Chapter 286 Danger of Riot
The captain knew that what Qi Tongwei said made sense, but they had no better solution now.
"We can only try. It's better than nothing." said the captain.
Although Qi Tongwei still felt that it was unreliable, he had no better solution and could only accept the captain's suggestion reluctantly.
They began to smash the empty wine bottles and collect the pieces.
During this process, Qi Tongwei kept complaining that the captain did not prepare weapons.
"Captain, as a policeman, how can you be so unprofessional? You didn't even prepare a weapon. Now we are in such a dangerous situation, what should we do?" Qi Tongwei's tone was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction.
The captain also felt helpless, he knew that he was indeed a little negligent this time.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen. I will be more careful next time," said the captain.
While collecting the fragments of empty wine bottles, they discussed their next plan.
Qi Tongwei believes that they should find real weapons as soon as possible, otherwise they will not be able to fight against those evil elements.
The captain thought that they could first use the fragments of the empty wine bottles to find an opportunity to escape, and then find a way to find weapons.
Their opinions diverged and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Qi Tongwei thought the captain's idea was too risky, while the captain thought Qi Tongwei's request was unrealistic.
"Qi Tongwei, we have no other choice now.
The only way is to use the fragments of empty wine bottles and look for an opportunity to escape.
Then we will try to find weapons." said the captain.
Qi Tongwei disagreed with the captain's point of view, "Captain, you are playing with our lives.
These pieces of empty bottles are of no use at all. We must find real weapons to have a chance of survival."
They argued for a long time but ultimately could not reach a consensus.
Time passed by minute by minute as they argued, and the situation outside became more and more critical.
Just when they were at a stalemate, they suddenly heard footsteps.
They immediately became alert, holding the broken pieces of empty wine bottles tightly in their hands.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and their hearts were in their throats.
They didn't know whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend, so they could only wait nervously.
Finally, a figure appeared in their sight.
However, this person is not the friend they expected, but a very dangerous guy.
He wore a black mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
He was holding a gas tank in his hand, and the cold metal gave off a chilling smell in the dim light.
The captain and Qi Tongwei realized the danger instantly and they instinctively wanted to avoid it.
But before they could react, the dangerous guy threw the gas tank into the captain's room without hesitation.
The gas tank drew an arc in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion sounded.
The enormous power seemed to tear the entire world apart.
The strong shock wave spread out instantly, and the whole house was blown to pieces in an instant.
Walls collapsed, furniture was shattered, and debris flew everywhere.
The captain and Qi Tongwei were dizzy from the sudden explosion. They felt as if they were in a nightmare.
The flames generated by the explosion spread rapidly, and the entire room was engulfed in fire in an instant.
The smoke was so thick that it was almost impossible to breathe.
The captain and Qi Tongwei tried hard to stay awake in the chaos. They knew they had to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
At the critical moment of life and death, the captain did not hesitate at all.
He saw that the window was their only escape route, so he pulled Qi Tongwei up and rushed towards the window.
They broke open the window with force and jumped down without hesitation.
The moment he jumped from the building, the captain's heart was filled with fear and despair.
He didn't know whether he and Qi Tongwei could survive, but they had no other choice.
Fortunately, the floor they were on was only the third floor.
Although jumping from such a high place is still very dangerous, they tried their best to adjust their posture and reduce the impact force at the moment of landing.
They fell heavily to the ground, and there was a sharp pain in their bodies.
But they ignored the pain and immediately got up and checked their injuries.
Fortunately, they only suffered some minor injuries and were not seriously hurt.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they realized that the situation around them was still extremely critical.
The fire caused by the explosion has begun to spread to the surrounding areas, and nearby residents are fleeing in panic.
The captain and Qi Tongwei knew that they couldn't stay here for too long.
They must find a safe place as soon as possible and then think of ways to deal with the danger that follows.
They endured the pain and started running away from the fire.
While running, they kept looking back to observe the situation behind them, fearing that the dangerous guy would catch up with them again.
Along the way, they saw many scenes destroyed by explosions and fires.
Houses collapsed, vehicles burned, and people's cries and calls for help were heard one after another.
All this made them feel particularly heavy-hearted, as they knew that this disaster had brought great pain and loss to people.
Qi Tongwei stared at the tragic scene in front of him, feeling an indescribable fear in his heart.
He never thought that simply because of saving Chen Yang's life and offending the warlord on the Myanmar border would lead to such terrible consequences.
Those disaster scenes that he had only seen in movies were now presented before his eyes, shocking him greatly.
"This... this is too terrible." Qi Tongwei's voice trembled slightly, "We just wanted to do the right thing, why did it turn out like this?" His eyes were full of confusion and pain, as if questioning the injustice of fate.
The captain was also shocked by the scene before him, and his mind was in a mess.
He never imagined that the disaster not only affected their room, but also the surrounding houses were blown into a mess.
He looked at the collapsed houses and injured people, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been involved in this matter in the first place, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened." The captain's voice was low and hoarse, "Now, what should we do?" There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, as if he was seeking an answer.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“Captain, now is not the time to blame yourself.
We have to find a way to solve this problem before more people get hurt.”
