The tumbling heat wave was coming, and the deep corridor was not completely overheated at this time. Only the part of the wall and door panels suspected of being blown away by the explosion had flames, while the fire in other places was temporarily blocked by the door in the house. But the crimson flames are scrambling to sway outward from the window, from the crack of the door, and from the ceiling, like the mouth of a giant dragon, it is panting, brewing, and accumulating, just waiting for the ready For a moment, he frantically spit out flames that could devour everything.
Cheng Mao glanced at the flames curling up on the ceiling: "The ceiling is already overheated. It is estimated that it will be five minutes away from deflagration at most. Speed up the search. I tell you to withdraw immediately."
"yes."
Two commanders connected the hose to the fire hydrant upstairs to suppress the fire in the corridor, while the others went deep and spread out, looking for the trapped people one by one. Ren Yi went straight to his father's ward run away.
The corridor is deep, and the closer you get to the fire, the bigger the smoke, and you can't see anything two meters away, and it is extremely difficult to see the room number. Ren Yi touched the wall and walked forward, looking for his father from memory. s room.
Suddenly, Ren Yi heard the blank tone that appeared when the intercom channel was switched, and then, Cheng Mao's voice rang in Ren Yi's ear: "Ren Yi, I have violated discipline by letting you in, if something happens to you, my career will be ruined." It's the end, but brother, I admit it. Now I order you to come back safely anyway, not to protect myself, but to not want to lose a brother, understand."
Ren Yi's eyes became hot: "Thank you Brother Mao."
When passing by a dormitory, Ren Yi suddenly heard a few metal knocks coming from inside. He froze for a moment, he knew what it was, at this moment, his heart struggled.
Rescuing people in a fire is a race against time, a few seconds earlier and later is enough to decide a person's life or death, he should find his father and Gong Yingxian as quickly as possible, otherwise any delay will be their lives.
However, now someone is asking for help, right next to him.
Ren Yi couldn't move forward no matter what, he punched the wall hard, almost biting his lip, stood up and opened the door.
An old woman was dying and crawling under the bed. She covered her mouth and nose, and tapped the leg of the bed with her lunch box. The billowing thick smoke was floating in the sky, and she hadn't fully landed yet, but she was already having difficulty breathing and was in a daze. , People will be poisoned if they can't last for three minutes.
Ren Yi ran over, pushed the iron frame bed away, hugged the old man on the floor, turned around and rushed out of the room, shouting at the same time: "There are people here, there are people here!"
He ran back for a while, and a firefighter suddenly emerged from the fog, it was Qu Yangbo.
Qu Yangbo took the old lady from him without hesitation: "Leave it to me, you go find them!"
Ren Yi didn't say much, the two exchanged a firm and trusting look, he turned around and ran back into the corridor.
The further we walked in, the temperature rose sharply, and the fire started right ahead, not his dad's dormitory, but it must be very close to his dad's dormitory, because the fire was raging here.
The fire hose couldn't reach here. If it was pulled to such a deep position, it would be burned through halfway, so he had no water cover and could only rely on himself.
Wearing flame-resistant clothing, it can't block the pervasive radiation of the earth's heat. The terrifying temperature that seems to scald people scorches every pore of Ren Yi. Moisture, not to mention the sharp pain like Ling Chi.
And Ren Yi's daily training is to adapt to such pain.
Out of professional habits, Ren Yi will observe the surrounding fire prevention measures wherever he goes, and he knows that there is a fire hydrant not far from here. He turned back, groped on the wall, and found it quickly. He took out two dry powder fire extinguishers from inside, and opened a path for himself that he had to pass quickly.
He endured the hell environment that ordinary people can't bear, and found his father's dormitory. The dormitory door was deformed and could not be opened. He took two steps back and kicked the door hard.
The door opened, and a wave of fire rushed towards Ren Yi like a beast. He was not unpredicted, so after kicking the door, he fell to the ground immediately, but was still licked by the flames on his back and arms.
The flame-retardant clothing can protect him for a short time. He rolled and slapped on the ground with all his strength, and quickly extinguished the flames, but holes were also burned out in the clothes. The high temperature penetrated the holes like a branding iron and caused pain on his body imprint.
Ren Yi didn't care about these, he got up and rushed in. Most of the house has been overheated, and there is almost no place to hide and stay. People can't get in at all, and they can't see what's going on inside.
His heart seemed to be hollowed out with fear, he shouted: "Dad! Gong Yingxian! Dad!"
