Chapter 342: Race against the God of Fire

If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it mad!

After determining the identity of the arrested man, Ding Haoqiong and Tian Yongchun briefly interrogated him, however, Chen Bo only said that the highway was indeed blown up by him and was also instructed by Chen Guodong, but when Ding Haoqiong asked them about the matter of Chenjiahe Village, he was silent and silent.

Tian Yongchun and the others didn't have time to waste time on Chen Bo, and after handing him over to the people of the criminal police detachment, Tian Yongchun and Ding Haoqiong were paying attention to the road clearance.

After the road was cleared, Tian Yongchun did not have the slightest delay, got into the car directly, and led people to continue to rush in the direction of Chenjiahe Village, and the scene also left a part of the police force to continue the clean-up work.

On the way to Chenjiahe Village, Tian Yongchun and Ding Haoqiong's hearts were heavy, as if they had pressed a thousand catties of boulder.

Although Chen Bo didn't say what happened to Chen Jiahe, his words that he was late and had no time made everyone's hearts sink and they didn't know what he meant.

On the next road, Tian Yongchun asked everyone to move forward at full speed, they were racing against time, and they had to rush to Chenjiahe Village as soon as possible.

An hour later, they finally approached Chenjiahe Village, however, when they saw Chenjiahe Village, they found that the village that was surrounded by mountains and was extremely quiet was in the midst of fire at this time, and the whole village was burning in the raging fire, which made Tian Yongchun's hanging heart rise to his throat again.

Many police cars came to the place where Xu Lang parked, the car stopped, everyone got out of the car, Ding Haoqiong came directly to the car, and found that the tires of Xu Lang's car they drove were all punctured and could not be driven, and the glass of the driver's seat of one of the cars was also broken, I don't know if the people here did it, or Xu Lang did it, the car was in a mess, the walkie-talkie that was originally responsible for contacting them had long been gone, Ding Haoqiong found the fragments of the walkie-talkie nearby, and on the road outside the car, Ding Haoqiong also found bloodstains, the bloodstains had dried up, it seemed that someone was injured, and this injured person was likely Xu Lang.

After Tian Yongchun and the others came to the scene, they searched everywhere, but they did not find Xu Lang and them, nor did they see any suspicious people, so a group of people walked towards the burning village.

When they arrived, they found that in addition to the village being burning, the mountain behind the village was also on fire and was now burning, and if they did not hurry up to extinguish the fire, it was likely to cause unimaginable consequences.

When a fire breaks out in a village, is it a fire or arson?

Compared with the former, the latter is more likely, Tian Yongchun and they are now worried that the village has been burned like this, whether there are still people in it, and even if there are people, it is estimated that they have been buried in the fire, and what makes Ding Haoqiong worry is whether Xu Lang and them are in the village.

"Click......"

"Boom ......"

Lightning accompanied by muffled thunder shattered the tranquility of the village, and the burning fire crackled the village's buildings, and the fire grew larger and larger under the strong wind.

The fire in the village will definitely not be extinguished for the time being, Tian Yongchun and what they have to do now is to go to the back mountain, before the fire burns to the forest in the back mountain, cut a firebreak, otherwise, after the fire spreads to the forest, the fire will be even more difficult to extinguish, and the consequences and losses caused are unimaginable.

When they arrived at the scene, without Tian Yongchun's order, everyone began to bypass the village, enter the back mountain, and use the tools in their hands to start building a firebreak.

And Ding Haoqiong directly took the members of CSY, as well as some special police, and decided to enter the back mountain and go to the place where the fire broke out in the back mountain to check, in addition to checking the fire in the back mountain, their biggest task was to find Xu Lang and them.

————

"Don't move, I'll shoot you if I do."

As the voice sounded, Xu Lang stopped continuing to pull the trigger, and he slowly turned his head to look at the man standing beside him, holding a gun to his temple.

By the light of the fire not far away, Xu Lang could see his face clearly.

It was a plain face, very ordinary-looking, the kind of ordinary that would not attract people's attention when thrown into the pile, and there was no expression on the man's face, the only thing he had was cold.

Xu Lang didn't know each other, he frowned, and asked, "Who are you?" What is the relationship with Uncle Li? ”

While Xu Lang was talking, the pistol in his hand was taken away by another person, and the other party looked at the pistol, then at Xu Lang, and asked sharply: "This is the policeman's pistol, where did you get it from?" ”

Xu Lang was stunned, the other party had a gun in his hand, and he knew that he was using a police gun, it seemed that it should not be from Chenjiahe Village, since it was not from Chenjiahe Village, it was likely to be someone else, maybe it was the police of Hengtong County, which made Xu Lang feel very uneasy, if the police of Hengtong County appeared here, it means that the people of the Commission for Discipline Inspection may have had an accident and are likely to have been killed, which made Xu Lang see Uncle Li and their madness again.

