It turns out that Qian Feihao left immediately after climbing up and escaping danger. No one knows where he went. It is estimated that he was afraid of being caught and retaliated against by Zhang Lingfeng, so escaping was the priority.
After kowtowing three times to Zhao Qiang, Zhang Lingfeng grinned as he got up. He didn't care about the dampness in his crotch; after all, it was nothing compared to his life. He asked Zhao Qiang, "What do we do now?"
Zhao Qiang pointed upwards: "Go to the rooftop and wait for rescue."
Zhang Lingfeng readily agreed, "Alright, from now on you're the big brother and I'll listen to you. After all, you saved my life. From today onwards, you can do whatever you want in Donghai City."
Xu Xiaoya rolled her eyes at Zhang Lingfeng, and Zhao Qiang ignored the rich kid's words. This kind of person doesn't think before he speaks. He can walk around Donghai City with his words. It's no wonder he's dead!
The group continued up the stairs. The fire was quite large in some areas of these floors, but most places were still safe to pass through due to the lack of flammable materials. However, they encountered some trouble when they reached the 32nd floor. The protective netting on this floor had been ignited by the wind. The fire was burning overhead, and the ceiling was not made of fireproof material. It was crackling and falling to the ground as it burned. If you were not careful, you could be hit on the head. Even if you didn't die from the fire, you could still be burned to death.
Xu Xiaoya and Luo Xiaowei stared wide-eyed, wondering how they were going to get through. The passage to the rooftop wasn't connected to this staircase; they had to go through the hall to get there, and the ceiling of the hall was practically a sea of fire.
Zhang Lingfeng cursed, "Damn contractor, they used inferior materials for the ceiling! I'll fucking kill their mother!"
Zhao Qiang glanced around and saw a few broken chairs by the wall. He walked over, picked one up, and tried it on his head. It worked well; with the chairs providing cover, even if flames fell from the ceiling, they shouldn't cause much harm. Zhao Qiang said to the people behind him, "Everyone, put a chair on your head and try to avoid the flames as you rush through."
Luo Wanfeng was the second to pick up a chair, followed closely by Luo Xiaowei. Xu Xiaoya also lifted a chair and tried it on her head. Only Zhang Lingfeng was a little scared. He said anxiously, "Will this work? What if I get burned?"
Xu Xiaoya said without any politeness, "Young Master Zhang, if you're afraid of getting burned, then stay here. We won't keep you company."
Zhang Lingfeng glanced behind him worriedly. Although the fire wasn't big, it would eventually catch up with them. Helpless, he propped up a chair and said, "Let's go. Life and death are in our own hands."
Luo Wanfeng led the way, followed by Luo Xiaowei and Xu Xiaoya, then Zhang Lingfeng, with Zhao Qiang bringing up the rear. He shouted, "Charge!" Luo Wanfeng, carrying a chair on his head, sprinted inside. Luo Xiaowei and Xu Xiaoya followed closely behind. Zhang Lingfeng staggered, having exhausted most of his strength on the scaffolding. Zhao Qiang had no choice but to slow down and follow behind him.
When misfortune strikes, even the heavens seem to mock you. Zhang Lingfeng was the first to be hit by the falling fireball. The fireball landed on the back of the chair and missed his head, but the sparks it sent up burned Zhang Lingfeng's hand, making him scream. He threw the burning chair aside and then jumped around wildly, like a monkey whose tail had been cut off.
At that moment, a second ball of fire struck Zhang Lingfeng's head, but he was completely unaware. Although Zhao Qiang disliked Zhang Lingfeng, he had saved him the first time, so he didn't care about saving him a second time. He raised his chair to shield Zhang Lingfeng's head, blocking the fireball. However, Zhao Qiang also lost his grip on the chair, and the scattered flames burned his hands, causing blisters.
"Run!" Zhao Qiang, who had thrown down the chair and was now completely unprotected, roared at Zhang Lingfeng. If he kept jumping around on the spot, he would be burned to death!
