Peerless Cupid System

Having received the answer, Ling Ziqian immediately ran up to the third floor.

The students watching on the ground saw Ling Ziqian's figure and cried out in horror. In their eyes, Ling Ziqian was going to his death!

The 100 points of ambiguity value instantly dropped to 70 points, which was originally intended to help Dou Xiaorong lose weight.

But now that it's a matter of life and death, Ling Ziqian is willing to spend a hundred points at once!

With the help of his ambiguous points, Ling Ziqian still felt an incredibly terrifying heat wave as he ran past the third floor, licking his skin!

It felt like driving on the edge of death!

Having successfully traversed the third floor and arrived at the fourth, Ling Ziqian felt a little unsteady on his feet, not because he lacked strength, but because the soles of his shoes showed signs of melting.

Su Mingxi and the others couldn't possibly be on the fourth floor, so Ling Ziqian quickly ran up to the fifth floor!

Chapter 63 You idiot, you big idiot!

Ling Ziqian appeared on the fifth floor, and enthusiastic cheers erupted from below.

Some of the tall, burly physical education teachers saw Ling Ziqian run up and wanted to go up too.

They thought the temperature in the stairwell wouldn't be too bad, but as soon as they ran downstairs, they were scorched by the heat and couldn't open their eyes, so they retreated in panic.

They returned to their rooms, looking at each other in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost, wondering how Ling Ziqian had managed to get up to the fifth floor.

"Hey, was that Master who ran up there just now?" Shen Qiaoyan also appeared downstairs at the library to watch the commotion. Upon seeing Ling Ziqian, she immediately waved and shouted, "Master, you're amazing! You're my idol!"

As excited as Shen Qiaoyan was, Dou Xiaorong was heartbroken. When she saw Shen Qiaoyan, she cried her eyes out.

Several school leaders also appeared at the scene.

Their expressions were filled with panic. A fire had broken out in the school building, and there were students upstairs. This was a huge deal!

Did you call the fire department?

"They've hit him!"

Did you call an ambulance?

"It called!"

Even if they're in a hurry, the leaders can only ask these questions; they can't offer any real help.

Upon reaching the fifth floor, Ling Ziqian found it difficult to breathe. The fifth floor was significantly warmer than the ground floor because heat tends to rise rather than descend.

The corridor was filled with scorching heat and thick smoke, which explained why Su Mingxi and Cui Qiuzhen were not seen calling for help.

Ling Ziqian didn't know where Su Mingxi and the others were hiding, so he risked burning his throat and shouted loudly, "Su Mingxi, Teacher Cui!"

Su Mingxi, Cui Qiuzhen, and several students hid in the library.

They closed the doors and windows, worried that the thick smoke would get into the library.

While they were discussing how to save themselves, they heard a sound from outside.

In fact, various noises were coming from outside, and Cui Qiuzhen had already called for help.

This time, however, it didn't sound like it was coming from downstairs, but rather from the hallway!

Su Mingxi and Cui Qiuzhen exchanged a glance, both of them hearing someone calling their names.

After listening for a while, their expressions changed instantly, and they simultaneously called out the same name, "Ling Ziqian!"

The two hurriedly went to open the library door and, sure enough, saw Ling Ziqian.

His clothes were soaking wet, his hair was a mess, and his cheeks and arms were bright red, clearly from being severely burned by the heat!

These are not the problem. The problem is, how did he get up here? How did he get up here?

Upon seeing a door open, Ling Ziqian quickly went inside and smiled at Su Mingxi and Cui Qiuzhen.

Cui Qiuzhen closed the door and asked Ling Ziqian anxiously, "Did you run up from the ground?"

Ling Ziqian nodded.

Cui Qiuzhen was overjoyed. "Are you alright? Can you walk up the stairs to the third floor?"

Ling Ziqian scratched his head. "Just now, I could still walk, but now I probably can't."

Cui Qiuzhen and the other students immediately looked downcast. She glared at Ling Ziqian speechlessly, "Why did you run up here in such a dangerous situation?"

Ling Ziqian scratched his head and gave an awkward smile. This accident was caused by Hongxian. If he didn't come up to rescue people, he didn't know if Hongxian would interfere with the fire truck.

Of course, he couldn't say these words out loud. Ling Ziqian scratched his head and grinned foolishly, "I knew you were upstairs. When I saw the building was on fire, I rushed up here."

Cui Qiuzhen was speechless.

Su Mingxi, standing to the side, grabbed Ling Ziqian's arm and burst into tears.

She had just heard Ling Ziqian calling her name. Even though she didn't want to believe it, Ling Ziqian had definitely come to save her!

Seeing Su Mingxi crying like this, Cui Qiuzhen immediately understood, and she turned to talk to the others.

