C263 Explosives in the Underground Maze (1/2)

Xiao Hexin was more than just in danger, he was at the brink of death right now. On the west side of the orphanage, Xiao Letian, the manager of Expeditionary forces, was holding a beautiful doll-like girl in his arms. He leaned against the wall and dodged the burning debris that was falling from the top of his head.

”Sir, are you Chinese? Did God send you to save me? ” In Xiao Hexin's arms, the little angel girl actually did not cry, she only stared at Xiao Hexin's charred face, not showing a single sign of fear.

Xiao Hexin was one of the higher level soldiers in the new army, so he understood most of the girl's words. He was very surprised, why was this six or seven year old girl not afraid, did she not know how terrifying the sea of fire was?

She suddenly smiled sweetly, as if she understood what the Chinese was thinking. ”Mother nun once said that death isn't that scary, it's just returning to the embrace of the Lord from the world of suffering. I don't have any parents left, and besides Mother nun, I don't have anyone else to love, so I'm not afraid …”

”There's no one left to love? Isn't your nun's mother worth your love? ”

”She's already asleep …” The little girl reached out her hand a short distance away, and in the midst of the raging flames, Xiao Hexin actually saw ashes in human form. It was only later on that he realized it was the principal of the orphanage, the ”nun” that the children spoke of.

”Heavens, just what is going on …” Xiao Hexin reached out his hands to cover the girl's eyes with his hands. ”Don't look, don't look at those flames, make your heart purer, you must always remember Mother Sister's most beautiful time, and don't remember this scene …”

The little girl seemed to have understood Xiao Hexin's words and quietly closed her eyes. Sir, can you tell me what China looks like before I die? Do you live in a house made of porcelain? ”

Xiao Hexin could only respond with a few sentences. Right now, he was completely focused on how to escape from the fire. Behind them was a sturdy brick wall, and in front of them were falling debris. The two of them were already tightly surrounded in a corner.

He really wanted to rely on the water on the blanket to block for a while, then use his speed to rush out of the fire. However, when he looked down, he saw that his blanket was completely dry.

”Dammit, if only I had a way to break through the brick wall behind me. If only Dragon Lord was here, then only his Leaning Mountain can smash through such a thick brick wall …”

”Sir, what are you talking about?” The little girl didn't understand Chinese and took the initiative to ask.

”Nothing, I'm thinking of how to break through this wall. Don't be afraid, I'll find a way to save you …”

”Oh, Mister, I really want to think of a way. In the underground maze, I know of a place where you can hide things that can explode, and he might be able to help you!”

Before Xiao Hexin could react, the little girl had already crawled along the corner of the wall towards the depths of the fire site. After crawling a few steps, she actually turned around and waved at him.

When had he ever seen such a bold girl? How come she wasn't afraid of him at her age of six or seven? And the way he said it was terrifyingly early.

However, he had no choice but to follow the girl's body into the depths of the fire. In the middle of the fire was a burning wooden pillar blocking the way, and it was Xiao Hexin who kicked it away despite the danger of being burned to death. However, when he kicked away the charcoal, he was surprised to find that there was a deformed iron door underneath the flames.

Xiao Hexin was also confused, he actually extended his hand out to open the iron door, but the iron door was burnt to a crisp, but he managed to pry it open.

Beneath the metal door was a dark staircase, from which came a cold wind.

”This is our maze. We often play hide-and-seek. I know what you want …” After saying that, the little miss brought Xiao Hexin inside.

Once they were deep underground, Xiao Hexin finally understood that this place was actually a greatly abandoned wine cellar. In medieval Europe, cellars were an integral part of the urban architecture. These cellars were not only used to store miscellaneous items, but many of them had been converted into wine cellars.

The wars in Europe during the Middle Ages were unceasing. Rich families prepared a few escape routes, and as the days went by, the tunnels in these cellars connected to each other, forming a huge underground maze.

hamburger was still pretty good. If they went to Paris, where would the underground world be able to make them sigh in admiration? The entire city's underground area had been hollowed out.

”There are more than ten basements here. All of them are connected to each other. When there's a big fire, Mother Sister brought us to start running towards the basement …”

The little girl's German was accompanied by a very thick childish voice, making it difficult for Xiao Hexin to listen. However, as he observed his surroundings, he slowly reconstructed the entire story.
