Blazing Armour - Chapter 186

The tumbling heat wave is coming, and the deep corridor has not completely gone too far at this time. Only the parts of the wall and door panel that are suspected to have been blown away by the explosion have been puffed, while the fire in other places is temporarily blocked in the house by the door. But the red flame, which fluttered out from the window, from the crack of the door and from the ceiling, was like the angry mouth of a dragon. It was breathing, brewing and accumulating. When it was ready, it frantically spit out flames that could devour everything.

Cheng Mao took a look at the flames rolled up on the ceiling: “the ceiling has gone too far. It is estimated that it will take up to five minutes to deflagration. Speed up the search. I told you to withdraw immediately.”

“Yes.”

Two commanders and fighters connected the hose to the fire hydrant in the building and extinguished the fire in the corridor. Others went deep and dispersed, looking for the trapped people one by one. Ren ran straight to his father’s ward.

The corridor is deep. The closer it is to the fire point, the greater the smoke. You can’t see anything more than two meters away. It’s also very difficult to see the room number. Ren Yi touches the wall and bends forward, looking for his father’s room with his memory.

Suddenly, Ren Yu heard a blank tone during the intercom channel switching, and then, Cheng Mao’s voice sounded in Ren Yu’s ear: “Ren Yu, I’ve violated discipline by letting you in. If something happens to you, my career will come to an end, but I admit it. Now I order you to come back safely anyway, not to protect myself, but not to lose a brother, understand.”

Ren Yu’s eyes were hot: “thank you, brother Mao.”

When passing a dormitory, Ren Yu suddenly heard several metal knocks inside. He was stunned. He knew what it was. At this moment, his heart struggled.

Saving people in the fire is to rob time. A few seconds earlier and a few seconds later is enough to determine a person’s life and death. He should find his father and Gong Yingxian as soon as possible, otherwise more delay will be their lives.

But now someone is asking for help, right next to him.

Ren Xuan couldn’t step out. He hit the wall hard and almost bit his lips. He stood up and opened the door.

An old woman is dying under the bed. She covers her mouth and nose and taps her legs with a lunch box. The rolling smoke floats in the sky and hasn’t completely landed, but she has difficulty breathing and is confused. In this environment, people will be poisoned if they can’t last for three minutes.

Ren ran over, pushed the iron frame bed away, picked the old man up horizontally on the ground, turned and rushed out of the room, and shouted, “there are people here, there are people here!”

He ran back for a while, and a fireman suddenly came out of the fog. It was Qu Yangbo.

Qu Yangbo took grandma from him without hesitation: “give it to me, you go find them!”

Ren Yu didn’t say much. They exchanged firm and trusting eyes. He turned and ran deep into the corridor.

The more you go inside, the temperature rises abruptly. The fire point is ahead. It’s not his father’s dormitory, but it must be very close to his father’s dormitory because the fire is raging here.

The fire hose can’t get here. If it is pulled to such a deep position, it will be burned through on the way, so he has no water cover and can only rely on himself.

Wearing flame retardant clothes, he couldn’t stop the pervasive geothermal radiation. It seemed that the terrible temperature that could scald people scorched every pore of Ren Yu. He felt that the sweat on his body was like rain, and the high-temperature baking constantly took away the water in his body, not to mention the sharp pain.

Ren Yu’s daily training is to adapt to such pain.

Out of his professional habits, whenever he went to a place, Ren Yu would observe the surrounding fire prevention measures. He knew that there was a fire hydrant not far from here. He turned back, groped on the wall and soon found it. He put forward two dry powder fire extinguishers from inside and opened a way for himself that he had to pass quickly.

He endured the hell environment that ordinary people can’t bear and found his father’s dormitory. The dormitory door was deformed and could not be opened. He stepped back two steps, flew up and kicked it hard on the door.

When the gate opened, a fire wave rushed towards Ren Yu like a beast. He didn’t predict, so he immediately fell to the ground after kicking the door, but he was licked by the fire tongue to his back and arm.

Flame retardant clothing can protect him for a short time. He rolls and beats on the ground and soon extinguishes the flame, but the clothes are also burned out. The high temperature marks pain on his body through those holes like a soldering iron.

Regardless of these, Ren Yu got up and rushed in. Most of the fire in the house has gone too far. There is almost no hiding place and foothold. People can’t get in at all and can’t see the situation inside.

His heart seemed to be hollowed out. He shouted, “Dad! Gong Yingxian! Dad!”

No one answered.

