Chapter 20: Running away from him

In the face of disasters, all lives are equal, all are the same helpless, and all are the same weak. At this moment, there is no difference in identity, no age and gender division, all people are running in a hurry, crying and crowding, crying helplessly, coughing violently in the smoke, just for one purpose, to live!

The fire started on the fourth and fifth floors, and when the high-rise reacted and ran out, the fire had already sealed the floor and spread upward, and the emergency exit was full of people, men, women and children crowded in the corridor, choking on the smoke and coughing violently, many people retreated in despair, and many people plucked up the courage to get into the smoke-filled emergency exit and ran down. Soon after, the fire spread here, and there was a whistling sound in the smoke and firelight, and I don't know whether it was a wail or a desperate roar.

Jiang Dijia, who was full of despair and fear, followed the crowd downstairs in horror, almost to the end of the line, I don't know how many floors I went down, I don't know how far I walked, the one in front was running, The one behind was also running, Jiang Dijia, who was wearing high heels, was pushed by the people behind him, and fell down unexpectedly, and when he subconsciously fell on the stairs with his head in his arms, he hesitated for a moment, and his body was stepped on by the latecomers with several feet, one foot was stepping on the crook of the calf, Jiang Dijia shouted in pain, and then heard the rough curse of the stamperper, and in despair, crawled a few meters in the direction of the floor and avoided the emergency passage.

Suddenly, Jiang Dijia subconsciously shouted: "Jian Fan......"

The voice was so mournful, helpless, and a cry of despair and hope. This is the only and last call for help, and perhaps this is the only little hope that Jiang Dijia has left.

No one paid attention to him, still desperate.

And the sound was immediately interrupted by the sound of violent coughing, drowned out by the noise of human voices and footsteps, and after another moment of panic, the voices of the people on the floor faded away, and only the sound of purgatory could be heard as if from the ground, the darkness and smoke swallowed everything, and the pungent and choking smell was not only suffocating people's breath, but also burning people's eyes. Little by little, the potential of all life is taken away.

Jiang Dijia was desperate, closed her eyes in despair, sat down with her knees crossed, and shrank weakly in the corner, not far from the emergency exit, but the smoke was the thickest there, and the people below were still shouting, and the fire that had already come faintly, even if it was to go out here, it might not be a way to live, Jiang Dijia gave up, and didn't want to do any more useless struggles. She didn't know how far she could go in the increasingly suffocating air, but she knew that she wouldn't last long. Rather than die in the fire, it is better to die quietly in this corner.

In despair, my mind was ethereal, and I don't know when, two lines of tears had already poured out of my eyes and wet my cheeks......

Practicing yoga for many years can regulate your breathing and minimize the consumption of your body, so that even if you die, there will be no pain. Jiang Dijia curled up as much as she could, pulled her collar to cover her mouth and nose, slowed down her breathing, and her consciousness began to slowly blur, as if she had returned to her warm home and sat in a warm Western restaurant......... No matter who it is, it doesn't matter anymore, Jiang Dijia subconsciously tore off the chain pendant on his chest and held it tightly in the palm of his hand, the only thought left was that even if it was unrecognizable, relatives could recognize themselves by this token......

When a person is desperate, he will produce the most primitive and simple hope, but at this moment, it has become an impossible luxury to realize, and every lost life, without exception, leaves with despair and regret.

His consciousness became more blurred, and he gradually fell into a coma.........

The scene of the fire is still in a panic, the glass wall burned by the flames is like an iceberg collapsing, and after a while, there is a loud "boom", scattered in front of the building, and the luxury cars of all colors in the parking lot are frightened and sound the alarm, and the scattered flames fall to the car, and a new source of fire is generated. Dozens of meters away, the people who escaped, the onlookers, and the people who had just arrived to rescue all looked in horror at the Wuzhou Building, which was spewing flames and smoke like a monster.

"Ah...... Someone jumped off the building......"

The screams of women resounded in the crowd, and many people had already seen it, on the fifth floor, the window was blazing, and a figure hesitated for a moment, and jumped out of the flames, hundreds of pairs of frightened eyes stared directly at the tragic life in a vertical line, slamming to the ground...... After the exclamation, more people closed their eyes and wept for the deceased, for a stranger they had never met...... Behind him was still a raging wall of smoke and fire.........

Rescue, rescue......

The mournful sirens of fire trucks could be heard almost all over the city, as if they were lamenting for the lives that had been lost.

From four directions and five main roads towards the accident site, there were fire trucks galloping. When the first fire truck arrived at the scene of the fire, the fire had spread to the sixth floor, and it was unknown how many people had escaped, how many people were still in the hotel, and how many people were trapped......

