Chapter 406 Sea of ​​Fire

“How is it possible?” the security guard said in surprise, “You must have remembered it wrong!”

Standing in front of the stairwell, I saw a safety door with a lock on it. , everyone couldn’t help but take a breath.

This place is completely different from when they first arrived.

"You guys don't comply with fire regulations, I tell you." Qiao Yu's brother pointed to the locked safety door and said to the security guard.

The security guard looked embarrassed and did not answer.

"Are you going to another office to have a look?" The security guard interjected, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Hua Luo turned around, "Another office?"

"Yes, there is another office there. It was Li Zumei's previous office. After she moved to the 9th floor, she occupied it there. It's used as a storage room."

Hua Luo asked the security guard to lead the way and immediately went upstairs along the stairs on the other side, but they didn't see Jiang Cheng or the others until they reached the door of Li Zumei's old office on the 13th floor.

The office door showed no sign of having been opened recently.

They are also missing.

Hua Luo judged that they were trapped in the stairwell on the left, and the ghost who called was Li Zumei.

This is a trap.

This place is very remote, at the end of a corner, and there are not many people nearby.

"Wait a minute. I'm going to ask the person in charge for the key. No one has been here for a long time." The security guard said and was about to leave, but Hua Luo said no, and then kicked the door open.

It's a little dark inside, but you can barely see clearly, it looks like an office.

Everyone was worried that after the security guard left, he would attract more people and cause unnecessary trouble, so they kept him and asked Qiao Yu and his brother to stand at the corner with him and pay attention to the surroundings. movement.

Hua Luo walked in first, and Chu Jiu took out a small flashlight from his body and followed him in.

The environment here is much worse than that of the office on the 9th floor. There are piles of clutter everywhere, the desk seems to have not been cleared for a long time, and there are a few empty bottles on the ground.

What is more eye-catching is a huge bookcase with a glass door in the corner. Through the glass window, you can see many paper bags placed side by side inside, which is very similar to the ones they found before.

After Hua Luo realized it, she immediately walked towards the bookcase.

"How could this happen?" Chu Jiu's voice disrupted Hua Luo's footsteps. He followed the voice and saw Chu Jiu holding a flashlight, shining the light in the direction they came from.

The next second, Hua Luo's pupils trembled involuntarily.

The door they came in from disappeared.

A huge picture frame appeared in the corresponding position.

"Doctor." The fat man covered his mouth and said vaguely: "This smoke is too big."

"You should pay attention to your steps and lower your body." Jiao Tailang was also drunk The smoke was so choking, the smoke and dust were billowing all around, and it was accompanied by waves of heat, making it almost impossible to keep your eyes open.

About 10 minutes ago, a fire suddenly broke out in the building, and the fire was extremely fierce. Under the leadership of Li Zumei, they came to a safety door.

But the safety door was blocked by something behind, and it couldn't be pushed open. It could only open a large gap.

Jiang Cheng and Jiao Tailang tried, but neither could get through.

In the end, it was Li Zumei who got through.

After Li Zumei got through, he immediately disappeared in the thick smoke.

The heat wave behind him was scorching, and the fire was about to come over. Fatty could even smell the burnt smell of his own hair. Just when he thought he had been given up, Li Zumei's voice suddenly sounded from behind the door.

She told everyone to hold on, and after some fiddling with the crowbar she found, she finally widened the gap before everyone was engulfed in flames.

The fat man stepped back and let Jiang Cheng and Jiao Tailang go first. He was worried that his body shape would get stuck in the middle and implicate the doctor again.

Fortunately, the fat man was pulled out by the three of them in the end.

Several people immediately ran down, but the further down they went, the thicker the smoke became, and the heat wave seemed to cook them.

The fat man even touched his eyebrows, worried that they would burn.

In the thick smoke, the fat man couldn't open his eyes at all. He ran downwards purely by instinct. He tried his best to lower his body. There were footsteps all around, and he couldn't tell who was who.

He could barely see clearly that it was Li Zumei in front of him.

After all, Li Zumei is an ordinary person and a woman. Her physical strength and endurance are not as good as theirs. The fat man saw that her steps were getting more and more shaky, and finally she trembled and fell down the stairs.

"What are you doing?" Jiao Tailang half-crouched in front of Li Zumei. The thick smoke made her burst into tears, but the next second, her tears were dried by the heat wave.

My face was burning and hurting.

Both Fatty and Jiang Cheng were gone. She heard faint sounds of running downstairs. It seemed that they had given up on this woman.

The woman let out a meaningless moan. She hugged her leg. Jiao Tailang touched it with his hands and found that the bones were not broken. The foot must have been twisted.

"Don't. Don't leave me." Li Zumei begged, she stretched out her red and swollen hands to grasp Jiao Tailang's clothes.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, crackling sounds were everywhere, and there was a huge wooden frame in the corridor not far behind the woman.

The wooden frame was burning brightly, as if it might fall down at any time.

Jiao Tailang gritted her teeth, "Get up," she said loudly, enduring the heat wave, "I'll help you walk!"

She let the woman's arm rest on her shoulders, and then the two of them limped down. At this time, her eyes were useless, and Jiao Tailang could only test it a little bit with her feet.

Zumei Lai is also very competitive, and the two of them are becoming more and more skillful in their cooperation.

But just when Jiao Tailang forced herself to open her eyes to see what was going on nearby, an inadvertent detail came into her eyes.

Zumei Lai put one arm on her shoulder, and for balance, she put her other hand on the handrail of the stairs.

Just go down a little bit.

Jiao Tailang's pupils jumped suddenly.

The coating on the armrests has signs of melting. Jiao Tailang is not sure how high the temperature is, but it is certainly not a temperature that normal people can touch with bare hands.

This woman is not human.

It’s a ghost.

After thinking about this, Jiao Tailang remained calm and used the opportunity to ask the woman to change positions, taking advantage of the woman to move her arm, turned around and ran away.

Jiang Cheng faced the same situation as Jiao Tailang, but the difference was that he had already seen that there was something wrong with the fire.

The burning was too fast and violent, without any warning. It seemed like it burned instantly, and multiple floors burned at the same time.

It was just because Jiang Cheng had not found where this ghost was yet.

But just after Li Zumei sprained her leg and lay on the ground pitifully begging to save her, Jiang Cheng was sure that she was a ghost.

After all, in such a fire, a person's tears can be dried in a few seconds, so how could it be possible for someone like Li Zumei to cry like a kite with its strings broken?

But Jiang Cheng still calmly helped her up, and while encouraging her, he walked to the handrail of the stairs, kicked her down when she was not prepared, turned around and ran upstairs. (End of this chapter)
