Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 182: Fire Extinguishing and Saving People

When the Qianyan soldiers heard the words "fire", they took off their armor and followed the centurion into the only door that was open except for the main gate.

Su Ping had no choice but to follow suit, taking off his armor and setting off without his spear.

The waterwheel is actually filled with water, with a faucet on top. Through the mechanism inside, it achieves the function of a high-pressure water gun in another world.

Of course, the vehicle had to be heavy in order to carry enough water to put out the fire, so it was pulled by two tall horses in the front, and on the back and sides, many Qianyan soldiers were pushing it.

The garage door opens to both sides. It is very tall and wide. It is not far from the gate of Qianyan Police Station, but much taller and wider.

Shounuo glanced back at the Qianyan Army soldier who had just come down from the roof and shouted, "You stay and watch over the office. Everyone else, get going!"

With everyone working together and with the help of two tall horses pulling it, the seemingly heavy waterwheel was able to move forward at the same speed as a normal person running.

Feiyunpo, near Liuli Pavilion.

Several Qianyan soldiers who were patrolling here, with the help of nearby residents, used buckets of water to put out small fires on the periphery, but this could only delay the fire. Facing the raging fire, this little water was just a drop in the bucket.

The water truck finally arrived at this time, thanks to the residents' willingness to give way. Otherwise, the streets would be full of people and it would be useless no matter how fast it moved.

The centurion kept his promise and left the waterwheel immediately. He ran to one of the Qianyan soldiers and asked urgently, "Is there anyone in the fire?"

"No more, everyone has evacuated in time!" said the Qianyan soldier, and poured the bucket in his hand into the fire. Then he put the bucket down and returned to the team to the waterwheel.

"Raise the faucet of the waterwheel. There is water. Brothers of the Ice God's Eye go to the roof of the building next to you. The rest of you should evacuate the crowd!"

One sentence, one breath, a total of three orders. When each order was issued, the corresponding Qianyan Army set out.

On top of the waterwheel, the dragon head was raised high and aimed at the raging fire. A stream of water that was trying to compete with the fire gushed out instantly and poured into the pavilion.

The Qianyan Army who did not have the Eye of God, such as Su Ping, Shounuo, and a dozen others, quickly set up cordons and circled locations where potential safety hazards might occur.

Because if the fire is not put out in time, or after it is extinguished, there is a risk of the floors collapsing. At this time, the Qianyan Army is in front and the people are behind them.

We must be fully prepared and take responsibility for this matter.

Su Ping had been trained in drawing cordons in the recruit camp, but this was his first time facing the scene, so he still wanted some veterans to help and correct him.

Because what is taught in books are the basics, and to apply them properly, practical experience is needed. The Qianyan Army who helped to correct and pointed out that the method should be moved one step further was of course not surprised by this.

Who wasn't a recruit back then? Who hasn't had their mistakes pointed out? It's right to be fair at a fire scene, no matter how big or small the matter is. But if you really scold someone for everything, what do you call that?

They are the Qianyan Army, the Qianyan Army that saves people from danger. They are not ruffians, bandits or robbers, and they will not curse at people at every turn.

On the rooftop, the flood created by the holder of the Eye of God poured down into the fire, with ice mixed in with it. It did not flow into the fire, but blocked the direction of the fire and contained the fire in this building.

The fire suddenly subsided, and the thick smoke was dispersed by several holders of the Eye of the Wind God. The Thousand Rocks Army worked together and finally prevented the losses from getting bigger.

Finally, the flames were completely extinguished and no more flames could be seen.

Shounuo pulled out an axe from the side of the car, and the several Qianyan soldiers who had set up a cordon retreated one by one and stayed behind, and went forward to pull out the axes.

“Su Ping.” Shounuo turned around and waved, “Be quick and follow me!”

"Yes." Su Ping left the cordon, also pulled out an axe with a broad blade, and followed into the extinguished fire scene.

After entering, there was no need to keep promises or say anything. Everyone had their own work to do, or checked the fire scene for signs of re-ignition.

And whether there are any dangerous items that may cause an explosion, but this is an open building with air ventilation on all sides, so everything can be seen at a glance.

Shounuo stood not far from the entrance and asked slowly, "Do you know what we should check if we are in a relatively closed building?"

"Possibility of re-ignition, dangerous explosives, and possible flames and fire sources left behind during large-scale firefighting." Su Ping looked at the dark floor under his feet and answered according to what he had learned in the recruit camp.

Shounuo nodded and said, "That's right. The fire that started today is in a place with a wide view and not so many rooms, so it is easier for us to put out the fire and inspect it.

Then tell me again, why do you need to bring an axe?"

"If you encounter an obstacle that you cannot cross, you can use an axe to split it apart. If there are survivors in the fire but are trapped, in addition to putting out the fire, you may also need an axe to clear a path," said Su Ping.

"That's right." Shounuo wanted to ask again, but was hit lightly on the head by a small piece of wood chips.

He raised his head quickly to check, but before he could see clearly, he heard the sound of wood tearing above.

