Gao Fei pursed his lips, feeling a sense of inexplicable danger lurking in the fish tank, so he didn't agree, but most people did.
The minority submits to the majority. Song Zhigang stepped forward and squatted down to unplug the socket. He saw a whole stack of old newspapers next to the socket, and his previously wavering thoughts became even more resolute.
He didn't expect that as soon as he unplugged the socket, all the lights in the room went out.
Before they could react, the loudspeaker began announcing the list of eliminated contestants: "Song Zhigang eliminated, Chen Hong eliminated,..."
As Gao Fei listened to the other people being eliminated, he felt somewhat glad that he had made a point of standing at the door earlier.
The staff didn't leave anyone in suspense. After clearing the area, staff members wearing full fireproof suits re-entered the venue to show the F class what was supposed to happen.
As soon as the socket was unplugged, the aging power strip and the worn power cord that had been pressed under the chair for a long time caused a short circuit. The short circuit point generated a high temperature, and the short circuit point was right under the old newspaper. The huge electric spark generated by the short circuit ignited the plastic casing of the power strip and also ignited the old newspaper.
The person who was startled and crouching down will instinctively lean against the table where the fish tank is placed. The missing leg of the table is not dangerous in itself, but the impact of the person will cause the fish tank to tilt. However, the fish tank is still very heavy and will not fall. Moreover, the person will have plenty of time to react and stabilize the fish tank.
However, a small bottle of melting oil placed next to the fish tank was knocked over onto the carpet. The splashing water from the fish tank, combined with the oil-containing flames, was like water being poured into a frying pan. The hot sparks were sprayed onto the carefully arranged ignition paths around the room, and the flames spread rapidly, forming a fire trail that instantly created a circle. The room was left with only a sea of fire.
The staff were putting out the fire in the house, while those outside the door were terrified as they watched the fire burst into flames inside. The warm, burning air seemed to be burning the hair on their faces as well.
Gao Fei was also somewhat shaken. The fire had spread too quickly; there was simply no time to react. Moreover, because of the oil, they couldn't use the water from the fish tank to extinguish it. There were no fire-fighting tools in the house. Once the fire started, it meant they were already on the Grim Reaper's list.
