It wasn't until he vomited up all the inventory in his stomach, leaving only a little blue sour water, that Zuo Yang straightened up and wiped his mouth.

Turning around, the first thing I saw was a pair of sneakers with a dark black color, and then, looking up along the sneakers, a beautiful girl with short hair bent over, covering her nose, stood there calmly looking at him.

Seeing her, the first thought that rose in Zuo Yang's heart was: This girl's feet are too big.

The shoe size of these sneakers is obviously a lot bigger for girls.

But it doesn't matter.

Pressing down on this inconsequential doubt, Zuo Yang also bent down, covered his nose, and said vaguely: "Hello, little sister, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." After hesitating for a moment, he put on a kind look: "I am the captain of the City Guard, and my name is Zuo Yang." ”

As he spoke, he took a quick look at his surroundings.

Strange, how is it a men's urinal? Isn't this a women's toilet?

After thinking about it, he understood, at this time, the situation was urgent, the fire was blazing, the smoke was filling, it was too late to escape, who would care about the difference between men and women, it is estimated that this little girl was also in a panic, so she chose the men's toilet as a place to escape, after all, most people will think that the toilet is damp and there is no combustible, it should be a good place to escape the fire.

But that's not the case.

The danger of fire lies more in smoke than fire.

Open flames are easy to dodge, but the large amounts of toxic gases produced by combustion are the deadliest.

In the event of a fire, toxic smoke can enter the toilet through the ventilation duct, and the toilet space is small, the concentration of toxic substances will rise rapidly, and the toilet usually has no windows, and if there is, it is very small, and most of them are located in the hidden part of the building, once trapped, it is quite difficult to escape and rescue. So taking refuge in the toilet in the event of a fire is tantamount to self-destruction.

Zuo Yang thought of the wide-open window, and thought to himself that this little girl must have been choked by smoke before opening the window.

Thinking of this, Zuo Yang couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, and his tone was even more gentle: "Don't worry, uncle will definitely save you!"

As he spoke, without waiting for Guo Qiqi to explain something, he strode out of the cubicle, walked straight to the washstand, tore off two strips of cloth from his clothes, and after getting wet, handed one to Guo Qiqi, and the other for his own use.

Qi Qi took it, and was just about to say something, when he saw the bald man cautiously walking to the door of the toilet.

Zuo Yang poked his head out and glanced left and right, and then, he frowned, the casualties here were far more tragic than he expected.

Especially in the middle section, the violent explosion almost opened the upper, middle and lower layers.

Standing on the edge of the fracture and looking down, many people were crushed by the falling rocks and could not move.

And the fire was spreading rapidly around them, and they could not break free, but could only watch the flames eat away at their skin, and the unspeakable pain plunged them into the deepest despair, even the wails seemed so faint.

It's like a hell on earth.

Zuo Yang's eyes flashed with unbearable color, where is this still a human body, it is completely a scorched corpse, these people have given up hope of living, their pupils are dead and godless, in other words, whoever is in such a desperate situation will accept their fate, this is like throwing a group of big living people into the furnace of the crematorium, even if God comes to save them.

Zuo Yang couldn't do anything either.

Just standing on the edge of the break, the hot air was about to scorch his eyebrows, and if he jumped rashly, it was estimated that he would not be able to protect himself.

Zuo Yang's heart was beating wildly, forcing himself to calm down.

Immediately after that, he looked around, and he was now at one of the two ends of the corridor of the ward, and the fire was mainly concentrated in the middle of the room, and had not yet reached this point. Next to the men's restroom is an emergency passage, from which one after another screams come out, noisy and indistinct, people from other floors are scrambling to get downstairs, just listening to the sound can imagine a congested scene.

The men's toilet is diagonally opposite a special care ward, and the door is closed at this time, and a large pool of water seeps out of the crack in the door, and it can be seen that there are people inside, and the other party knows how to deal with the fire, and has blocked the crack of the door with soaked towels and clothes.

But this is only a stopgap measure after all.

