When the fire truck arrived at the scene, Ren Yi was still sitting in the car, looking at the overturned semi-trailer truck and the unidentified burning tank rolling to the ground from a distance, his scalp was already numb.

He informed all the soldiers who went to the police through the intercom: "Put on the mask before getting out of the car."

"yes."

The reason for the rollover of the truck could not be seen from the scene, but according to the caller, it was to avoid the electric car that suddenly changed lanes, and the electric car had long since disappeared. There were more than 20 metal tanks loaded with chemicals in the car. At this time, they rolled all over the ground, some of them leaked unknown liquid, and there were two flowing fires on the ground.

A rear-end car was rear-ended, and the surrounding crowd and vehicles were hiding far away, but several men were trying to smash the glass of the rear-end car.

Ren Yi jumped out of the car wearing a mercury-colored chemical-resistant suit, waved his hands and shouted: "Everyone back off, all back off!"

A man coughed and shouted: "There are, there are children in the car!"

Ren Yi ran over and pulled them away one by one. Seeing that they were all coughing and their conjunctiva were congested and swollen, he said urgently, "This thing is poisonous, you must leave immediately!"

When they heard that it was poisonous, several people panicked. Gao Ge and several soldiers ran over and escorted them to the side of the road.

Ren Yi leaned on the car window and looked in. A woman with a head injury was slapping the glass of the car feebly, shouting "Help", and there was a child seat in the back seat of the car.

"Sun Yiyi, bring the pliers and the support rod, her legs are being held down by the dashboard!" Ren Yi commanded, "Liu Hui, take someone to see the driver."

"yes!"

The woman cried: "Save my daughter first, is it going to explode? Save my daughter first!"

Ren Yi comforted: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely rescue you." He glanced at the burning metal can, feeling restless. It was already late at this time, and with the cover of the smoke released by the fire, it was impossible to see what was written on the jar unless they got close, and now they didn't dare to approach rashly. It was already a very high risk to rescue people.

Is it going to explode? He doesn't know either.

Sun Definition ran over: "Team Ren, when will Team Liu arrive? Not sure what it is, and we dare not put out the fire."

"They're stuck in traffic, and there's a chemist on the way."

Liu Hui, who had already climbed onto the front of the overturned car, shouted, "Captain Ren, the driver is unconscious. I don't know if it was the impact or the poison."

Just as Ren Yi wanted him to go down to save people, he saw that the third metal tank was also on fire. He gritted his teeth: "Liu Hui, withdraw."

Liu Hui froze for a moment: "I'll go down and hang him up, it'll be quick."

"Get down! Immediately!" Ren Yi yelled, "Everyone stay away from the vehicle, Gao Ge, you stay with me." After he finished speaking, he was about to pick up the hydraulic pliers in Sun Dingyi's hand, "You too."

Sun Definition didn't give him: "The three of us, hurry up."

Ren Yi looked at his mother who was crying in despair in the car, and took a deep breath: "Speed."

Sun Yiyi used hydraulic pliers to prop up the deformed car door. Ren Yi and Gao Ge worked together to stuff the support rod into the cockpit, and propped up the depressed instrument panel little by little, freeing the woman's legs. At the same time, Sun Yiyi had already opened the door. The door of the back seat carried the child out.

The three quickly left the scene and sent the mother and daughter to the ambulance.

Liu Hui followed behind Ren Yi: "Captain Ren, the driver may be dying, let's rescue him."

Ren Yi said in a deep voice: "We are not professional in handling dangerous chemicals. If there is an accident, it may cause a large number of casualties. I can't take this risk."

"Give me five minutes."

Ren Yi sternly said, "No way!"

Liu Hui hesitated to speak, but Gao Ge winked at him and shook his head.

Ren Yi looked around anxiously, took out his mobile phone, and wanted to make another call to Gong Yingxian. Only after they were sure of what was going on at the scene could they find a way to deal with it. They were too passive now.