No one answered.
Ren Yi opened the way while breathing fire, and rushed in. In the airtight room that was burning violently, the temperature was probably close to a thousand degrees. Staying here for just one second could kill someone. Ren Yi felt that he did not go any further. , the flesh would turn into blood, dripping cleanly along his torso, but he still walked in with inhuman willpower.
The dormitory is not big. If it is not covered by thick smoke and flames, it can be seen at a glance that people usually hide under the bed, by the window, and in the bathroom. It is an empty room, and his father's wheelchair is not there.
Ren Yi turned around and ran out. In just a few seconds, he seemed to be resurrected from the dead.
His dad had limited legs, and he couldn't have walked far without anyone else, maybe nearby. What about Gong Yingxian, where is Gong Yingxian
Ren Yi kicked open the dormitory next door, hissing, "Dad! Gong Yingxian!"
Although his heart was in his chest, it was so painful that it seemed to be thrown into the fire and burned. He was so anxious that he shed tears, but the tears had no value in hell and were evaporated in an instant. Two filthy tear stains were left on his gray-black face.
Where are you, where are you.
No, you have to calm down, calm down!
Ren Yi yelled to himself in his heart. Both his father and Gong Yingxian have rich experience in self-rescue in fire scenes, one from actual combat and the other from books, how would they save themselves in this situation
It is impossible to take an old man in a wheelchair through a corridor that is already on fire and densely covered with smoke.
Ren Yi suddenly remembered that there was a public toilet at the end of the corridor!
Ren Yi turned his head and rushed to the depths of the corridor, avoiding the flames spreading everywhere in the corridor, he found the toilet, the door of the women's toilet was wide open while the door of the men's toilet was closed, a little cloth leaked out from the crack of the door.
There must be someone inside.
Under the influence of high temperature, most of the door frames or doors have been deformed. Ren Yi bumped it and failed to open it. He slapped the door panel hard: "Dad! Gong Yingxian! Did you hear that! Open the door! Open the door!"
There was no movement inside.
Ren Yi kicked and slammed it with his body, the door had been knocked open a gap, he took off the crowbar from his waist, and went to pry the upper door frame that was stuck on the door panel, and after roughly breaking it down, the door was finally broken by him. A slit wide enough for a person to pass through was opened.
Ren Yi squeezed in and took a look, his heart almost stopped beating.
Although the toilet is better than the outside, it is already filled with poisonous smoke.
Ren Xiangrong was wearing a mask and a fireproof blanket and was sitting in a wheelchair with his hands hanging down weakly, while Gong Yingxian fell to the ground, both of them unconscious.
Gong Yingxian was only wearing trousers, and his clothes had turned into water-soaked cloth strips, sealing the door, trying to prevent the deadly smoke from entering, and there were obvious burns on his legs.
Ren Yi rushed over, first took off his mask and put it on Gong Yingxian's face, and felt his pulse by the way, although it was weak, it was still beating persistently.
Gong Yingxian moved suddenly, then slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Ren Yi blankly, as if trying to see clearly, but gradually lost focus.
"Ying Xian, Ying Xian!" Ren Yi caressed Gong Yingxian's hot face and said with tears in his eyes, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Gong Yingxian couldn't hear Ren Yi's voice clearly, and suddenly didn't know what happened, only his eyes were instinctively looking for the focal length. In the blurred vision, a figure swayed. Gradually, he saw an anxious, painful face wiped with soot. Gradually, he saw a small black mole on that face. Focus here.
Memories and reality intertwined in an instant, overlapping and appearing in front of Gong Yingxian's eyes. He saw that in the desperate purgatory eroded by flames, a person walked towards him firmly and fearlessly, stretched out a strong hand to him, and gave him a generous embrace. On the top of the smile propped up by dry lips, a small black mole was burned in his narrow field of vision, which will forever be remembered. The man said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Gong Yingxian muttered helplessly: "Uncle... help me..."
Ren Yi was in pain as if someone was gouging out his heart.
He barely wiped away his tears, and got up to check on his dad again. When he pressed his finger against Ren Xiangrong's carotid artery, but got no response, he froze.
"Dad..." Ren Yi yelled like a mosquito.
Ren Yi frantically felt for Ren Xiangrong's pulse and breath, but there was no response. A death-like cry came from his throat. He laid Ren Xiangrong flat on the ground, raised his chin, clasped his hands, and started CPR.
