Chapter 2 Fire Rescue
When Lin Chao was eighteen years old, he had grown to 1.83 meters, a little thin, but he looked exceptionally straight. He is wearing a set of dark sweatshirts and pants, with a pair of black sneakers on his feet, Lin Chao likes to wear sweatshirts, and he especially likes the hooded one, he has to put a sweatshirt on his body almost all year round.
Lin Chao found that there were many people gathered not far from the supermarket, and the center of the onlookers was already billowing smoke, like a store was on fire. Lin Chao was not enthusiastic about these onlookers. He also glanced casually when he passed by, there was a mother and baby store here, and it didn't look like it had been open for two or three months for a short time. The fire brigade arrived early and is fighting with all their might. The fire was very large, and thick smoke rose from the fire site and soared into the sky. Two fire trucks were parked on the side of the road, and firefighters were spraying water inside the house with fire hydrants. When Lin Chao arrived, the surrounding area had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and he couldn't see the situation inside. Lin Chao has always disliked being lively, so he didn't bother to run over to watch and joke with these spectators.
Lin Chao walked straight into the supermarket, but there was no one in the supermarket, Lin Chao was wondering, at this time, a middle-aged woman came from outside, this woman was about forty or fifty years old. His hair was curly, he spoke with a northern accent, and he had a half-smile on his face.
Lin Chao glanced at the middle-aged woman, "Aunt Chen, I haven't seen you open a store like this, according to your opening method, you don't even know that the store has been emptied." ”
The middle-aged woman opened the small door next to the counter and walked sideways into the counter, with a smile on her face and said, "It's not to see the excitement and forget it!" Xiaochao, what do you buy? ”
"Aunt Chen, people are on fire, it's good for you to be a stuffy person, make fun of yourself. This fire doesn't have eyes, and it may burn down your house one day. ”
The middle-aged woman was a little unhappy, and the smiling face that was originally hanging gradually became gloomy, "Phew, phew, phew." You kid, you have never had a doorkeeper on your lips, and I usually treat you well, but you are cursing me here. ”
Lin Chao still said unceremoniously, "Aunt Chen, I'm just joking, why should you take it seriously." It's too stingy" This woman's surname is Chen, she is a widow who moved here more than ten years ago to open a small supermarket, Ben and Lin Chao's family are neighbors, and later the street was renovated, and the two moved away, but they are not far apart, so Lin Chao's family still often goes to her supermarket to buy, this person is a little more marketable, but he is not a bad person.
People who do business are generally smiling bodhisattvas, and Aunt Chen soon stopped minding Lin Chao's words, "Xiaochao, what to buy." ”
"Take a bucket of soy sauce and a bucket of aged vinegar."
"Forty in total, still in the old place, take it yourself"
Lin Chao carried two plastic buckets and put them on the counter, and handed over fifty yuan to the proprietress with one hand.
Lin Chao asked one by one, "What is the situation with the house on fire, is anyone injured?" ”
Aunt Chen glanced at Lin Chao, "It was a mother and baby store that was burned, and when it caught fire, there were children taking a bath on the second floor, but fortunately, the firefighters came in time and everyone was rescued." ”
Lin Chao sighed, "It's a blessing that people are fine"
The proprietress turned around and said, "No, no, the son of the owner of the mother and baby store is still trapped on the third floor, and I usually see that child is very well-behaved, and it is a pity to encounter such a thing." ”
"Haven't you been rescued yet?"
"No, the fire is too big, and it's on the third floor, and the firefighters can't rush up at all.
Lin Chao remembered the child, this mother and baby store has not been open for a long time, and it moved here about a year ago. It's only been three or four months now. This little boy is only about eight or nine years old, with long eyebrows, clear eyes, and is also very sensible.
"Aunt Chen, you just said that I didn't have a door, looking at what you said, I can't hope that people will do well."
