The six people climbed up the stairs, and the temperature on the seventh floor was so high that the body sensation would change with each step. This phenomenon is very rare, which proves that the fire on the seventh floor is more violent than what they observed from the outside. much.
In order to avoid running out of water on the seventh floor, they brought up two water guns from the sixth floor. Laying the hose is a skill that requires long-term training. Among them, laying across floors is the most difficult. It is necessary to ensure that the length of the hose is sacrificed to maximize the utilization rate. If there is an extra corner, the water pressure and jet speed will be weakened. With one detour, the range that the water can reach will be smaller. The water gun is their weapon in the fire scene. The more effective the weapon is, the greater the possibility of victory.
There was only one fire hydrant in the corridor on the seventh floor, and Ren Yi didn't dare to let the soldiers go in to find the fire hydrant. They might get lost, and three water guns were barely enough.
Opening the door of the emergency exit, the heat radiation of the fierce waves is like a ghost that can eat people, scorching people's willpower, and Ren Yi was even forced to take two steps back.
It was too hot to get in.
Sun Defined put the thermometer in: "Damn, it's almost 800 degrees outside."
"There are at least two thousand people in the fire scene." Ren Yi squatted on the ground, hesitating.
To save oxygen, they all took off their masks. There was smoke in the corridor, but they could barely breathe by squatting down.
"Team Ren, what should we do?"
Ren Yi shook his head: "This temperature must not be allowed to enter. If it's so hot, I'm afraid it's not far from explosion."
"If the upper floor is ignited, it may not be able to keep it."
Liu Hui said: "How about we knock on the windows all around? Let's spread the firepower."
Sun Definition analyzed, "The windows have been knocked on, and the fire must have gone up the windows, so the result is not the same."
Ren Yi connected to the command frequency: "Team Chen, how is the transfer of the masses?"
Chen Xiaofei replied: "There are hotels and office buildings above. There are at least two to three hundred people trapped. The high floor makes the search more difficult. The transfer will not be completed in a while. Can you control the fire?"
"... when will the water cannon be in place?"
"I was just about to tell you that the water cannons will be in place soon."
"Now the seventh floor is inaccessible, but if there are water cannons, we can try."
"This water cannon is at your disposal. Not only that, Yan Jue also has a high-pressure water cannon."
"Great." Ren Yi looked at Liu Hui: "Just as you said, knock on all the windows around, so that the temperature in the center of the fire can be lowered. With the water cannon, we can temporarily suppress the fire and go up. We should Can find a suitable time to lower the shutter door."
The fire scene couldn't get in, and the broken windows could only be cooperated by the soldiers outside. Ren Yi contacted Gao Ge to confirm that they had completed the task and returned to the ground, so he asked him to lead the team to use the ladder to destroy the windows on the east and west sides of the seventh floor.
Soon, the water cannon began to hit the fire in the corridor. It didn’t take long for Gao Ge to complete the task again. The fire began to be diverted by the east and west windows. Yan Jue personally brought a water cannon and stopped on the west side of the seventh floor through the elevated platform. Shoot water into the building.
But the temperature of the fire scene will not drop all of a sudden, they can only wait.
After waiting for about five minutes, Sun defined the temperature again, and the temperature really dropped.
"Okay, go in."
"Wait a minute." Liu Hui looked at Li Sa, "Captain Ren, we all know what it looks like inside, but Li Sa doesn't know, it's her first time entering a fire scene, so it shouldn't be so dangerous to enter all at once."
Li Sa frowned: "When was I not with you during training? I know what it's like inside."
"There's a huge difference between training and actual combat." Liu Hui said anxiously, "Besides, you are a woman, and your physical fitness is almost at its limit."
"Squad Leader Liu, I should know better than you whether my physical fitness has reached its limit."
"Do you think I'm arguing with you, you..."
"Stop arguing, wasting time." Ren Yi said, "Li Sa just helped me put down the shutter door on the sixth floor. She has her advantages, and her oxygen should be the most abundant among all of them."
The capacity of the air bottle is the same, but the consumption rate of each person is different. Simply put, the volume, exercise, and emotional ups and downs determine the amount of oxygen consumption. Li Sa is born with a size advantage, and the amount of exercise is lower than that of male firefighters. , and she didn't use air call for at least two minutes on the sixth floor just now.
