Chapter 50

Ren Yu returns to the mall and sees that everyone is looking for Gog. "Are you sure there's no one in the equipment room?" he asked

"No, we've all looked for it."

"Who saw him last?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Sun said anxiously, "maybe... It's us."

"What about the alarm? Did his alarm go off?"

Each firefighter has an alarm that can detect whether the carrier falls. Once it falls for more than 20 seconds, it will sound a high decibel alarm. Although the scene environment is noisy, it is impossible to hear that sound.

"I didn't hear it."

Ren Yu was a little confused. How could a living man disappear out of thin air?! He took a deep breath: "let's go again. You, me and Gog were spraying water, and then changed to the next shift. Who's the next shift?"

"It's us." Liu Hui said, "the three of us."

"When we came out, Gog was behind us. Who saw him go?"

Liu Hui looked at each other: "it seems... I didn't see anyone."

"How could I not see it?" Sun Qingming roared, "it's such a small place, just a door. There's no one in it, and no one sees him coming out. Where can people go? Have they lost a mouse hole?"

"Oh!" A middle-aged man suddenly called out.

The soldiers looked at him in unison.

"There is really a hole in the equipment room!" He said anxiously, "it's reserved for checking underground hydropower equipment. It's usually covered with iron plate. The iron plate must have been baked."

Ren Yu said anxiously, "where is it? How deep is it?"

The man described the approximate location. Several people rushed in quickly. In order to avoid anyone falling down again, they tied a rope and the cat groped around. The fog was filled in the equipment room and the visibility was very low. The light above Ren Yu's head swept a dark shadow on the ground. He shook the rope and walked over. Sure enough, he found a hole. He shouted, "Gog! Gog!"

There was no response below, but a vague figure could be seen.

Ren Yi climbed down the ladder.

The smoke is lighter than the air, so when you go up, the smoke underground is not so thick. Ren Yu sees that Gao Ge's air bottle is hung on the ladder. People are half squatting, but they are unconscious. It is likely that they hit their head on the ladder when they fell down.

Ren Yi touched Gao Ge's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Gao Ge's empty breathing allowance. There was already a red light flashing, proving that the air content was very low.

Ren Xuan tied the rope buckle to Gao Ge's belt, pulled the rope, and the people above hung Gao Ge up.

Gog was carried outside and took off his mask. His skin was abnormally damp and red. His body was as wet as if it had been fished out of the water. He was sweating all over, and his breathing was short and difficult.

"Take off his clothes first. Has the ambulance come yet?" Ren asked.

"It should be here soon."

They took off Gog's heavy combat clothes, padded his neck and tried to let him breathe smoothly. His skin was hot, so they used water to cool him down.

Before the ambulance arrived, Gog regained a little consciousness and asked for water in a hoarse voice.

Ren Yu sat next to him, fed him some water and said with lingering fear, "brother, you scared me to death." If they found out a little late, the consequences would be unimaginable. How could he not be afraid.

There are all kinds of unexpected accidents in the fire. No matter how careful they are, they can't completely avoid them. It's really powerless.

"Here comes the ambulance."

Gog was taken to the ambulance, and the soldiers rushed back to continue the fire fighting.

They worked from noon to night for seven hours before putting out the fire. During this period, they went in to flush water and squatted on the roadside to eat lunch boxes. Everyone's air bottle was changed at least three times.

After the fire was put out, the soldiers were too tired to stand up. On the late autumn night of less than ten degrees, they didn't feel cold at all. The high-temperature steam in the equipment room seemed to penetrate into every pore of them, and it hasn't dissipated until now.

When returning to the squadron, Ren Yi asked the fire engine to make a detour and put himself and sun definition in Hongwu hospital.

Gog has just finished his examination and is resting in the ward. He has woken up with moderate concussion and varying degrees of scald. Although it is not serious, he still has to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days.

When he entered the ward, Gog was videotaping his wife and children. When he saw them coming, he turned his mobile phone: "daughter, this is uncle Ren and uncle sun. Say hello."

"Hello, uncle." Cried the little girl.

Ren Yi and sun Dingyi know his wife. Their mother and daughter are not in Beijing, but they have come to the squadron twice for the new year.

Gog talked to them and hung up: "is the fire out?"

"Can't we come over?" Sun Qingming wiped his dirty face. "Are you comfortable in the air-conditioned room?"

"It's comfortable." Gog winked and said, "I envy you."

Ren Yu smiled and scolded, "don't be poor. How do you feel now?"

"My body hurts and I'm a little dizzy, but it's no big deal." Gog didn't understand. "I don't know what happened now?"

"There used to be an access hole in the equipment room. There was a ladder down to the next floor. It was originally covered with an iron plate. As a result, the iron plate was baked."

"Shit..." Gao Ge sighed, "there's nothing in there."

"Yes, we've been looking for you for a long time, and people just disappeared out of thin air. If an electrician hadn't remembered..." Ren Yu said in a deep voice, "at that time, your empty call would be out of breath immediately. It's too fucking dangerous."

Gog deliberately laughed twice and comforted them: "if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing."

"We'll come and see you. If you're okay, we'll go back and have a rest for a few more days. Pick up your wife and children and get together."

Gog nodded, "my wife bought tomorrow's ticket."

They walked out of the ward. When Ren Yu turned around, he only felt a burning pain in his neck. He "hissed".