This is the twenty-sixth floor, nearly 100 meters, which is the height that is difficult for the ladder to reach, and if you put yourself in the secret room like this, although you can get a moment of safety, unless you wait for rescue, you will sit and wait for death. And looking at this raging fire, even if you really want to extinguish the fire, it is not possible to do it in a short time.

"Just stay by the window and don't walk around. Zuo Yang said a word of advice to Qi Qi.

Then he walked to the door of the intensive care unit and tapped it vigorously while asking loudly, "Is there anyone alive inside!?"

After waiting for about a moment, a voice came out, with a surprising tone: "Yes!

"Open the door!" Zuo Yang continued.

After more than ten seconds, the door opened, and a young man stood there, half of his face covered by a wet towel, and it was impossible to see his exact appearance. At the same time, he also wrapped his body in a wet quilt.

Zuo Yang glanced at him, then looked past him, looked into the ward, and saw a person lying on the hospital bed, so he asked, "Who is that?"

The young man's eyes suddenly darkened, and he said, "It's my employer......"

"Employer?" Zuo Yang looked at him suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

The young man explained: "I'm a nurse. ”

"Is he still alive?" Zuo Yang asked bluntly.

"Already left. The young man sighed, "The old man is very old and suffers from heart disease, and the moment the explosion occurred, he died of a heart attack. ”

“…… Condolences. ”

Zuo Yang patted the other party's shoulder and sighed.

Then, he turned around with his waist bent, pointed to the men's toilet and said, "I'm Zuo Yang, the leader of the city guard team, you go there and wait for me first, and I'll see if there are any other people alive." ”

The young man nodded, dripping with water, walked into the men's toilet, and saw the situation standing in front of the window, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything.

After he left, Zuo Yang did not hesitate to activate the spirit text [Inverted] again, and the whole person walked on those broken walls like a gecko, and it took him a full three minutes before he successfully reached the other end of the corridor.

To his surprise, all the intensive care units were empty.

Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly heard a faint movement from the elevator hall, like a human voice.

He walked briskly to the elevator hall, a space cut off from the corridor of the ward, with a sensor door between the two, and the fire could not spread for the time being. However, as the flames spread, the sensor door was burning, and the sensor door was afraid that it would not be long before it burst.

As soon as he walked into the elevator hall, Zuo Yang saw a familiar back.

He stepped forward and immediately recognized this person, it was Yang Yan's deputy who had a meeting with him before, the deputy captain of the criminal police team named Zhang Dongqiang. At this time, the other party is trying to calm the frightened crowd.

Zuo Yang walked quickly to Zhang Dongqiang's side and asked, "What's the matter? Why don't you let them go down?"

Zhang Dongqiang turned his head and found that the person who came was the captain of the city guard, so he felt a little relieved, and explained: "It's not that they won't be allowed to go down, but there was a stampede on the seventeenth floor, and they have gone down twice just now, but now they are all blocked on the twenty-third floor, and if they go down again, they will be stuck on the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth floors, where the sensor door has failed due to the crowded crowd, and it is not safer than here." ”

"There's no emergency passage here. Zuo Yang said in a deep voice.

"It's not just that. Zhang Dongqiang nodded, "However, the other ones were all blocked by the collapsed rockfall, and only this one was barely passable." By the way, there should be another one at the other end of the hallway, but it can't be crossed. Those who have the ability to pass have long since passed. And those who don't have the ability can only gather here. ”

"I can take them there. Zuo Yang said, paused, and added: "But you have to be a young adult, if you can't move, you can't do it." ”

When he came over just now, there were many big holes in the wall, and it was impossible for people with inconvenient movements to cross them.

Zuo Yang said this with good intentions, but who expected, Zhang Dongqiang's face immediately changed after hearing this, pulled Zuo Yang to the side, and whispered: "Don't tell them about it." ”

"Why?" Zuo Yang didn't understand.

