Chapter 295 Chapter 295 Hot
Who knew that Zhang Le's words would come true?
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the dark red sun once again replaced the moon and occupied the vast starry sky.
The dim and distorted light enveloped the silent night. The little bird, which was dozing off, seemed to have received a call from the depths of its soul. It flapped its wings and flew out suddenly.
"Bang!"
Broken glass fell to the ground, and the bird flew into the sky like an arrow.
He Junxia, who was awakened by the sound of the collision, watched the scene quietly, but he was not very anxious in his heart - he knew that Yao Ling's target was the sun in the sky.
To successfully hatch a divine beast egg that had been given a death warrant, it must be something more than ordinary. Furthermore, the sun holds extraordinary significance in any mythological system.
According to He Junxia, this black sun that brought disaster to the small world should be closely related to the race of mythical beasts to which Yao Ling belonged - initially he even suspected that Yao Ling belonged to the three-legged golden crow.
Unfortunately, after careful observation and questioning, it was found that it indeed only had two legs, and might be some kind of companion beast related to the sun.
He Junxia stretched and fell back to sleep.
A son is no longer under the control of his father
Anyway, the child has already flown into the sky, and he can't possibly catch it back, after all, he can't fly.
However, sometimes people can't sleep just because they want to. Not long after he lay down, he smelled a burning smell.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Yao Ling.
If it hadn't knocked a small hole in the glass and the night wind hadn't come in through the hole, He Junxia might not have been able to smell the odor.
He immediately stood up, opened the curtains and looked out the window. A faint firelight flickered in the room on the second floor of the fourth building next door, which was not conspicuous in the gloomy world.
But fire is fire. Once the wind blows and the fire gets stronger, it will inevitably engulf the entire building. By then, it will be too late to escape.
"Everyone in Building 4, there's a fire on the second floor. Don't sleep and get downstairs quickly."
"Everyone in Building 4, there's a fire on the second floor. Get down quickly, don't sleep."
"Everyone in Building 4, there's a fire on the second floor. Don't sleep and get downstairs quickly."
He Junxia shouted three times in a row, and the voice-activated lights in the community lit up at once. Light sleepers and night owls who were still awake all looked out to check what was going on.
It's broken and it's really on fire.
Some people were busy escaping, some were busy calling 120, and some fools just looked at the small fire on the second floor and didn't intend to take any action.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
"Gengzi, there's a fire next door. Let's pack up and get out quickly."
Zhang Le knocked on the bedroom door anxiously.
He was a night owl and was used to going to bed at one or two in the middle of the night. He was still alert and jumped out of bed the moment he heard the fire outside.
In fact, if it wasn't Building 4 that caught fire, Zhang Le wouldn't be so nervous. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the developer of the community. He used all means to save money by building an extra building.
The distance between buildings is so narrow that only one adult can pass through normally. Under the compression of external anti-theft windows, the space is almost non-existent.
There are also careless old men and women who pile up miscellaneous items in the passage, and they will definitely burn anyone.
With four buildings on fire, it was impossible to escape from the fifth.
He Junxia opened the door carrying a few packages. Zhang Le was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I'll go get the emergency kit too."
The two of them rushed out the door quickly carrying large and small bags. They lived on the first floor and were almost the first people to run out of the entire community.
"You stay here, I'll go take a look."
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
He Junxia ran towards Building 4 with a small fire extinguisher, but the fire spread quickly. In less than two minutes, the small flames in Building 4 were already burning fiercely.
Thick smoke poured out, and fire broke out on the third floor, even the miscellaneous items piled between the buildings were affected.
Zhang Le couldn't help but reveal a mask of pain.
Damn, his house, the food they stored in the cupboard will not be burned too.
Even though he had guessed this possibility, Zhang Le still collapsed and wanted to die, and hated the family who caused the fire.
What are you doing!
I didn’t even know my house was on fire!
However, complaining could not change any facts, and Zhang Le, who was mentally devastated, could only pin his hopes on the firefighters.
“Crackle…”
A burnt electric wire fell from the sky with sparks and lightning. Fortunately, He Junxia reacted in time and took a few steps back to avoid being hit by the wire.
This is the disadvantage of low-rise old communities.
The dense network of wires is tangled like a spider web, with illegal connections being a serious problem. Some of the wires have been in use for more than a decade and are already overwhelmed.
No, it's too late.
He Junxia turned and ran towards the main switch, cutting off the power to Building 4 first.
By the time he turned off the main power switch of Building 4 and ran back, the horrific fire had already engulfed the fourth and fifth floors. People who didn't have time to go downstairs could only call for help below in panic.
But with the fire so fierce, who would dare to rush in to save people?
I'm afraid I'll get into trouble too.
Zhang Le no longer had time to feel sorry for the stockpiled goods at home. Listening to the cries and shouts for help from the children on the fourth floor, he felt extremely sad.
Why did it catch fire out of nowhere?
He Junxia, who had just put out the fire in the corridor between buildings four and five with a dry powder fire extinguisher, heard a cry for help from upstairs and suddenly remembered something.
Because the buildings are very close to each other, the rooftop terrace is also very close, less than one meter away. It is no exaggeration to say that you can jump over it.