Zhang Lingfeng, in a daze, only knew to rush forward, completely disregarding the danger above him. Another ball of flame fell, aimed directly at Zhang Lingfeng's head. If it hit him, even if it didn't kill him, it would set Zhang Lingfeng's body on fire. Zhao Qiang didn't think much; he had a fireproof and impact-resistant shirt, so he pushed Zhang Lingfeng away without hesitation. At the same time, he covered his head with both hands and pulled it towards his chest. Bang! The flame fell and hit Zhao Qiang's back. Zhao Qiang felt a burning sensation on his neck, but fortunately, his back was protected by the fireproof shirt, so he wasn't seriously injured by the impact.
Luo Wanfeng had already led the two women past the fire zone. Seeing Zhang Lingfeng and Zhao Qiang in danger behind them, he grabbed the chair from Luo Xiaowei's hand without saying a word and ran over. Zhao Qiang took the chair and used it to shield his head. At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. Zhao Qiang grabbed his belt with one hand and pulled him away quickly. Finally, they escaped the fire zone safely.
Seeing Zhao Qiang run out, Xu Xiaoya and Luo Xiaowei rushed over, anxiously checking on him: "How are you? Are you injured or burned?"
Zhao Qiang stretched his arms and legs and said, "I'm fine." His neck and hands were covered in blisters from the fire, but they were disappearing at an amazing speed. Zhao Qiang himself didn't understand what was going on, and he was afraid that Xu Xiaoya and Luo Xiaowei would break them, so he used the movement of his arms and legs to avoid them.
Xu Xiaoya tugged at Zhao Qiang's shirt with some confusion and said, "That's strange, your shirt is fine no matter how much it's burned."
Zhao Qiang covered it up by saying, "The material is good, don't worry about that, let's go up to the roof right away."
Zhang Lingfeng followed behind, dejected, no longer laughing and joking. He had thought that letting Zhao Qiang swagger around Donghai City after saving him the first time was enough of an expression of gratitude, but now he didn't know what to say. At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng began to have some self-awareness. He knew that in Zhao Qiang's eyes he was a burden, in Xu Xiaoya's eyes he was a piece of trash, in Luo Xiaowei's eyes he was a good-for-nothing, and in Luo Wanfeng's eyes he was an idiotic spoiled brat. Therefore, uttering any more of those pointless boastful words would be utterly foolish.
Without any suspense, they climbed to the rooftop. The dozen or so people were still there. Liu Yiyi was still huddled in the cardboard box, clutching Zhao Qiang's laptop bag. When she saw Xu Xiaoya and Luo Xiaowei, she stood up in surprise. The three girls had reunited after going through life and death. Although it had only been a little over an hour, it felt like a lifetime had passed. The three girls hugged each other tightly and cried loudly.
Seeing the three women embracing intimately, Zhang Lingfeng spat disdainfully and squatted down to the side. Zhao Qiang glared at him fiercely when he saw his rude attitude. If Zhang Lingfeng dared to misbehave now, Zhao Qiang would definitely throw him off the building! Anyway, he had already killed two people today, so what if he killed another one!
Seeing that Zhao Qiang was angry, Zhang Lingfeng quickly stood up and explained, "Brother, don't be angry. You don't know, do you? Those three women are gay."
Zhao Qiang was exhausted. He plopped down in the cardboard box and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could they be glass?"
Zhang Lingfeng said, "It's true, brother, I saw it with my own eyes! If I'm lying, I'll make you fall off the building again or get burned again."
Seeing that Zhang Lingfeng didn't seem to be lying, Zhao Qiang asked, "What did you see?"
Zhang Lingfeng crouched down beside Zhao Qiang and whispered, "Before the fire started, the woman with the biggest breasts in the banquet hall was kissing a woman with medium-sized breasts..."
