Gu Ji tried to sort out the current situation.

Disaster location: A certain building in Northern Myanmar.

Type of disaster: Ground deformation disaster, that is, ground collapse, subsidence, or cracking.

The cause of judgment is the loss of gravity fall before he fainted, obviously the whole building rapidly descending, feeling like it's falling into the ground.

Like public health events, geological disasters also have graded responses.

Once a disaster occurs, the first step is to determine the emergency response level and activation conditions, which means determining the scale and reporting the information to the local or central government according to the severity, establishing an earthquake relief command group, gathering structural and rescue experts to discuss plans, and having the command group coordinate efforts, with the full cooperation of military, police, fire department, and medical systems to form an integrated search and rescue.

Then there are specific search and rescue methods: manual, search dogs, instrument detection, casualty handling, etc...

The above is the current mainstream emergency response process for natural disasters in the world's major countries.

If this disaster had occurred in southern Myanmar, it would likely follow the same procedure.

But unfortunately, this is Northern Myanmar, where warlords rule, and the central government is powerless to control it. It's hard to play by the rules, and the local warlords also lack motivation for rescue, as most of the people in this building are illegal immigrants from the Xia Kingdom, not to mention the huge cost and effort required.

So, it's difficult for Gu Ji to wait for timely and effective rescue.

To survive, he must find a way to rescue himself.

The building has fallen into the ground, and the only way to survive is naturally to climb upwards!

After carefully sorting it out, Gu Ji finally understood the reason for the game's first objective, which, like "survive for 20 minutes" and "not be infected within three days," are all survival tasks that are not easy.

"Reaching the 10th floor" seems simple.

But don't forget, after the ground subsides, the building's structure is severely twisted, and conventional elevators and stairways may have completely collapsed, making it possible to be trapped on a certain level forever without effective tools.

Secondly, secondary disasters triggered by ground movements: fire, underground flooding, gas leaks, explosions, and if the building is buried in soil, oxygen supply will be an issue.

Finally, the most direct and serious problem is the induced disaster.

Famine and social structural instability!

The former is easy to understand, it's a food issue. Gu Ji doesn't know how many floors this building has, nor whether reaching the top floor will mean reaching the ground level, so he must consider survival supplies for the next few days, especially water sources.

As for the latter...

Gu Ji turned his head and looked at the orange-haired woman getting up from the ground, holding a steel pipe, still maintaining a strange smile, staring straight at him like a madwoman.

That's right.

After the ground subsided, the building was completely isolated from the world, even more closed off than a cruise ship at sea. In such a completely dark, independent environment, the original social and legal rules would quickly collapse, and let alone here in Northern Myanmar, the building consists mostly of illegal criminals, each carrying a few lives on their hands.

It's no exaggeration to say.

This is a real-life underground "Demon Tower"!

Every floor Gu Ji climbs, he must face attacks from various strangers, possibly with fists, steel pipes, or even guns!

No matter.

First, get supplies.

Determining the survival goal, he began to take action, first coming to the corpse of Hui to strip off his clothes. After the building fell underground, the environmental temperature significantly dropped, the air was cold and damp, causing him to shiver.

Hui seemed to be about his size.

After putting on the black shirt and gray casual trousers, Gu Ji felt a bit warmer, reaching into the pocket and finding a Xiaomi phone and some documents.

He used Hui's fingerprint to unlock the phone.

With no signal underground, he first opened the camera to check his appearance.

Middle-aged, almost forty years old, slightly overweight, with half-shut eyes, his hair was black and blue with dust, messy, and greasy, much like a miner. Yet, perhaps due to long suppression underground in the mines, he emitted a fierce aura, resembling a Yanbian hitman from the movies.

He also looked through the phone's messages, notes, photos, and other information.

Besides various luxurious entertainment venue photos in the album, there were some lowly forced acts towards young girls, including a video of that orange-haired woman being forcibly taken by Dahai and several others.

Continuing to browse further, some company photos started to appear.

It turns out that the company he's working for is called Jinyuan Group, engaged in multiple industries like real estate, mining, medical services, casinos, KTV, and telecommunication tech parks. The so-called tech park is actually a front for telecom fraud, while the mining involves selling people from the mainland as slave laborers, provided with only basic meals and meager wages while working tirelessly in underground mine pits.

This is probably the real reason why "Wa Xueming" wanted to return to the country.

From the vast amount of military-related photos, it's evident that Jinyuan Group has deep connections with warlords, and the consequences of offending them are imaginable!

"Jinyuan Building..."

Gu Ji looked at a photo of a building standing in the Kokang New Development Zone, seemingly just completed, its facade all glass curtain walls, roughly counting at least thirty floors.

Calculated with the commercial layer height of 4.5 meters, the entire building was about 150 meters high.

Commercial buildings are mainly towers with frame structures, with elevator shafts as load-bearing columns. After the building sank underground, the outer glass curtain wall must have shattered, with soil pouring into the building, further compressing oxygen.

Time is very tight!

Gu Ji put away the phone and continued to strip another thug's clothes, preparing to make a temporary shoulder bag.

Just as he was tying the sleeves, there was movement in the ruins again. It was the two men who had been beaten, a middle-aged and a younger one, along with a doctor, slowly waking up.

But unlike Hui and the orange-haired woman, the middle-aged man had his arm crushed by a stone, the young man had his head split, and the doctor's rib seemed to have been broken, making breathing and moving difficult.

"Ouch... it hurts, what on earth happened..."

"Ah! Hui is dead!"

...

Startled, the middle-aged and the young man pointed at Hui and the thugs killed on the ground, shrinking back to the wall in fright. But as they leaned against the wall, two more pieces of cracked cement fell on the young man's head.

The doctor looked at the corpses on the ground, then at the woman holding a steel pipe, and at Gu Ji gathering supplies, his face instantly turned pale.

"Don't... Don't kill me, I'm just following orders, I've never hit any of you, and never for..."

He didn't dare finish the last word.

The orange-haired girl ignored the doctor and continued to laugh crazily at Gu Ji.

Finally, the middle-aged and young man understood the situation: "Big brother, did you kill Hui and his accomplices? Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother! From now on, you're my father, Ding Le!"

"Big brother, shouldn't we hurry and run? If the enforcers from Jinyuan Group come after, we might all die here!"

Rip, Gu Ji tied the sleeves on the plaid shirt into a knot and carried the backpack.

He looked at the four of them: the orange-haired woman, the doctor, the middle-aged man, and the young man, and spoke:

"We can't run for now. The ground has sunk, and we're ... underground now!"
