Chapter 16: The End, or the Beginning
Beep Bobo...... Boom –
Fire.
The smoke filled the air, and the crimson flames raged and burned, licking everything around them that could be touched. The fire that ignited at midnight is located in a five-storey residential building, which itself is a workers' residence, the safety facilities are not complete, and there are quite a lot of various debris on the walkway.
In the room on the fourth floor of this building, the sound of flames obscured everything, but faintly, there was still a cry of "help" accompanied by a cough, it was a large water tank in the kitchen, a child stuck his head out of the water tank, but there was also suffocating smoke above, he coughed a few times with difficulty, and the heat wave accompanied the explosion suddenly hit one side. A gas tank placed in the corner finally exploded at this moment, and the red flames spread in all directions, but the next moment, it shrank back as if it had been suppressed by something, and a figure blocked the front of the water tank, and the water tank also slammed and shattered.
"Ah......h
Someone snorted softly, and the water in the tank, which had been slightly hot, rushed in all directions, and the child fell to the ground. The next moment, the figure waved his hand, and the wind swept out the smoke around him, and the flames around him were also weakening, and the wind was only the one that blew away the smoke, but these flames became smaller at a high speed as if they were being blown by a strong wind. The figure groaned under his breath again, looking at his waist, where the fragments of the gas canister explosion had cut a bloody cut.
Although he gathered a protective shield of energy when he saw the explosion, such a shield could not block the impact of the explosion of the entity, although the impact was weakened a little, but he was still cut by the iron piece of this gas canister, the good thing is that the lower abdomen was not pierced like this, but the injury was really enough, he reached out and pressed the place where the blood gushed out. He looked back at the child, and then picked up the child, who was soaked and had fainted.
Walking towards the house next to him, the flames were constantly pressed back in the space around him, the smoke was also dispersed with a wave of his hand, and a large wardrobe that was burned to the point that only the shelves were left collapsed, and he smashed it a few meters away with one hand, falling apart and flying wildly. In such an environment, he was obviously a little uncomfortable, this was the center of the fire, the air had been burned to the ground, and his breathing was not smooth, and a piece of smoke was dispersed, and the smoke was replenished, and the fire on the periphery was too great, although the surrounding flames were suppressed, once he left, the terrifying scarlet spread again.
He hurried to the window behind him with the child in his arms, and then, as if sensing something, he walked towards the door, and when the flames in the aisle were pushed back, a figure slammed into the door in front of him, and met him in the aisle, which was still shrouded in heat.
It was a tall woman with a person in her hands, wearing a tight-fitting tracksuit, and her figure was curvaceous. Of course, it is more appropriate to say that she is carrying people than carrying people, and the woman beside her has completely fainted. The woman who rescued people was obviously much more embarrassed than the image here, the tracksuit that was probably blue had turned black - even most of her cheeks, and her hair was scorched a lot by the flames, which was probably a difficult thing for a beauty-loving woman. When she saw the man holding the child here, she was slightly stunned.
This is almost the center of the fire, and people from outside can hardly see it, and it is obviously more than just a coincidence that requires fate to meet in this kind of place. Both of them hesitated, but without saying hello, the woman had already reacted when she caught a glimpse of the flames around her and threw the woman who had fainted on her side directly to this side.
The hundred-pound human body was thrown several meters away by her and was caught by the man.
"There's also a ...... in there"
She seemed to have said such a thing, and rushed in again.
The man, holding a child and a woman, flew up the hallway and flew downward. When he was in mid-air, he took a deep breath with some difficulty, and the next moment, an inexplicable huge force pressed down on all sides, opening a path in the burning flames.
This area without flames will probably last for a while......
He flew in one direction outside the fire, where a man and a girl in pink pajamas were waiting at the entrance of the small alley in front of them.
The fire has not spread to this alley for the time being, but the surrounding terrain is complicated, once it is burned to put out the fire, it is very difficult, and no one in the vicinity dares to continue to stay here, he put the child and the woman down, and the girl in the pink pajamas squatted down to rescue him and artificial respiration. Another man walked outside to the noisy area, and after a while, called a stretcher and a doctor.
These three people are naturally Lan Zi, Coral and Fang Qingyi.
It had been several times since they went back and forth in the spreading fire, and although Lan Zi was able to control the energy, it had already spread a lot when they came, and the area of several buildings could not be suppressed after all. With his ability, it is probably no problem to cooperate with the water dragon of the fire truck to press through one room after another, but that is really eye-catching, and he originally hesitated to do this, but then saw that someone was trapped, so he first chose to go in to save people.
