Chapter 92 Escaping
Chapter 92 Escaping
Rachel couldn't figure out where the explosion came from. After it had exploded, she fell violently on the floor.
Everyone in the hall was stunned, questioning what had just happened. After a few moments, chaos ensued and screams tore the silence.
Rachel's heart pounded in her chest. Regardless of the pain she felt in her hands and feet, she quickly got up from the floor.
People began to rush out of the building. The floor was still trembling slightly, and then another explosive sound followed. The windows looked like they were about to break. Rachel could barely stand up properly.
She also wanted to leave with the crowd, but her feet were weak, and her knees were so painful that it hurt just standing up. She was afraid of going with the crowd, in fear that she would be trampled on if she fell down.
The sudden explosion broke the lively scene in the villa, causing bewilderment.
Everyone began to exit as multiple explosions were heard consecutively.
A fire began in a sudden. When they rushed to the gate, they found that that it was locked from the outside.
Someone wanted them all to die here!
They were panicking. There were bombs in the villa, and the whole house was trembling because of the explosions.
They didn't know when the roof would collapse. At this critical moment, everyone ran to the gate, but found that the gate couldn't open. How could they not be panic?
People began to squeeze towards the gate, slamming it with all their might. Women were loudly screaming, the scene twisting in front of their eyes.
The gate was too thick. Even when they tried to break it down, it still didn't budge. The heavy smoke began to thicken and people started coughing from the lack of oxygen.
The ceiling was filled with cracks, it looked terribly appalling.
People began to cry. Some of them began to shout orders. "Go find Rick. He should have the key. I refuse to meet death today."
Another person asked, "Does anyone know where he may be right now?"
There were only a few people surrounding the gate now. They didn't know where the explosion came from. Perhaps some of them had been engulfed by the explosion.
What was going on here? This was definitely no accident. Who planned this?
Someone suddenly said, "Don't stand here. Hurry up and break the windows so that we can get out!"
Fortunately, there were no security nets outside the windows of the villa. It was an easy escape, they would step on mud if they broke through the windows.
People began to look for tools that could break the windows. The fire had already burned down the room on the other side. The windows were broken down one after another.
The women were the first to leave through.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
They crawled out from the windows one by one. By then people had calmed down. There were no more explosions and there was now a way to escape the chaos.
The fire started getting stronger and stronger. It quickly swept to the gate.
Rachel stood against the wall for a while, she still couldn't walk.
The ash on the ceiling fell down. She didn't know what had happened. Where did the explosion come from?
The noisy crowd in the banquet hall was eerie at the moment. The lights dimmed, making the entire banquet hall dark.
Soft music came from inside. The carpet on the floor was filled with messy footprints. Someone's bag had fallen in the chaos. There were high heeled shoes on the floor as well.
It was a very weird scene. Rachel leaned against the wall of the corridor and looked inside the banquet hall. She was so shocked.
If it had been a stronger explosion, she would have died here.
Some moments ago, the place had been very lively, but now there was no other sound except for the music, as if the others had already left.
She slowly moved, supporting herself by using the wall. This was the only way she would be able to escape.
After a few steps, Rachel felt a sharp pain in her feet. Her ankle was twisted, so she had to stop. As she raised her hand to press the ankle, the floor shook again.
Rachel raised her head, and in a panic, she leaned over to the other side of the corridor. She felt something rubbing against her arm, causing a burning pain.
She looked sideways and saw a frame. The glass had broken and she almost hit her head.
Rachel slumped down on the floor, still suffering from the shock. She almost died here.
'All of them have run away. If I was hit, I might die here.'
In a second, the hall became hell.
Hearing the sound of the explosion, Marcus and Michael were all stunned. "What was that sound?"
Marcus hesitated. "An explosion?"
Then came the second sound.
It was not until then they realized that it was really the sound of an explosion. And it came from somewhere in the villa. The house was shaking slightly.
The both of them rushed out together.
There was also another exit, but before they walked out, they ran into Rick again. He was totally stunned and shocked. It was obvious that he didn't know that there was an explosion in his house.
Fortunately, Rick was still calm. He had invited a lot of people. If they rushed out together, the gate would be blocked.
He didn't know what was going on, but he realized that someone wanted them to die here.
Or, someone wanted him to die here.
He thought for a while and guessed who the person was behind this. He had probably buried many bombs here when Rick was absent. It was not a good time to think about it carefully. The most important thing now was to escape.
Rick turned around and said decisively, "Go, go to the back, and leave from behind!"
Michael asked anxiously, "Where is Jack? He went with Rachel. Where is he now?"
While they were running after Rick to the back door, Marcus took out his mobile phone and called Jack. As they were about to reach the door, they heard Jack's voice.
They stopped and looked back. At the other end of the corridor, Jack was dragging a woman and running towards them.
Michael was pleasantly surprised, but when he saw who the woman was, he didn't know how to react. His face turned dark as he saw Jack with Celine.
The back door opened and everybody was running outside. Marcus pulled Michael and said hastily, "Let's go first."
Michael swallowed what he wanted to say and went out with the crowd. When he went out, he saw black smoke rising out of the window.
The explosion happened when Jack was looking for Rachel. He couldn't find Rachel and had to run out of the house with others.
However, Rachel was not among these people at all. Where had she gone?
Another explosion caused the floor to tremble. The windows broke and the shards fell on the floor. Suddenly, a woman ran out of the crowd, bumping into him while she screamed like a banshee.
He reached out to pull her back in case she bumped into the wall.
The frightened woman opened her arms and was about to hug him. However, Jack pointed the direction the crowd rushed to and said in a low voice, "There's an exit."
The woman followed the crowd and left the villa.
Jack called Rachel's name, looking for her. He heard a weak voice from somewhere. He stopped and turned around to look for her.
But he only found Celine, who rushed towards him.
The lights in the hall began to twinkle. A spray sprung in the corner of the wall fell down beside them.
Jack tried to calm down and was afraid that another explosion would erupt. He pulled Celine's hand and began to run out of the building.
When they arrived outside, it was dark. Almost everyone had escaped, including those who came out from the gate.
Unfortunately, Jack couldn't find Rachel. Michael said in surprise, "Wasn't she with you just now?"
After she heard these words, Celine glanced up at him. With fear, she looked towards the direction of the villa, which burst into flames.
And several more screams could be heard in the crowd.
