"Did you smell anything?" Yang Can asked Han Cailing, "touching" her nose.
"No, Chanel 17?" Han Cailing took her hand and sniffed, and laughed, thinking that Yang Can was "fascinated" by her own perfume.
With the improvement of consciousness energy, Yang Can's sense of taste is a lot sharper unconsciously. He instinctively feels that things are unusual. While walking in the lobby of the China Hometown Association, he searches for this faint strangeness. The source of the odor did not stop until he reached under a vent.
Han Cailing came over and looked at him with a little dissatisfaction: "What are you looking for?" I thought Yang Can was looking for other goals. Isn't his charm not big enough to attract him
Yang Can made a hush gesture and concentrated on starting to unfold the consciousness energy. There are 7000 high-level fires in the United States every year, and there are nearly 20 every day, but there are few major accidents. In principle, their safety protection should be It is one of the best in the world, how could there be such a burnt smell from the ventilation duct
He fanned it with his hand just now, although he was not sure, but he seemed to smell a trace of gasoline. Because of the gathering of elites in this building, the consciousness energy was extremely large, and it was quite laborious to expand Yang Can’s energy, only a little bit. Sure enough, when he reached the 40th floor, he discovered that there were two conscious energies in the ventilation duct.
But because the distance was too far, he couldn't detect the opponent's thinking, but the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong. Could someone deliberately set fire? Terrorist attacks? After thinking about it, I rejected my own speculation. Now it is very difficult for terrorists to enter the border of the United States, and it is not realistic at all.
But there won't be people putting fireworks in these pipes, right? Even if it's a bit more logical to play field battles inside.
"Sister CRBT, what company is on the 40th floor of this Moore Building?" Yang Can asked Han Cailing, taking out his mobile phone.
Han Cailing felt that he asked this question a little inexplicably, and couldn't help replying beautifully and slightly:
"Fulham, the headquarters of a large investment company on Wall Street, did not have an'Occupy Wall Street' activity some time ago, or Fulham President Hart co-signed 25 entrepreneurs to write to the federal government. What do you ask this for?"
Yang Can did not answer. He only queried the keywords of Fulham and arson on Google on his mobile phone. As expected, he saw a post discussing on a website about "Occupy Wall Street":
"The Fulham Company is simply a rascal, the source of America's decay, they should have burned them!!"
"Burn these bastards to death!" "It's all these financiers with no "sex" that made us unemployed."
There were about a dozen people who replied to the post. Although there were not many replies, some of them did mention that they were employees who repaired pipelines at Fulham and were laid off due to the economic crisis.
Yang Can's heart immediately tightened. Could it be that the Americans who "occupies Wall Street" are madly retaliating against Fulham
Due to the economic crisis in the United States in recent years, the unemployment rate has greatly increased, anxiety and despair are permeated, the Fort Hood shooting, the Manchester shooting in Connecticut, and the abb factory shooting. These events are all epitome of these emotions.
Of course, it is impossible to enter with a gun in places with strict security such as the Moore Building. Yang Can asked himself, if he is an extremist who wants to make a big fuss before his death, arson is indeed a good choice.
Suspiciously, Yang Can first walked to the public area of the bathroom to wash, holding the lighter to the induction fire extinguisher and roasting.
"What are you doing? Do you want to catch a cold!" Han Cailing exclaimed, took out a small parasol from her bag and covered it with Yang Can, feeling more and more that he had some "problem" sickness. You got it wrong, this Yang Can is not her "comrade" at all
But Yang Can roasted for half a minute, and the expected water did not spray down. Yang Can knew in his heart that this matter was getting more and more serious. Of course, he was still not sure, and he didn’t have time to go out and take the elevator downstairs to verify. The location of the toilet is closer to the target person, and he instinctively wants to rush in.
"Wow... I have never seen you as brave. Being a "perverted" wolf is too upright. I will help you what you want." Han Cailing grabbed his sleeve, but she is not a fool. Looking at the failure of the fire prevention device, I also realized that Yang Can had discovered something strange.