Ren Yu opened the way while spitting fire, and forced himself into the fiercely burning airtight room. I’m afraid the temperature was close to a thousand degrees. Staying here for one more second could bring life and kill people. Ren Yu felt that he didn’t go further. His skin and flesh would turn into blood and flow clean along his trunk, but he went in with inhuman willpower.

The dormitory area is not large. If there is no smoke and flame, you can see at a glance that there is no one at the bottom of the bed, by the window and in the bathroom. It is an empty room, and his father’s wheelchair is not there.

Ren Yi turned and ran out, just a few seconds, as if he had come back from the dead.

His father’s legs and feet are inconvenient. In the absence of others, he can’t go far. Maybe he’s nearby. What about Gong Yingxian? Where is Gong Yingxian?

Ren Xuan kicked open the dormitory next door and shouted, “Dad! Gong Yingxian!”

Although his heart was in his chest, it was painful as if he had been thrown into the fire. He was so anxious that he shed tears. But tears had no value in hell. They evaporated in an instant, leaving only two dirty tears on the blackened face.

Where are you? Where are you.

No, you have to calm down, calm down!

Ren Yu yelled at himself in his heart. His father and Gong Yingxian both have rich experience in self rescue in fire, one from actual combat and the other from books. How will they save themselves in this case?

It is impossible to escape with an old man in a wheelchair through a corridor full of fire and smoke. It is also impossible to jump out of a window from the third floor. It is even more impossible to sit and wait for death. What should we do?

Ren Yu suddenly remembered that there was a public toilet at the end of the corridor!

Ren Xuan turned back and rushed to the deep of the corridor to avoid the flames spreading everywhere in the corridor. He found the toilet. The door of the women’s toilet was wide open and the door of the men’s toilet was closed. A little cloth leaked from the crack of the door.

There must be someone in there.

Under the action of high temperature, most of the door frames or doors have been deformed. Ren Yu bumped and didn’t open them. He slapped the door panel: “Dad! Gong Yingxian! Do you hear me! Open the door! Open the door!”

There was no movement inside.

Ren Yu kicked and hit the door with his body. The door had been knocked open. He took off the crowbar from his waist to pry the door frame stuck on the door panel. After roughly breaking down, the door was finally opened by him, which was enough for people to pass through.

Ren Yi squeezed in and saw that his heart almost stopped beating.

Although the toilet is better than the outside, it has been filled with poisonous smoke.

Ren Xiangrong was sitting in a wheelchair wearing a mask and a fire blanket. His hands were unable to fall, while Gong Yingxian fell to the ground. Both of them were unconscious.

Gong Yingxian only wore pants. His clothes turned into cloth soaked in water, sealed the crack of the door, and tried to prevent the deadly smoke from drilling in. He had obvious burns on his legs.

Ren Yi rushed over, first took off his mask and put it on Gong Yingxian’s face. By the way, he detected his pulse. Although it was weak, it was still beating stoically.

Gong Yingxian suddenly moved, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ren Yu blankly. He seemed to try to see clearly, but gradually lost focus.

“Should string, should string!” Ren Yu stroked Gong Yingxian’s hot face and said with tears, “don’t be afraid, I’ll save you.”

Gong Yingxian couldn’t hear Ren Yu’s voice clearly, and he suddenly didn’t know what had happened. Only his eyes were instinctively looking for the focal length. In the blurred vision, a figure shook. Gradually, he saw an anxious, painful face wiping soot. Gradually, he saw a small mole on that face, and his eyes were focused here.

Memories and reality crisscrossed and overlapped in front of Gong Yingxian. He saw that in the desperate purgatory eroded by the flame, a man came to him firmly and fearlessly, stretched out a strong hand to him, gave him a generous hug, and above the smile held up by his cracked lips, a small mole branded a lifelong memory in his narrow field of vision, The man said, “don’t be afraid, I’ll save you.”

Gong Yingxian murmured, “Uncle… Help me…”

Ren Yu felt as if someone was gouging out his heart.

He barely wiped away his tears and got up to check his father. When his fingers pressed against Ren Xiangrong’s carotid artery, but he didn’t get any response, he was stunned.

“Dad…” Ren Yu shouted, like a mosquito.

Ren Yu was crazy. He touched Ren Xiangrong’s pulse and explored his nose. There was no response. His throat gave out a dying wail. He put Ren Xiangrong flat on the ground, raised his chin, clasped his hands and began cardiac resuscitation.

