Chapter 521 Beginning of Autumn Crisis (6)
There will still be fires in the next five days. If we dig an underground canal and introduce water, will it be necessary to install automatic sprinklers to put out the fire in advance? ?
After thinking about it, Qi Xuanze decided to discuss it with Shu Lingyi and other big guys tonight. If feasible, he would bring Honey Badger to work overtime tonight.
Yue Shengliang covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel. The fire lasted for a long time. Even if she had not been burned, she would have felt uncomfortable from breathing in the black smoke.
People lying on the ground for a long time will feel hungry and sleepy.
Just when everyone was in a daze, several big trees not far away fell down. Sanqi put away the axe and used a water gun to put out the fire on the trees.
After rushing through the trees, she rushed to Yue Shengliang and picked her up as she was about to faint: "Sadako?! Sadako, don't sleep, I'm coming."
"Ahem, it's Sanqi, ahem—"
Yue Shengliang felt uncomfortable in his lungs. He kept coughing whenever he spoke, and tears were about to come out.
Her eyes were fixed on Sanqi, whose hair was disheveled and beads of sweat covered his forehead, but there was an unknown anxiety on that heroic face.
The fires that were still burning elsewhere seemed to have given her a halo of god, coming to save her believers.
Thinking of this, Yue Shengliang smiled in relief, but tears fell involuntarily. He spoke with a tone of grievance: "Why did you come just now? I thought I was going to die here..."
"Stop talking, hold on, you have to wear the mask."
Seeing that Yue Shengliang still had time to "complain" her, Sanqi's anxiety was temporarily relieved a lot.
She put the gas mask on Yue Shengliang's face, then she carried Yue Shengliang on her back and quickly returned along the front path.
Players like Yue Shengliang who were just choked had mild symptoms because their lungs still felt a burning sensation due to the high temperature.
After being strengthened through so many solar terms, the player's body is no longer as fragile as it was at the beginning.
Inhaling some black smoke for a short period of time will not have much impact.
On the way back, Sanqi gave the gas mask to Yue Shengliang. After breathing the purified air for a while, Yue Shengliang's condition felt much better.
But other players didn't have it so easy. Some of them even cut down trees to create a relatively safe space for themselves.
Just like Yue Shengliang, he also put on fire-resistant clothing, but he did not wear a gas mask, and the thick smoke was constantly inhaled into his body.
Choking is the least of the problems. As time goes on, coupled with the difficulty in movement and the continued high temperature environment, the black smoke will slowly cause damage to the player's lungs, respiratory ducts and other parts of the body.
A middle-aged woman was in a very bad condition at this time. Her face turned red due to constant coughing. She wished she could strangle herself to death.
The feeling of burning in the trachea and lungs is really painful. I feel dizzy and my head is heaving. Even sending messages for help is becoming increasingly difficult.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Cough, cough, cough! Help, cough, help me, cough!"
"What, ahem, no one's here yet, ahem!"
In the merciless fire, there were countless coughs, calls for help, and wails.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the rescue operation was still going on.
As Shu Lingyi continued to move, he discovered another problem.
In this place, several red dots were separated from each other but not far apart. When Shu Lingyi and the others arrived here, the five scattered players had all died.
Zhong Qingwei went up and touched the carotid artery on each player's neck: "They are definitely dead. The health bars are all empty."
"But how come everyone here is dead?"
Shu Lingyi frowned and said, "The two people we just rescued weren't far from here, and their symptoms weren't very severe."
She thought about the difference between the players in the two places, probably that the players in the previous place covered their mouths and noses with wet towels.
The players here don't seem to be buying wet towels.
"Even if there wasn't a wet towel, he wouldn't have died immediately. This is too scary."
Others were also discussing that after the health bar was emptied, the corpse would not exist in the game for long.
They will also disappear, but this solar term seems to be an intentional torture, so the corpses remain a little longer.
As a result, Shu Ling and others witnessed with their own eyes the scene of life turning into stars and dissipating.
"Let's go to the next place. Someone is waiting for us." Shu Ling put away his emotions and waved his hand solemnly.
Of course, the others followed her and continued to move towards the red dot on the map that was closest to here.
Zhong Qingwei got relevant information from the player who was in charge of temporary treatment in the territory: "I just asked, and the two we rescued earlier haven't fully woken up yet."
"Jun Xiaogu said there were signs of mild poisoning."
Shu Ling understood immediately after hearing it. She glanced at some of the plants growing randomly around her, and found that they had lost their recognizable appearance under the burning flames.
"What are you doing?!" Shu Ling widened his eyes. Zhong Qingwei directly took off his gas mask!
The flames that covered the sky in the distance were reflected in the young man's pupils. His tall nose bridge twitched slightly, and he quickly put on the gas mask after seeming to confirm something.
"There should be oleander here. We are not affected because we are wearing gas masks."
"You are too reckless to do such a risky thing!"
Shu Ling and the others were all shocked by Zhong Qingwei's actions just now. Others thought that this big guy was really too cruel and too brave.
I wonder if they have the courage to test the poison on themselves.
"It's okay, it's just a little bit, the body will get rid of the poison by itself."
Shu Lingyi accepted this explanation and thought that oleander was a hero to her because the oleander she bought poisoned the brown bear to death.
I also got two golden treasure chests, one of which contained Tianzhu.
But no one expected that one day, the oleander would grow again and easily take away five lives.
Even more than that.
"We are not allowed to be so reckless next time. We must also protect our own safety."
I recalled Zhong Qingwei's action just now. It was like a big dog sniffing something tentatively, and then realizing that it couldn't smell the thing, it immediately stepped back and covered its mouth.
Although it's rough, it's kind of... weird? Cute.
"We are not sure how wide the oleander plant grows, so we can only save them one at a time."
Shu Ling sighed. On the public screen, [Falling Flowers, Flowing Water, Late Spring] was still selling gas masks, and each batch had to be snatched.
Fortunately, after this person came to the territory, Shu Lingyi could reap a small part of the profits, and then she would sell it.
Priority will be given to residents in their own territory, and whoever can be saved will be saved.