Before the phone was dialed, a black jeep had already crossed the intersection diagonally, and the vehicles on the scene had been evacuated. It stopped directly beside Ren Yi unimpeded, making screeching brake sounds.

Opening the car door, a pair of long legs in a suit landed on the ground, with shiny leather shoes stepping vigorously, and walked in front of Ren Yi in a few steps.

Seeing Gong Yingxian's tall figure and calm expression, Ren Yi felt inexplicably at ease: "Chemical-proof suit." He said.

Gong Yingxian looked Ren Yi up and down, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief seeing that he was intact.

Ding Qing ran to Gong Yingxian with the chemical protective suit he had prepared.

Gong Yingxian put on the chemical protective suit and moved forward a few meters: "Captain Ren, briefly describe the situation at the scene."

Ren Yi quickly said that combined the caller and his observation: "The name of the chemical should be written on the tank, but we dare not take the risk to look at it now."

"No, I know what it is." Gong Yingxian said firmly, "Steel tank transportation, colorless liquid, musty smell, spontaneous combustion after combining with oxides in the air, releasing poisonous gas, this is triethylaluminum, generally It’s for activators, something most chemical plants have.”

"Then what should we do now? Will it explode?"

"The storage tank is unpressurized and hidden in an inert gas. If it just burns, it will not explode for a short time, but the characteristic of triethylaluminum is that it will explode when it meets water. Fortunately, you didn't spray water to extinguish the fire."

"I'm not sure what it is, we won't use fire extinguishing agent blindly." Ren Yi said, "Even foam?"

"Foam doesn't work either." Gong Yingxian asked again, "Is there anyone else in the car?"

"The person who hit the car has been rescued, the truck driver is still inside."

Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice: "As soon as possible, the driver must have been poisoned, inhaling this stuff can cause pulmonary edema."

"If it is determined that there is no risk of explosion, we will go to rescue people."

Gong Yingxian grabbed Ren Yi: "Not spraying water does not mean that there is no risk of explosion. It has rained from time to time in the past two days, and the air humidity is not low. The chemical properties of triethylaluminum are very active, and it may explode even if it is wet. In addition, The combustion has caused pressure in the tank, so the fire must be controlled first, and then the nitrogen in the tank should be released to decompress, otherwise there is not only a risk of explosion, but the extinguished fire may also re-ignite."

Ren Yi thought for a while: "I sent a squad to rescue the driver, and then we used dry powder to put out the fire first."

"Do you have a dry powder fire extinguishing agent for triethylaluminum?"

"Hazardous chemical teams may have them, but they're stuck on the road and we only have regular dry powder."

"It's too late, once the explosion poisonous smoke will spread, the downwind area is all residential areas, first cover it with dry powder, at least to control the fire." Gong Yingxian said again, "Triethyl aluminum is highly corrosive, don't touch it to the skin."

Ren Yi nodded: "Liu Hui, take your soldiers to rescue the driver quickly."

Liu Hui received the order, turned and ran to the truck.

Ren Yi picked up the dry powder and went to put out the fire, Gong Yingxian also followed.

Ren Yi looked at him: "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to open the tank valve and release the nitrogen."

"No, you can't go there." Ren Yi stood in front of him and said seriously, "This is our job, and non-professionals are not allowed to enter the scene."

"I'm a professional." Gong Yingxian pointed to the clothes on his body, "You only have a few sets of chemical protective suits. Since I wear one, I have to use it."

"You have come in handy enough, you can't come over." Ren Yi emphasized his tone.

The two glared at each other through their gas masks.

Gong Yingxian took a step closer, and because they didn't grasp the distance properly, their gas masks collided.

Ren Yi's heart almost skipped a beat, the mask was transparent, for a moment, he thought that Gong Yingxian's face would stick to his, and that Gong Yingxian's pale pink lips would...

Gong Yingxian just turned his head back a little, but still stared at Ren Yi condescendingly: "When I catch the arsonist, can you stand by and watch?"

