All combat squads acted quickly.
Since this is a key unit for fire protection and a new factory area, various measures are advanced and complete. There are 12 ground fire hydrants in the factory area alone, and there are indoor fire hydrants in each building, all of which have been antifreeze and regularly maintained. A fire hydrant can be used. After the water company pressurized, the water supply is abundant, which gave them a lot of confidence.
Led by Yan Jue, they tied the reflective guide rope in groups of four, and each carried an extra gas mask, and entered the cold storage.
There is a certain distance between the entrance and the fire point. At this time, the overall temperature of the cold storage has not yet risen. When they first entered, they still felt a little cold. But even though the temperature is not high, the smoke has already permeated the entire space, and the fire in the cold storage is very different from other places. Under normal circumstances, the smoke goes up. The lower the body is, the more likely it will be Breathe fresh air, but the cold storage is just the opposite. Due to the problem of specific gravity, the smoke is deposited in the lower layer, which makes the smoke high in poisonous gas content and low visibility, so it is easy to get lost.
They walked, shouted, and left light strips on the road as road signs when they retreated.
"Is anyone there, Fireman! Is anyone there?"
Yan Jue commanded: "Squad 1 and Squad 2 go to the place farthest from the fire point, where there is less smoke, people will definitely run to the place with less smoke."
"There are too many steel frames in here, and the signal is not good. After you separate, you have to adapt to the situation and set up road signs. You must leave enough space for yourself and retreat at the right time." Yan Jue instructed.
"Yes, Team Yan."
The two classes set off in opposite directions, and the rest continued to go deeper. They opened the way with water guns and got very close to the fire point. Ammonia is soluble in water. To reduce the hazards of liquid ammonia or ammonia gas, the best way is to dilute it with a lot of water.
"There are people here!" a soldier shouted, he picked up the girl in school uniform on the ground, and put a gas mask on her.
Seeing that she had short hair, Ren Yi knew it wasn't Gong Feilan, so he helped the soldier untie the guiding rope: "Follow the road signs, and don't get lost."
Yan Jue sent a soldier to escort them out together.
Moving on, they found two more poisoned and unconscious children on the road. Seeing their dying appearance, the soldiers felt extremely uncomfortable. Ren Yi wanted to use the intercom to contact the other two classes or people outside the cold storage several times, and wanted to ask them if they had found a tall girl with long hair, but the intercom was full of noises and it was impossible to contact them at all.
"Firefighters, please call for help if you hear it, firefighters, please call for help if you hear it—" Yan Jue roared at the top of his voice.
The farther they go, the bigger the smoke and the more complicated the road. When they looked back, they could only see two or three cursors behind them, and the others all disappeared in the thick smoke, and those who could only see their huge black shadows The various shelves and equipment stood up all around one by one, like monsters hiding in the thick smoke, which might come alive and eat people at any time.
The sound of drilling was heard from the top of the head and in the distance. It must be that Liang Wei had already determined the demolition point and started to demolish it. After the smoke exhaust was opened, the poisonous smoke would dissipate a lot, but they couldn't wait until then. They are racing against death.
Yan Jue suddenly said to Ren Yi: "Did you hear any strange sounds?"
Ren Yi frowned: "A lot of strange voices."
"No, listen, it sounds like a gas leak, right in front."
"Most likely the liquid ammonia pipeline leaked and vaporized."
"The valve is closed."
"It must be closed, but there is still residue in the pipe."
"Let's go around there."
Just as they were about to make a detour, there was a rattling sound ahead, and several regular knocks came from them.
Yan Jue shouted: "Someone! Go over there!"
Everyone ran to follow the sound, and through the infrared night vision device, they barely found a few figures in the thick smoke, all of them fell to the ground.
The closer they got, the soldiers could clearly feel a sharp drop in temperature, which was the effect of ammonia.
Ammonia is a commonly used material for refrigeration, and it is also a highly toxic chemical. It can damage the human body through respiratory and skin contact at the same time. After the liquid ammonia pipeline leaks, it will quickly vaporize, absorb heat, and the temperature will drop suddenly. Ammonia is both toxic and corrosive. , flammable and explosive, and can also cause multiple dangers such as frostbite, burns, and cell tissue dissolution, which can be described as full of five poisons.
Without any protection, people will be poisoned immediately as long as they are exposed to ammonia at a concentration exceeding the safe level, and may be fatal within a few minutes at high concentrations.
They don't need to think about it, they also know that the reason why the person who asked them for help is silent is probably that the throat is edema or the mucous membrane has fallen off.
When they ran over, they found that the situation was more critical than they had imagined.
A teacher and three students fell in the area where the liquid ammonia leaked. The students were all unconscious, with obvious signs of frostbite on their hands, feet and faces. Only the male teacher was knocking on the iron bucket with his last consciousness. Bleeding out, hair, face, and body covered with hoarfrost, described as horrific.
