Chapter Fifty-Five: Retrograde

Gu Chengchuan saw Xu Qiao again, and it was on TV.

During the National Day holiday, the entire fire brigade was in a state of combat readiness and was ready to deal with any sudden dangers at any time to ensure that it arrived at the scene for rescue as soon as possible.

After dinner, Gu Chengchuan watched TV with the soldiers to relax.

A food program is being broadcast on TV: Looking for the taste of hometown

Xu Qiao appeared on the screen so pretty, with neither humble nor arrogant expression and calm and relaxed answers.

All of them made Gu Chengchuan a little dazed. He never saw the little girl again after that supper. September and October were the peak period of fire.

All squadrons have cancelled their leave and are on duty at any time.

Gu Chengchuan did not rest, and Xu Qiao did not come to the squadron to find him.

I saw Xu Qiao again on TV and suddenly realized that the little girl didn't take the initiative to come to him!

The original casual sitting posture was closed, and his eyes fell on Xu Qiao's face on the screen and never looked away.

The little girl's eyes were as calm as water, her expression was a little serious and alienated, and her voice was shallow.

Gu Chengchuan looked a little lost. His sister Gu Yaruo died at the age of nineteen. I don’t know if it was too long, but his impression of his sister was a little blurred in his memory. He just remembered that he was a very quiet and non-talking girl.

It was also quiet in front of him, with a soft voice, as delicate as a small morning glory in the fields.

Xu Qiao, who is the same age, has nothing in common except her youthful appearance and her younger sister.

He has a well-behaved appearance, a bit weird personality, and sometimes eccentricity.

I couldn't help but make him curious.

The soldiers watching TV together behind him met Xu Qiao that night. Now they saw Xu Qiao appear on TV. In surprise, they whispered: "This is the squadron leader bringing that girl."

"It's so good to watch on TV, better than the female host next to you."

"It turns out that I participated in a food show, but the glutinous rice lotus she made is really delicious. How do you say that word? It's sweet but not greasy..."

"That's amazing."

When Gu Chengchuan listened, he couldn't help but bent his lips. What's going on?

The calm atmosphere did not last until the end of the program, and I received a call from the command center that a chemical factory in the north of the city exploded. The situation was urgent and all nearby fire squadrons needed to go over and reinforce.

Fire is an order, and it is urgent.

Gu Chengchuan led the team to set off, and all six fire trucks from the Fire Brigade Squadron were dispatched.

On the command car, Gu Chengchuan assigned tasks to deputy squadron leader Niu Zhiwei: "Jiang Dahai and the pump fire truck are responsible for extinguishing the open fires outside. Sun Haiyang and the high-power foam fire truck are responsible for the chemical factory workshop area. I will lead the team to rescue people."

Niu Zhiwei disagreed: "Captain Gu, I'd better go."

Gu Chengchuan glanced at her sideways: "I have more experience in this regard than you. We are not going to die, but to save more people."

Niu Zhiwei immediately stopped talking. In terms of experience, he was indeed much worse than Gu Chengchuan. More importantly, Gu Chengchuan was a top student. He could remember the simple drawings firmly in his mind with just a glance. Moreover, his judgment of the fire source was extremely accurate.

The fire truck rushed to the north suburbs of Chengbei Chemical Factory at a speed of lightning.

All the fire squadrons supporting were basically in place, and seventy or eighty fire trucks roared towards the factory with thick smoke.

Gu Chengchuan jumped out of the car and walked towards the command center. The fire brigade leader Wu Zhenguo was with the factory leader with a serious expression.

Seeing Gu Chengchuan coming, I felt relieved: "Now there are more than a dozen workers trapped in the workshop in Area C, and their lives and death are unknown. Both attacks were blasted and returned. If I were waiting, it would be difficult...

The factory leader next to him nodded quickly: "Yes, they can't have any trouble. They are all technical backbones in the factory."

Gu Chengchuan frowned and looked at the workshop floor plan on the table. The explosion workshop was very close to the signs of the trapped people. If there was a first aid shelter in the workshop, these people still had the possibility of survival, otherwise it would be difficult to survive under the high temperature and thick smoke.

The factory leaders were already scared to the point of being soared to the sky and the sound of explosions from time to time. If there were another personnel accident, it would be more than just a dismissal! There might be a few years of prison.

At this moment, I couldn't help but exonerate myself: "The fire protection work in our factory has always met the standards. There are fire inspections every day, why do you still..."

Gu Chengchuan didn't say anything, pressed his eyes down and looked at the drawings, and his hands were not stopped. He sorted out his belt and fire waist axe kit, fixed the fuse rope, put on an oxygen cylinder on his back, put on a safety helmet, turned around and strode away...

The high-pressure water pump has put out the open fire outside, and the thick smoke is rolling up the flying dust and spreads out.

Fire boots stomped on the water-stacked road, making a murmur sound.

Gu Chengchuan narrowed his eyes and glanced around, and led three firefighters into the factory workshop like the city of death. The orange-red figure gradually disappeared into the thick smoke...

When Xu Qiao saw the TV news, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

For more than a month, she has been preparing for the semi-finals.

Starting from basic skills, to the meaning of the dishes, innovation. Every day, from busy morning to dark.

Zhou Yansheng couldn't help but be impressed. On Xu Qiao, he saw a sense of tenacity. As long as he knew it, he could devote himself wholeheartedly and not be affected by any outside world. He even forgot Gu Chengchuan, who she cared about the most.

Such a person may have a little bit of coldness in his temperament.

Xu Qiao carved flowers in the bedroom for an afternoon, but before she arrived at the hotel, she heard the voice of the announcer on the TV: "...The fire has killed three people... The firefighters are still actively searching and rescue..."

My heart trembled and I walked over quickly, without looking at Zhou Yansheng, who had a serious expression at the bar. He stared at the TV.

When Shichengbei Chemical Factory appeared on the TV screen, all nearby fire squadrons actively extinguished them... and so on, Xu Qiaocai came back to her senses and turned to look at Zhou Yansheng: "Has Gu Chengchuan gone too?"

Zhou Yansheng shrugged: "It must have been gone, but I didn't see it on TV."

On the TV, there were thick smoke rolling, running orange figures, and fire truck police lights flashing...

Xu Qiao reached out and grabbed the back of the chair. Because of the force, her fingertips turned white and her joints were raised.

The expression on his face was serious and nervous, and there was a little sadness.

Zhou Yansheng looked at Xu Qiao with his chin and couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, Lao Gu has participated in many rescue missions and is experienced. There is definitely nothing wrong."

Xu Qiao didn't respond and stared at the TV screen.

The picture suddenly focused on the roof of a building, with two orange-red figures hanging crumblingly on the edge of the roof.

The screams of reporters on the TV appeared on the scene, and their voices were trembling.

Xu Qiao's hand holding the back of the chair was a little harder, and her heart was raised to her throat.