"You're the police?" Xu Lang asked tentatively.

"Let me ask you, where did you get this pistol?"

"My own gun." Xu Lang said.

"You're a cop?" The man with the gun said in surprise.

"Yes, I am the leader of the CSY criminal investigation team in S City, and my name is Xu Lang."

"Xu Lang?"

The two men looked at each other, and both were a little suspicious.

"Pedal ......"

Just when Xu Lang said that he was Xu Lang, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

"Let him go."

A trembling woman's voice rang out.

The two people present, including Xu Lang, were taken aback by this sound, and quickly turned their heads, and then saw that Chen Lingxuan was holding a wooden stick in his hand, facing two strange men.

The two men were stunned, looked at Chen Lingxuan, then at Xu Lang, frowned, and one of them asked, "Who is she?" ”

"She is a villager from Chenjiahe Village, her name is Chen Lingxuan."

"You say, you are Xu Lang, why are you with them? Those police officers were subdued, did you do it? ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then realized something, he turned his head, looked at the man and said, "Lai Pi, they were rescued by you?" ”

The man looked at Xu Lang and was noncommittal.

"Lai Pi, where are they now?" Xu Lang hurriedly asked.

"You know them?"

Xu Lang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Lai Pi is a member of CSY, how can I not know it, the rest of the people are all members of the criminal investigation team, what about them?" ”

"Brother Lang, is that you?"

At this moment, a few people ran over from the side of the fire, led by Lai Pi, after he came to Xu Lang, he looked at Xu Lang with a dusty face, a look of embarrassment, and said in surprise: "Are you okay?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

After the two men saw Lai Pi coming, they made sure that they did know each other, so they put away their guns, looked at Lai Pi, and asked, "How is the situation over there?" ”

"Captain Fang, they are cutting down the isolation zone over there, and the fire will not spread to the mountains for the time being, but the isolation zone is still too narrow, and it needs to continue to expand, otherwise it will ......"

The man nodded, frowned, and said, "Since you know each other, there is no need to be verbose, hurry up and cut down the barrier." ”

After speaking, the man walked in the direction that Lai Pi had come from.

"Wait a minute, there are still injured people here, I'm afraid I'm ...... if I don't give first aid"

Hearing Xu Lang say this, the man stopped, turned around and returned to Xu Lang's side, saw the woman lying on the ground behind Xu Lang, who had been completely unconscious, frowned, and said to the other man: "You go and see the situation, you come with us." ”

When the other party said this, he was completely in a commanding tone, which made Xu Lang feel very uncomfortable, but now is not the time to think about this, it is the key to stop the spread of the fire and thus burn the entire forest.

After the man left, Lai Pi walked to Xu Lang's side, looked at Xu Lang, and found that there was a smell of burnt paste and blood on his body, so he asked, "Are you injured?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head and said, "It's okay, a little injury." ”

Lai Pi pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

"Captain Fang, are they all okay?"

"Well, it's all right."

Hearing this, Xu Lang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were fine.

At this time, Lai Pi saw Chen Lingxuan standing next to Xu Lang and holding a wooden stick in his hand and asked, "Who is she?" ”

"Villagers of Chenjiahe Village, okay, now is not the time to talk about this, it's better to hurry up and cut down the isolation zone."

Lai Pi nodded, knowing that what Xu Lang said was right, so Xu Lang and Lai Pi walked towards the place where the fire was burning.

There is gasoline at the scene, plus the animals themselves have fat, although there were some changes here just now, and it was delayed for a long time, but the fire not only did not decrease, but burned bigger and bigger, and the more it burned, Xu Lang frowned and was worried.

Around the fire, Xu Lang saw more than a dozen people busy, some were constantly wielding the machetes used to cut down trees in the countryside, and some people were holding some farm tools, and they were constantly throwing Tibetan maps towards the edge of the fire.

Looking at the scene, Xu Lang frowned, the fire at the scene continued to burn, although there was no sign of burning the surrounding woods for the time being, but, with the current fire, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will burn here, so Xu Lang did not look dry, picked up a machete from the ground, and came to the closest place to the fire, wielding a machete to cut down the tree.

Xu Lang's posture of cutting trees is very professional, a few knives down, he cut down a tree, next to Xu Lang is the man who pointed a gun at himself just now, he saw Xu Lang's movements, stunned for a moment, and asked: "You have done farm work before?" ”

Xu Lang grinned and said, "I did." ”

The man nodded, not saying anything.

Everyone present began to act in full swing, trying to stop all this when the fire was completely spreading.

Although Xu Lang and the others did not stop moving, the speed was also very fast, and it didn't take long for a separation zone to be cleared, but the fire also began to spread around, Xu Lang and they were very close to the fire, and they could clearly feel the scorching sensation of the fire.

"It's not okay to go on like this, there are too few people." Xu Lang shouted loudly.

