It was ten o'clock in the evening, which was the most crowded time at the Henry Hotel.

Chen Shen and the white dog hid in the shadows of the hotel parking lot, carrying a large backpack on their chests, and in the backpack was the gasoline mixed combustion agent they had already divided in glass bottles.

They were waiting for Shi Dakai's signal, and once the other party confirmed that the thermite bomb had been placed, they would immediately start spreading ignition in the parking lot, creating a fire that would attract everyone's attention.

Chen Shen originally planned to hire gambling dogs to do this work, but after careful consideration, he found that this kind of direct "destructive work" was handed over to those unreliable gambling dogs, and he could not rest assured that he would not be able to gamble on whether they had the courage and whether he could successfully complete the task, it was better to go down in person and evacuate immediately after the arrangement.

After all, the security around the parking lot is much weaker than the main body of the Henry Hotel, and there are no high walls or guardrails around it, so they can calmly withdraw from the parking lot after splashing fuel, and then use the remote control device to ignite the fire away from the hotel.

This is very safe, and the only relatively difficult point is that it cannot be detected by sporadic security guards.

However, even this is not a big deal.

Because this is not Macau after all, there is no fixed norm for parking lot management, and in the corner, Chen Shen even saw a few gambling dogs who had gambled all their money sleeping under other people's nanny cars.

Similarly, the security guards in the distance are also listless, their salaries are not high, and the guards in the parking lot do not receive tips from customers, and it is really a bit embarrassing to ask them for any "work enthusiasm".

Therefore, in this case, the actions of Chen Shen and the others were almost unhindered.

They successfully completed the survey of the parking lot environment, successfully found the ignition route, successfully determined the wind direction, the burning range, and completed a simulated evacuation.

According to the simulation, it only took them two minutes from spilling to evacuation to final ignition.

It's all set, and all that's left to do is wait quietly.

In order to hide his identity, Chen Shen also rummaged through the garbage bin like a gambling dog, but it was obvious that every garbage can here had an owner, and before he could take things out of the trash can, he was immediately scolded and driven away.

Looking at the menacing appearance of the man, Chen Shen walked away quickly, and the security guard glanced at them when he heard the movement, but he didn't move at all.

The vigilance of these people was much worse than Chen Shen expected.

This means that today's operation has almost been more than half successful.

Finding the corner again and sitting down, Chen Shen took out his mobile phone and confirmed the situation with Shi Dakai and Baigou again.

Shi Dakai, who was in the casino of the Henry Hotel, was reconnoitring and monitoring the movements of the two gambling dogs, and everything went well, and he confirmed that the gambling dogs had opened the room and gone upstairs, and his luggage had not been searched in any way.

The white dog, on the other hand, determined his own ignition route.

"There are about 10 cars on my side, and they can cover all of them."

"There are also a few decorative shrubs nearby, and I threw a bottle into it, and I feel like it should burn."

"In addition, I saw that there are a lot of plastic building materials on the construction site on the side of the parking lot, and the fire should be very big."

"I'll keep two bottles for spare, and if the parking lot can't burn, I'll find an opportunity to burn the construction site."

"Commander, is your thinking okay?"

"No problem, let's get set up."

Chen Shen replied decisively.

Then, he hung up the phone and stood up, took out a bottle of gasoline from his backpack, quietly unscrewed the cap, and placed it at his feet.

As long as Shi Dakai reported back to the gambling dog to leave the room, they would immediately start acting.

As the minutes ticked by, the Henry Hotel was still full of people, unaware that this place, which had condensed countless wealth and sins, was about to usher in a catastrophe.

Chen Shen couldn't help but think, in the face of such a thing, are these gambling dogs excited or regretful?

They may get the "thrill of revenge on the dog", but more, maybe it's a . Regret that you lost your only chance to turn around, right?

After all, no matter how you scold the dog village, as long as you put the chips in front of them, they will still go to the table without hesitation.

Because in their hearts, they will always be the chosen son, no matter how dark the dog village is, as long as they are lucky enough and as long as the opportunity comes, they can still turn over.

Otherwise, how could those two gambling dogs decide to continue gambling without hesitation after hearing that "there is a jammer"?

$10,000 is not a small number, and if you can do it well, even if you are in debt, it is enough for many people to start again.

But in reality, they don't realize that they have other ways to go.

It's sad, but it's infuriating.

However, Chen Shen didn't have time to stay for them.

