"Elder Tong, be careful and stay safe," Ling Chen advised.
"Don’t worry, such a small matter won’t trouble ." With that, Tong Zhentian grabbed the chain, lightly touched down with his toes, and jumped directly onto the rope. Then, he swiftly moved forward along the rope, his body agile like a leopard. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the raging flas.
Seeing this, everyone was taken aback, both surprised by Ling Chen and his team’s actions and amazed by their skills. They’ve seen tightrope performances before, but using such a thin rope, holding a chain, and being totally unaffected, like walking on solid ground, is certainly not sothing everyone can achieve. Moreover, how could soone rush into a fire scene alone without fear of being burned?
After a while, the rope in Ling Chen’s hand suddenly slackened and broke in the middle. Presumably unable to withstand the scorching fire, the entire rope had severed. However, Tong Zhentian had already safely reached the office building and set up the chain.
After securing the other end of the chain, a makeshift and special bridge was successfully built. At this ti, the martial arts experts had already prepared well. Seeing the fixed chain, Chen Junfeng and the eight eccentrics imdiately jumped on it, each holding a chain. With such a crowd, one chain would certainly be insufficient and inconvenient for passage; hence, setting up more chains could save more people efficiently.
Soon, ten chains were fully set up, suspended more than ten ters in the air.
"Mr. Ling, what are you doing?" At this mont, Zhou Guosen receiving the news hurriedly ca over, his face full of confusion upon seeing the chains suspended in mid-air.
"Captain Zhou, there’s no ti to explain much, please prepare so fireproof cloth, we’ll need it shortly." As soon as the words fell, Tong Zhentian quickly ran back from the other end of the chains, carrying a person in his arms.
Seeing Tong Zhentian land, Ling Chen and Zhou Guosen rushed over.
"This person is in critical condition; they need imdiate rescue," Tong Zhentian said urgently as he set the survivor down.
"Leave it to us." Zhou Guosen picked up the walkie-talkie and urged dical personnel to quickly arrive on the scene. "Elder Tong, how is the situation inside?"
"Over three hundred people are trapped in two large workshops, and the situation isn’t optimistic. The workshop roofs are about to collapse due to the fire. The others are in two office buildings; they are slightly better off but won’t hold out for long."
Ling Chen nodded, "Looks like we need to speed up." Pausing for a mont, Ling Chen turned to Zhou Guosen, "Quickly prepare the fireproof cloth, the rescue work outside is handed over to you." With that, Ling Chen hesitated no more and swiftly headed into the fire scene along the chains.
Watching nurous martial artists swiftly dash along the chains, bringing trapped individuals out of the fire, Zhou Guosen was montarily stunned. Where did all these people co from, and how could each one of them be so formidable?
Entering the fire scene, Ling Chen followed the chains directly to the central office building of the factory. At this mont, He Ziyun was at the top floor of the office building, orderly arranging the evacuations of those trapped. With so many martial artists involved in the rescue, having soone to handle the unified scheduling to prevent chaos could save quite so ti.
Ling Chen stood at the top and surveyed the surroundings, nodding to himself. No wonder he was the founder of the Phantom, He Ziyun’s leadership ability was outstanding. Ten chains, five for entry, five for exit, preventing congestion. Additionally, He Ziyun dispatched most martial artists to the workshops to rescue the trapped workers. As long as those workers were brought to the office building, He Ziyun would imdiately arrange their evacuation. At such tis, the difference among experts becos apparent.
Ordinary martial artists could only take one person out each ti, but experts like Chen Junfeng and Master Hui Yun could carry one on each shoulder and grab two more, evacuating four people at once, highly efficient.
More than ten minutes had passed, and half of the trapped workers had been rescued.
Watching the survivors being continuously rescued, the surrounding onlookers couldn’t help but applaud. They had seen various rescue operations but had never witnessed such a unique rescue thod.
"Experts! These are true experts!" soone in the crowd exclaid.
If it weren’t for these martial artists stepping forward, no one else could rescue people using this thod.
However, at this mont, a series of ’boom boom’ explosion sounds suddenly emanated from the factory’s interior, strong blasts that even the outside onlookers could feel.
"Not good!" Hearing the commotion from inside the factory, Ling Chen’s face changed slightly after having rescued one person. As Zhou Guosen had ntioned to him earlier, this was a chemical factory storing many chemicals and alcohol. Should a chain explosion occur, not only would rescue operations beco more difficult, it would also endanger the safety of the rescue personnel.
"We must speed up." Ling Chen thought for a mont, quickly moved next to Su i, and instructed her a few things.
"Alright, I understand, take care of yourself," she replied.
Ling Chen acknowledged and, without a second thought, stepped on the chains again and dashed toward the fire. Before long, most martial artists rescuing people from the fire were held back by Su i from re-entering the fire. With the interior of the factory too dangerous now and explosions likely at any mont, if too many martial artists suffered casualties due to this, it wouldn’t be worth it. Therefore, from now on, those ranked below the Earthly List are restricted from entering the fire.
Those ranked on the Earthly List and Heavenly List boast formidable strength, able to protect themselves even amidst danger.
Another few minutes passed, the workers remaining inside the factory totaled over thirty, all gathered in the office building. Each Heavenly List expert rescued four survivors, and each Earthly List expert rescued two, and soon all of the dozens of workers in the office building were escorted out of the fire.
"Mr. He, you go first, I’ll bring up the rear."
"Alright." He Ziyun nodded slightly and dashed onto the chain with a worker. Watching He Ziyun leave, Ling Chen glanced around, noticing the two large workshops collapsing in the fire with a loud ’boom’, sending sparks flying.
Fortunately, they managed to get everyone out of the workshops in ti; otherwise, the casualties would have been significant.
"Are you two ready?" Ling Chen asked the two exhausted workers beside him.
The two nodded hastily, the surrounding heat waves becoming unbearable, making them reluctant to stay even a mont longer.
"Then let’s go." Ling Chen wrapped his arms around the waists of the two workers and gently tapped his toes, jumping onto the chain and swiftly rushing toward the fire’s edge.
