Two Zhilong Headquarters staff members came in wearing the same outfit, and each had an induction loop around their ankles.

They carried four barrels of gasoline and hurriedly made a round of the house, but did not find Yu He's group hiding in the shadows, and the bodies of the two staff members were dragged to the corner by Qingcheng Xie.

"That cop has been brought up by the third group?"

"It looks like it."

"Then do it quickly."

The two men began to pour gasoline on the floor, and when the barrel of oil was exhausted, one of them clicked the lighter, raised his hand and threw it hard, the lighter hit the wall in a parabolic line, and then burst into flames from the corner.

"Go!"

Footsteps quickly from near to far, and then and outside the noisy sound mixed together, those people from the eight rooms out of the fire inspection, each reported the situation, and together from the marketplace to exit.

They are, in the end, people on a sinking ship who don't want to drown together, but can't get off the ship, and don't take Zhilong Huang's work too seriously.

When the fire meets the gasoline, it is like a dragon awakened by the call from the depths of the earth, with its scales glowing and its breath spewing, roaring low to swallow the entire underground desert city into its own hot lungs.

Yu He they also can not have more stay, when the arsonists left, they will also have to get out of the basement immediately. But Man Chen coughs up a mouthful of blood at that moment.

Qingcheng Xie immediately said, "How are you doing? Are you still holding up?"

"...nothing."

The three ran forward together, at the moment they have recorded things in their hands can already support the police to come to a thorough investigation, but the sample of listening to the water or not found ......

There was no more time, they had to get out of this basement immediately and find another way.

However -

" Yu He , stop!"

Yu He heard Qingcheng Xie's voice, and quickly stopped, and almost at the same time, with the "boom--! A sound, an alloy steel plate above the exit was burned by the high temperature, burning and smashed down, right in front of Yu He, the splash of fire forced Yu He backward step.

And more frightening than this brush with mortal danger is the fire on the other side of the exit.

Just now the few lack of virtue grandson also do not know how much gasoline poured over there, that a place has become a purgatory of fire.

The place we came from is not accessible, so we have to retreat to the interior of Zhilong Headquarters.

But when they ran over there, they found that the situation wasn't good either.

Zhilong Headquarters to the basement, is led by a steel gangway, and at this time, the induction gangway has been because of the approaching flame heat wave, activated the self-protection mechanism, automatically folded into the cabin.

Yu He looked around, rushed to the corner, and quickly tapped a few buttons on the control panel, and an emergency response wrench slowly emerged from the recess next to the panel.

Yu He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made his way to the platform through the gangway and was about to turn around to meet Qingcheng Xie when he was shocked to find that the gangway had retracted again!

The controls are actually out of order!

The situation became very serious, only Yu He went up to the high platform leading to Zhilong Headquarters, Qingcheng Xie and Man Chen were still below, the ladder had been retracted, and neither of them could go up.

Seeing the flames getting closer, Yu He leaned over to Qingcheng Xie with a pale face and shouted, "Wrench! You try the wrench again!"

Qingcheng Xie did not need him to say, immediately went to the control panel, and once again held the wrench down to press.

There was a low muffled sound as the gangway slowly descended once again. Yu He breathed a sigh of relief, but this breath has not finished, then heard an ear-piercing scraping sound, followed by the control panel crackling out a series of sparks!

Yu He was dumbfounded.

This digital panel should be governed by a switchboard motherboard, the switchboard motherboard was probably damaged in the fire and now this panel is starting to fail!

Unlike the case of Yu He just now, Qingcheng Xie's hand cannot be released from the wrench at all, otherwise the gangway will be retracted immediately, which means .........

A moment of dead silence.

All three men understood.

Only two people could escape through the gangway.

There is still one person who has to stay here to stabilize the wrench, and the fate that awaits this person is that it will be consumed by the flames - one end!

Qingcheng Xie made an immediate decision: " Man Chen, you go up first."

Man Chen : "...... brother, you ......"

Qingcheng Xie said sternly, "Go up!"

Man Chen coughed and his eyes went red all of a sudden, "Brother-"

"Brother what, get the fuck up there! It's too late!"

Man Chen, however, suddenly lifted his face and smiled sadly. And then he walked to his side, his hand reached over, hard, and held the wrench.

"...... I'm sorry."

"Brother Xie, this time, I can't listen to you."

Man Chen said, clutching the wrench tightly, tilted his head to Yu He and said, " Yu He, you come down and take him away!"

Yu He didn't even need to tell him, how could he stand on his own in such a bad situation?

Qingcheng Xie was furious: " Man Chen, are you crazy? I told you to go up, you go up, where's the nonsense! Get your ass up there! You--"

Before he could finish his sentence, Man Chen suddenly reached out his empty hand and hugged him.

"Go up Xie, because ......" Man Chen, with his head down, finally told the truth to Qingcheng Xie at this moment. His tears also fell uncontrollably at this point, "because they had injected me with their drug before they caught me upstairs and put me in the basement ......"

