Chapter 221

The carriages and seats are not flame retardant materials. They are too easy to burn. The fire spreads faster than thinking. The old people and children who are unable to escape turn into twitching charred corpses in the blink of an eye. There is no shouting, because the thick smoke is inhaled into the lungs and suffocates in an instant.

Even if you hold your breath, as long as you open your mouth, the high temperature will instantly dry the vocal cords, which is also impossible to make a sound.

Those who can shout in the fire are movies.

But this is not the deadliest.

The most fatal thing was that while the fire spread, the train entered the platform.

Jin Dahan rushed out of the door as soon as the door opened. The speed of the fire frightened him. His arms and hair were burned, which was more painful than death.

His purpose was to free himself from pain, not to find pain for himself, so he ran away naturally.

But he just rushed out of the train door, the fire early warning system started, the power was automatically cut off, and the station was dark.

The logic of dealing with fire was ridiculous later, but no one questioned it before.

Why should the power be cut off automatically in case of fire?

There is no point in cutting off the power supply unless it is a fire caused by electricity. What's more, if there is a fire, what's the use of cutting off the power supply?

The fire went out without electricity?

Just as the fire started——

Another subway, No. 1080, came face-to-face. The conductor didn't understand what had happened until it was juxtaposed with the fire train No. 1079. His response was also wrong. Instead of driving the train directly, he stopped there very dogmatically.

Because that's the rule.

To make matters worse, he closed the door he had just opened again, on the grounds of preventing smoke from pouring into his train.

This mistake is irreparable. Just after closing the door, the whole station was cut off.

He could no longer drive away the train and the door could not be opened.

If the passengers of the first group of trains still have the chance to escape, but most people of the second group of trains have no chance. As a result, they have become the group with the most deaths.

The city gate caught fire and burned the fish in the pond.

The arriving train was soon ignited by the fire, and the carriage became a cage. People escaped one carriage by one, and countless people cried in it. A beautiful young woman took out her phone and called her husband: "come and save me! The train is on fire, and the door can't be opened!"

The subway operator has never felt that this is a hidden danger, because the door can be opened manually.

They just ignored that when the fire and smoke spread at the speed of the tsunami, who still had time to open the door?

What's more, the switch is hidden under the seat next to the door. How many people know?

How many do you know will be opened manually?

Most people don't have the time even if they are willing to study it.

The fire spread quickly. Two groups of trains, a total of 12 carriages, were surrounded by fire and smoke.

But the second group of trains also opened their doors to escape.

In car 4, there is a 45 year old middle-aged man. His name is Quan chunxie. He is a stationmaster of a subway station in another city.

When the fire broke out, he felt that the situation was bad and immediately turned on the emergency switch under the seat beside the door.

When the car lights went out and only the emergency lights were on, he easily opened the door by hand.

Having been a conductor for 10 years, he is familiar with the essentials of emergency response.

Quan chunxie rushed out of the door, and other passengers began to escape one after another.

But after they escaped, they were still wrapped in smoke and darkness, completely unable to find direction. After all, the subway is underground. It's a closed space. It's as black as the carriage, but it's relatively large.

Only a few people managed to escape in the right direction. Others were smoked and scorched.

Those who can't escape or even find the direction are in a mess. Some try hard to pry the door, and some look around for an exit.

In the panic, countless passengers were suffocated by thick smoke.

The smoke spread along the ventilation duct to the underground shopping mall, and more than 200 shops closed one after another.

Then it spread to the ground vents, and thick black smoke rushed into the blue sky from the vents.

The unsuspecting pedestrians and drivers were stunned by the terrible smoke. It was like a black mushroom cloud out of thin air and rushed 100 meters high. It was like a nuclear attack. It was a wonder.

The local police and fire department received the fire alarm within two minutes and quickly mobilized more than 1500 personnel and dozens of fire engines to rescue.

For a time, the siren sounded in the downtown area, and the tension was like a war. After hearing the news, many citizens rushed to the scene to find their relatives. There were constant cries, reporters were busy, and the traffic was paralyzed.

A male passenger who just escaped told the reporter who arrived:

"I was next to the arsonist when the incident happened. He had two boxes in front of him and took out a lighter. When he lit it, several young people rushed up and pushed him away, but he threw the lighter, lit the box and ran away."

A man whose wife was trapped in a subway car told reporters with a choking voice:

"When the fire broke out, my wife was trapped in the subway car and couldn't get out. She called me for help: 'help me, help me! There was a fire in the subway and the door was closed!'"

The rescue could not be carried out at all. The pungent poisonous gas after the burning of plastic filled the whole space.

Those who can't escape can only die here.

