Another World: That's too much. I have to start from scratch to get the contribution value.

Chapter 34 Blocking out the sky and the sun

Anjiu left before he arrived.

When she passed by Pu Huai's room, many people had already come in. She went back to greet Grandma An first, then stood quietly behind the crowd, trying her best to make herself less noticeable.

In the next few days, she was busy absorbing primary crystals, and the space finally expanded from 0.11 to 0.5 square meters. Although it was not too big, it was enough for the time being.

Anjiu took advantage of his off-get off work time to go to the Cailutong store, wanting to buy a roll of tape to fix the glass, but was told that it was sold out. The only place with the tape in the entire building was a large supermarket on the first floor, but he needed to swipe his permission all the way.

She had no choice but to return empty-handed.

The atmosphere in the building was so heavy that people could be seen pacing around anxiously, scratching their heads like flies rubbing their hands, and eventually being driven home by the administrators in hoarse voices, regardless of the means.

In the past, the building would become quiet after nightfall, but now, you could still hear rapid breathing until late at night.

Everyone couldn't sleep well and was listening to the rustling sound of dust hitting the windows.

Anjiu worked hard at mining during the day, and his physical strength exceeded the critical point again and again. When he got home, he was exhausted and almost fell asleep.

Grandma An was terrified and had no desire to sleep at all. Her fingers tightly grasped the quilt and she dared not move her eyes away from the glass.

Every time she heard the ominous cracking sound, her heart skipped a beat, and then pounded against her chest even more violently.

The sky outside was grayer than usual.

Living on the 48th floor, the view is extremely far.

Grandma An loosened her wet palms, rubbed her eyes hard, and then looked wide-eyed at the huge, vertical, dark line in the distance again.

If she was not mistaken, it was...

Grandma An stretched out her legs and stepped on the ground, trembling. Perhaps she was frightened by the fear in her heart and almost fell down. She put her hands on the bed to steady her body, took small steps, and slowly approached the glass window.

The sky outside seemed to be split into two halves, this side was dark yellow, and the other side was... a black cloud covering the sky.

No, the left side is black, the right side is black too, and the only thing left is the sky above their heads, which is the last yellow that is about to be swallowed up.

rustle.

rustle.

Tiny grains of sand hit the glass and seemed to blow through the cracks and into her eyes.

Grandma An squeezed her eyes hard and tears welled up in her eyes.

She backed away, tears dropping in brown circles at her feet.

She was forced to stop until her legs hit the bed rails.

The wind has become stronger and sand is blowing onto the glass continuously.

In the corridor, there were screams of neighbors awakened from their dreams. The tense atmosphere that had been suppressed on the 48th floor for days finally erupted with the sound of shattering glass in the house at the end.

"Help! The wind is blowing in!!"

Click, click, click.

The sound of metal locking came from everyone's door at almost the same time.

"Save me! Let me out!!"

Along with the cries for help came a strong gust of wind.

The curtain was blown away with a whiz, and the plastic basin was easily rolled up and smashed on Anjiu's face.

She woke up instantly.

"how--"

The voice was still stuck in his throat, but his eyes suddenly widened and the sleepiness disappeared.

Outside the window, a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun was rushing in from the right.

"Stay away from the glass!" Grandma An screamed with a pale face.

Anjiu stood up, grabbed grandma's hand and ran out the door.

She pulled the bolt and felt something was wrong when she pulled it hard. She looked down and a chill rose from the soles of her feet - when was it locked!

The biting wind blew along the corridor, and screams of pain, fear, and terror rose one after another, filling everyone's heart.

Anjiu pushed the door with all her strength, but the delicate lock underneath seemed to be connected to the wall, and no matter how hard she tried, there was no sign of it opening.

As another glass shattered, desperate curses were shouted out loudly.

It was dirty, unpleasant to the ear, revealing helplessness and a desire for life, but it was like a guillotine, completely cutting off his life.

"what--!"

It was as if the volume instantly dropped from 100% to 0, and no sound belonging to that person could be heard anymore.

In his palms, Grandma An's hands kept shaking. An Jiu pushed her to the door, turned around, pulled off the bed sheet, and quickly wrapped it around Grandma An's waist, tying it tightly to the fence door.

"...Then what will you do?" Grandma An's eyes were full of fear.

The family was poor and they only had this one bed sheet. She used it, so what did Xiaojiu use?

She tried to untie the bed sheet with trembling hands, but Anjiu forced her down.

"Don't worry about me, I have a solution."

It was as black as thick ink outside the window, and the sand and stones trapped inside hit the window with a sudden force. The glass, which was already covered with cracks, was on the verge of shattering!

Anjiu didn't bother to hide it. He picked up the plastic basin and red bucket and stuffed them into the space - these were the only property in the family and they must not be blown away by the wind!

The thin quilts and mattresses were also rolled up and stuffed in.

She tried to lay the bed down to block the sand and stones, but found that the legs of the bed were nailed firmly to the ground and could not be moved at all.

Click.

The faint cracking sound was almost inaudible amid the raging wind.

But An Jiu was sharp enough to notice it at the first moment. She picked up the pillow and immediately ran to the door. She hugged Grandma An and put the pillow over her head. She threw her clothes aside to cover her head, bent down and turned sideways, holding the iron fence tightly with her right hand.

At the same second, the glass completely shattered and a strong wind blew in violently.

Sand and rocks carried by the wind smashed down on us.

Anjiu endured the pain in his body and fixed the corners of his clothes to prevent them from being blown away by the wind. At least he had a layer of clothes on to avoid being cut by sharp stones.

But soon, she found that she had underestimated the power of the sandstorm. Although only a piece of glass was blown up temporarily, the wind was pervasive and powerful. Even though she held on to the fence tightly, she vaguely felt that she was about to be swept away.

Under the force, her right hand hurt and her entire arm was almost pulled apart.

In a moment of distraction, the clothes covering his head were suddenly lifted up, and instantly broke free from his hands, spinning around his head and getting entangled between the fences.

"Hold on to your pillow!"

His ears were filled with the roar of the wind, and An Jiu could only lean close to Grandma An's ears and shout at the top of his voice.

She also grabbed the fence with her left hand, resisting the huge suction behind her, and tried her best to pass her legs through the gaps between the fences and coiled them to resist the wind.

But this means that her back and the back of her head are completely unprotected and she is left to take the damage.

It was clearly just a small piece of stone, but it hurt so much when it hit her body, especially her head. She grimaced in pain and gasped, but she didn't dare let go, as the sandstorm would blow her away in an instant.

Suddenly, An Jiu found that the pain in her body was gone. She turned around in surprise and found that it was Grandma An standing behind her.

Her face was pale, but she tried her best to curl the corners of her mouth to comfort Anjiu.

"Don't be afraid, grandma is here."

"Your great-grandfather protected me back then, and now it's my turn to protect you."
