Chapter 407 Sea of ​​Fire

"How is that possible?" the security guard said in surprise, "You must have remembered it wrong!"

Standing in front of the stairwell, everyone couldn't help but take a breath when they saw the locked security door on the door.

This place is completely different from when they first came.

"I say you don't comply with fire regulations." Qiao Yu's brother pointed to the locked security door and said to the security guard.

The security guard looked embarrassed for a moment and didn't answer.

"Do you want to go to another office?" The security guard saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn and interrupted.

Hua Luo turned around, "Another office?"

"Yes, there is another one there. It was Li Zumei's previous office. After she moved to the 9th floor, she used it as a storage room."

Hua Luo asked the security guard to lead the way and immediately went upstairs along the other side of the stairs, but until they came to the 13th floor, at the door of Li Zumei's old office, they didn't see Jiang Cheng and the others.

There was no sign that the office door had been opened recently.

They also disappeared.

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 are no people around.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find the person in charge to get the key. No one has been here for a long time." The security guard was about to leave, but Hua Luo said no, and then kicked the door open.

It was a little dark inside, but you could still see it clearly. It looked like an office.

Everyone was worried that the security guard would attract more people after leaving, causing unnecessary trouble, so they kept him and asked Qiao Yu's brother to stand with him at the corner and pay attention to the movements around.

Hua Luo walked in first, and Chu Jiu took out a small flashlight from his body and followed him in.

The environment here is much worse than the office on the 9th floor. There are sundries everywhere. It seems that the desk has not been cleaned for a long time, and there are a few empty bottles on the ground.

What is more noticeable is a huge bookcase with a glass door in the corner. Through the glass window, you can see many paper bags placed side by side inside, which are very similar to what they found before.

After Hua Luo realized it, he immediately walked towards the bookcase.

"How could this happen? "Chu Jiu's voice disrupted Hua Luo's steps. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chu Jiu holding a flashlight, shining the direction they came from.

The next second, Hua Luo's pupils trembled involuntarily.

The door they came in disappeared.

A huge picture frame appeared at the corresponding position.

"Doctor." The fat man covered his mouth and said vaguely: "The smoke is too big."

"Watch your feet and keep your body down. Jiao Tailang was also choked by the thick smoke. The smoke and dust were rolling around, accompanied by waves of heat, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.

About 10 minutes ago, a fire suddenly broke out in the building. The fire was extremely fierce. They came to a safety door under the leadership of Li Zumei.

But the safety door was blocked by something behind it, and it could not be pushed open. It could only open a larger 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 in the thick smoke.

The heat behind him was scorching, and the fire was about to burn over. Fatty even smelled the burnt smell of his hair. Just when he thought he was abandoned, Li Zumei's voice suddenly rang out from behind the door.

She told everyone to hold on, and then after a lot of fussing with the crowbar she found, she finally widened the gap before everyone was engulfed by the flames.

Fatty retreated to the back and let Jiang Cheng and Jiao Tailang go first. He was worried that his body would be stuck in the middle and would implicate the doctor.

Fortunately, the fat man was finally pulled out by the three of them.

Several people immediately ran down, but the further down they went, the thicker the smoke became, and the heat wave seemed to burn people.

Fatty even touched his eyebrows, worried that his eyebrows would burn.

In the thick smoke, Fatty couldn't open his eyes at all. He ran down completely on 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 only barely see that it was Li Zumei in front of him.

Li Zumei was an ordinary person after all, and she was a woman, so her physical strength and endurance were not as good as theirs. Fatty saw that her steps were getting weaker and weaker, and finally her body trembled and she actually fell down the stairs.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiao Tailang half-crouched in front of Li Zumei. The thick smoke made her burst into tears, but the next second, her tears were burned dry by the heat wave.

Her face was burning.

Fatty and Jiang Cheng were gone. She heard faint running sounds downstairs. It seemed that they had given up on this woman.

The woman groaned meaninglessly. She hugged her legs. Jiao Tailang touched them with his hand and found that the bones were not broken, but her foot should be twisted.

"Don't leave me." Li Zumei begged bitterly. She stretched out her swollen hands and grabbed Jiao Tailang's clothes.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and crackling sounds were everywhere. There was a huge wooden frame in the corridor not far behind the woman.

The wooden frame was burning, as if it could fall down at any time.

Jiao Tailang gritted his teeth, "Get up," she endured the heat and said loudly, "I'll help you walk!"

She let the woman's arm rest 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 was also very competitive, and the cooperation between the two became more and more skillful.

But just when Jiao Tailang forced herself to open her eyes and wanted to see the situation nearby, an inadvertent detail caught her eye.

Li Zumei put one arm on her shoulder, and for balance, she put her other hand on the handrail of the stairs.

Just walk down little by little.

Jiao Tailang's pupils jumped suddenly.

The coating on the handrail has already shown signs of melting. Jiao Tailang didn't know how high the temperature was, but it was definitely not a temperature that a normal person could touch with bare hands.

This woman is not a human.

She is a ghost.

After figuring this out, Jiao Tailang remained calm, and took the opportunity to let the woman change her posture, and took advantage of the opportunity when the woman moved her arm away, turned around and ran.

Jiang Cheng faced the same situation as 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 fiercely, without any signs, as if it had started instantly, and it was burning on multiple floors at the same time.

He remained calm before because Jiang Cheng had not found where the ghost was.

But when Li Zumei sprained her leg and lay on the ground, begging pitifully 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 she cry like a kite with a broken string like Li Zumei?

But Jiang Cheng still helped her up calmly, encouraged her, walked to the handrail of the stairs, kicked her down when she was not prepared, and ran upstairs.
