When Mu Ning heard the familiar voice, his heart stopped for a beat and he turned around to look.
There were big stone pillars on all sides, and the man was tied to the other side. She only saw a pair of slender legs.
"Gu Zhiyin?"
"Um."
Mu Ning was a little excited, "How are you?"
"It's okay... keep your voice down."
His voice sounded low and hoarse, so weak that it was almost drowned out by the burning sound.
Mu Ning forced himself to calm down and looked around. This group of people wanted to burn them inside.
"Why don't they just kill us?"
In this case, Mu Ning could still ask such a question.
Gu Zhiyin sighed and answered her slowly.
"Being beaten to death in a coma will not cause pain."
"Seeing yourself being burned by the fire but unable to move to save yourself is probably quite torturous."
Mu Ning struggled against the chains on his hands, "Are we really going to be burned to death here tonight?"
"...Aren't you very disappointed, Ning Ning?"
Mu Ning thought for a while, "It's okay. We said we would be together even if we die, but I'm a little unwilling to do so."
There was silence for a long time, and he said something weakly.
"sorry."
Mu Ning was startled, "Why are you apologizing? You didn't cause this."
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about tonight..." He coughed in a low voice, his voice getting hoarse, "Did I... scare you?"
Mu Ning lowered his eyes and thought, "You are quite scary like that, but I have lived with you for more than ten years. If I were really afraid of you, I would have run away long ago."
"And if even I am afraid of you, who in this world would dare to get close to you?"
"I love you no matter what, Uncle Gu, I love you more than anyone else."
Gu Zhiyin was silent for a long time after hearing this, "Ning Ning, we won't die."
Suddenly there was a noise outside the flames.
Several French men who were watching them being burned to death seemed to be on guard and turned around to draw their guns.
A group of people rushed in at the door of the factory and exchanged gunfire with the French men.
"This is?"
"The secretly installed bodyguards will be dispatched once I lose my position."
"Ah...it turns out you have arranged for someone."
Mu Ning looked at the raging fire that had burned to the soles of their feet, "But it seems we can't get out."
Suddenly, the beams collapsed and hit Mu Ning's feet. She screamed in shock, "Gu Zhiyin, this house is going to burn down."
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear a response for a long time.
"Gu Zhiyin? Gu Zhiyin?!"
"Did you pass out?"
There was no sound.
Mu Ning was so anxious, how could he be unconscious at this time!
With him talking to her, she felt less scared. Now that she was alone looking at the fire, she felt helpless and panicked.
On the periphery of the fire, the gun battle had ended, and the Frenchmen had all fallen.
Gu Zhiyin's people were about to rush in to rescue them, but at this moment, a Frenchman who was not dead lay on the ground, vomiting blood from his mouth, and took out a remote control from his pocket tremblingly.
"Di" clicked.
"boom!"
All the bombs buried in the chemical plant detonated at once!
The sound of bombings sounded one after another, and Mu Ning watched helplessly as the people who came to rescue them were killed, and some of their limbs were splashed.
The whole building began to shake like an earthquake.
There was a cracking sound, and Mu Ning raised his head in horror and saw cracks in the pillars that bound them.
She studied architecture, and she knew that this was a load-bearing column. If this column collapsed, the entire factory would collapse.
"don't want……"
The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and with a "boom", the pillar completely shattered.
Mu Ning looked at the crumbling ceiling, then looked down at the chains on his hands, thinking that he was really going to die here tonight.
The moment the ceiling shattered and crashed down, Mu Ning closed his eyes in despair.
Suddenly, she felt a darkening on her eyelids, and hot breath sprayed on her neck.
Mu Ning suddenly opened his eyes and saw a body looming above him.
"Gu Zhiyin?"
"Shh... I don't have the energy to answer you now."
Seeing his pale and stern face covered in blood, Mu Ning's eyes suddenly turned red.
Gu Zhiyin knelt on the ground, placed his palms on both sides of Mu Ning's cheeks, supported her body, and used his body to block the falling rocks for her.
His dark eyes looked at her unblinkingly, his eyes showing no emotion, but extremely firm.
All around, beams and stones were falling.
Some gravel hit his back.
His face became paler and paler, but he remained silent.
Mu Ning heard the muffled sound of the stone hitting him, as if it was hitting her heart, an unbearable dull pain.
She asked with red eyes, "Does it hurt?"
Gu Zhiyin ordered her with a pale face, "Pull your legs up and curl up into my arms."
"Don't stand in my way. If you agree to die, we will die together."
Gu Zhiyin saw that she was disobedient and cursed softly, "Are you stupid? Do you think this is a chance to play a game and be reborn? Don't talk about whether you will die or not, hurry up!"
Even if he died, she must live well.
Mu Ning obeyed and obeyed.
She hugged her knees and curled up into the space he held for her.
The shadow shrouded Mu Ning's head, like a sky holding up for her, blocking the falling boulders for her.
Although his body was obviously in pain, he raised his lips and smiled, "Although this body is not as good as before, and it may not be as good in the future, I can still do something for you now."
"Stop saying that..." Hot tears welled up in Mu Ning's eyes.
He couldn't wipe her tears and wanted to dispel her fear with a smile.
Suddenly a beam fell down and hit Gu Zhiyin, pressing his back hard.
Mu Ning exclaimed, "Gu Zhiyin!"
The factory collapsed completely, burying them in rubble.
Darkness...darkness before my eyes.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Ahem..."
Mu Ning woke up after fainting.
She opened her eyes and couldn't see anything.
Her mind was in chaos, her ears were ringing, and she felt pain all over her body.
Mu Ning was in a daze for a long time. She heard a weak breathing sound. She immediately held her breath. When she heard the breathing sound getting heavier and heavier, she immediately shouted in surprise, "Gu Zhiyin?!"
A low gasp came from the darkness, which was her answer.
"Great, you're still alive!" Tears burst out of Mu Ning's hot eyes, "You... how are you now?"
After a long time, two weak words came out.
"...don't be afraid."
Mu Ning knew that he was still supporting her because she couldn't feel any pressure on her body.
She was still curled up in Gu Zhiyin's arms.
Mu Ning found that his hands could move. It must have been the stone that broke the chain.
She stretched out her hand and reached up.
About a chapter later, she met Gu Zhiyin's warm body.
really……
He carried the rubble for her.
What she touched was Gu Zhiyin's chest, and she could clearly feel Gu Zhiyin's body trembling under her palm.
Mu Ning didn't dare to move his hands and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
"...don't touch...I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