The man heard Xu Lang's voice and lifted

He glanced at the fire that was spreading around, and shouted, "Move faster." ”

After hearing the man's voice, everyone involuntarily sped up the movements in their hands.

"Who?"

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps not far away, and Xu Lang and the others subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked over there.

Through the light of the fire, Xu Lang saw that the person who came was none other than Ding Haoqiong.

After seeing Ding Haoqiong, Xu Lang knew that it must be a large army coming, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Damn, you are finally here." ”

After saying this, Xu Lang waved his hand over there and shouted loudly: "Ding Haoqiong, I'm here, quickly organize firefighting." ”

Ding Haoqiong followed the light of the fire, rushed all the way here, and saw Xu Lang and them from afar, which made Ding Haoqiong feel very surprised, thinking that it was someone from Chenjiahe Village, and now, hearing Xu Lang's voice, although the voice was very vague, but Ding Haoqiong still heard it, so they accelerated their pace and came to the scene, just one glance, Ding Haoqiong understood what was going on, so he immediately participated in the firefighting work.

Just now, they were worried about the lack of manpower, but now, with Ding Haoqiong and their joining, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the growing fire, their hearts that had just relaxed were lifted again.

The scene was quiet and noisy, quiet because no one was talking, and noisy because there was nothing but the crackling sound of the fire burning, the sound of Xu Lang cutting down trees, and the sound of farm tools crashing against stones.

The sky was full of dark clouds, and it looked like there was going to be a heavy rain soon, but except for the constantly shining lightning and dull thunder, not a single drop of rain fell in the sky, and the fire burned, causing the surrounding temperature to be very high, and with the consumption of oxygen, it became more and more difficult for Xu Lang to breathe, and the scorching burning sensation stabbed everyone at the scene.

Everyone was working with their heads down, occasionally looking up at the sky where there was already a glimmer of light, hoping that God would rain sooner so that the fire could be extinguished.

————

I don't know how long it has been, maybe half an hour, maybe a few hours, maybe a century, in short, Xu Lang felt that his arm had been completely numb, he didn't feel anything, just mechanically waved the machete in his hand, and the only thought in his heart was, hurry, hurry, let the fire burn a little slower, a little slower.

The strenuous physical labor, coupled with the scorching heat of the fire, made everyone at the scene sweat like rain, how they wished it was not sweat, but rain.

At this moment, everyone was extremely looking forward to the arrival of a heavy rain, and it was pouring rain.

"Tick Tick ......"

Just when Xu Langqiang took a breath and kept wielding the machete, there was a rustling sound in his ears, the sound was small at first, and slowly, it became louder, and at the same time, there was a cold liquid dripping on Xu Lang's body, he thought it was sweat at first, but soon, Xu Lang realized that it was not sweat, he subconsciously stopped the movement in his hand, raised his head, looked at the sky, and then, he smiled.

It's raining.

"It's raining, damn it, it's finally raining."

Xu Lang noticed that it was raining, and others also noticed this, and some people couldn't help but let out an exclamation and showed a bright smile.

At this time, the surrounding scenery gradually became brighter, the darkness gradually faded away, and the light once again enveloped the earth, although the light on the scene was still very dim, but at least it came.

Tick-tock, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the raindrops fall on the trees, making a crisp sound, the raindrops fall on the land, making a crisp sound, in Xu Lang's ears, at this moment, there is no sound more pleasant than the sound of these raindrops, this rain came too timely.

Timely rain, timely rain, this is the current rain.

However, although it was raining, Xu Lang and the others did not stop their movements, because with the fall of the heavy rain, the already raging wind became more and more intense, and the fire of the fire also became crazy, as if they were in the last struggle before dying.

The more this time comes, the more they must not give up their vigilance, and they must continue to expand the fire barrier, in case these fires ignite somewhere, then all their previous efforts will be in vain.

Although everyone present was very tired, even exhausted, after the heavy rain fell, they were all full of enthusiasm and involuntarily accelerated the work at hand.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that God wants to use this heavy rain to wash away the sins of this village and the mountains, the heavy rain washes the trees of the forest, makes them new, and the heavy rain is also washing away the hearts of those who once lived here, and at the same time washing the hearts of everyone.

The fire of the fire finally slowly became smaller, and the fire in many places was extinguished by the heavy rain, and puffs of white smoke came out, accompanied by the sweep of the strong wind, and a strong smell of burning, which spread here, in addition to the burnt smell of burning trees, there was also a strong smell of meat and blood.

Seeing that the fire was getting smaller, Xu Lang and the others were tired enough, and after making sure that the fire would not burn the surrounding woods, Xu Lang and the others finally stopped the cutting work.

Xu Lang sat on the cold and damp ground, looking at the gradually smaller fire, and suddenly felt that his whole body was about to collapse.