Because, his phone has already rang, and Shi Dakai's voice has come out:

"Fourth, I'm done here, you should move quickly."

"Okay, here we go."

Chen Shen kicked over the glass bottle on the ground, and then, as fast as he could, without attracting the attention of the security guards, he began to shuttle through the parking lot.

One after another glass bottles were put down, the spilled gasoline was connected, and after a distance of 50 meters, covering 15 cars, Chen Shen and White Dog completed the convergence.

He put down the backpack in front of him, took out the ignition device inside and poured it with gasoline, and then immediately withdrew from the parking lot with the white dog, ran quickly to the corner of the street opposite the Henry Hotel, and dialed Shi Dakai's phone again.

"Number 3, start evacuating."

"Okay, I'm at the door, you can do it first."

On the phone, Shi Dakai's voice was slightly nervous, Chen Shen saw the shadow walking out quickly, and the moment he passed through the hotel gate, Chen Shen took out another mobile phone and dialed the ignition device.

The electric arc flickered slightly, and the gunpowder and alcohol vapor in the ignition device ignited, and then the gasoline spilled on the outside exploded.

The flames burst out, and the gasoline that had not yet had time to evaporate was connected by other accelerants, and in a matter of seconds, half of the parking lot was turned into a sea of flames.

The security guards at the Henry Hotel were completely confused, they didn't know where the fire was lit.

Some people shouted to get fire extinguishers, but most people just stood there stunned, watching the fire burn more and more and be overwhelmed.

In fact, there is a golden time for fires to dispose of, and if the fire can be extinguished quickly before the initial fire is burned out and other flammable materials are not ignited, in general, the development trend of a fire will be quickly contained.

But the problem is that firefighting work is not mature even in some developed countries, so how good can it be in the dilapidated place of Lao Cai?

Someone rushed out with the fire extinguisher, but they didn't even know how to turn on the fire extinguisher's safety hydrant.

Finally opened the safety bolt and pressed the valve on the fire point, but the fire extinguisher just ridiculously spit out a small puff of white smoke, and directly declared a dumb fire.

In just two minutes, the fire quickly developed to an almost uncontrollable level, and the temperature became higher and higher, even though it was hundreds of meters away, Chen Shen still felt the heat wave coming to his face.

Shi Dakai had already walked out of the hotel and joined Chen Shen and White Dog, who were standing across the street like other ordinary people watching the excitement, listening to the others whispering about the sudden fire.

"This fire is burning so much, it shouldn't be extinguished, right?"

In the crowd, someone spoke.

"I can't extinguish it, the car has already burned up, and I'm going to kill a fart."

"I'm afraid this parking lot is going to be burned down, run quickly, in case the hotel is set on fire, then there will be a big problem."

"How did it burn?"

"Who knows, it suddenly burned, which car could be leaking"

"With such a big fire, the people in the hotel still don't evacuate?"

"I don't know, don't die if you want money, gambling on dogs is like this"

There were more and more people watching the excitement, and the discussion was getting louder and louder, and at this moment, the door of the Henry Hotel finally opened.

The guests inside rushed out, and for a moment, Chen Shen even felt a little surprised.

He thought that it would take at least a while for the fire to burn again before the people sensed the danger and began to evacuate.

However, now that the evacuation has been carried out smoothly, it is time for his next plan to begin.

Chen Shen waited patiently, and as the 20 minutes passed, he realized that the time had come when he saw that the crowd at the entrance of the hotel had begun to gradually decrease and that all the security personnel had gathered in the lobby to clear the room.

The guests have finished evacuating and it's time to light the thermite bombs.

He nodded to Shi Dakai, then took out his mobile phone at the same time and dialed the number that was about to detonate the entire building.

After a brief pause, the phone disconnects.

Chen Shen and the others looked at the building of the Henry Hotel and waited patiently for the explosion.

But ten full seconds passed, and the explosion he expected did not happen.

Just when he thought that the initiating device was malfunctioning and that this operation had failed.

A room on the fourth floor of the hotel facing the street suddenly exploded into a dazzling bright yellow.

Under the high temperature of 3000 degrees, the entire room was instantly covered by metal heat flow, and in the confined space, the explosion occurred almost instantly.

The flames rose and everything in the room began to burn rapidly.

Curtains, stalls, furniture.

Immediately afterward, the unburned aluminum powder and oxidizer burned the wall, and the flames quickly pierced through the door and began to spread into the hallway.

