Hu Bin quickly squatted down and climbed to Ye Han's side: "Ye Pai!"
"I'm fine, cough, I'm fine!" Ye Han wiped away the snot and tears on his face. He looked up and saw thick smoke rising up from downstairs, blocking the ceiling above his head.
"Ye Pai, what should we do? I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to die either!" Ye Han turned around and saw the two elevators on the right. The mall had been out of power for who knows how many days. The elevators would definitely not be usable. Moreover, you couldn't take the elevator in case of a fire. He immediately turned his gaze.
Turning to the left, I was surprised to see a floor plan hanging on the wall.
"Look, there are structural diagrams on the wall!"
Hu Bin immediately looked up and saw a large shopping mall structure diagram hanging on the wall of the stairwell.
The two worked hard to identify that in addition to the stairs and escalators on the patio, there was also an emergency passage next to the elevator at each corner of the mall.
Hu Bin said quickly: "We can't leave here, Ye Pai, let's find another staircase!"
At this time, Ye Han was also a little panicked and agreed without thinking. The two of them immediately exited the stairwell. Before leaving, Ye Han did not forget to close the glass door of the stairwell.
He vaguely remembered reading somewhere when he was a child that when a fire breaks out, the fire will burn wherever the smoke goes.
Although a mere glass door could not stop the raging fire, he always wanted to keep the fire out.
It wasn't until after running for more than ten steps that Ye Han realized that according to the report of the group, the flames had spread over a large area on the first floor. The first floor of this staircase had obviously been affected by the flames. So would the stairs in other directions be spared?
?
Thinking of this, Ye Han suddenly stopped: "Group, group, please answer when you hear it!"
"One group has received it, please speak!"
"How's the situation on the first floor? I mean, where's the fire?"
"I don't know. We have already evacuated. We don't know where the fire has burned!"
"Take a look and find a way to take a look immediately. It's up to you whether we can escape!"
"Let me try... No, I can't see anything, there's smoke and fire everywhere!"
"I understand." Ye Han wiped his face fiercely: "Three groups and three groups, how is the situation?"
"Three groups, three groups reported, the situation is very bad, the fire started immediately!"
"Run to the corner. There are stairs at the four corners. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Understood...ahem..."
"Group four, follow the instructions!"
"Group Four understands!"
"Group Five? Can Group Five hear you?"
There was still no response. Ye Han punched the counter next to him with hatred: "Point forward, please answer if you hear me!"
"Finger received!"
"We're stuck in the mall!"
"We're trying to figure it out!"
"Think of a way? We are about to be burned to death, and you still think of a way? Think of a way to collect the bodies?"
"I understand how you feel..."
"If you understand, please rescue us immediately!"
"Ye Han, listen to me, now, I need you to find a way to get to the top floor!"
"What did you say? What am I doing on the attic? Do we need to get out of here, leave the fire scene, go up to the attic and wait to be burned to death!"
"Calm down!"
"I can't calm down!"
"I'll take you out by helicopter, do you understand?"
Ye Han was immediately startled: "I understand."
"Well, hurry up to the top floor, the sooner the better!"
"Yes!" Ye Han finally regained some confidence, "Attention, each group, get to the rooftop as quickly as possible. Hu Bin, let's go!"
"Hey!" Hu Bin happily agreed.
The two people quickly ran towards another staircase. With a clear goal and an unusual eagerness in their hearts, the two people almost sprinted to another corner at a speed of 100 meters.
When they were about twenty or thirty meters away from the stairs, several people suddenly rushed out of the stairwell. After rushing out of the stairwell, they immediately fell to the ground, holding their arms and coughing violently.
Thick smoke billowed out of the unclosed stairwell.
"Damn it!" Hu Bin raised his pistol without saying a word and shot the unlucky ones who were still coughing to death with random shots.
Even if these people didn't have the brains to throw Molotov cocktails around, otherwise the mall wouldn't have caused such a big fire!
It happened that the mall had been without power for several days. Otherwise, with the mall's complete fire-fighting facilities, it was hard to say whether the fire would have ignited the entire first floor - He Lu ran over just now, and Hu Bin saw at least three flame-retardant rolling shutter doors.
There must be no less rolling shutter doors on the first floor than on the sixth floor. If the rolling shutter doors could work and the fire could burn out the patio, he would write the Chinese character "Hu" upside down!
But thinking about it now is of no use. The fire has already started. Killing all the gangsters will only leave a bad breath. How to escape to the top floor is the most important thing.
Ye Han's cheeks twitched: "If you don't look for it anymore, just go upstairs from here!" The increasingly severe smoke choked his nostrils and made him unspeakably uncomfortable. It is estimated that the situation on the other stairs is not much better.
If you're wasting time running around, you might as well just walk from here.
"Here?" Hu Bin pointed to the smoke-filled stairs unexpectedly.
"That's it." Ye Han lowered his head to the ground and slowly climbed toward the stairs shrouded in thick smoke. He tried to get as close to the wall as possible and slowly climbed upstairs with his face facing the wall.
The reason for slowing down is because the more you exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes, and your breathing will inevitably become faster and deeper, drawing more smoke into your lungs.
At this time, Ye Han was extremely regretful. Why didn't he wear a gas mask for convenience? Why did he throw the bag and the towel in the car together because it was troublesome?
Coughing all the way, he finally climbed to the gentle platform between the sixth and seventh floors. Ye Han suddenly discovered that the brightness here was much higher than below. When he looked up, he actually saw the window!
Ye Han's mind went blank. He instinctively pulled out his pistol and shot two small holes in the window glass.
Oh shit!
He took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, bent his elbow and smashed the window glass. A stream of fresh air with thick moisture rushed towards him, dispersing the smoke around Ye Han.
He greedily took a deep breath, another breath, and another breath... He had never felt that air was so precious in his life, and he never felt like he could get enough.
A large amount of smoke drifted out of the broken window. Hu Bin, who was still struggling to climb the stairs, suddenly found that the air he breathed into his lungs was not so choking, as if his whole person had come to life. It felt like a
The fish that drowned on land suddenly returned to the sea.
Apart from this nondescript description, Hu Bin really couldn't think of a more precise word to describe his state.
Ye Han sat on the ground with his back against the window sill. Although this position was still a little choked, it was much better than before: "Attention, each group, if you see a broken window when walking up the stairs, breathing some fresh air will make you feel better.