Zhao Qiang gave Zhang Lingfeng a direct punch, "Damn it, speak more politely. The older one is Liu Yiyi, the plump girl is Xu Xiaoya, she's my class monitor, and the one with the long legs is Luo Xiaowei, she's my junior from school. Be polite to them."
Zhang Lingfeng wasn't angry at being punched, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Liu Yiyi and Xu Xiaoya were kissing and hugging each other. You wouldn't believe it, those two big boobs were squeezing their breasts together, their flesh was about to burst out, but I fucking hate those lesbians..."
Zhao Qiang raised his fist: "What do you mean, 'milk tyrant'? Can't you use a more polite word? If you keep being so rude, I'll really beat you up."
Zhang Lingfeng chuckled and changed his tune, saying, "It was breasts. Liu Yiyi and Xu Xiaoya's breasts were pressed together, while their other breasts were being pinched by Luo Xiaowei. You have no idea how lewd the scene was. I was disgusted by it."
Zhao Qiang was stunned and speechless for a long time. Zhang Lingfeng had no reason to lie to him, so how could this be? Liu Yiyi, Xu Xiaoya, and Luo Xiaowei actually liked this kind of thing! What a waste of talent! Hmm, why does it feel so passionate down there? It seems that the erotic scene Zhang Lingfeng described is quite exciting. It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes.
The three girls hugged each other, crying and laughing for a while, before holding hands tightly and crawling into the cardboard box to wait for rescue. Their intimacy made Zhang Lingfeng gag a few times. It seemed that this guy really had a strange fetish and a deep hatred for lesbians.
Zhao Qiang didn't know whether he should believe Zhang Lingfeng's words, but considering that this matter had little to do with him, he closed his eyes and stopped looking and thinking about it. At this moment, Zhao Qiang was still deeply worried about Xiao Wei in the notebook. Regarding his sudden mastery of powerful computational reasoning and trauma repair abilities, Zhao Qiang had a premonition that Xiao Wei must have transplanted a super biochip into his brain!
Volume 2 [116] Madness Before Death
On the rooftop, a male staff member suddenly complained, "Why hasn't anyone come to rescue us yet? The police helicopter should have come to pick us up by now. If this continues, we'll either be burned to death or freeze to death. Are those police officers just sitting around doing nothing?"
It was indeed quite cold up there. After all, it was Christmas time, so the temperature couldn't compare to summer. Fortunately, the floor was warm, so there was some warmth under our butts. Otherwise, with all the clothes we were wearing, no one could stand it.
Boom! A section of the floor on the right suddenly collapsed, and flames shot up into the sky. The nearest female worker was licked by the flames, and flames immediately appeared on her body! The fabric of clothes these days is too flammable.
The snowflakes falling on the ground melted, creating puddles. When the female leader saw someone on fire, she immediately tackled her into a puddle and managed to save her. However, the female staff member's hair was singed, and her face was likely to be disfigured. A beautiful young woman was ruined just like that, in just a few seconds. Water and fire are truly merciless.
Seeing this, everyone quickly backed away. Zhang Lingfeng cursed, "A shoddy construction project is killing people!"
The collapse just now was caused by the floor slabs being unable to withstand the intense heat from the fire below. Judging from the broken pieces, the steel bars inside were as thin as pencils! It truly is a shoddy construction project, a favorite of the Chinese, allowing countless people to rake in huge profits.
Boom! Another section collapsed, this time covering a larger area and right next to the cardboard box area where everyone was taking refuge. The female leader hurriedly told everyone to stay as close to the edge of the roof as possible, where the main wall provided support and it should be safer. Flames rising from the collapsed opening quickly turned the rooftop glowing red! The intense heat was everywhere; even staying close to the retaining wall was unbearable. Just moments before, it felt cold, but now it was unbearably hot.
"We can't stay here!" Luo Wanfeng was sweating profusely from the flames. He tightly shielded his daughter behind him, using his body to create a safe haven for her. Luo Xiaowei hugged her father's waist from behind, her eyes filled with fear as she stared at the towering fire. There was no safe place in the entire building.