Years of experience have given him muscle memory. He moved his feet to the side and felt his feet leave the ground and he was three or four steps away from there.

It turned out that Su Ping also reacted. After the falling object pulled the centurion up, he took a few steps back.

Shounuo gave him a thumbs up with his left hand, and then slowly said: "This is a negative example, which shows that you should never let your guard down at any time in a fire scene. Even if I did the same thing just now, don't learn from me!"

Su Ping nodded reluctantly.

"Centurion, are you all right?"

"It's okay." Shounuo shouted back to avoid making his subordinates worry.

After all the checks were completed and it was confirmed that there were no signs of re-ignition, Shounuo called for the team to withdraw, and everyone left the fire scene and put the axe back into the box on the side of the waterwheel.

"Let's withdraw the cordon. There is no danger of collapse. Let's withdraw." Shounuo waved his hand, then walked to the waterwheel and reached out to press it.

After the Qianyan soldiers had packed up, they were preparing to push the water cart away, but they heard a scream, so sharp and piercing, containing deep fear.

The Qianyan soldiers looked for the source of the sound and took a closer look. They saw two figures standing on the balcony on the fourth floor opposite. One of them was inside the railing, holding a kitchen knife against the neck of the person standing outside.

"Qianyan Army, you are pretty powerful. How about you try to save her again?"

The person standing inside had one eye wide open but the other eye was only a slit, and there were large areas of burns on his face, looking hideous and terrifying.

The hostage he held stood on the edge, looking at the ground far away from his feet, trembling all over, with snot and tears flowing uncontrollably, and crying and shouting continuously.

Shounuo looked solemn as he ordered the Qianyan Army beside him to launch a rescue plan, while he talked to the man to attract his attention.

"Hey, it's dangerous to stand up there. Go in first and step back. Don't hurt the little girl. This is very dangerous!"

“Bullshit, do I need you to remind me?” The fiery-faced man holding the woman hostage shouted angrily, then laughed uncontrollably, “Come on, aren’t you very capable? Come and save her. If you wait a little longer, my hands will get sore and I can’t let go, then she will… hehehehe!”

The woman had no strength left in her body. If he really let go of her hand, there would be no doubt about the consequences. She would probably fall down.

Not dying but becoming disabled is an extremely bad outcome, and the Qianyan Army does not want to see that. Most of the onlookers who are already far away do not want to see that either.

Shounuo took a deep breath and shouted upwards, "Hold on tight, don't let anyone fall."

"If you tell me to hold on tight, I'll do as you say. Wouldn't that make me lose face? Hehe... I won't!" The man with a fiery face grabbed the woman's shoulders and pushed her out, then pulled her back.

After this back and forth, everyone on the ground was shocked, and the woman among them burst into tears, her mind went blank and she was in a trance.

The man with a burning face leaned close to the woman's ear and asked with bared teeth, "How was it? Was it fun? Do you want to do it again?"

The woman was so frightened that she couldn't hear anything. Even if she could hear it, what could she do? She couldn't really answer.

Shounuo gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, trying to stop it but it was of no use. The man simply ignored his shouts and turned a deaf ear to them.

"It seems that it is not fun. How about we try something else?" The man with a burning face slowly raised the kitchen knife. His ferocious look was shocking.

"Your face is too dull. How about I give you another scar, just like mine. Hahaha..." the man said, and he raised his knife and cut the left side of the woman's cheek.

Shounuo saw that his persuasion was in vain and the hostage was also harmed, his eyes darkened and he could only make a gesture with his hand.

Whoosh!

A featherless arrow, with the blessing of the wind elemental power, shot through the air and hit the man's arm holding the knife in the blink of an eye. The severe pain made him let go, and the kitchen knife fell from the balcony.

At the same time, several Qianyan soldiers who had been lying in ambush at the stairs on the third floor, waiting for an opportunity, rushed forward, dragged the two men inside, subdued the man with the burned face, and then checked the woman's injuries.

"Report to the centurion, the murderer has been subdued and the hostage has been rescued successfully. He only has a scratch on his skin, no other injuries!"

On the balcony, a Qianyan soldier reported loudly.

Shounuo breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Take the prisoners to the General Affairs Department and send the hostages to a nearby clinic. The rest of you, pack up!"

No one dares to disobey an order.

On the third-floor balcony, the Qianyan Army, who had spread out a large net to prevent the hostages from falling, and the Qianyan Army, who had just climbed up again on the roof of the opposite building to set up crossbows, all ran downstairs and pushed the water cart back.

Overall, everything is going pretty well. As for whether the wound on the woman's face can be healed and whether she will blame the Qianyan Army, that is a matter for the future.

The important thing now is to push the waterwheel back first, and then see if there is anyone there. If there is, continue, if not, rest. This has always been the unchanging tradition of the Qianyan Army.

Su Ping pushed the waterwheel and felt that Liyue Harbor was not safe either. However, these dangers were usually resolved by the "farmers" when they just emerged.

Those "farmers", dressed in yellow, were called the Qianyan Army.
