Chapter 2: The Cellar
It was dark in front of Su Xiao's eyes, and the whistling sound coming from above his head indicated that there was a very strong wind outside.
[Congratulations, you have entered the safe house. If you stay in the safe house for 1 hour, you will be bound to the safe house. If you leave during this period, the binding time will be refreshed and the safe house will be open to other survivors.]
【Time until hurricane disaster: 36min28s】
Only a fool would leave!
It was pitch dark in the cellar and she couldn't see anything, but luckily she brought a bag with her to work.
Lidya Su began to check what was in her bag.
A notebook, tissues, a bottle of water, 2 boiled eggs, two mooncakes, a bottle of milk that I didn't have time to drink yesterday, a large-capacity power bank, and half a pack of sanitary napkins.
not bad.
The cell phone in my backpack beeped with a message. I didn’t expect there was still a signal in this safe house.
The message came from the company group, and the manager tagged all employees: "@All staff, work is normal today, clock in as usual, and those who are late will have their attendance deducted."
Su Xiao: ...
This idiot wouldn't think this is just an ordinary wind!
A colleague asked immediately.
"It's true that the wind is too strong today. My electric bike was blown away. Can I clock in an hour later?"
"Yes, it's okay to be half an hour late. I'm almost at the company, but there was a traffic accident on the road, so it's very congested."
The manager quickly said, "If you had left half an hour earlier, this wouldn't have happened, right?"
Su Xiao clicked his tongue. How could he expect his boss to empathize with the cattle and horses?
Just as I was about to turn off my phone, I saw someone tagging me: "@Su Xiao, I just saw you. You suddenly disappeared on the road. Did you find a safe house?"
After a quick glance, I saw that the person speaking was Yang Haiyi.
A beautiful word comes out.
Su Xiao is a programmer and joined a game company after graduating from university.
Programmers all understand.
When the dog company was recruiting, they said the work was 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break. Other than that, there was one day off on weekends and two days off a week. The intern salary was 8k.
Who would have thought that the next day after joining the company, I would start working 996 for no apparent reason. When I entered the company at 8:30 in the morning, the office was almost full.
The management did not leave after six o'clock, and neither did the other employees. They stayed until nine o'clock in the evening before the management left one after another.
Su Xiao refused to be spoiled, and from the third day on, she went off work at 6 o'clock, picked up her bag and punched in on time. Yang Haiyi asked her why everyone else was working overtime but she was not.
Su Xiao replied, "Because I don't need overtime pay, the task has been completed within working hours."
Yang Haiyi, who is in his thirties, has poor work ability but is a great flatterer.
Because of this, I went to complain to my supervisor, saying that my work attitude was not right and suggested that another intern be hired.
Who knew that a big bug would appear in the game project the next day. This bug had existed for a long time and the programmers in the company were unable to fix it. It was Su Xiao who stepped in to solve the bug.
So Su Xiao was converted to a regular employee. Her salary was 12.8k, which was higher than Yang Haiyi's, so Yang Haiyi disliked her in many ways.
But now he is deliberately asking her in the group. He must have seen her disappear on the road and wanted to get some information.
Su Xiaoshou answered but didn't reply.
Close WeChat and turn on your phone's flashlight to illuminate the safe house for observation.
The room is not big, 3 meters high and covers an area of about 10 square meters. There is no light and the walls are made of concrete. It looks like a cellar. The only conspicuous thing is a red joystick on the middle wall.
Lidya Su walked over to check.
The joystick can be moved in the up, down, left, right and west directions, and it looks like it can be moved.
With a slight force, the joystick was pulled forward——
Her body tilted instantly, and it was very obvious that the entire cellar seemed to move forward a little, but because she let go of her hands, it was like an emergency brake.
Su Xiao immediately pulled it twice more, bang——
I didn't know what I had bumped into that made me unable to move. When I looked up, I found an electronic map on the wall in front of me. The map scanned the situation within a 1km radius with the cellar as the center.
The red dots are sparse and you can't get around them, so you will bump into them.
In addition, there is an introduction next to it.
The grey areas are land, the white areas are hollow areas, and the blue areas are water areas.
This safe house can only partially move in the gray area, and can only bypass the blue and white areas.
The phone rang and someone tagged Su Xiao again.
Su Xiao still took out his mobile phone to check, and the message still came from all the members mentioned by the company group manager.
Wenming: "Have you all found a safe house? I came to the company an hour and a half early and found one in the company. @Everyone"
Civilization is the company's personnel, and they are very stingy.
When Su Xiao came to apply for a job, the negotiation started with his minimum salary.
Although Su Xiao's resume is not the best in the world, it is definitely not bad. A basic salary of 10,000 yuan is her bottom line. Otherwise, she might as well spend more time doing part-time work at home.
And this man who runs the company is rolling up his sleeves at this time. He is really like an ox or a horse and does not think he is an ox or a horse. There is no hope!
Liu Yun: "The safe house should be able to accommodate many people. How about you let us in for a while?"
Guo Jiajia: "I have also looked all over the company, but there is no safe house. Where are you, Brother Wen?"
Wenming: "No, they said I have to stay in there for an hour before I can bind to the safe house. I can't come out now."
Liu Yun: "Can only one person stay in a safe house?"
Civilization: "But not very big"
Liu Yun: "It's better to have more people than just one. Brother Wen, please let us in. The wind is too strong and Jian Shou is scary."
Mr. Wang: "Where is @Civilization?"
Wenming: "Wait a moment, Mr. Wang, I want to chat with you privately."
Idiot.
It was obvious that this was no ordinary typhoon.
If the end of the world really is here, then the survivors who get the safe house will have the upper hand. Who wouldn't be jealous?
At this time, I am still thinking about flattering my boss, fearing that I have the ability to save others but not myself.
Su Xiao continued to study the cellar.
There is a place similar to a vent above the cellar. Touch it and a prompt message will pop up:
【Oxygen duration: 23h33m12s】
It's a countdown.
Although this thing is a safe house, it also needs oxygen storage.
In addition, a prompt pops up at the exit of the cellar after touching it:
[A Category 20 hurricane disaster is approaching, the safe house has not been bound yet, yes/no confirm to leave]
Of course not.
It's too dangerous outside.
After searching every inch of the cellar and finding no other information, Su Xiao sat down to rest.
At this moment, there was a loud banging sound coming from the exit of the safe house, as if someone had knocked it with gravity. If you didn't know, you would think it was someone knocking it.
Su Xiao prepared to go and take a look.
But as soon as I approached the cellar door, I heard the system broadcast.
[The hurricane disaster has officially arrived. This disaster will last for 8 hours. Survivors in the safe house will not suffer any negative effects from the ongoing disaster. Other survivors please try to survive.]