Zhang Lingfeng said in a trembling voice, "We can't stay on the roof, but where else can we go? The fire is even fiercer down below."
Xu Xiaoya peeked downstairs and said, "If only we had parachutes, we could parachute downstairs."
Zhang Lingfeng said, "Even if we give you a parachute, do you have any skydiving experience? We're doomed this time."
The continuous collapses and increasingly fierce flames shattered everyone's nascent hope of rescue. The shadow of death filled their hearts. Several girls couldn't bear the atmosphere and began to sob, saying, "I don't want to die! I'm so young! Dad, Mom, where are you? I don't want to be burned to death. The corpses will be so terrifying..."
The sound of crying was contagious, and soon sobbing filled the air. The two male employees, increasingly agitated, began to experience the side effects of the fear of death. Losing their minds, they suddenly roared with ferocious expressions, "Shut up! If you cry again, I'll throw you off the building! You rotten bastards, all you do is cry! You sluts! You whore..."
The female manager was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Seeing that the situation downstairs meant they couldn't reach us in time to provide assistance, and knowing the situation on the roof was dire and they couldn't wait any longer—more sections were collapsing, and the fire was getting closer and closer—she steeled herself and yelled at the two male employees: "Shut up! You grown men, instead of trying to save us, you're yelling at us! If you're so capable, then get us all out of here!"
"Save you? Save you my foot!" The two male employees exchanged a glance, both reading the lustful desire in each other's eyes. Since they were going to die anyway, they couldn't let these women go to waste, especially their mature female boss, whom they had fantasized about countless times. Since death was inevitable, they might as well die in a wild release!
The two men yelled and pounced on the female leader. That's why they say that true gold is tested by fire. Only in this situation can a person's will be tested. Everyone has evil thoughts. Those who can control themselves in an emergency are good people. Those who can't control themselves lose their nature and become beasts.
The female leader was so frightened that she backed up, pressing her body tightly against the wall. Two male staff members held down her arms on either side, then groped her with one hand up and the other down, grinning as they did so. Their expressions, reflected in the fire, looked like demons from hell, which terrified Xu Xiaoya and Luo Xiaowei, who kept retreating behind Luo Wanfeng.
"Let go of me!" The female leader, with a strength she seemed to possess from nowhere, shoved a male employee against the wall. The wall, which looked very tall but was actually quite flimsy, collapsed outwards with a crash after the male employee hit it. The male employee, unable to stop himself from being pushed by the female leader, fell with the collapsing wall! On the 32nd floor, he would definitely be dead upon landing.
Bang! Luo Wanfeng knocked another crazed male employee unconscious with a wooden plank. The space here was too cramped. If he continued to harass the female leader, he might push others down the stairs. Besides, it was not Luo Wanfeng's style to stand by and watch someone die. He could not bear to see the female leader being humiliated.
Zhang Lingfeng remained indifferent. Fire raged everywhere, and the landslide continued. Although he had twice narrowly escaped death, he ultimately succumbed to its clutches. But Zhang Lingfeng didn't want to die. He had so many things left undone, so many women waiting for him to ravage, and so much revenge to be taken from that scoundrel Qian Feihao! He couldn't die, he couldn't die! Zhang Lingfeng fiercely told himself. Right, what about that powerful, capable man? Would he be able to escape now?
Zhang Lingfeng had no choice but to place all his hopes on Zhao Qiang. He looked around in the firelight, searching for Zhao Qiang's shadow, but instead of finding Zhao Qiang, he unexpectedly spotted Qian Feihao! Yes, it was him, there was no doubt about it. He was wearing a woman's coat, which he didn't know where he had stolen from or which staff member he had taken from. He was frantically circling around the protective wall, probably trying to find a way to escape. If he was trapped up there, he would soon become a roast suckling pig.
