Chapter 1688 Helpless

Cai Meiwen was very happy at first when she heard the news of the typhoon's holiday. After all, it was equivalent to earning a holiday for nothing. She could spend more time with Xiao Celery and finish the accumulated housework.

Thinking of Little Celery, her heart suddenly tightened, she immediately turned on her phone, and was surprised to see a message from the school teacher x-on: ALL PARENTS in the class group, and this message was more than half an hour ago, she was busy with work and ignored the message on her phone , because I subconsciously feel that the new semester has just started, and it is impossible to ask the parents for any urgent matters. Besides, if there is anything wrong with Xiao Celery, the teacher will definitely chat with her privately or call her to discuss it.

There are also a few parents in the company, and they are not in a hurry, because there are others in their family who can pick up the children, and Cai Meiqin has no one in this city who can help.

She immediately x-on:teacher, asked if Xiao Celery had left school, and got an affirmative answer.

Her home is a high-rise residence. Although there is no danger of flooding, there is another problem - fear of power outages. Once the power outage occurs, she will have to climb more than 20 floors. What is even more worrying is that if the power outage happens to be in the elevator, That would be terrible, because it is impossible for someone to come to rescue quickly in the typhoon, and I don't know how long I will be trapped in the elevator. In case the elevator...

Horror scenes of out-of-control elevators in movies and news frequently appeared in her mind, and her heart was so tight that she wished she could go home one step at a time.

She tried to call the landline at home, but no one answered. Based on the time, Xiao Celery might be home soon.

It started to rain outside, with wind and thunder, and there was only a few seconds between the first drop of rain and the downpour.

Cai Meiwen left the company in a panic. She usually commutes by bus, but at this time public transportation is almost completely paralyzed, and she can neither see the bus nor hail a taxi.

Fortunately, there is a colleague who drives to work, that is, the female colleague who helped her test Xiao Celery before, saw her at the bus stop, and kindly stopped to give her a ride.

The colleague was also in a hurry to go home, saying that he could only drive her to a place not too far from home, even so, she was very grateful. In the car, she kept calling her landline at home, but no one answered.

The bad traffic conditions were beyond her imagination. Along the way, she saw countless traffic accidents. In addition to the reason why people were rushing home and driving violently, the bad weather also played a big role. The torrential rain made the wipers useless, and the outside of the car window was hazy, and only the lights of the front and rear cars could be vaguely seen. If someone walked or rode a bicycle through the traffic, it would definitely be too late to react.

The traffic conditions on the lanes are so bad that cyclists and electric vehicles can only encroach on the sidewalks in order to ensure their own safety. There are many incidents of pedestrians being knocked down by bicycles and electric vehicles.

Cai Meiwen was very anxious, she didn't expect the situation to be so serious, if she knew this, it would be safer for her daughter to stay at school obediently and wait for her to pick her up.

For the first time, she felt remorse for letting her daughter go to and from school alone. Whether her daughter was injured on the road or trapped in the elevator, she would never forgive herself.

The car drove like a snail to a fork in the road. This is the place where the colleague agreed with her to get off. The colleague kindly gave her an umbrella, but she refused. It is meaningless to open an umbrella in this kind of weather. Will be swept away by the wind. She wrapped the phone in a plastic bag and put it in her bag, and rushed into the rain curtain without hesitation.

The stagnant water on the ground has covered the calves, and the sky seems to have been pierced with a hole.

She wears high-heeled shoes to work, the heels are not particularly high, and she walks in water with one deep foot and one shallow foot. After walking a few steps, she realized that the high heels greatly restricted her walking speed, they were washed straight down by the water, and the heels were stuck in something from time to time, so she decisively broke off the heels and turned the high heels into into flat shoes.

It's a pity that high heels are not sports shoes after all, they don't have laces, and one shoe is washed away as you walk, and you can't find it if you try to find it. After a while, the other shoe was also washed away.

She gritted her teeth and walked forward barefoot.

At this time, she had already seen the outline of her residential area, but she was afraid of something, the community was dark, and the power was obviously cut off-this is not surprising, she already had a premonition, because almost all the residential areas along the way were blacked out.

It was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Xiao Celery didn't have any lighting tools, no mobile phone or flashlight, so he had to grope and climb up the twenty-odd floors alone in the invisible corridor? What is even more frightening is the sudden power outage while taking the elevator.

She found a place where she could shelter from the rain, took out her mobile phone and tried to call the property owner, asking them to help check if anyone was trapped in the elevator of the building where she lived.

It seems that the community is not far away, but it takes a long time to walk there in such bad weather. If the property management can help, it will save a lot of time, and it will also be a reassurance for her.

This damn property, when it comes to collecting fees, it is very diligent to rush to the door every day. Every time the owner needs to find them for something, they are never found.

Today was no exception. The property's phone rang many times, but no one answered it.

She was angry and desperate, her chest was so constricted that she was about to explode, and she almost threw the phone on the ground and broke it.

She wanted to cry a lot. Since raising her daughter alone, she had never been so lonely and helpless. It was as if the whole world had abandoned their mother and daughter.

But this is not the time to cry, even if you want to cry, you have to wait until you find your daughter before crying.

She kept praying to all the gods and Buddhas she knew in her heart. This is also a sudden illness.

Even if she returns to the community, what will she do? First, climb the stairs from the first floor to the floor where their house is. If there is no Celery in the stairwell or at home, then Celery has either not returned to the community, or is trapped in the elevator—she would rather be the former, Because if the elevator is trapped, and the power is out now, how to determine which floor or between which two floors the elevator is trapped on?

There is no relevant knowledge in her common sense.

If she couldn't find Xiao Celery in the stairwell, at home, or in the elevator, then she would follow the route that Xiao Celery often took to go to school from home to school, and she would never give up until she found Xiao Celery.

Just when she gritted her teeth and was about to rush into the rain curtain again, her mobile phone rang. She checked and found that the caller was from an unfamiliar number.

For her, every minute and every second is precious now, and it is related to the safety of Xiao Celery. If the number is wrong...

After hesitating for a while, she still connected the phone, because the number was a local mobile phone number. She hoped that someone would tell her about Xiao Celery, but at the same time, she was worried...it was bad news.
