Chapter 62: Hope in the Midst of Despair
Weixing Building, a 32-storey office building that has just been built for a few months, has a lot of companies in it, but there are also many floors that are not empty for the time being.
At this time, the 20th floor and the top floor of the building were all on fire, although most of the companies were concentrated below the 20th floor, but there were also some companies in the more than 20 floors, and there were many staff, and it was initially estimated that there were no less than 100 people trapped at this time.
Moreover, the fire caused by this explosion was very sudden, and the fire went out of control almost instantly, blocking the escape route above.
There were quite a few onlookers gathered under the building, and many of them didn't know that it was a purposeful terror. The attack, not an accidental fire, was so there was a lot of talk while watching, and the building was full of panic as people rushed out of the building.
The sound of the fire alarm has been heard in the distance, but many people know that even if the fire alarm comes, it is basically useless, with this kind of fire, it will not take an hour, and the part above the 20th floor will be completely burned to ashes, and those trapped are basically dead.
Soon, more than a dozen fire trucks quickly arrived, and dozens of firefighters immediately got out of the car to carry out rescue, spread out water pipes, assemble high-pressure water cannons, and set up ladders.
The firefighters quickly assembled the water cannons, and also raised the ladder, and the high-pressure water cannons sprayed water jets into the burning floor, but because the fire was too high and the fire was very large, those water jets were a drop in the bucket.
A moment later, police cars also drove over, immediately helping to clear the crowd around, maintain order, and set up a cordon, but the people outside the cordon were gathering more and more, and the nearby roads were blocked.
"What's going on now?" Director Tian rushed out of the car and hurriedly asked.
"Director Tian, now people above the twentieth floor are trapped and can't get out at all, and the fire is too big, and we firefighters can't get in!" The captain of the fire brigade said with a solemn face.
Tian Guocheng's face sank: "How many people are trapped?" ”
"The preliminary estimate is no less than a hundred!"
"Damn, this inhuman lunatic!" Tian Guocheng gritted his teeth angrily, this clown clearly let him watch the hostages and innocent people being burned alive.
"Has the emergency rescue helicopter been contacted?" Tian Guocheng suddenly grabbed the fire captain again, and asked anxiously.
"Director, contacted, you also know the situation of our domestic emergency rescue helicopters, with this kind of fire, even if we rush over, I'm afraid it's too late!" The fire chief said helplessly.
"Then you have to try it, you can't just watch those big living people get burned to death!" Director Tian's eyes were a little red, he felt so helpless for the first time, and felt that he was so powerless in the face of gangsters. Completely other people led him by the nose, and played again and again, making him watch his colleagues, his comrades-in-arms, and innocent people being played to death by the other party again and again but there was nothing he could do, that feeling really made him go crazy.
At this time, the directors and police of other sub-bureaus also rushed over, after all, the impact of this incident is too great, how can they get a sense of presence on the scene, otherwise the leaders will see it and think they are inactive, but even if they come over, they are just watching and can't do anything at all, after all, even the firefighters can't get in, what role can they play.
"Oh, no, someone jumped off the building!" Just when Director Tian was at a loss to look at the fire above, an exclamation suddenly sounded from behind, Tian Guocheng's heart tightened, and his eyes immediately saw a figure, falling down the building at great speed, I don't know whether it was because of extreme fear, and panicked, and it was also a dead end if he didn't care about jumping down, or he was too afraid of being burned to death, and wanted to end his life like this.
However, seeing this scene, including Tian Guocheng, the hearts of everyone at the scene trembled, especially when they saw that person finally fell heavily underneath, and the blood instantly stained the ground red, it was really shocking!
"Quick, quick, lay the air cushion!" Tian Guocheng, who came back to his senses, shouted hysterically, and the fire captain hurriedly instructed his subordinates to lay a life-saving air cushion, but they knew very well that even if the air cushion was laid, it would basically be useless.
First of all, the building was already wrapped in thick smoke, and they couldn't see where anyone would jump down, and the air cushion they brought was impossible to surround the building all around, not to mention that the floor where the fire was on fire was too high, even if they jumped down and fell on this air cushion, they would be crippled if they didn't die.
But in the face of this situation, he can't help but act, whether it is out of conscience or responsibility, he must save lives as much as possible!
But before their air cushion could be inflated, another figure fell from the upper floor, and finally landed on the ground more than ten meters away from the air cushion, and also fell to his death.