Su Mingxi started crying, and Ling Ziqian was at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Idiot, what are you doing up here? Aren't you afraid of dying?!" Su Mingxi cried and complained to Ling Ziqian.

“We’re already up here…” Ling Ziqian scratched his head awkwardly.

"If you die, how am I supposed to face Xiaorong? Waaah... You idiot, you big idiot!"

Su Mingxi cried and punched Ling Ziqian twice.

Ling Ziqian was about to comfort Su Mingxi when, unexpectedly, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Waaah, you idiot, you idiot... Waaah, thank you..." Su Mingxi cried uncontrollably.

"Don't cry..." Ling Ziqian blushed and felt extremely embarrassed as the others watched.

After a while, Su Mingxi stopped crying, composed herself, and parted ways with Ling Ziqian.

Seeing the young couple separate, Cui Qiuzhen breathed a sigh of relief and went to ask Ling Ziqian, "Did you see the fire truck coming when you came up?"

Ling Ziqian shook his head, and the atmosphere immediately became somewhat gloomy again.

"How's the fire? Has the third floor caught fire?" As a teacher, Cui Qiuzhen remained calm.

"Not yet, the second chemical storage room should have caught fire."

In other words, only half of the third floor was burned, and the other half did not catch fire!

This is a great opportunity! Cui Qiuzhen looked at Ling Ziqian excitedly, “Let’s take down the curtains and tie them together to make a rope to escape!”

They had considered this method before, but because they couldn't go outside to check the extent of the fire, they could only wait for the fire trucks to arrive.

Now that she has the intelligence provided by Ling Ziqian, Cui Qiuzhen is no longer willing to sit idly by and wait for her doom!

With a plan in place, everyone immediately got busy.

Besides Su Mingxi and Cui Qiuzhen, there are three other women and one man trapped here.

Everyone took down the curtains in the library and tied them together end to end.

This is the fifth floor. There are four floors below, each about three meters high. That means we need a twelve-meter-long rope!

Su Mingxi and Ling Ziqian worked together to take down the curtains.

Seeing Ling Ziqian get up high, tears welled up in Su Mingxi's eyes again.

She could hardly believe that Ling Ziqian would risk such a great danger to come up here for her!

He fought with Xu Jiachen for his own sake, helped his parents pay off their debts for his own sake, fought with thieves for his own sake, and rushed to the fire scene without regard for his own life!

Thinking about these things, Su Mingxi's tears fell again.

"What are you crying for? Getting work done is the priority!"

"Ok!"

Su Mingxi quickly wiped away her tears and gave Ling Ziqian a bright smile.

The seven people worked together, and before long, a rope made from curtains, a full fifteen meters long, appeared.

As soon as the library door was opened, a wave of heat and thick smoke rushed in, and everyone scattered in fear.

Ling Ziqian took off his soaking wet T-shirt, tore it into strips, and had everyone cover their mouths and noses.

Ling Ziqian's actions deeply moved everyone.

Seeing Ling Ziqian shirtless, Su Mingxi felt a pang of heartache. "You're going to get burned easily like that!"

Ling Ziqian scratched his head and chuckled, "It's better than everyone getting poisoned by inhaling thick smoke, right?"

None of them were wearing coats, so they couldn't give any clothes to Ling Ziqian and he had to go shirtless.

They walked together out into the sweltering corridor, checked their bearings, and all headed east into the corridor.

The fire started on the west side, while everything was fine on the east side.

The situation was slightly better at the end of the corridor on the east side; at least there was less thick smoke and the temperature was lower.

Even so, everyone was still covered in sweat, and their clothes were soaked.

The seven men looked around and realized it was time to escape; the question was who would go first and who would go last.

Everyone wanted to go down as soon as possible, but the situation on the third floor was still unclear. What if it was unbearably hot when we got to the third floor?

Seeing Ling Ziqian's bravery, one of the boys also decided to be a hero and take the lead. "I'll go first and scout out the situation!"

No one objected; Cui Qiuzhen had already decided that she would be the last to leave.

Ling Ziqian tied one end of the rope to the boy's chest. His expression was very serious. "We'll pull you down later. If you feel too hot and can't stand it, be sure to call us and we'll pull you up!"

The boy nodded, revealing a confident smile.

The teachers and students downstairs saw Ling Ziqian and his group planning to escape. (Is the island doomed?)

They all went to the sports equipment room, moved the sports protective mats over, and piled them up downstairs.

Everyone held onto the rope and slowly lowered the boy downstairs, bit by bit.

The boy was terrified, his head covered in cold sweat, but he kept making the OK sign.

The biggest challenge was when passing through the third floor.

A huge fire was burning on the third floor, billowing thick smoke. Everyone's hearts were in their throats as they watched the boy slowly sink into the smoke.
