Gong Yingxian turned the furious Ren Yi's body around, looked into his eyes and said, "Don't get excited, reduce oxygen consumption, we won't die here, I will definitely take you home."
Ren Yi closed his eyes and calmed down his emotions, even though he was already extremely angry, this was not the time to be angry. He nodded: "Calm down."
"Let's find the ammonia leak first and plug it up."
Following the temperature difference and white smoke, the two quickly found the leaking pipes. All the pipes here are connected to the outside and can be destroyed with hard objects from the outside.
The two searched for things that could be used to plug the leak, and finally found only toilet paper. They stuffed the toilet paper into the hole in the pipe, but it was quickly frozen and shattered when touched, so they had to use a lot of paper towels to remove it. Blockage, temporarily deal with it for a while, but the gas is pervasive, and there is still a small amount of ammonia gas seeping into the machine room.
"Let's do this first, let's put Feilan on a high place first."
Ren Yi walked up to Gong Feilan, stuffed her hands into the pockets of her coat, and then checked whether there were any gaps in her mask and whether there was any exposed skin on her body. Fortunately, it was early spring and she was wearing tighter clothes. After the collar, cuffs, trouser legs, socks and other places where the gas might enter were stuffed with paper towels, the two of them stepped on the stool and put her on the top of the cabinet together.
Most of the ammonia gas will settle and sink, so the higher the place, the safer and warmer it is.
Ren Yi lowered his head and looked at his air call margin: "How much do you have left?"
Gong Yingxian took a look: "There are still 90% left."
"I didn't have time to change the air bottle just now, so I don't have much left. The two of our air bottles add up to enough for us for twenty minutes at most."
Unable to leave here within 20 minutes, their lives will enter the countdown. Once the ammonia gas fills the computer room in large quantities, they will not last long without oxygen.
Gong Yingxian said: "Go and block the pipe, I'll find a way."
Ren Yi grabbed the toilet paper and continued to stuff it into the pipe. The closer to the place where the ammonia leaked, the colder it became. He was wearing gloves, and his hands were numb from the cold, but he still couldn't stop the poisonous gas from leaking more and more.
Gong Yingxian looked around in the computer room. He first rubbed around the door of the computer room, and then searched the entire computer room, but he didn't know what he was looking for.
"What are you looking for?"
"Find something useful." Gong Yingxian said, "Do you still remember how the door of the computer room was locked? Mechanical lock? Electronic lock?"
Ren Yi tried his best to recall: "It should be a mechanical lock." When they came, they were eager to find Gong Feilan as soon as possible, so they didn't pay much attention to the lock. Looking back now, it was a bit strange that such an important place was not locked, and they cared about it. Then mess up.
Gong Yingxian handed the three mobile fire extinguishers in the computer room to Ren Yi: "This is useful." He was carrying a toolbox in his hand.
"Ammonia will not burn without an open flame."
"It's coming soon."
Ren Yi narrowed his eyes: "You, what do you want to do?"
Gong Yingxian didn't speak, but started to dismantle things, first pulled out the wires in the console, stripped off the insulation coat, and twisted the thin wires into thick strands, "Smash that computer case, Help me find a transformer."
"Oh." Ren Yi smashed and pried open the case with a chair, pulled out a transformer and handed it to Gong Yingxian.
Gong Yingxian directed again: "The case of the clock on the wall is made of insulating plastic, find a way to remove it and give it to me. The handles of the two cabinets over there are made of copper, so remove it and give it to me."
Ren Yi took out a hammer and other tools from the toolbox. He was very good at violent demolition, and he took it off after a while.
He handed the things to Gong Yingxian, looked at him bowing his head and didn't know what he was assembling, and asked, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Make a simple electric thermal cutting machine. The copper door is not very thick. If you can break a small opening, you can stick your hand out. I remember that the outside should be a bolt."
Ren Yi frowned and said, "Isn't there sparks?"
"Yes, there is a risk of burning or exploding. I have thought of several methods. To quickly destroy metal, high temperature must be used. This is the smallest spark release. Before the ammonia gas leaks too much, I will cut it later. , you dilute the ammonia with water."
The presence of sparks in the room filled with ammonia gas means that both of them are very clear, and now they can only hope that the concentration of ammonia gas has not reached the limit of combustion or explosion. Ren Yi paced a few steps on the spot irritably. He glanced at Gong Feilan who was still unconscious, and then at Sheng Hope who was separated by a wall. His heart was filled with anger and uneasiness. He grabbed the iron stool and used the stool to The leg smashed against the corner of the glass wall.
He thought he had exhausted all his strength, and there was only a slight crack on the glass.
"Don't smash it, it's high-strength double-layer tempered glass." Gong Yingxian whispered, "You save some oxygen."
Ren Yi put down the stool dejectedly: "What else can I do?"
Gong Yingxian was silent for a while: "Sit beside me."
Ren Yi's heart trembled slightly, and he sat obediently beside Gong Yingxian, watching silently, trying to see more of the face he loved so much through the tightly covered mask, although at this moment he could only see a pair of focused eyes. He couldn't bear to look away.
His air bottle was almost bottomed out, and in two or three minutes, they would have to use one air bottle to inhale oxygen in turn, and by that time, speaking an extra word would be a luxury.
Then, in another twenty minutes, they face the challenge of life and death.
He deeply realized that if he didn't say some things now, he might not have a chance to say them in the future.
Originally, he planned to confess his love to Gong Yingxian on New Year's Eve. If it hadn't happened to his father, what would happen between the two of them now? Maybe they are in a sweet love, maybe they have parted ways, he doesn't know, as long as it is an unknown, he will always have hope.
But if they die, there is nothing left.