The smoke was filled, and the thermite under the blessing of a large amount of PP powder emitted unparalleled power, and through the window of the room on the third floor, Chen Shen even saw a scene that shocked him.

The floor slab has been burned through.

On the ceiling, flames were dripping

The fire brigade had already arrived, but several fire trucks were still parked in the parking lot in the entire old neighborhood, and they didn't have time to deal with the fire inside the hotel.

The only opportunity has been missed.

The entire corridor of the hotel was quickly engulfed in flames, and in fact, the fire started not only on the fourth floor.

The thermite bomb in the room on the 19th floor had also exploded, spreading from top to bottom.

Within 5 minutes, the fire spread to the adjacent floor, and the last few people in the building who had tried to extinguish the fire withdrew.

For 10 minutes, thick smoke enveloped the entire building.

In 15 minutes, the elevator shaft was engulfed.

At this point, no matter how professional the fire brigade comes, it is no longer able to return to the sky.

Under the chimney effect, the fire also began to develop in elevators.

It took 20 minutes to burn from the 4th floor to the 6th floor, and it only took 5 minutes to burn from the 6th floor to the 15th floor!

Floor-by-floor explosions occurred one after another, and even the most non-flammable materials began to burn violently at thousands of degrees Celsius.

From the start of the fire to the engulfment of the entire building, it took less than 1 hour.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the fire in the hall on the first floor was especially raging, and the flames that erupted even ignited the parking lot where the fire had been extinguished again.

There was no way to do it, and the fire trucks and firefighters evacuated after confirming that there was no one in the hotel.

All they could do was cool the surrounding buildings to prevent the fire from spreading.

The Henry Hotel, which was originally a landmark building in Lao Cai, has now become the brightest torch in the night.

In its sinful life, I am afraid that only this moment of destruction is truly splendourful.

This shocking scene silenced all the onlookers, and the white dog opened his mouth and whispered as if talking to himself:

"This fire. Is it that fast? ”

Chen Shen nodded and replied:

"Normal range."

"In the MGM fire incident, the source of the fire was just a small leakage circuit, and it was even inside the wall."

"The initial flame smoldered for more than ten minutes before finally breaking through the wall and burning."

"At that time, the flames were not big, and the fire started in a restaurant with plenty of water."

"But even in this case, the fire quickly spread to the entire hall on the first floor, burning down the entire first floor."

"Now, a high-rise building like the Henry Hotel, which may not even have an automatic sprinkler device, can last for an hour, which is already very strong."

Hearing Chen Shen's words, the white dog nodded.

"It's amazing. Fire and water are ruthless, I really feel the ruthlessness of fire and water today"

"The last time I was in Hexinzhou, I didn't think it was anything, this time."

Before he finished his words, Shi Dakai suddenly grabbed the arms of the two of them.

Then he spoke:

"I saw Wei Chaoren!"

Looking in the direction of Shi Dakai's eyes, Chen Shen noticed at a glance the man who was surrounded by security personnel and was screaming and scolding angrily.

His movements were hysterical, and his voice was filled with endless rage.

Chen Shen could fully understand his anger, after all, this was an industry that he had painstakingly managed all his life.

But the more angry he was, the more Chen Shen felt funny.

Didn't expect that, right?

Wealth gained through sin will eventually be burned in sin.

It's a pity, in the current situation, it is impossible to kill Wei Chaoren directly.

There are too many people, the guards are too tight, and if you kill him, you won't be able to get out yourself.

If only there was a gun at this time.

Mix in the crowd and give him a shot, I guess no one will be able to find out at all

Chen Shen sighed in disappointment and said:

"Forget it, let's go first."

"We."

However, before he finished speaking, Wei Chaoren in the distance suddenly made a move that he didn't expect.

He dispersed his security guards and sent most of them to the hotel to put out the fire and reassure the guests.

And he himself, with only one driver and two guards, re-boarded his iconic Lexus.

Chen Shen's eyes lit up.

This is the perfect opportunity.

The enemy doesn't make mistakes all the time, but he doesn't always make mistakes either.

And by catching the mistakes made by the enemy, victory can be achieved.

He turned to the white dog and asked in a low voice:

"Gasoline, how many bottles do you have?"

The white dog was stunned for a moment, and replied:

"Two bottles."

"That's enough."

Chen Shen stared closely at the Lexus that was slowly moving through the crowd.

Behind it is a boundless fire and very quickly.

It will also be submerged in fire.
