A violent explosion resounded outside the deserted factory. The deafening sound was like a heavy bomb, instantly dragging Ling Yichen from a brief hope of rescue back into the abyss of despair. He was enveloped in the choking smell of gunpowder in the pit, filled with anxiety, but completely unaware of the crisis outside. He could only helplessly await his fate in the darkness.
Ling Yichen was trapped in the deep pit. The acrid smell of gunpowder mixed with the stench of decay in the pit was suffocating him. He struggled to hold his breath, trying to discern any information about the outside world in the darkness. "Li Yang! How are you?" he shouted hoarsely, his voice echoing in the darkness, but only receiving endless silence in return.
At that moment, Li Yang and the girl were knocked to the ground by the force of the explosion outside the factory. Li Yang was the first to get up; his ears were ringing from the explosion, and his vision was blurred, only able to see raging fire and billowing smoke raging around the factory. The acrid smell of burning filled the air. He coughed and shouted Ling Yichen's name, but only the crackling of burning and the howling wind answered him.
"We have to find a way to get in and save him!" The girl stood up, her voice trembling with tears.
Li Yang stared anxiously at the sea of fire before him. His vision gradually returned, and he saw that the factory gate was engulfed in flames, the only entrance blocked. "Go in through the window on the side!" Li Yang grabbed the girl and ran towards the side of the factory.
They circled around to the side of the factory and found a relatively intact window. Li Yang smashed the glass with force, and acrid smoke rushed out, stinging their eyes. Li Yang covered his mouth and nose with his clothes and was the first to climb through the window.
The factory was in chaos, with fires raging in every corner, crackling and popping like the roar of demons. Li Yang and the girl carefully navigated the ruins, dodging falling bricks and burning debris. Their footsteps crunched on the dusty, rubble-strewn ground.
"Ling Yichen! Where are you?" Li Yang shouted, his voice sounding so small in the firelight and smoke.
Suddenly, the girl grabbed Li Yang's arm: "Listen, I think I can hear a sound!"
The two immediately fell silent. Amidst the clamor of the burning, they faintly heard Ling Yichen's response. "This way!" Li Yang ran towards the direction of the voice, the girl close behind him.
They reached the edge of the pit and, by the light of the burning fire, finally saw Ling Yichen trapped inside. "Ling Yichen, hold on, we're here to save you!" Li Yang shouted.
Ling Yichen saw Li Yang and the girl in the deep pit, and a glimmer of hope welled up in his heart. "Quick, find a way to pull me up!" he shouted.
Li Yang searched everywhere for tools he could use for the rescue, but all he found were burning ruins and scattered debris. Suddenly, he spotted a long iron rod. He struggled to pull it out of the rubble and reached it into the pit. "Grab it!"
Ling Yichen reached out and grabbed the iron bar, while Li Yang and the girl pulled him up with all their might. Just as Ling Yichen was about to be pulled up, suddenly, a violent tremor came from underground, the surrounding walls began to shake violently, and more bricks and stones fell down.
"Oh no, the factory is going to collapse!" Li Yang shouted.
Ling Yichen was startled. He knew that if they didn't leave quickly, they would all be buried under the rubble. With all his might, and with the help of Li Yang and the girl, he finally jumped out of the deep pit.
The three had just escaped the pit when the ground behind them collapsed, raising a cloud of dust. They dared not linger and ran towards the factory exit.
When they finally ran out of the factory, the sky outside was already glowing red from the firelight. Li Yang and the girl were panting heavily, and Ling Yichen collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a black sedan slowly pulled up and stopped in front of them. The door opened, and a familiar figure stepped out—it was the man in sunglasses they had encountered in the ruins earlier.
"You think you can escape?" the man said coldly. "You'll never know the secret of the new drama."
Ling Yichen struggled to his feet, glaring at the man: "What exactly do you want?"
The man didn't answer, but simply took a device from his pocket and pressed a button. Instantly, the ground around them began to shake, and a huge metal cage slowly rose from the ground, trapping the three of them inside.
"Stay here and be content," the man said, then turned and went back to his car.
Ling Yichen, Li Yang, and the girl are trapped in a metal cage, surrounded by raging fire and billowing smoke. Can they escape? What is the connection between the man in sunglasses and the secret of the new drama? Will the secret of the new drama be revealed? Everything remains uncertain, and they are falling into an even deeper crisis, awaiting another test of fate…
