Xu Taiping and Tuo looked at each other, put down the bottle and ran out of the room.

The shout came from the left, so Xu Taiping and Tu looked to the left.

A hundred meters away, one could faintly see bursts of fire.

"Not good, that's the direction the fireworks were coming from!" Ah Tu shouted excitedly.

"Hurry up and take a look!" Xu Taiping said and ran towards the left.

Not long after running, Xu Taiping could see the flames clearly.

The roof of a small two-story building by the side of the road was burning.

A group of young men stood not far away, looking at them in terror.

Below the second floor, there were countless people carrying basins and running up the stairs. However, because this second floor was made of wood, the fire burned very quickly.

"What is going on!?" Ah Tu rushed to the front of the group of young men, staring at his son Little Mo and asked.

"I-we don't know either. We're just setting off fireworks here, so we don't understand why there's a fire over there!" Little Mo shook his head.

"Why are you still standing there foolishly? Go get water, help put out the fire!" Tu shouted.

Little Mo came back to his senses and quickly ran to get the water.

"This won't do! This fire can't be extinguished!" A man stood downstairs and shouted excitedly. The fire on the roof became stronger and stronger. The fire on the roof of the building was just a fire on the second floor, but now the entire second floor was on fire.

Xu Taiping looked around with a serious face and found that there were also wooden houses on the side of this two-story wooden building.

In order to ensure the ancientness of the town, almost all of the houses here were made of wood. Only a few restaurants were made of cement.

"What about the fire engine? Is the fire engine not here yet? " someone shouted.

"The fire engine is on its way, quickly put out the fire!" Someone shouted after him.

Xu Taiping didn't hesitate as he turned and ran across the street. He found a washbasin, filled it with water, and ran towards the burning two-story building.

The water kept being poured onto the second floor of the building, but the burning speed of the wooden house was too fast. No matter how fast the water was poured over there, it couldn't stop the spread of the fire.

"Hurry and rescue the property of the other houses!" Xu Taiping shouted.

Although it was still just a building on fire, these buildings were very close to each other. According to Xu Taiping's estimate, the fire would soon spread.

Xu Taiping couldn't make much use of the fire.

People kept running out from their houses and joining the fire brigade. The residents beside this house began to run back to their houses to move their valuables out.

In just a few minutes, the entire two-story building began to burn. At this moment, the flames of the building finally spread to the neighboring buildings.

The edge of the house next door began to burn.

At this time, the mayor, along with the secretary and the people from the police station, arrived at the scene. Seeing that the second house was already on fire, Wang Baoquan shouted, "Which house has someone else? "Hurry up and come out, we can't hold the fire any longer, don't let anyone die!"

"That person, what are you doing?!" Chen Jian suddenly pointed at a person and shouted.

He saw that person rushing towards the second building that was already on fire.

"I still have ten thousand dollars under my bed. I have to go up and get it!" That person said anxiously and rushed into the second building.

At this moment, the second building was already on fire. Moreover, a gust of wind was blowing from nowhere, increasing the intensity of the fire.

"Hurry up and come out, why are you still taking out money, are you stupid!?" Wang Baoquan shouted anxiously.

No one answered him. The person who had rushed into the second building seemed to have disappeared.

Looking at the thick smoke, Xu Taiping guessed what it was and rushed towards the building.

"Taiping, what are you doing?!" Tu shouted.

"Save him!" Xu Taiping's voice sounded out, and he disappeared into the second floor of the building.

"Save who, it's such a big fire!" Ah Tu stomped his feet anxiously, but it was useless. Xu Taiping had already run into that building.

Everyone looked nervously at the two-story building. The building was surrounded by fire and thick smoke was pouring out of the windows, making it impossible to see the situation in the building. At the same time, some cracking sounds came from inside the building, as if the building could collapse at any time.

"We're finished. Two of us have to die!" Wang Baoquan said in despair.

"Dead meat! This Xu Taiping is dead meat!" A person standing closer to them shook his head.

Such a big fire, such a big smoke, and he still hasn't brought an oxygen bottle. Whoever goes in would die.

Was Xu Taiping dead?

Obviously not.

Xu Taiping held his breath and rushed up to the second floor.

There was fire everywhere, and there was nothing to be seen on the second floor. There were many rooms in this wooden house, and the layout was very complicated.

