Chapter 12

Looking at the raging fire inside the construction site, Xiao Sheng, standing by the car door, couldn't help but frown! It had been nearly half an hour since the incident began, and there were hardly any flammable materials on the construction site of the building. Even if the workers' dormitories were set on fire, how much bedding and clothing could there be to burn for so long?

Sniffing the asphalt smell in the air, perhaps Xiao Sheng had found the answer! But at that moment, he was not yet sure. He followed closely behind Chen Shuyuan, walking forward. The woman who was crying her heart out was still leaning forward, ready to rush into the fire. A police officer was hugging her, trying to persuade her with great effort, and there were many police officers and doctors around her.

Chen Shuyuan walked straight to a female police officer in uniform and asked urgently:

"Captain Wang, how is the situation now?" Hearing someone call her, the beautiful female police officer, who was standing in the crowd, turned her head sharply. When she saw Chen Shuyuan, she quickly walked up to her, pulled her aside, and answered anxiously:

"Ms. Chen, the situation is not very good. The reason the fire hasn't been extinguished is that the asphalt and tar used for waterproofing the roof are also burning. You know, once asphalt and tar catch fire, they are very difficult to put out! Most of the employees have been rescued, and this female worker was thought to be the last one. However, today she brought her child to the construction site. With the fire so fierce now, the possibility of the firefighters rushing in is very small. We are trying to find a solution."

"Trying to find a solution? The toxic gases and the intense heat from the burning asphalt and tar can kill a person. By the time you find a solution, the person will be cooked!" Xiao Sheng, who had rushed to Chen Shuyuan's side, put his hands on his waist, frowned, and replied. His words were suddenly interrupted by the female police officer, who turned to look at Xiao Sheng but did not get angry, as what he said was true.

"We are all aware of what this comrade said, but rushing in now would create unnecessary danger, and besides..."

"Alright, alright, I understand!" After saying this, Xiao Sheng took off his coat, held it in his hand, and pointed at the female police officer, asking:

"Can you guarantee the safety of my boss Chen?"

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Of course, I..."

"Enough, Ms. Chen, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back!" With that, Xiao Sheng walked straight to the fire truck. On the way, he spoke into the microphone with a serious expression:

"Scout, follow the employer closely, I'm going to handle this..."

"Scout received, within visual range, everything is normal!" The默契 (默契 means默契, but in this context, it can be translated as "rapport" or "understanding") developed through countless battles and life-and-death situations made Xiao Sheng feel more at ease after hearing the scout's words. He quickly walked to the fire truck, picked up a bucket of cold water, and drenched himself from head to toe. He then soaked his coat again. After doing all this, Xiao Sheng turned and ran to the woman, carefully asking about the location of her child, and then dashed towards the construction site!

Chen Shuyuan, standing there and shouting Xiao Sheng's name, was extremely tense. Her heart raced as Xiao Sheng's agile figure approached the fire. Even the female police officer standing beside her was trembling!

The female police officer, regaining her composure, quickly ran a few steps forward and shouted to the firefighters:

"Pour water in the direction that comrade is running..." Just as the female police officer shouted this, Xiao Sheng, who had nimbly climbed over a two-meter-high wall, jumped directly into the fire from the nearest point. As his figure disappeared, Chen Shuyuan and everyone in front of the construction site held their breaths.

The thick black smoke became the biggest obstacle for Xiao Sheng's advance. After jumping into the fire, he used his soaked clothes to quickly move through the flames. The scorching asphalt and tar under his feet, which felt like mud, burned his soles. Xiao Sheng, unable to stay in one place for more than a few seconds, leaped around like a wild monkey in the mountains.

The foam-filled metal doors of the dormitory partitions had melted into a mass, and the dripping molten metal tested Xiao Sheng's agility! The pungent smell made Xiao Sheng feel suffocated, and he searched the entire dormitory area like a headless fly.

With a 'bang,' the framework of the dormitory, which had been supporting it, suddenly collapsed. The people outside, including the woman who had been crying, were gripped with anxiety, silently praying for Xiao Sheng's safety. The woman, who had been crying, was stunned, finally realizing the danger of the construction site.

The scorching metal burned blisters on Xiao Sheng's arm. Dodging the falling debris, Xiao Sheng made another dash towards the last line of fire. He kicked open the metal door, which was stuck together by the asphalt. As the door collapsed, Xiao Sheng was delighted to see a seven or eight-year-old boy lying diagonally in a water barrel. The water pipes, which had been used for drinking, had burst and split, and the continuous flow of water had indirectly saved the boy's life!

Without hesitation, Xiao Sheng rushed inside, wrapped the boy, who had been knocked unconscious by the smoke, in his extremely wet coat, and held him tightly. He then ran out of the construction site at full speed.

Time ticked by, and it had been nearly ten minutes since Xiao Sheng entered. During these ten minutes, the firefighters had been working紧张 (紧张 means "tense" or "anxiously") and the project manager had run to Chen Shuyuan to report, but Chen Shuyuan, who was worried about Xiao Sheng, had no interest in listening to the report. As long as everyone was safe, that was all that mattered. Xiao Sheng's sudden, determined turn had completely won the hearts of everyone present, including Chen Shuyuan, who had already put aside her grudges against him.

Just as everyone was on edge, they suddenly saw a figure run through the layers of fire and quickly approach the construction site. With a roar, everyone on the scene erupted in excitement!

"Doctor, doctor, quick, quick, carbon dioxide poisoning, perform emergency treatment..." With Xiao Sheng's earth-shattering roar, the medical staff at the construction site became agitated again. The woman who had just been rescued, overjoyed, stood up, but when she tried to rush to Xiao Sheng's side, she found herself too weak to move.

Xiao Sheng, who looked like an African due to the smoke, was panicked. The medical staff who took the boy from him could still feel the intense heat from his body. Xiao Sheng carefully placed the boy on the stretcher and followed the doctor to the ambulance.