Aunt Chen laughed with her: "Look at my mouth!" ”
Lin Chao was moved with compassion, with his own speed, he should be able to pass through the fire quickly, and not be injured, it is not difficult to save the child. But Lin Chao was a little relenting, and he was called a "monster" since he was a child. When I was a child, I obviously saved others, but I was slandered and kicked out of the village. Lin Chao hesitated for a moment.
The proprietress took ten yuan and handed it to Lin Chao, "Looking for your money." ”
Lin Chao took the money, turned around and walked out of the supermarket, he looked at the bustling crowd not far away, and he looked carefully to see that the owner and the proprietress of the mother and baby store were hiding in one place crying. The store burned, in fact, it was not a big deal, but the child was gone, and he could never come back. The proprietress kept shouting the child's name.
Lin Chao turned around and turned back to the supermarket and pushed the ten yuan to the proprietress "Aunt Chen, get me a thickened mask, you're giving me... Take a bottle of mineral water. ”
The proprietress held ten yuan in her hand and smiled, "Xiaochao, why are you back again, ten yuan for masks, two pieces of mineral water, this is still two yuan short." ”
Lin Chao's face was a little anxious, "Aunt Chen, you give it to me first, and I'll give you two yuan next time." ”
"Hey, it's just two dollars, what's not next time, forget it, forget it."
Lin Chao took the mask and water and walked out of the door quickly, he opened the lid of the mineral water and poured all the water on the mask, then squeezed out the excess water on the mask and put it on his face.
The proprietress looked at Lin Chao like a second monk and was puzzled, "Xiaochao, are you a tiger, how can you wear a mask like this." ”
Lin Chao didn't care about the proprietress's words, he just walked forward by himself.
The proprietress called out to Lin Chao, "Xiaochao, your vinegar and soy sauce." ”
"I'll pick you up later," Lin Chao dropped this sentence and hurriedly ran towards the fire site.
This row of facades has three floors and is more than ten meters high. There are two fire trucks parked at the door, and some firefighters outside are pulling the cordon, and the outside of the cordon is surrounded by a group of melon-eating people on the inside and outside of the three layers.
Lin Chao was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and a mask on his face, which was not well disguised, but it was difficult to identify his identity. Lin Chao squeezed past the spectators on the inner and outer three floors of the perimeter, he arched under the cordon, and a firefighter soldier noticed something unusual and stopped him.
"What are you doing, you can't see the fire here."
"Uncle Policeman, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
Lin Chao was very knowledgeable and did not communicate too much with the firefighters. In about half a minute, Lin Chao suddenly flashed and rushed into the fire. Although there were many people on site, no one noticed the slightest change. Lin Chao's growth rate has also become faster and faster after more than ten years, and his speed can almost reach the speed of sound without obstacles. Lin Chao is like the sound waves emitted by these masses that move into the fire in an instant, and ordinary people are mortal with the naked eye, so it is naturally difficult to detect.
Lin Chao entered this building, the smoke was billowing out, and then the water from the firefighter's fire hydrant hit Lin Chao's body, and Lin Chao was poured like a chicken in soup. Lin Chao hurriedly avoided the range of the fire hydrant, Lin Chao was anxious to get rid of all this, but this layer of thick smoke was billowing out, and it was almost impossible to discern the direction. Lin Chao had no choice but to stumble to the side of the stairs with experience.
The handrails of the stairs were wooden, and the fire continued to spread, Lin Chao didn't dare to stay too long, and quickly passed through the second floor and went directly to the third floor. The second floor is relatively empty, although the fire is not small, but it can be seen clearly, but the situation on the third floor is much more complicated.
The third floor is probably a two-bedroom room, the fire is fierce, and Lin Chao keeps avoiding the sparks flowing around. Even though he was wearing a wet mask, he could still feel the choking smell in the room.
The doors of the two bedrooms on this floor were closed and the doors were on fire. Lin Chao didn't waste much time, he guessed that the child should be in this small bedroom, so he didn't care about anything else, and kicked the door of the small bedroom open.
