Ren Yi returns to the shopping mall and sees that everyone is looking for Gao Ge. He asked, "Are you sure there is no one in the equipment room?"
"No, we've all looked for it."
"Who saw him in the end?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Sun Definition said anxiously: "Maybe... it's us."
"Where's the alarm? Did his alarm go off?"
Each firefighter has an alarm that can detect whether the carrier has fallen. Once the person falls for more than 20 seconds, a high-decibel alarm will sound. Although the environment is noisy, it is impossible not to hear the sound.
"I didn't hear anything."
Ren Yi was a little dazed in front of his eyes, how could a living person disappear out of thin air? ! He took a deep breath: "Let's go through it again. You, me and Gao Ge were spraying water, and then changed to the next shift. Who is the next shift?"
"It's us." Liu Hui said, "The three of us."
"When we came out, Goge was behind us. Who saw him go?"
Liu Hui and the others looked at each other: "It seems... I didn't see anyone."
"How could you not see it?" Sun Yiyi roared, "It's such a small place, just one door, there is no one inside, and no one saw him come out. Where can people go? Fall into a mouse hole?"
"Oh!" A middle-aged man on the side suddenly called out.
The soldiers all looked at him.
"There is really a hole in the equipment room!" He said anxiously, "It was left for checking the underground water and electricity equipment. It is usually covered with an iron plate. The iron plate must have been melted."
Ren Yi said anxiously: "Where is it! How deep is it."
The man described the approximate location, and several people rushed in. To prevent anyone from falling, they were tied to ropes and groped around their waists. The equipment room was filled with fog and visibility was extremely low. There was a dark shadow, he shook the rope, walked over, and found a hole, he shouted: "Gaoge! Goge!"
There was no response from below, but a vague figure could be seen.
Ren Yi climbed down the ladder.
The smoke is lighter than the air, so when you go up, the smoke underground is not so thick. Ren Yi saw that Gao Ge's air bottle was hung on the ladder. Hit my head on the ladder while coming down.
Ren Yi touched Gaoge's pulse and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Gaoge's air volume, and there was already a red light flashing, proving that the air content was extremely low.
Ren Yi tied the rope buckle to Gaoge's belt, tugged at the rope, and the people above hoisted Gaoge up.
Gao Ge was carried outside and took off his mask. His skin was abnormally flushed, and his body was as wet as if he had been fished out of the water. He was full of sweat, and his breathing was short and difficult.
"Take off his clothes first, is the ambulance here?" Ren Yi asked.
"It should be here soon."
They hurriedly took off Goge's heavy combat uniform, padded his neck, and tried to let him breathe smoothly. His skin was so hot that they cooled him with water.
Before the ambulance arrived, Gao Ge regained a little consciousness and asked for water with a hoarse voice.
Ren Yi sat next to him, fed him some water, and said with lingering fear: "Brother, you scared me to death." If they found out a little later, the consequences would be disastrous, how could he not be afraid.
There are all kinds of unexpected accidents in the fire scene. No matter how careful they are, it is difficult to completely avoid them. It is really powerless.
"The ambulance is coming."
After Gao Ge was sent to the ambulance, the soldiers rushed back to continue fighting the fire.
They were busy from noon to night, and it took them seven hours to put out the fire. During this time, they went in to flush water in shifts, squatted on the side of the road to eat boxed lunches, and changed each person's air bottle at least three times.
After the fire was extinguished, the soldiers were too tired to stand up. In the late autumn night when the temperature was less than ten degrees, they did not feel cold even when lying on the ground. The high-temperature steam in the equipment room seemed to seep into every pore of them. Until now Neither dissipated.
When returning to the squadron, Ren Yi asked the fire truck to take a detour and put himself and Sun Dingyi in Hongwu Hospital.
Gao Ge has just finished the examination and is resting in the ward. He has already woken up with a moderate concussion and various degrees of burns on his body. Although it is not serious, he still has to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days.
When he entered the ward, Gao Ge was videoing with his wife and children. When he saw them coming, he turned his phone around: "Girl, this is Uncle Ren and Uncle Sun. Say hello."
"Hello, Uncle." The little girl called obediently.
Both Ren Yi and Sun Definition knew his wife. Their mother and daughter are not in Beijing, but they have come to the squadron twice to celebrate the New Year together.
Gao Ge chatted with them for a few words, then hung up: "Is the fire out?"
"Immortal, can we come over?" Sun defined his dirty face, "Are you comfortable in the air-conditioned room?"
"It's so comfortable." Gao Ge winked and said, "I'm so envious of you."
Ren Yi scolded with a smile: "Don't be poor, how do you feel now?"
"My body hurts, and I'm a little dizzy, but it's nothing serious." Gao Ge was puzzled, "I don't know what happened until now?"
Sun Definition explained: "There used to be an inspection hatch in that equipment room, and there was a ladder going down to the next floor. It was originally covered with an iron plate, but the iron plate was roasted."
"Damn..." Gao Ge sighed, "I can't see anything in there."
"Yeah, we've been looking for you for a long time, and it's as if you disappeared out of thin air. If an electrician didn't remember it..." Ren Yi said in a deep voice, "At that time, your breath would be out of breath immediately, it was too damn dangerous .”
Gao Ge deliberately laughed twice, and comforted them: "If you survive a catastrophe, you must have a future blessing."
"We'll come and see you. We'll go back if you're okay. Let's rest for a few more days, bring our wife and children, and have a good get-together."
Gao Ge nodded: "My wife bought a ticket for tomorrow."
The two walked out of the ward, when Ren Yi turned around, he felt a burning pain in his neck, and he let out a "hiss".
"What's wrong?"
