I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar

It was ten o'clock in the evening, when the Henry Hotel was most crowded.

Chen Chen and Bai Gou were hiding in the shadows of the hotel parking lot, carrying large backpacks on their chests. In the backpacks, they had already packed the gasoline mixture in glass bottles.

They were waiting for Shi Dakai's signal. Once the other party confirmed that the thermite bombs had been placed, they would immediately start spreading tinder in the parking lot, creating a fire that would attract everyone's attention.

Chen Chen originally planned to hire gambling dogs to do this job, but after careful consideration, he found that such direct "destructive work" could not be trusted in the hands of unreliable gambling dogs. , instead of betting on whether they have the courage and whether they can successfully complete the task, it is better to go out in person and evacuate immediately after the arrangement is completed.

After all, the security around the parking lot is much weaker than that of the Henry Hotel, and there are no high walls or guardrails around it. They can easily evacuate the parking lot after spilling fuel, and then use the remote control device away from the hotel. ignition.

This is very safe. The only relatively difficult point is that it cannot be discovered by sporadic security guards.

However, even this is not really a big problem.

Because this is not Macau after all, there is no fixed standard for parking lot management. In the corner, Chen Chen even saw a few gambling dogs who had lost all their money sleeping under other people's nanny cars.

Similarly, the security guards in the distance also looked listless. Their wages were not high, and they couldn't receive tips from customers for guarding the parking lot. It was a bit embarrassing to ask them to have any "motivation for work."

Therefore, under this situation, Chen and Chen's actions were almost unimpeded.

They successfully completed the survey of the parking lot environment, successfully found the ignition route, successfully determined the wind direction and combustion range, and completed a simulated evacuation.

According to the simulation, it only took them two minutes from splashing to evacuation to final ignition.

Everything is ready, the next thing to do is to wait quietly.

In order to conceal his identity, Chen Chen also rummaged through the trash cans like a gambling dog, but it was obvious that every trash can here had an owner. Before he could even take the things out of the trash can, he immediately Was scolded and driven away.

Seeing the menacing appearance of the man, Chen Chen walked away quickly and wisely. The security guard glanced at them when he heard the movement, but did not move at all.

The vigilance of these people was much worse than Chen Chen expected.

This means that today's action is almost half successful.

After finding a corner and sitting down again, Chen Chen took out his mobile phone and confirmed the situation with Shi Dakai and Bai Gou again.

Shi Dakai, who was on patrol in the Henry Hotel's casino to spy on the movements of two gambling dogs, had everything going well. He confirmed that the gambling dogs had booked their rooms and gone upstairs, and their luggage had not been searched in any way.

On the other hand, White Dog determined his own ignition route.

"I have a total of about 10 vehicles here, and they can all be covered."

"There are a few decorative shrubs nearby. I also threw a bottle into them. It felt like it should burn."

"In addition, I saw a lot of plastic building materials on the construction site on the side of the parking lot. The fire should be very big if it burns."

"I keep two bottles in reserve. If the parking lot cannot be burned, I will find an opportunity to burn the construction site."

"Captain, is your idea okay?"

"No problem, let's start setting up."

Chen Chen answered decisively.

Then, he hung up the phone and stood up, took out a bottle of gasoline from his backpack, quietly unscrewed the cap, and placed it at his feet.

As long as Shi Dakai reported that the gambling dog had left the room, they would immediately start taking action.

Time passed by, and the Henry Hotel was still full of people. They had no idea that this place, where countless wealth and sins were gathered, would soon face a disaster.

Chen Chen couldn't help but wonder, faced with such a thing, were these gambling dogs excited or regretful?

They may get the "thrill of revenge against the dog village", but more importantly, maybe it is a kind of regret that they have lost the only chance to make a comeback, right?

After all, no matter how much they criticize Gouzhuang, as long as the chips are placed in front of them, they will still come to the table without hesitation.

Because in their hearts, they will always be the chosen one. No matter how bad the dog farm is, as long as they are lucky enough and the opportunity comes, they can still turn around.

Otherwise, how could those two gambling dogs decide to continue gambling without hesitation after hearing that "there is a jammer"?

10,000 US dollars is not a small number. If you work hard, it is enough for many people to start a new life, even if they are heavily in debt.

But in fact, they didn't realize that there was another way to go.

It makes people sad, but also makes people angry.