Qingcheng Xie : "!!!"

"I don't know what that drug is, but I can also tell from their conversations that it's something that will allow them to control me ......"

Man Chen choked up: "Over the years, I've heard of many such things...narcotics police officers whose loved ones were retaliated against by drug dealers by injecting drugs into their loved ones' bodies, and if they fell into their hands themselves, the damage would only be greater ...... I was in a nursing home I once saw an undercover officer who was tortured and went crazy ...... I was only six years old at the time."

"Brother, I don't want to live like that. Live with no dignity at all."

Man Chen looked up at him with tears glistening in his eyes, "You let me stay. That way at least, I ended up doing something pretty."

"......"

"I ...... I'm not so smart, but also ...... but not exactly, dragging everyone down ...... "

Qingcheng Xie listened, already blue and white.

Man Chen didn't know what he had been injected with, but Qingcheng Xie guessed.

It is likely that, like Xue Xie, RN13 is an improved drug.

Zhilong Huang This move is too vicious -

He sees Man Chen as his shield, as a card that can blackmail Commissar Wang, for which he injects Man Chen with a new drug, the sample of which, and the corresponding antidote, are in Zhilong Huang's hands.

In this way, even if Man Chen is rescued, Wang will still have concerns about Zhilong Huang, which is another layer of insurance for Huang's escape.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, the smoke has smoked up, they must get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise they will be choked to death even if they are not burned to death.

Qingcheng Xie knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he quickly said to Man Chen, "Don't worry about this, that injection isn't going to kill you, and it's not a drug, you go up first and let Yu He talk to you ......"

"I'm not leaving. I know you're lying to me." Man Chen suppressed the vulnerability and trembling in his voice, "Brother, you always have this way of coaxing people so that they will do what you want them to do. When you used to let me come out of my brother's death, you also lied to me at first, saying that if only I were less depressed, my brother might be able to come back ......"

Qingcheng Xie immediately began to regret that she had always been so nonsense to coax the children.

But he didn't have time to talk to him any more, he pushed Man Chen: "Hurry up, think about your parents! Your family has already lost your elder brother, if anything happens to you again, how will you let them support you?"

Man Chen : "......"

Qingcheng Xie said sternly, "You trust me, I have a way to get out."

" Man Chen , you quickly let go!"

Man Chen saw that he insisted on this, more mixed feelings, he mute voice, choked: "Xie brother ...... why? Why do you always think this way and that way for others. You think I died, my parents will be sad, will be sad. You have never thought of yourself in this way ...... I know you have always felt that Xue Xie has grown up, you have nothing to worry about, so you always put your own life in the last place. But ......"

Man Chen looked at him in the firelight, and suddenly a strong emotion before life and death shook his heart.

This has always been introverted, he finally could not resist at this moment, out of impulse, out of sadness, out of the depression of parting, out of the heart of persuasion, to Qingcheng Xie said: "Brother, you are not no one cares."

"......"

"At least I care about you."

"......"

"At least if anything happens to you, I'd be willing to trade my life for it."

Qingcheng Xie was stunned for a moment.

Boom!

Qingcheng Xie was shocked by Man Chen's sudden strong feelings between life and death, but then was pulled back to consciousness by the critical scene at hand.

He came back to his senses: "You hurry up and get out of here first!"

"Brother ......" Man Chen's eyes were red, "I won't go."

Qingcheng Xie was furious, gritted his teeth and said: " Man Chen you listen to me clearly, I can't let you stand here alone and escape first, you are far younger than me and more important than me! Qingcheng Xie saw Man Chen still want to say something else, the dark sword eyebrows raised, peach blossom eyes sternly forced at each other.

"You go with Yu He now, I still have a way out, if you insist on standing here, I'll fucking stand with you. I'll stand with you to the end!!!"

Man Chen didn't expect him to say that, and his eyes widened suddenly.

Qingcheng Xie one word: "See for yourself, you dare to bet with me, the chips are two lives."

The light in Man Chen's eyes faltered for a moment.

Since his childhood, he was always like this in front of Qingcheng Xie, who would always end up overpowering him with absolute toughness, leaving him no way to say a word of no in front of his decisions.

So he has always been at the mercy of Qingcheng Xie's arrangements.

Even if you want to tell him to stop smoking in anger, the end result is often Qingcheng Xie again, regardless of the cigarette out of his clothes, and then hold it again.

Even now ......

Man Chen looked at Qingcheng Xie really standing in front of himself so resolutely and coldly, with the intention of really exhausting his life in the sea of fire with him.

In this moment, he still stumbled.

His hardened heart was still easily softened by Qingcheng Xie.

At that moment, a teenager's hand tugged on his arm, and Man Chen turned around abruptly and met Yu He's eyes.

-- He wanted to interrupt Man Chen and Qingcheng Xie's conversation several times, but in the end he didn't do it. Because it is useless to interrupt.

But he didn't expect Man Chen to say at the last minute, "If something happens to you, I'd give my life for it. Such heavy words.

