Dugu Yun was walking in front, and when he saw the billowing black smoke coming out from downstairs, he quickly retreated back upstairs.
"What happened?" Shu Ya asked, "Is there a fire down there?"
"The smoke is so thick that I can't see anything." Dugu Yun was choking and coughing. "Is there any other way out?"
Luo Tian looked around and found that there was only one passage: "Either go down from here, or jump out of the window."
Before the three of them could come up with a plan, the cloud of black smoke had already reached the stairs. A heat wave hit them in the face, and the three of them quickly retreated into the corridor.
Only then did Luo Tiancai see clearly that the source of the black smoke was a huge flamethrower. The front end of the flamethrower was a row of long black tubes, with flames spraying out from the trumpet-shaped nozzles at the front of the black tubes. The back end of the black tubes was connected to a porcelain bottle-shaped mechanical device, with a handle at the end.
The black smoke gradually dissipated, and Luo Tian finally saw clearly that the person holding the flamethrower was a large bald man wearing a white vest and black shorts. There was a big three of hearts printed in the middle of his vest.
"This guy looks a lot like a firefighter. Look at that fire-breathing thing. Doesn't it look like a fire extinguisher?" Shu Ya said.
"I think he is not a firefighter, but an arsonist. We have to think of a way to put out the fire." Luo Tian said, turning to Dugu Yun, "I'm afraid that if we want to defeat this guy, we can't just rely on punches and kicks."
Dugu Yun replied: "How can we know if we don't try?"
After he finished speaking, he rushed forward. Suddenly, a huge fire dragon came towards him. Dugu Yun reacted quickly and dodged. The gushing fire dragon instantly engulfed the iron pipe embedded in the wall. The hard iron pipe actually turned directly into molten iron, which dripped down the wall.
"It can melt steel instantly. The temperature must be over ten thousand degrees. If a person is hit by it, he will turn into ashes immediately." Shu Ya said in surprise.
"Let's find a room to hide first." After Luo Tian said this, he and Dugu Yun and Shu Ya retreated, turned into a room and locked the door.
"It seems that close combat is impossible." Dugu Yun had to admit this fact.
"Let's see what weapons everyone has that can deal with it." Luo Tian said.
Shu Ya searched the Kaiyuan equipment warehouse, but found no weapons that could handle such a powerful flame. She shook her head helplessly, "I don't have any. The five spades just now still meet the weapon regulations of Uranus City, but the red heart outside is too exaggerated. They actually used thermal weapons."
Luo Tian's equipment were all hot weapons, but none of them could deal with flamethrowers: "Although Uranus City does not allow the use of hot weapons, considering that they can be used in the Star Picking Competition, the restrictions have been lifted. I thought hot weapons were just for simple beatings, but I didn't expect there would be such powerful guys."
Dugu Yun also shook his head: "My equipment is very simple, and there is nothing I can do to deal with it. Since we can't go through the main door, we can go through the window."
"Good idea. I have a landing belt. As long as it is fixed on the window, you can slide down along the belt." Shu Ya said.
"That's it. I'll go check it out." Luo Tian walked to the window and pulled open the curtains. The room soon became bright. He opened the bolt. The window was not big enough for only one person to pass through.
Shu Ya took out the landing belt, Luo Tian opened the buttonhole of the landing belt and tied it to the window bolt. Suddenly, there was a bang and a hole was broken in the window glass.
Luo Tian suddenly realized something and shouted, "Get away from the window and hide in a safe place."
Shu Ya and Dugu Yun quickly hid in the corner of the room and watched what was happening outside the window.
The sounds of "Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang" became more and more frequent, and the window glass fell to the ground like snowflakes.
"It's a sniper." Shu Ya picked up a long bullet shell, "Damn it, we are trapped here."
Luo Tian picked up a pole, avoided the window, and poked the curtains with the long pole. After a lot of effort, he pulled the curtains back together. The room became dark again, but this darkness brought a sense of security.
The sniping soon stopped and the bang bang bang sounds could no longer be heard. Luo Tian breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, there was another banging sound outside the door.
"Damn it, who is kicking the door?" Luo Tian quickly moved closer to the door, pulled a cabinet, and blocked the door. The banging sound finally stopped.
"It's finally quiet." Shu Ya said relaxedly.
Luo Tian suddenly felt the temperature of the door gradually rising and soon became burning hot. Fortunately, the door was made of iron, otherwise it would have burned long ago if it was made of wood.
"Oh no, it's that Three of Hearts. He's using a flamethrower to break the door." Luo Tian touched the door and got burned.
"There are flamethrowers in front and intensive sniper fire behind. They are trying to kill us all! We have to leave here quickly. If the firefighter breaks the door, we will all become skewers." Shu Ya said.
Luo Tian thought for a moment and said, "I do have an idea, but it's a bit risky. I don't know if it will work."
Shu Ya said anxiously: "Hurry up and tell me, it's already too late. If we don't take the risk, we will become roasted suckling pigs."
Luo Tian said, "I have already fastened the landing belt to the window bolt. Everyone, tie yourselves to the landing belt. When the Three of Hearts breaks in, they will use fire. By then, the house will be filled with thick smoke. We can take advantage of this opportunity to jump out of the window. The sniper will definitely shoot into the room. It will take more than ten seconds to land on the ground. This is our escape time."
"What if the sniper finds out we are falling and shoots us directly?" Shu Ya asked.
"It's possible, but it's safer than here. First of all, the black smoke will provide some cover for us. Secondly, we will be descending very fast, and it will be difficult for them to aim at us. Now I'm worried whether your landing strip is stable enough." Luo Tian replied.
