my face.
The interior of the car, including the ceiling, was covered in horrific graffiti painted in blood. It looked like the work of a child, and the characters were extremely exaggerated and weird, with some missing arms and legs.
Jiang Ji did not enter.
Rules three and one read.
[The elevators in this apartment are regularly inspected and maintained. If you see a yellow plastic sign saying [Under Maintenance] at the elevator door, please choose to take another elevator or take the stairs instead.]
[There are only two elevators in this apartment, both of which are passenger elevators. If you see a freight elevator, please do not try to enter. ]
She couldn't be sure of the correctness of this rule. The best way was not to go in, but there were other options.
The public kitchen was on the 14th floor, and Jiang Ji doubted whether he could climb up there. Besides, the corridor was an unknown area, and it was easy to run into the "outsiders" mentioned in the rules.
The best thing to do is to wait for the elevator to come down.
The only remaining elevator was already running slowly, and it had to stop and wait for a while on each floor, and its descent speed was heart-wrenching.
The 03 elevator that appeared out of nowhere quickly closed its door.
The up button connected three elevators. No one entered and it remained on. The elevators kept opening and closing in front of her. The elevators were empty and quiet. Jiang Ji felt a chill down her spine when she saw the comments in the live broadcast room.
[Can’t the wife see the dense crowds of people in the elevator? ]
[Come in quickly! They are waving at you with a smile. ]
[Is this the zombie elevator in the New World Apartment? ]
[I remember that many people died in New World Apartments. Was this 03 elevator built by them specifically for transporting corpses?]
Jiang Ji quietly moved to the side.
At this time, a series of footsteps sounded behind me.
The sound came from outside the apartment, getting closer and closer. Soon, a too bright blue light reflected on the elevator door, and a cold and rotten face flashed by, with something in its hand emitting an even colder white light.
It was a hatchet, stained with blood and rust.
Jiang Ji: “…”
What kind of luck is this?
The blue raincoat that suddenly appeared blocked the road outside, and the passenger elevator she had been longing for was still on the 36th floor.
Jiang Ji could only look in the direction of the stairs, where he saw a dark shadow with a hunched back, carrying a corpse wrapped in a black shroud on its back.
The head of the corpse was facing her direction. Its skin was a particularly dark grey-blue colour, with corpse spots covering most of its face.
If it weren't for that corpse-green color, the two sides would have almost merged into one.
The stairs... don't look very safe either.
Jiang Ji could already feel the heavy and excited breathing behind her, stimulating the skin on the back of her neck. She took a deep breath, took a step forward, and when elevator 03 opened again, she rushed in.
The man in the blue raincoat didn't expect that she would actually dare to go in. He quickened his pace and tried to stop her. His blistered hand stretched out from his raincoat, but he was still a step too slow and failed to stop the elevator door from closing.
The man in blue raincoat pressed the elevator button angrily, but the screen in the car showed that the elevator was full. The elevator would not stop and kept going up.
03 Jiang Ji in the elevator let out a breath slowly.
This is a dangerous multiple-choice question.
Let her make the right choice in the current "desperate situation".
The bronze plaques above the other two elevators are passenger elevators, while the bronze plaque above this "non-existent" elevator is 03.
Since it is not clearly written as a freight elevator, it does not comply with the rules.
Passenger and freight elevators.
Passenger elevators carry people, and freight elevators carry goods.
Viewers said that this is the 03 elevator that is not usually seen and is also called the "zombie elevator". Are the moving corpses "passengers" or "cargo"?
Jiang Ji had just moved two steps to the side, which gave him a chance to change his angle and see the nameplate in the car, which showed the number of passengers.
If this is a freight elevator that does not allow passengers, there should only be loads but no people on it, which means it is not a freight elevator.
Moreover, the audience in the live broadcast room said that this 03 elevator was used to transport corpses, and the corpse carrier she just saw walked up the stairs.
This means that elevator 03 is not for dead bodies.
At least not at this moment.
There were no maintenance personnel in the passenger elevator [under maintenance], only various tools and equipment, all of which were carrying "things". Compared with the 03 elevator that carried zombies, this elevator was more like a freight elevator.
So she guessed that "there are only two elevators in the apartment" refers to an unchanging quantity, or a form of consciousness.
Elevator 03, which appeared when one of the elevators was malfunctioning and under repair, is the zombie elevator, or passenger elevator.
When the two passenger elevators are operating normally, elevator 03 is the freight elevator.
He figured it all out at the critical moment and temporarily escaped the threat of the blue raincoat, but Jiang Ji did not dare to let his guard down at all.
She couldn't see anything now. There was only her figure in the huge and quiet elevator. However, Jiang Ji felt crowded and surrounded, and even her internal organs were squeezed by the invisible existence, making it hard for her to breathe.
She looked at her blurry shadow in the steel plate, as if she saw a row of pale corpses clinging to her.
