Tremaine grabbed Yesseca's hand and ran forward. The whole carriage was on fire. Yesseca was so petrified that she didn't dare to enter the fiery pit in front of her. Tremaine dragged her by the hand and finally brought her towards the ladder at the end of the carriage.
Tremaine pushed open the fire escape door above the ladder. They climbed up onto the roof of the burning carriage.
The train was still speeding ahead, the wind rushing past them.
Tremaine looked at Yesseca and spoke in a rushed tone, "Follow me and jump down,"
Yesseca took a step back. "I don't want to jump."
The train was moving way too fast, and it was so high up. She thought she would definitely die if she jumped down.
The blazing fire was getting closer to them.
Tremaine's eyes turned chilly.
There was no more time!
Tremaine quickly picked Yesseca up. As she yelped in surprise, Tremaine jumped off the train.
When Sheldon heard the first gunshot, he realized that something had happened.
He immediately ran out to look for Tremaine, but the carriage had been set on fire.
He could have jumped off the train, but he didn't.
He had to find Tremaine.
He was a soldier, and it was his duty to protect Tremaine.
When Sheldon rushed towards the dining carriage, he noticed that Tremaine wasn't there, but the emergency fire door above the ladder was open.
Sheldon heaved a sigh of relief.
It looks like Tremaine managed to jump off the train.
The train then turned into a blazing cage around Sheldon. He was preparing to jump off when he heard someone.
It was a woman's voice.
A strangely familiar woman's voice.
It was coming from the other carriage.
Sheldon hesitated for a moment, then rushed over.
There really was a woman.
She was crouched on the ground, shivering. She had tears streaming down her cheeks and her face looked dark.
She was lucky to have survived the assault by simply staying here.
Sheldon didn't know this woman.
He had no idea how she even got on the train.
He didn't have the time to think about it now.
He grabbed the woman's hand. "Can't you see how fierce the fire is? Come on, or you'll die here!"
Sheldon picked Preslie up to her feet.
He then held her hand and pulled her along as he ran.
She was so petrified from everything that was going on that she couldn't move. She could only crouch on the ground and tremble in fear. Until Sheldon appeared, that was.
At that moment, Preslie thought that Sheldon was a god.
A heavenly being sent from heaven.
Sheldon ran towards the carriage door with Preslie.
He ordered with a commanding tone. "Jump."
Her legs were shaking. "I... I... I don't dare to. I don't want to jump."
Just as she said this, she suddenly felt a strong push from behind her.
Preslie had been kicked off the train by Sheldon.
Sheldon then jumped off right after.
Preslie thought that she was going to die.
After getting kicked by Sheldon, she felt the wind blowing against her ears. Right at that moment, she felt the entire world had stopped.
She thought that she had died.
She had to be dead.
Thump!
She landed heavily on the ground.
She just happened to have landed on her head. She felt her soul leave her body.
She thought, "Have I died and gone to heaven?"
God was so unfair.
She got on this train to find her friend, and now she was dead.
She hadn't even gone on a date before and she also hadn't managed to lose weight yet. She couldn't die yet.
