Last night, Beijing experienced a torrential downpour, which extinguished the sweltering heat of late summer and early autumn overnight, as if the whole world opened up to breathe.
The weather after the rain was very cool, and the entire squadron was training on the playground, preparing for the annual martial arts tournament.
In the previous martial arts competitions, Ren Yi would apply for several team and individual events, but since becoming a squadron leader, he has not had so much free time to train, and it is also difficult for him to compete with a group of young people in their teens and early twenties. Not suitable, but both he and Qu Yangbo will participate in some group events to reflect the collective honor.
At this time, the alarm bell rang suddenly.
Ren Yi looked at a group of soldiers wearing combat uniforms and running with air on their backs, grinning and said, "Let's go, there is no need to change clothes."
A group of people rushed into the garage quickly, and the correspondent on duty ran to Ren Yi's side and reported: "Team Ren, the underground sewage well has been poisoned."
Ren Yi shouted: "Change into emergency clothes!"
The soldiers howled and began to change their clothes quickly.
There are two sets of clothes they usually wear when going out to the police. One is the dark blue fire-fighting uniform with fluorescent strips embedded in it at this time. It is heat-insulated and flame-retardant, spacious and heavy. Fire rescue, much lighter and slimmer.
"yes."
Putting on his clothes, Ren Yi drove out the rescue vehicle and the ladder car, and rushed to the community shown on the police ticket. At the same time, he called the caller: "Hey, who are you, are you the person in charge of the community?"
"I am, I am not, I am a security guard."
"Tell us about the situation."
"Our community, when it rains heavily, it will, it will be flooded, and we will send people down to repair them. Three people did not come up, and then..." the security guard stuttered nervously, "Three people were sent to rescue them, but they did not come up. .”
"Don't send people down anymore!" Ren Yi shouted, "Before you sent people to repair, did you drain water? Did you do air replacement? Did the people who went down have safety protection?"
"I, I don't understand, I don't care."
"What about the manager? What about the property?"
"Beside… "
"Wait, don't make any more moves!" Ren Yi hung up the phone and couldn't help cursing, "An accident happens every year, and every year it is publicized."
Gao Ge said helplessly: "An accident happens every year in the propaganda."
The rescue vehicle drove into the community, and a group of people had already gathered in front of the sewage well, and the property and security guards were lowering the rope in vain.
Ren Yi ran over with his people, and the stench in the sewage well could make people faint. He looked down and saw that the walls of the well were narrow, and the sewage below was rippling. He couldn't tell how deep it was. He shouted : "Where is the person in charge!"
A middle-aged man came over, his face turned blue with fright: "I, I'm the manager."
"You sent people down?" Ren Yi glared at him fiercely, "You didn't drain the water before you sent people down?"
The manager trembled and said: "The water, the water is not deep. The master said it was not deep when he went down."
"So did you do air replacement? Did they wear masks?"
The manager shook his head: "They brought masks and a fire! The fire, the fire is still alive, there is oxygen!"
Ren Yi took a deep breath. Sewage wells that have been closed for a long time usually have thin air, but the presence of air does not mean it is safe at all, because there may be a variety of poisonous gases, such as methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide, each of which is fatal.
Many of those who go down the mine are migrant workers who have no knowledge, experience, or equipment. If the management doesn’t understand anything, they will send people down to die. Many accidents occur every year because of illegal underground operations.
Ren Yi squatted down, gestured at the mouth of the well, about seventy or eighty in diameter, and put it on Konghu. His physique is difficult to get down. He commanded: "Sun Yiyi, Liu Hui, Awen, Xiaotao, Xiaoquan, you five are thin, Get the rope ready."
"yes!"
Li Sa took the camera and started filming, recording the scene is the job of the special team.
The soldiers helped the five people string together the ropes, and Sun defined the front row, ready to go down the well.
Suddenly, Ren Yi stopped Sun Definition, and he turned to look at the manager with sharp eyes: "Did you cut off the upstream water?"
The manager said hoarsely: "I..."
"You fucking..." Ren Yi restrained the urge to hit someone, "Hurry up and turn off the valve!"
The manager staggered away.
Ren Yi rushed to Li Sa and said, "Did you call the police? Let the Hongwu Sub-bureau come and arrest people."
"it is good."
Ren Yi pressed Sun Dingyi's shoulder and gave him a firm look: "Be careful."
Sun Yiyi blinked at Ren Yi, and said with a smile: "This kind of dirty and smelly job, I won't be able to do it. Look, the leader has to pay the price if he wins at cards."