"Yes, I have 23% left."
"We are short of manpower. At this time, we must trust our comrades in arms. Let's go." Ren Yi put on his mask, pushed open the emergency exit door, and bent over to enter the fire scene. He already had a feeling for the environment and orientation, and led the others straight to the north.
The seventh floor is the most intense and full of burning in the entire building B, which is equivalent to the anger that has nowhere to rise from the building A, all piled up on the seventh floor, and the seventh floor happens to be selling books, toys, sporting goods, stalls Many, dense, and everything is combustible. They used water guns to open the road while walking. If they couldn't open the road, they had to detour, and most of the time was spent on the road.
After a series of tactics just now, although the temperature of the fire scene has dropped significantly, it has only dropped to a level that will not cook people alive. The high temperature permeates everyone's pores, giving them the illusion that they are already cooked. The scorching heat is like a bloodless Ling Chi. The pain gnaws at their flesh and blood from all angles. Coughing, bending over and walking was exhausting, and in the end they were almost crawling on the ground with hands and feet.
Ren Yi knew that they couldn't last a few minutes in this environment, and success or failure depended on it. If he still couldn't find the rolling door within two minutes, he could only declare the mission failed and retreat as soon as possible while he still had the strength.
Just as they were struggling to crawl, Chen Xiaofei's anxious voice suddenly sounded in the earphones: "Ren Yi, Ren Yi."
"exist."
"There are trapped people on the 7th floor of Building A, who seem to be a father and son, trapped near the corridor."
"What?" Ren Yi asked in surprise, "Building A, ahem, isn't there no one in Building A?"
"It may be the security guards who didn't have time to evacuate." Chen Xiaofei said in a deep voice, "Because of the distance and angle of the building on the west side, the raised platform can't get close to the corridor, so we have to drive the car to the north, but more than forty fire trucks and More than a dozen sprinkler trucks are all stuck in place, and it is difficult to move. Yan Jue said that it will take at least six or seven minutes, and the father and son will definitely not be able to wait for the platform. Ren Yi, you are the only ones who can save them now."
"Building A is on fire... It's been almost an hour, and it's... cough cough cough... is there anyone alive?" Sun Yifei coughed violently.
"Yes, ahem, ahem, we are almost reaching the corridor." Ren Yi sped up and crawled forward.
Relying on strong willpower and enduring the pain approaching the limit of their bodies, the six people finally reached the North Gate 1. The corridor was faintly visible, but the father and son hadn't been seen yet.
"Liu Hui, Ding Qing, Xiao Cai, you support with water guns, Li Sa, you guard the hand brake, once we succeed in rescue, immediately put down the rolling door, Sun Deyi, come with me to have a look."
"yes."
Ren Yi and Sun Yiyi ran to the corridor, and finally saw someone on the opposite side in the fire. His cry for help was torn apart by the wind and fire repeatedly, making it appear so weak. He had suffered severe burns in many places, but his arms were still tightly protecting him. A comatose child.
"Help... save my son... help—" the man's cry mixed with pain and despair stung everyone's nerves. At this time, the fire in the corridor was suppressed by the water cannon, and the burning was not violent, but he had to turn off the water cannon if he wanted to pass.
Ren Yi said: "Captain Chen, I saw them, first turn off the water cannon."
Chen Xiaofei took a deep breath: "There are many booths on the corridor, and the fire will start again immediately after turning off the water cannon. You must go back and forth as fast as possible."
"clear."
Sun Yifei grabbed Ren Yi and shook his head: "Captain Ren, the past was too dangerous."
"But people can be saved." Ren Yi looked at the corridor and the burning building opposite. He was very afraid, everyone would be afraid, it was a building that was already burning three-dimensionally, it could ruthlessly swallow everything close to it. He couldn't imagine how that father had struggled in such a hell until now, and ran out to ask them for help. A fully armed professional firefighter might not be able to do it.
Maybe the power to protect the young son is stronger than his own desire to survive.
"Team Ren." When Ren Yi was about to set off, Li Sa suddenly said, "How much air do you have left?"