Ren Yi was speechless.

"I can't either." Gong Yingxian walked towards the truck without hesitation.

Ren Yi had no choice but to run quickly with a few soldiers and spray the dry powder on the burning storage tank.

Gong Yingxian checked the triethylaluminum storage tanks one by one to prevent more liquid from leaking.

When he was about to climb onto the truck, Ren Yi hurriedly said: "Don't go up, Cui Yisheng, stop him quickly."

Cui Yisheng and Ding Qing tried to stop Gong Yingxian, but Gong Yingxian was still neatly supporting with one hand even though he was wearing a bulky chemical protective suit, and jumped onto the overturned truck. Check it out, just in case."

"Gong Yingxian, you fucking listen to the command!" Ren Yi was angry, "What you are wearing is only a chemical protective suit, not a gold bell cover!"

Gong Yingxian was walking among a pile of dangerous chemicals that might ignite spontaneously at any time, and his voice was still calm as usual: "Put your fire out, I'll come down right away."

Ren Yi glanced at Gong Yingxian anxiously and worriedly, but had to focus on putting out the fire first.

After a few minutes, the fire was brought under control. Although it was not completely extinguished, especially if there was still a flowing fire on the ground, the fire on the storage tank had been suppressed by dry powder.

Gong Yingxian also finished checking the other storage tanks. He jumped off the truck and opened the valve of the storage tank to release the pressure with his thickly gloved hands.

The storage tank made a barking sound, and everyone was terrified.

Gong Yingxian glanced at Ren Yi, whose face was covered with sweat, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't be afraid."

Ren Yi couldn't help but also took a look at Gong Yingxian, those deep eyes were calm like a sea without wind, and there was a mysterious and huge power hidden under the sea surface, they were extremely contagious, making Ren Yi My heart also calmed down.

Finally, the nitrogen in the three fire storage tanks was released, and the truck driver was rescued by Liu Hui and others.

It didn't take long for the hazardous chemical treatment team to arrive at the scene. They brought professional fire trucks and decontamination trucks, put out all the flowing fires, and began to clean up the scene.

Although the accident was dangerous, but fortunately did not cause too much damage.

Everyone took off the gas mask that had been stuffy for a long time, Ren Yi threw the mask to the soldiers around him, grabbed Gong Yingxian by the collar a few steps up, and slammed him against the tree behind him.

A trace of surprise flashed in Gong Yingxian's eyes, he held Ren Yi's wrist, but he didn't exert any strength.

Ren Yi's face was a bit distorted: "At the scene where I was exercising command, no one was allowed to disobey my orders. Who told you to make your own decisions, ah? Do you fucking know how dangerous it was just now!"

Gong Yingxian frowned: "Let go."

Everyone also persuaded: "Captain Ren, forget it."

"Dr. Gong also wants to help, Team Ren, if you have something to say, please speak up."

Gong Yingxian said coldly: "The storage tanks on the truck are piled up together, each weighing several hundred kilograms. If they ignite spontaneously, it will be difficult to move and extinguish. I must check whether there is any leakage."

"If there is a leak, you won't be able to run away once it spontaneously ignites!" Ren Yi's heart tightened when he thought of how Gong Yingxian was shuttled among a bunch of time bombs just now, "Why are you not afraid of fire now? Do you know I know that the fire may really burn you just now!"

Anger flashed across Gong Yingxian's face, and he said in a deep voice, "In your eyes, I'm a coward who is afraid of a fire that hasn't burned yet?"

Ren Yi was pinched in pain, he still wanted to struggle, but couldn't bear Gong Yingxian's strength, so he was forced to let go.

Gong Yingxian slammed his wrist away, took off his chemical protective suit, and walked towards his car without looking back.

Ren Yi opened his mouth, trying to call him back, but couldn't open his mouth, so he could only watch him drive away.

Ren Yi cursed in a low voice, feeling angry and regretful in his heart.