Zhang Dongqiang smiled bitterly: "In the face of disaster, everyone wants to live, these people are already in the limit state of blowing up at the first touch, and the reason why they can remain relatively calm now is because everyone is trapped here, no one can escape, and the mentality is quite balanced." If you tell them that they can take some people away, but they have to be young adults, they will definitely feel unfair, and they will be out of balance and will do everything!"

"Really!?" Zuo Yang couldn't believe it, turned his head to look at those people, "Are you thinking too much about human nature?"

"Trust me. Zhang Dongqiang's tone was serious, "Maybe I'm too worried, but as long as there is a slight possibility, this kind of thing can't happen." ”

Zuo Yang frowned: "If you want to do this, let them know, won't you scold you for cutting off their lives?"

Zhang Dongqiang still smiled bitterly: "I just want to stabilize the order first, besides, the fire has not spread here." ”

Zuo Yang felt the heat that was getting closer and closer, and said solemnly: "It's too late when it spreads here!"

In this regard, Zhang Dongqiang just said: "Then I can only pray that my colleagues will deal with the stampede on the seventeenth floor as soon as possible." ”

Regarding Zhang Dongqiang's approach, Zuo Yang instinctively felt a little biased.

It is because of the fear that some people may have emotional disturbances, and the escape time of others is delayed.

Isn't that unfair to those who might have survived earlier?

Moreover, in disasters, not everyone only thinks about their own safety, the reality is not so extreme, and in the face of disasters, there is not only the evil in human nature, but also the good in human nature. Now Zhang Dongqiang's approach is to take into account the evil in human nature, and ignore the good in human nature that may exist. That's too subjective, isn't it?

Zuo Yang looked at the silent crowd in front of the emergency passage, hesitated for a moment, and made a decision.

I saw him approaching, and then said loudly: "All those who are easy to move come with me!"

Seeing that everyone raised their heads after hearing his words, but did not move, he added: "Hurry up!

At this time, Zhang Dongqiang ran over angrily and asked Zuo Yang, "Captain Zuo, what do you mean by this!?"

Zuo Yang looked at him and said seriously: "You believe that human nature is inherently evil, and I believe in human nature inherently good." ”

In the crowd, an old man in a wheelchair gently pushed the young man next to him: "Go, don't bury your young life here for my old bones." ”

"yes. Another old man smiled and said, "We've lived long enough anyway." ”

In fact, Zhang Dongqiang's worries are not groundless, in the face of disasters, there will indeed be two extremes in human nature, and there will be unimaginable filth and ugliness.

However, he overlooked one thing, that is, this floor is all special care wards, and the people who can be admitted to the special care wards are often seriously ill, the kind of serious illnesses that need to be taken care of anytime and anywhere, generally speaking, the elderly are the majority, and the elderly usually have this mentality, feeling that they have lived long enough, and they have already looked down on life and death, so the desire to survive in the face of disasters has become extremely low.

In addition to these old people who laughed at life and death, there were also some middle-aged people in the crowd who had inconvenient legs and feet.

In fact, they are not seriously ill, but the hospital has arranged a special care unit for them based on their power and money background, similar to the situation in Miaoli.

At this time, a man with a Chinese character face laughed heartily: "Don't hesitate, you are all the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, don't waste our good youth on us old guys who have half a foot in the coffin." ”

"You're the old guy!"

Another half-bald man scolded, "Lao Tzu is just the right year!"

Looking at the hesitant young people, he scolded: "If you want to go, let Lao Tzu go quickly, don't come with me in this little child posture, making Lao Tzu feel like he can't live without you!

"That's it!"

Another dignified woman with a noble woman's high bun echoed, "The old lady has been working hard in Pingjiang since she was fourteen years old, she has licked blood on the tip of the knife, and the monster has pulled teeth out of her mouth, so she just lit a small flame and wanted to burn the old lady to death?"

"Hahaha!" The half-bald man patted his thigh and laughed wildly, "It's worthy of Sister Zhou, I like this spirit, if I have the opportunity in my next life, I must marry you as a wife!"

