Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Mou Xuan in confusion.
Luo, the foreman, walked over slowly, cigarette in his mouth, and asked impatiently, "Boss Mou, what's going on? You will have to pay for delaying the construction period."
Mou Xuan ignored him and scanned the entire construction site with sharp eyes. An ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
He walked to the place where the prefabricated panel had just fallen, carefully checked the traces of fracture, then looked up at the crane and the surrounding steel structure with a frown.
"Check all the equipment and materials carefully!" Mou Xuan's voice was deep and powerful. "Don't let any small problems go!"
Although the workers did not understand what was going on, seeing Mou Xuan's serious expression, they did not dare to delay and began to check.
Worker Yang was checking and muttering quietly: "Boss Mou is too cautious. It's just a prefabricated board. Is it that serious?"
Foreman Luo also felt that Mou Xuan was making a big deal out of nothing. He was about to complain when he saw Mou Xuan staring at him with cold eyes. He was so scared that he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Time passed by minute by minute, and a tense atmosphere filled the construction site.
Suddenly, there was a pungent smell of burning, and then someone shouted: "Fire! Fire!"
Mou Xuan looked up suddenly and saw thick smoke and flames rising into the sky from the place where wood was piled in the distance.
His heart sank instantly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his head.
"Damn it!" Mou Xuan growled, his face livid. The thing he was most worried about had finally happened.
"Hurry! Put out the fire! Put out the fire!" Luo, the foreman, was also panicked and shouted at the top of his voice.
The workers were in chaos. Some rushed towards the fire with fire extinguishers, while others were so frightened that they didn't know what to do and just stood there blankly.
Mou Xuan looked at the blazing fire, his heart filled with despair.
He knew that the fire not only burned some wood, but also burned his hard work and his hopes.
Are all his efforts really going to go to waste?
Just then, a voice came from behind him: "Mr. Mou, don't worry, I'll help you!"
The fire was like a greedy beast, opening its bloody mouth and madly devouring everything around it.
Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
The crackling sound of burning seemed to be mocking Mou Xuan's helplessness.
Luo, the foreman, turned pale with fear. He pointed at the fire scene and shouted incoherently, "It's over, it's all over! My money, my house!"
Worker Yang collapsed on the ground, his legs weak and his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.
He kept repeating: "My salary, my salary..."
The other workers were also in chaos, running around like headless flies.
Some people were spraying fire extinguishers at the flames, while others were hiding with their heads in their hands. The scene was in chaos.
Mou Xuan also felt a sense of despair, he knew what the fire meant.
The safe house he had painstakingly built was about to be reduced to ashes.
All his efforts will be in vain.
"Should I really give up?" Mou Xuan felt unwilling.
The chaos and despair around him were like a huge net that wrapped him tightly and made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He felt that his power was so small. Facing the raging fire, he was as powerless as an ant.
However, at this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from deep in Mou Xuan's heart.
He raised his head suddenly
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Then he began to direct everyone to evacuate. His voice was steady and powerful, like a reassurance, gradually calming the panicked crowd.
"Everyone, listen to my instructions. Don't panic! Evacuate to a safe area first!"
When the workers heard Mou Xuan's voice, they seemed to have found their backbone, and they followed his instructions and evacuated the fire scene in an orderly manner.
Foreman Luo and worker Yang were also a little surprised to see Mou Xuan so calm.
They originally thought that Mou Xuan would be as panicked as they were, but they didn't expect him to be so calm and composed.
"Boss Mou, you..." Foreman Luo looked at Mou Xuan.
Mou Xuan ignored him and continued to direct everyone to evacuate.
When everyone evacuated to a safe area, Mou Xuan looked at the blazing fire.
"Time..." he murmured softly, "It's time to show your power..."
Mou Xuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The time power is activated!
He seemed to have gone back a few minutes and witnessed with his own eyes that worker Yang was smoking furtively in a corner, and the cigarette butt accidentally ignited the flammable materials next to him.
Good job you guy!
Mou Xuan cursed inwardly, quickly dialed the fire number, and informed the fire department of the specific situation.
"Hello, is this 119? There's a fire at the XX construction site. The fire is huge. Please come to our rescue as soon as possible!"
After doing all this, Mou Xuan "returned" to the present.
Not long after, the shrill sound of sirens came from afar and the fire trucks roared over.
Firefighter Ye led his team to quickly launch a fire-fighting operation, and the high-pressure water gun sprayed a powerful column of water directly to the source of the fire.
"Mr. Mou, we must control the fire as soon as possible!" Firefighter Ye assured Mou Xuan.
Watching the well-trained firefighters working hard to put out the fire, Mou Xuan finally felt relieved.
"Thanks, brother!" he said with genuine gratitude.
The workers around also breathed a sigh of relief, their joy at surviving the disaster was beyond words.
The fire was quickly brought under control, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.
Looking at the burned part, Mou Xuan was not discouraged, but full of fighting spirit.
"Brothers, don't lose heart! This little setback is nothing! We will rebuild together!"
Inspired by him, the workers rekindled their enthusiasm and worked together to work overtime to repair the damaged parts.
Mou Xuan also personally took part in the work, moving bricks and transporting cement, without any airs.
Seeing how hard Mou Xuan worked, Luo the contractor and Yang the worker felt embarrassed to be lazy and started working together.
Time flies, and with everyone's joint efforts, the safe house was finally built successfully!
It stands above the ruins like an impregnable fortress, a symbol of hope and rebirth.
"Ooooh! Done!"
“Safe House is awesome!”
The workers cheered and celebrated this hard-earned victory.
Mou Xuan stood in front of the completed safe house, his heart filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment.
He seemed to see the scene where he and his companions lived peacefully here after the end of the world.
However, at this moment, Mou Xuan's cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the joyous atmosphere.
He picked up the phone and his expression instantly became serious.
"What? The end of the world...is coming early?"
