Chapter 131

Xing Nuo looked at An Zimo who was crying and was stunned for a moment. Then he realized something belatedly and burst out laughing.

"I'm really not sad! The two dads are reconciled again!"

An Zimo stopped howling awkwardly, scratched his head, hugged a bag of potato chips, and chuckled foolishly.

"That's good. I thought your fathers were arguing again."

Xingnuo thought of his grandfather and father who had been treating each other with respect these days, and couldn't help shaking his legs, revealing his white little teeth.

"Dad hasn't quarreled in the past two days. They must be reluctant to part with each other!"

“A-choo!”

Wen Xingxue, who was working hard in the company, shuddered for no reason, as if someone was bullying him from behind.

Not knowing why, she felt somewhat uneasy. Wen Xingxue simply asked for leave from her boss and went to the school early to pick up Xingnuo after school.

Xingnuo held his father's hand, jumped up, and went home humming a song.

While eating lunch at noon, Wen Xingxue's feeling of uneasiness increased again. She couldn't help but look at Chen Wen and said:

"Do you feel something is wrong?"

Chen Wen nodded, looking at everything at home, and a feeling of uneasiness in his heart swept over him.

"Something is indeed wrong..."

"Come out quickly! There's a fire!"

"Run! How could there be such a big fire?!"

Before Shen Wen finished speaking, several noisy shouts from outside the window penetrated the glass and came straight in.

The sound of the ambulance pierced the noon sky, and the world outside seemed to be thrown into chaos in an instant.

Wen Xingxue had a wealth of common sense. Feeling the scorching heat coming from upstairs, she immediately stood up, took a wet towel, and covered Xingnuo's mouth and nose.

"Go! Get out first!"

Chen Wen hummed, without having time to think too much, and quickly followed Wen Xingxue out.

Xingnuo was held in Wen Xingxue's arms. He hugged his father's neck obediently, keeping silent so as not to cause too much burden to his father.

The tongues of fire in the corridor were like a boiling hot fire dragon, and they attacked with a bang the moment the three people walked out the door.

Chen Wen and Wen Xingxue cooperated well, one retreated while the other closed the door.

In just one second, the two reacted quickly and temporarily isolated the flames outside the door.

Taking two steps back, away from the scorching door, Chen Wen and Wen Xingxue looked at each other, and understood each other's meaning without saying a word.

"Go through the window!"

Shen Wen came to the balcony and quickly moved away several pots of flowers there.

Xingnuo followed behind him, carrying a pot of daisies, and placed it on the ground where it would not be in the way.

Wen Xingxue had already tied the bed sheets into a long rope and threw it down the stairs with swift movements.

"Take Xingnuo and go down first."

Chen Wen was not polite at all. He said he knew, picked up Xingnuo, held the rope with one hand, and slid down effortlessly.

Xingnuo looked at the ground getting closer and closer, his little curly hair fluttering in the wind, and waves of stimulation came over him, making him unable to help but open his mouth wide.

"It's so cool outside!"

Chen Wen successfully jumped down, patted Xingnuo's head soothingly, and looked up at the balcony on the fourth floor.

The fire behind Wen Xingxue grew bigger and bigger, the fiery red color reflected on his hair, as if it would lick his skin in the next second.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you jump down?"

Chen Wen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost thought that Wen Xingxue was about to be swallowed by the fire.

Fortunately, just one second before the fire reached her, Wen Xingxue turned over nimbly and slid down the long rope.

Xingnuo let out a long breath, his little face was blackened by the smoke. He looked at his father's golden hair covered with a layer of dust, and then looked at his eldest father's clothes with a torn corner, and couldn't help laughing.

“We are so miserable!”

With curved eyebrows, Xingnuo hugged his father's neck, feeling that nothing was more precious than being alive.

Wen Xingxue reached out and rubbed Xingnuo's back soothingly, and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid."

"Dad is always here and will always be with you."

Chen Wen looked up at the buildings on fire in the community, and when he turned around, he saw a blue rose.

"This is the only flower left in your pot. If you don't pick it, it will die when the fire comes."

Chen Wen was stunned for several seconds, then slowly raised his head and met Wen Xingxue's eyes.

He discovered that Wen Xingxue's eyes were surprisingly similar to Xingnuo's.

They all have round cat-like pupils with slightly upturned tails. The pupils are as transparent as glass beads, beautiful and bright.

Ke Wen Xingxue's eyes became more rigid and indifferent, and her expression was gloomy, not as round and cute as Xingnuo's.

Chen Wen took the blue rose and looked into Wen Xingxue's eyes, not saying a word for a long time.

Wen Xingxue didn't care. She looked up at the layers of burning fire and brought Xingnuo and Shen Wen to a more open area in the community.

Many people ran down the community, all with miserable faces and some with half their arms burned.

“Why are there fires on so many floors in the community?”

"It's really strange. Our firefighting tools were also locked and can't be opened at all!"

