When a bullet is fired into a gasoline barrel, it is more likely that combustion will occur first rather than explosion, which can provide time for retreat.

Some knowledge he had read before emerged in Jiang Lai's mind. He held the gun steadily at the wall and fired several shots!

The sounds of "bang bang bang" echoed clearly in the room. The gentleman raised his eyebrows slightly and wanted to laugh at the other party's shooting skills, but before that, he felt the heat wave behind him!

——Jiang Lai’s target was not that gentleman at all!

"What...!" The gentleman turned around in surprise, and what he saw was a huge fire rising up. Fueled by gasoline, the flame was as fierce and powerful as a tiger, unstoppable!

The temperature in the entire room rose almost instantly!

"There's gasoline buried here." The gentleman's expression darkened. "They are really well prepared." He stared at Jiang Lai. "Using this method, all the information here will disappear."

No. I have copied the important data files on the computer in advance, Jiang Lai thought to himself.

He, who controls the organization's overall system, has already sealed off other secret exits in the office. The underground organization has no windows, which means that the only exit at this time is this door.

Jiang Lai happened to be in front of the door. He took a few steps back, intending to open the door and then lock the last door, completely trapping the gentleman in the fire.

However, the door closed before Jiang Lai's eyes!

"!"

The gentleman took a few steps to the side and said with a smile: "It is indeed very powerful to be able to hack into the organization's main system. But... this is [my] office!" He revealed a small controller in his hand.

Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes. Did this guy actually set up a double-layer program? One part is connected to the main system, and the other part is controlled manually in the most primitive way!

The flames devoured everything in front of him, and the office behind the door became even hotter. "It will be you who will die here this time!" The gentleman pressed the controller again, and a new secret door appeared on the side of the wall. He turned around and planned to step into this new escape route.

We can't let that gentleman escape!

At this time, Jiang Lai did not bother to take out his mobile phone to control the overall system program. He nimbly jumped over to block the gentleman's escape. The gentleman who noticed Jiang Lai's action pressed the controller again without hesitation, and the floor next to the desk suddenly separated to the sides, revealing a large hole!

Jiang Lai noticed the movement of the floor and turned to the side to avoid this sudden trap!

Jiang Lai was not surprised to see these things. He had been alert for a long time and knew that the gentleman's office could not have any other tricks besides surveillance and secret doors.

At this time, Jiang Lai avoided the trap on the ground and approached the gentleman. Under the condition that □□ is useless, fists and feet are a more powerful weapon!

Close combat is definitely a useful skill. Jiang Lai and the gentleman were fighting on the ground. The protective gear seemed to make the gentleman more powerful, and he pressed Jiang Lai towards the place where the gasoline was burning.

The gentleman had a distorted expression, and he pressed Jiang Lai's shoulders with both hands, pressing them towards the wall where the fire was the hottest: "Damn rat...the one who destroyed all this, die!"

"You are the one who deserves to die!" Jiang Lai, who had been struggling just now, suddenly burst out with his accumulated strength, twisted and pulled his arm to break free from the clamp, and then kicked the gentleman!

The gentleman didn't expect that Jiang Lai was just showing weakness on purpose. He was kicked by the sudden force and staggered back a few steps. It wasn't a big deal if there wasn't a big pit behind him!

The gentleman missed his step and fell to the ground almost instantly! He screamed "Ahhh!" and then there was the dull sound of a body hitting the ground.

Jiang Lai didn't know whether the protective gear could protect against the impact of falling from a high altitude, but no matter what, he knew that once a person fell, he couldn't get out again. Because this was a trap that the gentleman used to trap others, it was definitely not a place where an escape route was hidden.

Therefore, even if that gentleman did not die from the fall, he would not have time for others to pull him out, and the collapsed base would have buried this place to death!

——The one who buried the future of countless people underground, his end will also be buried deep here.

Jiang Lai stood up, his eyes were red from the thick smoke, and his throat was also making a noise of discomfort. He wanted to leave this place quickly through the secret door, but after taking a few steps there, his sixth sense flashed through his mind like an electric shock, and he quickly fell to the side, and at the same time, a violent explosion sounded!

The huge shock wave almost threw Jiang Lai against the wall, and a bigger fire swept over, engulfing the entire desk!

Jiang Lai was thrown to the main entrance. He got up from the ground and saw that the place where the secret door was located had been completely engulfed in flames.

"Damn it..." Jiang Lai gritted his teeth and whispered. He tried to hold the handle to open the door, but the office door was locked.

It must be controlled electronically. Jiang Lai understood, and he took out his cell phone, ready to instruct the master control system to open the door.

His fingers were slightly injured from the fight just now, but it did not affect his typing speed too much. He quickly flipped through the densely packed programs of the master control system to find the office program and control the opening of the main door.

As the command was given, the door slowly opened, and it seemed that due to the impact of the explosion and fire, the speed slowed down a lot and was very sluggish.

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Jiang Lai muttered to himself, and then watched the door in front of him stop after opening a narrow range.