However, Chen Chen didn't have time to stay for them.

Because, his phone has rang, and Shi Dakai's voice has come out:

"Fourth Brother, I'm ready here, you guys hurry up and move."

"Okay, here we come."

Chen Chen kicked over the glass bottle on the ground, and then began to shuttle through the parking lot as fast as he could without attracting the attention of security.

Glass bottles were put down one after another, and the spilled gasoline was connected. After a distance of 50 meters and covering 15 vehicles, Chen Chen and Bai Gou completed the rendezvous.

He put down the backpack in front of him, took out the ignition device and filled it with gasoline. Then he immediately left the parking lot with the white dog, quickly ran to the corner of the street opposite the Henry Hotel, and dialed Shi Dakai's phone number again. Telephone.

"No. 3, start evacuation."

"Okay, I'm at the door, you go ahead."

On the phone, Shi Dakai's voice was slightly nervous. Chen Chen saw the shadow walking quickly out. The moment he passed through the hotel door, Chen Chen took out another mobile phone and dialed the ignition number.

The arc flashed slightly, and the gunpowder and alcohol vapor in the ignition device were ignited. Then, the gasoline poured outside exploded.

The flames burst into flames, and the gasoline that had not had time to evaporate was connected by other combustion accelerants. In just a few seconds, half of the parking lot turned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

The security at the Henry Hotel was completely confused. They had no idea where the fire started.

Some people yelled to get the fire extinguisher, but most people just stood there blankly, watching the fire burning more and more at a loss.

In fact, there is a golden time to deal with fires. If the fire can be put out quickly before the initial fire materials are burned out and other flammable materials are not ignited, generally speaking, the development trend of a fire will be quickly contained.

But the problem is that even in some developed countries, fire protection work is not yet mature. How can it be better in a poor place like Lao Cai?

Someone ran out with the fire extinguisher, but they didn't even know how to open the safety bolt of the fire extinguisher.

After finally opening the safety bolt and pressing the valve at the fire point, the fire extinguisher just spit out a ridiculous burst of white smoke and declared a misfire.

In just two minutes, the fire quickly developed to an almost uncontrollable level, and the temperature became higher and higher. Even though he was hundreds of meters away, Chen Chen still felt the heat wave coming towards his face.

Shi Dakai had already walked out of the hotel and joined Chen Chen and Bai Gou. The three of them stood across the street and watched like other ordinary people watching the excitement, listening to others whispering about the sudden fire.

"This fire is so big that it shouldn't be extinguished, right?"

Someone in the crowd spoke.

"It can't be extinguished. The car is already on fire. It's a waste to extinguish it."

"I'm afraid this parking lot is going to be burned down. Run away quickly. If the hotel is set on fire, there will be a big problem."

"Why did it burn?"

"Who knows, it suddenly started to burn. Maybe it was a car leaking oil."

"With such a big fire, the people in the hotel still won't evacuate?"

"I don't know. It's money but life. That's what dog betting is like."

There were more and more people watching, and the discussion was getting louder and louder. At this moment, the door to Henry's Hotel finally opened.

The guests inside filed out, and for a moment, Chen Chen even felt a little surprised.

He thought that at least it would have to wait until the fire burned for a while before these people would realize the danger and start evacuating.

However, now that the evacuation has been carried out smoothly, it is time for my next plan to begin.

Chen Chen waited patiently. After 20 minutes passed, when he saw the flow of people at the entrance of the hotel gradually dwindling and all the security personnel gathering in the lobby to clear the place, he realized that the time had come.

The guests have completed their evacuation and it's time to light the thermite bombs.

He nodded to Shi Dakai, then took out his cell phone and dialed the number that was about to detonate the entire building.

After a brief pause, the call was disconnected.

Chen and Chen looked at the Henry Hotel building, patiently waiting for the explosion.

But a full ten seconds passed, and the explosion he was expecting didn't happen.

Just when he thought the detonation device had malfunctioned and the operation had failed.

A room on the fourth floor of the hotel facing the street suddenly exploded into a dazzling bright yellow.

Under the high temperature of 3,000 degrees, the entire room was instantly covered by the metal heat flow. In the confined space, flashover occurred almost instantly.

The flames burst into flames, and everything in the room began to burn rapidly.

Curtains, stalls, furniture.

Immediately afterwards, the unburned aluminum powder and oxidant burned the wall, and the flames quickly penetrated the door and began to spread to the corridor.

