"I received a friend's distress call. She's in that direction. I'll go save her now. When I rescue her back, tell me if you need any help!" Xu Taiping said to the fireman in front of him.

"Which direction?" We also just received a call from the police. Is it a girl called Lin You Ran? If that's true, then I'll have to trouble you to go. We've just received the police, and a few of our students have been besieged. We must head there immediately! " The fireman said.

"Yes, he's called Lin You Ran. We'll save each other first. We'll talk later." As Xu Taiping spoke, he headed in the direction of the study pavilion. At the same time, several firemen drove their fire engines up the mountain road that was filled with fire.

It was summer, and although the vegetation had a large amount of water content, the fire was fast and very strong. The raging flames raised the temperature by at least 20 degrees Celsius.

It took Xu Taiping a hundred meters long to get to the study. By the time he got there, the path was already surrounded by flames.

Xu Taiping couldn't help but hold his breath. In the fire, the thing that hurt the most wasn't the flames, but the smoke. Many people died in the fire.

Xu Taiping held his breath, rushing straight into the 100-meter-long path.

The scorching heat roasted Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping's hair started to smoke, but he was too fast, and as soon as his hair started to smoke, he passed through the 100m long road and finally arrived at the study hall.

Inside the study hall, Lin You Ran was lying on the ground, his body trembling in fear.

"Calm down!" Xu Taiping shouted.

Lin You Ran raised his head, looking towards Xu Tai Ping as he shouted with a trembling voice, "Director Xu!"

Xu Taiping carried Lin You Ran on his back and said, "Stick close to my body and I'll take you out!"

Lin You Ran quickly pressed his body against Xu Tai Ping.

Xu Taiping sped up and once again ran across the path that was surrounded by fire.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Taiping and Lin You Ran ran out of the sea of fire and ran down the mountain.

Not long after, Xu Taiping met a few firemen.

"The fire is too big, hurry up and leave!" Xu Taiping shouted to the firemen. At this time, the fire had already been ignited, so any rescue was pointless in front of it.

"Reinforcements will be coming soon. We can't let the fire continue burning like this, or else the fire might spread to the school district!" a fireman shouted.

"But you'll be in danger." Xu Taiping shouted.

"It's fine. Mr Xu, you can go down the mountain first. Leave this place to us!" cried the fireman.

Xu Taiping pondered for a moment, then nodded, and quickly left the mountain with Lin You Ran on his back.

Xu Taiping was extremely fast. Not long after, he arrived at the foot of the mountain with Lin You Ran on his back and saw Chen Wen and the rest.

"Take good care of her!" Xu Taiping handed Lin You Ran to Chen Wen.

"What about you, Director Xu?" Chen Wen asked.

"I'll go check the mountain and see how things are going." Xu Taiping said.

Just as Xu Taiping finished speaking …

BOOM!

A loud sound came from the mountain.

Xu Taiping looked up the mountain. The flame on some part of the mountain was actually many times stronger than before! The raging fire made Xu Taiping's face turn red.

"What the hell is that thing?!" Chen Wen asked in shock.

Xu Taiping didn't say anything and just rushed up the mountain.

"Director Xu, you have to be careful." Chen Wen shouted, but at this time, Xu Tai Ping had already disappeared from Chen Wen's sight.

On the mountain.

The flames were still burning fiercely. Despite the fact that a few helicopters had already flown in from the sky, facing the raging flames, these helicopters felt like they were on fire.

Xu Taiping came to the place where he had seen a few firemen.

The firemen had swept out a piece of cordage.

Fire tape could prevent the spread of fire. Normally, mountain fires were this way. First, the mountain fires were controlled to a certain range, and then the flames would be extinguished.

"What are all of you doing?!" Xu Taiping asked as he saw the firefighters in front of him climbing onto the fire trucks.

"The brothers that went to rescue the crowd were trapped, we are going over now!" A fire fighter said to Xu Taiping.

"Where?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Then!" The firefighter pointed to a nearby road.

That road led directly to the deepest part of the mountain, which was also the place where the fire burned the most vigorously. If Xu Taiping remembered correctly, it was in that direction, where the explosion had just occurred.

