    This semester was alsoing to an end. At the end of the year, the college life became busy. In


    addition to facing the endless exams, the students also had a lot of courses to prepare for


    promotion.


    Crystal felt very tired, but she had no difficulty with her study.


    She had always been ranked first in the school and was very well-liked by all the teachers. After the


    last exam today, she went to help the professor do research with one of her ssmates.


    During the break, the two of them went to the corridor to get some fresh air.


    Outside the window, there were only a few rays of setting sun. Students walking around with their


    textbooks could be seen everywhere.


    Crystal dialed a number and still heard the female voice of the system.


    She put her phone down in disappointment.


    After Erik returned to the army, he had nevere back again, nor contacted her. The calls she


    made were either hung up or not answered as before.


    Crystal''s face was filled with worry.


    It had already been a month.


    During this period, she had never seen Erik.


    When her ssmate saw this, she asked jokingly, "What''s wrong? Did you quarrel with your


    boyfriend?"


    "No, I made a mistake. And he was mad at me!" Crystal still immersed herself in her thoughts and


    replied subconsciously.


    "Oh, it doesn''t matter. Just apologize to him. He’ll forgive you!" Her ssmate winked at her and


    said.


    Crystal sighed and stroked the edge of her phone. She really hoped that things would go as her


    ssmate had said!


    Suddenly, her ssmate raised her hand to cover her stomach. "Are you hungry, Crystal? My


    stomach is painful. I really need to eat something!"


    Seeing that her ssmate''s expression was not good, Crystal hurriedly said, "No, I''m not hungry


    yet. You go ahead. Go buy something to eat!"


    "But what about theb? We promised the professor that we wouldplete it today!"


    "It doesn''t matter. I''ll keep working on it now. After you''ve finished eating and brought some food for


    me, we can do it together. No worry. We canplete it!"


    Hearing these words, her ssmate did not refuse. She nodded and said gratefully, "Well, okay. I’ll


    go eat something first. Send me a message when you figure out what you want to eat!"


    "All right!" Crystal smiled.


    After her ssmate left, Crystal put on the mask again and went back to theboratory.


    After washing the bottles and jars she needed, she once again focused her work. After putting down


    the sk, she picked up the pen and began to record it on the notebook.


    Suddenly, there was a loud bang.


    It was like an explosion, and then all the lights in the room went out.


    Crystal quickly squatted down.


    The next second, the wall ss was sted into pieces, with heat waves and ss debris spurting


    in, and thick smoke rolling in.


    The sirens cut through the sky.


    As night fell, a cordon was pulled up in the campus. Several fire trucks had rushed in.


    In the middle of theboratory building that the university had spent a lot of money to build, the thick


    smoke was almost melting with the darkness, and the fire kept spreading. From time to time, red


    fireballs fell down from the building and hit the flower beds on the roadside.


    There was arge crowd of people surrounding the cordon.


    The rescue operation had alreadysted for some time. The teachers and students on the lower


    floors were being evacuated. They all hunched over, covered their noses and evacuated from the


    thick smoke to a safe ce.


    In the zing fire, the firemen kept rushing back into the building to save people.


    In addition to the fireman, there were also soldiers dressed in camouge clothing helping to


    evacuate the people inside.


    Erik had received a task after he returned to the army and just came back this morning. In the


    afternoon, he led the team to the city to have a meeting. Afterwards, they were told that there was


    an emergency, so they were sent here to provide support.


    "It''s so scary!"


    "The fire is so big. Ourboratory building will definitely be destroyed!"


    "At this time, human life is the most important. Fortunately, I''m not inside!"


    The noisy crowd was still in fear.


    Erik helped a student to the outside of the police cordon and handed her to the teacher


    next to him. Then he took out his phone and made a call to Crystal, but he couldn’t get through to


    her.


    He looked up at the building where the fire spread.


    At this time, there were not many people staying in theboratory building. Crystal should be at


    home now. After the rescue was over, he would go back to his department and see if she was there.


    At this time, Aiden, who was also here to rescue, came to his side and said, "The location of the


    explosion is on the 15th floor. We''re not sure how it happened. The fire spreads very fast and


    almost reaches the top floor. Judging from the current situation, it''s impossible to put out the fire in a


    short time! We don''t know how many people were there before the explosion, but the search-and-


    rescue operation is still ongoing!"


    Erik frowned and said, "Okay!"


    At this moment, there was a suddenmotion outside the cordon.


    It seemed that someone was trying desperately to get inside. After the person struggled to break


    free, she bent down and got in from under the cordon. And then she ran straight to Erik.


    She was a student. Her face was pale and she looked particrly flustered.


    Panting, she grabbed Erik’s arm and cried out, "Crystal is in there!"


    This student was exactly Crystal''s ssmate who had worked together with her in theb. She


    recognized Erik, so she rushed directly towards him.


    Erik''s expression changed rapidly. His pupils even dted as he asked, "What did you say?!"


    "Crystal is in the building!" After hearing that theboratory building was on fire, she immediately


    dashed out of the convenience store and ran toward the building. She was now out of breath and


    tears flowed out from her eyes. "We had been helping the professor with the research work in the


    laboratory. I was hungry and went out to eat. She stayed inside alone! I just checked that she wasn''t


    among the evacuated students. She hasn''te out yet!"


    Erik’s mind went ck in an instant.


    He clenched his teeth and his face tensed up.


    He looked up at the raging fire upstairs again. His blood seemed to be solidified and his temples


    were beating violently.


    He nced at the fire truck next to him and picked up a rope.


    Aiden, who was right next to him, perceived his intention and quickly reached out to stop him. "Erik,


    what are doing? I know you are anxious, but don''t be impulsive. Now the fire is about to spread to


    the top floor. And this is not an ordinary residential building, but aboratory building. There are


    many dangerous chemical items in it. Any one of them burns and explodes, it would break


    n


    your rope.


    Erik couldn''t hear anything at this time.


    He brushed off Aiden''s hand and rushed to the building without looking back.


    At this moment, Erik only had one thought in his mind. Crystal was still in the building.