The smoke filled the air, and the thermite with the blessing of a large amount of PP powder emitted unparalleled power. Through the window of the room on the third floor, Chen Chen even saw a scene that shocked him extremely.

The floor has been burned through.

From the ceiling, flames are dripping

The fire brigade had already arrived, but several fire trucks in the entire old neighborhood were still parked in the parking lot. They had no time to deal with the fire inside the hotel.

The only opportunity has been missed.

The entire hotel corridor was quickly engulfed in flames, but in fact, the fire started on more than just the fourth floor.

The thermite bomb in the room on the 19th floor had also exploded and started burning from top to bottom.

Within 5 minutes, the fire spread to adjacent floors, and the last few people in the building who were trying to put out the fire evacuated.

Within 10 minutes, thick smoke enveloped the entire building.

In 15 minutes, the elevator shaft was engulfed.

At this point, even if the most professional fire brigade comes, there is no way to save the situation.

Under the chimney effect, the fire also started to develop in the elevator.

It took 20 minutes to burn from the 4th floor to the 6th floor, but it only took five minutes to burn from the 6th floor to the 15th floor!

Flashovers occurred one after another on a floor-to-floor basis. Under temperatures of thousands of degrees, even the least flammable materials began to burn fiercely.

From the time the fire started to when the entire building was engulfed, it took less than an hour.

Explosions sounded one after another, and the fire in the lobby on the first floor was particularly fierce. The flames even ignited the parking lot where the fire had been extinguished again.

There was no way. The fire trucks and firefighters evacuated the hotel after confirming that no one was in the hotel.

All they could do was to cool down the surrounding buildings to prevent the fire from spreading.

The Henry Hotel, which was originally a landmark building in the old street, has now become the most dazzling torch in the night.

In its sinful life, perhaps only this moment of destruction was truly astonishingly gorgeous.

This shocking scene silenced all the onlookers. Bai Gou opened his mouth and whispered as if talking to himself:

"Is this fire so fast?"

Chen Chen nodded and replied:

"normal range."

"When the MGM fire broke out, the source of the fire was just a small leakage circuit, and it was even inside the wall."

"The initial flames smoldered for more than ten minutes before finally breaking through the wall and burning."

"The flames were not very big at that time, and the fire started in a restaurant with plenty of water."

"But even in this case, the fire quickly spread to the entire first floor hall, burning the entire first floor to waste."

"Nowadays, a high-rise building like the Henry Hotel, which may not even have automatic sprinklers, can last for an hour, which is considered very strong."

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Bai Gou nodded.

"It's amazing. Water and fire are merciless. I really feel that water and fire are merciless only today."

"I thought it was nothing in Hexinzhou last time, but this time."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Dakai suddenly grabbed their arms.

Then, he spoke:

"I saw Wei Chaoren!"

Looking in the direction of Shi Dakai's eyes, Chen Chen immediately noticed the man who was surrounded by security personnel and was yelling angrily.

His movements were hysterical, and his voice was filled with endless anger.

Chen Chen can completely understand his anger. After all, this is an industry that he has worked hard for his entire life.

But the angrier he became, the more amused Chen Chen felt.

Didn't you expect that?

Wealth gained through sin will eventually be burned in sin.

It's a pity that under the current circumstances, it is impossible to kill Wei Chaoren directly.

There are too many people and the guards are too tight. If you kill him, you won't be able to escape.

If only I had a gun at this time.

If you were to blend in with the crowd and shoot him, no one would be able to spot him.

Chen Chen sighed in disappointment and said:

"Forget it, let's go first."

"us."

However, before he finished speaking, Wei Chaoren in the distance suddenly made an unexpected move.

He dispersed his security personnel and sent most of them to the front of the hotel to put out the fire and calm the guests.

As for himself, he boarded his iconic Lexus again with only a driver and two guards.

Chen Chen's eyes lit up.

This is an excellent opportunity.

The enemy will not always make mistakes, but he will not never make mistakes either.

And as long as you catch the mistakes made by the enemy, you can bring victory.

He turned to the white dog and asked in a low voice:

"Gasoline, how many bottles do you have left?"

Bai Gou was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Two bottles."

"enough."

Chen Chen stared closely at the Lexus slowly walking through the crowd.

Behind it was boundless fire, and soon.

It will also be submerged in fire.
