Chapter Seventy-Two: Underwater Rescue of the Church

But it's not interesting to brush too many of these posts, he turned off the stickers, and lay on the bed to get some sleep.

He looked at Ji Mingxue sideways, with a faint milky fragrance surrounding the tip of his nose.

"Mingxue, am I the first boy to spend the night in the same bed with you?"

Ji Mingxue said: "No, my brother is." ”

"You said Ji Mingchen, that kid is arrogant, he owes a beating. ”

Ji Mingxue nodded happily: "I also feel quite underwhelmed, you find a chance to help me beat him again." ”

If it weren't for his brother's gambling at Omen, she would have been studying for an MBA at Harvard.

Chen Fan was skeptical: "Are you and your brother brother brother and sister?"

Ji Mingxue's face was a little lonely: "Yes, a mother's womb, who made him a boy, he was destined to be the heir of the family from birth." ”

The torrential rain poured down into the evening.

In the evening, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Ji Mingxue asked Chen Fan: "What's going on outside?"

"You stay in the room, I'll go out and have a look. Chen Fan got out of bed and walked out of the door wearing slippers.

I saw that the landlord downstairs was gesturing with three two men and one woman, and his mouth was purring.

Hu Fei and Lu Zhengyi also went out and looked curiously at the hall from the second floor.

Chen Fan asked, "Hu Fei, what's the matter?"

Hu Fei listened for a while and said: "It seems that the church in the town is flooded, and some worshippers are trapped inside, these three people are the staff of the town, and they asked the landlord if there is any food to donate here, but it seems that the landlord does not agree." ”

Suddenly, one of the black men looked up and saw Chen Fan and Lu Zhengyi, and immediately waved at them.

The landlord waved his hand desperately and said, "Go back to the room, don't come down." ”

The black man muttered to Chen Fan and Lu Zhengyi. Hu Fei translated: "The church in the town is flooded and needs a man to help the disaster, and you two are temporarily requisitioned. ”

Chen Fan looked stunned: What kind of requisition? What kind of fame is involved, he doesn't know what the situation is, and why he is requisitioned.

At this time, the black man had already rushed upstairs and grabbed Chen Fan and Lu Zhengyi's wrists.

Chen Fan frowned and shouted, "Let go!"

Hu Fei followed the translator.

The big black man let go of his hand, folded his hands and pleaded, "Now there are not enough people in the town, please." ”

Chen Fan said: "What does the lack of manpower in the town have to do with us, we are not from the town, we will leave as soon as the rain stops." ”

The big black man actually bent his knees and knelt down at Chen Fan: "Friend, help us, that's 32 lives! The rain suddenly rose and sealed the worshippers ......."

With the elaboration of the black man, Chen Fan finally figured out what the situation was. It turned out that the drainage system of the church was suddenly blocked, and the water level of the sunken church rose so high that it was more than two meters high, and the worshippers were trapped inside and could not swim out.

Chen Fan can only swim in a dog-planing style, and Lu Zhengyi's water ability is very good, as can be seen from the fact that he jumped into the park lake some time ago without saying a word to rescue Qin Shu who fell into the water.

Chen Fan asked, "Then what rescue plan do you have now?"

The black man danced and said, "We have come up with three plans now, and the first plan is to let people dive in." Due to the large number of elderly people in the church, they cannot swim and are not physically good, so this plan has certain risks. The second plan is drainage, re-passing the water to another sewer, this plan is more troublesome, involving water level detection, construction tools, strong professional ability, can not be completed in a short time. The third option was to dredge the sewers and carry out dredging work, but the sewers would take years to block, and it would take long dives to do so, and there were no professional divers in town. ”

Chen Fan asked, "Since the three plans are difficult, what are you going to do?"

The black man said: "Now the first priority is to save a few, to ensure the safety of these people's lives is important, we are fully implementing the first plan, diving to save people, but there are not many people in our town who can swim, some strong young people have gone to the capital to work." ”

The town of Pudding is landlocked and borders the Philippine Prairie. There are few branches of the river, so there are not many people who can dive, not to mention that some young people have left the town, and the rest of the town are some old and weak women and children, who are not qualified for diving rescue type work.

Chen Fan asked: "Did you call the police, why didn't you let the police save you?"

The black man said: "The police station has been dispatched, but there are not enough life jackets in the police station, and someone has already driven to the neighboring town to borrow life jackets." The sheriff has asked us to go to the town to collect supplies, and the rescue has already begun, so please lend a hand. ”

Chen Fan groaned: "Okay, let's go over and have a look." ”

The black man slapped his thigh: "Great!" Although no useful materials were collected at this house, it was not in vain to requisition Chen Fan and Lu Zhengyi to help.

The black man waved downstairs, and a man and a woman immediately turned away and went to another house to collect supplies.

Chen Fan, Lu Zhengyi, and Hu Fei put on wide raincoats and followed the black man into the rainstorm, and his figure gradually submerged.

The landlord folded his hands in prayer: "Amen ......"

Nearly 130 mm of rain fell like a knife, splashing countless water on the ground.

The four of them flashlights walked through the night like ghosts.

The sunken Gothic church stands in a solidified form in the darkness of the night, like an island.

The church was surrounded by people who lit flashlights in front of the church.

Under the light, three or four policemen were struggling through the water, carrying the old man to the shore on their backs, and then turning and diving into the water.

There was a policeman in the water waving his hand and muttering something.

Hu Fei translated: "He said that there was an old man in the church who was in shock. ”

The water had already flooded the door frame on the first floor of the church, and Chen Fan's heart suddenly clenched.

