With this thought, the six of them suppressed all the doubts in their hearts and followed Lin Beichen calmly without saying a word, walking downstairs with confidence.
Soon, we were on the third and a half floors.
A burst of chaotic footsteps emerged from the crackling sound of flames, mixed with the sound of exchanges.
"Speed up. At this speed, the day lilies will be cold when we get to the fifth floor."
"It's a bit too slow. From now on, even if we take more risks, we have to increase this speed. Otherwise, I'm worried that even if the three groups were fine in the explosion just now, they will still..."
"I agree, if we be more careful, we should be fine."
"..."
There is no doubt that the footsteps and exchanges came from the first and second groups who entered the fire scene immediately after.
They groped their way through the smoke and fire, and arrived here after great hardships.
Lin Beichen and his group kept walking and looked downstairs. They saw six people wearing fire protection suits looking around and walking cautiously upstairs.
"One group, two groups!"
"You guys came in too?"
"..."
The firefighters in the three groups recognized them immediately.
Hearing the sound, the firefighters from Group 2 looked up and saw Lin Beichen leading the firefighters from Group 3 and three residents walking quickly downstairs.
"Lin Beichen?!"
The firefighters from the first and second teams exclaimed in unison.
They didn't expect to see Lin Beichen here in this way. In their opinion, Lin Beichen had most likely died in the fire, but they didn't expect that he would reach the fifth floor before them and even kill people. Saved.
How did he do that?
Without wearing protective clothing, I could move faster than six people by myself!
and……
At this time, the firefighters from the first and second groups also noticed the six people behind Lin Beichen.
All three residents were wearing masks and their expressions could not be seen.
but……
The joyful smiles on the faces of the three groups of firefighters were fully displayed, and there was a sense of relaxation coming from them, and they could not feel any panic or anxiety at all.
how so?
How could this be their state?
The firefighters in Groups 1 and 2 knew that they were well-trained, but in this situation, they did not think they could remain calm. If they thought about it from their perspective, the same was true for themselves.
On the side, Lin Beichen looked very helpless and thought to himself: "Why are there so many people coming in again? Didn't they say they don't need it? Isn't this purely adding to my workload?"
Don't wait for anyone else to say anything.
He immediately said to the firefighters in the first and second groups: "Don't come over, just stay where you are, be careful not to get hit, and wait until I take everyone over to meet you and go out together."
Lin Beichen was helpless, but he was not helpless enough to see so many people dying in the fire. To him, lending a helping hand to them was just a casual thing.
Soon, under the leadership of Lin Beichen, three groups of firefighters and one group of two firefighters gathered on the stairs between the third and fourth floors.
In an instant, the firefighters in the first and second groups also felt the same feeling as the firefighters in the third group.
The surroundings are not that hot. Compared with the high temperature, it is even a little cool.
I feel even more...
The surrounding flames are moving away from the area where they are.
"this……?!"
The expressions of the firefighters in Group 2 were shocked, just like the expressions of the firefighters in Group 3 when they first realized this feeling.
They couldn't help but look at each other through their masks.
Eyes facing each other.
The look in his eyes was full of disbelief.
"Don't think too much."
At this time, one of the firefighters from the three groups spoke up and said, "If you have any problems, wait until we get out."
When he saw them trembling, he understood what was going on with them. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Lin Beichen and everyone else, he took the lead in getting a vaccination.
The firefighters in the first and second groups looked at the expressions of the firefighters in the third group through their masks. Seeing their "I understand how you feel" expressions, they nodded firmly to themselves.
They immediately stopped thinking about it and followed Lin Beichen towards the outside of the fire scene.
At the same time, outside the fire scene.
The water jets sprayed out from the two fire trucks shrank several times with the naked eye. Under the impact of such water flow, the fire, which was already somewhat unsuppressable, gradually began to get out of control. Although the fire had not completely erupted, But the increasingly thick black smoke has already given a foreshadowing.
The expressions on the faces of the onlookers were not optimistic.
"How long have you been here? Why is there no movement at all?"
"The young man who went in first... looked like he was a serious person who went to the fire scene to save people. How could anyone enter the fire scene without wearing any protective clothing? Isn't this just nonsense?"
"I guess the two groups of firefighters who went in later wanted to deal with the young man who went in before them before they even got to the fifth floor."
"Seeing that the fire can no longer be suppressed, if we don't come out, I'm afraid no one will come out."
"I really don't know how the fire brigade allowed such a young man to enter the fire scene. I don't understand, I really can't understand. Isn't this making things more difficult for myself and making fun of people's lives?"
"..."
Their comments were not deliberately suppressed, and they were clearly heard by the firefighters inside the cordon.
The firefighters looked at the raging flames in front of them and looked at their captain unconsciously. Their eyes were a little complicated, including confusion, doubts, complaints, etc.
They did not receive a direct call from their superiors and felt that there was nothing wrong with what the surrounding residents said.
Of course, it wasn't just them who heard the comments from the surrounding residents.
Captain Li Bin also heard clearly. He felt that there were two heavy bags in his hand that Lin Beichen had entrusted to him for safekeeping. His heart was also heavy.
Feeling stressed!
Li Bin has been a veteran firefighter for many years. He can analyze how the current fire situation will develop next than anyone else.
"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a big problem!"
At this moment, Li Bin no longer reported that he hoped that the first and second groups sent out could rescue the third group and the trapped residents. He only hoped that they could come back safely to avoid causing more casualties.
As for Lin Beichen...
He didn't have any expectations for him from the beginning, and naturally he couldn't talk about having any thoughts about him now.
Li Bin took out the walkie-talkie.
Just when he was about to contact the first and second groups and ask them to withdraw from the fire scene immediately and give up the rescue.
Sudden!