"Stop jumping!" Tian Guocheng roared anxiously, his heart was extremely painful, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, he really felt that his opponent was too cruel and terrible, how could a person be so disregarded for life and so unconscionable.
"Help, help, who's going to save us......"
"Please, save us!" Hysterical shouts and desperate screams could be heard from upstairs. Looking at the fresh lives upstairs, dying and struggling in the flames, listening to the call but there was nothing to do, Tian Guocheng's heart was really like a knife.
The same is true for the rest of the people present, and the mood is really extremely heavy.
At this time, the atmosphere at the scene was also extremely heavy, everyone was worried about the people trapped upstairs, and they were also feeling sad and sorry for the people who fell to their deaths.
But he could only helplessly look at the fire, like a ruthless beast, constantly devouring the seemingly majestic building, devouring the fresh lives inside, but there was nothing he could do.
"Someone jumped down again!" Everyone present let out an exclamation again, and two more figures fell from different directions upstairs.
In an instant, everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and they unconsciously let out an exclamation again, and they even saw the picture of this person's tragic death in their minds.
But at this moment, a figure that appeared out of nowhere fell from the sky, caught one of them, and then, in the shocked gaze of everyone, took that person, stepped on a flying skateboard, crossed an arc in the air, and went straight to the other person who fell from the building.
In the next second, I saw that the falling figure seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and the speed of its fall suddenly slowed down, and finally almost completely stopped when it was about to approach the ground, and then slowly fell to the ground, as if a white filament was connected to its body.
Immediately afterwards, another person was lowered from above in the same way.
The figure in the sky was stepping on the flying skateboard and rushed directly into the smoke.
In an instant, everyone present was stunned, looking at the direction in which the figure disappeared in disbelief, and even blinked vigorously, thinking that they were dazzled.
"What was that?"
"It looks like a person!"
"That man can fly!"
After the shock, everyone let out exclamations one after another, and the person who had just been rescued jumped off the building slowly got up from the ground, his face was confused, and then they all turned their heads to look up.
After Zheng Yi rushed into the building, his keen hearing and eyesight immediately made him lock the location of the trapped people around him, and also let him quickly lock the location of the trapped people on this floor, and immediately formulated a rescue plan in his heart.
He first came to the nearest men, who were standing at the window in despair, shouting desperately, coughing violently from time to time, and some of them seemed to be ready to jump off the building but in pain.
"Don't jump!" Zheng Yi shouted, and his voice became Batman's unique voice under the effect of the bat helmet sound modifier, which immediately attracted the attention of those people.
But when they saw Zheng Yi's strange costume that seemed to be Batman and seemed to be the Green Goblin, they were a little stunned, and even thought that they were hallucinating because they had inhaled too much poisonous gas.
"I'm here to save you!" After explaining, Zheng Yi saw that several people were still stunned, so he stopped talking nonsense, grabbed one in one hand, mentioned the two people, and flew out directly from the window.
"It's out, it's out!"
There was a sudden exclamation below, and the eyes of countless people converged on Zheng Yi, but at this time, Zheng Yi didn't have time to pay attention to the incredulous and surprised gazes of the people below, and when he rushed out of the range shrouded in smoke and flames, he used spider silk to put the two of them down directly from above and landed safely.
Seeing this scene, everyone below suddenly let out a burst of cheers, and seeing that the person could fly on such a small flying machine, and could also use a strange filament to put the person down from above, everyone was also amazed and extremely surprised.
Of course, what excites them the most is that seeing those who were destined to die being saved, seeing the impossible become possible, as if finally seeing a ray of sunrise in the endless darkness, seeing a glimmer of hope, let everyone's heavy hearts be released at once, and they can't help but cheer with excitement.
"Okay, great, it's saved, it's saved!" Tian Guocheng also shouted excitedly, his originally gloomy cheeks were also full of excitement, looking at Zheng Yi above, as if a drowning man saw a life-saving straw.
In the past few days, he has been played by clowns one after another, and he has suffered blows one after another, which really made him haggard, extremely depressed, and extremely frustrated, so that he has even lost confidence, and the sudden appearance of the mysterious person in front of him turned the tide, but suddenly ignited the fighting spirit in his heart again, and made him suddenly see the victory over the darkness and the victory over the horror. Hope for molecules.
Although he didn't know who he was or how he did it, at this moment, this person was a savior-like existence and a hero-like existence in his heart, which made him extremely respectful and grateful.
