It seems that the villain is targeting me.

The horribly hot environment around them made them extremely anxious, and none of them wanted to move forward slowly at the end of the team.

They wanted to run away as fast as they could, to be the first to escape, and even with their hands tied they couldn't suppress the evil thoughts brewing in their chests.

Lando had to raise her voice and repeatedly warn the other party to behave himself.

She believed that if she hadn't been holding a gun, these people would have rushed out like a swarm of people - even though they knew that losing order in this situation would mean death, they would not think about it for even a second.

Fortunately, this corridor is not very long, so Lando can still hold her ground.

Soon, the open password door appeared in everyone's sight.

The crowd was a little restless and everyone unconsciously quickened their pace.

At this moment, Xiao Li, whose hands were tied, seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He suddenly turned sideways and bumped into Lando hard, causing the latter to stagger and almost fall on the hot floor.

Xiao Li's patience has reached its limit at this moment.

His face was also covered with a wet cloth, but even so, every breath he took felt like fire burning his lungs.

The joy of escaping death and the fear of being arrested surged in Xiao Li's heart. He couldn't help but think over and over again: What if? What if I can dodge the police outside and escape without anyone noticing?

Finally, when he saw the password door, he made up his mind and decided to take the risk.

Xiao Li pushed aside several people in succession and ran outside.

He knocked Xiao Niao's shoulder away, not even bothering to hold his breath, and ran outside desperately.

Closer, already closer, he had stepped out of the password door, he was about to escape—

Just at this moment, a terrible loud noise was heard outside.

"boom!!!!"

Xiao Li's body was lifted up like a slender reed. The high-temperature flames generated at the moment of the explosion instantly ignited his skin, and a large amount of fat was roasted out, becoming an excellent combustion aid.

But in the blink of an eye, he turned into a burning fireman.

The underground corridor shook violently with the loud noise.

After such a long delay, the liquid ammonia tank outside finally exploded.

Chapter 60: Doctor Chen: Where is my bird?

Almost everyone lost their balance at the moment of the explosion.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Xiao Li, engulfed by the flames, let out a heart-wrenching scream.

He was blown away by the blast.

The roar of the man echoed in the air and stopped abruptly when he fell to the ground.

The painful struggle lasted for several seconds. Because his vocal organs were burned, Xiao Li couldn't even shout.

Xiao Niao, who was standing at the front of the team, witnessed this scene firsthand. She supported her shoulder, which was numb from hitting the wall, and used her body to block the view of the people behind her.

Even so, Xiao Li's cries of pain before his death still reached the ears of the others - such twisted and shrill screams seemed to be made by an inhuman creature, and just hearing them was terrifying.

The big brother's screams were like a petrifying spell, freezing the human traffickers who were still ready to make a move in place.

Not only them, but everyone's face showed a look of despair.

Because of the perspective, only the people in the front row could see clearly what happened, but everyone was aware of the explosion.

Even if you know nothing about fire safety, you should know that this is definitely not a good sign.

The layout of the underground entrance is as follows: there is a small space outside the password door. If you walk straight ahead, you can see the stairs - the space is semi-enclosed, and the only exit is the upward stairs.

The stairs lead directly to the meat processing plant. Just now, Xiao Li took two steps at a time and rushed up the stairs. Then, he was engulfed by flames the moment he stepped into the factory.

The blast was so powerful that it even deformed the stairwell.

At this time, the meat processing plant had already turned into a sea of fire.

Things had reached the worst point: the explosion had already occurred, the fire was gradually spreading to the stairs, and it was impossible for them to get through unscathed.

Even if a miracle happened and everyone made it through the stairwell unharmed, the dense smoke filling the factory would be the biggest obstacle to escape.

Not to mention, the liquid ammonia storage tank is at risk of exploding again at any time.

Xiao Niao turned around and looked at the long line of people behind him. His brain was working hard, trying to think about how to send as many people as possible out.

She didn't realize that she actually had the highest survival rate among everyone present.

Xiaoniao was standing in the first row of the team and could easily run out before the fire reached the stairs - she had a system to guide her, and the thick smoke was not an obstacle for her.

As long as the bird escapes before the next explosion, there is a high chance of survival.

As long as she leaves the rest behind.

"Everyone, get out!" Xiao Niao kicked the door open a little further and shouted behind her, "Get out of the corridor immediately! The fire is burning again!"

Lando was suddenly startled. She turned around and found that the rooms behind her were indeed on fire again.

It is difficult to say what caused the fire in the corridor to reignite, but it is most likely related to the explosion.

"Move quickly!"

Everyone's eyes were red from the smoke, whether they were kidnapped children or evil human traffickers, everyone was desperately trying to leave.

Xiao Niao's sight fell on the end of the team, where someone was distancing themselves from the main group - she clearly saw that the policewoman's movements became much slower, and she was gradually falling behind.

People ran past one after another, and Xiao Niao anxiously urged the person at the end of the team: "Officer, hurry up, hurry up!"

It was at this time that Xiaoniao discovered that Lando had sprained her right ankle. Not only did she limp when she walked, but her breathing was also completely disordered.

When Xiao Li bumped into her, Landu accidentally stepped on some debris and sprained her ankle.

This undoubtedly seriously slowed down her walking speed, causing the policewoman to fall behind the team.

The fire in the corridor spread very quickly, filling most of the corridor in the blink of an eye. The flames kept chasing behind him, almost licking the corners of his clothes.

In addition to Officer Lando, the last person also ran out of the password door.

Xiao Niao paused briefly at the door, then she stepped over the threshold and rushed back to the corridor.