Yang Can didn't have the time to explain to her, and blinked at her: "I'll go in and do some business, don't worry, there is no one inside, you have to help me out." Before Han Cailing agreed, she pushed her in. .
"I'm crazy, why should I listen to you." Han Cailing has always been very confident in her IQ. Today, she was dragged by Yang Can in a daze, and she followed him as if by a demon.
She didn't know that Yang Can secretly linked her consciousness energy with her just now, so his words are so convincing.
Han Cailing was still a little guilty. She looked at her head like a thief watching at the door, and then pushed open the door with Yang Can. Fortunately, she was really empty when she went in. She was lucky, otherwise she really didn’t know what to do. Deal with this absurd thing.
Just seeing Yang Can stick his head to the wall as far as possible, the action is really weird, that expression combined with this excellent venue coordination, like the abnormality of a Japanese action movie, made Han Cailing speechless.
Although not quite clear, Yang Can still captured the correct position of the ventilation ducts, focusing on energy and forehead awareness, the screen was unfolded, and he "remotely viewed" a scene where two white men with angry expressions moved in the air duct, connecting the plastic with wires a little bit. The bag sealed the "liquid" body and drained, as if it was almost over.
If you are not mistaken, the faint smell of burning before should be the result of the two arsonists experimenting with the air concentration in various places. They should be professionals in construction.
"Someone is going to set fire." Yang Can's low voice said, startling Han Cailing.
"Are you sure? How did you know?" Han Cailing still couldn't believe it, and she didn't forget to glance at the door for fear that someone would come to the women's bathroom.
"I heard it." Yang Can couldn't explain to her how he "heard", so he pulled Han Cailing into the lobby. He didn't see Mai Weijian, but he called him and the guy's cell phone was dead. .
In desperation, I could only walk directly to Tian Guorong's side and remind him very seriously: "Uncle Tian, someone set fire downstairs, we have to take Fu Lao and leave here as soon as possible."
This thoughtless remark naturally made Tian Guorong stunned. Although he met Yang Can for the first time today, he was clearly in the impression that he was not an unreasonable person. He could not talk about such a big thing. Well, just pulled Yang Can aside and asked:
"Where did you know this?"
"I have received relevant training before, and I just smelled something." Yang Can took out his mobile phone and showed him the post about arson at Fulham to prove his speculation and explain the whole thing. Things.
"All the fire prevention devices have been made by people, I am afraid it will affect us." The high-rise fire is no more than ordinary fires. This building has only forty-three floors. Once the fire rises, it will burn upwards. , They are in danger.
Tian Guorong hesitated for a moment, and still picked up his mobile phone and made a call to the American security company in the building.
"Jason, I have received news here that there may be an arson on the 40th floor, and the fire prevention device has been turned off. Please check it out."
The Americans over there sounded almost categorically:
"Hehe, don't worry, the fire protection system is malfunctioning. We are rushing to repair it. No one sets fire. Every time this happens, there will be such rumors. How can you take it seriously?"
Tian Guorong put down the phone before speaking, Yang Can knew that he had been perfunctorily persuaded by the person on the other end of the phone. This is not surprising. After all, we only met today for the first time. This kind of big thing came out of his mouth and it didn’t mean anything. Persuasive.
But the ten sons of this matter are all Chinese elites studying in the United States, and Yang Can can't do it by himself.
Although Yang Can is usually cynical, he is a soldier and he has a strong sense of responsibility in the blood. He used his mobile phone to connect to the building’s internal network and called up the building structure diagram. He used to be a bodyguard and faced the evacuation route. Still very researched, and took a big step towards the direction of Fu Lao's table.
"Fu Lao, someone is setting fire below, and something big will happen later, I must take you away."
Tian Guorong was already a bit displeased, chasing him over and shouting: "Xiao Yang, what are you talking about? How can you talk about things that haven't been verified yet."