Ren Yi scolded with a smile: "Bitch, go and come back quickly."
Several people put on masks and climbed down the ladder.
Sun Yiyi was the first to hit the ground, and the sewage flooded his thighs. He yelled, "Captain Ren, the water is at least 60 degrees deep. Just in case, call a drainage truck."
"Okay, report anytime."
Ren Yi pressed the intercom: "Team, we need a water pump."
"receive."
The security guard who called the police said: "We have a water pump in the underground garage."
"Take it here quickly."
Sun Yifei walked in cautiously. The sewage pipe was dark, and the depths of his feet were different. The light on the helmet seemed to be shot into a black hole, and its effect was very limited.
Soon, they found a man in a security uniform, who showed that he had come down to rescue people. He was sitting in the well, unconscious.
Sun Yifei and Liu Hui helped him up and handed him over to Ah Wen who was at the back. Ah Wen picked him up, turned back to the mouth of the well, tied him with a rescue rope, and the soldiers above pulled him up.
They continued to walk in and found two more. One was still alive, but the other had fallen into the water because of a coma, and had no pulse. Koizumi and Awen who turned back carried the man back.
Ren Yi looked at the transported corpse and asked, "Sun Yifei, how is the situation?"
"I found the fourth one, and I'm still angry." Sun Defined said, "Liu Hui, Xiaotao, this is too far away, you carry him back together."
"No, you're not safe down there alone."
"It's okay to be the team. I have a safety rope tied to my body. We have walked tens of meters. It is very difficult to walk here. It is too slow to lift alone."
Ren Yi hesitated for a moment: "Okay, report anytime."
Suddenly, a scream came from the intercom, and everyone's hearts sank. It was Xiaotao's voice.
"What happened to Xiaotao?!"
"What, what's stuck in my leg!"
Liu Hui knelt down and wanted to touch it, but he couldn't put the unconscious person down. He said anxiously, "The water is too deep, so I can't see clearly."
Sun defined: "Do you want me to go back?"
Ren Yi said: "No need, Koizumi, Ah Wen, you go back and have a look."
Xiaotao said: "Leave me alone, take the person out first, this person is going to die soon."
They quickly dragged the people rescued by Koizumi and Awen up, and they turned back again to help Xiaotao.
Liu Hui said: "You guys lift this person up first, Xiaotao, don't be nervous, I'll touch it first."
Koizumi and Awen took the people on them and carried them out of the well. The two of them had carried the person back and forth three times, and their physical strength was overrun. Ren Yi asked the two of them to come up and prepare to go down by themselves.
"Captain Ren, how are you going down? It's too narrow." Gao Ge frowned and looked at the mouth of the well.
"Gaoge, you are in command now." Ren Yi said, "I'll go down first, hold my breath, and then you all let me down the air."
"Just kidding!" Gogg yelled, "It's too dangerous, no!"
"I say yes, hurry up." Ren Yi said, "No one can go down."
Li Sa ran over: "Captain Ren, let me go down, I'm the thinnest."
The soldiers present were startled and looked at Li Sa in astonishment.
Gao Ge frowned and said, "Don't make trouble, you can't go down here."
Li Sa said anxiously: "Have I been absent from your usual training, have you ever been lazy? My physical strength is fine, let me go down."
Ren Yi was struggling, when he heard Sun Definition's voice coming from the intercom: "Captain Ren, I found the last two people, and one is still alive."
Ren Yi looked at Li Sa and said in a deep voice, "Bring equipment."
Li Sa turned around and ran back to the rescue vehicle, put a set of airbags on his back, and ran back again.
Liu Hui's voice also came: "Team Ren, Xiaotao's leg should be stuck to the owner by the aging lifting pump pipe, and needs to be sawed."
"I'll take it down." Ren Yi said, "I still have to go down, Li Sa alone is not enough."
Gao Ge couldn't persuade him, so he had to say: "You go down first, and I will send you the Konghu and the chain saw."
Li Sa went down the well first, Ren Yi held his breath and quickly climbed down, he had already held his breath, but he still couldn't stop the pervasive stench, he felt his stomach churning and almost vomited. Gao Ge tied the mask and air bottle with a rope and put them down. Ren Yi quickly equipped himself before taking a deep breath.
Holding the chainsaw, the two explored the depths of the sewage well.
The pipes have not been cleaned all year round, and are full of sundries, sludge, and algae. When stepped on, it is very muddy, with different shades, which makes people feel extremely disgusting, and indescribable filth hangs on the walls of the pipes.