Ren Yi paused: "It's enough."
"Change with me."
"There is not much left for everyone, adjust your breathing and save it." Ren Yi pressed the intercom, "Stop the water cannon."
"Team Ren!"
Ren Yi took a deep breath. They have done breathing training. At critical moments, using special breathing methods can effectively save oxygen. Now is the time. Without this father and son, he would probably give up the mission and bring the soldiers back safely. It is already very risky to come here, and returning is also a huge challenge. He cannot consume other people's oxygen for his own safety.
As soon as the water cannon stopped, Ren Yi rushed to the opposite side with all his strength, and Sun Defined sprayed the fire from the corridor with the water cannon to cover Ren Yi.
When Ren Yi rushed up the corridor, he noticed that the vibration in the corridor was not quite right.
This corridor is a structure of reinforced concrete sandwiched with glass. After such a long period of burning, most of the steel bars have been deformed. The glass is relatively high temperature resistant and looks intact. However, water cannons have had a great destructive effect on them. The pressure of the cannon is too high, and it is common to collapse the roof and break the floor, not to mention a corridor. Second, the water cannon is intermittent, and the alternating heat and cold will aggravate the shrinkage and deformation of the material.
Right now, Ren Yi didn't care too much, he ran to the opposite side as fast as he could, and found the man who was already on fire by the door. The man was pressing his son on his body, blocking the licking of the flames.
"Save... save..." The man was dying.
Ren Yi rushed over and slapped the fire on the man's body vigorously, but it was of no avail.
Trembling, he pushed the child in his arms to Ren Yi: "Save... save my son..."
The child was very young, only three or four years old. In such a hellfire scene, he was not injured much, but his breathing was weak, obviously he had inhaled a lot of poisonous gas. Ren Yi hugged the child and shouted: "I'll send the child back and pick you up again, hold on, brother!"
The man shook his head, there were dry tears on his gray face, his eyes were lifeless: "Go... go..."
Ren Yi took off the respirator and put it on the child's face, letting him take a few breaths of air. When he tried to put it back on his face, he found that the air bottle had bottomed out.
Ren Yi cursed, and simply took off the heavy air calling equipment. When I turned around, I found that the fire in the corridor had started again, and it had become one piece.
Ren Yi clenched his back molars, stuffed the child into the front of the protective suit, and stepped into the flames without any choice.
Lie Yan scorched against Ren Yi's skin, the severe pain was like countless iron brushes brushing down his flesh layer by layer, he couldn't help crying out in pain.
But just when he ran only a few meters away, there was a violent vibration from the corridor, and the reinforced concrete and glass began to fall off. He was so dumbfounded that he ran towards the B building not far away, towards the hope of life.
"Team Ren!"
Sun Yiyi and others saw Ren Yi rushing out of the fire with the child in his arms, but the corridor began to collapse. Their eyes were blood red, and they wished they could grow a pair of wings.
Accompanied by a loud noise, the middle part of the corridor broke completely, and slammed into the corridor on the sixth floor, causing a chain reaction, smashing through the corridor on the fourth floor in one fell swoop.
The violent vibration made the people on both sides of the corridor almost unable to stand still.
Ren Yi stopped abruptly, there was an insurmountable distance in front of him, behind him was a fire with no way out, and under his feet was a small half of the corridor that might fall down at any time.
He couldn't describe the despair at the moment.
At this time, Gong Yingxian was on the ground, his eyes were fixed on Ren Yi's every move, and there was no trace of blood left on his face. Fear was like an invisible hand, tightly strangling his neck, and he couldn't speak. , unable to breathe, he knew that if Ren Yi could not escape today, there would be no one in this world who could stop him from falling into the abyss.
Sun Defined ran to the break in the corridor on the other side, and with a pair of chapped and bleeding hands, he tied the stone with difficulty: "Captain Ren, catch it!" He threw the rope over.
The rope was thrown on the corridor, and Ren Yi bent over to reach it, but he inhaled too much poisonous smoke, and his physical strength was at the limit, he bent down and knelt on the ground, unable to get up at all. He barely tied the rope around the child's waist.
Liu Hui shouted with red eyes: "Tie yourself! Tie yourself!"
