The fire exit dangling in front of the group was just a flimsy-looking ladder that ran down from the apartment roof all the way to the ground.
Being on the ninth floor it looked quite scary to climb down that thing which was supposed to be a legitimate fire escape.
"Umm… Who wants to go down first?"
Lu Chen nervously asked as it was getting dark outside and nobody knew if there were any other surprises waiting for them, particularly not the good kind.
"Now, who is the useless one?" Alex scoffed and stepped forward.
She confidently volunteered herself and started climbing down the ladder that was simply attached to the outer wall of the building with no other guardrails and no support.
The other three, as well as one cat and one dog, nervously watched her take one step at a time and carefully climb down the rungs of the ladder.
At least the ladder felt pretty sturdy and she didn't have to worry about the damn thing breaking off abruptly.
But the peace and calm did not last long.
As Alex descended to the third floor, she suddenly started hearing loud squeaking noises.
She immediately looked down on the ground to find a sort of black mound forming at the base of the ladder.
