It's quiet, and there should be birds chirping, but there is no bird chirping at this time. The two men who had just woken up had not yet adjusted to the air outside the tent and did not smell any unusual odors in the air. The two looked at each other and smiled, held their breath, breathed into the dantian, exhaled, and inhaled deeply.

"Suck ~~~, cough cough cough"

The two of them wanted to take a deep breath of fresh air in the mountains, but they choked on a breath of smoke and couldn't straighten their waists.

"Ahem, Brother Qiang, this is not right, there is a smell of smoke in the air, is there a fire somewhere?"

"Well, it's the smell of smoke, it should be on fire around, but it's not a trivial matter to catch fire in the mountains, look at this dense forest, if there is a fire, it will be catastrophic."

"Ahh

Luo Fatzi, who is rich in imagination, thought about this matter deeply, thinking that it was a survival environment created by thin people.

"Don't play the fat man, the thin man won't play this kind of unobtrusive game, it may be that there is really a forest fire above, the range should not be small, the morning glow in the direction of Lingguan is not the morning glow at all, it should be the firelight." Look at the valley, there are a lot of small animals running downstream! ”

Xu Qiang, who has always been a careful observer, first noticed that something was wrong, especially when he saw small animals fleeing in groups. And Luo Fatzi followed the direction of Xu Qiang's finger to see the valley, a rabbit suddenly rushed over, followed by another rabbit, and it didn't take long for five or six rats to run out of the grass, jump on the stones by the river and run downstream. There will be no birds to appear, it should be that Xu Qiang and the two fled when they were sleeping, because there was no bird call in the morning.

Seeing this scene, the two turned around at the same time to pack up their 3D backpacks, including sleeping bags, individual lunch boxes, etc., and carried them to their backs in less than 30 seconds, then pulled up the tent and rushed to the direction of Laojun Cave downstream. Less than 20 meters after rushing out, the tent was already tied to the outside of the backpack, and at this time Xu Qiang's mobile phone also rang, Xu Qiang connected, and the thin man's anxious voice reached Xu Qiang's ears:

"Brother Qiang, hurry down the mountain, there is a forest fire, the Forestry Bureau issued a notice, it is from the direction of Lingguan, they are organizing personnel to evacuate and fight the fire, I just got the news and quickly informed you, I will wait for you to meet at the bottom of the mountain." Good luck! ”

"Well, we're on our way back, you hurry up and inform the others, I remember I had a few groups of people behind us, and I don't know where they went. See you at Yamashita and good luck! ”

Xu Qiang, who got the truth of the matter, greeted the fat man and took the lead to run down the mountain along the river valley, the two of them walked in unison, and the iron chain tied to the waist of the two could not become a fetter on their way. From time to time, rabbits, rats, squirrels, and the like rushed out of the grass or bushes next to them, and ran over in a hurry, but fortunately they didn't encounter wild boars or the like, and when the wildfires were raging, they didn't care if you were human or not, and everything that stood in their way would be torn apart by them.

In the face of sudden natural disasters, everyone's performance is different, and the essence of human nature is also vividly exposed.

Among the five groups of people who set off together from Ling Guanqi and Xu Qiang, three groups of people did not know each other, and the two people in the fourth group were Xu Qiang and they all knew each other. The first group is composed of two people, one tall and one short, one of whom is a local business owner, who has been leading the whole survival activity since they joined forces yesterday, directing the other person to do this and that, thinking that he can do everything, but it is full of mistakes. The tall man didn't care much, but when he caught the fish together, the short man didn't exert force at the same time, causing him to fall into the river and accidentally break his foot. The fish didn't catch it, it was soaking wet, and it was still a foot, and the short man was still there complaining, and the tall man exploded instantly, and directly put the opponent to the ground with a right hook.

The business owner who fell to the ground did not call back, he sincerely apologized, and took the initiative to do what he could in the following time, and the night passed without incident. The next morning they were woken up by thick smoke, and when they saw the wildfire raging not far away, the two of them didn't have time to get dressed, so they turned around and took out a pair of pliers from their backpacks, cut the steel wire around their waists, picked up their backpacks and ran down the mountain.

Because the tall man has broken his foot, he can't run at speed, while the entrepreneur is fast, and in the blink of an eye, he leaves the tall man behind. When danger comes, he only cares about his personal safety, gives up his former partner, and his human nature is inferior to the extreme.