"Dad, wake up, Dad, I beg you, wake up!" Ren Xiangrong burst into tears, blurring his vision, and he kept pressing Ren Xiangrong's chest, cross-cooperating with artificial respiration, but he couldn't get back any response.
"Dad—" Ren Yi cried out heart-piercingly.
"Captain Ren!" Someone shouted outside the window.
Ren Yi didn't hear about it, and continued to perform CPR, one stroke, one stroke, even if he was exhausted, even if his arms were sore and weak, he would not stop.
The squadron that arrived later lifted up the ladder from the other side of the stairs and saw Ren Yi through the open window. They climbed through the window and pulled Ren Yi away who was almost limp, and carried Ren Xiangrong and Gong Yingxian out of the window .
Many people whispered something in Ren Yi's ear, either impatiently, urgently, or worried, but Ren Yi couldn't understand a word.
"Dad... Dad..." Ren Yi stretched out his hand in vain to grab his father, but there was nothing in his blurred vision, and the whole world exploded and collapsed in front of his eyes. Darkness that never disperses.
Ren Yi forgot to think, forgot to act, he was erected in a trance, the heat wave like purgatory was moving away, the stale air was replaced, and there were shouts, brakes, police sirens, footsteps in his ears, the sound was chaotic, He seems to have passed from one world to another, but he has given up perception.
After an unknown amount of time, a person walked up to him and squatted down. Ren Yi stared blankly ahead, his eyes were out of focus, and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
This person, in a difficult tone as if he didn't know how to organize the language, said slowly: "Old captain, it's Su... Su..." He seemed to have lost his ability to speak, and he couldn't say the next word for a long time. After a long time, he said, "He didn't suffer."
Ren Yi was still at a loss, as if he didn't understand.
The man stuffed a slightly warm object into Ren Yi's palm, choked and said, "It contains the old captain's last words." After speaking, he got up and left.
Ren Yi lowered his head and recognized that it was a mobile phone. He looked at the blood-red play button and touched it lightly with his soft fingers.
After a short pause, a female voice quickly said, "Hello, 119 command center, what can I do for you."
"Cough...cough cough...little comrade, I'm on fire here."
"Please send your detailed address..."
"Listen to me, don't say a word...cough cough...listen to me, and then remember clearly." The noisy background sound made Ren Xiangrong's voice extraordinarily calm and calm, "I am a retired firefighter, I am a retired firefighter. Now I am in Shoukang Nursing Home at No. 8 Yantian Road. The nearest to my place is the Bali Fire Brigade. Do not take the Sunshine Road, where the changing lanes are narrow and prone to traffic jams. There are two fire hydrants. The fire started in the fifth-to-last pantry on the west side of the third floor. The gas tank exploded and caught fire. The furniture and decorations here are largely made of polyurethane. When the fire truck arrived, it must have been out of control. The focus of rescue is to stop the fire In order to spread, the water guns should block the rooms in the four directions above, below, and left of the fire point. After arriving, we first set up a ladder on the southwest side, and the residents here are all elderly people with inconvenient legs or unable to take care of themselves, so they cannot evacuate on their own.”
"Sir... I, I have notified the Bali fire brigade to rush to the accident site. May I ask what your situation is now? Can you evacuate by yourself? Is there a fire around?"
Ren Xiangrong coughed violently twice, and said softly: "I have bad legs and feet, so I can't run away. I, cough, I have something to say to my son. He is also a firefighter, and he is the squadron leader."
The operator was silent for a moment: "Say it."
"Ren Yi, I don't know if I can see you again this time. If I can't, what I'm saying now is my last words." Ren Xiangrong chuckled, accompanied by a series of coughs, "You always feel that I'm at a loss , I finally retired and became ill again. I don’t think so. Really, I told you that if I can live to this day, this luck is like stealing it. I’m content. But, I don’t want to live the rest of my life either. I'm all trapped in this chair, trapped in this sick body, so I have no regrets. This fire is an old opponent and an old friend. Come in the fire, go in the fire, I have won the fire so many times , should let it win me. Cough cough, Ren Yi, having you as a son is the most proud thing in my father's life. You are good at everything, really." Ren Yi trembled and choked, "You I know the reason why you don’t want to get married, hahaha, do you think you can hide it from your father? Officer Xiaogong, very good. I am going to find your mother. Son, you must be well, I will go to find your mother."
The recording stopped abruptly.
The phone dropped from his hand and fell to the ground, Ren Yi hugged his head and cried bitterly.
