Chapter 7 Please Bind
Anjiu pinched his palms hard, got up from the ground, stuck close to the shadow at the base of the wall, and walked into the second bedroom.
After a slight rustling sound, Anjiu walked out of the room like a different person.
She picked up the rubber stick left by the man, took a last look at her body, and walked out the door.
"Please select an item to bind."
The moment he heard the voice, Anjiu's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
"Please bind."
The voice appeared again, an inorganic urging.
An Jiu's heart was beating like a drum. She looked at the deep and terrifying stairwell, and confirmed again and again that there was no one around her. The voice came from her mind.
She opened her mouth and silently asked, "What is binding? What are the benefits?"
The voice did not explain her question, but just mechanically repeated: "Please bind."
Anjiu recalled the hazy voice she heard when she was on the verge of death. At that time, it asked her whether she wanted to merge. Now it asked her to bind objects. Thinking of Miao Yan's ability to hold objects with his bare hands, she roughly understood.
'House? Is that okay?'
If the bound items determine the size of the space, then the house is the best choice. As for the corpse, An Jiu couldn't imagine how strong her mentality would be to accept her former self who was always by her side...
"The binding is successful. After paying all outstanding fees and handling fees, the current available space is 0.1 cubic meters."
The cold words pierced Anjiu's heart like a knife.
How many? !
In fact, considering the house price, down payment, loan amount and tax rate, Anjiu, who has only been in debt for a few years, can get some physical goods now, which is already a bargain. After all, many people have been paying off their debts for many years, but when they checked their accounts, they found that the principal had not been moved at all...
A warm current rushed up from the soles of his feet and went straight into his brain. Anjiu keenly sensed a thin strip of space waiting to be used, one meter long, one decimeter wide and one decimeter high.
This size... well, it's just right for stuffing the rubber stick in.
Seeing that there was still some space in there, Anjiu planned to go back and put all the kitchen knives in there in case of emergency.
When An Jiu returned to her old home again, the familiarity in her heart completely disappeared, as if she had broken into a stranger's home, even though her body was lying on the living room floor.
Anjiu endured the discomfort and nervousness, took his things and left quickly.
Pushing open the door of the stairwell, darkness surged in like ink, and the vision became extremely poor. An Jiu subconsciously took out a fruit knife from the space and held it tightly in his backhand.
The door closed automatically with a slight "click" sound, which seemed deafening in such a quiet environment.
Anjiu groped for the stair railing and walked down the steps one by one.
After going down about two or three floors, intermittent voices and the sound of water came up from below.
Anjiu couldn't tell whether it was Miao Yan or the other one.
Just as he was hesitating and standing there, the door of the stairwell on the next floor was suddenly pushed open, and a beam of bright light instantly illuminated the space!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get out of here!"
"Don't go home to get your things! Is money more important than life?!"
The young man said this anxiously, holding his girlfriend's hand and hurried downstairs.
With the help of the flickering light, Anjiu quickly checked his surroundings, and after making sure it was safe, he hurried to catch up.
Amid the couple's undisguised noisy chatter, the people gathered in the corridor on the ground floor only noticed the two of them and did not notice An Jiu who had quietly blended into the crowd.
She huddled in a corner, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Through the messy hair blocking my sight, I scanned the faces of these people one by one.
Not seeing Miao Yan and her followers, An Jiu first breathed a sigh of relief, but then began to get nervous.
Not here, is it upstairs?
While everyone was excited about having a flashlight to call for help, An Jiu unnoticedly squeezed to a place farther away from the stairs, hid behind a sturdy man who could conceal her figure, and observed her surroundings calmly.
She was now at the corner of the stairs on the fourth floor. The accumulated water had already flooded the third floor. She was slowly climbing up the stairs.
The turbid water seems to be bottomless. If you want to swim from here to the first floor, it is an extremely long distance that can suffocate you to death. Moreover, it is very easy to count the floors wrong and miss the first floor lobby and run to the basement.
Another way was to escape through the window in the stairwell. Anjiu turned around and saw the community that had turned into a vast ocean and the dense ripples on the water through the open window.
At this moment, a scream suddenly rang out.
Everyone was severely frightened.
The young girl in plush pajamas fell to the ground, her face pale, and pointed downstairs with trembling hands.
“There are, there are, there are dead people!!!”
A bloated man with his eyes open appeared silently, his head gently hit the steps, and his body followed with a delay, like a bowling ball that was knocked over. His head tilted at a strange angle, and he "stared" at everyone with his upside-down eyes.
You, did you see my head?
"what!!!"
Screams broke out at the scene. Everyone was frightened out of their wits and ran up desperately.
The girl who had fallen to the ground earlier was trampled under the feet of the mad people before she could stand up, and she let out a desperate and painful wail.
Anjiu huddled himself against the corner, keeping his feet firmly on the ground to avoid falling.
The person who ran upstairs lost his balance due to the unconscious pushing of others, flipped over the guardrail, and plunged into the water with a few bangs.
When he emerged from the water dizzy, the corpse with its head tilted was almost face to face with him.
A strange, weak and feeble cry escaped from his mouth, and he sank beneath the water with his eyes rolled back.
"Hold!"
The sturdy man standing in front cursed with a pale face. He turned around and saw Anjiu with messy hair trembling visibly. He avoided Anjiu, climbed through the window, jumped into the water outside, and swam forward frantically.
Anjiu imitated his movements and jumped out as well.
The water was icy cold when she entered, and her feet could not even reach the bottom. At the same time, the heavy rain made it impossible for her to open her eyes, and even breathing became difficult.
She surfaced, put her palms on her nose to make a tent to block the rain, then took a deep breath, found the strong man's figure in the rain, made sure he was taking the right path, and paddled her arms to catch up with him.
She needed a pathfinder, and then find a more labor-saving and safer way based on his condition.
There were a lot of debris floating on the turbid water, including cars parked on the roadside. When Anjiu passed by one of them, he heard the sound of "dong dong dong" knocking on the glass urgently.
She raised her head with great effort and looked over. The family of three inside were desperately looking up and breathing the remaining air with excited expressions. They used intense lip movements and gestures to indicate that they could not get out and wanted Anjiu to help break the car window from the outside.
Sitting near the window on the passenger seat, An Jiu saw a pair of confused eyes that didn't know what was going on. Her little hands were tightly grasping the armrest, and her mouth was slightly open, revealing her neat little white teeth.
