Marvel's The Force Awakens
Chapter 32: Fire
"Good morning. Hey, you look a little tired today." Gwen greeted, and then noticed a pair of dark circles under Peter's eyes.
"Um... I didn't sleep well." Peter replied truthfully.
Last night, except for the first three and a half hours of sleep, he almost never closed his eyes again.Although he is now able to enter deep sleep freely, allowing him to be full of energy in a shorter period of time, this amount of time is still too little for him.Taking into account the mental energy consumed in the Force training afterwards, Peter felt that he was worthy of others without falling directly to sleep.
Peter drank the coffee in his hand.He threw the paper cup away and accurately threw it into a trash can six or seven meters away.He shivered, and an unnatural excitement rose from the depths of his mind, dissipating the fatigue a little.
"Now I finally understand why Harry likes coffee so much." Peter sighed.
"Harry, is he your friend?" Gwen was a little curious.
"Well, best friend."
The laboratory door was pushed open again, and Instructor Handel was waiting for them inside.Peter also stretched his waist, steeled himself and walked into the laboratory.A new day of internship life begins again.
Damn, if only internships were as much about catching up on sleep as they are in class.Having said that, I might have to cut back on my nighttime activities a little, and the lack of sleep feels really bad.
The morning activity was to visit the Second R&D Institute on the 30th floor. Since Handeli was not a member of this R&D institute, they were accompanied by another instructor throughout the process.
Unlike the laboratory we visited yesterday, their main focus is on artificial organs and chip implantation.
"Although the human body is one of the most wonderful things in the world, we have to admit that it has its own limitations. And our purpose is to repair its flaws so that it can exceed itself in all aspects limit"
The instructor, whose name Peter had forgotten, was giving a long speech, while Peter was wandering alone and barely listened to a word.
Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed too hasty in agreeing to Weasel last night, but thinking about the ten thousand dollars he had already received, he felt warm in his heart.
They were just following a group of people, not asking him to go up and fight head-on.No matter what happens to this little thing, I can at least escape unscathed.Peter had considerable confidence in himself.
A loud cough came from in front of him, and Peter came back to his senses.Instructor Handley was looking at him with an unkind expression.
Only then did Peter realize that the group was already preparing to go to the next place, and he was the only one standing there blankly.He quickly followed and pinched himself secretly.
"Are you really okay with this?" Gewen asked in a low voice.She was slightly worried, but it wasn't Peter at all. "With your condition like this, can you complete the experiment this afternoon? We are still in the same group today. If I mess up, I will be unlucky."
Peter rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I can survive it."
As it turned out, Peter barely made it through the morning.Handley had already given him a warning because he was distracted from time to time, but after learning that Peter had insomnia, he understood a little more.
"I understand that you are quite excited about this internship." Handley seemed to have figured out something and began to explain to Peter. "But you won't be able to learn anything if you are mentally exhausted, and you may even leave a bad impression on others. Be careful next time."
When it came time for lunch, Peter didn't even finish his free lunch.I found a quiet corner, set an alarm on my phone, and then fell asleep on the table.
He was woken up by the alarm bell.
Opening his hazy eyes, the first thing Peter saw was the fire alarm flashing on the ceiling.He steeled himself and stood up, only to find that the whole scene was in a mess.
Different from ordinary fire drills, when people without training and preparation actually encounter danger, order has long been forgotten by them.All this undoubtedly increases the time required to evacuate people.
Peter saw the fire from across the kitchen.The fire was not small, and there was already a strong smell of smoke in the air.The sprinkler pipes within the kitchen area have been opened, but the water they sprinkled has no effect on the increasingly fierce fire. On the contrary, it has signs of making it burn even more intensely.
At this time, an explosion sounded from inside, and a tongue of flame more than one meter high spurted out of the window. Even Peter, who was more than 20 meters away from it, felt a heat wave hit his face.Screams suddenly sounded from the crowd, and the scene suddenly became more chaotic.
Peter took two steps forward, still a little confused in his mind.At this time, a man rushed out from the burning kitchen with his head lowered and his body bent, running and crawling on the ground.Looking at his dress, he seems to be the chef here
.
He took a few sharp breaths and turned back to look at the kitchen.Seeing the raging fire that had spread, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
"Lisa's still in there" he yelled like crazy. "She's still in there and hasn't come out."
