Chapter 214: Human Nature is Good and Evil
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" One after another, the figures of the wearers in orange firefighting suits jumped up from in front of Zhao Ke.
The sound of messy footsteps, as well as the shrill alarm bells outside, filled the air with a thick and pungent gunsmoke, which made Zhao Ke subconsciously quickly cover his mouth and nose.
"On fire??"
Before Zhao Ke could come back to his senses, a firefighter in front of him suddenly paused and looked at Zhao Ke who was hiding in the corner, rushed up quickly, grabbed Zhao Ke's arm and said, "Why are you still hiding here, go quickly!" ”
Seeing that the other party said this, he took off his oxygen mask, and couldn't help but say that Zhao Ke brought it.
"No need to ......" Zhao Ke wanted to take it off and return it.
In fact, this level of smoke is nothing to Zhao Ke, and even if the flames burn up, it may not be able to hurt him.
But for these ordinary firefighters in front of them, it is fatal.
However, the other party was not divided by Zhao Ke at all, three or four people rushed up, grabbed Zhao Ke and rushed out, as for the firefighter who took off his mask, he picked up a piece of cotton cloth, covered his mouth and nose, and continued to rush deeper.
Outside was already a mess at the moment, patients, nurses, and doctors were all retreating, and only a group of people rushed into the fire against the crowd.
"Quick, go down with the crowd!"
Several firefighters pushed Zhao Ke out of the stairs, asked Zhao Ke to open a safe passage from the other side, and left with the pedestrians, and then turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
At this time, Zhao Ke grabbed a firefighter's arm, took off the mask on his face, and handed it to a firefighter.
The firefighter froze for a moment, but quickly took the mask from Zhao Ke's hand and rushed up the stairs quickly.
"Help!"
The screams and wails turned the building into a living hell.
The safety passage, which was already very narrow, was crowded together by a group of people at this time, and a middle-aged man accidentally slipped his foot and fell to the ground, subconsciously reaching out and grabbing the clothes of the person in front of him.
As a result, two or three people fell in order, and before they could get up, the panicked pedestrians behind them rushed forward.
"Don't squeeze, someone has fallen, don't squeeze ......"
Someone in front was desperately shouting, but the footsteps of the people behind did not stop.
The pedestrians who were still in the middle carried them backwards hard, trying to give the people in front of them a little room for relaxation, but the strong thrust behind them pushed them forward.
"Ahhh
In the passage, the child's cry made the already restless crowd begin to become more agitated.
Zhao Ke didn't move forward, but curled up in the corner, leaning against the wall, staring at the crowd in front of him with cold eyes.
"Let's go! Go, fuck you, go! ”
A middle-aged man, holding a child in his hand, saw the person in front of him who was stagnant, and stomped his feet anxiously and scolded.
He began to push forward hard, but he ignored the screams and shouts in front of him.
"Don't push, someone in front of you is down!"
Someone turned around and looked angrily at the middle-aged man, but saw the middle-aged man smashing his fist in the other party's face, desperately holding the child in his arms with one hand, and pulling the person in front of him away with the other hand.
But at this time, the middle-aged man's feet suddenly slipped, one foot stepped on the empty stairs, and the whole person lost his balance and fell down the stairs, hitting the wall next to Zhao Ke.
"Click!"
Zhao Ke stood aside, and he could hear a clear sound of his skull cracking, and the blood was like a blooming peony, dragging bright red marks on the wall.
saw the middle-aged man's hand, holding the child in his arms, struggling to get up, but he struggled several times without success, and instead sat on the ground.
"Kid! Child! ”
Blankly glanced at the child in his arms, and saw that the child was intact, Fang Cai's still fierce face, the tense expression on his face couldn't help but loosen, and he wanted to get up, but he found that his legs and feet had no strength, and even his head became groggy.
"Nope! I can do it, I can do it! ”
The middle-aged man tried to shake his head and wanted to sit up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stand up, and a drop of bright red blood fell on the forehead of the child in his arms, making the man stunned, and stretched out his hand to wipe his nose, only to find that his nose was already bleeding uncontrollably.
Not only the nose, but also the ears, the wound on the head, a blur of flesh and blood, sitting on the ground looked like a bloody man, and the people behind him were shocked and avoided.
"Don't go, don't go, save my child, save my child"
The middle-aged man seemed to realize something, his face suddenly turned pale, and he reached out to pull the person next to him, but at this time, no one pulled him, but ran for his life.
"No, please, please, save my child!"
At this time, he grabbed one of the legs, and his fierce face showed a pleading look, begging the other party to save his child.
"Let go!"
One man raised his leg and kicked his hand away, and quickly withdrew with the crowd, looking at the pedestrians running briskly past him, the man's eyes showed despair.
However, at this time, a nurse heard the child's cry, turned back from below, and rushed up quickly.
"Are you alright? Can you still go?? ”
Seeing the nurse, the man's eyes couldn't help but burst with hope, and he hurriedly handed it over and said, "I can't leave, her name is Yang Mei, and she lives in Wangcheng Road Garden Community, Building A...... 201 Take her away, go! ”
The man knew that he was dying, and he could feel a cold black hole in himself, devouring his consciousness.
Pushing the child up with all his might, his hand was tightly tugging on the child's clothes, his eyes were fixed on the child's face, and a line of tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
The moment he saw the child open his eyes, a smile appeared on the man's face, his palm loosened, and he let go of the child's clothes, and with that smile, the light in his pupils disappeared.
From beginning to end, Zhao Ke stood aside, watching coldly, not only the middle-aged man, but also the faces around him.
Human nature, at this moment, was completely torn off the veil of camouflage on weekdays and revealed in front of itself.
But good and evil, in this middle-aged man, became blurred.
I don't know why, looking at the smile on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth.
Zhao Kexin was a little touched, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help the middle-aged man's eyes close, and at the same time, he didn't know how to use the source hand, grabbed it gently, and pinched a crystal-like bead in his hand.
"Don't squeeze! This way! ”
The passage was quickly cleared by the firefighters below, Zhao Ke mixed in the crowd, walked out together, and looked up to find that the twelfth-floor office, thick smoke billowed out, and the flames began to spread around, and the upper and lower floors also began to be affected.
"Don't stand there, get out of here!"
Firefighters were around, constantly evacuating the crowd.
The sound of sirens echoed everywhere, and firefighters, ambulances, and began to converge from all directions of the city.
The floors are too high, and the windows on the twelfth floor are specially made, most of them are fake windows, and it is difficult to fight the fire directly from below.
Zhao Ke walked out of the building, stood outside, looked at the firefighters speeding past him, and rushed into the building one by one, I don't know why, but there is something wrong in my heart.
At this time, Zhao Ke stretched out his hand, and like a drop of crystal in his palm, a very small ball of light was pinched in Zhao Ke's hand.
In his mind, recalling the moment when the middle-aged man finally let go, Zhao Ke closed his eyes and stuffed the ball into his mouth.
In an instant, the complex emotions that poured out from the depths of his heart strongly impacted Zhao Ke's mind.
Strong reluctance and pain of separation, Zhao Ke couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that the bones in his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
But after tasting it carefully, what is wrapped inside is a kind of sweetness, an indescribable feeling.
It's a taste I've never experienced before, it's warm, it's heavy, maybe it'...... This is family affection.
"Shhh
Taking a deep breath, the cold wind poured down his throat and into his lungs, causing Zhao Ke to gradually recover his original mood, but he kept his head down, hiding his face in the dark, and the only thing he could see was a tear dripping down his cheek.
Under the strong light behind him and the light of the fire, Zhao Ke's lone shadow disappeared into the darkness little by little.