The other group is composed of a pair of fat people, both of whom can't run fast, but the two help each other to solve the problems that arise, and the goal is the same, and they eventually escape.

There is also a group that also has problems in communication and collaboration, complaining to each other, disagreeing with each other when camping, direct emotional outbursts, the thin man in front of them applies to terminate the activity, and finally the working group sends a car to pick people back, which is the first group to be eliminated.

The last group, Xu Qiang and they knew, were Zhao Bing and Cui Kai, and they were also old people who had organized and participated in several activities together. They had no problems cooperating, especially when they found out about the fire, they reported it to the thin man as soon as possible, and decisively cut off the steel wire and quickly moved to the Laojundong parking lot, which was far away from the fire.

Xu Qiang, who was thinking about running forward, forgot about cutting the tightrope and running again, plus the two ran tacitly, and there was no stumbling incident, and both of them forgot about it. By the time the two of them arrived at the parking lot, many people had already been evacuated from the mountain, and even the villagers had already been evacuated.

met with the thin man Da Liu and communicated the information of mutual understanding, and found that there were still a few groups of people who had not returned, so Xu Qiang volunteered to drive to pick up people, and Luo Fatzi also wanted to go with him. When they got into the car, they found that the chain had not been untied, and they couldn't find the key in a hurry, so they had to go in from the passenger cab, and the fat man also followed.

Before the door could be closed, the car had already rushed out in the direction of Chongpiling. On the way, the fat man sat down on the seat after confirming the location of several people by phone, so tired that he was exhausted, but he still didn't forget to tease Brother Qiang.

"I said, Brother Qiang, we have really been in touch with fire recently, a few days ago it was a city fire, and today we encountered a natural wildfire, our luck is really inferior!"

Xu Qiang smiled self-deprecatingly and didn't say much, just praised the fat man's behavior and courage in being able to enter the fire with him to save people.

"That's good, Luo Sheng, it's enough for buddy to be angry, let's go back and get drunk. Don't say much else, go and save people first. ”

The fat man was embarrassed by Brother Qiang's praise, but his nature still did not change, and he opened his mouth and said:

"Look at what you said, what we recognize is your brother Qiang, you are a righteous person, I can't be ambiguous, right? Even if it's a sea of fire, we'll follow you to break through. ”

Xu Qiang was so moved that he almost cried, holding the steering wheel with his left hand, and holding the fat man tightly with his right hand, the brotherly feelings were spontaneous, and they all regarded each other as brothers for life.

After receiving the two groups of people at the predetermined location, Xu stressed his head and hurried in the direction of the parking lot. The wildfire advanced very fast, and it was already two kilometers behind their buttocks, and in addition to the scattered black ash in the air, sparks also began to appear, scattered, not big, and extinguished in a while. Although it has been extinguished when it falls to a height of two or three meters, the falling sparks are getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later these sparks will ignite the surrounding mountains and forests, and now the wind speed has increased to 30 kilometers per hour, and the fire will only get bigger and wider by the wind.

After arriving at the parking lot and transferring the person to a special car organized by the Forestry Bureau, Xu Qiang met with the thin man again to understand the situation.

"How's it going, have you withdrawn?" The dripping sweat had soaked Xu Qiang's body, and the black ash on his face turned into ravines under the sweat wash, allowing more sweat to wash down. He didn't care about wiping it, opened his mouth to ask about the latest situation, then took two bottles of water from the thin man's hand, handed one bottle to the fat man, and unscrewed the lid to drink.

"There are still two left, it is you all the way, and the one who withdrew from the direction of Lingguan is a local entrepreneur and a teammate in Nanyang. But now only the entrepreneur has been contacted, and the other person's phone has not been answered, and I don't know if he is out of danger. The entrepreneur is still three kilometers away from us, and he has injured his leg in Yindonggou. ”

Xu Qiang, who had drunk a few sips of water and was even, thought for a while and said to the thin man:

"The two of them are a group, as long as you find this entrepreneur, you can get news of another person, thin man, you call someone to drive, I'll drive another car, let's go together, go."

After speaking, Xu Qiang drove to the direction of Yindonggou first, the roaring engine roared like a lion, all the way to the wind, the thin man followed closely, and finally found the entrepreneur 2.5 kilometers away from Yindonggou, he was limping on the road and moving his footsteps down the mountain.

Behind him, the wildfire was only five hundred meters away.
