Chapter 52: Thick Smoke
Chen Ao was in the office, looking at the rising data in Chu Qiao's live broadcast room and nodded frequently.
"This girl is really good. Now the traffic of her live broadcast room has reached nearly 100,000."
Liang Xiaosheng stood aside, twisting his fingers, and spoke cautiously, "Mr. Chen, many elderly people say that Chu Qiao has suppressed them too much in the reward rankings."
Chen Ao glanced at his assistant and asked, "So what?"
Liang Xiaosheng considered it and said, "Why don't we do it internally." In the past, the platform would do some tricks behind the scenes to specifically promote some signed anchors.
Chen Ao: "That's not necessary. Other anchors also want this kind of special treatment. Then come up with something new and show me."
Liang Xiaosheng was about to speak when Chen Ao waved his hand.
Liang Xiaosheng walked out dejectedly.
As soon as he got out, he went to the rooftop and hid in a corner to make a phone call.
"Hey, Lori, I tried my best."
"I can't do anything about it. Mr. Chen's words are final, and you know that."
"Why don't you try it yourself."
I don’t know what was said on the other end. Liang Xiaosheng hung up the phone, sighed, and muttered softly: This great god, Xiaosheng, potential stock, it’s really hard to serve any of them.
The person who was talking to Liang Xiaosheng was the popular beauty anchor, Little Lolita behind the makeup.
At this time, the little Lolita, who was wearing makeup, was looking at her phone hatefully and biting her back teeth.
"Bang--" She threw the phone hard onto the pink table full of cosmetics.
The little girl with delicate eye makeup squinted her eyes and said fiercely, "I want to see what's so special about Chu Qiao that makes Mr. Chen protect her so much."
After she finished speaking, she quickly changed her account and entered the live broadcast room. Before she started to provoke, the room suddenly went dark. The little Loli with makeup on only saw Chu Qiao's back.
A loud noise was heard in the live broadcast room.
It also got into the ears of the little Lolita with headphones after makeup, and she was so scared that she turned off the live broadcast room directly. She touched her heart and cursed Chu Qiao in her heart, wondering what kind of nonsense he was broadcasting live.
In fact, it was not that Chu Qiao turned off the live broadcast room, but as soon as Chu Qiao landed, thick smoke appeared in the sky. The gray-black smoke completely blocked the camera, and drones were buzzing around, looking for the host.
Accompanied by a loud noise, Chu Qiao vaguely saw a big tree falling in the smoke.
The smoke irritated Chu Qiao and made it difficult for her to breathe. She covered her mouth and nose and said quickly in a muffled voice, "I'm here."
The drone then approached Chu Qiao, but even so, the people in the live broadcast room could only vaguely see Chu Qiao's shadow.
Chu Qiao looked at the direction where the thick smoke was coming from, which was exactly the direction she wanted to go out.
"Wu-hmm-wu-hmm-"
A low alarm sounded.
"Master Chu, what's going on? Is there an alarm?"
"It's the firefighters."
Chu Qiao took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "There's a fire ahead. Judging from the smoke, the fire is quite large. The destination ahead is where I'm going to finish my mission."
The entire live broadcast room was silent and no one knew what to do.
After a while, Chen Ao said, "Chu Qiao, run up the mountain."
"Yes, yes, run up the mountain."
"Don't hesitate, your life is at stake."
Everyone was trying to persuade her, but Chu Qiao immediately interrupted everyone's suggestions.
"When a fire breaks out, you must not escape toward the top of the mountain. As the smoke rises, the fire spreads faster toward the top of the mountain. If you encounter this situation, you must go down or sideways in the direction against the wind."
"Then Master Chu, hurry up and leave."
"Master Chu, we can hardly see you anymore. The fire must be quite big."
"Run away!"
Chu Qiao was unwilling to give up. If she changed her route, she would not be able to complete the mission. She felt the colorful Beidou coins slipping away from her. Chu Qiao gritted her teeth and said:
"I'll take a closer look. Don't worry, if the fire is too big, I won't go there on my own."
As he spoke, Chu Qiao took a knife and cut off a large strip of the underwear he was wearing, and poured the remaining half pot of water in the kettle onto the cloth.
She covered her mouth and nose and slowly approached the thick smoke. Chu Qiao's figure became more and more blurred until she disappeared in the smoke. The only sound in the entire live broadcast room was her heavy breathing.
Chu Qiao is not a reckless person. She has participated in many firefighting operations on Mars.
She made this choice for money.
Second, she knew very well that forest fires were not just about burning a few trees. They also burned trees and understory plant resources. Once the quality of forest vegetation and forest stands was destroyed, the entire forest ecosystem would be damaged.
Destroying wildlife habitats means destroying biological diversity, and will also cause soil erosion, triggering natural disasters such as mountain torrents, landslides, and mud-rock flows.
Chu Qiao walked in the thick smoke. The choking smoke kept pouring into her nasal cavity, putting more and more burden on her respiratory tract, and her breathing became louder and louder.
As she got closer to the fire, Chu Qiao felt more and more burning heat around her body. She felt like she had entered a furnace, and even her internal organs were being roasted.
Chu Qiao's head and body were covered with a layer of gray smoke. Even her eyelashes became thick, and her eyes were so smoked that she could hardly open them.
The flames spread rapidly towards Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao originally planned that if the fire was under her control, she would burn a circle of grass around the fire to create a firebreak.
In this way, the fire will spread to the fire line and will not be able to spread further.
But she obviously underestimated the intensity of the fire, and the red light illuminated the entire sky in the west.
Chu Qiao quietly planned a way out. Although she was Chu Dabing, in her heart, life was more valuable.
Chu Qiao reluctantly spoke to the drone: "I'm going back. No, the fire is too strong. Cough - cough cough -"
"Master Chu, we are waiting for your news."
"Little Chicken gave the anchor a big reward of 500 bottles of Coke - Master Chu, I haven't teased you enough yet, come back quickly."
Chu Qiao was unable to speak at this time, and his head felt dizzy.
She staggered, turned around, and ran in the direction she came from.
“Ouch—”
“Ouch—”
What sound? Chu Qiao heard the sound from the scene faster than the people in the live broadcast room.
It's a wolf. Judging from the sound, it's not a big wolf.
"Master Chu, run, there are wolves."
"What kind of fate is this, Master Chu? He encountered fire and wolves at the same time."
"Master Chu's poisonous milk."
"Don't joke, Master Chu is in danger."
Chu Qiao stopped and listened carefully to the voice, which became more and more familiar the more he listened.
The people in the live broadcast room finally caught a glimpse of Chu Qiao's shadow, but he just turned around and walked back into the smoke.
"Why did Master Chu go in again?"
"Don't you want to die?"
"Is it survival in the wilderness or death in the wilderness?"
Chu Qiao had no time to explain and couldn't even open his mouth.
She kept coughing, but still followed the sound to search.
"Awoo—" The sound became louder and louder, and Chu Qiao could feel that the sound was getting closer.
