Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Upon hearing Mu Tiantian's words, the children instantly felt much more at ease and nodded obediently in unison.

The call connected, and Mu Tiantian, suppressing her inner panic, calmly and clearly informed the dispatcher of the situation. After confirming that the firefighters could respond, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But after only a moment of relaxation, he instantly snapped back to full concentration.

Even a second of lapse could lead to tragedy for the children.

These children have already suffered enough; we absolutely cannot let anything happen to them.

Seeing tragic news reports of fires and people being burned alive must be incredibly painful.

A strong belief sustained her.

She was determined to get the children out.

After hanging up the phone, she had the children stand together in unity, then opened the door to the front room, knocked on the door, and called out to Zhang Huamei.

Zhang Huamei hadn't been sleeping well lately because she was worried about the surgery costs for several sick children, but she slept quite soundly tonight.

However, she wasn't as loud as Wen Kerou. As Mu Tiantian continued to bang on the door with increasing force, she was finally woken up.

Realizing the danger, she immediately woke up the children.

The children were all half asleep, but when they heard about the fire, they were all too frightened to doze off anymore.

Mu Tiantian didn't know how many adults were still in the yard, so she asked Zhang Huamei to call the other adults while she picked up the two children and went outside.

She did a lot of farm work when she was young, so she is quite strong and can still hold a child in each arm.

However, it's a bit strenuous when jogging.

But because she was so afraid that the children would get hurt, her potential was forced out. She didn't care about being tired and walked quickly as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

The flames had already surrounded her, but fortunately there was still room to escape.

She let the two children bury their faces in her shoulder so they wouldn't get burned by the flames.

The two children lowered their heads in fear at the sight of the burning flames and clung tightly to her.

After Zhang Huamei finished calling out to all the adults in the yard, she glanced at Mu Tiantian's retreating figure as she ran out with her child in her arms, feeling both moved and guilty.

So sweet!

If Sweetie hadn't discovered the fire in time, she and the children might have perished in the blaze.

She glanced at the area where the fire was most intense, which was clearly in the direction of the storage room.

It must be Sister Liu, who cooks, charging her electric scooter again. I've warned Sister Liu several times before.

Unexpectedly, Sister Liu, after behaving herself for a while, forgot about it again.

The culprit, Sister Liu, hurriedly brought a child to Zhang Huamei's side, realizing that she had caused trouble.

She thought she would unplug the power before going to sleep, but as soon as she lay down in bed and fell asleep, she forgot about it.

Zhang Huamei gave Sister Liu a cold look. At this dangerous moment, there was no time to blame Sister Liu. She reminded her sharply, "Sister Liu, you must evacuate all the children safely, leaving no one behind. Only then can you atone for your sins."

Without trying to find excuses for herself, Sister Liu nodded solemnly, hugged the child tightly, and rushed towards the front door.

The door was locked, but the fire didn't spread there. Mu Tiantian put the two children down and told them to wait where they were. She stopped to catch her breath for a few seconds, then rushed back.

Thankfully, the room wasn't on the second floor; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a chance to escape.

Zhang Huamei took the key to the gate and ran off with her two children in her arms.

Other adults who can carry two children should carry two children; those who cannot carry two children should carry one child in one arm and hold the hand of a taller child in the other arm.

Everyone shared a clear belief: that all the children must be rescued.

Mu Tiantian returned to the room, and the children were very obedient. Although they were so scared that their eyes were filled with tears and they couldn't help but cry, they stood still and waited for her.

Mu Tiantian felt both gratified and heartbroken.

The more unfortunate a child's life is, the more sensible and obedient they tend to be.

Her resolve to save the children only strengthened.

However, carrying two children out and running back and forth like this is both physically and mentally exhausting.

I just ran out and the fire has been mostly cleared up.

Although the flames rushed over and burned my face a little, I wouldn't get burned as long as I ran fast.

It's better to let the children run out with her than to leave them here waiting.

After a brief moment of consideration, she decided to take the risk.

She saw a kettle under the table, opened it, and saw that there was still water inside. She poured some out and tested the water temperature with her finger. It was lukewarm, not hot.

She took the kettle to the next room and forcefully splashed water on Wen Kerou's face.

This time, Wen Kerou finally woke up.

She opened her eyes, looked at Mu Tiantian holding a kettle by the bedside, and frowned suspiciously.

"Wen Kerou, there's a big fire. I couldn't wake you up, so this is the only thing I can do." Mu Tiantian explained briefly, then put the kettle aside and quickly looked around the room to make sure that none of the children were missing. Xiao Hei obediently led the remaining children to stand together.

Wen Kerou realized the danger and immediately got out of bed.

Mu Tiantian looked at Wen Kerou seriously and solemnly, "The fire outside is getting bigger and bigger, we must take all the children out at once."

Despite her exhaustion, Wen Kerou felt a surge of fighting spirit when she heard Mu Tiantian's urging tone, which dispelled her fatigue.

Her gaze towards Mu Tiantian was somewhat complicated.

In fact, Mu Tiantian could have taken this opportunity to ignore her and let her stay trapped in the fire.

But Mu Tiantian did not do that.

She insisted on waking her up.

Watching Mu Tiantian hurriedly lead the two children out after speaking to her, a feeling of admiration welled up in her heart.

Mu Tiantian stepped out the door, turned to look at Wen Kerou, and frowned, reminding her, "What are you still standing there for?"

Wen Kerou shook her head and quickly led the children out.

Mu Tiantian also organized the children to come out.

She raised her voice again and urged, "Children, you must stick together, hold hands and don't let go of each other."

Just as he finished speaking, a huge explosion suddenly rang out.

I don't know if the gas cylinder in the kitchen exploded.

This sound filled me with unease and despair.

The timid child was so frightened that he cried and trembled.

One child cried, and the other children panicked as well.

Mu Tiantian's heart pounded faster with the child's cries, but she wouldn't allow herself to lose her composure at this moment. She picked up the crying child and patiently comforted her, "Don't cry, sister will definitely take you out, as long as you behave well."

The child sobbed, but still nodded obediently.

Mu Tiantian hugged the child tightly and walked towards the gate through the flames, turning back to look at the children following behind her, and reminded them again, "You must stay close to me, understand?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than another loud bang resounded, startling her so much that her body trembled violently…
