Chapter 176: The Great Fire in the Civilian Area
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, fires have already broken out in many places, especially the slums in civilian areas, which are the hardest hit areas.
Many people live in simple wooden huts, and if a fire breaks out, there is no chance of rescue.
The fire broke out, and the panicked crowd rushed towards the city center.
The garrison commander in the south of the city immediately wanted to pay the money, and they reported the situation.
At this time, the battle in the east of the city was also fierce.
There was no way to quell the unrest with manpower, so the only way to order the guards in the center of the city and the other two directions that were not under attack was to send men to take part in the counterinsurgency.
However, the people from the other two directions did not dare to send more people, and only 200 people were sent in each direction, and the 100 policemen here in the city center were met, and 500 people went to the south of the city to quell the chaos.
The 500 people met the people in turmoil, but the payment of remittance did not specify how to quell the turmoil, so they could only build a human wall and strictly prohibit the people from continuing to approach the center of the city.
The people also sobered up when they saw the police coming, and after killing a few of the instigators, they did not dare to move forward.
But the fire in the south of the city was getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing that it was about to burn down to the residential buildings in the civilian area, the people who lived there were also anxious.
Seeing that the people who had calmed down were about to riot again, one of the officers in the police at that time immediately made the right decision.
Let all the old and weak rest in place, and all the men in the crowd go back to participate in the firefighting.
It's a pity that people are desperate for their lives, and less than 1,000 people have come out of the nearly 100,000 miles who are willing to participate in the firefighting.
The police officer immediately decided to leave 400 men to guard the place, and he went back with 100 policemen and the 1,000 who had volunteered to put out the fire.
At this time, the south of the city was already covered by thick smoke, and although some people came back to put out the fire, they could only demolish the wooden buildings that had not yet burned and separated a firebreak.
And rescued the people inside, but it was too late, and many people had already fallen into a coma due to smoke until they suffocated to death.
In the hard-hit area of the fire, Qi Dali and Zhou Shen, brother and sister, were trapped in the fire.
When there was turmoil in the morning, they also heard the sound of artillery and gunfire, but neither of them thought in any other direction, they just thought that Jucheng was conducting a military exercise, so they waited at home for Lin Fan to come to their house as a guest.
And after the riots, they did not participate but honestly stayed at home.
The reason is very simple, one is that Lin Fan has promised to help them find a job, and with a job, they will have a stable life.
At such a time, how can they do stupid things.
The second is that there are two children at home, and they are afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to come to their house to grab things, after all, they bought back 50 catties of grain yesterday.
That's more than a month's worth of food for their family.
They made the right decision, and it didn't take long for someone to try to break into their house and steal something.
But they were all driven away by Zhou Shen and Qi Dali, and they stayed at home, waiting for the police to come and quell the turmoil.
But what the two didn't expect was that the turmoil was getting worse and worse, there were people robbing things everywhere, old people crying and children screaming, and thick smoke rising.
The police never showed up.
This made the two realize that the situation might not be good, but it was a little late to try to run at this time.
The fire had already burned, blocking their way out.
Seeing that they could not get out of the slum, the two men hid their food in a hole in the ground under the bed and ran with the two children towards the residential building behind their house.
However, it is blocked by a fence that is more than four meters high, and it is also the dividing line between slums and civilian areas.
The two took a ladder to send the two children to the opposite side of the wall, and the two were turning over, but before they came down, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Although they are all ordinary people, there are also those who have jobs and those who do not.
The people who live here are people who have jobs and a stable income.
They are separated from the slum by a wall, and there are usually people who climb over the wall and come here to steal, so the people here are very attentive here, and a patrol has been specially formed to guard this place.
Moreover, there were fires and unrest in the slums, and the people here were more attentive.
Qi Dali and Zhou Shen were surrounded by these people as soon as they came down.
If it weren't for the two of them with two children, maybe they would have been beaten violently.
Zhou Shen saw that there were not only four of them who had climbed over the wall to come here, but on the other side, there were dozens of people squatting or sitting.
Guarded by a group of men with wooden or steel sticks in their hands.
There were also a few people lying there with broken heads and bleeding, and it seemed that they had been taught a lesson in dishonesty.
Because Qi Dali and Zhou Shen were carrying two children, they could see that they were just fleeing, so those people didn't embarrass them, but just let them sit together with the group of people.
On the other side, the residence of government officials, the home of foreign exchange.
At this time, Fu Aotian had already gotten up, could he not afford it.
It's a gun and a cannon, it's strange to be able to sleep.
After getting up, Fu Aotian, who was bored, found his younger brother and wanted to ask him if there was anything interesting about him.
Regarding the sound of gunfire outside, Fu Aotian was not worried at all.
Not to mention that Jucheng has thousands of armed forces, let's just say that the tall city wall is not something that a small demon beast can attack.
So his life is to eat, drink and be merry.
When his little attendant arrived, Fu Aotian had already drunk a little wine, a little drunk, and casually pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down." ”
That little follower was also the son of a director-level official in the government, and after hearing Fu Aotian's words, he sat down carefully.
"Zhao Yingjun, is there anything fun, my dad doesn't allow me to go out of the city, and it's too boring to stay in Jucheng all day."
Zhao Yingjun was stunned when he heard Fu Aotian's words.
On the way here, he saw a fire in the south of the city, and gunfire in the east of the city, so something must have happened.
And Fu Aotian is at this time, and he still wants to go out to play.
But who made him the son of his own boss.
Zhao Yingjun quietly raised his head, glanced at Fu Aotian, and saw that he was still sitting there humming a little song boringly, drinking a glass of wine in his hand.
Zhao Yingjun gritted his teeth and struggled with his face for a while, as if he had finally made a decision.
"Brother Tian, I heard a message, do you want to hear it?"
"Message? What news, I'll hear it. ”
Fu Aotian became interested, put down the wine glass in his hand and asked.
Zhao Yingjun pondered for a while and said, "Didn't you think about that girl named Qin Ya before, I have a piece of news, I don't know if you are interested in hearing it." ”
Hearing Qin Ya's news, Fu Aotian lost interest. sat up straight, waved his hand and said, "No need, my father said that the relationship between Qin Ya's brother and Han Xu is not ordinary, and he wants me not to provoke him." ”
Seeing that Fu Aotian was not interested, Zhao Yingjun thought about his own affairs for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Tian, I heard that Lin Fan is not in Jucheng, and that Qin Ya will go to school every day."