He thought that Yang Can had just joined the fellow villagers' association today, and wanted to highlight himself. He deliberately said such crazy things to show his performance. His evaluation of him was immediately lowered by a few grades. He really didn't see it. This young man actually put his mind on this aspect. Up.
Lao Fu also laughed at the Chinese representatives in Los Angeles next to him: "Xiao Yang, you may be mistaken. I have been here for ten years. There has never been a big fire in the Moore Building, have you? I'm too nervous."
Han Cailing is also a little lack of confidence, and she persuades:
"Yang Can, are you making a mistake? Why don't we go down and verify it? I think the matter may not be as serious as you thought.
Yang Can has been using consciousness energy to monitor the people in those two channels. At this moment, he suddenly felt that they were leaving, and at the same time a huge energy tumbling, he knew that the big thing was not good, and there was no time to talk nonsense with them. Han Cailing shouted: "Go to Mai Weijian! Let him go downstairs quickly." She moved to Fu Lao's side instead.
"Fu Lao, the matter is urgent, I can only offend it."
Among the people's doubts, Fu Lao didn't even react, but Yang Can suddenly bowed and lifted the dangling Fu Lao from the chair.
Poor Fu Lao was over 80 years old and his whole person was shocked. Once his mind was blocked, he had no ability to think at all, so he could only stare at Tian Guorong in amazement.
"You bastard~! Don't put Fu Lao down yet." Tian Guorong exclaimed, and chased after him in a panic. Nearby Zhang Jianjun, Liu Feifei, Zheng Kai, and Huang Wendao all stood up in consternation at the same time.
Tian Guorong was anxious on the spot, yelling his bodyguard: "Stop him~! Put down Fu Lao, he has high blood pressure and can't help you toss!" He grabbed Yang Can's arm tightly.
Who is Yang Can? Even ten Tian Guorong can’t hold him. It’s just that he is carrying the old man, walking like a flying one and rushing out. The two bodyguards at the door rushed up and the posture was not ready, Yang Can’s consciousness showed his energy. After judging the trajectory of their movements, they slammed into the waist with a bow, and the inertia combined with his own huge strength knocked the two bodyguards into the air with a muffled sound.
Tian Guorong panicked and chased after Yang Can and fell violently. He got up and clutched his nose, which called an angry heart attack, waving his hand and shouting:
"Old Xu, call the strong son downstairs, and you must stop that kid." He staggered after him.
Originally, a group of Chinese elites from all walks of life were not elegantly dressed and arrogant, but at this time, seeing Fu Lao being abducted, everyone was panicked. A group of people shouted and chased out in an extremely embarrassing manner.
"Stop! Stop!" "Let down Fu Lao!"
Yang Can carried the old man on his back, led a group of Chinese elites and ran straight to the stairs. Several people along the way tried to stop him, but he quickly avoided him.
In the stairs of the safe passage, Fu Lao was carried by Yang Can and found it ridiculous. He even frowned and said with difficulty, "Xiao Yang, okay, don't run away, my old bones have been broken. , Let me talk about something."
But before the words were finished, a group of people pantingly chased Yang Can down two floors and suddenly felt a burst of heat rushing toward their faces. They heard a clear scream and exclamation, followed by the sound of messy footsteps. Everyone was also shocked. They were a little awake. They turned their heads and took a look outside. They found the flames blazing into the sky and shouted in panic:
"It's a fire... It's a fire! A big fire~!"
Feeling the thick smoke seeping into this space, Tian Guorong was shocked. Only then did he realize that Yang Can's previous words were true and shocked. Yang Can looked at the group of people in a daze and couldn't help but yell. :
"What a daze, don't run away." There are thousands of people in this building. The more you wait for this kind of situation, the more "chaotic" you will be squeezed out by the crowd.
When I got down to the 40th floor and the 39th floor, the safe passage was already full of frightened people. Everyone was crying, screaming and squeezing down, in such a "chaotic" scene, with an old man behind his back Yang Can also sent the Buddha to the west, and carried him to a safe area on the first floor in the crowded crowd.
