When they climbed to the seventh and eighth floors, everyone began to pant, and Ren Yi could feel his sweat dripping down his chest, a little itchy.
At this time, Xu Jin's voice came from the radio: "Ren Yi, what floor have you reached?"
"The tenth floor."
"I just received news that someone may be trapped in the elevator on the thirteenth floor."
"Okay, I'll send two people there." Ren Yi asked one of Wang Meng's monitors to take two people to check the elevator, while the others continued to run up.
There are two stairs in the east and west of this apartment, and the fire started near the west side, so they went upstairs from the east stairs. After climbing up to the 21st floor with difficulty, everyone was panting and their legs were weak.
The 21st floor is filled with smoke, but there are few open flames, most of which are burning in the suspended ceiling. Ren Yi leaned on the wall and squatted on the ground, panting, "Take a break for 20 seconds."
Ren Yi counted 20 in his mind, and then directed: "Wang Meng, take them to splice the hose, Liu Hui, come with me to have a look."
"yes."
Ren Yi and Liu Hui put on their masks and went up the stairs to the 22nd floor. The corridor on the 22nd floor was billowing with thick smoke and raging fire. Ren Yi carefully opened the door of the stair compartment, and a turbulent heat wave hit him, causing his pores to explode. Judging only from the stairs, they could barely get in on the east side, and the west side was a Shura field wrapped in red and black flames. No one knew what was going on inside.
Ren Yi asked Liu Hui to stay on the 22nd floor, and he went up to the 23rd floor. The 23rd floor is not the fire floor, but it doesn't look much better than the 22nd floor. Are you ready?"
Wang Meng's voice mixed with noise came from the earphone: "It's connected."
"Let's divide into two groups. You lead the team to search the 23rd floor, and I search the 22nd floor. Everyone, set the lower limit of the air call alarm and the alarm time to 15 minutes. As soon as it sounds, you must immediately evacuate from the fire scene. Do you understand? "
"yes."
Ren Yi left two people to be responsible for opening and closing the valve of the fire hydrant. Holding the hose, he rushed into the fire first.
The temperature of the fire was frighteningly high. Wearing a combat uniform, Ren Yi still felt that his skin was about to be roasted, and every pore was stinging unbearably. It took a lot of courage to take a step forward. He gritted his teeth and said, "Give water."
After the water was brought to the water, the pressure of the water almost caused Ren Yi to stumble. Fortunately, Cui Yisheng hugged the hose together with him. They shot at the fire in the corridor. After barely suppressing the fire and cooling down, they started a house. Search and rescue door by door.
There are a total of six households on the east side, all of which use the same anti-theft door that opens outwards, and they cannot be opened at all. Several people slammed on the door and shouted: "Is there anyone, fireman!"
"There are people on the ground!" Ding Qing's infrared imaging showed a shadow lying on the ground.
They ran over and found two people lying down in the corridor with burns on their backs and arms, but they still had a pulse.
At this time, there was also a faint cry for help from the door of a house, and they took the lead in breaking open the door of this house with tools.
Liu Hui ran in with a soldier of war and harmony, and found a father and son in the bathroom. The father was still conscious.
They carried the rescued people downstairs.
There was no movement in the remaining houses, and they could only pry open the doors one by one. Two of them were empty, and the occupants of the other two houses were dead. The house farthest to the west was exposed to heat radiation due to its proximity to the fire. It was too high, and the anti-theft door was seriously deformed, and two people couldn't pry it open for a long time.
Ren Yi said decisively: "Saw it open."
They changed the chain saw and forcibly cut a hole in the security door that could barely fit an adult.
After cutting, Ren Yi stretched out his foot and kicked open the wooden door inside, and the house was already in a sea of flames, and it was almost impossible to see anything.
They put water guns in and fired at the house. After the fire was brought under control, Ren Yi crawled in from the hole and shouted, "Fireman, is there anyone! Is there anyone!"
"Team Ren, hurry up, the fire here can't be suppressed!"
Ren Yi searched all three bedrooms and three halls. When he found the last master bedroom, he leaned over to look under the bed and found two children.
