Chapter 858: 858 Accident
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tian Tian didn’t sleep well last night. She had been feeling sleepy during class this morning. She swayed left and right, like a sleepless cat.
Li Li thought she was cute, so she secretly took out her phone to take a photo of Tian Tian. Suddenly, a loud explosion woke up all the sleepy students, and the teaching building shook a few times.
Another explosion followed, louder than the first.
“What happened?” The students panicked. “Is it an earthquake?”
The old professor on the podium quickly asked the students to squat under the table. If there was really an earthquake, they would not be able to escape.
After a few minutes, the old professor saw that there were no more explosions, so he quickly evacuated the students to the square outside to prevent another accident.
“What’s that? It seems to be smoke over there!” A sharp-eyed student noticed the black smoke from the building in the distance.” Is there a fire in the school’s research building?”
Tan Ron’s heart tightened when she saw the thick smoke. Jiang Min and the others had an experiment this morning. At this time, they must be in the laboratory.
At the thought of this, Tan Ron quickly ran back to the classroom to get her things. She had to see if there was anything she could help with.
“Li Li, Tiantian, 1 need to go to the research building now. Senior and the others have an experiment today. I’m worried that something will happen to them. When the professor asks about me later, just say that 1 went to the toilet,” Tan Rou instructed.
Li Li was very worried about her. “The explosion just now must have come from there. It will be very dangerous for you to go there now.”
“It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that I want to go over. If senior sister and the others are fine, I’ll be back immediately.”
“Let’s go together. If there’s anything you need help with, we can help too,” said Xu Yan.
Tan Rou thought for a moment and then said, “Okay, you guys have to be careful.”
They arrived at the research building. There were many students and teachers gathered downstairs. Some ran down from upstairs, and some rushed over to help after hearing the explosion.
The originally snow-white wall was now blackened by smoke. Moreover, it could be clearly seen that the source of the explosion was on the fifth floor.
Based on the location of the black smoke, Tan Rou determined that it was Hu Cheng’s laboratory. They were some distance away from the laboratory and Jiang Min’s group. However, such a large-scale explosion would definitely affect Jiang Min’s group.
“I have to go up and take a look.” Tan Rou said.
“We don’t know if it will explode again,” Li Li said. “We can’t go up.”
Tan Rou clenched her fists. “I’ll be careful.”
Xu Yan was calmer. He said, “Even if there won’t be an explosion up there, there will be thick smoke. You can’t just go up like this.”
Tan Rou raised her head. Jiang Min and the others didn’t come down, which meant that they were injured. If they waited for the firefighters and doctors to arrive, Jiang Min and the others might miss the best time to rescue them.
“Help…” A weak cry for help came from the fifth floor. The long-haired girl struggled to look down the wall. “Help…”
Tan Rou recognized that it was Jiang Min. “Senior Sister Jiang!” She ignored the objections of the others and rushed up the stairs.
Seeing this, Xu Yan immediately dragged Lu Qing along. “Let’s go up and take a look too!” He instructed Li Li and the others, “You guys stay down there and observe the situation. Don’t go up easily!”
Li Li’s eyes reddened. “You have to come back safely!”
Jiang Min’s laboratory was at the very edge, so the impact was smaller than the other laboratories, but they were also injured, especially Shang Jin. She had just come back from the toilet when she encountered an explosion. Without any doors or windows to cover her, she was immediately sent flying by the shock wave of the explosion.
Jiang Min wasn’t seriously injured. She just breathed in too much smoke and didn’t have much strength.
Lang Yue was in a worse state. When the explosion happened, he and Xiao Chen were standing on the side near the source of the explosion. The falling wall hit them. Lang Yue pushed Xiao Chen out without thinking, and he was trapped by the deformed wall.
Xiao Chen only had a little scratch. He held the wall with all his might, hoping that it would not collapse anymore.
Tan Rou and the others did not take the elevator. During the explosion, it was safest to take the stairs.
As soon as she stepped out of the stairs, Tan Rou saw Shang Jin lying there. He had fainted with her eyes closed and his face was covered in blood.
“I’ll carry him downstairs.” Xu Yan took the initiative to carry Shang Jin, “Go find the others..”