The city's 12 fire squadrons received major fire ****** at the same time. The general command of the detachment mobilized almost all the rescue forces of the city from the city and suburbs, and they were rushing here with all their might. The nearest No. 3 Squadron of the Armed Police in the northern suburbs, the 40 remaining members received an emergency rescue order before they had time to equip themselves, and got into the stuffy tanker and sped all the way......

Rescue, rescue......

In the compound of the Public Security Bureau, the leaders who are usually rare to see are roaring into the hospital, followed by the emergency business and the scene, the more at this time, the more you have to stand on the front line, otherwise, the fire will not burn down a building, I am afraid that even the black yarn will be turned into ashes.

Along Wuyi Road and Jiefang Road for more than 10 kilometers, hundreds of urgently dispatched highway patrol officers were hoarsely clearing the obstacle for the fire trucks. Dozens of red and blue police lights flashed, pressing dead at the fork in the road, for fear of traffic jams at critical times, the suppressed traffic queues at each intersection were getting longer and longer, all making way for the rescue team, the car queue was still here, and the people sticking out of the windows were whispering to each other, knowing the reason, no one was honking the horn to urge, no one was shouting and scolding, and no one doubted that the arrogant police and police cars at this time were all straightening their necks and looking at the place where the smoke rose miserably.

No one is going to grab that empty road, that is the passage of life.

Rescue, rescue......

Seventeen ambulances from hospitals and emergency centers were speeding towards the accident site a little later, and the driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the long honking seemed to save the dying life. In the face of disaster, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority in life, and the rolling wheels are racing against the raging fire and time.........

………………………………

………………………………

There was a bustle outside, but there was a terrifying silence inside, and occasionally in the corner of the wall, the short-circuited and burned pipes overhead would burst out with sparks, and the building was shrouded in darkness and smoke, like a Jedi that could not contain life.

Jiang Dijia curled up, I don't know how long it took, when she was about to fall unconscious, as if she heard familiar footsteps, as if she saw the lights of shadows, as if she had seen a strange-looking animal crawling towards her in a dream or somewhere......

Like a strange-looking badger coming out of the dirt.

In a daze, someone took off the cover on his mouth and nose, and then heard the sound of "pounce", his face was cool, and his whole body was agitated all of a sudden, and he opened his eyes, and there was a faint flashlight light in the darkness, and there was a person kneeling beside him, and the person's outfit was not clear, like an Arab terrorist, with something wrapped around his head to cover his mouth and nose.

But at this time, there is no fear in looking at the living. "Pounce" again, but the man poured something and sprayed it on his face, and before he could speak, his mouth was covered with a wet cloth.

Clear water, clear water that saves lives. This simple action made the head sober up instantly, and the other hand dragged the man's arm. Grabbed a life-saving straw. It's Jian Fan...... Jiang Dijia was pleasantly surprised, and Jiang Dijia recognized it. I didn't have time to think, I saw Jian Fan playing a weak flashlight, his head wrapped in a cloth, his fingers pointing upward, and whispering in his ear, don't speak, follow me, keep your body down, don't get close to metal things, don't hold on to the building pole......

So, there was a strange scene...... The two of them were like two huge rats, bent over, almost crawling on the ground and moving slowly, one in front of the other, the faint flashlight in front of them was full of smoke, and it couldn't shine far, and only by climbing the body to the lowest could I feel a little more comfortable breathing. After going up to the two floors, Jian Fan turned around and poured some cold water, soaked the wet cloth on Jiang Dijia's mouth again, and continued to climb up......

Strangely, Jiang Dijia didn't dare to speak, she only felt weird, as if the escape should not be an upward escape, but at this time she had no idea, she just followed Jian Fan to climb up, and occasionally Jian Fan turned around and pulled back. In this place of death, he became the only desire for life.

went up to the fourth floor, Jian Fan dragged Jiang Dijia into the floor from the emergency passage, discerned the direction, kicked open a guest room, and slammed the door shut as soon as he entered the door and dragged Jiang Dijia in.

There was smoke in this room, too, but barely breathing. Jian Fan pushed open the bathroom, followed by the sound of rushing water, turned around and pulled the cloth on his face and shouted: "Come in, ......" Jiang Dijia was finally able to gasp for breath, the smell of smoke in the air was very strong, just took a few breaths, heard that he climbed in with a rolling belt, soaked a few times, "ah", but it was a refreshing feeling after escaping death.

After a loud sound, he sat down on the ground.

I couldn't see Jian Fan clearly in the faint light, I saw that he was dipping in a towel, but he came up with it, the light was shining on her face, and there was no fear in her voice, but she said with a smile: "Hey, I thought you ran away, and you still left it on the road for a long time......... It's amazing, you woke up before you could do artificial respiration!"

