Chapter 174: The Burning Throne (1)
The Dodge Tomahawk slammed open the door to the fiftieth floor stairwell, sending a thick cloud of smoke in his face.
The floor was filled with thick smoke, the headlights of the locomotive could not penetrate it, the smoke rolled down the corridor, the heat wave rolled, and the two of them seemed to step into the sauna, and the air temperature around them suddenly became scorching.
Anna was taken aback and quickly covered her mouth and nose.
Belle sat in the back seat and coughed violently, "What's going on?" Is there a fire somewhere? ”
They don't know exactly where the fire is, they can't see the fire, the structure of the Jin Mao Tower is complicated, but the smoke can go anywhere along the corridors and vents, as long as there is a fire in one place, then the entire floor will soon be filled with thick smoke, Anna's exposed skin feels obviously burned, which shows that she is very close to the fire.
Belle and Anna didn't realize that there was a fire in the building because the flames and smoke would spread up the floor, and the fire would go up much faster than down, and the smoke would even climb up the stairs.
They came up through the fire staircase in the center of the building, which had always been closed and isolated from the floor, and it was difficult for the smoke to spread into the fire escape, but now that Anna had opened the door to the stairwell, the staircase and the floor were immediately connected, and the smoke immediately poured in.
"Doctor, heavy artillery, attention! There was a fire in the building! Reich reminded in the headset that he could see flickering fires on more than fifty floors when he looked up downstairs, "The fire is still spreading upwards!" ”
"Why the fire?" Belle asked aloud, her tears coming out of her eyes, the pungent smell of burning plastic in the air, and the building's structure containing a large number of composite materials that would burn and release toxic gases in the fire.
Ariana immediately went upstairs without saying a word, she held her breath and twisted the accelerator, and the locomotive climbed the stairs, and the thick white smoke flowed under their feet, slowly spreading.
They don't have protective gear, and it would be dangerous to stay in the fire for long periods of time, and Anna must get out of here as soon as possible.
There is always an illusion that smoke and fire spread slowly in a fire, and the reason for this illusion is that in people's eyes, smoke does not spread much faster than crawling, so people think that they can escape from the fire with their legs.
Most people who die in the fire have this idea, in fact, the smoke and fire spread much faster than people think, and if you want to escape the fire, you have to run while the temperature is still warm and the air can breathe, because the smoke and flames will spread out of your sight, and when you actually see the smoke, it is often too late, which means that you are already in the fire, and the smoke concentration will rise rapidly in a very short time, and you can suffocate in a few minutes.
It's hard to get past a fire on two legs alone, but luckily Anna and Belle have transportation.
"Probably caused by an explosion!" Rech replied, "There was an explosion in the building!" It could have been an explosion that started the fire! Be careful, there may be subsequent explosions! ”
The bomb placed by the Night King on the power distribution floor did not kill Lemon and Lu Xun, but it caused a fire, which spread from the fifty-second floor to the top and bottom, and the rescue team downstairs could see the billowing smoke when they looked up, and the fire had grown to the point of being uncontrollable, and the heavy rain was pouring down.
Belle tore off the strip of cloth from her coat and tightly covered her mouth and nose, they must go upstairs to rescue the survivors, the location of the survivors has been sent to them, at this time Ariana and Belle are the last rescue force, and their actions are related to the success or failure of the whole plan.
Both of them were a little glad that they didn't take the elevator, taking the elevator in the fire was simply looking for death, the Night King blew up the power distribution room, the entire Jin Mao Building was instantly powered off, all the elevators were out of service, Anna and Belle had to climb up through the fire escape, but this unintentionally reduced them a lot of trouble.
All the survivors were hung by the Night King on the fence on the 60th floor of the building's atrium, and the fire would not spread for a while, giving Anna and Belle time to rescue them.
However, there are more than 100 survivors, and it is really hard to say how many people can be rescued in the end with the strength of these two girls alone.
A fire swept through the Jin Mao Tower, but there were only two firefighters.
The Dodge Tomahawk rushed into the sixtieth floor, smashed directly into the glass door and ran over the front desk, and the Dodge Tomahawk's parallel double front wheels combined with the huge weight made it as unstoppable as a rhinoceros. Belle jumped out of the car, and the 60th floor was originally the guest rooms and restaurants of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, where diners can enjoy the view of the sun shining through the atrium like a time tunnel, those restaurants are still there, but the tourists have long disappeared, and these hotel rooms and restaurants have been vacant for decades.
Belle had already seen the survivor hanging from the fence, and she rushed forward, but bounced back like an electric shock, her face pale and her body trembling.
"That'...... ...... down there."
"That's the Night King's wife!" Anna stopped the locomotive, "Leave it alone, it's important to save people!" ”
"But that thing is disgusting too......" Belle panted and pointed under the fence, "how can the Night King have such an old lady?" ”
"What's so strange about the Night King's disgusting thing, and an even more disgusting old lady?" Anna took off her backpack and firearm and was still on the ground, she stepped forward and stood inside the fence, reached out and grabbed the rope, and pulled back the survivor hanging outside the fence, her pupils suddenly shrank.
"What's wrong?" Belle was stunned.
"Speed up! There are bombs here, and we are running out of time. Ariana's tone was cold, and she reached out to the inner wall of the atrium, and Belle looked in the direction she was pointing, holding her breath.
A huge amount of explosives were placed inside the building, on the walls, on the pillars, densely layered, Belle at first thought it was some kind of decoration, but when she looked closely, she found that there were detonators stuck in it.
"Are these bombs timed?" Belle asked, "When will it explode?" ”
"Whether they're timed or not, at least when the fire comes here, they're going to explode! That's enough explosives to blow up an entire building. Anna was sweating profusely, "The Night King, this madman, he wants everyone to die here!" ”
Anna and Belle began to try their best to pull the survivors up, place them on the floor, and then turn around to save the next one, each of them was tied up unconscious, they didn't have time to wake them up, there was a fire under their feet and a bomb on their heads, Anna and Belle could only save one and count one. There are more than 100 survivors here, and they must save as many people as they can before the fire and smoke spread.
"How do we get these people out?" Belle gasped, "You have to go through the fire to go downstairs, and the way out has been blocked." ”
Not only how do the survivors get out, but how Anna and Belle evacuate here is also a big problem, they passed the fire when they came up from downstairs, and now the fire should have spread to the entire fifty-two floors, whether it is an elevator or a fire escape, the air temperature in the center of the fire can be as high as seven or eight hundred degrees, and a second can make people seriously burned.
"I'll figure out a way to do this, you can save people!" Anna picked up the backpack on the ground and held down the headphones, "Rehe! In which direction is the downstairs fire spreading in the building? ”
"East! Spread to the east! ”
“OK!” Anna grabbed a chair and threw it out and smashed it through the glass curtain wall on the west side of the building.
