Chapter 61
The major fire at the Yu Nan Building has drawn considerable attention from all parties involved.
All parties quickly dispatched personnel to provide rescue and treatment.
The fire was raging and there was no way to control it; the faces of those around were filled with solemnity.
Suddenly, good news came from the firefighting team on the first floor to the west.
Yang Zhengyong's expression eased as he saw that he had finally broken through a corner, but before he could catch his breath, another big problem arose.
The rescue workers who had just gone in couldn't get out!
"What happened?"
Wang Yi, who was in charge of directing the work, was also dumbfounded by the situation. He was unfamiliar with the Guiyuan Holy Sect and looked at Yang Zhengyong, noticing that he showed no surprise on his face.
This is by no means the first time I've encountered this situation.
Yang Zhengyong: "This incident involves a cult; the rest will be kept confidential..."
Before he could finish speaking, the firefighters on the back of the first floor, without the slightest hesitation, grabbed bags of supplies and rushed inside, one after another…
Knowing full well that there was no way out!
They went inside anyway.
Neither of them took their eyes off the scene. Upon seeing this, Yang Zhengyong closed his eyes in sorrow, clenching his fist tightly on the table until he felt the pain before releasing it.
Wang Yi gritted his teeth and gave the order: "Don't let the online spread go erratically for now."
"We will do everything in our power to ensure the safety of the people inside the building."
After giving his instructions, he turned to Yang Zhengyong and asked, "Do we have anyone here?"
This person, as the name suggests, is a practitioner of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect. Yang Zhengyong immediately replied:
"Yes, it's on its way."
Wang Yi, who had been under immense pressure, finally felt a little relieved.
At least we're not completely helpless.
"Is the phone call going through?"
Yang Zhengyong: "I'm afraid that won't work; they'll fly over."
As it flew over, Wang Yi nodded.
Wait...fly!
His eyes widened: "Flying over from the sky without any tools!"
"Um."
Wang Yi's brain received so many new changes in a short period of time that it almost stopped working.
He said irritably, "Remember to emphasize the key points next time."
"Okay."
While the fire was spreading, a rescue air cushion was quickly set up outside as the fire subsided.
Firefighters went up to receive the people coming down, and the teacher on the third floor saw the rescue and immediately opened the window, pulling the children one by one to the window. She picked up a child and was about to hand him to the firefighters, but the firefighters couldn't pull the child out of the window no matter what they did.
Firefighter:
He straightened up and found nothing blocking his way.
What the hell?
The firefighters were inwardly screaming that something was wrong. They refused to believe it and tried several more times, with both sides taking turns to jump down, but to no avail.
Time passed second by second.
The temperature in the room kept rising, and many children could no longer bear it and lay weakly on their desks. The teacher next to them kept splashing cold water on their bodies to wipe them down.
"Teacher, it's so hot..."
"I want to go home... Waaah..."
A child cried out because of the tense atmosphere. Before the teacher could go over, a little girl who was washing a towel in a basin of water stood up.
She walked up to the boy, who was crying his eyes out, and shouted domineeringly, "Stop crying."
"Waaah..." The little boy ignored her and continued to cry.
"I told you to stop crying!"
Yu Aibao pulled up a stool, stood on it, put her hands on her hips, and gave orders from her elevated position.
The little girl exuded an aura of power that instantly silenced the little boy, who held back his tears silently.
"Are you still crying? Say something, it's impolite of me not to answer."
The little boy sobbed a few times, looking aggrieved, and said, "Don't cry anymore."
Seeing this, Yu Aibao got off the stool, walked to the boy's side, and patted his head, just like an adult comforting a kindergarten child. This made the second-grade boy, who was very concerned about his image, instantly become shy and embarrassed.
"Sorry, hiccup... I'm not... crying anymore."
"That's great."
The teacher behind them was secretly watching this side.
Seeing that Yu Aibao had managed to calm the crying classmate, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the beads of sweat constantly dripping from the children's faces, she quickened her wiping motion, but no matter how fast she moved, she couldn't stop the temperature from soaring. The more she wiped, the more anxious she became.
After telling the police everything that had happened in the past few days, Liu Yunqing followed behind, holding the child, and shouted, "It's no use, you can't save us."
The newly arrived firefighter was a young man in his early twenties. He stubbornly refused to let go, saying, "Comrade, don't be afraid, we will do our best to get you out."
This serious and responsible attitude.
Yet, this young man, barely an adult, already possessed such awareness. Liu Yunqing's face flushed, and he felt restless, realizing he was a fool for going astray and implicating everyone else.
"Comrade, let's try again."
Young people are choosing to try again.
Liu Yunqing knew it was futile, but still tried her best to cooperate, clinging to a sliver of a desire to atone for her sins.
On the command center screen, the two looked at the firefighters who were preparing to come out to get equipment, but the people outside couldn't be pulled out no matter what they did. They then turned to the firefighters who were still struggling to pull the child out.
The building seemed to be shrouded by something unseen, allowing only those outside to enter but preventing anyone from leaving.
In an instant, a shadow fell over the hearts of everyone present.
"Report!"
"Enter!"
Wang Yi's eyes lit up when he saw the newcomer. "What new discoveries have you made in the building?"
"Boss, I found the suspect Liu Yunqing on the third floor."
Yang Zhengyong was familiar with the name and snorted coldly, "It really is this group of people."
Yang Lanling entered without delay and gave a concise report: "According to Liu Yunqing, the cult contact on the third floor, they intentionally piled up flammable and explosive materials on each floor before the incident. More importantly, his wife, Li Fang, was transferred to another location to carry out a mission."