"You...... Bastard!" When Jiang Dijia heard this, he was angry in his heart, and waved his hand, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", and Jian Fan got an "ah", but he was slapped firmly.

"Why are you beating me?" Jian Fan shouted while covering his face.

“…… Why did you leave me and run away?...... Woo......" Jiang Dijia came from it with sadness, hiding his face and crying.

"Whoever left you, I went to the kitchen to find water, and when I turned around, you ran away...... Such a big cigarette, cover your nose and run, don't you die? You can really do it, I didn't stop shouting......" Jian Fan said stupidly, fumbling for the knocked out flashlight.

As soon as they got together, they were hugged by Jiang Dijia in the dark, Jian Fan only felt that his wet face rubbed against his neck, followed by Jiang Dijia's "Wow ......", crying louder, hugging so tightly and crying so pitifully, even Jian Fan was embarrassed to care about the slap just now.

"Hey...... Shall we cry again later?...... Don't hug so tightly...... I have to keep going up, and I won't be able to stay here right away...... Smoke has come in. Jian Fan didn't care about nonsense, and tried to separate Jiang Dijia's hands. returned to grab a soaked towel, but unexpectedly Jiang Dijia let go of his hand, hugged him again, and said in a panic: "I'm afraid." ”

Fear is a woman's patent, and the need for protection is also a woman's privilege, Jiang Dijia held on to this life-saving straw for the rest of her life.

"Nonsense, who isn't afraid?" Jian Fan replied angrily, and wrapped a wet towel around Jiang Dijia's face.

Jiang Dijia still didn't wake up, and dragged Jian Fan as if he was afraid that he would run away and said, "Take me out." ”

"Nonsense, who doesn't want to go out?" Jian Fan was even more angry. Dragged Jiang Dijia's hand to cover her mouth and taught: "Let's find a safe place to hide in the upwind direction now, 80% of the fire was choked to death by smoke, and 20% were scared to death by ourselves." If you are afraid, follow me, and if you don't want to die, cover your mouth and nose. ”

Saying that, he covered his head, only showed his eyes, searched the room, touched two large bath towels soaked in water and draped them on his shoulders for later use, pulled Jiang Dijia, and the two of them hunched their waists like thieves, and walked out along the way they came.

Breathe a sigh of relief and walk more easily. One floor, one floor higher, did not speak, just walked gently, not in a hurry, but the smoke in the emergency passage was thicker than in other places, every time he walked on the two floors, Jian Fan twisted the water in the bath towel with his hand, and sprinkled the water on his and Jiang Dijia's faces, keeping him awake...... When walking through one of the floors, Jian Fan groped for the fire axe thrown here, it seemed that he was ready to go to Jiang Dijia, there was a basin of water next to the fire axe, this is the twentieth layer, Jiang Dijia vaguely looked at it and understood, that pot is a taste bucket, used for seasoning in the kitchen, and the water that hits his face has the smell of salad.

After a short stay, I don't know how many floors I went up, Jiang Dijia is both hands and feet, and followed Jian Fan to climb up, without hesitation or doubt, but the more I walked, the more I felt that my breathing was easier, and when I was about to reach the top, I was pulled by Jian Fan to drill into the floor, after the fire axe smashed open the emergency exit door, I felt that my breath was comfortable when I entered the door, and it was almost close to the top floor, the closed door was not opened, and the amount of smoke coming in was not large.

The two of them entered the dark floor passage on this floor, the narrow corridor where the flashlight was shining, Jian Fan seemed to be identifying the direction, and kept pulling Jiang Dijia around the corridor for dozens of meters before standing in front of the door of a room, with an axe in his hand, smashed the door open, and then pulled Jiang Dijia into the house and slammed the door.

Hurriedly opened the window, and the two of them lay on the window, greedily inhaling the fresh air that poured in with a faint smell of smoke. I never felt so blessed to be able to breathe. In the northwest corner, the upwind of the building, the smoke rose obliquely into the air from a short distance, and because of the direction of the wind, it could not be filled into this window at all. At the bottom of the building, fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances were already swarmed around, and more than a dozen white water dragons sprayed at the fire point.........

"Can we escape?" Jiang Dijia asked softly, looking at the bottom layer that was still burning, he couldn't help but recall the horror he had just experienced, and looked sideways at Jian Fan, but he couldn't see his expression clearly at this time in the night.

"Do we still need to escape?"

Jian Fan replied lightly. There was no answer, the words were very calm, Jiang Dijia followed and breathed a long sigh of relief, she knew that the fear had passed.........