Ren Yi suddenly felt sadness coming from it, his brain heated up, and he blurted out in a trembling voice: "Gong Yingxian, I like you." Before he finished speaking, the circles of his eyes were instantly red. He thought that one day when he was going to say this sentence, he must have made sufficient preparations and laid the groundwork repeatedly. It would be best to test it out in advance, predict his success rate, and then muster up his courage to find someone who has a ritual. Sensitive, somewhat romantic opportunity to solemnly reveal your long-hidden love.
But at this moment, his inner voice is like a new sprout eager to break through the ground. He must see the sun at this moment, because this is the only hope left in his heart, buried in the abyss by the threat of death. Death, let him express his love openly. He no longer wants to hide, he no longer wants to escape, he wants to stand in the sun, look directly into this person's eyes, and face his desire that he is ashamed to talk about, and his clean and pure feelings.
Gong Yingxian froze as if struck by lightning, he turned his neck mechanically, stared at Ren Yi with wide eyes, shock was written all over his face.
Ren Yi looked at Gong Yingxian with blurred eyes of tears. He had been secretly in love for so long, and he always thought that there should be a thousand words at this moment, but in fact, this sentence was too heavy, so important that it was worth a thousand words, so he alone Words can no longer come out.
Gong Yingxian couldn't believe what he heard, he thought he was hallucinating from poison gas inhalation.
It took a long time before he came back to his senses, his face was flushed, and various emotions were mixed on Jun's face, making it difficult to distinguish for a while.
Ren Yi was too nervous to breathe, he couldn't see his answer from Gong Yingxian's face.
Gong Yingxian's expression finally condensed into anger, and he grabbed Ren Yi's collar.
Ren Yi's heart turned cold for the most part, he decided to go all out, choked up and said: "You heard me right, I, I like you, whether you feel disgusted or not, I have always, very much liked you, since a long time ago... "
"Shut up." Gong Yingxian's eye circles were also red, "You bastard, why are you saying this now? Is this the fucking time!"
"We're all dying here, isn't it time!"
"No one will die here." Gong Yingxian gritted his teeth and stared at Ren Yi, "I will definitely not let you die here, you...why didn't you say it before, since you didn't say it before, why didn't you just say it later. "
Ren Yi's tears were already streaming down, but he didn't dare to take off his mask, so he couldn't wipe his tears, he was very sad.
Gong Yingxian's tears were also in the circles of his eyes. He opened his mouth and remembered that their lives were still hanging by a thread. The only thing he should focus on right now was how to survive. He unzipped the rescue suit and dug in it for a long time. Taking out a pure white envelope, he threw it to Ren Yi, blushing and said, "Look for yourself." Then he continued to assemble the tools at hand with his head down.
Ren Yi was stunned for a moment, took the envelope suspiciously, and opened it. Inside was a photo—a photo of a lily of the valley specimen.
Ren Yi forgot to be sad for a moment, only confused: "What do you mean?"
Gong Yingxian raised her head, becoming angry from embarrassment: "I can't even see it!"
"What can this tell?"
"… flip over."
Ren Yi turned the photo over, and it was Gong Yingxian's sharp and unrestrained handwriting, which said: It represents my heart.
Ren Yi felt that the oxygen concentration was dropping, and his brain was a little lacking in oxygen, so that he was even more at a loss. In other words, he vaguely understood something, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
Gong Yingxian was still anxiously waiting for Ren Yi's reaction, but seeing that Ren Yi was like a fool, he snatched the photo and almost hit him in the face, angrily said: "The maned lion lizard's skull is heart-shaped, and the tail Pointing at this heart like an arrow, you can't see this, this! You still have 5.2 eyesight!"
"... an arrow through the heart?"
"I like you too! I'm single-minded! You're an idiot!" Gong Yingxian's face flushed red, and she didn't know whether it was from anxiety, shame, or anger. With an IQ of 157, he racked his brains to come up with this self-perfect, intelligent, and meaningful way of expressing his love, but this idiot didn't see it? !
Ren Yi stared blankly at Gong Yingxian.
Gong Yingxian quickly lowered her head, her ears turned red.
Ren Yi finally came to his senses, he pinched the photo, cried and laughed and said: "You, you are... I..." He couldn't believe what he heard, Gong Yingxian said he liked him, Gong Yingxian said like him!
Gong Yingxian fought back tears: "Let's go out and talk about it."
"Is what you said true, I..." Ren Yi's words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak, Yu Xi Dujia's oxygen was exhausted.
Gong Yingxian sensed Ren Yi's strangeness, and said, "Use mine."
Ren Yi pointed to himself and then to him, meaning to use it in turn, and then removed the heavy air bottle from his body, and began to hold his breath.
He had imagined many times what kind of scene it would be when he confessed his love to Gong Yingxian, whether it was happy for everyone or sad, he was ready for it. Now that he got the answer he wanted most, he was so overwhelmed by the phrase "I like you too", this should have been the happiest and happiest moment in his life, but he couldn't laugh heartily, couldn't Mutually exclusive, he can't even say a single extra word, because from now on, oxygen is their life.
Ren Yi just looked at Gong Yingxian affectionately and sadly.
He fantasized countless times that he and Gong Yingxian could be in love with each other, but now this dream has finally come true, but they are about to die.
There is a mixture of sorrow and joy.
They take turns breathing oxygen and holding their breath. Ren Yi kept using toilet paper to block the pipes, and kept turning back to Gong Yingxian, watching Gong Yingxian make a simple electric cutting machine with limited tools.
Ren Yi picked up a pen from the table, wrote on the envelope, and placed it in front of Gong Yingxian.
It said: I like you, I love you, if I can get out alive, I hope we will never be separated for the rest of our lives.
Gong Yingxian glanced at Ren Yi, and lightly touched Ren Yi's mask with the mask—this was a promised kiss.
