"Ren Yi, Ren Yi!" Yan Jue and a soldier carried Ren Yi onto the platform truck, and he put his air call on Ren Yi's nose and mouth.
Ren Yi's eyelids kept falling, he pushed Kong Hu hard, and a dry moan came out of his throat. He forced the last sliver of sanity, and weakly grabbed Yan Jue's cuff: "Sun Yi... Sun... Sun... Definition..."
Yan Jue looked at his messy face and felt heartbroken: "Stop talking."
"Sun... definition..." Ren Yi's tears flowed down his cheeks.
Yan Jue stroked Ren Yi's hair, his lips were moving, but he couldn't speak, his eye circles were already red, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
The two soldiers lifted the seriously injured father onto the platform, and the platform moved away from the corridor and the fire at the fastest speed, and then descended towards the ground.
The turbid and cold air poured into Ren Yi's body, followed by sad cries at the scene, accompanied by the cold wind full of coke smell and the hazy sky, it was so oppressive that people could not breathe .
Ren Yi struggled to get up, but was pushed back on the stretcher. He let out a low growl, and he was very angry, but he didn't even know who the anger was directed at.
Suddenly, a warm, strong hand took his hand.
Ren Yi was stunned, and in his blurred vision, he saw Gong Yingxian's pale and anxious face. He opened his mouth, and all the grievances and pains he had been holding on to burst out at this moment. His tears gushed out wildly, and he begged for help vaguely: "Where is Sun Yiyi? You save him... Ying Xian... you go… "
Gong Yingxian's heart aches, how can he tell Ren Yi the cruel truth? He could only tightly hold on to Ren Yi's hand, which he was unwilling to let go of for the rest of his life.
"Get out of the way! Don't surround the wounded!" The first responders pushed away Gong Yingxian and Yan Jue, and put Ren Yi on a respirator, but Ren Yi suddenly struggled fiercely, roaring silently like a trapped animal.
The first responders had to give him a sedative.
Ren Yi looked helplessly at the hazy and low sky above his head like the doomsday, and fell into the darkness.

Ren Yi had multiple high-temperature burns on his body and inhaled poisonous gas. He was in a coma in the hospital for nearly three days before waking up.
Both Gong Yingxian and Qu Yangbo were guarding in the ward. When Ren Yi woke up, their faces were tense and their brows were deeply furrowed. They were not only worried about Ren Yi's body, but also worried about his emotions.
Ren Yi opened his eyes and stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling above his head for a long while before his thinking ability gradually returned to his brain. He is no stranger here, he has been in and out of Hongwu Hospital several times over the years.
He moved his eyes down and looked at the two people beside the bed, one on the left and one on the right. The pain on their faces and the stiffness of their bodies made him puzzled. Why did they look at him like an enemy? He is still alive.
Yes, he is still alive, but his brother who fell from a height of more than 20 meters...
Holding his last hope, he asked Qu Yangbo in a trembling voice: "Definition Sun..."
Qu Yangbo's eyes turned red, and he was about to cry in the next second.
Ren Yi let out a long breath, feeling empty in his body, as if there was nothing left.
Gong Yingxian really wanted to comfort Ren Yi, but he didn't know what to say, the language was too thin and frivolous at this moment. He could only hold Ren Yi's hand and hold it tightly.
"Every...every mission." Ren Yi's heart throbbed endlessly. This kind of grief and self-blame could tear people apart, "I swear, I will take everyone back safely."
"It's not your fault." Qu Yangbo choked up, "Ren Yi, it's not your fault."
"I'm the squadron leader, and I brought them in." Ren Yi said tearfully, "It's all my fault for anyone not to come back, how...how can I explain to his parents, just such a son... There is... his girlfriend... how can I... "
Gong Yingxian took a deep breath, and reluctantly said: "Platoon Commander Sun saved a three-year-old child at a critical moment, and his family will understand his choice. Ren Yi, this is not your fault, this is a crime."
Ren Yi turned his head slowly, stared at Gong Yingxian, and said in a trembling voice: "It's... arson."
"It's arson." Gong Yingxian said coldly, "Evidence has been found at the scene."
Ren Yi clenched his fist tightly: "Is it Zi Yan, is it Zi Yan!" "It's not sure yet, but it's very likely." Gong Yingxian closed his eyes wearily, "Ren Yi, believe me, I will definitely catch the murderer."
Ren Yi beat the bed with his fist excitedly, with hatred in his chest.
Qu Yangbo pressed Ren Yi's shoulders, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ren Yi, calm down, you are not seriously injured. No matter how much you blame yourself, you have to remember that the most important thing now is that there are still a lot of people in the squadron. People rely on you and rely on you, and Sun Yifei is still waiting for you to avenge him."
Ren Yi bit her lower lip, letting tears flow down her face.
"I still have to go back to the squadron to deal with the affairs. You should take good care of your illness and come back early." Qu Yangbo wiped away his tears and left sullenly.