In this short ten minutes, a number of fire trucks and reporter interview vehicles have arrived downstairs. The countless whites and blacks below are crowded, looking at the smoke-bearing building in horror, and there is a rescue helicopter flying in the distance. The response from all parties in downtown Los Angeles was extremely swift.
Uncertainly, Tian Guorong and a group of Chinese elites looked at the flame-lit building on the uppermost floor panting, feeling the violently undulating chest with lingering fears. If Yang Can hadn’t brought them down just now, the consequences would be really unthinkable. Before being smoked, everyone was drinking water.
Yang Can put aside Fu Lao, who was already a little bumpy and dizzy, turned his head and asked them, "Who saw Han Cailing?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, Han Cailing didn't come down? That means that Mai Weijian did not come down, Yang Can was thinking about his big director, and ran back to the direction of the building without even thinking about it. The fire brigade cordoned off, and Zheng Kai, the deputy director of the Los Angeles Fire Department, followed immediately. past.
"Don't be'chaos', the fire is too big, this is obviously an arson." As an insider, Zheng Kaiyan couldn't hold Yang Can.
"My people are still up there." Yang Can couldn't help but scold her. The two arsonists were too inhumane and stupid. They set fire in the forty-floor pipe and closed the fire doors and sprinklers, although the fire spread. It was surprisingly fast, but people on the forty floors still had enough time to go downstairs, but the people on the upper three floors had no time to run.
When Yang Can rushed all the way to the thirty-ninth floor with all his strength, the American firefighters who had left before had just arrived. Several tall white men were panting heavily while carrying equipment, and were tired and slumped. Such as mud.
Detecting that there are conscious energy on it, Yang Can is not nervous. Although the fire is big, but after all, the time is still short, and it will not burn to the top to make people cooked. As long as those trained in fire prevention know to close the door and use wet 『 The woolen towel closes the gap to block the deadly smoke, and it is no problem to support it for a period of time.
Just watching the firefighters hurriedly set up the water hose, sprayed "shooting" into it, and wanted to rush in, but did not expect the fire to be fierce. They simply went up to the safe passage, but they were grilled too much and returned back. .
I have to admit that American firefighters are still very desperate. Several hairs have been burned out, and they still rushed in bravely. After all, there are dozens of lives on them.
Although Zheng Kai did not go to work, the superior of these Los Angeles firefighters, Zheng Kai shouted: "No, the fire is too big to get in."
The firefighters kept scolding their mothers. They were all veterans who were accustomed to seeing the fire scene. They all knew that the fire was just so fierce just after it started. I'm afraid it will get bigger and bigger after a while. Can't hold on anymore.
"Damn, this arsonist must be a veteran, the fire in the passage is so big, I'm afraid the people above can't get to the top floor, and the helicopter is useless." A black firefighter cursed, in various fires. This kind of high-rise building fires above 100 meters is the most troublesome. It can only be controlled and cannot be extinguished. The man-made destruction of the fire door is the most deadly point, otherwise the fire will not burn at all.
Zheng Kai dropped the fireproof jacket directly from a firefighter, and yelled in full aura: "I want two volunteers, who will go up with me!"
In the tradition of the US Fire Department, the action of nine deaths can only be voluntary. Those American firefighters will look at me, and I will see if they hesitated. Last time, everyone from the World Trade Center, a fire chief called the same thing, but he went up. All the twelve team members were killed. The firefighters were also human, and they were afraid of death.
"Ban mom day... These brave Yankees." Seeing these firefighters pretending to be grandsons, the righteous and awe-inspiring deputy fire chief scolded in a standard Nanshi dialect.
Preparing to be a lonely hero and rush into the raging passage, Yang Can stepped forward and grabbed him calmly.
"Don't be impulsive, follow me, I know there is another way."
Zheng Kai would definitely not listen when he was going to change, but this Yang Can had saved a group of them before. It seemed that he had some doorways and was not a layman.
Yang Can moved a table and removed the cover of the air passage on it. He immediately squatted on his head, and beckoned to Zheng Kai to signal: "Go up."
