Chapter 406 Fire Sea
"How is it possible?" The security guard said in surprise, "You must have misremembered!"
Standing in front of the stairwell, everyone couldn't help taking a breath when they saw the safety door with a lock on the door.
It's completely different here than when they first came here.
"You guys don't comply with the fire regulations, let me tell you." Qiao Yu's brother pointed to the locked security door and said to the security guard.
The security guard looked embarrassed and didn't answer.
"Do you want to go to another office to see?" The security guard interjected, seeing that the atmosphere was a little dignified.
Hua Luo turned around, "Another office?"
"Yes, there is another one there. It was Li Zumei's former office. After she moved to the ninth floor, she used it 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 and the others until they reached the 13th floor, at the door of Li Zumei's old office.
The office door also showed no sign of being recently opened.
They are also missing.
Hua Luo judged that they should be 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 is no one around.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to ask the person in charge for the key, but no one has been here for a long time." The security guard said that he 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 it, it looks like an office.
Everyone was worried that after the security guard left, more people would be attracted and unnecessary troubles would be caused, so they kept him and asked Qiao Yu's brother to stay with him, standing at the corner and paying attention to the movement around him.
Hualuo walked in first, 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 debris piled up everywhere, the desks seem to have not been cleaned for a long time, and there are a few empty bottles left on the ground.
What attracted more attention was a huge bookcase with a glass door in the corner. Through the glass window, many paper bags could be seen lined up inside, just like the ones they found before.
After Hualuo realized it, she immediately walked towards the bookcase.
"How could this happen?" Chu Jiu's voice disrupted Hualuo's footsteps. He followed the voice and saw that Chu Jiu was holding a flashlight to illuminate the direction they came from.
In the next second, Hualuo's pupils trembled involuntarily.
The door they came in 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."
"Pay attention to your feet and keep your body down." Banana Wolf was also choked by the thick smoke. The smoke and dust billowed around him, accompanied by waves of heat, which made it almost impossible to open your eyes.
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 it, and it couldn't be pushed open no matter what. It could only open a large gap.
After Jiang Cheng and Jiao Tailang tried, they couldn't get through.
In the end, Li Zumei got through.
After Li Zumei got through, she immediately disappeared into the thick smoke.
The heat wave was scorching behind him, and the fire was almost over. The fat man even smelled the burning smell of his own hair. Just when he thought he was abandoned, Li Zumei's voice suddenly sounded from behind the door.
She told everyone to hold on, and after a lot of tossing with the crowbar she found, she finally made the gap bigger 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 would get stuck in the middle, which would cause trouble for the doctor.
Fortunately, the fat man was finally pulled out by the three of them.
Several people ran down immediately, but the further they went down, the thicker the smoke, and the heat wave seemed to burn people.
The fat man even touched his eyebrows, worried that they were going to burn.
In the thick smoke, Fatty couldn't open his eyes at all. He was running down completely by instinct. He tried his best to keep his body down. There were footsteps all around, and he couldn't tell who was who.
He could barely see 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 footsteps became more and more sloppy, and finally trembled and fell down the stairs.
"How are you?" Jiao Tailang squatted in front of Li Zumei, the smoke made her burst into tears, but the next second, the tears were dried by the heat wave.
Hot pain in the face.
Fatty and Jiang Cheng were gone. She heard the faint sound of running downstairs. It seemed that they had given up on this woman.
The woman let out a meaningless groan, she hugged her leg, and Jiao Tailang touched it with her hand, and found that the bone was not broken, it should be a sprained ankle.
"Don't. Don't leave me." Li Zumei begged bitterly, she stretched out her red and swollen hands and grabbed 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, as if it might fall down at any moment.
Banana Wolf gritted his teeth, "Get up," she endured the heat and shouted loudly, "I'll help you go!"
She put the woman's arm on her shoulders, and then the two limped down. At this time, the eyes were useless, and Jiao Tailang could only use his feet to test a little bit.
Li Zumei is also very competitive, and the cooperation between the two is becoming more and more skillful.
But just when Jiao Tailang resisted to open her eyes and wanted to see the surrounding situation, an inadvertent detail came into her eyes.
Li Zumei put one arm on her shoulder, and for balance, her other hand was on the handrail of the stairs.
Just go down a little bit.
Banana Wolf's pupils jumped suddenly.
The coating on the handrails has shown signs of melting. It is not clear how high the temperature is, but it is definitely not a temperature that normal people can touch with bare hands.
This woman is not human.
is a ghost.
After figuring this out, Jiao Tailang kept his composure and used the excuse of asking the woman to change her position, while the woman moved her arm, turned around and ran away.
The situation Jiangcheng was facing was exactly the same as that of Jiao Tailang, but the difference was that he had already seen that there was something wrong with the fire.
It burned too fast and too violently, without any warning signs, as if it burned up instantly, and it was burning on multiple floors at the same time.
The reason why he kept his composure before was because Jiang Cheng hadn't found out where this ghost was.
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 Li Zumei to cry like a kite with a broken string.
But Jiang Cheng still calmly helped her up, while encouraging her, he walked to the handrail of the stairs, took advantage of his unpreparedness, kicked her down, turned around and ran upstairs.
