Chapter 97: Cafe Escape

[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]

As a matter of habit, in order to protect the Star House Warehouse, You Xi will carry a big bag with her wherever she goes. In the chaos, even if she takes out equipment that is slightly larger than the bag, no one will notice it. It is better than changing things out of thin air.

Be strong when you come up with something.

This cafe is a building along the road, with a total of two floors, with booths above and below. After the first acid rain, because the building was relatively strong, the damage was very small, and it reopened quickly after a day or two of repairs.

After that, the situation in Sailing City has been good. The only rain value was only 28. Gradually, the people who were originally panicked began to breathe a little easier.

You Xi has a world-setting perspective and knows that acid rain does not happen overnight, but people in this world don't know that. Some people think that this situation will continue to happen, while others are more optimistic and feel that the worst is over.

But no matter which way you think, the comfort of being connected for many days has made people let down their guard a little, so at this time, there are customers in the coffee shop, but not many.

A couple came in to pack coffee cakes, a middle-aged working man who looked very anxious and busy with a lot of things, and a father and daughter. The girl was in her twenties, with exquisite appearance, and the father had pale temples and a haggard face. He looked at

Very depressed.

When You Xi came in, the father and daughter were already there, and she accidentally listened to it a few times. It was probably a story about a man who abandoned his wife and daughter when he was young, and then fell into trouble in middle age and wanted his daughter back but refused to forgive his scumbag father.

The young couple were having some conflicts because of the man sending messages to other girls.

The middle-aged working man was begging the person on the phone for a few more days. He didn't want to talk about natural disasters...

Everyone was minding their own business, but when the heavy rain fell and knocked on the glass, everyone's eyes kept turning to the window, and everyone's face showed fear.

For ordinary people, the word rain has become synonymous with horror.

"It's okay, it's just raining. We can run quickly to the nearby subway station and hide there for a while..." Before the man could finish his words to comfort his girlfriend, the pedestrians on the road outside the cafe were already wailing and kneeling in the heavy rain.

.

The piercing, high-pitched screams made everyone in the cafe tremble. Everyone looked at their burned and smoking bodies and trembled in horror.

"Is this... the acid rain with a negative value... Why, how could it happen all of a sudden..." The middle-aged working man didn't even notice that he dropped his cell phone.

But no one answered him. Outside the coffee shop, one of the people who was hit by the black acid rain managed to get up and rushed towards the door of the coffee shop. The few people who were originally gathered in front of the glass immediately retreated subconsciously.

However, the man could not hold on for long and fell to the ground while hitting the glass door.

The automatic door opened a gap, and the man's hand got stuck in the gap. The door could not be closed, and it kept opening and closing. A hole opened in the originally safe and sealed space. Acid rain from outside splashed in, and at the same time, it came

There is also a strong pungent smell.

Almost at the same moment, several people near the cafe door started coughing.

They retreated in panic, just wanting to stay away from the door, but the rain splashing in from outside had begun to corrode the ground at the door, and acidic gas spread in the air bit by bit, like a reminder.

No one dared to step forward for fear of being corroded by acid rain if accidentally exposed to it.

When You Xi changed into protective equipment from the bathroom, she saw the situation at the door through her protective glasses. She was wearing a [Hydrating Breathing Mask] and was not afraid of acidic gases, but she had not yet planned her route out of the cafe and did not want to wait by herself.

Will become the target of public criticism.

She checked the situation at the door, quickly returned to the bathroom, pulled an iron bar from the iron carvings on the door, and bent one end into a hook shape.

Then, You Xi came to the door, first kicked the nearby sofa seat to the door, then stepped on the sofa, saw the right moment, and took advantage of the automatic door to open to the maximum, hooking the man's arm and dragging him in.

When people enter the coffee shop, the automatic door does not sense an object and closes automatically.

You Xi threw away the iron bar that had begun to corrode, jumped on a table nearby, and locked the automatic glass door.

She jumped off the ground and looked at the unrecognizable person on the ground, who had already lost his breath.

The crisis was over, and everyone in the cafe breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they all looked at You Xi curiously, not only because of her neat skills and reactions, but also because she looked so safe in her equipment.

In fact, the young couple also had two sets of spare protective suits in their backpacks, but they didn't look as safe and thick as hers.

You Xi stood up and scanned the people in the store. In addition to the five customers, there were three clerks. She walked directly to the young couple: "You just said that there is a subway station next to it. Where is it?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then told her that the subway station was at the intersection between the two cafes. The distance was really not far, and it was only fifty or sixty meters away. But now, let alone fifty or sixty meters, even one meter would be exposed.

They can also be seriously injured in acid rain.

"Is there any other shortcut?" You Xi asked again.

"Let me think."

