Epoch of Twilight

When the fire broke out, it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon. Luo Yuan was preparing to have dinner when he smelled a faint puff of smoke. Before he could react, there was a loud explosion from downstairs.

The whole building trembled violently like an earthquake, and dust fell from the ceiling, staining the food on the table with a layer of plaster.

Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi were so frightened that they dropped their chopsticks to the ground, their faces looked horrified!

"What happened outside?" Huang Jiahui said a little unsteadily.

"I'll go and have a look!" Luo Yuan said as he opened the door. Before he reached the stairs, he saw a heat wave with thick smoke rising from the downstairs, and there were faint red flames flying inside. Look at the explosion just now , Presumably the gas pipe has also ruptured.

He was choking and coughing again and again, and hurried back to close the door.

Looking at Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi, who already showed panic on their faces, his expression was ugly: "The downstairs is on fire. I'm afraid the whole building will be on fire in a short while. You can't live here. Come with me."

"Ah, why is it on fire? Who is so vicious!" Huang Jiahui stood up bewildered, "I'm going to get my clothes and luggage!"

"Hurry up, the fire is almost reaching the third floor." Luo Yuan said anxiously.

"Ah!" Wang Shishi and Huang Jiahui were sweating anxiously, and hurried to the bedroom.

Luo Yuan turned around anxiously, then walked to the window, smashed the glass window, then quickly walked into the storage room, grabbed a bag of rice, and threw it through the window. He threw two bags, feeling the heat wave outside The temperature was getting higher and higher, so he stopped decisively.

He walked into Wang Shishi's bedroom and saw that she was still packing her clothes: "Don't waste time, go get a quilt, cover your head, and come downstairs with me."

After Luo Yuan finished speaking, without waiting for Wang Shishi to respond, he walked into his bedroom and gave the same instructions to Huang Jiahui who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Huang Jiahui reluctantly put down the things in her hands, picked up the quilt, suddenly stopped her hands, and asked with concern: "What about you?"

Because of the hot weather, each bedroom also prepared a thin quilt and gave it to Huang Jiahui, which meant that Luo Yuan could only face the flames.

"I'm an evolutionary, these flames can't hurt me yet."

Because time was running out, Luo Yuan couldn't care less about shocking the world, his body seemed to turn into countless afterimages for a moment, and he put some important things into sacks one by one, and held them in his hands.

Huang Jiahui was stunned when she saw Luo Yuan's abnormal speed.

"Hurry up?" Luo Yuan glared at her, pulled Huang Jiahui up and ran outside.

Walking to the door, Wang Shishi also came out with the quilt in panic. At this time, the smoke in the room was already thick, and there was a choking smell in the air, straight to the throat.

Several people rushed to the door, and as soon as they opened the door, a wave of heat mixed with thick smoke rushed towards them, choking and suffocating.

"Ahem, what to do, what to do? I can't get down!" Huang Jiahui said with a look of horror.

The most important hazard of fire to life is not the high temperature, but the toxic smoke it emits is the most deadly. Most of the victims died from the gas, not the flames.

In such a situation, it is impossible to go downstairs. With Luo Yuan's speed and physique, he can guarantee that he will come out alive, but Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi are hard to say. I am afraid that they will be suffocated by the smoke before halfway.

Luo Yuan was impatient, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked Wang Shishi, "Can your mind force push the smoke away?"

"Brother Luo, let me try!" Wang Shishi raised his head and said, coughing and crying.

With so many days of training, Wang Shishi has almost become her instinct to manipulate mind power, as flexible as manipulating her hands and feet. As soon as she thought about it, the smoke around her seemed to be swept away by an invisible force, fluctuating like water ripples , The next moment, the thick white smoke around was slowly discharged, the inside and outside were clearly separated, and an invisible barrier seemed to be formed in the middle.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well done!" Luo Yuan praised.

Seeing that he could help Brother Luo, Wang Shishi chin chin slightly, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help revealing a smug smile.

"Let's go down and see, Nianli can force back the smoke, so it should also be able to force back the flames?" Luo Yuan said.

A few people walked quickly towards the second floor. The upper half of the stairs was still full of thick smoke, but as soon as they passed the corner, a raging flame rushed up. If Wang Shishi hadn't been maintaining the state of mind power, the three of them might have It has become a human torch.

However, the flame can be forced back, but the temperature can't do anything about it. Under the high temperature of hundreds of degrees Celsius, the three people's hair quickly curled and turned yellow.

The three retreated to the third floor.

"The temperature is too high, you can't go down at all?" Huang Jiahui touched her pretty face that was flushed from the heat, and said in despair.

"If you don't go down, you have to go down. I'm afraid the gas pipe will explode later?" Luo Yuan said with a little irritability in his heart: "This is the only way now, master, give me the quilt."

