This time, it was louder than ever before.
It felt as if the elevator was carrying a weight of three thousand pounds and was about to collapse.
Su Mei's breathing tightened, her back was already soaked with sweat, and her voice was hoarse: "It's coming, it's coming again..."
Splash—
Suddenly, the elevator plummeted at an unpredictable speed.
The numbers above change rapidly from fifteen.
fourteen.
Thirteen.
twelve.
eleven.
ten.
Ding ding ding ding—
The elevator's floor notification sound kept ringing, like a haunting melody, making one's mind in turmoil.
Finally, on the ninth floor, the elevator stopped again.
Su Mei's legs were already numb. She forced herself not to fall to the ground and frantically pressed the buttons for the ninth floor. After the buttons were turned on, her eyes were already wet.
Both of them had their phones flashlighted to keep the elevator as bright as possible.
Tang Yaoyao's premonition grew increasingly worse.
She had already lost a lot of blood due to Sun Yue's actions, and her body was very weak. She hadn't recovered yet, and the difficulty breathing in the confined space made her feel dizzy.
I opened my mouth and felt nauseous; this was a reaction to low blood sugar.
Both of them were exhausted and eventually sat down on the floor.
Su Mei felt that this scene was just like waiting to die, and she was filled with despair. She wiped away her tears and looked at Tang Yaoyao.
Seeing her face turn pale and her lips turn purple, he panicked even more.
Su Mei sat down next to her, helped her up, and let her lean on her shoulder, her voice panicked: "Brother Yao, Brother Yao, how are you?"
Tang Yaoyao weakly lifted her eyelids and looked at her hands. She had squeezed Su Mei too hard and broken some of the skin, causing blood to seep out, which made her even more dizzy.
"I'm too weak..."
Su Mei comforted her, her voice also panting, "It's alright, we'll definitely be saved."
"If I die, you..."
"No, no!" Su Mei interrupted her in a panic.
Tang Yaoyao smiled, her words clear and distinct: "Remember to get my photo back from Xiao Laosi'er."
Su Mei looked at his languid appearance, the smile on his lips possessing a captivating charm.
What time is it now?
Brother Yao still remembers those seventeen photos of her.
Tang Yaoyao breathed heavily and said, "By the way, could you ask him if he's recovered yet?"
Su Mei: "..."
He was initially quite scared, but at this moment, he actually burst out laughing: "Brother Yao, what exactly is going on in your head?"
Tang Yaoyao licked her lips, her breathing becoming increasingly suffocating: "Of course, it's something you can't imagine."
Suddenly, the elevator started moving again.
Su Mei hugged Tang Yaoyao tightly.
We'd rather die together; we're not afraid.
To everyone's surprise, the elevator went up one floor and then stopped.
"Is the elevator working now?" Su Mei asked happily.
Tang Yaoyao: "I can't take it anymore... Open the door and let some air out..."
Hearing Yao Ge's will to survive, Su Mei seemed less afraid and touched the button.
However, both doors remained tightly shut and motionless.
Tang Yaoyao gently took out her usual makeup mirror from her bag and handed it to her: "Stick it in the crack of the door."
Su Mei was already drenched in sweat. She hesitated for a moment, then asked urgently, "Brother Yao, can we open the door and run out?"
"Now, there are only two possibilities." Tang Yaoyao looked at her, breathing heavily, the dizziness almost making her faint.
Su Mei didn't speak, and even her breathing was held for a long time before she took a small breath, not wanting to compete with her for the little bit of oxygen that was available here.
Tang Yaoyao said lazily, "The premise for not moving the elevator is that someone is being rescued, but now..."
She took a while to catch her breath before saying, "If you're unlucky, even if there's a crack and the elevator falls, it's better to die from a fall than to suffocate."
Su Mei: "..."
"Keep the elevator stationary, let the air circulate, and let it breathe oxygen."
In short, it all comes down to getting oxygen.
The feeling of holding your breath is awful...
Brother Yao is right. In the current situation, we're going to die either way. It's better to die from a fall than to suffocate.
They inserted the stainless steel mirror directly into the small gap, and then, along with the button, forcefully pried it open to both sides.
Tang Yaoyao felt like there were many stars in front of her, her ears were ringing, and she was finding it increasingly difficult to breathe, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
Finally, Su Mei managed to pry open a slit about half the width of her little finger, and a little air immediately flowed in.
Su Mei quickly helped Tang Yaoyao toward the door.
After receiving oxygen, Tang Yaoyao felt much better, but this small crack couldn't solve the fundamental problem.
The weather was too hot, and being trapped inside with small ventilation openings made it impossible to breathe properly.
"Brother Yao, the elevator seems to be stuck. Let's just wait here and leave it to fate." Su Mei said. At this moment, although she was still desperate after the fright, she seemed to have accepted it with a sense of relief.
Tang Yaoyao slightly curved her lips, her eyes icy cold: "I didn't want to die."
"Then what you just did..."
Just kidding.
Su Mei: "..." What time is it? Brother Yao is still trying to distract her and tell her not to be afraid.
"Look, what's outside?" Tang Yaoyao was desperately trying to stay awake, determined to find them before she lost consciousness.
Su Mei leaned closer to look: "It's the corridor of the hotel room."
"Five-star hotel, the cleaning lady is always there, call her!"
At that moment, Su Mei seemed to have a renewed hope for life, and she called out into the small crack, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
