Boom!
A loud thunder sounded, accompanied by the sound of heavy rain and howling wind outside, which sounded a bit creepy.
Chen Xu hid in a clothing store, watching the sky getting darker and darker outside, and couldn't help but frown. He glanced at his phone, 13:45. The rain had been falling for more than three hours, and there was no sign of it stopping.
Such a strong wind is at least level 10 or above.
"But, how could there be a typhoon at this time?"
He felt a little strange. It was September when he entered the dream, and now four months had passed, so it should be January. He had never heard of a typhoon in January.
Huh? That's not right. January is one of the coldest months, but the weather now is no different from September. It's very hot. He even turns on the air conditioner when he goes to bed at night.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved. After all, in a dream, nothing was strange.
This should be a deliberate unreasonable setting to remind people in the dream that this is not reality.
"I'm so hungry."
He touched his stomach and decided that he couldn't just wait like this any longer. The rain didn't look like it would stop in the short term, so he decided to go find something to eat.
I should have brought some snacks with me.
He thought a little depressedly, there was food in the car, but it was not realistic to go back to the car at this time. The car was several hundred meters away from here, and with such a strong wind, he didn't dare to run to the main road.
Just now, he had heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground several times, and he didn't know whether it was a broken tree trunk or a billboard.
Anyway, it's dangerous outside.
However, he had already searched the store and found nothing to eat. He definitely couldn't stay any longer and had to find something to eat somewhere else.
He remembered that there was a convenience store a few shops away, and there must be food there.
He took off his backpack and took out the things he didn't need at the moment to lighten his load. Then he pushed open the door.
call--
As soon as the door was opened, the strong wind pushed him backwards and the raindrops hit his face hard. He quickly lowered his center of gravity, lowered his head, and walked out.
After going out, the wind became stronger and mixed with rain, which soon soaked him completely.
He held onto the wall and walked forward step by step with difficulty. It took him several minutes to walk the short distance of more than ten meters.
When we arrived at the convenience store, the door was open and couldn't block the wind, so the inside was a mess and all kinds of goods were blown all over the floor.
He didn't stop, but ran to the warehouse behind, opened the door, hid inside, and then struggled to close the door.
With a bang, the sound of wind and rain was shut out. The whole world seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.
At this time, he was soaked through, and the wet clothes stuck to his body, making him uncomfortable. He took out spare clothes from his backpack.
"It's a famous brand backpack, and it has good waterproof performance."
He praised, and after changing into dry clothes, he felt refreshed. Then, he picked up the flashlight and started looking for food. The warehouse was not big, but it contained a lot of snacks and drinks.
He took a pack of biscuits and a box of pure milk, sat on a box of mineral water, listened to the whistling sound of the wind coming in through the crack in the door, and ate his lunch.
While eating, he suddenly became a little worried about Luo Xiyun who was still in the base camp, and he didn't know how she was doing.
"What does she have to worry about? She has food and drink at home, as well as electricity. The environment is many times better than here. As long as she doesn't go out..."
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something, "What day is today? It seems to be Wednesday."
He remembered that she went out every Wednesday.
After being neighbors for three months, the two of them could only count the number of times they had met on one hand.
However, the two lived only a wall apart. Even if they didn't meet, they could feel each other's presence all the time in their lives.
When I wake up in the morning, I can hear the sound of watering. When I go out, I see signs of picking on the vegetables in front of the door. On the way to the "garage", I can see the garbage she threw out.
In addition, the sounds of opening and closing doors, the aroma of cooking, the clothes hung outside every day, etc., all let him know clearly that a woman named Luo Xiyun lived next door.
After three months, he didn't pay much attention to her, but he had a general understanding of her daily routine. He knew that she would go out on a bicycle at nine o'clock every Wednesday morning and would not come back until around eleven o'clock.
Today is Wednesday, and the weather is so good in the morning. She will definitely go out on her bike as planned. However, the rain started at around ten o'clock, so she will definitely encounter it.
"Poor kid, why did he go out when he couldn't just stay at home? And he was riding a bicycle."
He shook his head and said sympathetically, picking up the biscuit again and stuffing it into his mouth.
This brand of cookies tastes good, but is a bit too sweet.
He finished the whole pack of biscuits in just a few bites, then tore open another pack and added two cartons of milk to finally fill his stomach.
"Let's watch some TV."
He took out a tablet from his backpack, which had several TV series downloaded on it, which he had prepared specifically to kill time.
This is an urban romance drama with a pretty stupid plot. But he has no choice.
Nowadays, the Internet is so developed and fast that people watch movies and TV series online. Few people download movies and TV series to their computers. He dismantled dozens of hard drives in the company building and only found dozens of movies, most of which were Korean and American dramas.
There are a lot of love action movies from a certain island country, and they are counted by T.
The wind outside seems to be getting stronger.
The TV series was on for a few minutes, but Chen Xu couldn't continue watching it. He kept thinking about Luo Xiyun.
"She is old enough to find a place to hide when it rains heavily. At most, she will get wet a little."
"Maybe she went home early today."
"maybe……"
He turned off the video in annoyance, walked around the small warehouse for a few times, and finally stopped and sighed, "Forget it, I'd better go back and take a look."
If something really happened to her, she would have to spend the remaining two months alone.
He did what he thought. He put on his backpack, opened the door and walked out.
He struggled against the wind, lowered his center of gravity, and walked forward step by step. The clean clothes he had just changed into were soon soaked again.
After finally walking to the parking lot, he got in the car, wiped his face, started the car, and drove out.
The rain, accompanied by the wind, hit the car window with a crackling sound.
He adjusted the wiper speed to the highest setting, but his vision was still blurry. He didn't dare drive too fast, and he had to be careful of the extra obstacles on the road. If he crashed the car, it would only delay his driving.
He didn't dare to speed up until he entered a familiar road.
Forty minutes later, he finally saw the outline of the familiar building. He stepped on the accelerator, and with the roar of the engine, the car accelerated and rushed past.