Upon meeting his enemy, Zhang Lingfeng forgot the impending danger and, determined to take someone down with him, yelled and lunged at Qian Feihao. Caught off guard, Qian Feihao was tackled to the ground by Zhang Lingfeng, and the two began to wrestle on the dilapidated rooftop. Initially, Qian Feihao was at a disadvantage due to his lack of preparation, but as a sports student, he was far more skilled than Zhang Lingfeng. As a result, Zhang Lingfeng was quickly pinned down by Qian Feihao, who rained down punches on him.
While hitting Qian Feihao, he cursed loudly: "Damn it, you think I'm a pushover just because I'm not going to show my power? Anyway, I'm not going to live, so it's worth it to have a scumbag like you go to hell with me!" Qian Feihao was almost insane, beating Zhang Lingfeng until he spat blood from his mouth. At this point, everyone was crazy.
"Stop! Stop!" Zhang Lingfeng shouted. Qian Feihao's fist remained raised in mid-air, and he said, "What do you want to say? If I don't beat you to death today, you'll definitely take revenge on me later! So you're going to die whether you like it or not!"
"Pah!" Zhang Lingfeng spat blood all over Qian Feihao's face and cursed, "What I wanted to say was that your mom is calling you home for dinner..."
Zhang Lingfeng didn't finish his last few words because Qian Feihao's fist came down again. Dizzy from the beating, Zhang Lingfeng fumbled around on the ground and somehow managed to grab a scalding hot piece of cement. He picked it up and smashed it into Qian Feihao's face. Qian Feihao yelled and was knocked off Zhang Lingfeng. However, he wasn't going to take it lying down; he grabbed a piece of cement and started fighting back. The two fought fiercely, even knocking down a makeshift house on the roof! Inside were tools used for cleaning the building.
What was Zhao Qiang doing on the rooftop when things were in such a mess? He was leisurely standing by the railing, waving his hand in the cold wind, muttering something to himself, and occasionally touching the right temple of his glasses while looking at the office building across the street.
Xu Xiaoya, Luo Xiaowei, Liu Yiyi, and Luo Wanfeng stared at him dumbfounded. Zhao Qiang's performance tonight shocked the four of them. Considering that they might not live much longer, Xu Xiaoya, Luo Xiaowei, and Liu Yiyi searched everywhere for Zhao Qiang. But when they found him, what was he doing? Was he trying to test the wind direction and speed to fly into the sky? Without wings, that was simply impossible!

Volume 2 [117] Jump!
With a bang, Zhao Qiang kicked down a section of the retaining wall, not caring who it might hit. Standing in front of the collapsed wall, he saw another office building about a hundred meters away. Zhao Qiang smiled at the building, then measured along the wall, finally stopping by a fire pit and shaking his head. The pit wasn't big, but he definitely couldn't step over it in one stride. Zhao Qiang moved a few unburnt planks to the side, which fit perfectly, but they would catch fire soon. So Zhao Qiang quickened his pace, searching through the makeshift house that Zhang Lingfeng and Qian Feihao had crashed into, finally emerging with several bundles of rope.
The bundles of rope varied in thickness. The thick ones, as thick as tennis racket handles, were presumably used to lift workbenches for cleaning the building and had immense load-bearing capacity. The thinner ones were nylon ropes, like chopsticks. Zhao Qiang tied one end of the thick rope to the still intact cooling tower, making sure it wouldn't come loose, and then tied the other end tightly with the thin nylon rope. He then joined the two bundles of thin nylon rope together, slinging one bundle over each shoulder.
Zhang Lingfeng and Qian Feihao were still fighting, but no one paid attention to them. Everyone's eyes were on Zhao Qiang, who was behaving strangely. The female leader asked Luo Wanfeng in confusion, "What is he trying to do? There is still a fire downstairs. If he climbs down the rope, he is very likely to burn the rope and fall to his death. Besides, we may not be able to hold out here long enough for everyone to climb down to the bottom."
