Chapter 73: Using a mortal body to open a life channel for children
The heat wave hits my face!
It seemed to be drying up every drop of moisture on Qin Feng's face.
Even though he was hiding in a wet quilt at this moment, he could still feel the heat penetrating into his bones.
Qin Feng's hair made a crackling sound and emitted a burnt smell.
His dry lips were covered with bloodstains, and a large area of his face was burned red by the high temperature.
But even so, he never took a step back.
Qin Feng held one hand in front and the other behind, like a fearless warrior holding a bayonet to intimidate the enemy.
Aim the nozzle of the carbon dioxide fire extinguisher in your hand at the fire source and spray continuously.
He knew that his personal abilities were insignificant, and he also knew how insignificant he was in the face of disasters.
But he still wanted to use his mortal body to open a life channel for the children upstairs as much as possible.
"No more deaths can happen. No more accidents can happen!"
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and endured the burning heat wave, and finished spraying the entire fire extinguisher.
Thanks to his efforts, the flames at the entrance were significantly weakened and the scorching temperature dropped a lot.
Qin Feng threw the hot empty bottle in his hand behind him, completely ignoring the burns on his hands.
He opened the second fire extinguisher in one go and continued to move towards the source of the heat!
As the carbon dioxide continues to cover the flames, the flame at the entrance begins to gradually decrease due to the lack of oxygen to support combustion.
Moreover, two burnt wooden doors were exposed.
The two doors were originally open, but the explosion just now broke the hinges and they became closed.
Afterwards, it was ignited by the fire spreading from next door, forming a wall of fire.
Looking at the flames at the entrance that were getting weaker and weaker, the onlookers finally saw hope at this moment.
"If there are any fire extinguishers in the car, go up and help!"
In the crowd, a big man wearing sunglasses shouted.
He took out a small fire extinguisher from the car and rushed forward.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people took out fire extinguishers from their cars and joined Qin Feng in putting out the fire.
Although these vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers are small in size, their effects are minimal.
But for now, the fire at the entrance has been brought under control.
What they needed to do was to completely extinguish the fire on the door and keep cooling it down to prevent the fire from the restaurant next door from spreading again.
Bang!
Qin Feng kicked open the two doors of the entrance with force.
The two wooden doors have now been burned to charcoal.
After being kicked, it immediately shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
But at this moment, billowing black smoke gushed out like evil spirits from hell, choking everyone and making them retreat.
Turning my gaze towards the entrance again, the door turned into a bottomless black hole.
But even if there is a man-eating abyss here, even if this road leads to hell.
There are still many parents who continue to rush in regardless of their own safety.
Because upstairs is their only hope, and there are so many children waiting for them to save!
But in the end, all these people were stopped by Qin Feng and several traffic police.
"I understand you're eager to save people, but we can't all go up there. Otherwise, we won't be saving people, but causing more trouble!"
"Listen to me now, come a few young people, cover your mouths and noses with wet towels, and go up with me. We will definitely save all the children!"
The previous heat wave squeezed out the last bit of saliva from Qin Feng's throat.
But even so, he still roared with his hoarse voice.
Because Qin Feng knew very well that the more chaotic the situation was, the more order had to be maintained.
At this time, someone must step forward to stabilize the situation.
Otherwise, not only will no one be saved, but more people will fall in the thick smoke, and even a stampede may be caused.
If it really comes to this, the rescue work will eventually turn into a bigger disaster!
Fortunately, Qin Feng's military identity came into play and shocked the whole place.
In addition to Gang's rescue and firefighting, he was also at the forefront.
So at this moment, Qin Feng has become the backbone of the crowd!
"We support you, soldier comrade. We will do whatever you say!"
"You, you, you, and you, bring two fire extinguishers, cover your mouth and nose with wet towels and follow me!"
Qin Feng selected a few young and strong men to go up with him to rescue.
The elderly and women all stayed downstairs and waited.
This early childhood education institution has two escape routes, one of which is the elevator.
However, due to the explosion and fire, it was obviously damaged and unusable.
The other is the stairs.
At this moment, Qin Feng and several young parents bent down and covered their mouths and noses.
With his right hand, he groped his way up the railing little by little, almost crawling.
The passive [Heaven's Movement] also maximizes his five senses at this moment to help him find the direction.
But when passing the second floor, Qin Feng clearly felt that there were a lot of debris piled on the platform of the stairwell.
And they are flammable items such as cardboard and wooden furniture.
Fortunately, these things didn’t catch fire, otherwise we would be in a real dilemma!
At this moment, Qin Feng didn't care about much else and could only speed up and head towards the fourth floor.
The entrance to the fourth floor is a glass door, and the gap in the door has been blocked with a wet towel.
The teachers have also received some first aid training, so although the air inside the early childhood education center is turbid, it is much better than the inky smoke outside.
Qin Feng looked inside through the glass door.
I could just see a group of children standing on benches by the window, calling for help outside.
At this moment, the teachers also discovered Qin Feng and others who came to rescue.
Only after hearing the teachers' stories did Qin Feng know.
It turned out that when the explosion occurred, all the children were taking an activity class on the fourth floor.
With the impact reduction on the second and third floors, the children and teachers taking classes on the fourth floor were fine except for dizziness and tinnitus.
Originally, after the explosion, the teachers planned to take the children out through the stairs.
But as soon as they got downstairs, they saw black smoke rising from the stairwell and the only way out was blocked by flames.
At this time, no one dared to act rashly. They could only return to the fourth floor, block the gap in the door with a wet towel, and wait quietly for rescue.
Qin Feng quite approves of the teachers' approach.
Because in a fire, what is truly scary is not the flames, but the thick smoke.
