Copy 2
Su Wanxing reacted very quickly. He pulled the big orange cat away with one hand and smoothed down the standing hair on his head with the other hand. He bent his waist and quickly moved away from the window, alerting the people around him who had not noticed.
“Run—”
Those who value their lives naturally put into practice the nature of a tape recorder. Although they did not understand why, they suddenly panicked and took a few steps back.
But there were also a small number of people who felt their interest was dampened and stood there shrugging their shoulders in confusion.
There was no deafening rumbling sound, but a clearly visible thunder emerged from the dark clouds, and its trajectory was like a winding snake.
There was a loud "crackling" sound, and a fire burst like an explosion, and sparks flew everywhere at a rapid speed.
In the blink of an eye, the high-quality windows that were praised as miracles were shattered in an instant, without even a chance to crack slowly.
Then, the stable building was startled by a terrifying and violent shaking. This kind of shaking was different from an earthquake. There was no regularity at all. The shaking seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed as if the ground under the feet would collapse in the next second.
The moment Su Wanxing felt the explosion, she could only lie down against the wall in the corner, keeping her head and tail as low as possible to keep Daju safely under her body. Even so, her calves were still stepped on several times by the running crowd.
The flying glass and wall fragments hit every inch of Su Wanxing's clothes on his back.
Gradually, she no longer felt the sound of the crowd running, and only the sounds of the fire and the sobbing of people remained in her ears.
Su Wanxing then sat up and turned to look back.
The place where he had just stood had become a ruin, like a corner of a cake that had been mercilessly swallowed by the huge mouth of the abyss, leaving behind a twisted tooth mark of complacency and satisfaction.
Those who didn't run away were probably blown away or engulfed by the fire. All that could be seen was a piece of a satin evening dress hanging on the edge of the wall, washed away by the heavy rain.
However, the invasion of heavy rain did not slow down the flames. The raging fire had vigorous vitality, spreading to people nearby, drilling into high-tech equipment, and staying in place waiting for the help of strong winds!
It's not over yet.
Lightning struck again with strong light that illuminated the entire world. Most people rushed into the maglev elevator and fled downwards desperately.
Su Wanxing quickly moved away from all metal objects, electrical equipment, and water in the building!
After finding a more suitable position, Su Wanxing immediately squatted down, put his legs together, hugged his knees with his arms, and lowered his head to minimize his exposure as much as possible.
Suddenly, I felt a warm sensation on the back of my neck. My neck felt uncomfortable being pressed, and I could vaguely feel a trembling sensation as if my limbs were shaking.
Su Wanxing wanted to cry but had no tears. "Big Orange, stop shaking! I get even more scared when you shake!"
The big orange dog didn't want to tremble, but his legs were so weak. If possible, he really wanted to turn into a cat cake to avoid the terrible natural disaster!
"Bang--"
The building began to sway again, more violently than before.
But this time the lightning strike seemed to have changed the floor.
Even without looking up, Su Wanxing could clearly hear screams coming from the floors below. Could it be the group of people who just rushed into the elevator to escape?
Disasters never leave people time to think. Before the rainstorm has subsided, strong winds suddenly blow.
The flying sparks were caused by the strong wind. At first, they were only scattered around the breach, but now they were flying directly into the building.
Because a social gathering was being held here, all kinds of drinks were available. In addition, as the crowd was trying to avoid the disaster, alcohol was spilled everywhere, which contributed to the rapid spread of the fire.
The crowd who didn't get into the elevator were still feeling lucky that they didn't go downstairs, but the next second, their evening dresses, stained with wine, became the object of the fire's embrace, and sparks swept through the crowd in an instant.
It's a complete mess.
"Prime Minister, the building was suddenly struck by lightning. The plan may change. We..."
The source of the sound was nearby. Su Wanxing looked up, quickly stood up, and snatched Ji Xiang's phone away in a frustrated manner, "Don't call during a thunderstorm!" Can you cherish your life!!!
Yoshika: “…” Thank you for helping me hang up the phone with my boss!
Sure enough, in a flash, although the lightning was smaller, sparks flew across to Ji Xiang's sleeves that were stained with wine, and flames suddenly burst out and spread to her shoulders and neck.
Su Wanxing was so frightened that he jumped up and quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher hanging on the wall.
It's a dry powder fire extinguisher! Fortunately, it's not some high-tech thing that requires time to learn.
Su Wanxing immediately lifted, pulled, aimed, and pressed, aiming at Ji Xiang's arm covered in flames, and sprayed -
Yoshika was instantly enveloped by white smoke, and her burning arms felt a little cool.
Soon, the smoke dissipated and Yoshika became a little white person. He coughed heavily a few times and the breath he exhaled from his mouth turned white.
Su Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the teacher was fine. He turned around and put out the rapidly spreading fire while the fire extinguisher was still used up.
When the fire extinguisher was almost used up, there was a sudden noise from the ceiling of the floor.
Su Wanxing raised her smoke-stained face and saw several holes in the ceiling. Several small heads similar to cameras poked out from them, and then...
They started spraying water to put out the fire like a shower!
Su Wanxing dried up the silence and belatedly threw away the empty fire extinguisher bottle.
The rain has stopped, the wind has stopped, the thunder has gone away, the fire has dwindled, and your fire-fighting showerhead has finally appeared!
"Important notice! This disaster has left the skyscrapers riddled with holes, but please don't panic, residents. We have enough strength to deal with this sudden lightning disaster and fire."
It seemed like an arrogant voice coming from the radio on every floor.
"The affected areas are currently floors 81 to 70. Residents not in this area should return to their rooms and wait quietly. Please fully cooperate with our rescue work..."
