Chapter 20: Late Again…
At the same time, in the open space 50 meters away, a tree leaf was falling due to gravity. The leaf landed right into the cradle by the side, covering the baby’s face. The baby cried immediately.
Seeing this scene, the baby’s father, who had walked away because of smoking, hurriedly walked over and removed the leaf. After ensuring that the baby was okay, the baby’s mother immediately scolded the father and told him to stay away from the baby when smoking.
The father could only laugh bitterly at his wife’s scolding. He found that there was not much cigarette left, so he simply walked a few steps toward the trash can here and threw the cigarette butt into it. It was worth mentioning that if such an incident didn’t happen, the father would throw it into another trash can that was 20 meters away.
After this small half of the cigarette was thrown into the trash can, it did not go out. Instead, it was still burning. After about 3 minutes, an old lady came over and threw a bag of trash into it, covering the cigarette that was about to go out.
Then, the trash in the bag was ignited, but the fire was not big. There were a lot of wet things in the trash can too, so the flame could not be ignited. There was a faint green smoke coming out of the trash can immediately, then the wind blew this smoke to the open space that was 20 meters away.
There were many camping tents in the open space. The tent closest to the trash can was empty. The second one was the one Fang Linyan stayed in! The fire in the trash could probably only burned for about 3 minutes before it went out. No one noticed such an episode at all, even the cleaner who cleaned the trash cans was no exception because this kind of thing is so common. Sometimes, even the exterior of the trash can was burnt to black. This was just a small case in comparison to that.
However, no one knew that the smoke from mixed trash lit by the cigarette butt actually contained a lot of nitrous oxide. This was a common inhalation anesthetic in clinical practice!!
Of course, Fang Linyan in the tent couldn’t feel all of this, but he yawned 2 minutes later and couldn’t help leaning against the pillow next to him.
“Why am I getting tired? It’s fine. I’ll just take a rest.”
He thought so logically.
However, after leaning on the pillow, he felt more sleepy. Fang Linyan thought in his mind,
“It’s fine. I’m just closing my eyes to rest. I definitely won’t fall asleep. Eh, something odd seems to be happening? Whatever, what am I going to put inside it???…….”
Then,
Eh hem, there was no then. He started to snoring slightly…
This time, Fang Linyan slept very sweetly. He vaguely had a sweet dream. He seemed to have completely recovered… until a thought came into his mind,
Probably? It seems? It seems, maybe? I have something to do?
At first, this idea was just lingering in his mind, but in the end, Fang Linyan was shocked! Yes, what time is it, I have to rush over!
This caused him to bounce off the bed at once. After rubbing his sleepy eyes, he saw that the pointer of the alarm clock was ruthlessly pointing at 10:25 am!!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!
Fang Linyan realized that he was destined to be late again!!
At this time, he really felt that his mouth was full of bitter water, and he was even in an urgency of urination. He felt like his lower abdomen was going to explode. In a hurry, he simply stepped out of the tent and peed on the plant wall next to the tent. However, halfway though, the fat management aunty next to him had already shouted furiously,
“What are you doing!!”
At this time, Fang Linyan was really helpless. He pulled up his pants immediately, threw a 10 yuan bill amid the shout of the aunty and fled.
Then, when he came to Baisheng Road No. 3, he saw thick smoke rising from a distance. Fang Linyan’s heart suddenly had an ominous premonition. When he rushed to Baisheng Road No. 3 with an optimistic mentality, he already felt like his lungs were going to explode. He stuck out his tongue and gasped like a dog, but the scene in front had completely despaired him.
Because there was no Kes Coffee at all.
At this time, it was 10:46 am. The location of Baisheng Road No. 3 was originally a small building, but now only most of the ruined walls remained. There was also a deep pit, releasing clouds of black smoke into the sky.
In addition, there were several wounded people around, holding their heads and groaning. Blood was flowing from their ears. Probably, this was the reason why there were few onlookers around, otherwise, Fang Lingran didn’t need to think about getting close.
Looking at the scene before him, Fang Linyan was also dumbfounded for a few seconds. However, he soon realized that he didn’t actually have much choice because his advanced lung cancer was only temporarily controlled, not cured.
Therefore, he could only make up his mind and muttered to himself, “It’s better to be late than never”, then he pulled down the cap on his head to cover most of his face and rushed toward the scene of the explosion. When he approached, he smelled a burnt protein smell. As for the source of this smell, Fang Linyan didn’t dare to think about it.
Then, he started looking for something anxiously in the ruins. Yes, which was the coffee and the black wallet in the instructions.
Although this place didn’t seem like a “cafe” here and he had been late for at least 10 minutes, Fang Linyan decided to execute the instructions of the mysterious text messages to the end.
Because he had tasted enough benefits before.
After searching for more than 10 seconds anxiously, Fang Linyan found an instant coffee machine nearby. Although this thing was slanted and buried mostly by the collapsed sand and stone, the faucet was still intact. Not only that, there were still several disposable paper cups scattered beside the coffee machine.
Upon seeing this scene, Fang Linyan immediately picked up a cup, then he rushed to the instant coffee machine, opened the faucet forcefully, and wanted to take a cup of coffee, but there was no liquid flowing out of it.
In anger, Fang Linyan kicked the instant coffee machine fiercely. But after kicking it, he noticed that the machine was tilted, then a collapse occurred, The whole machine unexpectedly in a rumble.
At this time, Fang Linyan realized that there was a basement here, but the entrance to the basement was buried by the previous landslide. His foot happened to trigger a chain reaction, exposing the stairs to the entrance of the basement.

Can he still remedy his mistake like last time?
