As the situation escalated, news of this major event gradually spread to other states.
Anyone who witnessed the scene of flames obscuring the sky and felt the terrifying aftershocks of the two explosions transmitted through the screen felt their hearts in their throats.
Immediately, netizens flooded the comments section of the report.
May the living be blessed, and may the dead grieve!
Many people were worried about whether there would be a third explosion, and they forced their eyelids open, staring intently at the live broadcast camera.
Fortunately, no further explosions occurred.
Meanwhile, fire trucks continued to rush to the scene in an attempt to control the spread of the fire.
The authorities even mobilized firefighting helicopters from other cities to rush to this city shrouded in flames and dust.
One night passed.
The fire is still burning, but it is much smaller than it was last night, and it has obviously been brought under control.
After waking up, Lin Rui immediately searched for the latest news, since this matter was related to his hometown.
"I heard it was caused by a hazardous materials production accident."
"The explosion affected two nearby chemical companies, and some of the chemical raw materials have now flowed into the underground river."
"Doesn't that mean even getting water will become a problem?"
"Nonsense. Let's not even talk about whether it's clean after filtering. You'd be horrified to use it to wash dishes, let alone drink it."
…
After seeing these comments, Lin Rui hesitated for a moment, but still made a phone call to Lin Hui.
"Xiao Rui, is something the matter?"
The call was answered quickly, and Lin Hui sounded somewhat tired.
"Why don't you move in here for a while? I heard that water is not very convenient back in your hometown right now."
"That's a saying."
Lin Hui hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just mentioned to Yingping that I wanted to go out and avoid the situation. Everyone is feeling anxious right now."
"Then move here for now, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."
"Tell my third uncle to get ready and come over together later."
Lin Hui didn't mince words and immediately made the decision.
While packing her clothes, she informed her parents and her third uncle's family to get ready to leave.
Lin Rui then made a phone call to Li Donglai.
"You've really given me a tough challenge."
"I found out about what happened in your hometown last night, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."
"Sending a private plane to pick them up shouldn't be a problem, but there should be a no-fly zone over there, so we need to go and let them know."
"Wait me a moment."
After saying that, Li Donglai ended the call.
It was clear that the richest man in both China and Xia was extremely busy, so he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with Lin Rui.
Ten minutes later, Li Donglai sent Lin Rui a text message.
The general idea is to have his relative wait at Binjiang Airport an hour later.
After settling this matter, Lin Rui immediately began to think about how to arrange things for his relatives.
Fortunately, we own two large villas, which can temporarily house my uncle's and third uncle's families, so there's not much of a problem.
Of course, he reported this truthfully to Lin Changhe and Dong Juan after going downstairs.
The elderly couple were very pleased, after all, Lin Rui had been in poor health in the past, and the eldest and third sons' families had helped him a lot.
One must never forget one's roots.
Lin Rui didn't go to the company today; he stayed at home the whole time.
The elderly couple also took leave, waiting for their eldest and third sons' families.
"Isn't this Sister Niu?"
Dong Juan was scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) when she came across an interview.
In the footage, a middle-aged woman is seen crying her heart out outside the fire scene.
Lin Rui vaguely remembered the woman; she used to live near his home, but moved away a few years ago.
"I only found out this morning from my WeChat Moments that Sister Niu's son, Xiao Pan, went to work in the fire department a few years ago."
Lin Changhe sighed.
He didn't continue, but Lin Rui understood the implied meaning.
It seems that Brother Pan, the dark-skinned man I remember, may have already passed away during the rescue efforts in this major accident.