An aunt who had lived there for a long time covered her wound, thought of something, and suddenly spoke:

"I remember now! This morning, there were several groups of sneaky people, hiding and wandering around the upper floors of several residential buildings. I ran into them when I went to the rooftop to hang out clothes!"

Wen Xingxue's ears twitched, and he turned to look at the aunt and asked:

"What were they doing at the time? Were they from our neighborhood?"

Auntie was quite afraid of Wen Xingxue before, but now her anger and suspicion prevailed and she couldn’t care less for a moment.

"At the time they said they were here to inspect some real estate project, but I was in a hurry to hang my quilt and didn't pay attention. Now that I think about it, they are so suspicious!"

"The group was holding some strange things in their hands, mumbling something like 'there's nothing here either'!"

Wen Xingxue glanced at Chen Wen and was about to say something when suddenly an explosion was heard from her floor.

The whole building suddenly began to collapse with the explosion.

The rumbling sound resounded through the sky, dust rose up, and in an instant, the house collapsed into ruins.

Xingnuo looked at his own house which was gone. He stared blankly for a long time, tears welling up in his eyes. He reached out and wiped his eyes.

“The family’s house is gone.”

Wen Xingxue's already gloomy expression became even more ferocious and terrifying at this moment.

“This is definitely man-made.”

Shen Wen's voice was cold, with a streak of dust on his face. His always exquisite and beautiful image now revealed a bit of embarrassment.

“Don’t let me find out who you are.” Shen Wen’s eyes were sullen, with a hint of violent ferocity in them.

Wen Xingxue asked someone for tissues and handed them to Chen Wen and Xingnuo.

"Wipe your faces first. I'll pack the cash and go buy some food."

When a few people ran out, they had not even had time to eat a few bites of lunch.

Xingnuo obediently wiped his father's face, turned his head and told his father:

"Big Daddy, you need to come back soon, it's very dangerous now!"

Wen Xingxue glanced at Xingnuo, touched his head, with a soft light in his eyes, and turned his head to look at Shen Wen.

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Chen Wen inexplicably felt that Wen Xingxue's gentle look was a bit dazzling, and frowned and said:

"Why are you looking at me? Go quickly."

Wen Xingxue nodded, went to a store at the entrance of the community that was not damaged, and bought a few packs of biscuits and water.

Wen Xingxue thought that Xingnuo and Shen Wen were both frightened, so she thought she should buy something sweet to calm them down.

He was standing in front of the shelf, comparing which marshmallow was sweeter, when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

“Wen Shen! It’s really you, ahhhhh!”

"Fuck, this is awesome, I ran into Boss Wen when I entered a random dungeon!"

"Boss, what mission are you here for? This dungeon is so simple, you should be in a different one from us!"

Two or three people stood in front of Wen Xingxue, looking excited, saying words that Wen Xingxue could not understand at all.

But Wen Xingxue did not speak. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying:

"Why are you here?"

There was a low-level player nearby who wanted to curry favor with the powerful, and he immediately spilled all the beans.

"A few of us wanted to pick a simple dungeon to earn points. We heard that this 'Happy Homeland' dungeon had just been opened not long ago, the level was only C, and the monsters inside were easy to deal with, so we came here."

"Where's Wen Shen? Are you also in this instance?"

"That's definitely not the case! Some complex and high-level dungeons also contain many small dungeons. For a ruthless person like Wen Shen who only challenges dungeons above level A, his mission must be different from ours!"

“Maybe Wen Shen’s copy is the entire city!”

"That's awesome! The city dungeon is at least A-level."

Wen Xingxue listened silently, holding the bag of marshmallows she wanted to buy for Xingnuo, her mind racing.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked:

"Did you set the fire in the community?"

The leading player captain came over from another row of shelves and saw Wen Xingxue. He was surprised for a moment, then spoke nonchalantly:

"Yes, the monster in this instance is afraid of fire and is hiding in several buildings. We have been chasing it for two or three days, and this is the only way to force it out."

Wen Xingxue clenched the marshmallow bag tightly, making a faint crackling sound.

"Many people in the community died in there, and the buildings were blown down. Didn't you see it?"

The player captain felt that Wen Xingxue was inexplicable. He glanced at him and couldn't help but speak:

"Wen Shen, why are you so fussy? Weren't you more ruthless than anyone else in killing monsters before? And they were just a bunch of NPCs in a dungeon."

Wen Xingxue suppressed his anger. Thinking that his house had been burned down and a group of people were still here grinning and joking, he wanted to beat them up.

"What is an NPC?"

The captain finally felt something was wrong at this time, but after all, Wen Xingxue's first-place deterrence was too strong, and he didn't want to offend him, so he frowned and said:

"So what if they're not NPCs? This instance doesn't involve ordinary people. And even if they were, we would still set fire if necessary."

"The world has changed a long time ago. The strong are respected. Those people will die anyway. What difference does it make if it happens a day earlier or later?"