The vast majority of people were not burned to death, but were choked to death by thick smoke on their way to escape.
"We have temporarily put out the fire at the door. The police and paramedics are already downstairs, and the fire brigade is on the way!"
"The fire will soon spread from the third floor to the fourth floor. We must evacuate quickly..."
Qin Feng quickly explained the interests involved and then began to arrange a rescue plan.
He asked the teachers to use wet towels to help the children cover their mouths and noses.
Then tie the jump ropes around the children's waists.
This way, when going downstairs, no one will be left behind due to obstructed vision.
On the street below, sirens blared and numerous red and blue lights flashed.
The crowd and parents were evacuated to a safe distance by the police.
Medical staff are also quickly rescuing every injured person.
The injured at the scene were carried onto stretchers and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
"Hey, hey, hey! Fire department, when the hell are you guys gonna get here?"
"Almost there! One more street, fifty seconds, fifty seconds at most!"
Looking at the flames growing stronger and stronger, an old police officer who was responsible for maintaining order at the scene shouted angrily into the walkie-talkie.
Let alone fifty seconds, we can't waste even a second!
So many children were trapped in the fire!
If something really happened, how many families would be torn apart!
"They're coming out, they're coming out!"
Someone in the crowd shouted in surprise.
I saw figures holding hands and rushing out from the black smoke.
Seeing those young figures, the parents rushed over like crazy.
"Tiantian, Tiantian, are you okay? Are you okay? Mommy is so scared, so scared!"
"Xiaoliang, my precious grandson, my precious grandson, you scared me to death..."
"Thank you, thank you PLA comrades, you have worked hard..."
Hearing these words of thanks, Qin Feng's heart felt like it was being stabbed by knives.
Is it hard?
There are so many people who work a hundred times harder than me!
Qin Feng wiped his eyes suddenly, said nothing, and rushed into the billowing smoke again resolutely.
There are still many children who have not been rescued. I can't stop yet, I can't stop yet!
......
At the same time, the first fire truck finally arrived at the scene at lightning speed.
Before the car came to a complete stop, the door was already opened.
A group of fully armed firefighters wearing fireproof suits and carrying fire extinguishers rushed into the smoke.
At the same time, fire water cannons were also aimed at the position above the fire source, attempting to prevent the fire from spreading by lowering the flame temperature.
But obviously, this approach simply doesn't work.
The old oil stains accumulated on the restaurant's exterior walls became the best combustion catalyst.
Instead of driving the flames back, the water column caused them to react even more violently.
The billowing black smoke mixed with water vapor continued to rise upwards, the scene was like the end of the world, and it made people feel extremely scared.
"Captain, the fire can't be put out. We need to use foam!"
The firefighter operating the water cannon shouted anxiously at the detachment leader Hong Ming.
At this moment, Hong Ming had also changed into a fireproof suit: "Even if I can't put it out, I have to put it out. The foam truck is on the way!"
"Before that, you must control the fire until we rescue all the children safely!"
After saying that, he carried the fire extinguisher and plunged into the thick smoke.
With the help of professional firefighters, the rescue work was quickly alleviated.
Qin Feng was finally able to take a breath.
In just a few minutes, including the teacher.
A total of more than forty children were successfully rescued from the upstairs.
No one's life was threatened at the scene anymore, and everyone's hearts were finally relieved.
The next task is to try every possible way to put out the fire and eliminate safety hazards.
The foam truck is on the way, I believe the fire will be under control soon...
At this moment, Qin Feng's whole body was shiny black, like a crow rolling in a pile of coal.
Only the little camouflage on his pants and the combat boots could prove his military identity.
Wow~
Qin Feng rinsed his eyes and nose with mineral water while pouring it into his mouth.
Just now, without protective clothing and masks.
He managed to shuttle back and forth three times in the thick smoke.
Not only was his physical strength severely overdrawn, but his respiratory tract felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a thousand needles.
If it weren't for the system helping to support his body, with his original physical condition, he would have collapsed long ago.
"Sure, young man. You saved so many by yourself."
At this moment, the detachment leader Hong Ming next to him took off his fireproof suit, shook off the sweat on his head and said.
Qin Feng glanced at him and wanted to speak, but his throat was so sore that he couldn't make a sound.
Hong Ming thought he was too tired, so he came over and handed him a towel to wipe his face.
"My name is Hong Ming. I used to be in the border defense regiment. I joined the fire department after I was demobilized."
"Young comrade, you're great. Without you taking the lead, I don't know how chaotic the scene would be."
"By the way, which unit are you from? You should be an officer, right? I'll have to make a phone call and ask for your commendation later!"
Qin Feng swallowed hard twice, his vocal cords felt like they were being polished by sandpaper.
Before he could open his mouth, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the side.
"One missing, one missing!"
"I ordered twice and there's still one missing. There's someone upstairs, and there's a child upstairs!!"
The teachers were so anxious that they almost cried.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng's body moved subconsciously.
He picked up the gas mask beside him, rushed forward, and plunged into the bottomless smoke.
bake!
And at the same time, a strong wind blew.
The fire, which had been under control, grew stronger again against the wind and suddenly jumped to the fourth floor.
What was even more terrible was that a ball of sparks floated in the wind and landed on the cardboard box by the second-floor window.
In just a blink of an eye, all the debris in the stairs was instantly ignited.
The fiercely burning flames almost illuminated the entire corridor.
The scorching heat forced Hong Ming, who had just put on protective clothing, and two other firefighters out.
Watching the roaring fire dragon constantly swimming in the black smoke and the raging fire burning on the fourth floor of the early education center.
At this moment, everyone present was so nervous that their hearts were in their throats...
