Ella realized she couldn’t escape through the main door. Her only option was to hide inside. Unfortunately, there was no gasoline in her office.
Additionally, there was a private bathroom inside. She needed to turn on the water source and wet herself first
As she drenched herself, she placed her phone aside and called Jaden…
The call had yet to go through, but the water was already cut off
Even the sluice gate was turned off.

“I’m nearby. Wait for me..
The burning smell and crackling sound of the fire outside filled her with fear.
She filled all containers that could hold water.

Hank immediately went to do it.
Jaden noticed that the fire extinguisher in the corridor was damaged, but there was still a glass that could be broken in case of emergency