“Dad, wake up, Dad, I beg you, wake up!” Ren Xiangrong burst into tears and blurred his sight. He kept pressing Ren Xiangrong’s chest and cross cooperated with artificial respiration, but he couldn’t return to the slightest response.

“Dad -” Ren Ying cried heartrendingly.

“Captain!” Someone shouted outside the window.

Ren Yu didn’t hear of it. He still kept doing cardiac resuscitation. He wouldn’t stop even if he was exhausted and his arms were sour and soft.

After that, the squadron that arrived raised the ladder from the other side of the stairs and saw Ren Yu in the open window. They turned over the window and entered, pulled Ren Yu away almost limply, and lifted Ren Xiangrong and Gong Yingxian out of the window.

Many people said something in Ren’s ear, or impatient, or urgent, or worried, but Ren couldn’t understand a word.

“Dad… Dad…” Ren Yu stretched out his hand in vain to grasp his father, but there was nothing in his blurred vision. The whole world burst into flames and collapsed in front of him, and dust and sand covered all the light and brought darkness that seemed never to disperse.

Ren Yu forgot to think and act. He was set up in a trance. The purgatory heat wave was away. The turbid air was replaced. There were shouts, brakes, sirens and footsteps in his ears. He seemed to have moved from one world to another, but he had abandoned his perception.

I don’t know how long later, a man came to him and squatted down. Ren Yu looked blankly at the front. There was no focal length at the bottom of his eyes and couldn’t see each other’s face clearly.

The man, in a difficult tone as if he didn’t know how to organize language, slowly said: “old captain, it’s sudden… Sudden…” he seemed to have lost his language ability. He couldn’t say the next word for a long time. After a long time, he said, “he didn’t suffer.”

Ren Yu was still at a loss and didn’t seem to understand.

The man stuffed a slightly hot thing into Ren Yu’s palm and choked, “there’s the last words of the old captain.” Then he got up and left.

Ren Yu lowered his head and recognized that it was a mobile phone. He looked at the blood red play button and gently touched it with his soft fingers.

After a short pause, a female voice quickly said, “Hello, 119 command center. What can I do for you?”

“Cough… Cough… Little comrade, I’m on fire.”

“Please send your detailed address…”

“Listen to me. Don’t say a word… Cough… Listen to me and remember clearly.” The noisy background sound set off Ren Xiangrong’s voice with extra calmness, “I’m a retired fireman. I’m in Shoukang nursing home, No. 8, Yantian road. The nearest one to me is Bali fire brigade. Don’t take sunshine road, where the lane change is narrow and easy to traffic jam. There is a municipal fire hydrant on the left side of the gate outside the hospital and on the southeast gate, and there are two fire hydrants on each floor of the building. The fire point is the tea room, the penultimate fifth on the west side of the third floor. The gas tank exploded and caught fire here Polyurethane is widely used in furniture and decoration. When the fire truck arrives, it must be out of control. The focus of rescue is to block the spread of the fire. The water gun should block the rooms in the four directions up, down, left and right of the fire point. After arriving, first set up a ladder on the southwest side. Here are the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet or who can’t take care of themselves. They can’t evacuate by themselves. ”

“Sir… I, I have informed Bali fire brigade to rush to the accident site. What’s the situation now? Can you evacuate by yourself? Is there too much fire around?”

Ren Xiangrong coughed violently twice and said softly, “my legs and feet are bad and I can’t run away. I, cough, I have something to say to my son. He is also a firefighter. He is a squadron captain.”

The operator was silent: “you say.”

“Ren Yu, I don’t know if I can see you again this time. If not, what I’m saying now is my last words.” Ren Xiangrong smiled and coughed, “You always think I’m losing money. I’m finally retired and ill again. I don’t think so. Really, I told you that I’m as lucky as I stole it. But I don’t want to be trapped in this chair and sick body for the rest of my life, so I have no regrets. This fire is an old opponent and friend. Fire Come in the fire and go in the fire. I’ve won the fire so many times. It’s time for it to win me. Cough, Ren Yu, having your son is the proudest thing in dad’s life. You are good at everything, really. ” Ren Yu trembled and choked. “I know why you don’t want to get married. Hahaha, do you think you can hide your father? I know. I don’t force you. As long as you are happy and you can find someone to take care of you and accompany you, anything will do. Officer Xiaogong, very good. I’m going to find your mother. Son, you must be good. I’ll find your mother.”

The recording stopped abruptly.

The mobile phone dropped to the ground. Ren hugged his head and cried.