These words undoubtedly touched Qingcheng Xie, Qingcheng Xie in Man Chen said these contents, the eyes have been resting on Man Chen, and Qingcheng Xie finally said to Man Chen, if you insist on standing here, I will stand with you.

Yu He thought anxiously, "So, is Qingcheng Xie willing to accompany Man Chen to die?

He inexplicably remembered in the studio reservoir, he thought he was going to die with Qingcheng Xie, at that moment his heart was very relieved, think this way of death is also considered unattached, far better than the other.

Qingcheng Xie felt buried in the fire with Man Chen, too?

He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of jealousy and sadness, and he was even jealous that Man Chen had been injected with the new RN-13 drug - why? It was a bond that belonged only between him and Qingcheng Xie.

Originally it was just him!

Only he and Qingcheng Xie--

They are the only ones of their kind.

Why did Man Chen have to come to their mountains and lakes, why did Man Chen have to be the kind of sufferer that would make Qingcheng Xie stop by? Why did Man Chen's body have to be branded with the same scars as his?

He took a hold of Man Chen's wrist - his dragon feathers were spreading, and his fangs were glinting coldly, little by little, to show.

He hid all his resentment and heartbreak.

He said to Man Chen, almost ruthlessly, "You're coming with me."

"......"

"You heard what he said." Yu He's voice was unusually cold, "Since you heard it, do what he said."

"Follow me up."

Qingcheng Xie's eyes took on an emotion similar to gratitude and looked at Yu He for a moment.

Yu He did not look at Qingcheng Xie, but dragged Man Chen, who was already at a loss for words, up the gangway and climbed to the only open doorway to Zhilong Headquarters.

The gate's biometric system was not difficult for Yu He to break through, and Yu He quickly unlocked the code, pushing Man Chen out with an expressionless face.

"You are the grandson of Political Commissar Wang, rest assured that he will not touch you until Zhilong Huang escapes the country with all his tails intact."

He said, taking off his wrist-worn video recorder, which had already collected a full range of evidence. He slipped it into Man Chen's hand.

Man Chen finally realized what he was going to do at this point and tried to come back in, but Yu He held the door against him.

"Get out." Yu He didn't say anything more to him, looking at Man Chen condescendingly, one hand already touching the biometric door's closing button.

The door slowly closed between them, and when only the last gap was left, Yu He looked at Man Chen indifferently through the gap and said in a voice that only they could hear -

" Yan Chen , I know you like him."

Man Chen was shaken! The already pale face became even more transparent.

Yu He then said: "But you'd better keep it in check, never tell him. Because Qingcheng Xie is not gay, he will not like men, what you want he can never give you. You remember what I said today."

Man Chen's face turned white before he could say anything.

The gate has closed with a bang.

In this way, Yu He and Qingcheng Xie were the only ones left in the smoky basement.

Yu He turned back and walked down the gangway step by step.

Qingcheng Xie never thought Yu He would send Man Chen away and come back to do such an outrageous thing, his face changed: "You fucking go up there! Are you crazy? What are you doing back here?"

Yu He approached, an elusive look on his face.

Qingcheng Xie scolded him again. It's crazy, one bunny just sent up, another one? Are they all cross with him!

Yu He does not care, he does not listen to Qingcheng Xie have scolded him some what. His head is filled with Qingcheng Xie's consistent attitude towards Man Chen, which is much better than his own.

He even believes that if Man Chen had pursued Qingcheng Xie, it would probably have been easier than he did.

At least in Qingcheng Xie's eyes, Man Chen is a good person, and Qingcheng Xie is friendly to good people.

Now Man Chen has been injected with RN13, and once he becomes a psychotic Bola Ai patient, he will be able to completely share the same disease as Qingcheng Xie.

He is no longer the only young dragon around Qingcheng Xie.

The things that Yu He has that can hold Qingcheng Xie are not much, even the same illness is counted as a red thread.

Now even sickness is not the only thing.

Yu He just took one step up and-

His hand was on the back of Qingcheng Xie's hand.

It just snapped his palms and removed his hands from the control pins slowly, firmly and without resistance.

The gangway retracted, broken iron fell, flames danced, smoke like fog.

Yu He In the midst of this apocalyptic twilight-like chaos, in the midst of this increasingly difficult to breathe calamity, he reached out and irresistibly embraced Qingcheng Xie's body. He wrapped Qingcheng Xie tightly into his arms and said in a cold voice, "Yes, I am crazy."

"......"

"You've always known that."

He said, a bite through his own lips, stained with rusty blood, and then kissed Qingcheng Xie's lips fiercely.

That kiss was deep, with a depth of love and heat that ordinary people simply cannot bear.

At the end of the kiss, Yu He did not say a word, but used the blood compulsion on Qingcheng Xie once again...

"I want you, get out of here right now."

Qingcheng Xie didn't expect him to do this and his face suddenly turned white!

Yu He's dark pupils looked at him, "Listen to my words, Qingcheng Xie."

"This is my order."