The nearby streets are chaotic and noisy, in this case, the people who want to help can't actually help anything, when they sent the rescued two people over, the child's parents also cried and shouted, these two people were on the night shift in the factory, the child was at home alone, and thought that he couldn't see it at all, at this time he sent the child to the ambulance, and came over to thank him, Fang Qingyi dealt with it there, and said: "We are the Young Pioneers......
Coral took medicinal wine and bandages from the medical staff and came over to treat the wound on Lan Zi's lower abdomen, and in the crowd on the other side, she also saw the woman who had a lot of hair burned in order to save people, she took a sip of water, glanced over here, and saw that Lan Zi was injured when she nodded slightly, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd. Fang Qingyi came over and noticed: "Wow, although it is burned black, the figure is really good...... Do you know? ”
Lan Zi will take a look inside and say, "Maybe it's someone from the boundary monument." ”
"Probably." Fang Qingyi nodded, "What's going on inside, is there anyone else?" ”
"I've probably turned around, and ...... can be saved," he hesitated for a moment, and brought a bottle of mineral water to his mouth, "I probably saved everything that can be saved...... We'll go around the downwind and try to keep the fire out of the way, and we'll probably have to leave the rest to the fire brigade......"
"Fewer people died than expected."
Fang Qingyi said. Lan Zi didn't quite understand: "Huh? ”
"Maybe it was because the initial movement was too loud and woke up the people who were asleep, or maybe there were evolutionaries who suppressed it at the beginning, buying time for most of them. Either way, many fewer people died than expected. ”
"Is it really the result of the battle between the Gate of Truth and the Boundary Monument?"
"Who knows?" Fang Qingyi shook his head and smiled, "By the way, I found that you seem to be interested in fire...... Very sensitive. ”
"Huh?" Lan Zi was stunned, "That's it...... I just want to save people. ”
"In short, there are some aspects that are different from ordinary people."
Fang Qingyi said this, Coral had already tied the bandages, the three of them walked through the crowd, and on the other side of the downwind, Lan Zi was a little puzzled about what Fang Qingyi meant, but at this time, there was no mood to chat. On the way over, the woman who was all blackened by the flames reappeared in the field of vision, she was talking on the phone with her mobile phone, and when the two sides approached, she frowned and glanced at the three of them, and stopped: "You ......" Lan Zi noticed that her hands were full of blood blisters burned by the flames.
“…… It's an evolutionary, right? She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "What if...... No, tonight...... Better try to stay out of trouble tonight......"
She probably wanted to say something concrete, but in the end she just said it and hurried away. Fang Qingyi smiled lightly: "It looks a little hesitant, he doesn't want to pull us in, but he also wants us to help a little." ”
All the way to the downwind of the fire, two water trucks were suppressing the fire that swept over, the nearby crowd had already evacuated, and the police were also preventing the crowd from approaching, Lan Zi came to the roof of a nearby residential building where people had been evacuated, and extended the touch towards the flames, blocking the spread of energy, in fact, he had already suppressed a lot of the overall flames when he was saving people inside, at this time the process of extinguishing the fire was not difficult, the situation was basically stabilized, and the fire could not be expanded, but of course, Those places that have been engulfed in flames are obviously no longer helpless.
After the flames of the nearest building faded, Lan Zi breathed a sigh of relief. On the other side of the roof, Fang Qingyi and Coral were each holding a telescope to look around, around the field of vision, one after another houses stretched out in all directions, and the factories in the distance were still brightly lit, Lan Zi walked to Coral, patted her shoulder, let her look at the fire behind her, and said with some relief: "It's done." ”
Coral put down his binoculars and looked at the fire, laughing happily, the firelight rendering the smiling faces of the two of them, and it was at this time that something shook the air.
The impact came from afar, layer upon layer, like a stormy wave crashing against the shore and reef, but in the distance, only faint sounds could be heard. Lan Zi and Coral turned their heads, and in the distance in the factory area, a ball of fire rose.
It looked like a missile explosion, or a magnificent burst of molten steel in a steelworks, and the light was still rising, spreading out in all directions, and a huge factory building was engulfed in with the rising light, and the huge chimney of the factory had begun to tilt, and then disintegrated, twisted, and collapsed into the exploding factory in the field of vision.
The light lit up the night sky, and the vibration followed, Fang Qingyi put down the telescope, in order to avoid the dazzling light, he lowered his head, and sighed softly in the vibration.
"Started ......"
