Heart fire

As the water supply was cut off for a while, the eastern building complex, which caught fire first, was the most severely damaged.Fortunately, the local fire squadron and special service squadron concentrated on fighting the fire at the early stage, so the fire in this area was suppressed at the earliest.

After receiving the order from their superiors, most of the troops originally performing tasks in the east were transferred to other areas for support, and only two water guns remained to suppress the fire.The first squadron of the Provincial Special Service Brigade served as a backup to replace the internal attackers in the previous period and entered the roadway to complete the tasks of extinguishing open flames and cleaning up remaining fires.

Although they have participated in several actual combat exercises, the real fire environment is still several times worse than the training, and the continuous occurrence of unexpected situations does not give firefighters any room for preparation and choice.Together with the squad leader and several team members, Wen Yue laid the extended water belt to the burning building deep in the roadway. After the laying was completed, he first entered one of the four-story wooden buildings to find the source of the fire.

The wooden building had already collapsed once, and there was still an open fire inside the building, and the smoke was thick. The lighting equipment could only illuminate the area less than one meter in front, and it was impossible to observe its structure and environment at all, making it very difficult to move forward.Wen Yue's squad leader is a strong northern guy named Wang Jiao. After preliminary investigation, he judged that the open fire below the fourth floor was caused by falling burning objects, and felt that the floor under his feet seemed not right.

A wave of heat was constantly pouring out from under the floor, and Wen Yue also noticed it. Before the squad leader reminded him, he yelled at the teammates behind him: "Don't come in yet! It's too heavy!"

A group of people exited the door immediately, set up the hose and sprayed it to the outside of the wooden building.A few minutes later, the squadron leader called all the team members to assemble. Wang Jiao reported to him the situation of the wooden building, and received instructions to immediately attack inside to create conditions for fire fighting.

Because the floor area could not be accurately known, Wang Jiao had no choice but to ask everyone to report their own weight, and made a simple estimate of the bearing capacity of the floor. Finally, half of them were screened out, leaving a few light weight players including Wen Yue. After a little tidying up, prepare to enter the fire scene for the second time.

"Can't we bring it in along the water? It can be a little lighter, and we have to bring a toothless saw." A team member asked with a bundle of ropes.

Slightly salty sweat slid from the corners of the forehead into the end of the eyes, making people blink uncontrollably.Wen Yue picked up the fire ax and put it on his waist, and emphasized to his teammates: "No, you forgot what the instructor said before we came in? You must bring a lifeline. Let's tie it together later to be safe."

But Wang Jiao said: "There are risks in being tied together. If there is a collapse or entanglement, none of them will be able to escape. Go in and cut a smoke exhaust vent on the first floor to see what's going on below."

Wen Yue was a little puzzled: "How could the basement be on fire? How can the fire burn from top to bottom? Do you want to think about it again?"

"What are you thinking?" Wang Jiao was impatient, not daring to delay the task assigned by the squadron leader. "It's really unlikely that the basement will catch fire. Maybe we're overly sensitive. Let's break it down first. Be careful."

Two minutes later, six firefighters entered the wooden building again with all their equipment.Wang Jiao and three team members cooperated to put out the fire, while Wen Yue and another person were left to explore the ground and use a toothless saw to demolish the floor.

The thick smoke quickly separated everyone, and the loud cutting sound hindered communication with each other.The keel material is very weak, and it doesn't take too much effort to tear it apart. However, in the middle of the cutting, the floor under the feet of teammate Yang Shousheng suddenly loosened, and then cracked and collapsed, forming a big hole!High temperature and smoke gushed out from the hole at the same time, and the moment he fell, he grabbed the fence of the stairs beside him in a panic, and let out a heart-wrenching cry while the soles of his feet were hanging in the air!

"Wear and read"

At this time, Wen Yue was operating a toothless saw four or five meters away from Yang Shousheng. He immediately dropped the things in his hand when he heard the cry for help, and subconsciously took two steps in the direction of the sound. In a few seconds, the floor under his feet collapsed again. Wen Yue, who couldn't see anything clearly, didn't even have time to shout, and the whole person fell to the ground floor with the broken plank, and fell heavily on the ground !

...

After a brief blanking of the brain, the consciousness gradually became clear, and the limbs barely regained consciousness.The pain caused by the fall and impact then appeared in various parts of the body, and the pain became more intense.The smoke at the bottom was thicker than that at the top, and it was impossible to see the surroundings with just a little overhead light.It was pitch black, tinnitus continued, mixed with burning noises and electric leakage sounds that could not be identified.Wen Yue tried to move his body and move his hands and feet, but found that he seemed to have fallen on a pile of debris, and was cushioned to a certain extent, so that his limbs and spine would not break.

Although the reason is unknown, he realized at this moment that the burning of the bottom floor has probably lasted as long as the top, and the high temperature, blocked by a thin layer of metal ceiling and asphalt concrete, has turned the entire space into a "fire box." ", the floor keels that were continuously burned could no longer bear their weight, and the judgment was obviously wrong, but in the cruel fire scene, any pre-preparation and calculation may be futile.