"Get out!" the dignified woman chirped, "The old lady is not uncommon with your hairs!"

"Look!" The half-bald man stretched out his radish thick index finger and nodded at the dignified woman, and said to his son: "If I had given birth to you with your Aunt Zhou, you would have run to the other side of the road to drink coffee by now, and what filial piety would you be doing here with me!?"

The boy's face turned red, but he still didn't want to leave half a step.

Zhang Dongqiang was stunned, he found that he had missed one thing, that is, except for those old people, all those who could be admitted to the special care ward were either rich or expensive. And whether it is the former or the latter, to be able to come to this point in such a dangerous world, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, and they all have the courage to not be afraid of life and death.

Zuo Yang glanced at the red-hot sensor door, the fire was afraid that it would not be long before it spread here, so he hurriedly said: "Hurry up! Who is leaving! Follow me!" As he spoke, he turned around and ran towards the sensor door, but did not approach, but planned to wait for everyone first.

The half-bald man almost kicked his son away, and scolded in his mouth: "Gua Wazi, not even a first-level psychic, what kind of hero is he doing here with Lao Tzu!"

Not only did he do this, but other middle-aged people, both men and women, all scolded or beat them, driving away their children.

For a while, only those old people and these middle-aged people were left in front of the emergency passage.

Seeing that the young people had safely entered the corridor of the ward under the leadership of Zuo Yang, the old man in the chair trembled and took out something from the front pocket of the hospital gown, and he said to Zhang Dongqiang: "Young man, come here." ”

Zhang Dongqiang ran over quickly.

I only heard the old man say: "This is my will, my name is Yan Ziqiang, please give it to my eldest son Yan Yingwei." "He had seen Zhang Dongqiang escape into the shadows before, and knew that Zhang Dongqiang had the ability to leave here.

"Old Yan ......," an old man next to him interjected, "Isn't your second son from the family?"

"That's why I want to give it to my eldest son. The old man in the wheelchair sighed.

Zhang Dongqiang's expression was solemn, he took the will, and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely help you transfer it." ”

Seeing this scene, the half-bald man squinted at the few middle-aged people around him, and said: "Lao Tzu's will has been written a long time ago, I guess you didn't expect that you would die so early, Sure enough, I was prescient, hahahahaha......"

The dignified woman said with a cold face: "I'm sorry, I have already written it, and one of them is to wait until you die to quickly swallow your Longxiang Group." ”

The half-bald man's laughter stopped abruptly: "Sister Zhou, are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"Then I can't just die like this!" the half-bald man suddenly turned upright, "I originally thought that that kid in my family could inherit the family business I had built, but looking at his hesitant appearance just now, I was a little uneasy." ”

After thinking for a moment, the half-bald man suddenly laughed lewdly again.

"What are you laughing at?" the dignified woman squinted at him.

The half-bald man smiled and said, "Thanks to your daughter who came to see you a few days ago, tsk, it happens to be the appearance that the kid in my family likes, so I quickly added a clause to the will, so that the kid in my family will take down your daughter no matter what." Tsk, even if you swallow my Longxiang Group, won't you still have the surname of Lao Tzu when the time comes!"

"My daughter won't take a fancy to your son!" the dignified woman pouted.

"Then who knows!" grinned the half-bald man, "and the toad can still eat swan meat, maybe the two of them will be right?"

"Speaking of which—" he smacked his lips, "The new little girl who came in last night is really beautiful, that figure, that posture, a bit of the charm of your youth, Sister Zhou, I don't know whose family it is." ”

"That's the daughter of the Kuang family. The dignified woman sneered, "Even if you are a toad, you can't climb high in a rocket." ”

"No wonder......," the half-bald man raised his eyebrows, "it shouldn't be the daughter of Ku Longjin, right? Suddenly, he frowned and sighed: "It's really jealous, such a beautiful little girl, she was killed like this." When he escaped before, he was still worried about Miaoli, so he took the time to take a look at Miaoli's ward, only to see that it had been blown into ruins, and knew that Miaoli must be dead.

