This world is terrible

Chapter 406 From Darkness

The person who came was none other than Xiao Di, who came in a hurry.

Not long ago, it bid farewell to its uncle driver and started to investigate the situation here, but it did not expect that it was due to a leak in the house and it rained all night, and all the originally bright street lights went out.

In an instant, large waves of darkness swarmed in, completely engulfing Xiaodi. It had no choice but to follow the unusually active activities of humans around its ears and find its way to the convenience store, which was full of people.

At this moment, under the candlelight in front of it, there are the extremely panicked faces of the residents.

"Big blackout?"

"Why is it at this time..."

"Daqiang, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, let's see if the power will be restored later."

"Everyone, don't worry!"

The clerk in charge of the cashier also took advantage of the opportunity and said loudly: "If there is really a power supply problem, it will only be a matter of time or later for the government to repair it. Don't ruin your bright future just for temporary gain."

crackling-

As soon as he finished speaking, the rain outside had begun to expand again.

A fierce wind howled, and suddenly there was a large amount of rain mixed with a bone-chilling chill, all hitting the back of Xiaodi who was closest to the door.

boom.

Xiao Di turned around, closed the sliding door completely, quietly took off his wet coat, and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

At present, the strangeness of the so-called "migratory birds" has only revealed the tip of the insignificant iceberg. As for what will happen next...

Xiao Di believes that she has more hope staying here than wandering around.

After all, people are always the best group to create stories.

The rain kept falling.

Beside the dim candlelight, I don't know how many minutes or moments passed, but someone finally made a dissatisfied voice: "Can't we leave yet? How long do you want us to stay here? Where is your boss?"

boss?

The two clerks looked at each other from a distance, and apparently belatedly remembered that their boss had been checking the transformer box for a long time.

"That's right, we can't keep waiting like this until the power is cut off."

"Does it take a lot of time to calculate by hand? When the migratory birds land, everyone will not be able to go home. Will you be happy?"

"Severe tropical storm, severe tropical storm, brothers - get your supervisor here quickly, I don't want to stay outside for a second longer!"

"Let me go with you to see it."

Xiao Di glanced at the ajar gray door dozens of meters away, and signaled to a clerk: "It's pitch black. It's understandable that I've been delayed when I encountered a problem."

"Ah, yes."

The clerk laughed sheepishly and led the way: "Please follow me."

"Wait, I'm going too."

"I am coming too."

Suddenly, several more people joined in.

It is unclear whether they are sincere or just covet the materials in the warehouse.

Away from the candlelight on the counter, several people's sights were once again submerged in the deep darkness. They walked past the door with a no-no notice posted on it, and saw a room that was not too big or too small, with white paint on the walls. Xiaodi's eyes.

In front of it, firstly, there is an iron rolling shutter door for incoming goods located in the north of the room. Secondly, there are cargo boxes neatly stacked on the west. Under the south wall going east, there are cleaning tools and fire extinguishers separated by several steps. equipment.

"boss?"

The clerk called out in the distance. He suddenly squinted his eyes and discovered that there was a bright flame burning under the east corner. He said excitedly: "The boss should be there. Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk...

boom.

"Ouch!"

After only a few steps, someone seemed to have bumped into something. He gasped and bowed down, touching his knees repeatedly.

Xiao Di turned around to look, pushed the flatbed truck that was blocking the road away, and reminded: "Everyone, please be careful in front of you, don't hit something and injure yourself."

Gulu~Gulu~

Under the influence of inertia, the flatbed truck kept moving, and finally hit the rolling shutter door with a "bang", and a loud hollow sound came from the entire warehouse. There seemed to be a strong wind blowing outside the door at this time.

Boom!

The sound of banging and shaking iron sheets came continuously, making several people in the darkness swallow their saliva involuntarily.

"boss?"

"boss?"

The clerk seemed a little excited. He shouted forward and walked quickly towards the candlelight.

The light grew bigger and bigger in his eyes, until the darkness was completely dispelled, and then he saw...

A broken candle was burning stubbornly on the rubber floor.

"boss?"

Confused, he called out again tentatively.

The only person who responded to him was a suddenly opened back door a few meters away from the candle's body.

Crackling...

Rain poured down continuously from it, covering the entire floor beyond recognition.

"What's going on, where is your boss?"

Xiao Di and others arrived behind slowly, and they also saw this strange scene and couldn't help but wonder.

"This...I don't know this either? Has he gone out?"

What a joke.

As soon as the clerk said these words, he immediately wanted to slap himself.

Who would walk out of the house without any warning, knowing that there was no power and heavy rain?

"This door is usually a quick passage used when cleaning up garbage."

The clerk kept shaking his head: "But the boss is so nice, how could he get out of here..."

"It's more than that."

Xiao Di squatted down and followed Gao Yi's example and looked at the broken candle: "It seems that for some reason, he had to roughly throw away his only light source -"

"In this lightless world at this moment."

"He is a living person, how can he disappear into thin air?"

Someone waved his hand nonchalantly, lifted up a small section of the candle that was still burning on the ground, and walked towards the electrical box: "Let's see if there is anything wrong with the electrical box first!"

"Ok?"

The customer suddenly realized that the electrical box in front of him was still locked at this time.

What do you mean?

The guy who kept saying he was here to check the tripping didn't even open the electrical box?

"Now I don't understand it even more."

The man sneered: "A seller actually left a lot of cash on the counter and disappeared silently in the warehouse?"

"Is there a possibility that he was held hostage by gangsters?"

Others also put forward other opinions: "After all, judging from the situation, this is really unreasonable."

"Then what should we do now? Leave directly?"

"Let's go quickly. Something is wrong here. You should also know that the more primitive the environment, the more it tests people's character - darkness, cold, and lack of supplies. It's bad enough here."

"Shh, be quiet."

Xiaodi suddenly spoke up, interrupting those who were arguing: "Listen carefully, are there any strange sounds at the rolling shutter door?"

Strange sounds?

This unclear description made everyone present feel a little creepy.

And when they listened quietly, they realized that this voice didn't just exist.

Moreover, it was now approaching the back door where he was.

Who?
