The glass windows were shattered, the lights in the house were broken, broken glass flew everywhere, and even the door frames and glass window frames fixed to the wall were knocked over and fell down.
Wen Qiuning jumped out of bed reflexively, grabbed a coat and ran away.
As soon as I ran out of the door, the entire ceiling in the room fell down.
She couldn't imagine it. If she had been a second slower, she would have been hit by the ceiling.
She glanced back and ran towards the stairs.
She lived on the second floor and quickly ran out to the yard.
The embassy was filled with thick smoke, the dormitory building where they lived was on fire, and the north outer wall had completely collapsed.
People started running out of the building one after another. The scene was in chaos, with screams, sounds of collapse, cries for help, and people shouting loudly: "Comrades, don't panic, don't jump from the building!"
Wen Qiuning also recovered from his shock and realized that the place where they were had been bombed.
At this time, there was another earth-shaking sound. Wen Qiuning felt a strong heat wave pushing towards her. She and her colleagues were blown two meters away and fell to the ground.
The office building behind them instantly caught fire, and the southeast corner of the building disappeared in the loud noise.
Wen Qiuning thought of the important assets stored in the office building. These things were more important than life.
She and Xiao Zheng beside her shouted loudly, "Assets! Assets!"
She couldn't hear her own voice. She was shouting desperately, but she couldn't hear anything. She didn't know if Xiao Zheng heard what she said.
"Assets! Office on the third floor!" she shouted and gestured.
Xiao Zheng also quickly understood what Wen Qiuning meant.
Many people have returned home. There are only twelve people in the museum now. Some are trapped in the building, some are injured, and some are busy rescuing people. The scene is in chaos.
Wen Qiuning and Xiao Zheng couldn't find any help, so they ran towards the office building without delay.
The building was already on fire. After entering the building, the smoke and fire filled the air, choking people so much that they couldn't open their eyes.
The two men pulled up their clothes to cover their mouths and noses, squinted their eyes, and ran up the stairs one floor at a time through the smoke and dust with the help of the firelight.
The two of them struggled to get to the office on the third floor, closed the door to block the smoke spreading in the corridor, and began to pack up.
The entire building had lost power, and the two men relied on the light from the fire burning in the dormitory building opposite for lighting.
The two of them worked quickly and within ten minutes they had packed up all the important things, filling four full boxes.
Each of them picked up two boxes and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, accompanied by a loud bang, the whole building shook and the two were knocked to the ground.
"Damn it! Mad dog! Blatantly violating international law!" Wen Qiuning got up cursing.
Anyway, she couldn't hear what she said, and Xiao Zheng certainly couldn't hear it either.
The two men quickly got up, picked up the box, opened the door, and thick smoke mixed with heat waves hit them, choking them unexpectedly.
The two men felt their lungs suddenly burning. Wen Qiuning slammed the door shut, and they coughed up their lungs from knocking their heads in the office.
Wen Qiuning quickly poured out the water from the kettle to wet the towel. They didn't dare to waste even a second, so they covered their mouths and noses with the wet towels, opened the door, and ran towards the stairs.
The raging fire in the corridor blocked the way, and the two men could not get close at all, let alone pass through the fire to reach the stairs.
The two stood in front of the fire, stunned for a moment.
Wen Qiuning looked at Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Zheng shook his head vigorously at her, meaning that he couldn't get along!
The two had no choice but to run back to the office and close the door.
"We can't get through the stairs, we have to find another way to escape!" Xiao Zheng took off the towel and said while gasping for breath.
Wen Qiuning glanced around and his eyes fell on the curtains.
"Only the curtains," she said, and went to find the scissors.
Xiao Zheng had the same idea, and he pulled the curtains down with force.
But then there was another problem.
How should I cut the curtains for just one window?
If it is cut too wide, it is not long enough to reach the first floor. If it is cut too narrow, it does not have enough bearing capacity. How are they supposed to get down?
Wen Qiuning hesitated for a few seconds above the curtain with the hand holding the scissors.
The thick smoke outside kept coming in through the gaps in the door and windows, and the room became blurry.
"I cut it." Wen Qiuning said calmly.
"Go ahead and cut it," Xiao Zheng said. "You can't get down there anyway."
If you cut it too wide, it won’t reach the ground; if you cut it too narrow, it will smash to death on the ground.
Wen Qiuning tied a wet towel behind her head, covered her mouth and nose with it, and began to cut the curtains.
Xiao Zheng wet the rag and blocked the gaps in the doors and windows.
The two men tied the cut curtain strips together and tightened them, then tied the box on.
More than twenty minutes had passed since then, and the fire outside was approaching their office. The smoke was getting thicker and the temperature was getting higher.
Xiao Zheng pushed open the window, and thick smoke and heat waves hit him in the face again. Wen Qiuning felt that the upper half of her face that was not covered by the towel was burned by the fire.
Wen Qiuning pulled the curtains and Xiao Zheng carried the box out of the window.
At this time, someone had already discovered the two of them in the office building, and two colleagues were standing downstairs waving to them.
"Don't panic, someone will come to rescue you soon!"
The two men pulled the curtains and carried the box to the ground. The colleagues on the ground untied the curtains, and the two men pulled the curtains up again, tied up the next box and carried it down.
The four boxes were safely delivered to the ground.
Wen Qiuning looked down. It was so high. If she jumped down, she would either die or be crippled. Besides, she didn't have the courage to take such a step.
"Do you dare to jump?" Xiao Zheng asked, looking down.