The next step was to give instructions to the affected areas. Su Wanxing looked at his own miserable appearance and took the elevator upstairs. Fortunately, the elevator was not broken, otherwise it would be the most fatal disaster, because there were no stairs in the skyscraper.
When I returned to the room, it was almost six o'clock in the evening. The thought of the torment of waiting for lightning to appear and be struck by lightning made me feel more powerless.
In front of nature, human beings are so small that they are not even as good as a speck of dust.
After Su Wanxing took a shower and changed clothes, he cleaned the minor wounds he had sustained today.
When he saw the burn marks all over his sports suit, his nervousness doubled.
The natural disaster came earlier than expected. No, it must be my misjudgment.
How could surviving in a skyscraper greenhouse for three days be just a simple survival for three days?
Su Wanxing thought about it and immediately set off, packing all the clothes in the closet into the warehouse, and taking away all the small items in the room that might be useful.
It's always better to be prepared than to pack up at the last minute.
After taking everything he needed, Su Wanxing remembered that he hadn’t eaten yet!
You must have a big meal to calm your nerves!
Su Wanxing took out a full family bucket, two bags of fries and two cups of Coke. Because he forgot to stock up on drinks, he had to settle for the next best thing, the free Coke was also OK.
In addition, Su Wanxing poured cat food and freeze-dried food for the cat. She also tied a cat toy to the leg of the stool. If she had the chance, she would definitely develop an automatic cat toy!
While enjoying the food, Su Wanxing was not idle. He turned on his computer and watched a live broadcast of the protest.
A few minutes ago, news spread in the class group that the top floor was engaging in negative behavior, seemingly calming people down but actually ignoring the public's concerns. Some students took the lead in questioning it, organizing a protest team, gathering on the 90th floor and live-streaming the entire building, demanding an explanation from the top floor.
Those who wish to participate in the protest can sign up on the 90th floor.
Su Wanxing would naturally not participate. With her current status, no matter which side she joins, it would have a huge impact, and the gun would always be pointed at her.
The live broadcast has already started on the computer screen.
In the conference room on that day, a few sparsely populated students stood and asked passionately to the live camera:
"It has been more than three hours since the disaster, and the promise made on the top floor has never been fulfilled! We only saw the fire extinguishing device on the ceiling activated, but it was only activated for a mere fifteen minutes. The unextinguished fire was put out by us ourselves using water and clothes!"
"Where are the rescuers? Where is your powerful strength? Why are you avoiding the residents' questions by saying it's curfew? The power is out in the building, and no one is coming to repair the broken windows. Where are we going to sleep tonight? Are we waiting to be frozen to death by the extreme weather? Are we waiting for the sun to rise the next day and be melted by the 50-degree high temperature?"
"All residents watching the live broadcast, we must unite and not be deceived again. The world outside may not be as dangerous as inside the building. The top floor has been deceiving us! There are plants outside the building..."
“Ahem!”
After a loud cough, several students' eyes widened and even their voices gradually became quieter.
Professor A arrived with a powerful aura and walked towards the podium step by step. The conference room suddenly fell silent.
"I never thought that the grace of my ten years of education would be ruined by the students' mouths," Professor A looked at the live camera with his eyes wide open. "There is a shortage of staff in the building at the moment. Graduates who are watching the live broadcast and are not afraid of trouble should humble themselves and start from the lowest level of maintenance workers. That is where you can realize your ideals and ambitions now."
The students were angry but dared not speak out.
At this time, a thin figure walked into the back of the conference room and confronted Professor A, "Why should we study hard for decades and be ordered around by your words?"
Su Wanxing's pupils widened as he stared at the screen. Who is this person? Teacher Ji Xiang!
From this perspective, Teacher Yoshika's thin figure is in stark contrast to the sturdy Professor A on the stage.
Professor A is a typical person who says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. Yesterday he angrily scolded the students who gave up and went to the grassroots level, but today he changed the topic to say that they should start from the bottom.
College students are like bricks and can be moved wherever they are needed. How ironic!
Ji Xiang is the lower class refugee who struggled to move up step by step from the bottom. Her parents supported the family by working in high temperatures, but when Ji Xiang finally broke free from the ant-like shackles and worked hard to reach the 66th floor, her parents fell down forever due to heat stroke in the 50-degree high temperature.
No one was willing to help the parents, and under the influence of the high temperature, the parents merged into one with the dry land.
And Yoshika, who lost her loved ones, received no words of comfort, only cold points as compensation. She worked diligently as an educator and suffered from the big promises from her superiors, but all opportunities for career advancement had nothing to do with her.
In the end, I found out that the so-called hard work to climb up is nothing more than what Professor A calls PUA.
No matter how hard a small person climbs, he will never see a ray of sunshine from the upper class. Even if he reaches the middle class, it is only the lowest end of the middle class which is a blessing, and he still cannot escape the discrimination from the superior people above him.
Without power and influence, it is impossible to break the indestructible shackles of the floor.
Professor A, who claims to be the most authoritative, asked them to start from the bottom and go around in circles. It is really ridiculous!
Yoshika revealed: "Professor A, you don't care about the people below the 99th floor at all. You don't even want to care about our lives. You wish the fire would burn all of us downstairs to death, and then run away!"
Professor A was unmoved and left after saying "I am only responsible for people with high IQs".
Su Wanxing was completely confused, but the fried chicken in his hand smelled delicious!
But not long after, the power went out on the 99th floor...
Su Wanxing did not sleep well that night, not only because of the quarrel between Ji Xiang and Professor A, but also because the power outage and the water supply were also cut off.
Water and power outages are not a good sign and can easily cause people to panic.
The consequence of panic is the gradual collapse of order.
But what Su Wanxing didn't expect was that order in the building collapsed so quickly!
