The dim moonlight shone on Qi Guangyao's ferocious face. At this moment, his eyes were full of madness and ecstasy of revenge.
He sprinkled gasoline around the small building and poured the remaining gasoline on the doors and windows, obviously not wanting to give the people inside a chance to escape.
After doing all this, he took two steps back and took out a box of matches from his trouser pocket - "click".
A tiny flame lit up in the darkness, then drew an arc in the air and landed right in the center of the gate.
"boom--"
A muffled sound accompanied by a heat wave rose up instantly.
In the firelight, a figure fled in panic.
Qi Shengzhi had a nightmare.
He dreamed that he was holding Yue Feiying's hand and walking in a desert that seemed to have no end.
The scorching sun shines directly on my body, and the sand under my feet is so hot that it can penetrate the soles of my shoes. Every step I take feels like walking on fire.
Qi Shengzhi felt exhausted and thirsty, but he still couldn't see the end of the desert. What was even more terrifying was that in the distance he could vaguely see a vast expanse of yellow sand rushing towards them.
But as far as they could see, there was no place to hide from the wind and sand, so the two of them could only hug each other tightly and try to survive the sandstorm.
Soon, the sandstorm swept in front of the two of them and swallowed them up in an instant.
Qi Shengzhi couldn't open his eyes in the sandstorm and even breathing was extremely difficult. Just as he was about to open his mouth to call Yue Feiying, countless grains of sand got into his mouth, choking him and making him cough violently.
After a violent coughing fit, Qi Shengzhi felt that he was almost suffocating and in desperation he could only punch himself in the chest.
The next second, he gasped and opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that he was just dreaming.
But before Qi Shengzhi could feel relieved, the scene before him after he woke up made him even more shocked.
The room that should have been pitch black was now ablaze with flames. Scorching flames were burning wildly in every corner of the room. Even the bed curtains were ablaze. The windows were like the entrance to purgatory, with flames shooting up into the sky.
Qi Shengzhi immediately looked at Yue Feiying beside him, but found that her eyes were closed and she seemed to be still asleep.
Without further ado, he pulled Yue Feiying up, wanting to wake her up and quickly escape from the room, but Yue Feiying seemed to have lost consciousness and did not move.
"Firefly...cough cough..."
Qi Shengzhi was panicking and opened his mouth to wake her up, but he was caught off guard and inhaled a large mouthful of thick smoke, which choked him and made him cough continuously.
He knew something was wrong. Yue Feiying must have fainted from inhaling too much smoke. He had to get out quickly!
Qi Shengzhi picked up the unconscious Yue Feiying, stepped barefoot on the wooden boards that had become scorching hot, and ran towards the door.
He only heard a loud noise behind him, and he turned around to see -
The bed frame used to hang the bed curtains fell down with a loud noise, and it happened to hit the place where the two people had just slept.
Qi Shengzhi's heart tightened, and he opened the door and rushed out, regardless of the door handle that had been burned by the flames.
Little did they know that the living room had already turned into a large furnace, with dazzling flames and thick smoke everywhere.
This two-story building was mostly decorated with wooden materials. The wooden floors, wooden stairs, and wooden furniture were all engulfed in flames without exception. The flickering flames made it look as terrifying as hell on earth.
Qi Shengzhi looked around and saw that there was no place that was not on fire.
From time to time, there was a crackling sound coming from the direction of the stairs, and the muffled sound of broken beams and pillars could be heard from the roof. At this time, pieces of burning wallpaper fell from the ceiling, as if it was raining fire.
There was no way to go ahead, Qi Shengzhi changed his mind, turned around and picked up Yue Feiying and hid in the toilet.
Fortunately, the toilet had not caught fire yet. He immediately closed the door, carefully leaned Yue Feiying against the wall, turned on the faucet, pulled off the towel on the wall to wet it with water, and quickly stuffed it into the crack of the door to block the thick smoke that kept coming in.
After doing these things, he held Yue Feiying in his arms again, splashing cold water on her cheeks and calling her name loudly in her ear, his eyes full of anxiety.
Fortunately, Yue Feiying woke up not long after, her eyes full of confusion:
"...Where is this?"
Qi Shengzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was so afraid that Yue Feiying would never wake up again after falling asleep.
He was worried about scaring Yue Feiying, so he tried to speak calmly:
"There's a fire at home. We're hiding in the bathroom now, but it's not safe here either. We need to find a way out as soon as possible."
The toilet on the first floor has no windows, so they can neither escape through the window nor let in fresh air from outside. Wet towels cannot completely block all the gaps. The longer they stay in the toilet, the more toxic smoke will seep in, and their breathing will become more and more difficult.
Yue Feiying, who had just woken up, felt as if her head was covered with paste and was extremely heavy.
She understood what Qi Shengzhi said and knew that their situation was very dangerous, but when she tried to stand up, she found it difficult to even raise her hand.
Qi Shengzhi quickly comforted:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here! I will definitely get you out safely!"
He looked through the glass on the toilet door and saw that the outside had turned into a sea of fire. The toilet door began to make a "cracking" sound similar to the shattering of stairs, and the door handle was also burned red by the fire.
Qi Shengzhi's heart sank. He couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise they would either be burned to death or suffocated to death by the smoke.
