Chapter 184: Fire Attack

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Fire Attack

Indeed, peace did not last for two minutes before the outside started to become agitated again.

"What are they doing?"

Zhang Kaiyang did not understand, but the offensive smell that wafted over had everyone extremely tense.

"Is that gasoline? Are they planning to burn us alive?"

Liang Kang’s voice was slightly off-key from breathlessness; if they continued their fire attack, even if they were not burned to death, they would be choked to death.

Jhiang Yuan was also somewhat panicked, as the situation in the corridor was not good.

The two doors here were left by the previous developer, one being the outermost with a protective railing on top.

There was another door, which was once the entrance to Jhiang Yuan’s house. After it was replaced with an explosion-proof door, this one was installed here.

If it were not for the latter door holding up, the former would have likely been kicked out of shape already.

Now facing a fire attack, they were completely helpless.

Even if they retreated to the inside, it would not work; the explosion-proof door could block out most things, but smoke is pervasive.

This time, they were truly in danger.

"What do we do now?"

Jhiang Yuan’s gaze was sharp as she threw the question at Song Yi.

He, after all, had extensive field experience, and she hoped he had a good plan.

"First, let’s open the windows!"

The space in the corridor was too small; even if they rushed out now, it would be extremely dangerous.

They had used gasoline, and since they were wearing a lot of clothes, a moment of carelessness could lead to a real-life case of self-immolation.

Ye Mianmian did not dare to delay, and Liang Kang was very attentive in helping out.

"These two doors are definitely not going to hold, we have to plan ahead!"

As she spoke, smoke had already started to enter from the outside, leaking in from all sides of the door.

Although there were windows open, given enough time, the smoke would surely spill into other areas.

"Don’t worry, let’s go back for now."

Although Song Yi said this, he did not intend to just sit and wait.

"Jhiang Yuan, take the female comrades and cut the beads, then collect all the powder from the firecrackers together."

The beads were strung on a string, each string containing about two to three hundred.

It would also be quite laborious to extract all the powder from inside the firecrackers.

"Alright, follow me..."

Jhiang Yuan said, motioning everyone to enter room 2101 to start preparing.

There were many beads, and she took them all out.

Qin Yue, Ye Mianmian, Fan Qing, and Xiao Ling got busy.

Xiao Nuan looked at Jingjing beside her with curiosity and reached out to hold her hand, "Sister..."

Song Yi instructed Jhiang Xingzhi to keep watch at the door while he took two others back to room 2102.

"Is someone knocking on the door?"

"I’ll check it out."

Qin Yue took the lead and hurried to see who it was.

"This must be Grandma Ye!"

Hearing this, Ye Mianmian rushed over immediately.

"Grandma, why did you come out?"

"I came to help. Mianmian, don’t worry, this old bag of bones is fine, I can help with whatever you need."

Actually, when she was brought upstairs, she was already feeling uneasy inside, knowing that something must have happened.

Just now, everyone had gone out, even the dogs were outside, and she was incredibly anxious.

When Song Yi returned with the others, she hurriedly asked Zhang Kaiyang.

Upon learning that everyone was busy next door, she insisted on coming over, determined to be with her granddaughter even if it meant death.

"Okay, hurry up."

Jhiang Yuan felt that they couldn’t delay Song Yi’s time.

Although she didn’t know exactly what he intended to do, she chose to believe, to believe unconditionally.

The beads here were being handled quickly, but the firecrackers were somewhat troublesome. Fortunately, they had plenty of hands.

Song Yi had already taken some things outside.

Jhiang Yuan also followed outside to see the situation and saw everyone holding quite a few buckets and ropes.

The smoke had become very severe now, and the windows in the stairwell were no longer able to clear it all.

Jhiang Xingzhi wasn’t idle either; he had removed both windowpanes.

"Let’s hurry up. The fire is burning, and the people outside don’t dare to act rashly. We still have time," he said.

"Hmm..."

Song Yi was directing everyone with composed efficiency, when Jhiang Yuan suddenly thought of something and quickly returned to her room.

There were quite a few pieces of furniture in her space, and a number of doors could be used to block this side if possible.

When they breached in, there would be a slight buffer.

Large items were difficult to carry, but those solid wood tables were no problem.

She was afraid of what others would ask and felt frustrated when she suddenly spotted the water guns she had collected from the maternity store before.

Perfect...

Jhiang Yuan quickly went out and her eyes lit up when she saw Qin Yue.

"Mom, where are our chili peppers, the dried ones?"

"In the kitchen. There are some in the attic too. What do you need them for?"

"Mom, hurry and get them for me, the more, the better."

Qin Yue didn’t dare to waste time and quickly went to find them.

They had previously stocked up on plenty of these condiments at home.

Jhiang Yuan started boiling water, preparing to grind the chili peppers into powder.

Qin Yue brought over several packets of chili powder, which made things a lot easier.

After brewing them with hot water, she filled the water guns.

The mother and daughter were happily busy, and in the blink of an eye, they had prepared two buckets-full. Fortunately, they had the habit of stocking up on hot water previously.

Both thermal kettles were put to use, and Jhiang Xingzhi hurried in.

"Is everything ready? They’ve started their attack."

What a speed!

"Yes, it’s all here."

Fan Qing and Ye Mianmian followed to deliver the items, while Jhiang Yuan called Jhiang Xingzhi to help move a computer desk out of the room.

This desk, custom-made during a furniture order, was called a computer desk even though it was much larger.

It had three drawers on each side and was about one and a half meters long.

Jhiang Yuan and Qin Yue carried the buckets out, telling the two little ones to hide in their rooms and not to come out.

Then she signaled everyone to fill the water guns carefully, to avoid injury.

Song Yi was also making final arrangements. The group outside was like madmen, and after a few slams, the door was about to fall off its hinges.

Everything here was almost ready too, the men had retreated, hiding on both sides of the corridor.

The computer desk was placed at the entrance to the stairwell.

"Crash..." The door fell with a sound, and laughter came from outside, "Hahaha!"

"Let’s see how capable you are. Next year on this day, I wonder who will visit your graves, hahaha..."

At the command of the leader wearing camouflage clothing, some people passed through the thick smoke and moved inside.

Considering the events that had just occurred, these few were not careless.

However, their vision was still somewhat obscured.

"Boss, they’ve opened the windows; they probably haven’t been suffocated."

Just as he was speaking, Song Yi suddenly pulled the rope in his hand, and two buckets of water unexpectedly fell from above, drenching two men entering, turning them into drowned rats.