Wang Shishi has complicated feelings for Luo Yuan, he feels like an elder brother, and he is always loved and cared for. She was also in the age of spring, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, she had long had a strange reverie about him. Sometimes my mind can't help but become Sister Huang, and put on embarrassing scenes with my brother. No matter what kind of scene, I already trust him to the bottom of my heart. Even if I am sold at this time, I am afraid that I will count the money with a smile. He had no other thoughts about Luo Yuan's words, so he handed them over directly.

Luo Yuan took Wang Shishi's quilt, then wrapped her up in layers, picked her up and held her in his hands.

Wang Shishi screamed in fright, her body was in contact with Luo Yuan, even through the quilt, it made her little face flush, the face that was already scalded red, now it was so red that it was about to bleed. He completely forgot about the dangers outside, and got bored in the bed, acting like an ostrich.

Next, Luo Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and just snatched Huang Jiahui's quilt, wrapped it up and carried it on his shoulder amidst the other party's groaning protests.

"Quick, let me go!" Huang Jiahui seemed to hit the soft spot in her heart hard, and choked up, "You can't carry it on your back, you can take Wang Shishi down, and leave me alone."

"shut up."

"Master Wang, avoid the smoke and flames, I'm going to start running," Luo Yuan said.

"Understood, Brother Luo, Shishi is ready." Wang Shishi's whole body suddenly softened like noodles, and he came back to his senses and said coquettishly, with a sweet voice.

Luo Yuan took a deep breath, stomped hard, and rushed down the stairs.

Neither of them is obese, and their combined weight is less than 100 kilograms. It is not difficult for him to carry it on his back, but his body has become extremely heavy because of it. He stepped over four or five steps, and when his feet landed, he made a dull sound, which made people worry that the stairs would collapse because of this.

"Teacher, pay attention!" Luo Yuan reminded when he was about to reach the second floor.

"Oh!" Wang Shishi understood, and exerted all his mind power. The surrounding flames seemed to be inexplicably frightened, and they retreated one after another. Even some gravel and dust were quickly swept away.

At this time, the second floor had been burnt to a puddle, the walls were cracked, and a twisted heat wave surged in the air. The temperature here had already exceeded 100 degrees Celsius, especially the marble-paved floor. It became charred black and soft under the barbecue, exuding a faint blue smoke. When he stepped on it, he shattered one after another. If his shoes were not already blue-level equipment, they might have melted a long time ago.

But the shoes and clothes can protect against the high temperature, but the body can't. His hair all over his body curls quickly under the high temperature, and his skin is burning and painful. He didn't dare to breathe at all along the way. Once such high-temperature air was inhaled into his mouth, his entire lungs would be scalded.

He ran desperately, because of the drag of the two of them, his speed was similar to that of ordinary people when sprinting, but running from the third floor to the first floor was only such a short distance, and it took Luo Yuan more than ten seconds to reach the ground floor.

He put down Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi, gasping for breath.

The two of them broke free from the quilt, their pretty faces flushed, and then they looked at Luo Yuan, who was scalded like a boiled crab with a look of distress. Huang Jiahui was okay, she just looked at it with reservation and regret. Wang Shishi, on the other hand, raised his foot and kissed him on the face very boldly, and said softly: "Brother Luo, just now Shishi was afraid of death!"

"Aren't you burnt?" Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and asked.

"No!" Wang Shishi hurriedly replied.

She looked at Luo Yuan watery, as if she couldn't get enough of it. His heart was beating like a deer, his pretty face was blushing, and he thought excitedly: I have finally kissed, but unfortunately I wanted to kiss at first, but I was not bold enough at the last moment, I can’t go on like this, Brother Luo also has his own You can't just give it to sister Huang.

Huang Jiahui looked at Wang Shishi appreciatively, feeling a little uncomfortable, but at this time, it's hard to say anything.

"Then let's go, find a place to live first?" Luo Yuan said.

"Where are you going to live?" Huang Jiahui asked suspiciously.

"Anywhere!" Luo Yuan looked at the nearby residential buildings.

"You mean other buildings, what if others don't agree?" Huang Jiahui worried.

"They will agree!" Luo Yuan took out the saber knife from the bag, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Help me carry the bag, let's go, go over there first, I just threw down two bags Food, after finding a place to live, should last for a few days."

Humans and nature are in a battle of ebb and flow. The silence of the city gives plants a rare opportunity to develop in this green forbidden land. In just ten days or so, the long-lost greenery covered the deserted city again.

I saw a green area in the community, and the weeds had grown to a height of more than one meter. Among them were a few solitary saplings, standing out from the crowd among the weeds, stretching freely like canopy branches, vying for the ownership of the sky. Unknown vines continued to extend upwards along a building in front, trapping the building tightly, as if covered with a green coat.

Luo Yuan walked to the right side of the building and found that the two bags of rice he dropped had disappeared. He glanced left and right, and saw four guys in raincoats not far away, two of whom were holding a bag of rice, walking towards a residential building not far away.