Without saying a word, Lu Zhengyi took off his clothes, jumped into the water in his big red pants, and swam forward like a nimble swimming fish, and when he approached the door frame, he took a sharp breath, dived into the water, and got into it through the main entrance.

Entering the church, Lu Zhengyi dived out of the water and saw more than 20 elderly people standing on the altar dedicated to God, and the water had already reached their knees.

Lu Zhengyi came to the side of the altar, grabbed the old man who was in shock in the middle of the crowd, carried it on his back, kicked his foot on the edge of the platform, and the whole person ran out. He dived into the water, swam out of the gate, went to the shore, and went up to the top, and immediately someone pulled the old man up.

Violent cheers and applause erupted all around, and applause was like thunder.

"Mr. Fan, they are praising Lao Lu, saying that he is the son of Poseidon......"

A police car slammed into a halt in front of the church, and the brakes made a huge splash.

A policeman got out of the police car, pulled seven or eight life jackets from the back seat and threw them on the ground.

He shouted, "The life jacket has arrived." ”

But no one at the scene stepped forward to get a life jacket, and taking a life jacket meant diving in to save people.

And now the water level is rising at a rate visible to the naked eye, and there is no guarantee of safety after entering the water. They all want others to go down, watch the excitement by themselves, and help with the flashlight, it is not necessarily life-threatening to go down, but there must be no danger to life if they don't go down.

The policeman who pulled the life jacket over did not expect such a scene to happen, so he could only put on his life jacket and jump down, as a policeman, he had the obligation to save people.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, took off his clothes and handed them to Hu Fei, picked up a life jacket and put it on his body.

Hu Fei hurriedly said: "Mr. Fan, there is danger below, you let Lao Lu go, we have not stood idly by, we have done our duty." ”

Chen Fan said: "Hu Fei, I can also order dog planing swimming, and besides, I have a life jacket, so there should be no danger to my life." ”

Chen Fan buttoned up his life jacket and jumped into the water, and there was immediately a burst of warm applause all around.

After jumping into the water, Chen Fan used the "dog planing stunt" and swam into the church, he grabbed the door frame, took a sharp breath, pushed back, and entered the church, and the church flashlight.

Chen Fan swam to the altar, picked up an old man, and swam out, at this time the water level was already below his waist, this group of old people obviously looked a little anxious, the old man on Chen Fan's back grabbed his shoulder, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

After Chen Fan rescued three people, the water level suddenly rose sharply, drowning directly to his neck. The water level is already dangerous, and if you drown it again, you will reach the nose.

When Chen Fan returned to the Shentai Divine Terrace, there were only seven or eight old people left here, and it was a question of who to save first.

The seven or eight old men obviously realized that the situation was not good, and one by one they rushed forward, arguing fiercely, and pointing at themselves one after another. Although Chen Fan couldn't understand what they were saying, he knew that these old men wanted him to save himself first.

Seeing humanity in the midst of the catastrophe, if these people don't fight, they may be able to save another one, but now that the situation is frozen, the water level exceeds the warning line. The police outside were afraid to come in, and the gang had apparently given up.

Lu Zhengyi swam to the shore, and the sheriff muttered something.

Hu Fei translated: "Old Lu, the sheriff said that he is very grateful to you, but for your safety, don't go in to save people, these people in the back have been abandoned." ”

Lao Lu sighed, these situations had long been expected, it was impossible to rescue everyone in such a short time.

He looked at Hu Fei and suddenly said nervously, "What about Brother Fan?"

"Mr. Fan just went in, why hasn't he come out for so long?" Hu Fei also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly said.

"Not good!" Lao Lu scolded, kicked his foot on the shore, dived into the water, and got into the church.

On the altar, seven or eight old people push me. Suddenly, an old man grabbed Chen Fan's life jacket and pulled it down desperately.

Chen Fan couldn't believe it and said: "You are sick, I am kind enough to save you, you still snatched my life jacket, I am not good at water, I will die if you give you the life jacket." ”

But these black people couldn't understand what Chen Fan was saying at all, and began to scramble for Chen Fan's life jacket one after another.

In the face of life and death, even God is vulnerable!

Lu Zhengyi turned back, and just happened to see this scene, Chen Fan's hair was grabbed by an old man, his head was pressed into the water, and there were people unbuttoning Chen Fan's life jacket underwater.

Chen Fan's head choked in the water, and an unbearable feeling of suffocation reached his chest, and it was the first time he was so close to death. He struggled desperately, but he was pressed to death, his head was in the water, and he couldn't breathe at all!

Uncomfortable!

"Damn!" Lu Zhengyi roared angrily, swam forward, and smashed a fist in the face of the old man who was pressed on Chen Fan's head.

The old man received a blow to the face, and his hand was released. Chen Fan slammed out of the water, and two fists slammed into the stomach of the old man who unbuttoned his life jacket, Lu Zhengyi hugged Chen Fan, clamped his legs, like a flexible dolphin, and swam out the door!

"Brother Fan, take a breath, I'll take you out!"

Chen Fan sucked the last breath of oxygen violently, followed Lu Zhengyi into the water, found the door frame at a depth of more than a meter underwater, and rushed out together.

At the same time, the flood had completely flooded the first floor of the church!

Chen Fan was pushed ashore by Lu Zhengyi on his dying, gasping for breath in the pouring rain.

There is a great terror between life and death.

"Mr. Fan, how are you feeling!" Hu Fei squatted down and patted Chen Fan's cheek.

With Lu Zhengyi's water nature, even if the water completely flooded the first floor of the church, he was sure to rescue two more, but when he saw the scene of Chen Fan being bullied, he completely lost his affection for these black people, and he was no longer willing to go into the water again.
