Strongman rushed out to help sign the receipt. Just as he and the two boys carried the dinner they ordered in, they heard a loud rumble outside. It was thunder.
Then the sound of the rain followed. It was like the Milky Way had burst, and the rain was pouring down like a waterfall.
The delivery boy rushed into the rain and quickly disappeared in the wind and rain.
Because of the heavy rain, they couldn't eat in the courtyard.
Mei Xiawen directed everyone to collect their dinners and return to their rooms to eat.
Gu Nianzhi ate her dinner as she habitually looked at her phone. Her brows furrowed.
"What's wrong? Little Four? What's there to be upset about? I'm telling you, Class Rep was great today. He ignored that scheming bitch from Class Two. Don't worry! "Little Temptress thought Gu Nianzhi was angry at Mei Xiawen.
Gu Nianzhi ignored Little Temptress and set down her chopsticks. She walked around the room with her phone raised. She tried everywhere and finally went to the door.
It was still raining cats and dogs, and there was the occasional rumble of thunder.
Was that the reason? Was that why there was no signal?
"What's she doing?" Green Tea Fang was shocked and asked Lady Cao, "Is Little Four okay?"
Lady Cao also frowned as she looked at her phone. She said in bewilderment, "Little Four is looking for a signal. What's going on? My phone has no signal either … "
"Something's wrong with your phone?" Little Temptress took out her phone, "Look at my new Vertu diamond phone! Huh? It looks like there's really no signal?! "
Green Tea Fang took out her iPhone and tried it, but there was no signal either.
Gu Nianzhi had already turned around. Her face was pale as she looked at them. Although she tried to stay calm, the panic in her eyes was obvious.
"No signal, there's no signal anywhere." Gu Nianzhi said, her face pale, "I need to go online."
She tried to connect to the resort's Wi-Fi, but found that there was no internet!
"What's going on?!" Little Temptress screamed, "No internet?! How can I live like this?! "
Everyone was used to the constant company of the internet.
Disconnection had become one of the three worst tortures of the new century.
Gu Nianzhi stared at her phone and thought for a long time. She opened the door and walked along the corridor to find Mei Xiawen. She asked him if there was any way to borrow the phone from the resort.
…
"Nianzhi! You're here? Are you looking for the class monitor? " Strongman was very enthusiastic when he saw Gu Nianzhi wearing a grass green camouflage t-shirt. He quickly invited her in.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I'll wait for him here."
"Class Rep, Nianzhi's looking for you!" Strongman saw that Gu Nianzhi refused to come in, so he quickly turned around and called out.
Mei Xiawen had just finished eating and was about to shower when he heard Strongman say Nianzhi had arrived. He hurriedly wiped his hair and came out of the bathroom. He looked around but didn't see Gu Nianzhi. He grabbed Strongman and asked, "Where's Nianzhi? Didn't you say she was here? "
"He's at the door. He didn't come in," Strongman said with a smile and pointed outside the door.
Mei Xiawen quickly pushed the door open and went out to see Gu Nianzhi standing gracefully in the corridor in the pitch-black night. The misty rain became her backdrop, and the exquisite platinum lilac earrings on her white earlobes glowed brilliantly. Her skin was smooth and creamy, and she looked so delicate and beautiful that he wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms and cherish her. He was afraid that if his breath was too strong, he would blow her away in the rain.
Mei Xiawen's heart softened. "Nianzhi, I was just about to go look for you. Our hearts are connected."
Gu Nianzhi didn't respond to Mei Xiawen's affectionate gaze. She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the door. She whispered, "Xiawen, I want to call my family, but there's no cell signal here. The internet is also down. Can you do me a favor and ask someone here to borrow their phone?"
A telephone line was much more reliable than a cell signal station in a critical moment.
Mei Xiawen froze. "No cell signal? No internet? That's impossible. I've been here more than a dozen times and this has never happened. "
He quickly returned to his room and tried his phone. There was no signal, then he tried the Wi-Fi. It was the same. "Currently unavailable."
"How could this be?" Mei Xiawen's brows furrowed.
People in the modern world without cell phones and internet were like losing half their lives.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? Let's go borrow a phone, okay? "Gu Nianzhi was anxious.
Mei Xiawen looked at her and stuffed his phone back into his trouser pocket. "It's raining heavily outside. Let's go borrow a phone when the rain stops.
Gu Nianzhi looked back at the heavy rain and nodded helplessly. "Okay, I'll go back first."
She was about to leave listlessly when she heard a voice in the rain, "Miss Gu, did you drop this plastic bag?"
Gu Nianzhi looked up in surprise.
In the dark of the night, in the pouring rain, an ordinary-looking man, who would have been lost in a crowd, walked out in the rain. He was wearing a jumper and carrying a black plastic bag.
Gu Nianzhi was about to say she didn't bring the bag when she looked closely. It was someone she knew.
She used to see him often at the Special Forces base. She hadn't seen him since she went to C University and moved out of the base.
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. "Where did you find it??"
Mei Xiawen squinted at the plastic bag. His brows furrowed even more. "Nianzhi, why are you using this? It's not environmentally friendly at all. "
Gu Nianzhi was anxious to speak to the man. She pushed Mei Xiawen inside and said, "Xiawen, you go in first. I have something to say to him. It's someone I know. Don't worry."
Mei Xiawen looked at the average-looking man, then at Gu Nianzhi, who was as delicate as a spring onion. He pursed his lips and went back to his room resentfully.
As soon as Mei Xiawen left, the man immediately pulled Gu Nianzhi to an unoccupied corridor in the corner of Qingfeng Garden. He said quietly, "Miss Gu, do you remember me? I work for Huo Shao. My job is to protect Miss Gu. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I remember you. Hello, Brother Li. Why are you here? Are Huo Shao and the others here too? "
She was instantly happy.
If Huo Shao was here, she wouldn't have anything to fear!
"Now is not the time for pleasantries." Brother Li's expression was grim. "Huo Shao didn't come. I was sent by Huo Shao to protect you. I followed you here yesterday. I didn't expect something like this to happen. There's no cell signal and internet today. I thought something was wrong, so I came to tell you. "
Half an hour ago, he discovered that the cell signal and internet had been cut off at the same time. He quickly went to the cell signal station on the nearby mountain to check. He discovered that it was obviously sabotaged by someone. It wouldn't be fixed in a short time.
He had lost contact with the Special Forces. He didn't know if they'd noticed something was wrong.
It was Saturday, so there were fewer people at the base than usual.
If the people on duty were to slack off, they would probably only realize something was wrong the next day.
But it would be too late if they waited until the next day to realize something was wrong.
Brother Li couldn't care less about contacting the base. He anxiously went to find Gu Nianzhi and planned to take her away.
As long as they got to a place with cell signal, they would be out of danger.
Gu Nianzhi's mouth opened and closed. She asked in disbelief, "… You were sent by Huo Shao to protect me? How come I didn't know? "