Xu Xiaoya's stomach ached with tension. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't make a sound. Zhao Qiang will definitely find a way to escape." At this moment, there were hardly any unburned spots on the roof, and what was even more dangerous was that collapses could occur from time to time. The situation was urgent.
Zhao Qiang took two deep breaths. His head was throbbing with pain, a consequence of the intense calculations he had just performed. Although Xiao Wei hadn't confirmed it, he was fairly certain that after Zhang Chunjiang pierced his brain, Xiao Wei had used her reserve energy to transplant a super biochip into him. This explained why he could quickly calculate each step and reach the rooftop, and why he could break down a fast and complex action as if it were in slow motion. His brain was different now; there was a CPU inside assisting him with memory and computation. However, he didn't know if it was due to insufficient energy during the transplant or if the super biochip needed improvement, but if Zhao Qiang overdid it, he would get a headache. Fortunately, it would subside after a short rest, like cooling a CPU. Could it be that he would need to add a fan to his brain in the future?
“Uncle Luo,” Zhao Qiang said to Luo Wanfeng, “I’m going to the building across the street to pull the thin nylon rope. You need to make sure the thick cable is successfully laid between the two buildings.”
Luo Wanfeng was startled: "What did you say?"
Xu Xiaoya's face turned pale: "You want to jump to the building across the street? Are you crazy!"
Luo Xiaowei cried out, "No! It's too far, that's suicide!"
Liu Yiyi didn't say anything. Among these people, she was the only one who had witnessed Zhao Qiang's resurrection. She had a strange trust in Zhao Qiang. Since Zhao Qiang dared to do this, he must be confident!
Zhao Qiang didn't have time for nonsense and said directly, "You can use your clothes or ropes to tie a pulley and slide to the other side. Boss Liu has a leg problem, so Uncle Luo, I'll leave her to you."
Luo Wanfeng wanted to persuade Zhao Qiang, but seeing that he had already turned around and stepped onto the burning wooden plank facing downwards, Luo Wanfeng wisely shut his mouth. Luo Xiaowei and Xu Xiaoya wanted to persuade Zhao Qiang not to do anything foolish, but Luo Wanfeng raised his hand to stop them from speaking: "Don't distract Zhao Qiang. Whether he lives or dies depends on him. Otherwise, who else can do it?"
Zhao Qiang struck what he thought was a cool starting stance. No one fired the starting gun. He mentally shouted to himself, pushing his running shoes to maximum power. Crack! The thick wooden plank over the pit snapped with the force of his kick. His running shoes slammed heavily onto the floorboards, and two sections of the floorboards collapsed under the sudden pressure. People watching screamed in disbelief. At the same time, everyone felt a gust of wind as Zhao Qiang swept past. Two people even lost their balance and nearly fell.
Zhao Qiang had already calculated exactly how many centimeters to take each step and where to start when he reached the wall. This was the advantage of combining human brain and machine. The human brain has emotions and creativity, while the machine faithfully executes instructions without allowing any mistakes and will never be affected by emotions or external factors. This combination is why Zhao Qiang dared to be so crazy!
"Ah!" Zhao Qiang roared and charged off the rooftop. His running shoes used up all their energy during the jump, and Zhao Qiang's body shot out like a cannonball. Luo Xiaowei and Xu Xiaoya's mouths were agape, and the female leader's eyes widened: "Wow, Superman!" At that moment, Zhao Qiang was only wearing a pair of shorts, and he really did look like one.
Zhao Qiang's loud shout as he jumped startled Qian Feihao and Zhang Lingfeng awake. Qian Feihao stared blankly as a figure shot towards the opposite building, while Zhang Lingfeng, who was beaten beyond recognition, still chimed in, "Damn it, Bull Demon King, come out and see God with your wife!"