After Xu Taiping went up to the second floor, he was a bit confused because he didn't know which way to go.

Since he did not know, he could only search one room at a time!

Xu Taiping rushed into the room to the left, but there was no one there. He then ran to the room in front of him, but there was still no one there. Then, Xu Taiping rushed to the room on the right, and at that moment, Xu Taiping saw someone in the room.

The man lay facedown on the ground, as if unconscious.

The thick smoke that shrouded the entire room was extremely terrifying.

Xu Taiping rushed to that man's side and picked him up, regardless if he was alive or dead.

Just at this moment, a kacha sound came from underneath Xu Taiping's feet.

Xu Taiping's body suddenly fell down from the second floor all the way to the first floor.

With a loud bang, Xu Taiping fell to the ground floor with the unconscious man in his arms. He was instantly surrounded by the raging fire. At the same time, the surrounding beams began to show signs of collapsing.

"F * ck!" Xu Taiping couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He then sped up his pace and rushed out.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

With another loud noise, the roof of the building caved in, and those burning logs smashed into the ground.

From the outside, it was clear that the building had completely collapsed.

The thick smoke enveloped the area several meters around the building in an instant.

The surrounding people quickly retreated outside the thick smoke.

"It's over, we're dead for sure." Wang Baoquan said.

"Sigh!" Chen Jian sighed.

The surrounding crowd sighed. From their point of view, no one could survive this situation.

At this moment, a figure with fiery light suddenly appeared from the thick smoke.

This figure rapidly grew in size. In less than a second, this figure had sprung out from the smoke and appeared before everyone.

This man's clothes had been burnt to a crisp in many places. He was pitch black, as if he was a black man.

He held a person in his arms as he stood in front of everyone, then he quickly gasped for breath.

"It's peaceful!" Zhou Jun shouted and rushed towards Xu Taiping.

The surrounding people cried out in disbelief.

Xu Taiping ignored them all. He put the unconscious man down to the ground and felt his pulse.

His pulse was very weak, almost non-existent.

Xu Taiping raised his hands, folded them, and pressed them against the man's chest.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The man suddenly coughed out a lot of black, viscous phlegm.

Xu Taiping heaved a sigh of relief and straightened up.

"Taiping, you scared us to death!" Zhou Jun rushed to Xu Taiping's side and said excitedly.

"Let's not talk about that. First, we have to put out the fire. The fire engine won't be coming in anytime soon. It's going too fast. We have to get some shelter or else this whole area of the house will be burnt down!" Xu Taiping said as he stared at the fire.

Beside the collapsed building, a third house was on fire.

"Xu Taiping, are you alright?" Wang Baoquan ran to Xu Taiping's side, holding his hand tightly.

"What can I do for you? Don't just stand there. Hurry up and put out the fire! " Xu Taiping said.

"There's nothing we can do about the fire. It's too strong. All the fire extinguishers in the town have been used up. We can only wait for the fire engines to arrive!" Wang Baoquan said.

"The fire engine doesn't have to be here anytime soon. Let's make a isolation belt first!" Xu Taiping said.

"Isolation zone? "What do we do?" Wang Baoquan looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.

"Disassemble!" Xu Taiping looked at the few houses that had not yet been set on fire and said, "From the first house, the fifth house, tear down the fifth one. This will slow down the fire, and after the house is destroyed, it will form a fence. Even if these houses are set on fire, because the fifth house is in a lower position, it will be easy to put out the fire!"

"Take down the house? How are we going to tear it apart? " Wang Baoquan asked.

"Leave the demolition of the house to me. Get someone to prepare the water and wait by the fifth house. I'm going to demolish the fifth house now!" Xu Taiping said.

"Should I ask the owner of the house about this?" Chen Jian asked.

"What the f * * k are you asking me at a time like this? If we don't tear them down, they'll all be gone! " Xu Taiping said angrily.

"But, this is private property. Didn't you say that private property is inviolable?" Wang Baoquan said.

"Tell me again?" Xu Taiping grabbed Wang Baoquan's collar, and glared at him.

"I... I didn't say anything. " Wang Baoquan quickly shook his head.

"The house is mine, so do what you have to do. As long as you can stop the fire from spreading, it's enough!" A person from the side walked over and said.

Xu Taiping turned around and saw a familiar face. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
