With a loud bang, Luo Xiyun screamed and fell to the ground under the violent vibration, and the documents in his hand fell to the ground.

The lights in the elevator went out and it was pitch black all around. She stood up by holding onto the wall and hurriedly opened her handbag to look for her cell phone, but suddenly she remembered that her phone had run out of battery and had automatically turned off.

The dark environment made her feel panicky.

"Are you okay?"

At this moment, a bright light suddenly shone from the front, blinding her eyes, and she subconsciously blocked it with her hands.

"I'm sorry."

The light quickly turned away, and she remembered that there was another person in the elevator. Chen Xu's voice was very steady, which made her feel more at ease.

She looked up and saw the light from Chen Xu's cell phone shining on the ground. In the narrow elevator, the light spread out and drove away the darkness.

At this moment, he was looking at her with concerned eyes. She hurriedly said, "It's nothing. Call the police."

"Okay." Chen Xu quickly picked up his phone and started dialing.

At this moment, she was worried about being trapped in the elevator, and didn't care about the distance between them. She took the initiative to walk to his side. Seeing that her phone showed no signal, her heart skipped a beat.

Chen Xu quickly dialed 110, but it didn't go through. He then dialed 119 and 112, but still couldn't get through.

Chen Xu looked up at her and comforted her, "Don't worry, the security guards should be able to notice the abnormality soon and come to rescue us."

Luo Xiyun was about to say something when he suddenly saw a low battery message pop up on his phone and said hurriedly, "Your phone is running out of battery."

Chen Xu took a look and quickly turned off the flashlight. The elevator suddenly became dark again, leaving only the faint blue light from the screen. The light was very weak, and the two were not far away from each other, but they could not even see each other's faces clearly.

When I checked the battery level, there was only 18 percent left.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Xu said, "Let's try to see if we can get in touch with the outside world."

"Yeah." Luo Xiyun didn't say anything and nodded slightly.

Chen Xu walked to the elevator buttons and fumbled around, pressing the emergency button over and over. After several minutes, there was no response.

"Take this." Chen Xu handed her the phone, walked to the elevator door, and tried to pry it apart with force, but the door didn't move at all.

"Forget it." Seeing that he had tried several times but the door didn't open, Luo Xiyun said, "Let's wait for someone to come and rescue us."

Chen Xu gave up, shook his sore hands, and said, "What's going on? The elevator never seemed to have any problems before."

"I don't know either." Luo Xiyun had calmed down by now. Since it had already happened, she could only accept it. She walked to the top of the button with her phone and saw the inspection date on it, which was just a month ago. "Maybe, we just happened to run into it."

"Yeah." Chen Xu nodded, then leaned against the innermost wall and said nothing.

There was silence.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

The phone screen went black and then woke up again. The two of them stood at a distance not too far from each other, and could barely see the outline of each other's face.

Luo Xiyun couldn't stand it anymore. She used to think that Chen Xu didn't like to talk nonsense, which was a good thing. Now in this environment, he still didn't talk, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Finally, she couldn't help but break the silence, "Why hasn't anyone come yet?"

At this time, more than ten minutes had passed since they were trapped in the elevator, which was really extremely unbearable.

In theory, there are people on duty in the building's security room 24 hours a day, so if there is a problem with the elevator, it will definitely be discovered quickly.

Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Maybe, it hasn't been discovered yet."

In fact, for those on duty at night, no one will stare at the surveillance camera all the time. It is inevitable to be distracted and it is normal to be absent-minded.

Luo Xiyun sighed and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and saw that the battery had dropped by one percent. His anxiety increased.

Ten minutes later, there was still no movement outside. Luo Xiyun's anxiety continued to accumulate. Seeing that the battery of his phone was running low and the rescue was still not coming, he became impatient and changed his standing position several times.

"Something's wrong."

At this time, Chen Xu spoke, his voice more solemn, "It's been almost half an hour. Logically, they shouldn't be that slow."

As he spoke, he looked at the corner where the surveillance camera was. Nowadays, surveillance cameras generally have infrared night vision functions, and red lights can be seen in dark environments. But now he saw nothing, proving that the camera was not powered.

In the duty room, if someone discovers that the surveillance camera is missing, they will usually send someone to take a look. That way they can find out that the elevator is broken.

"Maybe they found out that the elevator was broken, but didn't realize we were trapped inside." Luo Xiyun's tone was a little angry. She made up her mind that after she got out, she must rectify the security of the building.

This building is also an asset of the Tianluo Group.

"Someone come, is there anyone outside..."

Suddenly, Chen Xu shouted towards the elevator door, banging on it, "We are trapped..."

Luo Xiyun looked at him, walked over, and shouted, "Hurry up and help me..."

The two shouted for a few minutes, and Luo Xiyun's voice became hoarse. There was still no response from outside. He pulled Chen Xu and waved his hand, indicating that he should stop shouting.

Chen Xu seemed to be tired of shouting. He sat down on the ground without caring about his image, leaning against the door, and said in a hoarse voice, "Maybe we will be trapped until tomorrow morning."

There are several elevators in the building. If one breaks down, there are still others that can be used. It is not necessary to contact maintenance personnel overnight to come and repair it.

Luo Xiyun glanced at the time on her phone. It was 9:39 p.m., and there were still more than eleven hours until tomorrow morning when she had to go to work. If this was true, it meant that she had to stay in this dark elevator with Chen Xu for eleven hours.

The battery on my phone was less than 10%. I guess it wouldn't last a few more minutes.

She turned off her phone, and the small elevator was suddenly plunged into complete darkness.

She felt a little regretful and thought, "I should have brought my laptop with me just now." She had been too busy recently and was a little tired. She had planned to have a good rest when she got home and had not thought about work, so she did not bring her laptop.

It just happened to be a coincidence that she usually carries her computer with her, but she didn't this time, and just happened to run into this incident.

"what to do?"

She was a little panicked. Did she really have to spend the night in such a place? She hadn't taken a shower yet, and she couldn't change her clothes. Most importantly, what should she do if she had to go to the bathroom urgently? (End of this chapter)
