Chapter 227 The Blocked Apartment
In the corridor outside the elevator, there were no. 40 people standing crowded. These people were men and women, and they seemed to be young, and they should be around 30 years old on average.

Everyone's face was full of anger and anxiety, but after seeing Xia Qi and the others coming up in the elevator, the expression on their faces instantly changed to surprise.

"Did they come up in the elevator?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, these people are in the elevator, tell me how they got up!"

"But isn't this elevator broken, how can it still go up?"

"Perhaps it will be all right now."

"..."

Everyone in the corridor was discussing, and their emotions became more and more excited.But when they saw Wu Dagang lying in the elevator like a dead dog behind Xia Qi, many people couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Look, there's a man falling down in the elevator, and the face... is blood?"

"Dead?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Xia Qi suddenly had a guess in his heart. As for He Yuying and Nie Feng who were also standing in the elevator, they looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

But before Xia Qi and the people on his side could speak, someone from the residents standing in the corridor stood up and asked:
"Are you from this apartment too?"

"What's the matter with that person, is he injured or not?"

Hearing the residents' inquiries, Xia Qi walked out of the elevator unhurriedly at this time, and then said to everyone with a smile on his face:
"We are not residents of this apartment. As for this person, he is our friend. He was injured a little, but it should be fine."

Xia Qi didn't say too much, after all, he didn't quite know what was going on in the apartment now, he just knew that the apartment was sealed and only allowed to enter but not to exit.

Xia Qi's explanation did not arouse the suspicion of the residents, not because what he said seemed true, but because the residents didn't care about Wu Dagang's life or death at all.

Then I heard someone say:
"Since the elevator can go up, maybe it can go down, let's go in and try."

Hearing this person's proposal, more than half of the 40 or so people rushed towards the elevator. Seeing this, Xia Qi had no choice but to hide aside, watching the situation in the elevator with cold eyes.

"Can you stop squeezing, if you can go down, do you still care about this moment?"

"It's easy for you to say. This elevator is good and bad. Who knows if it will be able to go down next time."

"Can you step back, step on me."

"Fuck, the elevator is already full, can the people in the back stop the fucking crowd. With so many people crowded, no one can go down if the elevator is overweight."

The elevator was overcrowded and chaotic, which can be said to fully demonstrate the selfishness and ignorance of people in times of crisis.

But there is no shortage of calm people. Just when the people outside were still trying to squeeze into the elevator, they heard a woman with a long face say:

"Don't be crowded, even if the elevator goes down this time, it will break down next time, but as long as someone gets out and can contact the people outside and the property, the rest of the people can still go out.

There are so many people crowding into the elevator, even if the elevator door is crushed, it is impossible to fit all of them, and the crowded people are easy to get injured. "

The woman yelled and said it several times in a row, until a few people felt that it made sense after hearing it, and then she began to mobilize the people around her to exit the elevator.

In this way, another seven or eight minutes were wasted before the residents who had been crowded in the elevator came out reluctantly.

The elevator was no longer overcrowded, and those who stayed in the elevator repeatedly assured that they would contact the outside world after they got out, and then pressed the button leading to the first floor.

It's just that the elevator door just closed, and then opened again without warning.

"Can't you go down?"

"No way?"

"You are trying, try a few more times, since they can come up, they will definitely be able to go down...!"

Taking advantage of the repeated attempts of the people in the elevator, Xia Qi found a talkative resident nearby, and asked that person very curiously:
"So many people are scrambling to squeeze into the elevator, what happened? Is the elevator broken or something?"

"Don't mention it, suddenly there is no signal at all in this broken building, and no one's mobile phone can get through. Not only that, the elevator is also out of order, and no one can even think about going down."

"There is no signal on the mobile phone? Isn't it impossible to let the people in the property repair it?"

After hearing this, Xia Qi also pretended to be surprised and said.

"Hey, that's why when I saw you guys coming up in the elevator, I thought the elevator was ready. Don't you all squeeze your head and want to go down. Let me see, it's still useless."

Xia Qi nodded symbolically, and asked as if he suddenly remembered something:
"Are all the residents here? Or are there some who have not come out?"

"There should be some people who don't know what happened. The reason why there are so many people crowded here is because the upstairs people take the elevator down, and they can't get down to this floor."

"If that's the case, how did the elevator get down to the first floor?"

"It went down by itself. At that time, we pressed the door desperately but didn't open it. We could only watch it go down."

"Oh, that's over, we can't go out now. Hey."

Xia Qi sighed empathetically, the man shook his head and said with emotion:

"Wait, what else can we do?"

As soon as Xia Qi learned about the situation from this resident, the people in the elevator had tried no less than ten times, but the elevator remained motionless, with no intention of going down at all. Although the elevator door would close, it would then will open again.

"Okay, let me tell you, don't bother. The elevator is still broken. It can go up but not down. It's better to wait for the property to repair it."

Seeing the people in the elevator busy for a while, the residents outside were all disappointed, and felt a little uneasy inexplicably.

Just when the people in the elevator were about to give up and leave the elevator, Xia Qi thought about it and shouted at the people inside:

"Don't come out first, since you can't go downstairs, can you go upstairs?"

"What's the use of going up? The mobile phone has no signal and can't communicate with the outside world."

"If we can go up, we will all go back and be done. We will wait for someone to repair and come out again."

Xia Qi just wanted to confirm whether the stairs could be moved between the 9th floor and the 15th floor, but the result actually resonated with many people, and they didn't want to wait here in the sweltering heat.

Seeing that people outside proposed to go up and have a look, the people in the elevator didn't say anything more, and tried to press the upper floor, but the elevator actually went up slowly after closing the door.
