Chapter 12. We saved Minmin together
After receiving the call from Chen Shu, Zhang Wenjie calmed down.
"Minmin is okay? Where are you in the mall now?"
Chen Shu said: "We are in the top movie city. But the fire has spread and we can't go down. It's okay now, but it's hard to say later."
Minmin added in a crying voice next door: "Dad, come and save me."
Zhang Wenjie was relieved when he heard his daughter's voice. He said to Chen Shu: "Don't hang up the phone first."
Then he turned around and asked Li Wenyuan, "Wenyuan, my daughter and the others are on the ninth floor. Is there a way to get on the ladder?"
Li Wenyuan looked at the environment: "If they could go to the rooftop, they should be fine."
Zhang Wenjie said to the phone: "You try it if you can go to the rooftop."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shimao next to him spoke at this time: "The rooftop of the mall is usually locked."
Hearing this, Zhang Wenjie's face turned dark. Chen Shu on the other end of the phone also looked desperate. Why are you locking the rooftop?
"Is there a way to send someone to rescue?" Zhang Wenjie asked again.
Li Wenyuan: "Yes, but I hope there will be construction consultants or fire consultants in the mall to cooperate. Our team members are not familiar with the overall structure of the mall, which will increase the difficulty of rescue."
When they heard the words "Fire Consultant", Zhu Shimao and Huang Zilin couldn't help but look at Zhang Wenjie.
Li Wenyuan was a little confused.
Zhang Wenjie glanced at the architectural structure diagram next door and said, "If you can trust me, I will cooperate with you. When I came to the interview a few days ago, I walked around the mall."
Li Wenyuan: "Interview?"
Zhang Wenjie: "Well, interview for a fire safety consultant."
Li Wenyuan looked back at Zhu Shimao: "He is here for an interview, don't you recruit him?"
Zhu Shimao's face was hard to see.
Li Wenyuan whispered in a cold sweat and said something in a low voice, as if it was a swear word starting with the letters "S" and "B".
At this time, Zhu Shimao regretted it to death. If he had known that Zhang Wenjie was so awesome, he would not have driven him away that day.
A decision may prevent this great disaster. However, there is no regret medicine in this world. Since a wrong decision is made, the consequences must be borne.
Zhang Wenjie was too lazy to care about these things. He pointed to the structural diagram and said, "When I came a few days ago, many shops on the east side of the mall had just been renovated, and there was a lot of construction waste accumulation on the back stairs. I guess I haven't had time to clear it yet, so I can't escape from there. You can't go up there either."
"Also, when I came that day, I found that there was a problem with the exhaust pipe structure, so it would cause the fire to spread out of the pipe. We should prevent the suffocation problem."
"In addition, I also saw exposed wires on some walls on the other side of the East Tower that day. The wires should have been made by a European factory called Vendis. The latest news has been released in Europe a few days ago. Therefore, the wires of such wires will have problems due to excessive voltage, and the linked electric box will be in danger of explosion. Don't lean there."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wenjie said to Chen Shu on the other side of the phone: "You go to the bathroom first, soak your clothes, cover your mouth and nose, and avoid inhaling too much smoke. Mr. Chen, you must protect my daughter no matter what."
As he said that, he looked at Li Wenyuan again: "Wenyuan, let's change our thinking. Since the door of the rooftop is locked, the people inside cannot get out. We can try to let the team members take the ladder and use tools to break the door."
Li Wenyuan nodded: "Well, I'll make arrangements right away."
Li Wenyuan had an illusion that he felt as if he was back when he was working under Zhang Wenjie three years ago.
"Reported that the fire spread faster due to the blockage of construction waste. External water spraying can no longer completely suppress the fire." A team member came in to report to Li Wenyuan.
Li Wenyuan looked at Zhang Wenjie instinctively.
Zhang Wenjie: "You are the commander, and the scene is up to you to judge."
Li Wenyuan shook his mind and came to his senses: "I asked the headquarters to send helicopters to sprinkle water to allow firefighters entering the interior to quickly clean up the construction waste that had not been ignited in the stairwell on the ground floor. We should not let the fire spread down. Pay attention to the power lines on the other side of the East Tower to prepare for explosion-proof..."
Zhang Wenjie continued to say to the other side of the phone: "Mr. Chen, the fire brigade has sent someone to use a ladder to break the door of the rooftop. Is there any way to take Minmin to the rooftop?"
To be honest, Chen Shu is already a little overwhelmed now. The entire ninth floor is filled with smoke, and due to construction waste, the stairwell is almost completely burning. It is already very difficult to get in.
Chen Shu looked at the back stairs covered by flames and said in a muffled voice: "It was OK two minutes ago, but now it is difficult. Are there any other solutions?"
"On the left hand side of the cinema on the ninth floor, all the way to the cinema. It is the office of the cinema. There are floor-to-ceiling windows there." Zhang Wenjie glanced at the architectural drawing and proposed another plan.
Chen Shu: "I'll go and have a look now."
As he said that, Chen Shu ran towards the left.
Hum, Chen Shu suddenly heard a strange sound above his head. He looked up and saw a chandelier above his head suddenly falling.
He held Minmin tightly with one hand, and with his right hand holding the phone, he pushed the chandelier away with force. His whole hand was scratched with blood from the glass decoration on the chandelier.
The cell phone also landed on the ground.
Zhang Wenjie's ears exploded and he fought all over: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen?"
There was no response from the phone.
Zhang Wenjie's heart suddenly sank. He turned to Li Wenyuan and said, "Wenyuan, you can arrange the ladder to the west side of the ninth floor."
Li Wenyuan nodded: "Okay!"
Without extra words, Zhang Wenjie and Li Wenyuan were brothers for many years. Although Zhang Wenjie was unwilling to face brothers many years ago due to an accident three years ago, the tacit understanding between brothers did not decline at all.
In the fire scene, any extra words may delay the opportunity to save people.
In the sea of fire, Chen Shu hugged Minmin and ran wildly in the office. At this time, his consciousness had begun to blur. Minmin's breathing in his arms became weaker and weaker.
In two minutes, he finally saw the office door. He kicked it hard.
Bang, the wooden door fell to the ground.
The office's sprinkler system has worked, and it has not been affected by the fire!
Chen Shu rushed in excitedly.
He saw a floor-to-ceiling window.
He saw the ladder outside the window.
He saw hope!
He hugged Minmin tightly, and used his right hand full of blood donation to pick up an office chair next to him, and knocked hard at the glass window.
The glass was broken, and Chen Shu reached out and handed the child to the firefighter.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and, with the assistance of the firefighters, climbed the ladder.
Five minutes later, Chen Shu was finally able to keep his feet on the ground. As soon as he landed, his legs became weak and he sat on the ground.
A medical staff member ran over immediately and treated Chen Shu's injuries on his right hand.
Zhang Wenjie walked over and picked up Minmin with one hand.
"Dad!" Minmin started crying in Zhang Wenjie's arms.
While comforting Minmin, Zhang Wenjie walked to Chen Shu and knelt in front of Chen Shu: "Mr. Chen, thank you."
Chapter completed!