Until more than three hours later, the raging fire was put out by more than 1300 firefighters.

Due to the extremely high temperature in the station, firefighters can enter the station for rescue only after cooling down.

People had to wait.

Firefighters said that only the frame and wheels of the two subway trains were left. The fire melted the steel cars. Who's skeleton more resistant to refining than steel? Therefore, many corpses will be burned directly into ash without any trace.

In this case, it will be counted into the number of missing persons, not within the scope of death.

At first, people got only 20 deaths and 167 injuries; Many people don't believe it. If there are 800 people in two trains, 20 people will die. Where are the rest?

Sure enough, this death number is like the meter of a taxi, beating constantly with the passage of time.

The growth made Jin Dazhong tremble.

……

The island media quickly followed up the development of the situation, and Fuji broadcast the live picture.

Xiaoshan sighed when he saw the tragedy of the TV picture. As expected, nothing could be changed.

But yuansha Yangli was stunned. Xiaoshan actually accurately predicted the disaster? Is he God?

Just then, Jiang Liangqing hurried over, "President Xiao, Jin Dazhong's phone."

Xiao Shan was stunned. He could put down his figure. But then again, no, he's leaving.

He answered the phone and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Jin, this is Xiaoshan."

"Mr. Xiaoshan, first of all, thank you very much for your warning. But the disaster came so fast that we didn't have time to prevent it, so we were a little unprepared. I'd like to ask Mr. Xiaoshan, what's your estimate of the death toll of the disaster?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not at the scene," Xiao Shan said simply. What's the point of telling you when you're sick?

Jin Dazhong was disappointed. He just wanted to confirm Xiaoshan's ability, but Xiaoshan obviously didn't mean to show off. He asked, "what else do you think we need to do to prevent disasters in the future?"

"I haven't been in your country for a long time. I just think the hidden danger of the subway is great, and I don't know anything else." Xiaoshan said quietly.

Jin Dazhong was even more disappointed. He doubted that Xiaoshan would remind them only after taking the subway in country H. As for the arson immediately after the warning, it may be just a coincidence.

"Thank you again, Mr. Xiaoshan. I hope we can become forever friends. You are also welcome to visit and cooperate with H again at your convenience. At that time, we will send special police to protect your safety. I believe we will have many win-win opportunities."

"OK, I'll go when I have time." Xiaoshan hung up the phone.

Welcome is just a courtesy. I really want Xiaoshan to make a formal invitation to the meeting, so Xiaoshan doesn't take it seriously at all.

……

February 19th.

After three consultations between Xiaoshan and Dongzhe, no agreement has been reached.

But Ichiro Dongzhe knows that his compromise will be made sooner or later, which is a concession that must be made.

After the consultation, Xiaoshan seemed to lose patience and took Baimei and yuansha to travel directly.

It's obvious. I want to continue talking until I've had enough.

His every move was closely watched and the Island National Defense Department knew it like the back of his hand.

At the same time, the intelligence agency of state h is also keeping an eye on it.

The Intelligence Institute is a department with great power. It has 39 intelligence stations around the world, one third of which are secretly located in Huaxia, island countries and Chaoxian, with more than 60000 staff.

In other words, the intelligence agency is strong in the island country.

This is the reason why Park Jinxi only dared to see Xiaoshan in the island country after following Xiaoshan for several months.

Xiao Shan's every move was delivered to Xin Jian's desk at the fastest speed.

Xin Jian looked at the information carefully and carefully analyzed Xiao Shan's motivation.

His main task now is to study Xiaoshan. This man is too important.

The phone rang suddenly.

He took a look. It was Li Jianxi, the chairman of the two stars, who casually connected and asked, "what's up?"

"Xin Jian, is it true that Xiaoshan warned the subway arson case in advance?" Li Jianxi asked seriously.

Xin Jian's eyes were cold: "who leaked the secret?"

The intelligence agency is not an ordinary department. It has strict confidentiality discipline and no one cares about its power.

"Don't worry, it's not you." Li Jianxi didn't dare to mention the three words of the intelligence agency, which is extremely taboo: "I must know Xiaoshan's accuracy. You know he's my competitor."

Xin Jian sighed secretly. It seems that park Zhiyuan did it.

But he still had to help Li Jianxi, so he nodded and said, "Xiaoshan did warn in advance. Just know."

"Does he really have the ability to predict?" Li Jianxi's voice trembled.

"I think so," Xin Jian said cautiously.

Seeing that Li Jianxi was a very decisive man, he immediately said excitedly:

"Such a person, you have the responsibility to deal with him! Otherwise, the two stars will be easily defeated by him, and the national economy will suffer a heavy blow!"