"Help me look at the neck here."
Sun Yifei lifted Ren Yi's collar, frowned and said, "It's blistering, is your collar not buttoned properly?"
Ren Yi remembered that he had opened his collar to cool off when he was outside, and later heard that Gao Ge had disappeared, so he hurried back, so he couldn't care less about this.
The neckline is the weakest part of their protective clothing. Although many protective measures have been taken, it is connected to the exposed skin after all. The part above the neck can only be protected by the hat curtain. No matter what, it is impossible to be impermeable. , so here is the place with the highest thermal radiation.
Ren Yi's collar hadn't been glued properly, so he was scalded by the high-temperature steam.
"Go, let's deal with it."
Ren Yi said: "I'll go by myself, you can go back to the squadron and have a good rest."
"It's still a while away, let's go."
The two found the nurse, took off their clothes, and saw that there were several tender red blisters the size of quail eggs scalded on their necks, and one of them was torn by the neckline.
"Can't you feel it?" the nurse complained, "It's all worn out, and it's easy to get infected."
Ren Yi smiled bitterly and said, "My body was so hot just now, it hurts everywhere, I really didn't feel it."
The nurse began to treat Ren Yi's wound.
Sun Yifei watched from the side as the nurse made a small incision on the blister, and a large amount of tissue fluid flowed out. Ren Yi frowned, but didn't say anything. He couldn't stand it anymore: "I'll get you medicine."
"it is good."
After a while, Sun Deyi came back with the medicine: "Captain Ren, I saw Dr. Gong."
Ren Yi suddenly raised his head: "Where is it?"
The nurse's needle accidentally pricked his back, he let out an "ouch", and the nurse held him down: "Don't move around."
Ren Yi looked at Sun Definition: "Where is it? Did you read it correctly?"
"Is there any misreading of his fairy-like appearance? It's just outside, like a prisoner." Sun defined, "I'll call him over."
"Hey don't..." Ren Yi wanted to stop Sun Dingyi, but he turned around and left.
Although he really wanted to see Gong Yingxian, but he was dirty now, so it was obviously not a good time to meet him.
Soon, Gong Yingxian followed Sun Yifei in, and when he saw Ren Yi, he was stunned. Ren Yi was wearing a sweat-soaked blue shirt, the suspenders of the protective clothing were still hanging on his shoulders, his face and body were covered with black soot, and there was a red scar on his neck. Bai's consulting room formed a huge contrast, with the fatigue and embarrassment of the rest of his life after a catastrophe.
Gong Yingxian only felt his heart being pulled hard, he walked over quickly, and said anxiously: "Are you injured? What's wrong with your neck?"
Ren Yi said nonchalantly: "The police just got out, it's all right, just a little burn."
Gong Yingxian looked at the blisters on Ren Yi's neck, frowned, and said for a long time, "It hurts."
"It's okay, sister nurse is so gentle." Ren Yi blinked, "It's just a blister, it will disappear in a few days."
After applying the medicine, the nurse instructed: "Captain Ren, there is nothing to do with the broken one. For the rest, you must protect that layer of skin. Don't rub or get wet, so that the scars will fade quickly in the future."
"Okay, thank you." Ren Yi stood up, "Why are you here at the hospital? Zhou Chuan?"
Gong Yingxian nodded, his eyes still resting on Ren Yi's burns: "Zhou Chuan was discharged from the hospital today."
"Great, I can finally lock up this grandson." Ren Yi asked, "How are the others doing?"
"There's been a lot of progress." Gong Yingxian said, "I'll send you back to the squadron, and I'll tell you when you're better."
"I'm just burned, it doesn't affect anything."
"Let's go."
Ren Yi hesitated and said, "We are so dirty, how can we ride in your car?"
"I didn't drive, I came in a police car."
Sun Yiyi rubbed his hands together: "Wow, I haven't been in a police car yet."
"Do you want to have a full experience?" Ren Yi teased, "He has handcuffs."
"That's unnecessary."
After getting in the car, Gong Yingxian and Ren Yi sat in the back seat, Ren Yi moved aside, afraid of bumping into Gong Yingxian, Gong Yingxian gave him a sideways look: "Don't hide, can you still sit on the roof of the car?" .”
Ren Yi laughed and said, "I'm afraid you'll get sick."
"You... I can barely bear it." Gong Yingxian said softly.
Ren Yi smiled knowingly.
The police car sent them back to the squadron, and Ren Yi asked Gong Yingxian with some expectation: "Would you like to come in and sit down? If you don't rush back to the branch..."
"Ok."
After entering the squadron, the soldiers all came to inquire about Gao Ge's situation, and after learning that Gao Ge was fine, they all became concerned about Ren Yi's injury.
After Ren Yi explained, he took Gong Yingxian to his dormitory.
In their squadron, only the squadron leader and instructors have a single dormitory. Although the decoration is very simple, there are bedrooms, bathrooms and offices.
Gong Yingxian stood in the house and looked around. Although he had been to the Phoenix Squadron several times, it was the first time he had entered Ren Yi's dormitory. Compared with Ren Yi's home that had not been lived in for several years, it was more lively. There is more... the breath of Ren Yi.
"Drink water?" Ren Yi was suddenly a little nervous, like a little boy who invited a girl to his dormitory for the first time, afraid that he would be dismissed as not clean enough.
"No need to."
"Then sit down for a while, I'll take a shower." Ren Yi remembered the injury on his neck, the nurse had told him not to touch the water, but he couldn't even look at it, he gave a soft "tsk" and said to himself He said to himself, "How do I wash this?"
"Let me help you." Gong Yingxian said.
Ren Yi stared straight at his eyes, not daring to turn his head back.
