Chapter 1224: Fire Tornado
There was even a bedridden man. Elderly who had great difficulty walking tried their best to move the paralyzed old man.
The paralyzed elder kept shouting to no avail. “Third Brother, Fifth Brother, don’t bother about . Leave! Go!”
However, the old n had no intention of giving up. They lowered their heads and allowed the old man to hit their heads, but they still lifted him up and placed him on a cart before pushing him out.
Every family mber was running, but the elderly n really couldn’t run fast…
At that mont, a figure rushed into the village.
Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the situation. The old people had already started running ahead of ti. It was better than him informing them when he arrived.
“I’ll go help.” Wei Xiaolin ran over to help push the elderly man.
Fangzheng nodded and said, “All of you, go help. I’ll search the village and see if there are still any villagers who haven’t co out.”
Wei Shengli said, “Sure.”
The two split up to take action separately. Fangzheng moved at an extrely fast pace. He rushed into one of the houses, searched the area, and headed straight for the next one.
However, the speed of the fire wasn’t slow either. The flas on the canopy were already rushing over and about to burn down the village!
For those people who hadn’t run far, flas seed to rain down on their as though hell had broken loose. Everyone looked at the sky in despair.
People saw the strong winds enter the mountain and turn into a fiery tornado. The fire quickly surrounded the village, trapping everyone in the middle. There was no way to escape!
Wei Shengli hugged Wei Xiaolin and whispered, “I’m sorry, my daughter. Dad brought you harm.”
Wei Xiaolin leaned into Wei Shengli’s arms and whispered, “Dad, I finally understand why you’d rather suffer here than go out to enjoy life in the city. This place needs you…”
Wei Shengli said, “In this life, I owe you and your mother too much. I’m sorry. When I can’t walk anymore, I’ll go back and accompany you, alright?”
Wei Xiaolin: “Yeah…”
Fangzheng was also stunned when he saw this scene. The mountain fire in front of him had ford a spiral as it circled the mountain col and burned. It was like special effects in a blockbuster!
But now, this special effect was not only spectacular, but it also threw one into despair.
Feeling the despair of the villagers, Fangzheng sighed. At this point, the only thing he could do was make them sleep peacefully.
…
Just as Fangzheng left the command center with Wei Shengli and Wei Xiaolin,
Commander Lin nearly broke down when he saw the situation in front of him. Mountain winds were extrely strange, as if soone was controlling it. It blew in different directions from ti to ti, spreading the mountain fire everywhere…
“F*ck, there’s still not enough manpower! I need more people. I need a helicopter!” Commander Lin shouted into the walkie-talkie.
“The helicopter team has already taken off. Please wait patiently,” said the other side.
“Don’t co to . Go to the Liu Clan Village! Help extinguish the fire!” Commander Lin shouted.
“Helicopter team, roger that. Changing course for Liu Clan Village.”
When Commander Lin heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, the situation in front of him still made him anxious. The fire was too big.
In fact, he was not the only one in charge of the scene. There were too many teams. Before they could form a unified command, everyone rushed to fight the fire upon arrival…
Just as a few commanders were shouting for help, sounds of tractors suddenly attracted everyone’s attention. A group of villagers drove their tractors, vans, and all sorts of farming vehicles over. However, what made the commanders’ eyes turn red was that there were not many young people on these vehicles. They were all elderly people in their fifties or sixties! These old n were not wearing down jackets, but the cotton clothes of the past. All of them had aged, wrinkled faces. They could even be their grandfathers.
However, all of them still rushed over without hesitation and asked, “Where do you need our help?”
Commander Lin said, “Grandpa, we… have enough manpower.”
“Enough my a*s! Don’t think that we are useless when we are old. We are more familiar with this mountain than you! If you don’t arrange us to do sothing, we will go up the mountain and extinguish the fire!” a fiery-tempered elderly man shouted.
When Commander Lin saw this, his scalp went numb. These elderly n’s actions moved him, but the mountain was too dangerous.
Once the fire’s direction changed because of the wind, it would require a large amount of energy to escape. If one’s stamina could not keep up, they would be swept into the fire. Death beca a certainty.
Furthermore, there was also the risk of serious dehydration and heatstroke.
At this mont, a man who looked like a cadre rushed over and said, “Comrade, let us help.”
Commander Lin smiled bitterly. “How many youngsters do you have?”
The other party said helplessly, “Young people have already gone to the south to work. Those who can move are all here. There aren’t many young people…”
Commander Lin said, “How about this? We need a lot of people in the logistics departnt. Get the older ones to transport water and cook. I’ll assign the younger ones into our teams and let them carry out operations together with the team.”
The cadre nodded and left with a group of unhappy elderly n and won.
At the sa ti, outside the col where Liu Clan Village was.
“Captain, what should we do? The fire has spread inside,” said a firefighter anxiously.
Captain Wu said with a serious expression, “Brothers, you can see the situation for yourself. There’s a sea of fire in front of us, and if we pass through it, we’ll see Liu Clan Village. There are elderly people and children inside. The young adults of Liu Clan Village are on the other side fighting the fire. They won’t be able to co back to save their family. Let ask everyone, what should we do at this ti?”
“Advance!” Everyone shouted.
“It’s very risky for us to enter. Those who aren’t afraid of death, raise your hands!” Captain Wu asked.
Everyone raised their hands.
When Captain Wu saw this, he burst into tears. Although they were soldiers in front of him, their young, innocent faces told him that they were a bunch of children! They were children in their pri, their most beautiful youth. But now, he was leading them into the fire… His heart was aching, but when he looked at his military uniform, he held back his tears and looked up at the sky.
At that mont, the sound of a roaring engine could be heard as ten helicopters flew over. Buckets of dry ice fell from the sky, suppressing the flas along the way. The temperature also dropped.
Captain Wu waved his hand. “Charge! Charge in, bring them out!”
“Charge in and bring them out!” The group of firefighters shouted. Wearing their fireproof equipnt, they followed the captain into the fire…
As they shouted loudly with courage, their voices echoed in the valley, spreading into Liu Clan Village.
Fangzheng was just about to cast his divine powers when he suddenly heard shouts. He turned his head and happened to see the helicopters scattering dry ice before rapidly flying off into the distance.
The helicopter did not dare to land in such an inferno. The swirling wind created by the helicopter’s propeller would sweep the flas up into the sky, forming a fire tornado, causing a greater threat.