It's too hot. Wen Yue has never really felt the temperature that non-humans can bear. The heat waves bake the skin through layers of fabrics, and the underwear seems to disappear, giving people the illusion that they are no longer naked. At this moment, the clothing is like a red-hot iron armor covering the "naked" body, consuming the water in the body, the sweat evaporates quickly, and even the saliva is not spared.

After clarifying his situation, the first thing that came to his mind was intense fear.Disappearing vision, unbearable high temperature, claustrophobic space, unknown dangers, and death that will come at any time, even if only one of them is faced, it may cause professionally trained and experienced firefighters to collapse. For a newcomer like Wen Yue, what is more terrifying than the internal and external difficulties is the endless darkness. Maybe the darkness will not be directly fatal, but it will definitely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Few firefighters survived the collapse or flash.The lesson of too much blood made Wen Yue realize that he would soon usher in a series of death processes, loss of body fluids, blood volume drop, hypoxia, suffocation, shock, buried by heavy objects, burned by fire, heartbreaking After the severe pain in the lungs, the nerve endings lose their sensory function, and can only be swallowed numbly. Everything will be inhuman torment.

The body does not seem to have been seriously injured, but Wen Yue remained motionless, and closed his eyes instinctively. He couldn't believe it but had to believe it. The self who had undergone rigorous training in psychology and skills, the confident and smug self when he came, He gave up before even trying.

Despair beats everything before courage and faith come.

Like the plots described in many movies and novels, in the past decades of life, countless fragments of memories are constantly pieced together, flashed, and played back in the mind. The image of him was chaotic and fuzzy, as if it had been a lifetime away.

Over the years, the family business has been getting better and better, and my father's beer belly is getting bigger and bigger; the last time I videotaped with my mother, I found that there really seemed to be a few more fine lines around the corners of her eyes; Grandpa's crutch should be replaced, right? Why is life getting better, but he is still buckling up?Where is the piano?Where's my piano?Is it still in its original place in the study?Calculating the time, Jiangzhou is in the flood season again. If it is not covered well and gets wet, it will affect the tone.

If I'm not at home, will they bicker about other trivial matters besides me?What are you doing now?In the living room and at the dining table, will they talk about me in three sentences, complaining that I am disobedient?

I miss them, and I also miss Zhou Tong.I have known so many classmates and friends since childhood, but Zhou Tong is the only one I can think of at the moment.

where is he?is it safe?Did you stay with the trainer honestly?If he hadn't been a soldier, he must be reading books and playing games with him in the dormitory now.But if it's a weekend, he might be called out on a date by his big sister.Today I die, what should he do if he is alone in the future?Can you still make up with your big sister?Big sister will definitely take good care of him, what a pity...but what do I know who has never even been in a relationship?What are you worrying about?

I don't want to die.

I have never been in love, I have never felt the heartbeat and sweetness, bliss and love in other people's mouths.what was that like?Will it be as parched and hot as it is now?Hugging, kissing, cuddling, and then passionately getting into each other, owning each other?

As her body temperature kept rising, Wen Yue couldn't help but think of that chaotic kiss with Tu Ke.If the childhood experience is not counted, it is probably the only kiss in this life.The body began to dehydrate, and he couldn't cry, so he could only smile bitterly. If he had known this, he should have worked hard to make that kiss more perfect...

Yes, there is also the Tu team and the trainers, they will also take care of and protect Zhou Tong.Is Team Tu still mad at me?Probably not, he already taught me boxing... I really want to learn boxing, I really want to call "Master" again.What did Master say to me?He said that the counterattack after the defense is the most beautiful. He said that you are not allowed to close your eyes when you feel scared...

No, close your eyes.

Read!

As if walking through the gate of hell and returning to the world, Wen Yue suddenly opened his eyes, and his slack mind gathered again with a cry from above his head.That was his squad leader, the comrade-in-arms who undertook pressure to strengthen his psychological quality with him on weekdays, the senior who encouraged him and guided him every day, and taught him not to be afraid or panic when he entered the fire scene.

"Wen Yue! Wen Yue! Can you hear me?"

"Squad leader..." Wen Yue struggled to sit up, endured the pain and turned down the pile of debris, walked through the thick smoke, and groped towards a weak flashlight light source.

"Squad leader...Squad leader!" After regaining his sense of survival, his limbs suddenly gained some strength, and Wen Yue's hoarse and dry voice became louder and louder. "...here I am! Monitor! I can see your flashlight!"

Yang Shousheng, who was hanging between the floor and the basement, has been rescued.Knowing that Wen Yue was still trapped inside, Wang Jiao ordered the others to evacuate quickly, crawled on the fragile floor, and finally found the collapsed hole in the mess.

After hearing the response, he shook the flashlight in his hand again: "How are you? Can you stand up and grab my hand?"

Wen Yue had already crawled below the entrance of the cave, and looking up through the blurred mask, he realized that he might have to stand on something to reach Wang Jiao's hand, so he shouted: "I'm fine, I'll be fine when I fall. I hit my back on the air bottle, and my feet hurt, but I can stand! I need something to step on! Find it now!"

