Chapter 160 A glimmer of hope
The cemetery is full of people from all over the city who came spontaneously. The oldest member of this young team is the team leader Li Qiang, who is only 29 years old and just got married...
The youngest is only 19 years old and is the only child in the family...
Qin Ye just turned 26...
The entire cemetery was filled with mournful cries and sobs, which made it hard to listen or look.
Someone noticed a special presence in the crowd, a young girl in a white dress, with long black hair draped softly behind her shoulders, standing in the crowd with a bunch of lilies in her arms, her face very calm, looking out of place in such a sad occasion;
She looked at the familiar face on the screen with deep affection...
The calmer you are, the more immeasurable the pain is. Losing your loved one is not a temporary thunderstorm, but a lifetime of dampness...
On the same day a year later, she was found lying on her bed at home. The deep wounds on her wrists showed her determination to die, not giving anyone a chance to save her.
With a smile on her face, at the last moment of despair and pain, she saw the boy who loved her so much coming to pick her up...
Qin Ye suddenly opened his eyes and regained consciousness a little too quickly. He was breathing rapidly and standing unsteadily, a little shaky. A pair of soft and boneless hands immediately supported him.
He saw the pair of white and tender hands on his arms, and meeting Tang Lin's worried eyes, he hugged Tang Lin tightly, regaining what he had lost.
The scene in the dream was so real that he could feel the intense pain of the flames engulfing him.
Tang Lin felt his frantic heartbeat and touched his back soothingly;
"Okay, it's alright..."
A hot tear unexpectedly fell on her shoulder. Tang Lin's heart burned. She left Qin Ye's embrace and stared at the big boy in front of her with red eyes.
From his eyes...
I saw reluctance and... determination;
Tang Lin smiled bitterly, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you!"
Everything in the dream only lasts two minutes in reality;
"Have you... made up your mind?"
Hearing Bai Youyou's voice, Qin Ye sniffed, thinking about everything he was about to experience tonight, and thinking about his companions who had sacrificed their lives;
"Master, is there any way to save them?"
He still held out a glimmer of hope;
Bai Youyou tilted his head and said, "If you don't go, none of you will be sacrificed;"
Qin Ye frowned. "Our duty is ours. If we cannot avoid it, then that is our fate."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"The day I became a firefighter, I had already put my own life and death aside."
He held Tang Lin's hand tightly, and thinking of her final outcome, he felt extremely heartbroken. If he could save someone, he hoped to save Lin Lin;
He looked at Bai Youyou pleadingly, and Bai Youyou could certainly see what he was thinking;
They still had fifteen minutes to receive the call...
When they received the alarm, sparks had already appeared. Because there were too many trees in the forest and the wind was uncontrolled, the fire spread too quickly. Even if the nearest fire station rushed over, it would take more than ten minutes.
If we could help them buy a few more minutes, and rush over now, saving a few more minutes, the fire might not have completely burned up yet, and perhaps we can still control it!
Bai Youyou made a decision right then;
He walked aside and dialed the fire number of Lucheng;
"Hello, I want to call the police!"
She pinpointed the exact location where the fire would occur;
Fires change rapidly, and controlling fires is a race against time. As long as they are aware of the fire in advance and respond to it before the fire spreads, they have a chance of 15 minutes.
The people in the live broadcast room heard Bai Youyou's faint voice, interpreting with great emotion;
This is the first time that everyone has seen Bai Youyou besides her aloof self;
Because her phone number was from Jiangcheng, but she called the fire department in Lucheng, the responding officer kept confirming with her;
Bai Youyou said anxiously and forbearingly;
"I'm a cleaner at Lucheng Wild Forest Park. Come quickly. Someone threw a cigarette butt here and it's burning."
She acted with passion and said it was extremely urgent. The police who received the call dared not neglect it and had to send out the police first...
Bai Youyou noticed the cause of the fire was smoking through Tang Lin's perspective when she saw the results of the investigation. It was just that the fire was too big and the person who threw the cigarette butt was never caught. It would have been easy to investigate during that time period, and the patrol staff were the most suspicious, but there was no evidence!
Afterwards, Qin Ye and Tang Lin heard the alarm bell of their fire station. They looked at each other, full of reluctance.
"Go ahead. I'll wait for you."
Qin Ye nodded and quickly ran into the door;
The rolling gate slowly opened, and fire trucks rushed out, lifting the hem of Tang Lin's white skirt...
Her knuckles started to turn white as she held the phone, and her eyes were filled with tears...
The people in the live broadcast room heard the fire truck sirens and began to worry about Qin Ye.
Sitting in the car, Qin Ye kept recalling the scene in his dream;
Since he knew what was going to happen, and with Master Bai's intervention, the police were dispatched in advance. Doesn't this mean that they have a chance to defeat this fire?
He looked at the time. It was about ten minutes earlier than in his dream. The fire was already out of control then, but it should still be in time now.
The mountain road was rugged and the fire truck bumped along the way and drove directly to the parking lot closest to the fire site. They could keenly smell the smell of burning in the air.
"Captain, we can't see any open fire, but after surveying the scene, we can't rule out the possibility of sparks. The wind direction is uncertain at the moment, and the fire may get out of control at any time!" The communicator's voice came from the walkie-talkie, with a hint of tension.
Qin Ye felt a little relieved, but the fire did not completely burn out. He quickly took action according to the location indicated in the dream.
The group was heading towards the middle of the mountain. He couldn't understand why the fire suddenly became so burnt that it couldn't be put out if it was like this at the beginning. Was it because of the wind?
As he walked, he observed the direction in which the grass on the roadside was blown by the wind. He was always alert. When he thought of the fire, he immediately reported it to the captain. He said that he had quickly cut a quarantine zone nearby with a fire axe.
It was because the fire was too intense before that we didn't have enough time to cut the isolation belt!
He was a veteran member of their detachment, with rich experience, and his words were insightful. Although Li Qiang felt that it was too early to cut the isolation belt since the fire source could not be seen yet, he thought that they were in the forest and the fire could change rapidly, so he agreed to his plan after a little consideration.
Qin Ye immediately marked out the area to be cut into the quarantine zone, and everyone immediately took action;
Li Qiang led another group of people and continued walking towards their destination.
Qin Ye was swinging the axe, reviewing everything in his mind. He now firmly believed in Bai Youyou's fortune-telling. He had previously laughed and said that his girlfriend was superstitious, but he never thought that there really was such an expert.
