After the live broadcast, many people clenched their fists, cheering up the firefighters nervously.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Why doesn't the wind stop!"

"If only it rained now."

"Bless the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, bless the people inside are fine, and bless the firefighters to leave safely."

"Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, people will surely conquer the sky!"

"Why should you pin your hope of survival on these illusory existences?"

"Obviously there are dozens of firefighters working hard at the scene! Why not keep hope in them?"

"Our lives are guarded by our own hands!"

···

Although Li Xiao is fast, he is not an iron man.

Taking advantage of the time to catch his breath, he quickly turned his head and looked behind him.

Everyone is very fast.

In ten minutes, a firebreak of hundreds of meters has been opened.

Although this fire belt is not so straight, it is a bit crooked.

Moreover, due to the pursuit of speed and length, the width is only 2 to 3 meters, which seems a bit narrow.

But in Li Xiao's view, there is a strange beauty.

This is the passage for everyone to escape, whether life or death depends on this firebreak.

How could it not be beautiful?

While wiping the sweat from his palms, he shouted to the people around him:

"Come on, as long as we are fast enough, we can rescue all the people inside!"

"It's 100 meters now! Work hard to open three more 100-meter firebreaks."

"We'll be able to pick people up smoothly!"

"Rush rush!"

Li Xiao raised his ax and shouted.

A dozen people around also responded loudly.

"Rush rush!"

Among the shouts of the crowd, it was also accompanied by the roar of diesel chain saws.

Although Li Xiao yelled very loudly, he actually didn't have a bottom line in his heart.

Their location is far more than 400 meters away from that small hill.

But according to the current wind.

To completely surround the small hills, it only takes 40 minutes at most.

So there is actually no way to connect the two points together in this section of the fire belt.

But this firebreak is not without meaning.

Its significance is to shorten the escape distance of trapped people by 400 meters.

In such a forest fire, let alone 400 meters, even 40 meters will be an insurmountable moat.

And Li Xiao's proposal is to forcibly cut a way out in this natural moat.

A survival path that could be as long as 400 meters.

Of course, there is a high probability that this road will not be as long as 400 meters.

Because there is a limit to human physical strength.

In the first 1 minutes, a 10-meter firebreak can be cut.

In the second 2 minutes, you may only be able to cut a distance of 10 meters.

In the fourth 4 minutes, everyone may only be able to cut a distance of 10 meters.

Of course, if the wind continues to increase.

They probably wouldn't exist for a 4th 10 minute job.

It is possible that after working for 30 minutes or even 25 minutes, it is necessary to evacuate immediately.

The reason why Li Xiao encouraged everyone.

Of course not for the purpose of showing off or something.

The main purpose is to give everyone blood.

Let everyone squeeze out the last bit of potential in the body.

It is also to delay the fatigue point of the body as much as possible.

Because every time their speed increases, the shortcut that has been opened up will increase by one point.

Li Xiao didn't want people in the fire scene to be unable to escape because of the distance of one or two meters.

Putting away the thoughts in his heart, his attention continued to fall on the ax in his hand.

one ax

two axes

Another tree, thick as a calf, fell sideways.

The team members responsible for spraying flame-retardant solid foam have returned to the fire truck for the third time.

He picked up a new bucket of flame-retardant foam with both hands, quickly put it on his back, and continued to rush towards the team.

This flame-retardant foam is the same type as the one Li Xiao saw in the hotel last time.

This flame-retardant foam cures quickly when exposed to air.

The cured product can resist burning at a certain temperature for a certain period of time.

But there is also a disadvantage, that is, if the temperature is too high and the burning time is too long, the chemical properties will be quickly destroyed.

Therefore, it can only be used for short-term isolation, and there is no way to form an absolutely safe line of defense.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Zhou Jie's eyes were bloodshot.

His eyes were constantly on the first team where Li Xiao was, and the second team where Zhao Yuan was.

And turn on the screens of the two drones around you.

How much he now hopes that everyone in the first team has three heads and six arms.

In this way, the speed of cutting trees will increase exponentially.

Even if there is no way to grow three heads and six arms, it would be great if each of them could be half as fast as Li Xiao.

But he also understands that this is just his extravagant wish.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was an exclamation from the side:

"Not good! The wind has a tendency to increase!"

"The current wind force is close to level 8.7, and it is expected to break through level 2 within 9 minutes."

"The estimated time to evacuate is only 20 minutes at most!"

Hearing the drone operator's words, Zhou Jie felt a little dark in front of his eyes.

But he bit hard, biting the tip of his tongue.

A stabbing pain immediately woke him up again.

He decisively pressed the intercom in his hand:

"Everyone in the first team is listening, the wind continues to increase."

"You have 18 minutes left for homework, and the last 2 minutes must be evacuated for me, understand?"

"clear·····"

A very disruptive response came over the intercom.

Zhou Jie clenched his teeth tightly.

Li Xiao's proposal is actually very good, and it has a certain chance of success in rescuing people.

But God seems unwilling to fulfill this proposal.

If the wind continues to increase, the time left for firefighters will only become less and less.

The equipment and number of people in the second team are simply not enough to break through such a long barrier.

Is it true that the plan to exchange human lives with the level of wildfires is really going to be declared a failure?

Just when he was restless.

A familiar voice sounded from behind him.

This familiar voice made Zhou Jie, who was originally full of sadness, tremble all over.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

Then ecstasy appeared on his face.

Two drops of hot tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

He quickly wiped the tears off his face with his clothes, for fear that others would find out.

He swore he had never looked forward to seeing support from other squadrons so much.

The time is shortened, but the manpower is increased!

This rescue is sure to win!

Three fire engines rushed to the side of the road quickly.

The firefighters of the three standard teams quickly rushed down from the fire truck.

Before Zhou Jie could stop the car, he rushed to the side of the fire engine.

Looking around, his face showed joy.

He walked quickly to the co-pilot of the leading fire truck, and before he got down from his seat, he hurriedly said:

"Zhao Nan! You guys came just in time, hurry up and cut down the firebreak, time is running out!"
