BXBX NOVEL Chapter 426 Saving Her Life
The young girl was already panicking as she saw the smoke coming in. She continued screaming for help while pounding the steel door.
*Bang! Bang!*
"Help! Help! Somebody help! I don\'t want to die yet!"
Cough! Cough!
The girl immediately covered her nose because of the smoke. She turned around, walking to the sink to wet her handkerchief in the faucet.
That\'s when she noticed that she was not alone. She saw Zhen-Zhen standing still while assessing the situation. She looked very calm. not even scared at all.
The young girl suddenly ran to her and held her arms. With Zhen-Zhen\'s IQ, she could understand the girl\'s foreign language.
"Big sister! This building is on fire! What should we do now? I can\'t open the door. We are trap here." the girl informed Zhen-Zhen, feeling helpless.
Then the girl pulled Zhen-Zhen to the sink. "Big sister, don\'t just stand there. We will be suffocated here soon. Do you have a handkerchief? Let\'s soak it in the water so that you can use it to cover your nose."
Zhen-Zhen looked at her with amusement. Even though the girl was already scared and nervous, she was still telling her what to do.
Unfortunately, Zhen-Zhen didn\'t bring any handkerchief so she just shook her head as a response. The girl felt like crying again. She felt like her time was about to come and both of them would die in there.
She pounced on Zhen-Zhen and hugged her waist tightly. "Big sister. I don\'t wanna die yet. I still have dreams. My family is there, waiting for me. I hope someone will rescue us here."
Zhen-Zhen patted her back, stroking her hair to console her. Using a foreign language, Zhen-Zhen spoke to her to comfort her. "Don\'t worry. You will not die. I will save you. Nothing will happen to us. Trust me, okay?"
As if Zhen-Zhen\'s words possessed some kind of magic, the girl stopped crying and nodded her head. She didn\'t know what Zhen-Zhen was planning to do but for some unknown reason, she wanted to rely on this beautiful stranger in front of her.
Zhen-Zhen held her shoulders and asked her to stay in her spot. She would try to open the door and check the situation outside. Zhen-Zhen was not afraid nor scared. She had the power of fire element. She could control and manipulate fire.
She already had options on how she would save herself and the girl from this fire. But her main concern was how she would be able to keep or hide her power in front of this young girl.
She wanted to assess the situation first before making a move. If she had no choice left then she would be forced to use her power in front of the girl. She just hoped that once it happened then she could ask the young girl to keep her secret.
The girl stayed low and sat on the floor since the smoke was already spreading above them while Zhen-Zhen traced her steps towards the door. She pulled the door effortlessly and it opened in an instant.
The young girl\'s eyes grew wide in shock and amazement. She didn\'t expect that the beautiful lady in front of her had that kind of strength.
\'Eh, big sister is strong?! Or maybe I am just weak since I am still a child,\' The girl marveled at that thought. She was looking at Zhen-Zhen with amazement.
The girl was not the only person who was shocked after seeing Zhen-Zhen open the door effortlessly. From the distance, Hannah saw that and she couldn\'t believe it.
\'How come she is able to open it? Is the rope made of substandard material that it broke easily?\'
The fire already spread all over the building Hannah was also trapped inside the building. She couldn\'t proceed further because of the fire near the kitchen that was blocking her way.
She just realized her mistake. She shouldn\'t waste her time locking the door. She should have evacuated the building as soon as possible.
\'Wrong move. Hannah, you are a fool! Are you planning to get yourself killed along with that woman,\' Hannah scolded herself.
Cough! Cough!
Hannah was sitting on the floor still waiting for the rescuer to come and rescue her. Zhen-Zhen didn\'t notice her presence since she was busy checking something on the door.
She was wondering why there\'s a rope on the door handle. Zhen-Zhen suspected that this was the reason why the young girl couldn\'t open the door moments ago. \'Did someone intentionally tie the door to lock it from the outside?\'
Meanwhile, Hannah regained her hope when she saw from the entrance that there were firefighters entering the building. She immediately shouted for help.
"Help! Help! I\'m here!" Hannah screamed with her remaining strength. She was almost losing her consciousness because of the smoke. She had difficulty in breathing.
That\'s the moment Zhen-Zhen heard her. She turned in Hannah\'s direction and saw her asking for help too. Zhen-Zhen didn\'t expect that she was still inside the building.
Then a thought popped up in her mind. \'Don\'t tell me Hannah is the one who did this?\' Zhen-Zhen asked herself while looking at the rope in her hand.
Zhen-Zhen started to approach Hannah when suddenly another blast happened inside the kitchen. One of the gas tanks exploded, intensifying the fire.
The raging fire was spreading across the ceiling and the walls. It almost reached Hannah\'s spot. Hannah couldn\'t move as she already drained her energy. \'Am I going to die?\'
However before the fire reached Hannah, she saw someone stand in front of her. With her blurry vision, she saw the person raising her arms as if she was trying to stop something.
Hannah witnessed how Zhen-Zhen manipulated and controlled the fire thus stopping the raging fire from reaching their spot. That was the last scene Hannah saw before she lost her consciousness.
Zhen-Zhen glanced at Hannah with a complicated expression on her face. "We are now even. I put your life in danger before because of FaMo. Now, I saved your life to make it up for that incident."
