Chapter 708 Ode to Joy 12
Fan Shengmei frantically dialed the emergency contact number and began hurling insults at the property management staff on the other end of the line.
Fan Shengmei breathed a sigh of relief after the property management assured her that they would provide a swift rescue, but her fear remained.
Seeing Andy's pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, Lin Jiu figured he probably had claustrophobia. After thinking for a moment, she took a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to Andy, saying, "Have some water and calm down!"
Seeing the friendliness in Lin Jiu's eyes, Andy's fingers, which were hanging by his side, twitched slightly. He then slowly took the water from Lin Jiu and whispered, "Thank you!"
Lin Jiu smiled and said, "You're too kind!"
Then, with Andy's knowing look, Lin Jiu silently raised his hand and pressed all the floor buttons below the 16th floor in the elevator one by one.
After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei suddenly noticed Lin Jiu's actions and her heart tightened. She hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
She really couldn't understand why, instead of waiting for the property management to come and rescue her at this critical moment, she was randomly pressing the elevator buttons. Wasn't that just courting death?
Despite her life being in a terrible state, Fan Shengmei still cherishes her hard-won life!
At this moment, Fan Shengmei was not the only one who shared the same view; Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer, and Qu Xiaoxiao, who were standing next to her, felt the same way.
They stared wide-eyed at Lin Jiu, their faces filled with astonishment, as if she were courting death!
Faced with the questioning gazes of the crowd, Lin Jiu, who had not yet spoken, appeared somewhat innocent.
Andy, who had been as quiet as air in the corner, began to sweat profusely.
She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and slowly said, "Don't panic, everyone. We're currently on the sixteenth floor. If we can press all the buttons for each floor below, even if the elevator plummets, the system might automatically restore braking force and stop it. In other words, this gives us a full sixteen chances to be rescued."
These words struck like a thunderbolt through the sky, and like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart.
For a moment, the entire elevator fell into a deathly silence, with only Andy's slightly hoarse voice echoing in the air...
Lin Jiu blinked hard, her tone unwavering: "That's right, that's the truth. Besides, the elevator itself is a cramped space with scarce oxygen, and we've been stuck here for over ten minutes. At this moment, the wisest course of action is to remain silent, conserve our energy, and maintain steady breathing!"
Then, Andy added without hesitation, "Quickly take off your shoes, press your head and back firmly against the elevator wall, and bend your legs slightly. This way, even if the elevator suddenly drops rapidly, you can minimize the damage to your body!" After saying that, she immediately put it into practice and personally demonstrated the correct posture.
Lin Jiu's unquestionable tone, coupled with Andy's decisive and efficient demeanor, instilled a sense of awe in everyone present, who involuntarily began to imitate their words and actions.
As a result, the once noisy and chaotic elevator interior instantly became completely silent.
However, despite the calm surface, undercurrents were actually surging – several heavy and rapid breaths echoed throughout the elevator, as if each breath carried a heavy weight, instilling fear and creating a sense of oppression.
