When Chen Ye ran to the sixth floor, what he saw was a broken staircase, and at the edge of the staircase, one hand was stubbornly picking on it, the fire gloves had been torn by the broken steel bars at the handrails, the exposed fingers were buckled on it, and the blood flowed down the fingers at the broken nails.

"Haoyu?" Chen Ye stepped over in two steps, grabbed the railing next to him with one hand, grabbed Wu Haoyu's bloody hand with the other, and lifted it up hard, but saw Wu Haoyu's other hand, actually holding the little girl he had seen before.

And he will never forget that when he mentioned it in mid-air, he saw a pair of blackened pants and completely charred feet.

He was even fully convinced that, with their physique, they were good enough to grasp the edge of the stairs with one hand and hold a little girl. But this pair of legs, while being scorched by the flames below, can still do this, and it is not only possible to rely on physical strength.

When Chen Ye lifted Wu Haoyu up, after his pale face saw that the little girl who was already standing on the ground was fine, the tense nerve was finally disconnected, and the severe pain that he had been enduring before filled his mind for a moment, and he completely fainted.

didn't care about other emotions at all, Chen Ye carried the little girl on his shoulder, and picked up Wu Haoyu on the ground with the other hand, Chen Ye strode upstairs.

"Is the air cushion installed?" Chen Ye almost roared at the walkie-talkie.

The only safe passage has been completely impassable, the fire spreading below is far more serious than imagined, and the cause has been identified, a large amount of gasoline has ignited these floors, not to mention a few people only have dry powder fire extinguishers, even if the vehicles downstairs can provide support, it is simply irretrievable.

"One o'clock east direction air cushion installed!"

"The air cushion is installed at eleven o'clock in the west!"

Two reports came.

And at this moment, with a rumbling sound, the building tilted suddenly, Chen Ye's feet slipped, and Wu Haoyu, who was clamping, fell to the ground, his frowning brows had a hint of reaction, and two seconds later, he opened it slowly, and the moment he saw Chen Ye, Wu Haoyu seemed to say with his last strength.

Chen ...... Team Chen...... Leave me alone...... First...... Saving ......"

The voice came from the walkie-talkie and into Chen Ye's headset, and not only him, but everyone who could hear the sound quieted down.

All the firefighters who heard the sound, from the first sound of the collapse of the building, have already understood that this time, nine deaths.

That is, from that moment on, everyone was ready to sacrifice.

Even if it is to save one more person, it is worth it.

Twelve floors, almost a limit number, this height throws a person onto an inflatable cushion, although there is a high degree of certainty of survival, however, the lightest is also the end of a fracture, not to mention, the impact of internal organs, the concussion that may be caused when the head hits the ground first.

But at this point, they had no choice but to do so.

Chen Ye gritted his teeth, of course he understood, but Wu Haoyu, who had only been in the company for two months, was still very young and had a lot of youth, and when he saw him like this at this time, he couldn't bear it for a while.

But he still picked up the little girl and said to the headset. "Transfer everyone to the twelfth floor, and do the airbag drop from one o'clock east to eleven o'clock west." After that, he picked up Wu Haoyu. "Don't be stupid, I haven't eaten the ten catties of red dates that your mother sent to the brothers in the team last time."

Gritting his teeth, Chen Ye ran upstairs.

The scene on the 12th floor needs a large number of people to stabilize order, and in this life-and-death situation, everyone wants to live and want to be the first to jump, and in this case, few people will remain sane. However, the air cushion was not sure where it landed at all, and if the jump was in a hurry, the person who jumped down first did not move away, and the second person who jumped down immediately fell on him, and it would be two lives.

In the process of running, Chen Ye felt that the little girl holding his other hand was about to take something out of his arms, looked down, let go a little, and let the girl withdraw her hand, only to see that in the little girl's hand, a blue glass bead appeared, emitting a faint light in the dark night.

This light was not dazzling, he was only faintly lit by the light of the surrounding fire.

It's like a star in the sky.

Quietly.

This glass bead gave Chen Ye at this time an indescribable feeling.

The blue glow of the night was not swallowed up by the darkness, nor was it affected by the red of the firelight.