"It may be related to the obstacles that prevent people from entering or leaving the building."
"This is tantamount to me just sitting here and watching the people inside the building die! It's outrageous! Such blatant disregard for human life and the law! What do they think this is? We absolutely must pursue this to the end and have zero tolerance for them!"
In the command center, Wang Yi was extremely agitated.
"Old Yang, when is that guy arriving?"
Yang Zhengyong kept dialing the phone until he received a message, at which point a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
"They're here, they're here."
...
"My child is still inside?"
“Niu Niu…”
"My God, what a huge fire!"
"Oh dear, what a tragedy, there are so many children inside."
"..."
"Back off! Back off!"
"It's dangerous inside!"
"Trust us, we will definitely bring them all out."
"Waaah..."
Outside the police cordon, a group of parents, having received the news, tried to break through the checkpoint and rush into the building. After being stopped, they continued to cry and shout.
The crowd that was slowly gathering around them was then dispersed by staff.
Several fire ladders were set up in different areas of the building, and high-pressure water cannons were constantly spraying water to help those going inside.
For angles that the ladder could not reach, firefighting drones were deployed to suppress the fire source, which was difficult to access.
Command
"Even the drones can't get out." Wang Yi was so angry that he paced around the room.
The situation inside is not optimistic!
As the fire subsided, Yang Zhengyong looked worried, watching the continuous stream of rescuers entering the building on the screen, and a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
They couldn't guarantee their safe return.
The two stared at the screen in silence for a moment.
Suddenly, a gust of wind inexplicably swept through the command room, right under the noses of Yang Zhengyong and Wang Yi in the open space in the middle.
A gust of wind from the landing stirred up the messy documents on the table, causing papers to flutter and the visitor gradually revealed himself.
Before them stood a tall man and a petite woman, a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom and a little girl with an innocent, childlike appearance.
Wang Yi pushed aside the obstructive, tall, overweight middle-aged man, his gaze fixed on what lay ahead, his pupils dilated with shock and ecstasy.
this……
Could this be the help Old Yang mentioned?
His entrance was indeed extraordinary.
Yang Zhengyong concealed the surprise in his eyes, pushed Wang Yi, who was in his way, aside, and strode forward.
"Master Jin, Master Yun, you've finally arrived."
As the golden jasmine shone in the lingering breeze, it met the intense gazes of the two people inside the room, its large eyes meeting theirs without fear.
Yun Qingzi nodded: "Now, could you please tell me what the situation is?"
Wang Yi stepped forward and said, "It's like this: someone deliberately piled up flammable and explosive materials inside the building, causing multiple fires. The fires are very large, and most importantly, our rescue personnel cannot get out of the building after they go in."
"Whether it's the people inside the building or those of us who went in, without exception." The words were heavy, and Jin Moli, who was listening nearby, tensed up, her face serious.
"Based on the information we've received," Wang Yi said, pulling out the building's master plan and pointing to a spot, his tone grave, "there's a very serious problem in the basement on the south side of the building. Our people can't get in, and we don't yet know what's inside. It might be the cult's stronghold."
Yun Qingzi nodded. Without saying a word, he took out an old compass from his pocket. The three people beside him were puzzled, seeing that he only tapped the compass a few times.
The old Taoist's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Danger!"
"What!"
Thinking of all the people in the building, Wang Yi immediately rushed over.
"Master, what have you calculated?" His voice trembled slightly. A human life is not just a black and white word, but a family.
"The breakthrough lies in the south basement; now is the best time."
After saying that, Yun Qingzi looked at his young senior sister with a solemn expression. He didn't want Jin Moli to go, as it involved scenes that were not suitable for children, but she was the strongest, and there was no one else who could do it.
Jin Moli tilted her head, seemingly waiting for his instructions.
"Junior brother, hurry."
Yun Qingzi hardened her heart: "Senior sister, you go to the south, I'll go to the building to put out the fire and rescue people."
"Master, what are the arrangements? How do we need to cooperate?" As the person in charge, Wang Yi fully cooperated with Yun Qingzi and listened to his instructions.
Yun Qingzi said indifferently, "Have someone follow me."
He came to the place where the fire was directly in front of him.
"quick."
Jin Moli turned around immediately and, without needing her junior brother to urge her, used her Wind Control Technique to head straight for the basement.
Wang Yi immediately arranged for people to follow.
Meanwhile, in the backyard of Linxi Cave Lingjia
Lingxi lay on the white clouds, facing a water mirror about the height of a wall, and the image on the water mirror was the Yu Nan Building.
“Jasmine currently has the highest cultivation level, so Qingzi’s arrangement makes sense.”
Lingxi frowned: "You said that person is in S City, and he's in charge of this matter?"
Standing quietly in the courtyard, his eyes never leaving the water mirror, he thought, "It doesn't seem like it. Such a crude method would be an insult to him. It must be related to his subordinates."
"Are Jasmine and the others alright?"
Su Yuan's tone remained calm: "He won't make a move as long as we don't show up."
"real"
She was restless, especially since Jasmine was a child who had never experienced hardship.
“In his eyes, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage are nothing more than ants in our eyes.”
He chuckled lightly: "Right now, they're nothing more than ants that you can barely glance at."
"Hmph..." The rooftop not far from the Yu Nan Building.
A man in white stood with his hands clasped, watching the woman flying towards him from afar.
He sneered, "Just a mere ant in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, Su Yuan, you are truly foolish."
"The spiritual power was given to the mortals of this world for nothing."
It seems he won't have to wait long before he can collect the body.
"Hahahaha..."