There was no communication, and the overheated air made it impossible for either of them to speak. In such an environment, inhaling too much gas might burn the lungs.

Xiao Niao ran up to her and put Landuo's arm around her neck. She held her breath and walked towards the door with her head down.

With the help of the force, Officer Lando's speed suddenly increased a lot. She gritted her teeth and cooperated with the bird's movements. Her sprained ankle hurt a lot, but she could still bear it.

They quickly crossed the threshold.

Xiao Niao looked up and saw that there was no one on the stairs. Both the human traffickers and the abducted children had run out of the stairs.

...Ah, you were so panicked that you just ran out without caring about anything?

It's no wonder that even adults find it difficult to remain rational when they see hope of escape.

I hope they don’t run into the fire out of fear.

I have to get out quickly, Xiaoniao thought.

Now there are only her and Lando left, and the difficulty of escape has become much smaller. Xiao Niao only needs to run out with the policewoman.

As long as they are not unlucky and encounter a second explosion in the storage tank, they have a great chance of surviving.

In fact, if the storage tank explodes again, the factory is likely to collapse - no one will be able to escape, and the

The whole family is ruined.

So Xiao Niao was not too worried about the second explosion. After all, even if it happened, she couldn't avoid it.

The danger did not end there. The stairwell was gradually twisting and deforming, and a section of the ventilation duct hanging above broke for some reason and began to fall downwards.

If this section of pipe fell, it would block their way forward - and now they simply didn't have time to move the pipe bit by bit.

Rushing out before it fell, the thought raced through her mind.

Xiao Niao half-lifted and half-supported Landuo's body, and forcibly pulled her up the stairs, almost dragging her all the way up.

The stairs were not as easy as the corridor, and Lando could hardly use any strength on her sprained ankle. She felt like her right leg was like a cooked noodle, stuck on the ground and she couldn't stand at all.

She couldn't help but look at the crumbling pipe above the exit. The heavy stainless steel product was sagging down bit by bit, as if it would block their escape route at any time.

"police officer,"

Xiao Niao's voice rang in her ears. Due to her hazy consciousness, she spoke vaguely, "Don't look up... just keep moving forward... just keep moving forward."

Go forward...

Lando repeated this sentence in her heart. As she walked forward, the stairs in her sight became closer and closer, and her ankles were almost numb.

The inclination angle of the ventilation duct became larger and larger, and the rough metal stubble at the broken end flashed sharp light, hanging above the head like a guillotine.

Several screws were squeezed out, and the support on the pipe finally couldn't hold on, and it began to fall.

It seemed they were running out of time.

The imminent crisis seemed to have stimulated Xiao Niao's potential.

She suddenly quickened her pace and quickly stepped over the remaining steps. With the loud bang of a heavy object falling to the ground, Lando was thrown out of the stairs.

The policewoman was choked by the thick smoke outside the house and started coughing. She turned around and shouted hoarsely behind her.

Xiao Niao failed to escape.

--------

-

The first person who ran out of the stairs saw a charred body lying by the door.

Through the belt and clothing fragments, it was vaguely possible to identify Xiao Li - he was lying motionless on the ground, silently burning, with only occasional popping sounds.

The unlucky guy encountered an explosion the moment he escaped, and in an instant he turned from a lively young man into a messy sparrow.

The first little girl who ran out was frightened by his miserable appearance. The idea of "running away quickly" became clearer than ever at this moment.

But when she really looked around, trying to find a way to escape, she was dumbfounded.

Everything within sight was covered in billowing smoke. The burning area in the west was a sea of scarlet flames, and other than that, nothing could be seen in any other direction.

The air here is even worse than inside the underground facility!

When I was in the corridor before, the oxygen was so thin that it felt like climbing Mount Everest.

Now when I go outside, as soon as I breathe in, all kinds of harmful and toxic gases start to rush into my throat, choking me and making my tonsils red, swollen and painful. It's worse than Mount Everest.

The girl slowly realized that she had no idea where the exit of the meat processing plant was - even if she knew, in such poor visibility, she couldn't be sure that she had found the right direction.

This is a fire scene. If you take the wrong path, you will die.

More people came out from the stairs behind him. After seeing the thick smoke around them, they all looked terrified and helpless.

No one rushed into the fire rashly - Xiao Li's body was still burning. This bloody lesson reminded everyone present that no one wanted to take the risk.

Some of the traffickers who escaped later were not so cautious.

These traffickers knew the way—at least they thought they did—and one fellow, having escaped, rushed straight into the smoke.

After that, there was no more sound from this brother, and no one knew whether he ran away or not.

Except for him, no one else acted rashly. They gathered in a small area that had not yet been invaded by the thick smoke, hesitating and not knowing what to do.

Someone tentatively shouted in a certain direction, and unsurprisingly received no response.

There was another person staring in a certain direction - which happened to be the direction where the person who had rushed into the smoke disappeared - and he was wondering whether he should run there as well.

Under the thick smoke, people present could not even tell how serious the fire in the factory had developed.

In this case, it is not possible to observe the fire with the naked eye until the flames burn through the smoke.

But if that time really comes, you will be dead for sure.

The girl who ran out first looked around anxiously. Even though her eyes were red, swollen and tearful due to the irritation of the smoke, she did not stop.

After observing for a while, the girl suddenly found that two blurry white lights appeared on her right side and were flashing continuously.

What it is?

She looked over there in a trance, thinking she was hallucinating before dying.

But I could clearly hear the roar of an engine, and the two white lights

It is also gradually approaching me, becoming brighter and clearer.