As soon as the door of the ward was closed, Gong Yingxian immediately hugged Ren Yi tightly into his arms: "Ren Yi, I'm here, I'm here."
Seeing Ren Yi's remorse and guilt, Gong Yingxian felt that his heart was going to be crushed. The Ren Yi he knew was always passionate and shining like the sun, able to infect everyone around him, and he had never been so painful and vulnerable. .
Ren Yi tightly hugged Gong Yingxian back, as if this was his life-saving straw, he buried his face in that warm and generous chest, and let out a dull cry.

Later, Ren Yi learned that the fire in the shopping mall killed four people, injured more than 30 people, and caused a direct economic loss of 70 million yuan.
In the end they rescued the father and son. The father was seriously injured and died in the hospital. The mother of the child died of illness a few months ago, so the father often took the child to work. Suddenly, a three-year-old child, There will be no parents.
During the days when Ren Yi was hospitalized, soldiers and leaders of the squadron came to see him one after another, but he was always depressed.
Gong Yingxian investigates cases during the day, and goes to the hospital whenever he is free, and almost stays in the hospital at night. The two of them didn't communicate too much, most of the time, Gong Yingxian accompanied Ren Yi in silence.
After being hospitalized for a week, Ren Yi insisted on leaving the hospital, and no one could stop him.
After being discharged from the hospital, Ren Yi never dared to visit Sun Zhiyi's parents. The organization had offered condolences and pensions to them, and the funeral was scheduled for next Monday—the day that happened to be the day Sun Zhiyi joined the squadron seven years ago.
These days, the atmosphere in the entire squadron has been very depressed. The playfulness and laughter in the past only existed in memory, and everyone's heart was filled with grief and indignation.
On this day, while the soldiers were having their morning exercises, Ren Yi went into the cadre dormitory alone and walked to Sun Dingyi's bed.
Although they are no longer soldiers after the firefighting restructuring, they still maintain the style and habits of soldiers. The quilt on the bed is folded into tofu cubes, and the things on the table are neatly arranged, and nothing has been touched.
Ren Yi sat on Sun Yifei's bed, suddenly, as if the door of the dormitory would be pushed open in the next moment, and Sun Yiyi, who had returned from morning exercise, would come joking and chatting about the game he watched yesterday and what he had for lunch. I can even recall every line on Sun Definition's face when he laughed.
If only nothing happened, if only a nightmare. With a creak, the dormitory door was pushed open.
Ren Yi suddenly raised his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but after seeing the person coming, his eyes dimmed again.
Cui Yisheng looked at Ren Yi in surprise: "Captain Ren, you..." He saw that Ren Yi was sitting on Sun Dingyi's bed, and his eyes changed.
"Why are you back?" Ren Yi asked flatly.
"I'm not feeling well, I've asked for leave."
"Take a good rest." Ren Yi stood up and wanted to leave.
"Team Ren." Cui Yisheng gritted his teeth and asked hesitantly, "That day... If I went up earlier, would I..."
Because he had insufficient air breathing capacity and his rescue suit was damaged, Ren Yi ordered him to go down and change his clothes, and brought up a few spare air bottles. After he went down, he reported the internal situation to the commander, changed his clothes, took the bottle, and returned. It took no more than ten minutes before and after, and Ren Yi had already led the team in.
Would it have ended differently if he had been earlier
Ren Yi interrupted him: "Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you."
Cui Yisheng's eyes turned hot: "Platoon Leader Sun and I are fellow villagers. When I first came here, I didn't adapt to the northern climate and coughed for more than a month. He took good care of me."
Ren Yi took a deep breath and bit his lip lightly.
"Team Ren, tell me, we want to save others all day long, but sometimes we can't save others, and sometimes we can't even save our own brother." Cui Yisheng wiped his tears, "Do you remember that boy who was stuck in the windshield?" On the glass, the young man bleeding dry, he begged us to save him, we saved him, but he was still dead, I always thought, what is the point of us...doing all this?"
Ren Yi turned his head, with tears lingering in his eyes, he said softly: "We have saved more people than we failed to save, and this is the meaning of what we do."
Cui Yisheng shook his head lightly, with a deep sense of powerlessness on his face.
Ren Yi really wanted to comfort Cui Yisheng a few words, but found that those words could not even comfort himself, how could he persuade others, he could only pat Cui Yisheng on the shoulder, and almost escaped from the dormitory.
But where could he escape? Sun Dingyi's shadow was everywhere in the entire squadron.
This was the first time he faced the sacrifice of soldiers after he became the squadron leader.
He still remembers that when he was a child, his father sometimes became very painful, depressed, and irritable. At that time, there were more safety hazards, fewer fire protection measures, and the sacrifice rate of firefighters was much higher than now. During his service, he faced the departure of his comrades several times. In the most serious Baosheng chemical factory explosion, four people in his squadron died at one time, and this is not even the squadron with the highest sacrifice rate.
How did his dad survive
Can he make it through
