Chapter 257 Squatting
The entire elevator shaft was empty at this time.
In addition, few people would take the elevator to the first floor, and the innermost floor was dark and quiet, and the only sound she could hear was the clatter of her own footsteps.
The faint halo of light coming in from the outside fell on the wall in patches of light and dark. When viewed with peripheral vision, it looked like a black wall that had been smoked.
Because this place is located in the innermost layer of the elevator shaft, the air is not circulated, and over the years, a damp and moldy smell is emitted.
Anjiu shook the flour bag upwards to prevent it from sliding down.
The weight of forty kilograms was not light. It made her shoulders sore and her arms became numb due to lack of blood circulation due to being held high for a long time.
She walked all the way to the elevator, and when the elevator came down, she turned her back to the wall, put down her shopping bags, and swung her arms to promote blood circulation.
It was too dark here, and she was not sure if there were any surveillance equipment, so she did not dare to put the things into the space.
The pulley in the elevator shaft beside me started to move, making a rattling sound.
Just then Anjiu seemed to hear footsteps.
She immediately became alert, stopped what she was doing, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
——It’s so late, who else would want to take the elevator besides her?
It couldn't be Pu Huai. He led the team down to the mine today and took the outdoor elevator on the 48th floor.
He put his hands silently into his pockets so that he could take out the knife from the space to defend himself as soon as possible, and his eyes were fixed on the corner.
Hey.
This sound was extremely obvious.
Anjiu's eyes were sharp—someone really came!
The other party took two steps forward and then stopped moving.
"Ahem, is there anyone in there?"
——Male voice, sounds strange, and is alert.
Anjiu analyzed it quickly and didn't answer, his hands still in his pockets.
"Hey, little girl, I know you are in there. I just saw you come in."
Perhaps because he got no response, this person took the initiative to say these words.
——Waiting in advance?
Anjiu frowned even more tightly.
She looked like a sixth-class citizen in her attire. Why would you squat on her? What value could you gain?
Could it be that he has set his sights on these things of hers?
Shouldn't you just come up and grab it? Why are you talking all this nonsense?
It only means that he has other purposes, and he didn't show up when Song Haizhi was here just now, which proves that his purpose cannot be seen by others.
She lowered her head and looked at her own bean-like body - unless his eyes were disgusted by the empty head and chose to run away from home.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, the person outside cleared his throat for the third time and said, "Don't worry, I came to you for no other purpose. I just want to talk to you about cooperation."
Although there were a few unknown syllables at the end of the last sentence, Anjiu still heard the word "cooperation".
This is a bit interesting.
It is very likely that he was squatting there because of something.
Anjiu thought he had no value, and his life had been smoother recently after he went down to the mines. Hmm? Down to the mines?
The old man and the short and fat man she met in the supermarket tonight suddenly appeared in her mind.
The two people's completely different looks at the time left a deep impression on her.
Could it be that the person outside is him...
Standing in the dark and narrow passage, with a foul smell floating around him, Lu Sheng had to cover his mouth and nose after every sentence to prevent foul air from entering his body.
He really couldn't go any further. Standing here was already his limit.
Anyway, there is no one here, so his voice can be heard.
I didn't expect to get good news tonight.
He looked around the environment here. The elevator shaft was like this. It was conceivable that her living environment must not be very good.
I'm probably short of contribution points, and I'm willing to take risks...
Just as he was thinking about it, a strange dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, which really scared him.
"How do you want to combine——"
"Hey, wait!" He interrupted hurriedly, "It's too dark here, I can't see you, how about we talk somewhere else?"
In the dim light, An Jiu recognized that this man was indeed the short and fat man he met in the supermarket.
"No, it's too late. I have to go home quickly."
Coincidentally, the elevator arrived with a clang at this moment, and Anjiu turned around and walked back, with no desire to talk in detail.
Lu Sheng didn't want this plan to go to waste, so he had no choice but to turn his head, take a deep breath, and run after him.
This was the first time he saw a simple elevator. He was immediately attracted by the four walls that looked like iron fences, and didn't pay attention to what was under his feet.
The foot that stepped down directly destroyed his balance and the car began to shake violently. He was caught off guard and threw himself onto the iron fence. He subconsciously supported himself with his hands, but passed through the gap.
His face was pressed firmly against the iron bars.
At the same time, the car shifted towards him, who was heavier. He watched himself falling downward in weightlessness, as if he was about to plunge into bottomless darkness.
Fear suddenly came over me.
"help me!!!"
An Jiu's eardrums were buzzing from his shouting, and he raised his voice as well: "Hurry up and stand up!"
When the car tilts to a certain extent, the iron chain on the top starts to work and forcibly pulls the car straight.
Lu Sheng was bounced to the ground by the force. He didn't care about the pain in his body. His first reaction was that he would finally not fall. But before he could be happy, the sticky feeling on his palm reminded him that he was sitting on a thin wooden board. It could collapse at any time.
"Mom!"
He cried out in strange cries, and crawled out on all fours in a cold sweat. The carriage was swaying from side to side and the wooden boards were creaking.
"Don't collapse! Don't collapse! What the hell is this elevator!"
He grabbed the entrance which was also made of iron fence, put the virtual bracelet on it, and tried to "scan" it for a long time but couldn't open it.
crunch--
His expression was frozen.
Click—click—crunch.
He seemed to feel himself rising into the air.
At this time, An Jiu in the back reminded: "The elevator has already gone up. As long as you don't move, it's safe here. When you reach the floor, you can go down in advance."
She put the shopping bag on the rice that had been stuffed into the corner and blocked by her legs, and spoke again: "What do you want to cooperate with me on?"
——How could he be in the mood to talk about this now!
Anjiu: "Don't worry, there are no surveillance devices here."
Lu Sheng held the iron fence tightly with one hand and wiped the sweat off his face with the other hand, slapping his face.
——It would be a waste of time if we don’t talk.
He shifted his attention from the wooden board under his butt, the iron rod in his hand, and the shaky elevator to Anjiu in front of him.
"It's already this late, so I won't waste any more words. What I want to cooperate with you on is related to the mine you just went down today."
An Jiu looked at him quietly without changing his expression.
Lu Sheng slowly stood up holding the iron fence until his sight changed from looking up to looking down.
The confidence of the past has returned.
He spoke skillfully in a flat voice: "To be precise, it is related to the crystals under the mine. A palm-sized crystal can have the purchasing power of 2,000 contribution points. If you have three, you can exchange them for one-third of the exemption ticket for the journey to another world..."