While the man was trying to remember, You Xi went to the store clerk again and asked them where they kept the spare protective clothing and masks in the store.

After acid rain falls, any store that reopens will have several sets of protective clothing in the store, especially in such a high-end coffee shop, not only for the store staff, but also for the customers.

When the clerk went to the warehouse to get protective clothing, the couple patted their heads and finally came to their senses.

He told You Xi that there is a glass overpass on the second floor of the restaurant next to this cafe and towards the road on the side. You can walk through the glass overpass to the elevator on the opposite side, and the elevator goes directly to it.

metro station.

The middle-aged working man couldn't help but feel discouraged after hearing this: "You still have to go out from the coffee shop. It's two stores away, which is at least 20 to 30 meters away! I won't go to you to go to the coffee shop. It's fine to stay in the coffee shop."

It’s safe, as long as the rain stops in a while.”

At this time, the clerk had already taken out the spare protective clothing from the warehouse. Seeing this, the middle-aged working man quickly reached out and grabbed one.

The couple complained: "It's shameless to grab protective clothing if you don't go out..."

Time was running out, so You Xi ignored these things. She pointed to the wall on the right side of the cafe and asked the couple if the glass overpass was in this direction.

After the other party nodded, he saw her picking up the big bag again and was surprised: "You don't really plan to go out now, do you? It would be great to hide in the coffee shop with us!"

You Xi fixed his backpack on his chest, then pointed to the top of the wall next to the cafe's door: "This is black acid rain, this building won't last long."

Everyone looked in the direction she indicated and found that water stains had begun to seep out from the edge of the wall. In other words, the water stains did not seep in, but leaked in after corroding the outer wall.

Not only the corner next to the gate, but also the other corners near the outer edge of the building are seeing water...

The black acid rain had only fallen for less than five minutes, but the wall had already begun to rot. Only then did they realize that the cafe was not safe at all.

Everyone was frightened and immediately began to scramble to get protective clothing and wear it.

However, there were not many protective suits. Except for the young couple who had not taken any of them, after everyone else had finished wearing them, they discovered that there was another person who had not gotten the protective clothing. He was the father of the father and daughter.

The atmosphere was a little subtle. People wearing protective clothing stood silently away, but they looked at the heavy rain outside and the corroded green plants, cars and street lights in the rain, and they were also filled with fear. This protective clothing can really protect against the acid rain outside.

?

When despair filled the air, a thumping sound was heard from the side.

You Xi held the fire ax she got from the fire cabinet and hit the wall of the cafe hard with the back of the ax. After a few times, she looked at the angle and kicked hard at the cracked wall.

With a loud bang, she kicked a big hole in the wall.

The back of the hole reveals the space of the store next to it.

Everyone:......

This, this is okay?!

There is no one in the shop next to the coffee shop. It is a clothing store and is not open today.

After everyone entered, while You Xi continued to smash the wall leading to the next store, several clerks immediately searched the warehouse to find another pair of protective clothing.

But this store probably hasn't been open since the acid rain. They searched the whole store and couldn't find a full set of protective clothing. They only found a half-length pair of protective pants and a pair of protective shoes.

Better than nothing, the father put it on immediately, while his daughter watched him silently without making a sound.

He raised his head and smiled at his daughter, saying that it didn't matter. They would not be exposed to the rain if they walked through the store, and they would be able to get to the subway station before all the buildings here were corroded.

You Xi quickly broke through the wall. In fact, she could go faster. With her strength, just kicking this kind of wall would be enough, but that would be too strong, and she didn't want to attract too much attention.

The restaurant was open and there were people inside. The group's actions shocked them. The few people inside thought the house had been corroded and collapsed, so they gathered together screaming.

You Xi heard a familiar voice in the crowd, glanced away, and saw two familiar people: Bai Yu and... Feng Xu?

She thought about how she was dressing up at the moment and decided to pretend that she didn't know them.

People in the restaurant were also nervously wearing protective equipment. The cafe clerk wanted to find another set of protective clothing, but the other party did not have any extra. In fact, Feng Xu and Bai Yu also brought their own protective clothing.

The walls of the restaurant were in worse condition than those of the cafe, and had been corroded with cracks and holes. You Xi frowned, yelled, and rushed upstairs first.

On the second floor of the restaurant facing east is a long horizontal glass terrace, and a glass sky bridge connects the terrace on this side to the direct elevator on the opposite side.

Unfortunately, in the middle of the glass overpass, a large hole was made in one side of the glass wall by something that fell from nowhere. At this moment, acid rain leaked in from the broken glass wall, and the originally smooth and safe overpass became a dangerous bridge.

.

At the same time, the system released new random tasks.

[The random mission has been refreshed (special hidden mission): Ensure that Feng Xu arrives at the subway station safely. (You will receive 80 star coins if you complete it.
