Capítulo 1096: Chapter 410: [Bonds]_2
“Mr. Zhao, is there an employee dormitory in the factory? Quickly find soone to get so cushions. Three floors aren’t too high. If soone can escape through a window, cushions can be used for support.”
Zhou Wang looked up carefully, then suggested.
“Yes, yes…”
Mr. Zhao woke up as if from a dream and quickly turned to call for people to collect cushions.
“Yiyi, try to contact your mother again and check on her situation… Uncle Li, could you call the fire departnt, please?”
After speaking quickly with the two, Zhou Wang ran into the building against the flow of people escaping.
He was probably the calst on site.
This fire should be the “corresponding event” that the system ntioned, and what he should do is help Ding Yi save her mother. There might be other entanglents behind it, but Zhou Wang had no ti to think about them now.
After all, in the real tiline, Ding Yi’s parents should be alive, which ans this fire event is just a fictitious scenario in the system’s instance. Even if he fails, it’s no big deal, just a missed reward, so Zhou Wang naturally didn’t feel too pressured.
Precisely because of this, he won’t just stand by and do nothing.
Ding Yi was shocked when she saw Zhou Wang’s actions. While continuously dialing her mother’s phone, she followed him.
The front of the hall was the staircase leading to the second and third floors. Zhou Wang and Ding Yi went upstairs one after the other, forced to stop at the corner going from the second to the third floor, facing flickering flas.
Although the fire didn’t look very large, smoke completely obscured the entrances and exits of the second and third floors. The intense heat distorted the air, making it impossible to charge in without any protective asures.
“What should we do? My mom hasn’t answered the phone. Mr. Zhao said the explosion happened right next to the office. Could my mom be…”
Ding Yi’s eyes were red as she spoke helplessly.
“No, at least there are several rooms in between. Maybe she’s injured and unconscious; don’t be certain yet.”
Zhou Wang shook his head, comforting Ding Yi before turning and noticing the duty room located at the stairwell on the second floor. He thought of sothing and asked Ding Yi to wait here while he quickly walked over.
Soon, under Ding Yi’s surprised gaze, Zhou Wang ran out from the duty room holding a bundle of bedding, directly heading toward the restroom.
After another one or two minutes, when Zhou Wang erged from the bathroom again, his steps had beco quite heavy, carrying a thick quilt soaked with water, “drip-drip” dripping.
“Zhou Wang, you…”
Ding Yi seed to understand what Zhou Wang intended to do, her eyes incredulous as she hurriedly tried to stop him, “No, it’s too dangerous. Once the water in the quilt evaporates, you’ll be burned to death!”
“I know there’s a risk, don’t worry, I have a cheat; I won’t die.”
Zhou Wang smiled, thinking to himself that if it weren’t for being in the system’s instance, he wouldn’t dare to risk his life like this.
“But…”
Zhou Wang self-deprecatingly comnted and shook the quilt before Ding Yi could say anything else, “The fire still looks manageable for now, but I don’t know what will happen if we keep waiting. You go wait on the first floor. If I can find Auntie, I’ll find a safe window to throw her down. You need to wait there with the others… That’s it!”
After finishing, Zhou Wang covered himself with the quilt, not looking back as he charged into the blaze-filled corridor, Ding Yi’s calls fading behind him.
…
It was rash.
In the smoke-filled hallway, Zhou Wang felt dizzy and a bit annoyed.
… Damn, he forgot to ask Mr. Zhao which specific room the office was in.
Actually, the flas were manageable; the corridor still had so places to step on where not everything was burning, and the quilt managed to block the heat for now. Zhou Wang wasn’t experiencing too much burning sensation.
What was truly uncomfortable was the suffocating feeling from struggling to breathe, and the obstructing smoke covering his mouth and nose.
Zhou Wang also slled so pungent, irritating odor, suspecting the air was mixed with toxic gases, likely the main reason for his dizziness.
With his steps growing heavier and his vision obscured, Zhou Wang could only cover his mouth and nose as best he could, praying to find Nie Xiaoyun quickly.
Bang!
Bursting open another door, Zhou Wang saw a room half consud by fire, with a figure in a white coat curled up on the other side. That person quickly shouted “Help,” disappointing Zhou Wang as it wasn’t Nie Xiaoyun, but another female employee.
Fortunately, the quilt was large enough. Zhou Wang didn’t just stand by; he shielded with the quilt and rushed through the fire barrier, bringing her out of the room.
“Which room is President Nie’s office?”
“Just, just in front…”
The woman Zhou Wang saved wasn’t completely useless as she pointed to another room diagonally ahead.
Zhou Wang quickly led her over, finally finding Nie Xiaoyun’s office. The door panel was burned to pieces, the naplate gone, no wonder Zhou Wang wandered here for a while without finding the correct room.
Quickening his pace, he first sent the woman into another room at the hallway’s end not yet invaded by flas, instructing her to wave by the window, before wrapping himself with the quilt to run back.
Bang!
He burst through the burning damaged door, imdiately spotting Nie Xiaoyun collapsed on the ground, her forehead faintly bloodied, a toppled file cabinet nearby. Flas from the adjacent room nearly reached her skirt hem, yet Nie Xiaoyun showed no signs of movent.
