Far away in Moscow

Chapter 123
Stumbling onto the sidewalk, Hu Yi discovered that an unknown number of ambulances had been parked along the side of the road, and all the roofs of the ambulances were silently flashing blue lights, and the end could not be seen from a distance, but the fire truck Only this one in front of me.

"It's on fire! Come and help!" Hu Yi shouted at the firefighters beside the car: "Hurry up!"

The firefighters were struggling to remove the fire suction hose from the car and connect it. They didn't speak, but just nodded.Maybe he said something, but Hu Yi didn't hear it.

"Why don't you drive in!" Hu Yi blurted out anxiously, but soon realized that this was nonsense. The school dormitory was surrounded by iron fences, and the small door next to it could only barely allow small vehicles to enter and exit, and fire engines could not enter. here.

"Hurry up! Please hurry up!" Hu Yi stamped his feet anxiously and shouted: "Is there only one car?"

"There's only one here!" The firefighter finally connected the suction pipe, picked up a difficult head and dragged it towards the direction of the fire: "The other cars are looking for the entrance!"

"Do you want to drag this thing over?" Hu Yi was taken aback, and hurried forward to hug the water pipe to help.But the surface of the water pipe was already covered with ice, and as soon as his two hands touched the wall of the pipe, he felt a strong sense of stickiness, and quickly retracted.

"Are you the only firefighter?" Hu Yi was anxious, and simply bent his elbows, clamped the water pipe tightly with his arms and body, and dragged him forward step by step.

The fireman said something out of breath, but he turned his back to him. Hu Yi didn't hear it clearly, and didn't have the mood to ask any more. He just pulled the water pipe with all his strength.

There is a distance of more than 6 meters from the roadside to Building 50, but it is not easy for two people to drag a frozen fire suction pipe in the ice and snow, not to mention that the water pipe is very long.Fortunately, just halfway through, other students rushed over to help, and everyone hurriedly dragged the water pipe to the front of the building.

"Quick! Water! Start! Launch!" Hu Yi said indiscriminately, pointing at the fire scene and yelling.

Not a drop of water.The firefighter raised his head bitterly and glanced at the raging fire in front of him, turned around and ran back: "It may be frozen, I'll go and have a look!"

"What???" The students who had just seen Hope froze in place, and some fell to their knees, crying bitterly.

The fire started to spread to the fourth floor.But the smoke obviously filled the interior of the entire staircase first.On the fourth and fifth floors, people opened windows and shouted in panic, and people could clearly see black smoke wafting from their rooms.

Some people jumped directly from the fourth floor, and some were scrambling by the window to tie ropes with sheets to prepare for escape. Unfortunately, the escape ropes made in a hurry were not ideal. Some of them were not long enough, some were not strong enough, and some students were not strong enough. , when climbing in mid-air, he missed and fell down, but finally greatly reduced the height of the fall.

There were hundreds of preparatory students living in Building No. 6. When everyone jumped out of the window to escape, the downstairs quickly became a mess, and many people even fell on the students who landed first.

There are many ambulances parked on the side of the road, but the number of medical staff is extremely insufficient in the face of this disaster.Only a very small number of dying people received on-site treatment, and a small number of seriously injured people were carried away one after another.Most of the people who jumped out from the east side could only be temporarily transferred by the students to the lobby of Building 8 nearby.

The scene was extremely chaotic, Hu Yi continued to look for Xiang Nan anxiously while helping the injured.

Did not see her shadow.

Xia Yan and Caihua were still shouting at the top of their lungs. Hu Yi looked up, and the snow was still heavy.

The snow around the fire is falling, and the snow around the fire is floating up.

Those aren't snow, they're white ash from burning.

Falling snowflakes, flying ashes, rising flames, howling wind, painful wailing, crying crowd, and students jumping off one after another.

This is everything in front of Hu Yi now.He raised his head and stared blankly at Xiang Nan's room on the third floor, and shouted in despair with all his remaining strength: "Xiang Nan!!!!!!"

Xiang Nan was woken up by the smoke coming in from the crack in the door.

The two girls in the same room also woke up almost at the same time.In a daze, they found that the room was glowing red, and flames were dancing outside the window.

"Fire!" The three shouted in unison.

The corridor quickly became chaotic, with the sound of opening the door, coughing, and screaming.Xiang Nan turned over in a hurry and got out of bed, and jumped up as soon as her feet hit the ground.

The floor is hot.

"Run!" The tall girl in the same room screamed, and flew over to open the door, and a puff of black smoke came in immediately.

The three of them covered their mouths and noses and coughed loudly.The tall girl slammed the door shut and shouted back, "Towels! Water!"

Fortunately, there is still unfinished bottled water in the room.Taking advantage of the firelight outside the window, they hurriedly covered their mouths with wet towels, opened the door again and rushed out.

There was smoke outside the door.The school management insisted on painting Building No. 6 every year, which finally contributed to the final evil at the moment of disaster.

Layer after layer of paint on the wall immediately began to volatilize irritating and toxic gases when heated, and produced a lot of smoke when burning. Many inexperienced students fainted after running a few steps in the smoke in panic. ground, lost consciousness.

At this time, several rooms on the third floor were already on fire, but the fire was not serious. Most of the thick smoke came up from the second floor, and it was continuously drifting towards the middle through the stairs at both ends of the corridor.

Xiang Nan and the others tightly covered their mouths and noses, beat on the closed doors of several neighbors around them desperately, shouted: "Fire! Fire!" Then they ran towards the main staircase which was closer.

A lot of panicked students had already gathered at the stairway. They were going to go downstairs to escape, but the people in front of them suffocated and fell to the ground after only taking a few steps.The flames made the black smoke in the stairs extremely thick and frightening. The remaining students didn't know which floor the fire started from, nor did they know how the fire was going downstairs, so they didn't dare to go down rashly.Someone turned and ran upstairs, trying to wait for rescue in a safe place.

The dark corridor was filled with the cries of women from all over the world. Xiang Nan couldn't find the two roommates for a while, so he had to follow the crowd to the fourth floor in a panic.

After climbing a few steps, a group of people ran down the stairs and met the people on the third floor.The two sides urged each other to turn around, but it was difficult for the newly arrived preparatory students to communicate effectively in unfamiliar Russian in such a chaotic scene, so they could only yell to their compatriots in various languages.

Some people on the third floor started to turn around and run down, while others insisted on continuing to move forward.Xiang Nan was leaning against the wall, at a loss, when he suddenly saw Old Jiang running down by the light of the fire.

"Uncle Jiang! Uncle Jiang! Don't come down! You can't go down the second floor! The third floor is also on fire!" Xiang Nan screamed loudly.

"The fourth floor is on fire too! Don't go up! Listen to me!" Lao Jiang covered his wet clothes and rushed to Nan and waved vigorously: "The fire engine hasn't come yet! Even if it comes, it won't be able to save so many people Now the whole building is full of smoke, if you stay in the building, you will die! Quick! Quick!"

Xiang Nan's heart trembled, and then he was pushed by Lao Jiang and staggered back to the corridor, turned around and shouted: "Then what should I do!"

"Yan go up! Get down! Find a place to jump!" Old Jiang glanced at the second floor, dragged Xiang Nan and ran to the middle of the corridor: "The fourth floor is too high! You can only jump on the third floor Already!"