The running shoes' bounce was indeed amazing, but crossing nearly a hundred meters was still unrealistic. However, Zhao Qiang calculated the assist from the headwind and the parabolic descent, predicting he should land on the 22nd floor. Sure enough, Zhao Qiang crashed into the 22nd-floor window with his shoulder, landing heavily on the ground covered in shards of glass. Zhao Qiang felt injured all over! Glass shards covered his thighs! His internal organs seemed to have shifted as well. Fortunately, he was protected by his three-proof shirt, otherwise the landing would definitely have killed him! In critical moments, every repair tool is a lifesaver.
Zhao Qiang scrambled to his feet, spitting out blood. His hands were covered in shards of glass, but thankfully his shirt protected his chest. He quickly pulled out a few larger pieces of glass and began pulling the nylon rope back. On the other side, Luo Wanfeng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had held their breath the moment Zhao Qiang jumped. Even when Zhao Qiang successfully leaped across the distance between the two high-rise buildings and crashed into the opposite building, they still dared not relax. With such a strong impact, wouldn't he die from the fall? Only when they saw Zhao Qiang stick his head out and start pulling the rope back did everyone cheer loudly.
Luo Wanfeng waved his hand and ordered, "Everyone, come and help! At the same time, each of you find a suitable rope and make a zipline. We'll be rescued soon!"
Qian Feihao had already left Zhang Lingfeng's body. He searched around in the fire for an iron rod, then bent it into a hook by wedging it in a crack in the cement. After Zhao Qiang used a thin nylon rope to transfer the thick rope over and tied it tightly, Qian Feihao was the first to hook up and slide down, saying, "I'll test how strong the rope is for you all!"
Zhao Qiang's room contained a large filing cabinet. He propped the cabinet against the window, and a thick rope was entangled around it. Qian Feihao slid down with a whoosh. Zhao Qiang was supposed to catch him, but seeing Qian Feihao rushing to escape again, he withdrew his hand and stepped aside. Qian Feihao, in mid-air, couldn't stop and crashed into the filing cabinet with a scream. He collapsed instantly, blood streaming from his forehead; the impact was severe. There was a ten-story drop between the two points, and the descent was extremely fast; without someone to help, it would have been disastrous.
Then, some people used clothes to hang on the ropes, and others used iron pipes as hooks. All of them who came down were female hotel staff. No one was as shameless as Qian Feihao anymore. After Zhao Qiang caught the first few people, they took over the job of greeting them. At this moment, everyone had hope of survival and was particularly united. Every time someone came over, they tried their best to hold on to prevent them from bumping into the filing cabinet. The people on the other side were quickly and continuously being passed over to this side.
Finally, Luo Xiaowei arrived. As soon as she touched the ground, she ignored her fear from the zipline and immediately ran to Zhao Qiang's side: "Zhao Qiang, you're injured!"
Zhao Qiang lay on the ground like a dead fish. Although his protective shirt had shielded him from most of the impact, the intense shock of landing must have caused internal organ damage. Coupled with the relaxation after escaping, Zhao Qiang really wanted to sleep forever. He had a headache, probably a result of calculating too much earlier; he was hungry, perhaps due to insufficient energy from the strenuous physical activity. He didn't care much about the shards of glass on his body.
Xu Xiaoya also came over. Her face was pale, from the fright she felt while zipping along the zipline. She had even vomited at one point. Fortunately, her body was tied to the hooks, otherwise she would have been scared into letting go. She squatted down next to Zhao Qiang with tears streaming down her face. The building was brightly lit, and by the light, Xu Xiaoya slowly pulled the glass shards out of Zhao Qiang's thigh. She sobbed as she pulled out each shard, as if the glass shards were embedded in her own body.
Firefighters downstairs discovered the rope, and soon a large crowd surged onto the opposite office building—reporters, doctors, firefighters, government officials—creating a chaotic scene. Before being carried away, Zhao Qiang saw Luo Wanfeng and Zhang Lingfeng carrying Liu Yiyi across the street with a rope. Liu Yiyi was still tightly clutching his laptop bag. Relieved, Zhao Qiang lay down on the stretcher and closed his eyes. This repair work almost cost him his life!