"There was an explosion just now!" Xu Taiping said.

"We heard it too. Brothers and the masses are there. We have to go!" The firefighter said as he got into the car.

Xu Taiping also quickly got into the car.

"The fire in that place is too big. You people would be courting death in the past!" Xu Taiping said excitedly. He was very clear on the power of the fire, especially in the place where it burned the brightest.

The fire fighter ignored Xu Taiping. He started the car and drove straight ahead. At the same time, several other fire engines also headed towards the deepest mountains where the fire burned.

"I'm not joking with you guys. If we continue to drive forward, you guys might not be able to get out! Your brothers, as well as the people who were trapped, I can just go and save them. " Xu Taiping said.

"This is our duty." The firefighter sitting next to Xu Taiping said, "Mr. Xu, you are a hero. You can do many amazing things. You can even save everyone else by yourself, but … We cannot place all our hopes on a hero. Our duty is here, and we must do it! "

"Even at the cost of my life?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes." The firefighter nodded.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was at most twenty years old, Xu Pingping could see the determination on his face. He could see the determination, and could tell that he was willing to give up everything for the benefit of his people.

Xu Taiping suddenly thought of those young men who were also in their early twenties, yet were spending all their time and energy, even all their money, on chasing after their stars.

Xu Taiping didn't look down on those people chasing after the stars, but in his eyes, the country's true future wasn't in those young people chasing after the stars, but in those people in front of them.

It was precisely because there were more and more such people in China that China became more prosperous over the past hundred years.

Xu Taiping raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Mr Xu!" The firefighter nodded.

The car lasted for seven or eight minutes before it all stopped.

"They're over there!" One of the instructors at the scene pointed at a burning forest nearby and shouted, "Hurry, put out the fire and make a path for us!"

Groups of firemen got out of the car and rushed into the blazing fire with a variety of tools.

In the fires of the mountains, simply sprinkling water was no longer of much use. Most people used all sorts of other tools to extinguish the fire.

The area between the parking lot and the people waiting to be rescued was covered in flames, which prevented the fire fighters from reaching the road. Therefore, the fire fighters who came to rescue them had issued a distress signal, calling for reinforcements.

"You guys put out the fire first, I'll go in and take a look!" As Xu Taiping spoke, he rushed into the sea of fire.

Although the flames had caused some damage to his body, relying on his endurance and recovery ability, Xu Taiping was confident that he would be able to stay in the sea of fire for a period of time.

When Xu Taiping rushed into the sea of fire, the flames engulfed his entire body.

His clothes were instantly set on fire, and so was his hair.

The flames that filled the sky continued to burn Xu Taiping's body.

No wonder those trapped people could not escape. With such a big fire, most people would burn to death when passing through the middle of the fire. Even if they didn't burn to death, the smoke would make them lose their consciousness. Dead.

Xu Taiping quickly rushed forward. After rushing for over 100 meters, a huge open space suddenly appeared in front of him.

It could be clearly seen that the empty ground was cleared by someone. Because of this empty land, the fire didn't cover everything. The empty land became a small area without fire. And on the empty land, a group of people sat together.

This group of people were very strange. About half of them were wearing only vests and shorts, while the other half were wearing fire protection masks and oxygen cylinders.

When Xu Taiping arrived, all of them were lying flat on the ground.

Smoke is going up, so when there's a big fire, it's best to lower your height.

Although there was no fire here, the raging fire around them had left blisters on the bodies of those in tank tops and shorts.

When they saw Xu Taiping, the men in firemen uniforms and masks shouted in excitement.

"Director Xu!"

"Director Xu!"

Hearing these people's shouts, Xu Taiping was shocked.

Logically speaking, the only one who would address him as Director Xu would be a student of Jiangyuan University. However, these people dressed in firemen uniforms before him should be firemen. Why would they call him Director Xu?

"Mr Xu!" A man in a vest shouted.

Xu Taiping looked at this person and realized he was a middle-aged man.

Looking at the people wearing vests, Xu Taiping realized that they were all young men in their twenties or thirties.

At this moment, Xu Taiping understood everything.

These people wearing vest and shorts were the firemen, while those wearing fire uniforms were the students of Jiangyuan University!
