Chapter 23: Wilderness Hotel 23
Su Qingyun took out a new handkerchief, wet it with water, and then opened the door under Ye Yi's protection.
Outside the door, the smoke was so thick that I couldn't see the direction clearly. All I could hear were panicked figures running past me and the screams of women and children.
Su Qingyun bent down and found the stairs, then went down along the wall.
The smoke downstairs was even thicker. Su Qingyun carefully identified that the fire area was in the kitchen.
Wilderness Lodge Rule 12: In the event of an emergency, such as fire or earthquake, do not panic. Follow the emergency instructions in your room and gather in the open area behind the lodge.
Su Qingyun had read the escape guide in the room before leaving.
The escape route it points to is in the direction of the kitchen.
It appears that the access to the open space at the rear of the hotel is through the kitchen.
Su Qingyun thought of the side door that Ye Jian opened last night and the contaminated rules that Ye Yi told her.
"Let's go to the kitchen." She told Yoruichi and rushed into the kitchen.
Yang Bingyan and Fang Yuan, who came down later, were both stunned when they saw Su Qingyun rushing into the kitchen.
"Is she going to put out the fire?" Fang Yuan asked.
Yang Bingyan didn't say anything, but was wondering why Su Qingyun would go to the tiger mountain even though he knew there was a tiger there.
It should be impossible to put out the fire. Su Qingyun is not that great.
She should know the escape route. After figuring this out, Yang Bingyan quickly tore off a tablecloth, wet it with the kettle beside her, and then draped it over her body.
Fang Yuan next to him exclaimed, "Are you going in to put out the fire too?"
"There's an escape route inside." Yang Bingyan said and went into the kitchen.
Fang Yuan hurriedly followed, and halfway through he even tried to pull the tablecloth off Yang Bingyan, but was pushed away by Yang Bingyan.
In the kitchen, flames were coming out of a large oil pot, and thick smoke was rushing straight to the second floor from a hole above. The scene was very scary.
When Yang Bingyan ran in, Su Qingyun was nowhere to be seen, but a small side door at the back of the iron cage was open.
Yang Bingyan went in without any hesitation.
She didn't have any kitchen usage rules, so naturally she didn't know there was a rule that said not to open the side door when a foreign object attacked.
If she had known, she would definitely not be so reckless. She might even wonder if this was Su Qingyun's trick to scheme against her.
Sometimes, ignorance can save lives.
There was indeed a hidden world behind the side door. When Yang Bingyan ran out, a lot of people had already gathered in the open space behind.
The four people on the third floor, the family of three in Room 207, Ye Jian, and the bald man in Room 206 wearing a bathrobe with bare legs.
They each acted independently, either sitting or standing.
When Fang Yuan rushed out, the hunched old woman from the hotel also appeared in the open space.
She said it was just a fire in the oil pan and it was not a big deal. She would send someone to deal with it. For everyone's safety, she hoped everyone would stay in the open space.
"It's very safe here. No matter how big the fire is, it won't burn us."
No one said anything, except the mother of the family of three. She asked the old woman, "Boss, when will the mechanic you found for us arrive? It's been almost a week. You didn't call us just to let us stay a few more days, did you?"
The old woman tapped the stone on the ground with her cane and replied impatiently, "This is a wilderness hotel. What do you mean by wilderness hotel? It means there's no one living there for dozens of kilometers. The roads here are difficult to travel on normal days, let alone in foggy weather. Who would risk their lives to drive over here to fix your car in this weather?"
"Wait!" The old woman said this and left quietly.
The young mother was left speechless and began to vent her anger on her husband.
Su Qingyun did not go to the family of three, but looked around.
The open space behind the hotel is about the size of a basketball court. Although it is called an open space, it is surrounded by a wall with barbed wire on top. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a yard.
The sky was still foggy, but there were not many fog clouds above the open space, as if the barbed wire fence had some kind of magic that isolated the thick fog.
However, visibility was still very low. There was no fog, but it was shrouded in mist.
Su Qingyun was looking around when Yang Bingyan walked up to her.
She asked Su Qingyun, "Was this fire set on purpose by the hotel to gather all of us here?"
Su Qingyun glanced at her without responding, but turned his gaze to Ye Jian.
Ye Jian was lighting a cigarette with his head tilted, looking relaxed. When he saw Su Qingyun looking at him, he raised his eyebrows at her.
Su Qingyun shifted her gaze to other people.
She found three men and one woman on the third floor, all covered in dust and dirt, as if they had just crawled out of the ground.
Not only that, but the clothes they were wearing were also strange. It was morning and everyone had rushed out of the room because of the fire, so they were either wearing pajamas or their usual clothes.
But the four of them were wearing tight clothes and pants, headscarves and masks, and all carried a large bag behind them with ropes and other items hanging on the bag.
They didn't look like they had just woken up in the morning, but rather like they had just come back from outside.
Moreover, the environment is very poor and there is dirt all around, which requires lighting.
Underground.
This is Su Qingyun's judgment.
These people were digging, and they were digging inside the hotel.
Su Qingyun thought of the dirt that had been swept out of Room 207. She lowered her eyes in thought, wondering where the people on the third floor were digging.
Yang Bingyan, who was standing next to her, felt a little embarrassed when she saw Su Qingyun ignoring her. She thought that she was much nobler than Su Qingyun in the real world.
Now, she was talking to Su Qingyun in a noble manner, but Su Qingyun ignored her again.
She was very angry, but she couldn't show it because so many people were present, so she winked at Fang Yuan, asking him to complete the unfinished plan.
Fang Yuan didn't really listen to Yang Bingyan's words. He obeyed her just to get some benefits from her, such as clearance information or some ghost money.
For now, Fang Yuan didn't gain any advantage over Yang Bingyan, so he chose to ignore the look Yang Bingyan gave him.
However, Fang Yuan really wanted to make a deal with Su Qingyun. After Su Qingyun hung up the phone on him last night, he thought that Su Qingyun had been in the dungeon for so long that he must have acquired a lot of skills.
It is definitely not possible to lie to her, especially since she is much smarter than Yang Bingyan.
"Su Qingyun," Fang Yuan called Su Qingyun's name cautiously.
Su Qingyun turned her head.
"Last night I sincerely wanted to exchange my information for ghost money. I can ask for less. If you give me one thousand, I will tell you."
"Fifty." Su Qingyun replied.
"Fifty is too little. The information I obtained cost my life."
Su Qingyun looked at Fang Yuan's face and exposed his lies, "You haven't been contaminated again, and you're telling me you're going to take your life?"
It was most likely that he went to a place and saw something. She was willing to pay fifty yuan to listen to it because she just saw Yang Bingyan winking at him.
She wanted to see what these two people would come up with.
