Chapter 216

Lena's action exceeded the expectation of the butcher's owner. He thought that Lena was just an ordinary student who had never seen the world in the school, but he didn't expect that the other party should use magic so decisively. He had some helplessness. He just wanted to try to attack the other party first. If he found that it was a soft persimmon, he would make a good stroke, but he didn't expect that Lena would be more difficult to deal with than he thought Many.

"Er, let me see..."

in order to do business, the owner of the butcher shop learned to read and write for a period of time and could barely understand the words. However, when he saw the address in Lena's hand, he still showed a surprised expression.

"You... Why are you looking for a place?"

The boss asked, which made Lena more curious, why such a fierce guy would show that kind of fear expression after seeing the address.

"You lead the way."

Lena's kitchen knife moved slightly forward, which made the bald boss's face livid. He nodded silently, then took off his apron and walked out of the shop.

As soon as he walked out of the door, a few gangsters gathered just now wanted to get together. However, after noticing more than a dozen kitchen knives hovering around the bald boss, these brave young people were silent.

"Tell me, how much do you know about this place?"

Lena walked leisurely, asking the bald boss.

"It used to be a slum. Even in Engels street, it was also the lowest corner. There were losers who didn't dare to commit crimes. Almost every day, maggots and dead bodies were carried out of the building, and even wild dogs didn't want to get close to it."

The boss said slowly, his pronunciation is a little strange, not like a local.

"But a few years ago, there was a change. I don't know why, the people there began to become positive, which contrasted with this abandoned street. In fact, I used to live there for a while, and then I made a little money and opened my own shop."

Along the way, Lena saw that the young people on the roadside were like walking dead, with no light in their eyes. Living in such a street, it's no wonder that Mrs. Leisha would say that cyris didn't want to go home.

"But you may not have come at the right time."

Said the boss, who suddenly stopped and pointed to the front.

"That's what you're looking for, 220 Engels street, Belem's apartment."

Lena followed the boss's fingers, but what he saw was not the imaginary building.

It was a ruin.

It can be seen from the wreckage that there used to be a small three story building, but a big fire has destroyed it. The blackened pillars give off a stench. Under the fallen walls, many people's homes are buried.

The passers-by did not look here, numb, as if there was no change here.

"It's too hot recently. It hasn't rained for a month. Most of the houses here are made of wood. It's easy to catch fire in this environment."

Said the boss with a sigh.

"The reason may be that a group of young people get together to smoke. They recently got a kind of special gadget. It's said that it's very exciting to smoke. We who live in Engels street for a long time are not interested in these things. Those young people like it. In order to avoid the sheriff, they hid to smoke. As a result, the cigarette end fell in the corner and finally became a fire."

Lena was silent. He looked at the address on the paper again. It was really the Belem apartment, 220 Engels street.

"When did it happen?"

Lena saw that the ruins did not look like they had been abandoned for a long time. There was even a burning smell in the air. He guessed that the fire happened recently.

"Last night."

However, the bald boss's answer was unexpected. Unexpectedly, the day before he came, such a disaster happened here.

"It was late at night when the fire was found, and it lasted all night and didn't go out until the morning."

Bald boss said, tone of voice with unspeakable helplessness.

"The people who live here..."

Lena thought of the worst and looked at the blackened ruins, he asked.

"This is the most incredible place."

However, the boss's answer was unexpected.

"Although it was late at night at that time, someone woke everyone up. In a short time, most of them evacuated their apartments. Only a few people were smoked or burned. It was a miracle that no one died in the whole apartment."

"No one died?"

Lena felt incredible that even the well-trained soldiers could not retreat without any preparation, but the result of the fire was indeed a miracle.

"Yes, last night was really breathtaking. When the last person escaped, the door of the apartment just collapsed. If it was a few minutes later, there might be a dead person."It's as if everything happened last night, the bald boss said.

"Where are the original residents here, do you know?"

Asked, Lena has already put down the knife, although the bald boss looks fierce, but the accident is a very straightforward guy, Lena also has no need to intimidate him.

"Most of them go to the public hospital nearby, Baifan hospital, just two blocks away."

The bald boss replied. He touched his head and looked at the ruins.

"Do you know Cyrus oldman?"

Asked Lena casually.

Unexpectedly, the bald boss heard the name, but some did not stop and stepped back.

"You, where do you know the name from?"

There was a little confusion in his eyes and he was staring at Lena.

"What's the matter? You know Cyrus oldman. What happened to him?"

He had a hunch that the answer he had been looking for was close at hand.

"He... Has passed away."

The bald boss replied with hesitation in his tone.

"Cyrus oldman died five years ago. He was not in good health at first, but later he didn't know how to get weaker. After a month of treatment in bed, he finally left."

"What? Is he dead? "

Lena felt a thump in his heart. He felt that everything he had learned was like a whirlpool, trying to absorb everything.

"Does he have any family members, or something left behind..."

he subconsciously took a look at the burnt earth apartment. Even if there are relics, they may have been lost in the past few years.

But the bald boss's words, let Lena break free from the dark vortex, see a little hope.

"His mother suffered serious burns last night and was being treated in Baifan Hospital... Hey, wait a minute..."

before the bald boss finished speaking, he saw Lena running away and disappeared at the corner in a flash.
