After speeding non-stop to the outside of the old city, Si Ze looked at the black fog and smoke filling the sky and the raging fire of Taotie. His hands holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened, as if a heavy hammer hit his heart, causing him to suffocate in pain.
The entire community has been set up with an alarm line, and all vehicles and personnel are not allowed to enter to prevent accidents. Si Ze's eyes flashed, he stepped on the brakes, and with a drift, the car stopped accurately one centimeter away from the alarm line.
As soon as the car stopped, A Biao stood outside the window, lowering his head in self-blame. His black clothes were tattered, his face was covered with carbon black stains, and his arms had several burns. He looked very embarrassed.
Si Ze quickly got out of the car and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Where's Mo Mo?"
"Boss Si, I'm sorry, Young Madam..."
"Lead the way." Before A Biao could finish speaking, Si Ze interrupted him coldly.
People have entered the cordon, and A Biao hurriedly followed, directing the route for Si Ze, and constantly reporting what happened this morning.
The old city area is not small. From the outermost layer to the deepest part of the alley, there are debris falling from the sky all the way, and the ground is in a mess. After passing through the obstacles, the deeper you go, the bigger the fire is and the higher the temperature is.
Under A Biao's guidance, the two came to the outside of the house where Yan Mo and the others had entered. They no longer felt the winter chill, the temperature was as high as forty plus, and there was a burning sensation.
Firefighters wearing flowing orange rescue suits and helmets were working around to save the house that had been burned beyond recognition.
Suddenly,
Someone saw Si Ze and the others, and a middle-aged firefighter shouted at the top of his voice: "Go quickly, it's dangerous here!"
Si Ze glanced at it but didn't ignore it. He turned to A Biao and asked coldly:
"Is this the place?"
"Yes, Mr. Si." A Biao nodded.
Without saying a word, Si Ze looked around, went to the side, pulled off the quilt cover that the residents had hung on the bamboo pole, ran to the foot of the house, put the quilt cover into the water tank to wet it, then soaked himself with water, put on the quilt cover, and rushed into the raging fire quickly.
"Boss Si, it's dangerous,"
Ah Biao shouted in horror, and tried to catch up, but was forced back by the fire.
As he was about to enter the stairwell, the middle-aged firefighter grabbed him and yelled, "You're crazy! I'm telling you, there's a lot of strong liquor in there. There's a high chance of a second fire. You can't go in there."
"I heard from your henchman that your friends were the first to go in. It's been a long time since then. Even if you rescue them now, they're gone. You can't be so stupid. It's too dangerous in there. Besides, after our testing, there are no living organisms in there."
"Impossible." Si Ze's eyes instantly turned red. He glared at the middle-aged man who spoke, pushed him away with a palm, and said hoarsely: "Even if she doesn't, I will take her home."
Having said that, without waiting for the middle-aged man to react, he snatched the fire axe from the middle-aged firefighter's hand, quickly stepped onto the stairs and went upstairs.
"Madman." The middle-aged firefighter cursed and ignored Si Ze. He continued to clear flammable items and cut off the fire.
After a while, another figure ran out from outside the cordon and rushed in desperately.
"Hey, young man, don't be impulsive. Don't risk your life." The middle-aged firefighter shouted. Before he could stop him, the figure ran into the house like a gust of wind and disappeared.
"What happened today? Usually, when we see this kind of situation, we all run outside, but today, everyone ran inside without caring about their lives." The middle-aged firefighter muttered and quickly contacted the rescue team.
On this side, Si Ze went up to the second floor and went straight to the place where Yan Mo and the others were, which A Biao had mentioned just now.
Unfortunately, when he reached the second floor, he was blocked by an iron security door. The door was locked from the outside with a large iron chain, and the wooden door inside was already on fire.
Si Ze's heart continued to sink.
When Mr. Si saw this, Gu Zhengshan, who had just come up, also had red eyes and asked in disbelief, "Are they in there?"
It was locked from the outside, so there was no possibility for the people inside to escape. The fire in the house was the most serious in the entire house. If there were still people inside, there was not even a one in ten thousand chance of escape.
Si Ze's face looked grim. He did not answer Gu Zhengshan's words. He raised the axe in his hand and chopped at the iron chain lock. With a "swish", the iron chain broke into two pieces.
"You go down. The fire inside is too big and too dangerous. If they are in there, I will bring them out." Si Ze said to Gu Zhengshan, kicked open the door that was burned into ruins, and walked in.
Gu Zhengshan knew that his presence would only distract Si Ze. Si Ze had been in the army for many years, and they all knew his abilities. He was just an ordinary person and could not help at all. In order not to increase Si Ze's burden, he turned around and quickly went downstairs and retreated.
"Mo Mo, are you there?" Si Ze shouted anxiously. He entered the house, but a large amount of smoke obscured his vision. He endured the discomfort in his eyes and quickly searched the living room, but saw no one.
I felt relieved immediately.
It’s good that he’s not there. Then his heart started to lift again. He nimbly avoided the things falling from the roof and walked towards the room step by step with heavy steps.
Si Ze came to the door of the room and looked around. It was already after the fire. Although the brick and stone walls were preserved, they were burned black by the fire. The original appearance of the room could not be seen. The bed, wardrobe, and all the wooden and flammable items in the room were all turned into debris on the ground.
When his sight fell on the direction of the bed, Si Ze's pupils shrank and he took a step back abruptly.
The world stopped. He forgot where he was, forgot the burning pain of the high temperature burning his skin, forgot the stinging in his eyes. All he could see was the pink piece of clothing in the ruins. He recognized it. It was the clothes he gave her in Xinjiang City.
Picking up the piece of clothing, Si Ze gently blew away the dust on it, closed his eyes in grief, and big tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
for a long time.
Si Ze finally found his voice, held up the corner of his clothes with both hands, kissed it, and said with a smile:
"Momo, I'll take you home." After saying that, he squatted down, and with his bare hands, he dug away the hot debris on the ground bit by bit until a pile of white ash was revealed. The only hope left in Si Ze's heart disappeared completely.
He really lost her forever.
Just then.
The calls of the rescue team and the sound of fire-fighting water guns were heard outside the door.
In the blink of an eye, the fire in the whole house was extinguished and a rescue team came in.
The leading man spoke first:
"Boss Si, please leave quickly. It's very dangerous here."
Si Ze turned a deaf ear and continued squatting there with his head lowered. He used his scarred hands to put the white ash into the jar handful by handful. From time to time, drops of tears fell, wetting the white ash. An indescribable sadness spread in the air.
The bodyguards who had just walked in had never seen Si Ze so careful, caring, and gentle.
A Biao pushed through the crowd and walked inside.
With a "bang", A Biao knelt heavily in front of Si Ze without saying a word.