"Don't stay at home, the fire is burning too fast, go to the rooftop, hurry up and get to the rooftop."
He Junxia screamed downstairs in Building 4, and the others who heard her quickly joined in. Together, they carried the sound upwards, and the residents on the upper floors, who had lost their minds due to panic and fear, gradually calmed down.
After a while, several dusty-looking people appeared on the rooftop and waved for help.
He Junxia shouted again: "Who will go with me to the rooftop of Building 3 to rescue them? We can bring them over here."
There is always someone willing to step forward at critical moments. When He Junxia went to the passage to put out the fire, many people came with buckets of water to help.
Before he finished speaking, a group of people responded.
He Junxia fished the rope out of his emergency kit. He had bought a standard lifeline from a major brand, with a steel core, thickened for wear resistance, and capable of bearing thousands of kilograms of tension.
"Come on, let's go upstairs."
A group of people went upstairs in a large group, and Zhang Le followed them without hesitation.
However, the rooftop was empty, with some plastic debris and foam boxes piled up, and nothing to serve as a fulcrum for the rope.
He Junxia turned his gaze and looked at the largest boy in the crowd.
"Handsome boy, can I tie one end of the rope around you?"
"no problem."
The boy agreed without hesitation.
While everyone was talking, the sudden fire almost engulfed the entire building, and even the wooden door leading to the rooftop was not spared.
The thick black smoke blocked most of the view, but fortunately the developer's previous clever operation allowed people on the two rooftops to see each other clearly.
He Junxia tied one end of the rope around the boy, and asked several people to hold on to him. At the same time, he threw the other end to the rooftop opposite. Immediately, several hands grabbed hold of this life-saving straw.
"Don't worry, there's still time. Let the kids come over first, and the rest of you clean up the clutter on the rooftop."
Gradually, several hands holding the rope loosened, leaving only two people with children.
The rope was long enough for them to tie the child up three times on the left and three times on the right to ensure that he was safe and would not get loose.
The petite woman lifted the fat boy in her arms and pushed him forward. The child, who was tied up, had tears in his eyes.
"Uncle, aunt, you must catch me. I'm scared. I don't want to die."
"Don't worry, kid, we'll all be fine."
Seeing this, other people who were waiting for rescue also stepped forward and helped the little boy's mother to send the child out.
"I caught you. Good, good, good."
The two groups successfully completed the handover in the air, and the little boy landed safely. He Junxia quickly untied the rope on him and threw him back.
One, two, three...
With everyone's concerted efforts, only the last heavyweight was left on the rooftop.
The boy looked down at his huge body and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, leave me alone. If I had known earlier, he would not have been a fat otaku and would have gone to the gym he signed up for to exercise every day.
"Brother, what are you talking about!"
"Come, come, let me show you our strength."
When rescuing other adults previously, he was enthusiastic in helping and put in a lot of effort, and everyone saw it.
He Junxia also said: "Handsome guy, don't worry, my rope is a professional life rope, it can pull a thousand pounds of things without any problem."
The boy, who was comforted by everyone, had tears in his eyes. He wiped his nose, picked up the rope and tied it around his body, then carefully climbed over the guardrail - there was a platform about 30 centimeters wide outside the rooftop guardrail for people to stand on.
He Junxia: "Don't move your body yet. Stretch out your hands. We will come and catch you."
The bony and blood-marked hand tightly grasped the boy's wrist. The contrast between thin and fat was particularly striking at this moment, and the onlookers were extremely worried.
Can you catch it?
Of course!
One of the protagonists, the boy, clearly felt a huge force coming and tightly grasping his wrist.
Immediately afterwards, countless hands reached out.
They grabbed his hands, his clothes, his pants, his legs, and successfully pulled him onto another rooftop.
"Wuwuwuwu... I must lose weight in the future... Wuwuwuwu..."
The moment his feet successfully touched the ground, the boy, who had been reborn, burst into tears and couldn't even stand up.
No one laughed at him.
If they were in this situation, their reaction after being rescued would not be much better than that of boys.
"But brother, you should lose some weight. Too much fat is not good for your health."
"Haha, remember to use your gym membership card, don't waste it. But for a large base of weight loss, I recommend swimming."
A group of people were chatting and laughing on the rooftop, their hearts filled with pride after saving someone, and some even gave He Junxia a thumbs up.
"You young people are really smart!"
Otherwise, with the current fire, at least several people would have been burned to death. It's not like now where we just have to wait for the fire truck to come and put out the fire.
"Oh, right? Didn't someone call 119 a long time ago? Why hasn't the fire truck arrived yet?"
"Only eight minutes had passed, and the fire truck couldn't fly, so how could it have been so fast?"
"8 minutes? No way, it feels like half an hour has already passed."
Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears
The fire truck finally showed up with its sirens blaring.
People on the rooftop came down one after another. Zhang Le, who was walking in front, looked at the empty ground, searched for a long time, asked for a long time, and finally uttered a curse.
"Fuck you."
"Who stole my bag? Do you want to die?"
"We are up there rescuing people, and you are down there stealing things. Don't you think you can survive?"
"I'll interrupt you if I catch you."