As Ren Yi walked, he asked, "The three of you report the remaining amount of air call."
"32%." Sun defined, "It should be enough for me to bring this out alive."
"Both of us are 39 percent." Liu Hui said.
Ren Yi said: "Definition Sun, I'm sending Li Sa to support you now. Before she arrives, you stay put and don't waste any more oxygen."
"But… "
"No, but, stay where you are."
The air respirators they carry can theoretically last for 45 minutes, but this theoretical value will be affected by multiple factors such as weight, temperature, mood, and exercise intensity. Especially when the amount of exercise is heavy, oxygen consumption is extremely fast. For the sake of safety, they generally require soldiers to evacuate the accident scene when the air content is only enough for 15 minutes. This is because most of the accident scenes have complex environments and terrains, and it is easy to get lost and trapped. The 15 minutes is reserved for emergency situations. time.
The two found Xiaotao and Liu Hui, Li Sa went on to support Sun Yifei, Ren Yi held the chainsaw, and discussed with Liu Hui how to cut.
Xiaotao's leg was stuck under the water, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Ren Yi wiped it for a long time, but he couldn't be sure. He asked, "Is the water pump coming?"
Gao Ge replied, "Here we come, and the water truck is here too."
"Hurry up and smoke." Ren Yi said, "Xiaotao, can you bear it? I'm fine by touching your bones."
Xiaotao said, "It hurts a bit, but it's okay, I can bear it."
Ren Yi nodded: "I don't dare to cut it, I'm afraid it will hurt your leg, just to be safe, let's pump water first, Liu Hui, you go back and change the air bottle, and bring another one for Xiaotao."
"yes."
As soon as Liu Hui left, they heard a strange movement from the depths of the sewage well, as if something had been emptied, and then there was another "booming" sound of water.
Ren Yi cursed secretly: "There is sewage on the top!"
Sewage gushes from the depths of the well.
Li Sa had already seen Sun Yifei, but there was still a distance between the two of them. Sun Yifei didn't stay where he was. He knew that with every second of delay, the hope of surviving the people on him would decrease a little.
Sun defined standing against the wall to resist the impact of the sewage. When the water hit the two of them, the maintenance worker who had fallen into a coma suddenly woke up. He yelled in horror and hugged Sun Daifie suddenly, just like a drowning person grabbing driftwood. power to catch those he clings to.
Sun Yifei was caught off guard and was dragged down by him and dragged into the water. His face hit something hard and broke his mask all at once. came in.
He and the maintenance worker were thrashing and struggling in the dirty and smelly water. He choked on the water and inhaled the poisonous gas, and he began to feel dizzy.
Li Sa yelled: "Platoon Leader Sun!" She ran towards Sun Yifei with all her strength, but at this time the water had covered her crotch, and she was struggling.
"What happened?" Ren Yi asked anxiously.
"Platoon Leader Sun has fallen."
"Definition Sun, Definition Sun! Speak!" Ren Yi shouted.
Sun Definition didn't answer.
Ren Yi said, "Liu Hui, are you back?"
"I'll be there right away. I'll take care of Xiaotao. Go and see Sun Yifei."
Ren Yi desperately ran towards the depths of the sewage well.
Li Sa finally ran to Sun Yiyi's side. The maintenance worker passed out again and fell motionless in the water. Li Sa helped Sun Yiyi up first, and saw that his mask was broken, his eyes were cloudy, and he was semi-comatose: "Platoon Leader Sun !"
Li Sa held his breath, took off his mask and put it on Sun Definition's head. Sun Definition coughed and breathed with difficulty.
Li Sa struggled to lift the maintenance worker out of the water, but he had lost consciousness and could not stand up. Li Sa asked him to sit in the water, raised his chin, and exposed his mouth and nose to the surface of the water.
After Sun Yiyi took a breath, Li Sa took off the mask and put it back on her head. She looked frequently at the way she came, hoping that the man who could make everyone feel at ease would appear as soon as possible.
Finally, a small light source flickered, then gradually enlarged, and a figure ran over with all his might.
Li Sa shouted: "Captain Ren!"
Ren Yi ran up to him, seeing Sun Dingyi's appearance, his face turned pale: "What's going on!"
"Platoon Leader Sun's mask is broken." Li Sa said, "The maintenance worker still has a pulse."
Holding his breath, Ren Yi took off the mask, put it on Sun Definition's head, and pushed him hard: "Brother, hold on..."
Sun Yifei couldn't hold on any longer, and he completely fainted.
