Chapter Eight Buried in Flames(1/2)
The fire broke out, and the violent flames spread rapidly in the cinema.
Qin Manjiang grabbed Li Xijiu, turned around and ran towards the exit of the screening room.
The intense smoke has already choked my mouth and nose.
"Go to the toilet."
Wet a towel or clothing with water and cover your mouth and nose to still have a chance of escaping. Otherwise, the raging heat wave alone will injure your respiratory tract and make you unable to breathe.
"Yeah." Li Xi agreed quickly.
After rushing out of the screening room, the aisle was filled with smoke and it was impossible to open my eyes.
The two of them bent over and covered their mouths and noses. The source of the flames was unknown, and tongues of fire were already spitting out everywhere.
At this moment, I just heard a "bang--" sound.
The ceiling suddenly collapsed!
Before the two of them could rush to the toilet, their way was blocked by collapsed gravel.
Qin Manjiang turned around and looked around, calm down, he must think calmly.
Although the fire has appeared, it does not mean that nothing can be done.
But...where is the way to escape from the fire?
Qin Manjiang tried his best to think in his mind.
suddenly……
"careful!"
Li Xi pushed hard again!
Qin Manjiang staggered and hit the wall.
Turning his head to look, he saw a slender figure suddenly appearing in the flames!
Originally looking at Qin Manjiang, its attention shifted to Li Xijiu. It was walking on the flames with its bare feet.
"Let's go!" Qin Manjiang's heart trembled, he stood up, grabbed Li Xijiu's arm, and the two of them immediately started running.
But Li Xi's situation was not optimistic. He suddenly exerted force and the knife stuck in his forearm fell off. Now blood was pouring out. His face was as white as paper, as if he would fall down at any time.
Under the scorching firelight, the ground began to change.
The floor was cracking, and the exquisitely laid carpets became the best fuel at this moment, and all kinds of burnt odors were constantly coming from the heat wave.
There is the smell of plastic, wood, fiber, and burnt flesh and blood... This smell is extremely nauseating and unbearable.
The two people bent over and walked through the screening room where the fire was spreading wildly.
"Don't go to the toilet, let's go straight downstairs! At least you won't be burned to death if you escape from the cinema now!"
Li Xi shouted.
Qin Manjiang nodded. However, at this time, the surrounding walls, floors, and ceilings began to crack and collapse in large areas under the burning of the flames. Moreover, these marks were extremely old and dilapidated, and they did not look like those that had just been burned.
It's like...the ugly original face is revealed after a layer of gorgeous skin is peeled off.
At this time, in the flames behind him, the tall and fierce ghost bent down and picked up his machete. From just now, its eyes were fixed on Li Xijiu.
Something terrible happened...
The tall and fierce ghost actually stuck the knife in his abdomen!
After the tip of the knife entered its abdomen, it began to wail and scream crazily.
Li Xi's already pale face almost turned blue at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
He lowered his head and looked at his abdomen, where red blood slowly flowed out.
Qin Manjiang quickly supported Li Xi and was about to continue running away when he saw Li Xi struggling and said: "Leave me alone, Brother Qin...you are alone...you still have a chance..."
"Don't...look at it. After looking at it...it can hurt you...by hurting itself..."
Li Xijiu's words were intermittent, but still clear.
Qin Manjiang's heart suddenly trembled. Just now Li Xi shouted to be careful and pushed him away, but the tall and fierce ghost had just appeared at that time and was still far away, so it could not hurt him at all.
Li Xi seems to have foreseen the rule that if you are looked at, you will be hurt.
Qin Manjiang didn't say a word. I don't know if he heard it. He just helped Li Xi up, knelt down and said:
"Come up here, or I'll be burned to death with you."
Li Xi stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, the emotions in his eyes constantly surging, and his expression changing uncontrollably.
He lay silently on Qin Manjiang's back and stopped talking.
At this time, a pair of bare feet stepped out of the flames, and it came again.
Qin Manjiang carried Li Xi on his back. His physical strength was not good to begin with, and he moved even more slowly at this moment.
But fortunately, the constantly collapsing cinema posed many obstacles to the tall ghost, and Qin Manjiang finally rushed to the corridor with strength.
Just as he was about to go around the stairs and go down to the first floor, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing beside him!
It's that little devil!
Even though he was in the fire scene, Qin Manjiang still felt a chill.
Although that little devil has never attacked anyone, it is still best to be careful and walk around it.
Having said that, if you are careful every step now, it is already too late. The little devil is blocking the road ahead, and you must pass by it head-on!
The fire on both sides is getting bigger and bigger, and the air that the two of them can breathe is getting less and less. Coupled with their respective injuries, how long can they last?
Qin Manjiang didn't know it himself, but he was unwilling to give up just like that.
Can't die yet...
At least I can't die here like this.
My sister hasn't woken up yet, the cause of my father's death is a mystery, and my life has just begun.
And...I promised that as long as I was still alive, I would take Li Xi back.
"...If I hadn't called you for help..."
Li Xi suddenly said.
This sentence made Qin Manjiang startled.
The crackling and explosive flames roasted people's skin and flesh. The oxygen in the air became less and less, and the feeling of suffocation became more and more serious.
The tall fierce ghost behind him was running among the hot rocks and flames, but Qin Manjiang's body was extremely tired.
Li Xijiu stopped talking much and stopped making jokes. The ghost used a strange method to give him a knife. Although it was not fatal for the time being, it seemed to have drained a lot of his physical strength.
At this critical moment, the appearance of that little devil made people even more desperate.
Qin Manjiang couldn't see any way out.
"Brother Qin, let me go."
Qin Manjiang didn't seem to care about Li Xijiu's words.
He just carried Li Xi on his back and kept walking forward.
"Hey! Aren't you always the former between wise giving up and blind persistence? Let me go!"
Li Xi struggled.
"None of us can survive this way!"
"Then let's die together!"
Qin Manjiang roared rarely.
He is not such a person, and he never speaks so rudely.
After yelling, he continued to remain silent, just carrying Li Xi on his back, and continued to walk forward out of breath.
Li Xi fell silent.
Qin Manjiang's determination was beyond imagination. Even if the little devil was in front of him, he would still walk through and go to the first floor... After leaving this cinema, even if he fell into the terrifying darkness, he would be able to think of a way out.
As long as you are alive.
In short...never give up.
Three steps...
Two steps...
step!
When he got close to the kid, Qin Manjiang suddenly felt familiar?
It's not scary, nor does it penetrate people. If it wants to kill people, the two of them have no room to resist now.
But……
To be continued...
