Breaking Through the Clouds - Chapter 1

 Translated by 231yolu :)

Boom!

The shockwave came with sparks, and the rubble burned and splashed in the explosion. The load-bearing wall could no longer hold on, and a new round of collapse came from afar. The debris in the flames fell from above like a rainstorm, isolating the flashing police lights and the noisy voices in the distance.

"Command center requesting reinforcements, requesting reinforcements!"

"Where's Captain Jiang? Where's Captain Jiang?!"

"Oh no, Captain Jiang has rushed in! Quick, quick, quick! … "

…

The purgatory turned into mottled and twisted blocks of color, and the noise receded like the tide. The palm that was holding on to the wall was burned, and the blood that flowed out of the five fingers was quickly evaporated by the flames. But he did not feel any pain, and he could not hear anything. No matter how many times the same scene was repeated in his dream, the whole world was only filled with his hot and hoarse breathing. Then he raised his gun at the demon figure that was gradually walking out of the sea of fire —

Bang!

The figure was getting closer and closer.

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The bullet entered the illusory shadow, as if it had passed through the air, and it was quietly thrown into the fire.

He loosened his hand, and the ninety-two fell in front of him, making an insignificant click in the sea of fire.

"I'm here," he heard a snake-like voice coming from behind him, with a cold smile, and then he touched his cheek with a hand and said, "Jiang Ting, I'm here."

For the thousandth and first time, he turned back from his dream, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see the figure in the nightmare against the light.

"Go to hell with me," the figure said with a smile, "everything for you is over … forever over."

He closed his eyes, and with his last bit of consciousness, he heard the sound of the fire engine approaching, and the siren from afar. But suddenly, the raging fire swallowed everything, the earth trembled and burned, and countless claws stretched out, dragging him into the abyss where he could not see the light of day …

Three years later, Jianning City.

Jiang Ting opened his eyes.

Sunlight shone into the ward through the chiffon curtains, and the snow-white and clean walls reflected a halo of light. A bouquet of white roses in front of the bed still had dew on them, emitting a faint fragrance. The nurse's soft voice floated in from the gap of the door.

"Bed 538 is going through the discharge procedures today. Tell the chief to prepare a list for the family members …"

"He has been in a coma for a few years, and he can still wake up and be discharged! It can be seen that this person is really … "

"Shh!" The head nurse whispered, "Go do your work!"

The footsteps gradually faded away, but Jiang Ting did not respond.

He maintained the posture of someone who had just woken up, leaning against the recliner in front of the window. The depths of his pupils carried a coldness that he was used to seeing nightmares, reflecting the lush trees and the blue sky in the distance.

A moment later, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and then someone carefully approached. Jiang Ting did not turn around. The person who came stopped only when he was beside him, and softly said, "Brother Jiang."

Yang Mei had meticulously dyed curly hair, a black dress, red fingernails, a platinum bag, and a large envelope that she had just brought out from the doctor's office under her arm. When she saw his gaze, she smiled. "I saw that you were asleep, so I didn't wake you up. The procedures are all done, and the car is downstairs. Let's go. "

Jiang Ting did not say anything, and after a moment, he nodded.

This was a private sanatorium with excellent conditions in Jianning. Even if it was just a life-sustaining device, the fee was not cheap. Furthermore, when he woke up, his body was in good condition, and he must have received considerable care over the past few years.

But no matter what, it was still difficult for him to immediately recover from being in a coma for three years.

"Have you heard? That Bed 538 who has been in a coma for three years is her fiancé!"

"A fair, rich, and beautiful girl is actually so infatuated …"

"It's a sin to be so young. Don't tell me that she won't be able to stand up in the future?"
