Chapter 106: On Fire
Zheng Jiayi was doing sit-ups while waiting for the movement on the other side. But she didn't wait for Liu Xiling, but waited for a commotion.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Jiayi, Zhou Meng, Li Jiajia and Meng Li appeared at the door of their respective rooms at the same time. Converge at the top of the staircase.
Zhou Meng was closest to that direction, so he roughly understood the situation, and instinctively pointed in that direction out of thin air and said, "Over there, the yard over there is smoking, is it on fire?" βγ
As soon as Zheng Jiayi heard the movement, her first reaction was not to go to the window to take a look, but to run out of the door. She was still half a beat slower to react, and everyone seemed to have found out.
"Go downstairs! Don't really catch fire. Zheng Jiayi thought to herself, don't really catch fire, it's better to be outside than in the house.
The four of them hurried downstairs. Liu Xiling is not far downstairs.
"Xiling, what's going on over there?" Zheng Jiayi saw Liu Xiling at a glance.
"I don't know. Wang Jun wouldn't let me go. Let me wait here. It should not be strict. The smoke is not particularly strong. Liu Xiling is also waiting for news.
"Okay, stay here, I'll go and have a look." Zheng Jiayi handed over the three behind her to Liu Xiling, and then hurriedly ran in the direction of the fire. The building on the far right in that direction. In the past, Liu Zhong and Ye Mei lived, and if she remembered correctly, they were now freed up for the people rescued from the stronghold.
Zheng Jiayi trotted all the way, feeling all kinds of uneasiness in her heart, could it be that she had just realized that she was going to fortify, and she had already started to have problems, right? Zheng Jiayi was annoyed in her heart, the speed of the soles of her feet was getting faster and faster, although the barriers between each building had been removed, there were still uneven places in the end. jumped and ran to the place of the incident. Seeing Xiao Xiao, they were all saving people. The fire has been contained.
"What's going on? How did it catch fire? Zheng Jiayi looked around for a long time and suddenly found a strange question, so she asked weakly: "How did this fire go out?" β
It's no wonder that Zheng Jiayi would ask this, because there was no water on the ground, and the people who arrived before Zheng Jiayi didn't bring any cotton products to put out the fire. The fire just went out on its own?
"Probably the one upstairs?" Zhang Jie was also a little unsure. When I found the fire and ran over, I saw that the fire had been extinguished little by little.
"Uh-huh." Zheng Jiayi doesn't worry about how this fire was extinguished, it is estimated to be the same as what Zhang Jie said. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with Qi Min, it has something to do with witches and spells.
"How did it catch fire?" Zheng Jiayi still returned to the topic.
"It's a mess, wait for everyone to be rescued, and then ask carefully." Zhang Jie said as he settled the people who had been rescued from the fire.
"There's a legless guy who's suddenly deformed." The frightened survivor sitting on the ground stammered as he drank water.
When Zheng Jiayi heard this, she hurriedly stopped Xu Yiyi, who had just helped someone out, and said, "Someone's corpse has changed." Pay attention when you go in to save people. Take care of yourself before you save others. Everyone who sees it is reminded. β
"You know, it's a mess inside. The fire didn't burn a few. The main thing is that some of the people with limited mobility have been bitten. Xu Yiyi wiped the sweat on her face, but the black ash on her hands suddenly got on her face.
"Be careful!" After Zheng Jiayi finished speaking, she helped pick up the boy she brought out. Xu Yiyi turned back to the blackened house.
Zheng Jiayi helped the man sit down on the spot. I glanced at the people who were rescued - all of them were men!
"Zhang Jie, why are all the men rescued from the stronghold this time?" Zheng Jiayi confirmed again curiously. Although some of them had dark faces, she was sure that at least now they were sitting here with men.
"That's right. Neither is there a man nor a woman. Zhang Jie nodded.
"How can there be a woman!" The man who had just been picked up by Zheng Jiayi and helped him sit down sighed and said, "Only we, the old, weak, sick and disabled, are other people's meals." Women can pass on the ancestry, and those cannibals will not eat them lightly until they have to do so. How can they be with us? β
Kind of makes sense. Zheng Jiayi nodded silently. These people still thought that the skinners were cannibals.
"What a cannibal. It's just a bunch of crazy people. Where in the world are there any cannibals? The other man sighed and shook his head. He kept talking to himself: "It's all stupid, stupid and incapable." Heyβ"
"Do you know why it's on fire?" Now that these people are able to speak. Zheng Jiayi simply asked in passing.
"I don't know." A lot of people are shaking their heads.
"Even if someone is deformed. If you bite a lot of people, you won't catch fire, right? Zheng Jiayi thought about it for a while and said, "Could it be that someone deliberately set the fire?" β
There was silence.
"You, that's you. You just said that someone has been transformed. You've definitely seen the whole process. Tell me, how about the situation? Zheng Jiayi pointed to the first man to speak and asked, "By the way, what's your name." I don't know your name yet. β
"My name is Wang Chong. Well, I don't know how it caught fire, but I already ran out when it caught fire. After Wang Chong finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, twisted it for a while, and then continued: "It is inconvenient for them to live together. We take turns taking care of our hands and feet. I just took a nap, and that's what happened. The man with me, Zhou Lin, suddenly screamed and woke me up. Seeing that he had been bitten, I quickly ran. It was only after it came out that it was on fire. I quickly shouted for help. But the fire was also strange, just like what the little brother said just now, and it was extinguished by itself. β
Zheng Jiayi coughed dryly twice, feeling that everyone should not be allowed to think too much about how the fire was extinguished. So, he changed the subject to look at the others and asked, "Does anyone know where the fire started?" β
"I don't know."
"I don't know!"
All shake their heads.
"I feel like the room where the corpse is starting to burn. I feel like so! "Finally someone said something useful.
"Zhang Jie, do we leave candles or anything in that house? Matches or something? Zheng Jiayi thought that their flashlights should be enough, and they would not be able to distribute candles and matches to some people with inconvenient hands and feet.
"Nope. How can it be. Besides, it's not a TV series. Can a candle lead such a fire? If it weren't for the one upstairs, it would have burned out. Zhang Jie's face was not good-looking. Suddenly, his eyes bypassed Zheng Jiayi and looked behind Zheng Jiayi, and then bypassed Zheng Jiayi in one step and took an injured survivor from Zhou Jian's hands.
Zheng Jiayi turned around. No wonder Zhang Jie wanted to help, and Zhou Jian helped the two alone.