When a house catches fire, some places have the most signs of escape and hiding, such as windows, doorways, bathrooms, and under the bed. These are the focus of their search, especially children are most likely to hide under the bed.
Ren Yi carried the two comatose children out, tucked them under his armpits, one left and one right, and rushed to the living room.
"Cover, cover quickly!" Liu Hui yelled, and he and a war harmony soldier held the water belt and sprayed around Ren Yi.
Ren Yi ran to the door, handed the two children out of the hole one by one, and finally climbed out by himself.
The war warriors sent the wounded downstairs one by one.
Ren Yi panted hard: "Let's go west, as much as we can."
They pressed water guns and tried to grab a way out of the sea of fire, but the high-temperature steam that evaporated after the water met the fire made their situation worse. They barely found another house, and after struggling to get in, they found it was empty. of.
"Team Ren, there should be a fire ahead...it's too hot, it's really hard to get through." Ding Qing took out the thermometer and stretched out his hand far away, "This distance is more than 700 degrees, and the front must be More than a thousand, the door is melted."
There was the sound of glass cracking in my ear, followed by the sound of loosening from the ceiling above my head, and Ren Yi shouted, "Get out!"
Everyone ran back together, and the flaming ceiling fell on Ding Qing.
They quickly sprayed water on Ding Qing, and the others dragged him out from under the buried object. Ding Qing waved his hands: "It's okay, I'm fine."
Wang Meng's voice came: "Ren Yi, I need support here, let's give up the 22nd floor."
Ren Yi looked at the hell-like scene of fire and knew that it was really difficult to move forward, so he said: "Ding Qing, your battle suit is burnt, go downstairs."
Ding Qing got up and took a look: "It's just a little hole."
"Go downstairs."
"Team Ren!" Ding Qing shouted, "It's not burned through, it's just the surface layer, I'm fine!"
Ren Yi looked at Ding Qing's resolute, bright and even fiery eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, follow me to support Captain Wang."
The situation on the 23rd floor is better than that of the 22nd floor. The two squads led by Wang Meng have successfully rescued several people. It's just that the ceiling and the wall are constantly falling down, and there are traps almost everywhere.
At this time, there were still six war warriors left on the scene, and their air call alarms sounded one after another. They raced against time and worked together to demolish the last two doors, and finally searched the entire floor.
Ren Yi gave the order: "Retreat."
Everyone began to walk down, and just after going down one floor, Xu Jin's voice came through the intercom: "Ren Yi, Qian Yue found a family of eight people on the 24th floor, and they need support."
Ren Yi lowered his head and glanced at his empty breath. It was less than five minutes before he said, "I'll be right there."
"Team Ren..."
Ren Yi quickly said: "There is no fire below the 20th floor, the six of you keep two air bottles for spare, and the rest are for me and Captain Wang."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Hurry up!" Wang Meng urged.
Four of them removed their air bottles and handed them to Ren Yi and Wang Meng.
Ren Yi said: "Go downstairs immediately!"
He and Wang Meng carried two air bottles and rushed up to the 24th floor.
Switched the channel arbitrarily, "Qian Yue, I'm Ren Yi, which side are you on?"
"In the middle, hurry up, there are too many people in this family, and there are four elderly people."
After the two went up, they searched for the direction in the thick smoke, and finally found Qian Yue and others following the sound.
Qian Yue was instructing Zhan He and the soldiers to carry people downstairs, and there was a severe shortage of manpower, so he yelled at Ren Yi: "There are two elderly people with limited legs and feet, you have to carry them down!"
Ren Yi changed an air bottle for himself: "Come on."
At this time, I only heard someone shouting inside: "Auntie, don't take anything! Go! Don't take anything!"
A young young warrior dragged a middle-aged woman out of the house.
Wang Meng observed the waves of fire above his head like a sea tide: "It's about to ignite, we must withdraw immediately!"
Ren Yi picked up an old man on his back, supported the huge load with his trembling calves, gritted his teeth and walked towards the stairs.