Smoke billowed from the room, but Lin Chao could vaguely see a little boy squatting under a wall by the window in the room, this little boy was wearing a primary school uniform, and he was squatting with his hands covering his mouth and nose. The corner under the window was empty, so there was no fire spreading, and the place was close to the window, and the smoke was going up, and the child was squatting and squatting, so he avoided the thick smoke. The boy was young, but he was very smart. It's just that the child is motionless, as if he has fainted, but it is not certain whether the child is alive or dead.
Lin Chao jumped and jumped directly to the child's side, as if he was moving instantly. Lin Chao looked at the child, his whole body was blackened by thick smoke, and the whole person was paralyzed there.
Lin Chao patted him gently, "Little friend, are you okay?"
The child's eyes moved slightly, the smoke was thick, and it was difficult to open his eyes, and he only showed a little slit in his eyes. "Brother, are you here to save my superman?"
Lin Chao smiled, when the child's heart encountered difficulties, it turned out that he would long for Superman to save him. He then took off the mask from his face, put it on the child's face, and said to him.
"Kid, I'm here to save you, but I'm not Superman, if you have to call me Superman or Hero, you can call me SuperSonic"
The kid wanted to say something, but Lin Chao motioned for him not to speak to maintain his strength.
Lin Chao didn't dare to delay time, this child's body was very weak, this child had been in such an environment for I don't know how long, his ears, mouth and nose were already full of smoke and dust, coupled with the high temperature baking, the child had no strength left. If you don't get him out and treat him well, he may die at any time. Lin Chao carefully picked up the child, the fire was increasing unabated, it was dangerous to stay here, Lin Chao had to rush out of the bedroom quickly.
Lin Chao wanted to take the child back from the bottom of the building as before, but when he took the child out, Lin Chao found that his speed with the child was greatly limited. If you force yourself to return the way you came, even if you can be unscathed, it is difficult to guarantee that the child will not be injured by this raging fire. Even if the child was saved by him and barely saved his life, if he was disfigured by burns, it would not be worth the loss.
Lin Chao was also stumped by the current situation for a while. He took a look at the situation downstairs, the fire on the first floor had gradually been controlled, and firefighters had already entered the first floor and began to extinguish the fire on the second floor, originally Lin Chao planned to wait for rescue.
But the child's body was too weak, trembling all over, and he said in a very weak voice: "Supersonic brother, I'm sleepy, can I sleep for a while." ”
Lin Chao knew that if the child fell asleep at this time, it was very likely that he would never wake up again, so he hurriedly said.
"Don't sleep, child, your parents are still waiting for you below."
The child's breath was faint and did not make a sound, and Lin Chao was anxious. Lin Chao looked at a window in the living room, and there was a small balcony outside the window, and suddenly had an idea.
"Children, don't sleep, how about my brother take you to fly around."
"Really?" The child suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a light in his eyes, and he came to his senses.
Lin Chao took the child to the window, this window is a floor-to-ceiling window, there are four in total, the lower two are fixed and cannot be opened, about a meter high, and the window that can be opened at the door is about the same size as the two below. Lin Chao opened the window, climbed over and stood on the balcony by himself, and then hugged the child over. The windows on the third floor are about ten meters above the ground. Lin Chao can easily jump on the roof of the six-story building in the community, and this height is naturally not a problem. Lin Chao held the child horizontally, this position is relatively safe for the child, and it is not very convenient if Lin Chao is holding it vertically when he lands. Lin Chao jumped down from the third floor with the child in his arms, and the place where Lin Chao fell was falling in the encirclement of the masses.
"Sonic Man!"
In fact, this is not the first time Lin Chao has saved people, although Lin Chao often struggles, but he has still saved several lives, there have been news reports that because Lin Chao is extremely fast, they call Lin Chao a sonic man, obviously someone recognizes it. Lin Chao put the child on the ground, because the mask was given to the child just now, he tried his best to lower his head so that others would not see his appearance, at this time, the ambulance that had already stopped on the side of the road pulled a stretcher and pushed it towards the child, Lin Chao did not stay too long, he slowly put the child on the ground, and then quickly disappeared in front of everyone in a flash.
