Chapter 623 - Waking Up From A Long Dream (2/2)
”What does it mean?” Anya was very scared when she heard that. ”I'm still very young. I don't have a boyfriend and I'm not married. I don't want to die!”
”Don't be noisy!” Aiden held his breath and pressed his ear against the door. After a while, he heard a click and the door opened.
Anya was very happy to see that the door had finally opened. However, flames were burning fiercely and hot smoke from outside blew across their faces.
Anya could not open her eyes because it was so painful.
Aiden immediately pulled her back inside and closed the door.
”Why is there a fire outside?” Anya said frantically.
Aiden saw the vats filled with oil in the room. If the fire continued to burn and spread inside, this barrel of oil could explode. He didn't know if there was a barrel of oil outside. If so then the outside could explode first.
But this fire made smoke rise high in the sky. Surely someone would notice their presence there. Maybe someone would report this fire…
But would they be able to survive until someone saved them?
”Right now, this place is the safest. Wait here, I'll check the situation outside,” Aiden patted Anya's shoulder.
”You… You have to come back to save me. I'm afraid to be here alone!” Anya said, her voice was trembling.
”You saved me last night. I'll definitely come back to save you.” Aiden covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and then opened the door and rushed out.
A moment later, there was a loud voice from outside. Anya could feel the ground below her shaking.
When he got back inside, Aiden's clothes were already on fire. He even had to roll on the ground to put out the fire.
Anya saw that part of Aiden's skin was red and burnt.
Seeing the situation getting worse, Anya felt increasingly tense and panicked. ”How is it?”
”The gate is locked with a chain. We can't go out unless…” Just as Aiden was about to finish his words, an explosive sound was heard again, causing the outer wall in their room to start cracking.
Seeing the crack, Aiden immediately took whatever he could use to hit it repeatedly.
He hit it continuously with all his strength, pitting the upper wall until light could enter from that small hole.
Aiden used an oil barrel as a foothold and went up to punch through the hole until it got bigger enough for one person to pass.
”Let's quickly climb through this hole!” Aiden held out his hand to Anya.
When she saw the hole in the light, Anya seemed to see a hope.
She immediately climbed the oil barrel that Aiden was using. Then, Aiden picked her up and helped her up.
Anya tried to move, but the heat from the flames outside subconsciously made her withdraw her hand.
”Hurry up! Otherwise we can die here!” Aiden shouted.
Aiden did not tell Anya that there were several large oil barrels outside the door. If hit by fire, they would explode one by one and the building could collapse.
Anya gritted her teeth and endured the heat. As she managed to climb up and was about to reach out to Aiden, a row of explosions rang out.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The sound of the explosion was followed by blazing flames and thick smoke filling the room.
The flames immediately spread out in all directions, as if trying to take control of the room that had just managed to open.
Aiden immediately pushed Anya out of the hole.
”Aiden! Aiden!”
”Aiden, you can't die. Aiden!”
”Aiden come out! You can't die!”
Anya shouted repeatedly, but everything in front of her was engulfed in fire. Her face was full of tears, weeping uncontrollably.
…
Anya opened her eyes screaming. Just like in her dream, her face was also covered with tears.
But the difference was, Aiden was beside her this time.
Aiden wasn't lost in that lake of fire.
Aiden was beside her, still sleeping peacefully, with no sign of waking up.
Aiden was beside her...