At this time, the man with the Chinese character face, who had not spoken, said: "Who do you think this explosion is aimed at?"

"It must be for that little girl of the Kuang family!" said the half-bald man undeniably. The demure woman nodded as well.

Although they have offended many people in the past and want them to die, they have been in the hospital for so many days and have never had an accident. As soon as the little girl moved in, there was an explosion the next day, and if it had nothing to do with her, who would believe it?

The man with the face of the national character bowed his head: "I think so too." ”

At this time, he glanced at Zhang Dongqiang, who was anxious, and suddenly said loudly: "Young man, come here!"

Zhang Dongqiang was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself.

"Yes, that's you!"

So, Zhang Dongqiang walked over.

The man with the face of the Chinese character asked, "Does your police department know who caused this explosion?"

"I'm sorry—"

Zhang Dongqiang just wanted to say that this was a secret, but was interrupted by a man with a Chinese face: "Don't talk to me about any secrets, do you think we can still get out alive, tell us that it will be fine." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Dongqiang hesitated, and after a while, he relieved his teeth and said, "It's a Persian!"

"Persians!?"

The man with the national character face raised his eyebrows, not only him, but everyone else also expressed surprise.

Persia, what a familiar and unfamiliar word, how far and so close to a country.

They never imagined that this bombing attack would be the work of the Persians.

Just like Zuo Yang was puzzled before, they were also puzzled by this, the Persian Empire was already in such chaos, did the Persians lose their minds and go crazy? Why did they dare to come to the Huangming Empire to do things?

"Zilala-"

Zhang Dongqiang's walkie-talkie, which had not responded to it in his hand, suddenly sounded a burst of electric sound.

His face changed, and then he heard a voice coming from the intercom: "Hey, Team Zhang, we have solved the stampede on the seventeenth floor, where are you?"

Zhang Dongqiang raised his head in a daze.

Seeing the man with the national character face, he smiled awkwardly at him: "Oops, it seems that he can't die." ”

As soon as the words fell, the induction door did not break, and the fire was because Zuo Yang brought a little sporadic flames when he left just now, and it did not spread completely, but a loud bang suddenly sounded at the top of the elevator hall.

Zhang Dongqiang took a quick look, and saw that the charred black zenith crack was extending in all directions like a living thing, and it was about to collapse.

At this time, the half-bald man muttered: "It seems that the blood of my Zhuang family really flows the blood of loving heroes." ”

As the words fell, a condensed momentum suddenly swayed around him.

The cracks in the zenith stopped extending in an instant.

The half-bald man spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Spiritual Text [City Wall]: When activated, the wielder can inject his own life force into an object to increase its sturdiness.

At this moment, the half-bald man is injecting all his life force into the zenith.

The dignified woman's face changed suddenly, and she lost her voice: "Are you crazy!?"

She never thought that Zhuang Bi, who had always been known for harming others and benefiting herself, would jump out as a hero at this time.

Zhuang Bi, a half-bald man, was already short in stature, and at this time, he was carrying the huge impact of the collapse of an entire floor, and he was almost as low as the dust.

But Rao is like this, he is still laughing.

"Sister Zhou, my son is good, and you don't have to be wronged by your Yanni-"

As he spoke, his head fell an inch downward, only to hear him hiss and shout: "let Lao Tzu go!"

His head fell inch by inch.

Everyone, both elderly and middle-aged, helped each other to run into the emergency passage.

The dignified woman was the last to enter, and when she ran to the twenty-third floor, a loud bang rang through the passage.

Her eyes were red, and she knew that Zhuang Bi was dead.

The boss of Longxiang Group, an obscene man who has been against her since she was twenty-four years old, died so heroically in the end.

Inexplicably, she remembered a sentence that the teacher said in the Lingwen teaching class when she was studying: "Most of the people who hold the Lingwen [city wall] are generous and sad people." ”

She didn't believe it.

But now, she believed, too late.
