Wen Li and the others were on the 38th floor of the building, and they didn't know how long it would take for the rescue team to arrive.
The little fan who had just been saved by Wen Li was so scared that he almost jumped out of his skin.
She couldn't believe how dangerous it would have been if she had actually gotten on that elevator!
"I'm afraid to take the elevator lately, I'll take the stairs instead."
"Maybe I should just wait for the elevator to be fixed..."
Wen Li glanced at the person who spoke and, sure enough, saw that the person who said they were waiting for rescue looked even more deathly.
No one is allowed to stay on this floor, or rather, in this building.
Wen Li quickly said, "The rescue team and the elevator repairmen will definitely take a long time. Let's go down the stairs together. It won't take much time anyway."
Why would they refuse to go down the stairs with their idol?
The group found the fire escape on the stairs and followed Wen Li downstairs in a large group.
Wen Li had been paying attention to the changes in the death aura on everyone. She noticed that after they left, the death aura on everyone faded a bit, while the death aura on the staff and other people's fans who stayed behind seemed to have become stronger.
While texting Zhang Huaiyu who was rushing over, Wen Li led her fans ahead.
Seeing how approachable Wen Li was, the fans became bolder and started chattering away, asking her a bunch of questions.
Wen Li picked out some questions she could answer along the way.
"Little Pear, will you have any more works in the future? What kind of work will you be doing in the future?" a fan couldn't help but ask.
In the stairwell, many fans fell silent because the fan who had spoken earlier had voiced their true feelings.
Wen Li has very few works. Apart from "The Truth", she only has one supporting role and a movie that will be released domestically and internationally this year. She has no other works.
For a star with similar popularity, the lead actress would be overwhelmed with offers.
Fans can see that Wen Li is very easygoing, and they also know that if Wen Li is willing, she can go home and inherit the family business.
That's why fans are so worried.
The fan's question made Wen Li think seriously for a moment: "I should focus on my work in the next few years, but..."
Bang--
Wen Li's words came to an abrupt halt, followed by a series of panicked screams from the stairwell.
"What's going on? Where did that sound come from? Was there an explosion?"
Amidst the panicked cries, several more explosions rang out, followed by the smell of explosives emanating from the narrow stairwell.
Wen Li's heart skipped a beat. She had planned everything, but she never expected that the explosion would happen inside the building.
Seeing the panicked fans, Wen Li raised her voice: "Don't panic, listen to me, everyone cover your mouths and noses. If you have bottled water with you, wet your sleeves and then cover your noses."
After Wen Li finished speaking, she glanced at the floor and realized that they had unknowingly reached the eighteenth floor.
"Everyone, please be orderly and watch your step. I will make sure you get back to the hotel safely today."
As Wen Li spoke, she led everyone downstairs in an orderly manner. Explosions could be heard from time to time inside the building, and the increasing amount of thick smoke made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.
But the little girl at the front seemed calm and collected, and always managed to soothe everyone just when they were about to break down.
In less than two minutes, everyone finally came down to the lobby on the first floor.
"Finally, we've arrived."
Several girls were about to open the safety door, but after pushing it twice, they found that the door wouldn't open at all.
Looking down through the small glass window of the iron gate, they saw that their only way out was locked with countless keys.
"It's over, it's over, we're going to die here."
In the cramped space, the young fans huddled together and cried, some even starting to send their wills to their parents.
Explosions were still heard around, and the lobby on the first floor was on fire. Everyone was fleeing in panic, and no one had yet discovered that hundreds of people were still trapped in the fire escape.
"Move aside, let me try."
Just when everyone was in despair, a familiar voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the conversation and instinctively made way for them.
Wen Li walked up to the fire escape door and, without any hesitation, kicked it open.
The chains outside rattled loudly, indicating that someone had noticed the commotion, but everyone was too busy escaping to offer any help.
"Little Pear, we've all seen it, there are several locks on the outside..."
Bang bang bang—
As she spoke, Wen Li kicked the iron gate hard again.
With a loud crack, the door was kicked open, leaving a small gap.
Wen Li kicked several locks off.
Fans: ...
Wen Li kicked it a few more times, and the chains finally shattered with a bang, and the door was completely opened.
Wen Li pushed open the door and said to everyone, "Watch your step and come out quickly."
The fans suddenly realized what was happening and ran outside while crying.
When everyone ran outside the building, they looked up and saw that the hundreds-of-meters-tall building was now filled with thick smoke, and countless flames could be seen emerging from the blue transparent glass. Many people were leaning against the windows calling for help.
Fortunately, not long after they ran out, twenty or thirty fire trucks arrived immediately.
While fans were still marveling at her narrow escape, Wen Li had already left and walked to the fire station.
"Little girl, you..."
Wen Li stood in front of a man in his thirties, and the man instinctively asked Wen Li to move aside.
But after saying just two words, Wen Li's calm and collected voice rang out: "I was the one who called the police and initiated the rescue. I am also a survivor who escaped from the 38th floor."
The man, who was in charge of the rescue operation, instinctively asked, "So, what's the situation now?"
"Twenty minutes ago, all the elevators in the building broke down. Ten minutes ago, there was an explosion inside the building. It was not an accidental fire or explosion, but a deliberate act."
"What did you say?" The commander-in-chief's heart skipped a beat.
Before I could ask Wen Li why she was so sure, she continued, "My fans and I came down from the fire escape on the 38th floor and found a bunch of chains and a dozen or so reinforced locks hanging on it. Fire escapes in buildings like this are inspected regularly, so it's impossible for them to be locked on purpose. So, apart from someone doing it on purpose, there's no other possibility. If I'm not mistaken, the other fire escapes may have been locked as well."
The commander-in-chief and the instructor beside him immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
Seeing this, Wen Li quickly said, "This building is now a living hell. Even if you go up there, you won't be able to save more people."
The commander-in-chief, with tears in his eyes, said, "We will save as many as we can; we will never abandon anyone."
“I understand the logic, but currently only the passageways on the 39th floor and the first floor are open. People on the other floors can't get out, and you won't be able to get in anytime soon.”
"So I asked to come upstairs with you."
