Chapter 3: The Fire

The fire scene from three years ago is repeated!

"Damn!"

Although Meng Lin knew that he was dreaming, when he saw the scene in front of him and recalled everything that happened at the beginning, he still had palpitations, and even cold sweat had broken out on his back.

You know, this fire killed more than 100 people! It is the worst fire in the history of Chengqing City! At that time, a large number of responsible persons were arrested, such as the legal person of the mall and the head of the regional functional department, and sentenced to prison.

It is said that until now, the cause of the fire has not been investigated clearly.

On that day three years ago, Meng Lin, who happened to pass by Longxing Mall, was frightened to witness countless people panicking, rolling and crawling, screaming and swarming out of several exits of the building, when the fire became bigger and bigger, and even many people jumped directly from the window of the second and third floors, and their whole body was on fire, falling on the square in front of the mall to struggle, rolling, and dying in pain.

What's more, there are extremely terrible screams coming from inside the mall.

What the hell is going on?

Meng Lin felt that the cold sweat had soaked his entire back.

Three years later, when Meng Lin was caught off guard in such a clear dream, he was immersed in the scene again, facing the tragic scene he had seen in the past, he still stood in place as he did then, his mind was blank, there were no thoughts, only fear and uneasiness.

"Mom! Mom! ”

At this moment, a terrible shout suddenly came from behind Meng Lin.

Meng Lin looked back, and a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen years old who seemed to be similar dropped the shopping bag and mineral water bottle in her hand, and rushed towards the mall with thick smoke and red light crying.

Meng Lin was stunned for a moment, subconsciously hugged her from behind, and shouted loudly: "Don't go to death!" It's so big in there, and it's so messy, you can't save her! Let's wait for her to escape on her own! ”

The familiar girl in front of her, and the familiar words she blurted out......

Meng Lin suddenly trembled, this ...... Isn't that exactly what happened three years ago?

Three years ago, when Meng Lin was powerless in the face of the fire, the only thing he could do was to forcibly pull a girl next to him who wanted to rush into the fire scene to find her mother.

Although Meng Lin tried desperately to prevent the girl's almost crazy stupidity that was likely to be killed in the fire, the girl who later confirmed that his mother had not escaped gave him a heavy slap in the face, crying that if it wasn't for his obstruction, she might have a chance to save her mother.

This incident left a serious psychological shadow on Meng Lin, although he repeatedly confirmed that what he did at that time was not wrong, but he faintly felt in his heart that if he didn't stop her, this girl might really be able to rush in and successfully rescue her mother?

He forced a decision for her, but perhaps he inadvertently killed them, separating their mother and daughter from life and death......

Meng Lin only felt that his mind was a mess at the moment, and he just subconsciously hugged the girl tightly and didn't let her break free.

"Let go of me! My mom just went to the mall to go to the bathroom! I'm going to get her out! The girl struggled desperately.

“……”

Listening to the girl's sorrow, Meng Lin felt a little uncomfortable, he suddenly felt a little heartbroken, and shouted a few words loudly: "You don't have the strength to rescue your mother even if you go in, I'm a man, I have a lot of strength!" I'll go in and save people! Tell me what are the characteristics of your mother? ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, struggled her hand out of Meng Lin's clenched embrace, took out her mobile phone and quickly erased a photo with her and her mother today.

"My mom is wearing a yellow floral shirt today and a silver bracelet on her left hand!"

Meng Lin glanced at the photo a few times, it was a middle-aged woman with curly hair and slightly chubby. Meng Lin secretly remembered her appearance, then let go of the hand holding the girl, pushed her back, and bent down to pick up the mineral water bottle that the girl had discarded, and poured most of the remaining mineral water on the coat he had taken off, ready to use it to cover his mouth and nose in the fire.

"You're waiting for me right here! Don't go in! ”

With that, Meng Lin rushed straight to the scene of the fire.

There was a faint sound of the girl crying and thanking the girl in the back.

Is this a dream?

If this was a dream, everything that happened now seems to be different from what it was back then.

However, Meng Lin didn't have time to think about all this for the time being.

At this time, at the southwest gate of the mall where Meng Lin was about to rush in, he had already faintly seen the open flames, and most of the people who kept rushing out of the door were stained with sparks, and their entire heads and faces were blackened.

Dodging left and right to avoid the people who frantically fled from the mall, Meng Lin ran directly below the burning mall, only hesitated in place for a moment, and then rushed into the gate that was about to be engulfed in flames.

The whole mall was in chaos, there were open flames everywhere, but there was more thick smoke, and people could not be seen from a distance of one or two meters.

The smoke rolled around Meng Lin's body, looking extremely hideous, as if there were many demons hiding in it. Meng Lin could hear a large number of cries for help and screams coming from the depths of the mall, but he couldn't see anything because of the smoke.

Fortunately, Meng Lin had visited Longxing Mall a few times before, and he still had a good understanding of the situation inside the mall and knew the general direction of the stairs.

Not far from rushing in, in the commercial building filled with thick firelight and smoke, a burning man whose clothes were burned off, his skin was scorched piece by piece, and his facial features were burned so that he was almost unrecognizable, ran over while screaming, and almost hit Meng Lin.

Meng Lin hurriedly avoided it, but saw that the burning man staggered to the exit and continued to rush a few steps, but he fell to the ground, and his body twitched for a while before he stopped moving.

With thick smoke around him and obstructed vision, Meng Lin frowned, subconsciously covered his nose with a coat soaked in mineral water, and suddenly reacted again......

He didn't smell the smoke at all, nor did he feel the flames.

He's dreaming! It doesn't really hurt, and it doesn't hurt!

Meng Lin's heart suddenly settled down a lot, and he began to look around for the location of the bathroom on the first floor.

Under normal circumstances, passers-by should go to the restroom on the first floor when they go to the toilet in the mall.

Longxing Mall is a standard circular hollow commercial building. Today, the basement floor of the entrance of the mall is borrowed by the supermarket for promotion, and it is edible oil in the centralized promotion, and several large stacks are placed, which are almost piled up to the first floor.

Now, the piles of cooking oil have all turned into huge fires, and the flames and smoke have swallowed up a large area of the vicinity.

Meng Lin confirmed that these fires really couldn't burn him, and they didn't hurt him, so he quickly crossed the fire field more than ten meters wide and circled to the area where the fire was smaller.

There is a restroom there.

The new book is opened, I ask for collections, I ask for recommended tickets, thank you very much!
