"What should we do?" I said dejectedly.
Everyone scratched their heads and tried to think of something, but the corridor suddenly quieted down, and then there was a clucking sound. I followed the sound and shone my flashlight into the corridor, and found Xu Yang's face pale, his eyes wide and his whole body covered in a sieve of bran. The clucking sound came from his chattering teeth.
"This... Inside... It won't lock anything up... What's not clean? " Xu Yang said while trembling.
Three black lines nearly dripped down from our heads. San Mao bellowed even more hoarsely, "Do you believe that I won't send you flying with a slap? "Brat, did you dream of meeting the King of Hell? Have you been possessed by a ghost?"
"But …" This is a good building, why did it get sealed off like this? " Xu Yang said with a bit of grievance.
"Maybe it's to guard against Zombie? "There might even be people living on top. They grow food on the roof and are self-sufficient …" Lin Hao suddenly said.
"It doesn't look like it …" Lv shook his head and said: "Look at this metal door, it should be quite old."
"Hai, don't worry about it so much. Let's go up first!" "Let's just let one of us climb up the elevator shaft, then open the door from the other end and let us in."
"I'm afraid not …" Lv waved his hand and said.
"Why not?"
"This lock is a double-sided one. Even if you don't have a handle on that side, you still have to use a key to unlock it …"
Lv, wouldn't it be fine if you just climbed up? San Mao said.
"Huh?" Lv exclaimed, he shook his head like a rattle drum, and said, "No no …."
"Why not? There's a lead rope in the Heaven Stairway, it's pretty easy to climb, and it's only on the first floor. " I pulled them out of the staircase, and said to Lv while pointing inside, "The elevator well on the first floor is also open."
"I... "I …" Lv scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm afraid of heights …"
"What?" I thought to myself, "You're a thief. Shouldn't you have the professionalism to sneak through doors and climb windows? How come there are thieves who are afraid of heights?"
Lv seemed to be able to see through my doubts, and dryly laughed a few times. "I'm not from that sect …"
San Mao and I looked at each other in dismay. Now it seemed like Lv was not willing to climb the elevator shaft no matter what, but he had already reached the final step of this long journey. I poked my head into the elevator shaft and shone the flashlight up. The elevator car was parked on the upper floor and a little farther up, stuck in the middle, half through the door. I steeled my heart and said, "How about I go up? I've learned how to climb rocks before, this height is not a problem. Lv, give me the key to the right number, I'll go up and try."
"Can you? Climbing up is no problem, but can you unlock it? " San Mao looked at me suspiciously and said.
"You never killed a pig but you've never seen a pig run? Look how many times Lv has driven it!" I muttered.
"This is not difficult at all. As long as you feel good about your hand, you will understand as soon as you learn it!" At that moment, as long as Lv did not let him climb the elevator shaft, he would be willing to do anything.
I unslung the backpack from my shoulder and stretched again. Lv also took out a key from his bag, and leaned on the steel door, comparing them one by one, and finally choosing a one-sided, one-toothed key.
Lv pulled me to the side, handed me the key, and then instructed, "Use this rubber head of yours to knock on the door. Light, brittle, leave as soon as you touch it, and relax your wrist …" The hand touched the key, and the moment the bullet in the lock opened, the key trembled a little, and that was it. "This lock is for the right. You can open it by turning it two times to the right. When you turn it, it should be light and supple …"
I kept nodding my head as I remembered every single word Lv had said.
"Alright, I'll remember …" After Lv finished speaking, I impatiently walked towards the elevator, wanting to learn how to use it on the spot.
"Ugh …" Yuan... " Lv pulled me back and stammered, "You know … This is my cooking skill... I can still make you think highly of me now, but I'm relying on it now. You … "Don't you dare spread it around …"
I was stunned for a moment before feeling relieved. In this apocalyptic world where everyone felt threatened, who wouldn't have a 'little 99-90' in their hearts?
"Fine, you take me as your last disciple. Without your permission, I won't tell anyone, even San Mao won't! Furthermore, I do not know whether our ancestor will reward us with this bowl of food. " I said, tossing the key in my hand.
"How?" Lv laughed and said: "You're so smart, there definitely won't be a problem."
When everything was ready, I wrapped Lin Hao's headlamp around my head and turned on the switch. The four LED headlamps emitted a gentle light, brightening up the elevator. I turned my head to look at San Mao and saw that he was looking at me with a serious expression. I nodded towards him and jumped into the elevator shaft.
The elevator doors were open, so I just stayed in the air and listened for a while without hearing a sound. Then I slowly stepped onto the elevator frame near the door and used my hands to climb up to the door.
I stuck my head out of the doorway and looked around. The layout of the floor was different, but I didn't pay much attention to it, as long as there were no Zombie. I calmed down and used my arms to climb up.
When I got out of the door, I rubbed my aching arm and looked back, and saw that the elevator car was stuck in the middle of the doorway. I had never seen such a situation, so I was curious and couldn't help but look inside the elevator, and I saw that the layout of the elevator car wasn't the usual kind of thing. The floor buttons were not on either side of the door like the usual elevators, but instead, they were arranged in a straight line across the back of the car, from one to twelve, and the twelve buttons were arranged in a neat row like a belt.
I shook my head and ignored it. I turned to look at the two sides of the room, where the lights came from. There was a red carpet and a straight corridor, and beyond the lights, it was pitch black and seemed to be endless. I felt a chill run down my spine and into the staircase opposite.
I looked and saw that Lv was right. There was no handle here either, only a lock, and it was not welded to death. I knocked lightly on the door, and immediately there was a light knock on the door. I steadied my heart and put the key that Lv had given me into the keyhole.
Holding the key with my left hand, I lifted up the rubber handle that Lv had given me with my right hand and lightly knocked on the key's tail. I felt the left hand holding the key, but I didn't feel the trembling feeling of the bullet opening that Lv said, but I still gently turned the key to the right … I can't turn.
I sighed in frustration as the headlight flashed above the steel door. On the lintel of the door, there was a red "13", and my heart skipped a beat, as I immediately remembered why I felt that something was wrong when I saw the button in the elevator car. The button for the elevator was only at the twelfth floor, while this was the thirteenth floor.
I immediately thought of the possibility that Xu Yang was talking about something unclean. I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. I felt something staring at me from behind, but when I turned around, there was nothing there.
I took a few deep breaths and forced myself to calm down. I thought about what Lv had taught me about the main points of action. This time, my left hand clearly felt a slight tremble. I exhaled and slowly turned the key to the right. The key slowly turned the key in the lock. After a circle, two circles, the lock finally clicked and the door opened.
Everyone scratched their heads and tried to think of something, but the corridor suddenly quieted down, and then there was a clucking sound. I followed the sound and shone my flashlight into the corridor, and found Xu Yang's face pale, his eyes wide and his whole body covered in a sieve of bran.