However, this sentence was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the people around him had no reaction at all.They didn't even have time to protect themselves, so who would take the risk to save others in such a raging fire?
At this moment, a second explosion sounded from inside the kitchen, and several hot pieces were blown out.There was another scream, and the chef seemed to realize that he was not completely safe yet, so he quickly got up and ran away.It seemed that the people still trapped in the kitchen had been forgotten.
A hand suddenly grabbed Peter's arm and dragged him away.Peter looked back and saw that it was Gwen.Gewen pulled him hard twice, but found that she couldn't pull him at all.
"Why are you still standing here?" she shouted anxiously. "Hurry up and leave. Oh my god, why is there such a stupid guy like you?"
Peter finally came to his senses, his eyes gradually regained their clarity, and he pushed Gwen's hand away.
"You go first, I will follow later." He said calmly.The next moment, Gwen saw in disbelief that this boy who usually seemed a bit indifferent covered his mouth and nose with a wet tissue, and then plunged into the blazing flames.
As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, the thick smoke that hit his face stung Peter's eyes, forcing him to squint.The wet tissue in his hand allowed him to breathe in the thick smoke for a while, but it wouldn't last long.The marble floor was so hot that Peter could smell the burnt smell of his shoes.
In the brief moment of Force perception just now, Peter had determined the approximate location of the remaining person in the kitchen.This undoubtedly saved him a lot of time, because in this smoke-filled environment, visibility was quite low.
And in this case, every second is precious.
"Damn, this kitchen is really big." Peter couldn't help but cursed secretly.To feed hundreds of people at the same time without delay, this kitchen is naturally not much smaller.Including the freezer storage room at the rear, the kitchen itself is larger than many restaurants.
Just over a minute after he came in, Peter felt that his skin was dry and cracked, and his lungs were experiencing burning pain with every breath he took.Although he could still feel the man's breath of life, Peter knew he didn't have much time left.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and Peter suddenly stopped and took a step back.A piece of the ceiling not far in front of him suddenly fell off and hit the ground, stirring up a burst of dust.If Peter had continued to rush forward just now, this blow would have directly smashed his head to pieces.Without wasting any more time, Peter continued walking forward.
We took two more turns to avoid the two places where the fire was most intense.He didn't know what was going on inside, but the high temperature coming from inside made it impossible for Peter to even get close.This should be where the fire first started.He walked around through the side door, and after more than ten seconds, he finally arrived outside the room where the other party was.A large collapsed shelf blocked the door of the room, blocking Peter's way.
Without any hesitation, Peter rushed directly towards the burning shelf.The moment before he encountered it, the mental power in Peter's mind was outputting at maximum power.A force of force burst out, and a violent airflow appeared without warning, instantly suppressing the flames on the shelf.
Peter grabbed the part of the shelf that hadn't burned yet, and felt a terrible pain coming from his hand.Peter frowned, but didn't let go.He shouted loudly, then used both hands to push the nearly two-meter-high shelf away. .
"Get out of my way"
With a loud bang, he hit the shelf on the ground, sparking a burst of sparks.Peter had to take two steps back. After the dust receded, he finally saw the situation inside the house.
This place was much better than he imagined.There are not many flammable materials in the room, and the fire has not completely spread here.Through the smoke, he could barely see a figure at the other end of the room, making no movement at all.Peter jumped over the shelf, which had begun to burn again, and stepped forward.
A girl in her 20s, dressed as a waiter, was hiding behind an iron cabinet.She had passed out, but her chest was still rising and falling vaguely.The other party was probably trapped here by the collapsed shelf when the fire started, and finally fainted due to lack of oxygen.
Peter put her hands on his neck and hugged her waist.Peter helped her stand up, looked around, and began to look for the fastest way out.
Feeling the heavy weight in his hands, he began to thank himself for his usual exercise.If he had been in physical condition half a year ago, it would have been impossible for him to escape from here with an unconscious person.
After a few seconds, Peter determined the safest escape route. He hugged the girl in his arms tighter, lowered his head and rushed out.
"Um... I didn't sleep well." Peter replied truthfully.
Last night, except for the first three and a half hours of sleep, he almost never closed his eyes again.Although he is now able to enter deep sleep freely, allowing him to be full of energy in a shorter period of time, this amount of time is still too little for him.Taking into account the mental energy consumed in the Force training afterwards, Peter felt that he was worthy of others without falling directly to sleep.