A series of explosions exploded.
"boom--!!"
"boom--!!"
"..."
Flames shot out from different windows in turn.
A series of explosions occurred again!
Firefighters' reports immediately came from all directions.
"Captain, the fire is out of control!"
"Captain, the water stored in the fire truck is about to bottom out!"
"..."
And they reported at the same time.
The onlookers also exploded.
"Oh my god, there's another explosion!"
"What's going on? It's a gas tank again? I don't think there are so many gas tanks that can explode, right?"
"It's over, it's over. This explosion feels more dangerous than the previous one. Is it all over now?"
"Hopefully those firefighters are okay."
"I'm not saying anything depressing. There are explosions of varying degrees from the first floor to the sixth floor. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of it, right?"
"Didn't you hear the firefighters say they can't control the fire? In other words, the fire will only get bigger and bigger. Even if the people inside were not killed by the explosion just now, they probably won't be able to get out of the fire. Alright?"
"If the fire cannot be controlled, will it spread to surrounding buildings or even the entire community?"
"..."
The more they talked, the more panicked they became.
That's not so bad...
It was as if they had seen their home being burned down.
Li Bin was not affected by the surrounding environment. At this moment, although he was very irritable and uneasy, his thoughts were extremely clear. He knew clearly that it was not a gas tank that exploded, but that the fire burned to a certain level, which happened naturally. explode.
And such an explosion is not the end, just the beginning!
There will be more and more in the future!
"This is bad!"
Li Bin secretly said something bad, and then immediately arranged work for other firefighters and took countermeasures instantly.
Wait until everything is arranged.
He then shouted into the intercom: "Group one, group two, exit immediately. If you hear me, please answer!"
"..."
Quiet.
There was no reply on the intercom.
Li Bin's heart skipped a beat, and the bad premonition in his heart was stronger than before.
"Group one, group two, can you hear me?!"
"Please answer if you hear me!"
"..."
His shouts became more and more urgent, and his voice became more and more anxious.
Coupled with the increasingly uncontrollable fire...
It makes people feel extremely flustered and confused.
I shouted for half a minute.
His heart sank a little with each shout.
The voice he shouted just when his heart was about to sink to the bottom could be vaguely heard coming from the fire scene.
"One...two...hear...answer!!!"
The voice was his, and it had a heavy mechanical noise.
Hearing the sound, Li Bin suddenly raised his head and looked at the entrance of the corridor, only to find that the fire was raging at the entrance of the corridor and there was no movement.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the others and found that the others were still talking non-stop, and no one looked at the corridor entrance at all.
just like……
What he just heard was just his own auditory hallucination.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Li Bin believes that he has a strong psychological quality and there is no such thing as auditory hallucinations due to excessive pressure. He believes what he hears.
and……
For now, he can only believe what he hears.
There was no hesitation.
Li Bin continued to shout into the intercom, his voice completely relaxed.
"Group one...two, listen...please answer!"
"Group one, group two...please answer!"
"..."
His voice came out more and more clearly from the sea of fire inside the corridor entrance, and through the crackling sound of the burning fire, it gradually reached everyone's ears.
"Someone is coming out of it?!"
Such thoughts appeared in everyone's minds unconsciously. At the same time, they all looked at the entrance of the corridor, their eyes full of expectation, expecting everyone to come out of that place.
"..."
Quiet.
For a moment, no one spoke at the scene.
Everyone focused on the entrance of the corridor. Soon, they were surprised to see many black shadows suddenly appearing in the bright red and yellow fire at the entrance of the corridor.
Those black shadows were so distorted by the high temperature that they could only be seen as a vertical line, but the specific outline was not clear at all.
"It's human!"
"A lot of people!"
Everyone is not stupid. At this time, there is a shaking black shadow from the fire scene, so it can only be a human figure, and there is absolutely no other possibility.
They didn't dare to blink for fear of missing something.
Under their gaze.
Soon, the twisted black shadow gradually became solid, and the outline became clearer. At a glance, one could see the silhouettes of people.
Everyone's faces showed an expression of "Sure enough," and just a few seconds later, their expressions of surprise and joy froze directly on their faces, and their eyes were full of horror.
The location of the corridor entrance.
Lin Beichen was the first to walk out of the fire that was like a barrier, with a smile on his face that made people feel like they were in the spring breeze, and his body was spotless.
And after him.
One after another, firefighters and the three trapped residents came out one after another.
The people who came out of the fire scene did not feel tense at all, as if they were just walking downstairs from the corridor of their home to throw away garbage.
For a time, the scene became even quieter.
Of course, such silence only lasted for a moment.
The next moment, the discussion was louder than ever before.
"Is it an illusion? How come these people who came out of the fire didn't feel like they came out of the fire at all?"
"No, compared to the firefighters who came out of the fire scene, how come the young man who came out first didn't look disgraced at all?"
"If I counted correctly, did everyone who entered the fire scene come out? Not even one?"
"With so many people, not one of them died, and looking like this, they weren't even injured?! This is really... not easy!"
"..."
They can say whatever they think in their hearts.
However, the firefighters within the cordon are disciplined and cannot say anything casually, but what they think in their hearts is no less than what the onlookers say.
And among this...
The one with the most active psychological activity is captain Li Bin.
Li Bin looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. In his opinion, with such an intensity of the fire, it was amazing that the first and second groups of firefighters who had gone in could come out. But now they have all come out, and along with them the trapped residents They also walked out of the fire scene. Everyone seemed to be in good condition, so good that if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even think that they had just experienced a fire!
"this……"
Li Bin's eyes were unconsciously locked on Lin Beichen who was walking towards him again. Although he hadn't asked anything yet, inexplicably, he felt that all this was because of him.
"How did he do that?!"