This feeling...... It's like ......

Chen Ye muttered to himself.

It's hope.

Chen Ye was in it, feeling a glimmer of hope.

It doesn't shine as brightly as a beacon in the dark of night.

It was that faint, soft light that made him feel a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

Only then did I pay attention to the little girl in my arms, four or five years old, with a pretty face, fleshy, innocent big eyes, and I couldn't realize what was happening at this time.

"That's hope!"

Chen Ye's eyes lit up. Without stopping, he looked at the floor marked "11" above and continued to walk.

"It is precisely because of the next generation that human beings have been able to survive to this day, and it is precisely because of the next generation that countless people who are dying of old age have the motivation to live. Because they know that the future of mankind is there. ”

Look at the floor marked "12", and the crowds.

Chen Ye suddenly understood something, and said solemnly towards the headset.

"Let the child jump first."

Chen Ye said, first in the stairwell, he tried to disperse the crowd, looked for the youngest child, sent it to the front row, and handed it over to his brothers.

But no one noticed that this 31-year-old calm man was pale at this time.

At the moment of speaking, he grabbed Wu Haoyu's arm and sank suddenly.

He knew that he would never be able to eat the big red dates sent by that aunt. Never, I will never see the young man who will scratch his head in embarrassment, but always say with high morale that he will one day replace himself as the captain.

The roar of the walls in my ears became more and more frequent, and the ground under my feet continued to tremble.

Time no longer allows Chen Ye to think too much, even if his face is bloodless, he must maintain his optimism in front of his subordinate brothers and these people waiting for rescue.

Only then will people believe that hope still exists.

Ten men in firefighting suits slowly stabilized the situation at the scene, and four people have successfully jumped off one after another, although some broke their legs, some broke their arms, but the news from the third and fourth teams, at least on the surface, they survived.

Even among them, two women, even unable to see the air cushion under the thick smoke, still hugged the baby in swaddling clothes, gritted their teeth and jumped off.

Although one broke his leg and the other even fell unconscious after jumping, their children were unharmed.

These news have been told to those around them at all times, which also makes the rest of the people also see hope.

Invariably, men consciously stepped back, leaving their wives, children, and even other people's children to the front.

In this night of flickering firelight, in front of hope, let Chen Ye see the best side of human nature.

Chen Ye hugged the little girl to the windowsill and looked at her encouragingly.

When the words of the previous person who have come alive from the air cushion and the next can be prepared are heard.

Chen Ye let go of his clenched arm.

And at this moment, the azure glass bead in the little girl's hand fell and rolled at Chen Ye's feet.

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, and bent down to pick it up.

This is probably a gift from the little girl to show her gratitude...... It's beautiful.

Chen Ye's pale face showed a smile at this moment.

But the number of tremors under his feet became more and more frequent, which made the smile that Chen Ye had just emerged disappear again.

Stuffing the glass beads into his jacket pocket, Chen Ye took a step back and looked at the next woman who was ready, she was holding her two-year-old son, standing by the windowsill with her back to her, closing her eyes tightly, waiting for Chen Ye's instructions.

"Survived! There are no obvious external injuries in the whole body! Next Ready! Chen Ye listened to the voice in the headset and breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that for young children, the body is light, and jumping down will cause less damage, but children who are too young still need to be held, otherwise they will deviate when they fall and fall outside the air cushion because they are too light.

"Alright, ready." Chen Ye said to the woman in front of him.

And at this moment, as the rumbling sound resounded in his mind, Chen Ye instantly stood unsteadily, uncontrollably, and fell behind him.

Looking at the stars moving rapidly downward outside the window, Chen Ye knew that this building was about to collapse.

Turning his head to look at his teammates beside him.

Lao Wang, who also leaned his body, looked at himself, raised his eyebrows, and pursed his lips.

That is, I had time to turn my head at this time, and I couldn't help but say in my mind: "My teammates, if you want to die, you have to skin it." After complaining.

Then, as his body fell, he watched the wall panel on his head crack and smash in front of him.

In front of Chen Ye's eyes, he was completely plunged into pitch darkness.