"My bracelet, my bracelet!" the woman cried hoarsely.
"You don't want to die, don't take it, go!"
"Stop her—"
Suddenly, Ren Yi felt the floor under his feet tremble violently. Before he could react, he heard a loud bang, and both he and Wang Meng were staggered by the shock and fell to the entrance of the corridor.
Ren Yi got up, his face was pale, he and Wang Meng ran back almost scrambling, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they both froze.
The floor collapsed.
The floor of the 24th floor, that is, the ceiling of the 23rd floor fell, and smashed through the ceiling of the 22nd floor. A two-story pit appeared in front of their eyes.
Those who fell were buried under the ruins and thick smoke, and disappeared without a trace.
Qian Yue roared sadly, and the other warriors of Zhan Hexi were going crazy. While shouting the names of Zhan He He and his friends, they pulled off the ropes on their bodies and tried to save them.
Ren Yi hugged Qian Yue: "Qian Yue, calm down, you can't go down here, it's not safe here!"
"Let go of me! Xiao Zhou is below!" Qian Yue pushed Ren Yi away.
"Go down from the 23rd floor, this place is too high!" Ren Yi shouted, "Qian Yue!"
Qian Yue pulled off the mask, wiped away tears fiercely, and said tremblingly, "Down, go downstairs."
Ren Yi grabbed the intercom: "Chief of Staff and Coordination, support is needed on the 23rd floor, the floor has collapsed, some soldiers were injured, support is needed!"
"receive."
Qian Yue choked with sobs and said, "Ren Yi, quickly take the injured downstairs, and I'll go save my people."
Ren Yi said in a deep voice, "Qian Yue, don't be impulsive, wait for help."
Qian Yue didn't answer, and hurried downstairs with the two of them.
Ren Yi and several others carried the trapped people on their backs and walked downstairs with difficulty.
When they finally returned to the ground and handed over the person to the emergency personnel, Ren Yi's legs went limp and he sat on the ground paralyzed, unable to get up for a long time.
Several people wanted to come and help him.
Ren Yi took off his mask and waved his hand: "Let me sit for a while, how is Captain Qian going?"
Cui Yisheng shook his head: "I don't know, what happened above?"
"The floor collapsed, and a little warrior and harmony soldier was..." Ren Yi's voice trembled, and he could hardly continue.
Everyone fell silent.
"Ren Yi." As soon as the calm and clear voice rang in Ren Yi's ears, it was like a coolness injected into the scorching heat, even if it was only for a moment, it relieved the pain.
Ren Yi raised his head, and saw Gong Yingxian standing in front of him, he was bent over, the afterglow of the setting sun came down from behind, making his handsome face flickering, and he didn't know the worry and heaviness on that face , whether it comes from the rendering of light and shadow.
Ren Yi stared blankly at Gong Yingxian, his eyes became hot, and he had the urge to cry. He wanted to cry very much, because he saw a young Zhanhe warrior buried under the ruins, his life and death were uncertain, but he was the commander, he couldn't cry, but when facing Gong Yingxian, he had a kind of restraint Impulse.
what happened to him.
Gong Yingxian knelt down, handed him a bottle of water, and said in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Ren Yi nodded, took the water and drank it in big gulps, poured the whole bottle of water into it in one gulp, then threw the water bottle away, he shook his head again and said, "Not good."
Gong Yingxian looked up at the tall building: "I know what's in there."
"..."
"I was in there."
Ren Yi knew what Gong Yingxian was talking about, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what he should say. He thought of the two children he had just saved. Did Gong Yingxian, like them, hide under the bed in helplessness and fear
Why, why do such human tragedies happen over and over again? !
Gong Yingxian stretched out his hand towards Ren Yi: "Get up, no matter who did it, I will definitely find out the truth."
Ren Yi was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Gong Yingxian's hand instead, and was pulled up from the ground by Gong Yingxian. He felt the power coming from Gong Yingxian's hand. The powerful and heavy power made him feel a little peace of mind.
Gong Yingxian stared deeply at Ren Yi: "Let's find out the truth together."