"What's the matter?"

"You help me look at my neck here."

Sun Qingming lifted Ren Yu's collar, frowned and said, "it's hot. Isn't your collar buttoned well?"

Ren Yu remembered that he had opened his collar to dissipate heat when he was outside. Later, he heard that Gao Ge was gone and hurried back. Where could he take care of this.

The neckline is where their protective clothing is weak. Although many protective measures have been taken, it is connected to the bare skin. The part above the neck can only be protected by the hat curtain. In any case, it is impossible to be impervious, so this is the place with the highest heat radiation.

Ren Yu's collar had not been glued well, so he was naturally scalded by high-temperature steam.

"Go and deal with it."

Ren Yu said, "I'll go myself. Go back to the squadron and have a good rest."

"It's still a while away. Let's go."

They found the nurse and took off their clothes. They saw several bright red blisters as big as quail eggs on their neck, and one was worn through the collar.

"Can't you feel it?" The nurse complained, "they are worn out and easy to be infected."

Ren Yu said with a bitter smile, "I was so hot just now. It hurts everywhere. I really didn't feel it."

The nurse began to treat Ren Yu's wound.

Sun Qingming watched the nurse prick a small mouth on the blister and flow out a large amount of tissue fluid. Ren Yu frowned, but didn't say a word. He couldn't see it anymore: "I'll get you some medicine."

"OK."

After a while, sun Qingming took the medicine back: "Ren team, I saw Dr. Gong."

Ren Yi suddenly raised his head: "where is it?"

The nurse's needle accidentally stabbed him on the back. He said "ouch", and the nurse pressed him: "don't move."

Ren Yi looked at sun's definition: "where is it? Is it right?"

"What's wrong with his immortal appearance? He's outside, like a prisoner." "I'll call him over," Sun said

"Hey, don't..." Ren Yi tried to stop sun Dingyi, but he turned and went out.

Although he wanted to see Gong Yingxian, he was dirty now. It was obviously not a good time to meet.

Soon, Gong Yingxian came in with sun Qingming. He was stunned when he saw Ren Yu. Ren Yu was wearing a blue shirt soaked with sweat, and the straps of his protective clothes and trousers were still hanging on his shoulders. His face and body were full of black soot. There was a red scar on his neck. The dirty appearance formed a huge contrast with the pure white clinic. He was tired and embarrassed for the rest of his life.

Gong Yingxian only felt that his heart was pulled hard. He hurried over and said, "you're hurt? What's wrong with your neck?"

Ren Yu said carelessly, "I just got out of the police. It's all right. I'm a little scalded."

Gong Yingxian looked at the blisters on Ren Yu's neck and frowned for a long time. Then he said, "it hurts."

"It's OK. The nurse sister is so gentle." Ren Yi blinked. "It's just blisters. They disappear in a few days."

After wiping the medicine, the nurse asked, "Captain Ren, there's no way for this broken one. The others must protect the skin, don't rub and don't touch water, so that the scar will fade quickly in the future."

"OK, thank you." Ren Yu stood up. "What are you doing in the hospital? Zhou Chuan?"

Gong Yingxian nodded and his eyes remained on Ren Yu's scald: "Zhou Chuan was discharged today."

"Great. I can finally lock up the grandson." Ren asked, "how are the others doing?"

"Great progress has been made." Gong Yingxian said, "I'll take you back to the squadron. I'll tell you when you're good."

"I'm just scalded. It doesn't affect anything."

"Let's go."

Ren Yu hesitated and said, "we are so dirty. How can we take your car?"

"I didn't drive. I came in a police car."

Sun Qingming rubbed his hands: "Wow, I haven't taken a police car yet."

"Would you like a full experience?" Ren Yu joked, "he has handcuffs."

"That's not necessary."

When they got on the bus, Gong Yingxian and Ren Yu sat in the back seat. Ren Yu moved aside for fear of rubbing against Gong Yingxian. Gong Yingxian glanced at him: "don't hide. Can you still sit on the top of the car?"

Ren Yu said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll get sick."

"You... I can bear it." Gong Yingxian said softly.

Ren Yi smiled knowingly.

The police car sent them back to the squadron. With a little expectation, Ren Peng asked Gong Yingxian, "do you want to come in and sit down? If you don't hurry back to the branch..."

"All right."

After entering the squadron, the soldiers came to ask about Gao Ge. When they learned that Gao Ge was all right, they were concerned about Qi Ren's injury.

Ren Yu explained and took Gong Yingxian to his dormitory.

In their Squadron, only the squadron leader and instructor have a single dormitory. Although the decoration is very simple, there are all kinds of bedrooms, bathrooms and offices.

Gong Yingxian stood in the house and looked around. Although he had been to the Phoenix squadron several times, he entered Ren Yu's dormitory for the first time. Compared with Ren Yu's home where no one has lived for several years, it has more breath of life and... Ren Yu's breath.

"Drink water?" Ren Yu was suddenly a little nervous. He was like a little boy who invited girls to his dormitory for the first time. He was afraid of being despised and not clean enough.

"No."

"Then sit for a while and I'll take a bath." Ren Yu thought of the injury on his neck. The nurse had just told him not to touch the water, but he couldn't even see it. He gave a soft "tut" and said to himself, "how can I wash it?"

"Let me help you." Gong Yingxian said.

Ren Yu stared straight and dared not turn his head back.