An orange flame was faintly visible in the entrance of the cave, and Wang Jiao's face was scorched by the heat wave: "Okay! Be careful! I'll wait for you here!"

Returning along the original road, Wen Yue quickly touched an abandoned chair, stood on it and grabbed Wang Jiao's hand smoothly.But when Wang Jiao tried to pull him up, Wen Yue's weight was exerting force in the opposite direction, constantly pulling Wang Jiao into the cave.

After several attempts, Wang Jiao shouted helplessly: "No! I can't pull you out alone!"

"It's okay, let go." Wen Yue said calmly. "You'll fall if you pull it like this. Don't worry...we'll think of another way!"

Another 10 minutes passed. During this period, several firefighters entered the wooden building alternately, trying to rescue Wen Yue in various ways while trying their best to overcome the internal heat flow.The hose is too slippery to hold, and the hole narrows after the ladder is put in, making it impossible for rescuers to pass through. Forcing the demolition will cause a more serious subsidence...The continuous high temperature and several times of climbing and then slipping make the Wen Yue's physical strength was close to exhaustion, he leaned against the bottom of the ladder, listened to the low air volume alarm issued by the air bottle, and panted continuously: "No...don't worry...protect yourself... ..Own......"

Still couldn't see anything, but Wen Yue stared at the smoke covering his body, unwilling to blink any more.

...

The assembly point on the east side was set in front of the building on fire on the street. Zhou Tong and five full-time firefighters stood on the side of the high-spray vehicle. Counting the time, they reported the situation to the command office every 8 minutes.

"Got it, please continue to communicate." In the public channel, it was inconvenient for Xi Yang to talk to him, so he could only sit on the other side anxiously, waiting for the next time the walkie-talkie rang.

In almost every district, firefighters were missing and injured. Ye Zheng, Wu Wei and others had already traveled to and from the fire scene several times.Zhou Tong didn't dare to distract himself, for fear of missing any distress signal. However, as the instructor said, all worries may have become established facts as early as the moment they decided to become firefighters.

After several rounds of rescue failed, Wang Jiao immediately used the walkie-talkie to send out a call for help after withdrawing from the fire scene.Although the communication was very difficult, Zhou Tong immediately distinguished several key information from the intermittent voice: the southeast direction, the second collapse, the basement, and the No. [-] Provincial Special Service Squadron.

Even without an accurate name, it couldn't stop Wen Yue's face and figure from appearing in his mind.An ominous premonition filled his heart, making his nerves tense and his heart beating faster.In a short period of time, the other party called for help three times in a row. Before the third time, Zhou Tong led people out from the assembly point. Read, at this moment, he has to stand up.

"Zhou Tong...Zhou Tong, listen to me." In the command office, Xi Yang frowned and clenched the walkie-talkie uneasily. "Don't be impulsive, the second collapse is very dangerous, first..."

"Instructor, there is no time!" Zhou Tong took a big step, and in a blink of an eye, he found the entrance of the alley where the first squadron entered, pushed away the chaotic debris piled up along the road, and avoided the burning and falling wood debris above his head, non-stop Run toward the end in the southeast direction.

"Request urgent intervention!"

The deeper you go, the weaker the signal becomes.Gradually, the walkie-talkie stopped receiving responses, leaving only the hasty and noisy exchanges of others.None of those voices belonged to Zhou Tong. None of those high, low, rough, vague, unsteady or humble voices belonged to Zhou Tong.His hands were getting colder and colder, and his heart was getting more and more flustered. Xi Yang kept looking at his watch, pacing back and forth between the fire trucks anxiously.Tu Ke may be able to understand, but he can only press the intercom to order the commander standing on the east side: "Mobilize two more water guns to cover the intervention team!"

Xi Yang was still trying to contact Zhou Tong, and even suspected that his walkie-talkie was out of battery or malfunctioning, so he wanted to come to Tuke to try a few more times.Obviously every soldier in the fire scene is equally important to him, and he should do what he said, trust him, let him go, don't worry about what will happen, just be a calm trainer, He did his job well, but the chaotic time and space forcibly pulled him back five years ago, when he faced Zhou Yi's departure for the last time.

Panic, tension, worry, fear, everything seems to be repeating itself.

Five years, four seasons and more than 800 days and nights, he has imagined more than once, if he could be braver at that time, if he could plan his strategies as he is now, and if he could do it again Given the chance again, I will definitely do my best to protect him and save his life.But when this moment really came, and I really had to face it again, I realized that the so-called stronger than before was nothing but self-forgiveness and comfort for a long time.Now he is still cowardly, still crumbling at the touch of a finger, still unable to bear the pain of loss, despite being dominated by fear but helpless.

However, at the next moment, Yao Hongwei, who finally arrived, had just stepped into the command office and took over the on-site command. He quickly put on his helmet, carried the air hoo on his back, and ran towards the direction Zhou Tong left without hesitation.