"!?" Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, he continued to press the control button to open the door, but the door no longer responded!

Hey, hey... No way, don't let it malfunction at a time like this!

The door was locked and could no longer be opened and closed manually like a normal door. It was half-opened, with the width just wide enough for one's forearm to extend.

Seeing that the program control was useless, Jiang Lai gritted his teeth, put away his phone, and began to pry the door open with his hands.

...Open it! Open it for me!

"Jiang Lai? Jiang Lai?!"

There was a shouting voice coming from outside, Jiang Lai responded quickly: "I'm here!"

The footsteps quickly moved here, and the curly-haired man standing outside the door was Matsuda Jinpei!

"Ahem, there's a lot of smoke here, there's a fire." There were a few blood-stained spots on Matsuda Jinpei's clothes, but judging from his mental state at the time, it should be someone else's blood, and Matsuda Jinpei was not injured. "Where's that guy, Boss?"

"Solved." Jiang Lai replied.

Jiang Lai's phone had location sharing turned on in the family group when the final battle started, so Matsuda Jinpei was able to find Jiang Lai based on this.

"What's wrong with you..." Matsuda Jinpei looked at the black-haired young man behind the door and paused, "Can't you get out?"

"Well...because of a malfunction, the door is stuck." Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Let me help you." Matsuda Jinpei kicked the door hard, but the locked door only shook.

"Let's work together." Jiang Lai said, putting his hands on the door again and pulling inwards from the inside, while Matsuda Jinpei applied force at the same time.

As the two of them worked together, the gap in the door widened a little more, but it was only wide enough for them to stick their arms out. The fire in the office was blazing, and the heat wave rolled in, causing sweat to ooze out of the foreheads of Jiang Lai and Matsuda Jinpei.

"...No, it can't be opened." Jiang Lai let go of his hand.

At this rate, it would take at least ten minutes to open the door. But we couldn't wait any longer!

He knew that there was a bomb hidden on the top of the office, which could explode at any time due to the fire in the office. Then, none of them would be able to escape!

"..." Jiang Lai raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and made a decision in his heart. His eyes, red from the smoke, looked at the people outside, "...Matsuda, go now. There's a bomb in the house, we can't wait any longer." His voice was cold.

"No, what—"

"Don't worry about me." Jiang Lai said softly, trying to cover up his trembling voice. He threw the phone to the other party, "Don't worry about me. There are data copied from that gentleman's computer. The password is..."

Before Jiang Lai could finish, Matsuda Jinpei interrupted him: "You want me to leave you behind? No way! Go back and hand in the materials yourself. I won't help you convey them!"

After yelling out this call in one breath, Matsuda Jinpei, who had inhaled too much black smoke, began to cough violently. He held the door, staring at Jiang Lai while coughing, his dark eyes conveying his unspoken determination.

"Matsuda, it's better for one person to go than for both of us to stay here." Jiang Lai's eyebrows softened, "It's great to meet you... Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. You are all great heroes, and your future will surely be super brilliant."

"Go back, Matsuda. Deliver this valuable information to me, along with my beliefs and...last words."

The last words were spoken in a gentle and steady voice. Matsuda Jinpei half lowered his head, casting a shadow that covered the upper half of his face. He did not speak.

"Matsuda, hurry up," Jiang Lai urged. The fire behind him was getting more intense.

"……No."

"Matsuda."

"I said - no!!" Matsuda Jinpei raised his face, with a wanton arc at the corner of his mouth, "I'm not someone who abides by the rules and obeys the rules, am I?!"

He stood up and clenched his fists together. "It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary door or an electronic door, even if it's the gate of hell - open it for me!!"

Screaming at the top of his lungs, Matsuda Jinpei raised his fists and hammered hard on the door, one punch after another!

"You brought the future to everyone, what about you? Jiang Lai! If heroes deserve a brilliant future, that naturally includes you!!"

The collision of flesh and bones against metal made a dull sound, and the fragile human skin was torn and bled under such a violent blow. However, Jinpei Matsuda seemed to feel no pain and hammered on the door with incredible force!

Jiang Lai was stunned. He looked in amazement at the door opening little by little under such continuous attacks.

"Asshole... I came here on purpose, not to listen to your last words!" Matsuda Jinpei gritted his teeth, the bright flames illuminated his eyes, along with the shining soul, "I came - to take you home!!"

With a final roar, Matsuda Jinpei hammered on the door with all his strength!

As if a switch had been pried open, the door that had been stuck started to move again, opening a little bit to reveal the road to life and the future.

The flames burned fiercely, the smoke filled the air, but the sickle of death was ultimately slower than the light of the human soul.

"..." Matsuda Jinpei was breathing heavily, bright red blood dripping from his fingers onto the ground, but his eyes were bright and firm as he looked at the person in front of him.

"...Okay," Matsuda Jinpei said hoarsely. He reached out his hand and held Jiang Lai firmly. "Let's go home together."
