After checking the injuries of the wounded, Li Xiao stood up again.

The number of surviving people on the 6th floor is much less than that on the 7th floor.

3 women and 6 men.

The three women are all in their early twenties, young ladies dressed as office clerks.

There are 6 men, two of them are around 40 years old, and the rest are young people in their early 20s.

As far as the current situation is concerned, except for one wounded who is completely disabled.

Other people's mobility is still very strong.

The number of people is one-third less than before, and the team is more streamlined.

Evacuating from here should be a little easier than before.

Without thinking too much, Li Xiao squatted down and carried the injured on his back.

Quickly secure the two together with the rope.

Prevent too much movement in the future and throw the opponent on the ground.

Taking back the fire hose gun from the tall boy, Li Xiao turned around and said:

"I'm a firefighter, but I don't have a fire suit on me because I just take a day off today."

"I have just successfully sent more than 7 people on the 20th floor to a safe area."

"In the next action, everyone needs to listen to the order."

"Otherwise, any accidents occur at your own risk."

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the toilet.

However, after taking two steps, he found that the people behind him hadn't followed.

He turned his head with some doubts, and he looked at the few cowering guys without knowing why.

Could it be that what I just said is so difficult to understand?

I have specifically explained that more than 20 people have been rescued just now.

Logically speaking, shouldn't he happily follow him and leave quickly?

However, what he saw in his sight was a group of men and women who had regained their despair.

At this time, Huang Guohua also calmed down, and he asked eagerly:

"Are you alone? How did you get down?"

Li Xiao was a little confused, but also knew that now was not the time to waste time, so he quickly said:

"I am indeed alone. I climbed down from the seventh floor by rope."

A girl with a round face said in despair:

"I can't escape. Someone from us has tried it just now, and there is absolutely no way to escape."

"We've already tried it once when the fire wasn't that big just now."

"There is no way to go, the fire exits above and below are all blocked!"

"The elevator is out of service too, we are dead."

???

Looking at the crowd with faces full of despair, Li Xiao was a little strange, what is going on?

The situation with these few people here is very wrong.

Could it be that something happened before that I didn't know about?

Before he could ask, the young man who helped him hold the fire hose just now lowered his head and said:

"We originally had 15 people here, but now there are only nine left."

"We also tried to escape, but those people died, only we survived."

"The explosion came too suddenly. As we walked, the group of people in front were swallowed by the flames of the explosion."

"We didn't react at all. If we hadn't been far apart, I'm afraid we would have died by now."

"They were covered in fire."

"The hair was on fire, the clothes were on fire, the skin was on fire."

"They were screaming like crazy and rolling on the ground."

"They tried to smack the flames on their bodies with their hands."

"They even wanted to rush over to find our help."

"We wanted to save them, but there was nothing we could do."

Having said that, the man swallowed.

His pupils kept shaking violently.

"They were running towards us, but we were too scared."

"We can only run backwards."

"The six of them are like six human-shaped torches, and they were burned alive in the fire."

"Even if you have a fire hose in your hands, it's impossible to rescue us."

"The 6th floor is different from the 7th floor. There are many large mechanical models in the company."

"We've been hiding in the toilet and we've heard explosions like that many times."

"If we run out again, we will definitely be bombed to death."

"Yes, we will definitely be killed."

"We're not going, we're just here waiting for real firefighters to come and get us out."

As he spoke, he himself raised his head and grabbed Li Xiao's arms with both hands.

He spoke frantically:

"You stay here too! It's too dangerous outside, you will definitely be killed if you go out!"

"At first we were worried that we would suffocate to death here."

"But now it's different, with your water gun."

"It will definitely disperse the black smoke."

"It's safe here, let's stay here and wait for rescue!"

A crazy look appeared on the man's face, and veins popped out of Li Xiao's hands.

Li Xiao looked away from the man in front of him.

He glanced around quickly.

After the man finished speaking.

The atmosphere in the toilet is even more tense.

Many people showed the same despair and fear as men.

Knowing a word came to Li Xiao's mind.

Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

Post-traumatic stress syndrome is defined as a delayed and persistent mental disorder in an individual after experiencing, witnessing, or encountering an adverse event, such as a threat of death, or a serious injury, or a threat to bodily integrity.

Li Xiao finally understood what happened.

The reason why this group of people became like this.

It was because I saw familiar colleagues and friends suddenly die in front of me.

The huge spiritual impact shocked and distorted the hearts of these ordinary people.

So much so that they dare not step out of this small toilet.

The tiny toilet has become their safe haven.

A safe haven on a practical and psychological level.

Here their lives are no longer threatened, and their fearful mentality can be calmed for a short time.

This is similar to people who have been bitten by snakes, as long as they see objects that resemble snakes, they will panic and panic.

It's like being cheated on by a scumbag man and a scumbag woman, so in the future, you will always worry about whether your significant other will betray you again.

Fear is a wonderful thing, and often the scariest horror scenario.

It is often not a cemetery full of corpses, a hospital morgue, or an abandoned old house covered in cobwebs.

It's the dark bed under the bedroom, the wardrobe in the corner with the door not fully closed, the fire escape with flashing lights, and the elevator with the door closed.

The same is true of what they are facing now.

They witnessed the death of their companions.

Seeing companions who live with each other day and night, they were blown away by the explosion.

I saw my friends running around in a rage, calling for help.

I saw my colleagues' skins being set on fire, struggling on the ground, then losing their breath, and finally being burned into coke.

After thinking about the cause and effect, Li Xiao felt a little overwhelmed.

I am just a firefighter, not a counselor.

Besides, even if I am a professional psychological counselor, there is a mental illness such as post-traumatic emergency response disorder.

It's not going to be resolved anytime soon.

This is troublesome, and the retreat, which was thought to be easy, has become complicated.