Not far away, the intertwined liquid ammonia pipes were still leaking air, and a layer of knee-high white mist floated on the ground.
The two fighters rushed to the liquid ammonia pipeline with water guns in an attempt to dissolve the ammonia gas.
Yan Jue commanded his two platoon leaders: "Unload the load and save the people."
Without further ado, Ren Yi also began to take off his equipment.
Yan Jue sternly said: "Ren Yi, you didn't receive orders today, this job is not your turn."
Ren Yi said calmly: "I am a firefighter, and I am ordered to protect people's lives and property, no matter what day it is."
"You..." Yan Jue knew that he couldn't persuade Ren Yi. The more dangerous the situation, the more cadres should go. This is their principle. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you are slower than me, I will laugh at you forever."
"Don't worry, you won't have that chance."
Several people took off all the loads they could unload, because they wanted to grab people out as quickly as possible, as long as they slowed down for a few seconds, the low temperature would erode their whole bodies and slow down their actions, and they were wearing rescue clothes. Clothes are not airtight protective clothing, but ammonia gas is pervasive. If it cannot survive, it is very likely that people will not be rescued, and they will get in by themselves.
The ammonia-smelling terrain ahead was like a swamp into which it was baiting them and staying there forever.
Yan Jue took a deep breath and roared, "Chong—"
Several people rushed over at the fastest speed.
As soon as Ren Yi entered the filled white smoke, he felt as if he had plunged into the ice and snow with his body naked. No, it was even colder than that. It was so cold that his whole body felt like acupuncture, especially his calves, because the ammonia gas was mostly pervasive. Below the knees, the temperature in the sunken area is much lower. There was also a small amount of ammonia gas that got in through the gap between the gloves and the collar, and the skin that touched it felt burning pain, and the eyes were very uncomfortable, and this was still in the case of wearing a gas mask.
They ran in front of the students and teachers and picked them up one by one.
Just the movement of squatting together, the low temperature and the sudden load made it almost impossible for people to stand up. They gritted their teeth, propped up their bodies, and ran back quickly with the person on their backs.
With a hanging breath, he didn't dare to relax until he ran to a safe place.
They put the people on the ground and covered them with oxygen masks, but when they saw that several people were in critical condition, Yan Jue looked at the hands of the people and made a decisive decision: "All of them first, withdraw, we must send them out as quickly as possible."
Ren Yi glanced at the distance—in fact, he couldn't see anything except thick smoke and white mist. He silently prayed in his heart that Gong Feilan had been saved. If the person lying on the ground with his life hanging by a thread was Gong Feilan, He really didn't know how to face it.
They lifted the wounded in twos and twos, and the others opened the way with water guns and identified the signs along the road. With the cooperation, the four wounded were finally successfully sent out of the cold storage.
The emergency personnel waiting outside rushed to meet him.
Ren Yi took off his mask and wanted to ask someone if he saw Gong Feilan, but when he looked around, everyone was so busy that there were wounded people wearing the same school uniform everywhere, and the shouts, cries and burning sounds were like A flood poured into Ren Yi's ears, so much information had far exceeded his brain's computing power, and he could hardly hear anything clearly.
"Ren Yi, Ren Yi!" Yan Jue pulled his shoulders and looked at him anxiously, "What's wrong with you, are you injured? Have you inhaled poisonous gas?"
Ren Yi shook his head: "No, I'm fine."
"Don't go in with us, you can't be so restless. Don't worry, the fire has been brought under control and will not spread. Many students have been rescued just now. Go find Gong Yingxian's sister, I remember Her appearance has changed, and I will pay attention to it inside."
"Okay!" Ren Yi turned his head and ran towards the ambulance. There were more than a dozen ambulances parked at the scene, some of them were driving to the hospital, and some were still doing first aid on the spot. Ren Yi looked at them one by one, holding Gong Feilan's photo. Asked one by one, no results.
Ren Yi hugged his head, the helplessness and fear at that moment were hard to describe in words.
"Ren Yi!"
Hearing Gong Yingxian's voice, Ren Yi's heart trembled violently, he turned around, hoping to see hope from Gong Yingxian's face.
However, the two people's eyes met, and they both saw panic and anxiety in each other's eyes.
Gong Yingxian lowered his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.
If he hadn't been rescued by now, it meant...means he was at least injured.
Ren Yi walked up to Gong Yingxian, and said with difficulty: "The fire has been brought under control, everyone will be saved, and we will definitely find her."
Just as Gong Yingxian was about to speak, the cell phone in his hand rang suddenly. He opened his hand and saw that the name on the caller ID was—Gong Feilan!
