Sudden explosion, sudden re-encounter.

(Text)

"Attention customers, attention customers, an important announcement is now playing. Due to an unknown explosion on the 12th floor of the mall, the fire is spreading. Please leave the mall as soon as possible through the emergency exits... We apologize for the inconvenience. Notification to play again..."

The mall's radio kept announcing the news.

"Cheng Yin, let's get out of here." Yan Xiaoxue grabbed my shoulder, her hands trembling constantly.

I patted her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, let's go down the stairs, it's safe." ”

"Well," she nodded, "I trust you." ”

We followed the crowd down the top floor.

The security facilities of the mall are still very good, and even on the fifteenth floor, we did not smell a single explosion.

"The ventilation system here is really good." I couldn't help but be amazed.

"Of course, the facilities here are the most advanced in this era." A customer next to me said to me. "Don't you see the logos on all the devices?"

My head started to hurt sharply again. I saw that there were three English letters clearly engraved on it—A-E-F.

AEF？ Alpha? They actually built the facilities here.

I frowned, and I vaguely felt a pang of unease.

Before we knew it, we were on the twelfth floor of the mall.

I could faintly see a fire flickering not far away. An older-looking old man was shouting, "Can anyone help?" I saw a girl knocked to the ground by a boulder decorated by a shopping mall, can anyone help her? ”

"Yan Xiaoxue, you leave the department store with everyone, I'll save people, just come when you go." With that, I ran in the direction the old woman pointed.

"Be careful, Cheng Yin, you must come back." Yan Xiaoxue shouted vigorously behind me.

The fire slowly spread, and the fire ahead was even more ferocious. Although the ventilation system didn't seem to be broken, I could barely open my eyes.

"Anyone, anyone? Can you hear me? I kept shouting as I walked forward.

"Is there anyone who can hear me?" Even though I used my loudest voice, there was no answer.

"Anyone?" I still haven't given up.

Suddenly I stopped and stopped shouting.

I only heard a few soft shouts for help not far away. However, the voice was so soft that I had a hard time finding my bearings.

"Where are you, where are you?" I shouted as I pricked up my ears, searching for her voice.

"I... In motion... Here's the counter...", I heard a very light reply. But I always felt that this voice was so familiar. Looks like I heard it somewhere not so long ago.

I was desperately looking for a sports counter on the twelfth floor when I suddenly saw some sportswear scattered on the ground in front of me.

It should be around here!

Department stores always have some decorations. Even if there are some rockeries, small waterfalls are not surprising.

I finally found the woman who was shouting, but the moment I saw her, I was shocked to find out that the woman who was crushed by the stone was actually the blonde woman who had played chess with me on the second floor of the chess shop a few days ago.

"Hello, Lee... Rena... Wait, I'll save you right away. ”

"How... It's you? ”

I pushed the stone hard, but with my own strength it didn't work.

"You can't push it alone." Li Ruina is right.

The stone is boxy. I couldn't push it at all.

Damn it! If the stone was round, I could just roll it away!

"Wait a minute." I suddenly had an idea.

I picked up the gravel on the ground, smashed the glass door of the fire appliance on the wall, and pulled out a fire hammer from inside.

"You're not going to break boulders, are you?" Li Ruina tensed.

"How so." I used a fire hammer to carefully knock out the stones and the edges and corners of the floor.

It didn't take long. The edges and corners have been rounded by me.

"Almost." Once again, I was ready to lift the stone.

One end of the stone was barely lifted a little higher by me, "Come out, I'm running out of strength." ”

Li Ruina slowly crawled out of the stone floor.

At this moment, the floor suddenly shook violently. The steel beams on the roof of the building were about to collapse. Seeing this, I pushed Li Ruina out with all my might. At the same time, the steel beam fell in front of me. I wanted to step out. But the fire was too big. I could only take a few steps back.

"Let's go, you go. Leave me alone, you won't be able to get out if you don't leave!! I looked at Li Ruina, who was standing motionless, and shouted to her.

"What do you do? I can't leave you alone. ”

"You go, I'll be out."

"No, you wait, I'll go find someone, and I'll definitely get you out."

The crackling sound around me became louder and louder, and I gradually became unable to hear Li Ruina's voice, and the flames rushed towards me, and I couldn't help but take several steps back. I watched as the fire grew bigger and bigger in front of me. I felt my head start to get a little dizzy. Inability to open eyes.

Just when I felt like I couldn't do it, I heard a few people coming towards me.

"How are you, young man, can you still hear me?" There was a middle-aged man's voice on the opposite side of the steel beam.

"Yes, I'm here." I shouted in the direction of the voice.

"Quick, water gun."

I felt the temperature around me drop a bit, and there was a jet of water spilling over me.

After a while, the fire gradually became smaller. A firefighter stepped over from the other side,

"How's that, lad. Can you hear me? He slowly lifted me up. Together, they stepped out.

I started to recover slowly. When I opened my eyes, I had left the department store, lying on a stretcher, and the firefighters next to me saw me wake up.

"Good boy, if it weren't for a woman on the twelfth floor who was desperately clamoring for us to save you. I'm afraid you're not going to be able to do it a long time ago. ”

"So, what's wrong with her, now she's human?"

"You're like this, and you still care about people, and she finally lost her strength and was sent to the hospital after seeing you come out safely."

"It's okay." I let out a long sigh of relief.

"Cheng Yin, Cheng Yin." Yan Xiaoxue ran over like crazy, "How are you, it's okay, I can't find you everywhere." ”

"It's okay, you see, I'm fine." I saw that Yan Xiaoxue's eyes were shining with tears.

"He's really fine, let's talk." The firefighter turned and left.

"Don't you really hurt? Isn't there any place to burn? Dizziness? Yan Xiaoxue asked me so many questions in one breath, I didn't know which one to answer her first.

"It's really fine, you see I can still stand up and walk." I wanted to stand up and not let her worry anymore, but I didn't expect that when I tried to stand up, I felt dizzy and lay down again.

"Don't stand up. You don't want to do this again in the future, okay. It can be seen that Yan Xiaoxue is really anxious this time.

I said a lot to convince her that I was really nothing, just needed a good rest.

"Then I believe you, you can take a good rest, by the way, are you hungry? Let's start with a pineapple bread. “

What, and why is pineapple bread again. Yan Xiaoxue finally laughed when she saw my expression.
