"Hurry! Knock on every door!"
"There’s so much smoke! I can’t see clearly!"
The whole building was on fire. Qin Guan’s roommates jumped out of bed and rushed into the corridor with their most valuable belongings.
Dense smoke filled the whole corridor. Scared students were everywhere. Qin Guan picked up a thermos from the table and wet some towels.
"Cover your mouths and noses with them! Bend down! We have to rush out along the side wall."
They did as Qin Guan told them.
"It’s so hot! It's boiling water!"
Liu Xiaoyang burst into tears. I shouldn't have trusted him. His calmness misled me!
Shocked by Liu's misfortune, the others silently blew at the steam rising from their towels. It was almost bearable now.
They sneaked along the wall in a line, heading towards the exit of the building. Scared students had formed a crowd downstairs.