Ren Yi knew that the fractures on both sides were in danger. If he was to be dragged, at least three adults would need to walk up the corridor.
He tied the rope and threw the child over with all his strength. The child fell off the gap in the corridor. The small body was suspended by the tight rope and floated in the sea of fire at a height of more than 20 meters, looking so fragile and insignificant.
Sun Definition immediately pulled the child up, but the rope got stuck on the broken glass front, and it frayed as he pulled. It was a fire rescue rope with extremely high strength and toughness, but it couldn't withstand repeated cutting by sharp weapons. Seeing that the child was still a distance away from them, the rope was about to be cut!
Ren Yi lay on the ground, staring fixedly at the child. Both physical pain and mental torment seemed to be receding from him, and he knew that he was about to lose consciousness, and within two minutes, he would die, either from the high temperature or from suffocation.
He didn't want to die, but, but when he chose this profession, he made long-term psychological preparations for this moment.
It's just that it's harder than expected.
He wanted to live very much, his father was waiting for him, and Gong Yingxian was waiting for him. Gong Yingxian... was on the ground, maybe he was looking at him, if he died, Gong Yingxian's childhood wound would definitely be torn again, and I'm afraid it would never be able to heal again.
However, he really has no strength, and there is nothing he can do.
At least keep that kid alive...
"Platoon Leader Sun!" Li Sa's eyes widened, "What are you doing!"
Sun Yiyi picked up another pair of rescue ropes, buckled his belt, and threw it to Liu Hui and Ding Qing, then flew down the corridor without hesitation, and hugged the child.
Ren Yi stared at Sun Yifei with wide-eyed eyes, another ounce of strength was injected into his body, and he struggled and struggled to get up.
"One, two, three, push hard!" The four of Liu Hui dragged the rope desperately.
But this rope could not avoid the fate of being frayed, the entire fracture was covered with glass fronts, and because the corridor bore the weight of five adults and one child at one time, it began to make horrible noises again.
Seeing that his rope was about to fail, and even the corridor was in danger, Sun Defined raised the child with one hand: "Pull the child up! Pull the child up first!"
Ren Yi looked at the heart-wrenching scene not far away, but couldn't do anything, he could only scream in vain: "Hold on, pull them up quickly."
"Save the child first, hurry up! This is an order!" Sun Yifei roared sharply.
Liu Hui grabbed the rope tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Sa, go, go and pull the child up."
Li Sa crawled to the fracture, half of her body leaned out of the corridor, and reached out to reach the child.
Sun Definition exhausted all his strength to lift the child up. Li Sa grabbed the child's arm, pulled him up, and sent him to a safe place.
With a bang, the corridor sank a bit. From Sun Dingyi's angle, he could even see the steel bars being bent. His eyes were full of despair: "Liu Hui, the corridor is dead, you all go back."
Ren Yi looked at everything in front of him in despair. On one side is the corridor that is about to break, and on the other side is Sun Yifei who is about to fall. He is as stiff as a stone, unable to utter a word from his throat.
Liu Hui and the others did not take a step back, and were still struggling to pull up. The corridor creaked, the cement cracked, and the glass fell.
Sun Definition's face was full of tears, and he touched the buckle of his belt with one hand. "Don't..." Ren Yi stretched out his hand in vain.
Sun Yiyi roared: "We will be brothers in the next life!" He undid the buckle, and his body was like a bird with broken wings, falling into a sea of smoke and fire.
"Ahhh—" Ren Yi let out a mournful cry.
"Platoon Leader Sun—"
Liu Hui and others broke down and cried, Li Sa, who had just turned back, frantically dragged them back: "The corridor is about to collapse, the corridor is about to collapse!"
The moment before the corridor was completely broken, Li Sa barely dragged them back to Building B. They watched the corridor fall, and together with their brother, they were nowhere to be seen.
Ren Yi lay on the ground, crying like dying in his throat, his heart hurt like tearing, he didn't know whether it was reality or a nightmare at this moment. His eyelids were getting heavy, his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and eventually he almost lost the strength to move his fingers.
The person on the opposite side called him desperately, but the voice sounded too far away.
When Yan Jue's elevated platform arrived, Ren Yi was on the verge of coma.
