Chapter 387: Extreme Urgency

Just then, a sizable crowd of onlookers from the neighborhood gathered in the open apace downstairs
the crowd raised their heads and looked at the Inp Mon which way engulfed by shirt blark clouds of
smoke

A member of the property management’s voice was amplified loudly by a loudspeaker "Everyone, be
quiet! Keep calm Keep a safe distance from the fire we have called the fire department and the firemen
will be here shortly!"

"Why did the fire seem to start at the top floor? What about the people on the top floor?"

"Have all the people on the lower floors managed to evacuate? If you are fine, come and report to me!"

People were all talking and shouting over one another.It was a scene of utter chaos.

The fire had started on the penultimate Moor of the building Fortunately, the residents below that floor
were not trapped and had escaped to safety Only Ethan and Janet were still caught in the fire since
they lived on the top floor, The siren of the fire engine could be heard approaching quickly, but only the
sound of the siren could be heard, and there was no sign of the fire engine itself.

Someone in the crowd peered around and saw that the fire engine had actually stopped just near the
building, The firefighting access was originally unimpeded.

Now there was a big truck parked at the entrance, which completely blocked the way of the fire engine.

What’s more, this high-end community’s pedestrian system was separated from the vehicle system.

Except for the firefighting access, the fire engine had no way to approach the apartment building from
the ground, The property manager was so anxious that he shouted, "What’s going on?! Where is the
driver of that truck? This is a matter of life and death.We don’t have a second to waste here!"



Many people couldn’t stand idly anymore.

They also tried to contact the driver to move the truck, but sadly no one recognized this truck and they
had no idea who to call.

"Damn it! There is no phone number left on the truck either.We have no way of contacting the driver!"

"Then we have to wait for the tow truck!"

"God knows when the tow truck will arrive! Besides, this truck is too big to be towed.It’s also impossible
for the fire engine to forcefully hit a way out!"

The property manager was wholly overwhelmed by anxiety. He was very clear about the fact that the
resident of the top floor was a big shot.

However, there was such an unexpected situation at the critical moment of rescue.

The manager wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and nervously watched the thick smoke billowing
from the top floor.

Ethan and Janel were blocked into a corner of the rooftop. The surrounding area was as hot as the
surface of the sun, and the heat was almost unbearable.

The floor under their feet was so hot that they could hardly stand.

Janet was sweating profusely.

Her face was red and her hair had curled from the heat, Ethan observed the rooftop calmly.

He couldn’t just sit still and wait to be burnt to death. He had already called for the firemen, and there
should have been many people calling the police outside.



Why hadn’t the firefighters arrived yet? The wet blanket and wet towel they prepared in a hurry just now
had already become bone dry from the sheer heat.

Janet covered her mouth with the towel but she couldn’t help coughing and choking from the noxious
gases of the fire.

"Ethan, we’d better find a way to get out of here.This fire is going to eat us up if we don’t act fast."

Janet stared at the fire in the staircase leading to the rooftop.

It seemed to be impossible for them to go downstairs via that route.

Now they were truly in a predicament, Their wet clothes had also been dried out by the heat from the
flames.

Even though the rooftop was an open space, the temperature and size of the flames was just too great.

The water in their bodies would evaporate quickly Ethan walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked
down"!! By this time, the fire had already burned the rooftop from the staircase to where they stood.

Janet felt the heat increasing exponentially.Her mouth was dry, and her hands and feet were weak.She
felt dizzy because of the dehydration from such close proximity with the flames.
