Chapter 494 Witnessing a Medical Miracle
Xue Ze looked at Bai Yuan in surprise, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.
Although he didn't know why the CEO's office caught fire, could such a thing be said in such a calm tone? !
He knows these three words, so why can't he understand them when they are put together?
After he went over the three words "fire" in his mind, quickly digested and understood what had happened, his heart suddenly tightened.
The whole person tensed up instantly.
Xue Ze had just slipped away from his agent and partners, and took the elevator secretly among the crowd to the fifth floor to find Bai Yuan. He didn't know that Zhou Sheng and Bai Yuan had gotten lost and were now waiting for the elevator on the first floor.
The first reaction was that their company’s CEO Zhou was still trapped in the fire.
At that moment, Xue Ze didn't have time to think too much, his body had already reacted instinctively on behalf of his brain.
He first grabbed Bai Yuan's wrist, took a step forward and pulled her behind him, then quickly reached for the door handle, eager to open the door immediately:
"in--"
"There's no one inside. Zhou Sheng isn't here." Bai Yuan said, slipping her wrist out of his hand and then raising her hand to hold down his left hand that was about to open the door. "Don't open the door rashly. Be careful that oxygen will flow in and aggravate the fire, causing it to reignite."
At this time of year, the steamer-like temperature in Haiqi City shows no signs of subsiding, and the air conditioners are running 24 hours a day.
Whether it is a residential building, office building, or other place, in order to provide a cool environment to escape the heat, people will choose to close doors and windows so that the air conditioner can cool down more effectively and drive away the scorching heat.
The president's office faces the sun on three sides and has large floor-to-ceiling windows that provide plenty of light. Even if Zhou Sheng is stupid, he would not leave the modern air-conditioning unused. Instead, he would open the windows to let in the heat that is 3 to 5 degrees hotter than inside the house.
In this case, the windows of the office must be closed at this time. With the door also closed, an enclosed space is naturally formed.
The air inside is not circulating and the oxygen content tends to a fixed value. Even if there is an open flame burning inside, it is limited to the president's office and will not spread to other places in a short time.
When the oxygen in the fire scene is consumed to a certain extent, the fire may be weakened.
However, if you rashly open the door at this time, not only will the oxygen concentration be restored and the fire be instantly intensified, it may even cause an explosion, which is the so-called backdraft phenomenon.
It will also allow air flow to form convection, causing flames and high-temperature smoke to spread along the direction of the new air outlet, thereby expanding the combustion range.
Therefore, it is not a wise choice to open the door rashly now.
As an artist, Xue Ze often needs to go to various occasions and participate in various activities. Sometimes, in order to liven up the atmosphere, organizers will use dry ice and jet flames to add to the fun.
We have also trained others on fire safety and explained what the ash combustion phenomenon is, so they are not unfamiliar with it.
But even though he had learned it, Xue Ze had never encountered any accidents in all his many years of stage experience, and the knowledge had long been rusted and overgrown in his mind. Faced with this sudden situation, he was unable to react for a while. He didn't expect that this was also normal.
Now, after this reminder, Xue Ze quickly figured out the reason and understood the interests involved.
The stubborn teammate who didn't hold back and thought "you'll die if you try" took his hand off the door handle obediently.
At this time, black smoke had begun to come out of the door and it was unknown how far the fire had spread.
Outside the door, Bai Yuan was in deep thought, while Xue Ze stood there watching Bai Yuan lost in thought.
Perhaps it was because of seeing Bai Yuan's calm expression despite facing a huge crisis, Xue Ze's sense of urgency gradually faded away.
Even out of his instinctive trust in Bai Yuan, he gave up thinking and handed his brain to Bai Yuan for supervision, and asked in an obedient manner:
"So what are we going to do now... call the police? Put out the fire? Run?"
"No need to run." Bai Yuan judged, "I've heard that the fire sprinkler inside hasn't been triggered, which means the fire is not yet big enough to be out of control. Don't open the door yet. There is a fire extinguisher in the corridor. Take it and spray it around the crack of the door to prevent it from spreading. I'll call the police."
Bai Yuan remained calm in the face of danger and gave instructions with clear division of labor.
Xue Ze did not suspect anything. He quickly ran over to pick up the two fire extinguishers under the fire hydrant and placed them on the ground with two bangs.
Bai Yuan gave instructions while dialing the phone:
"Pull out the safety pin, shake the bottle, and aim the nozzle at the crack of the door..."
Xue Ze quickly pulled out the safety pin and followed Bai Yuan's instructions to perform each step. He even had time to ask:
"How do you know so clearly?"
"I learned it when I was a kid," Bai Yuan replied. "At that time, a friend of mine set the house on fire while playing with fire. Since then, we have held fire drills every year in our courtyard."
Xue Ze was speechless and said: "...That's pretty impressive."
Damn it! ! !
Awesome! ! !
Bai Yuan's friend Wei, who played with fire and set the house on fire, is still working hard like a slave to repay the huge debt that was burned down at home.
Soon, Xue Ze had finished shaking the bottle vigorously, and the call that Bai Yuan had made was still waiting to be connected.
At this moment, the door to the stairwell in the corridor was slammed open. Zhou Sheng let go of the handrail he had been holding on to, walked into the corridor with difficulty, and breathed a sigh of relief:
"I finally made it up, but I'm so tired. Who on earth is occupying my elevator? Huh... Tomorrow I'll force someone to install a special elevator next to it. I don't believe it won't be used. Climbing these five floors took me a long time... Huh, huh..."
As Zhou Sheng spoke, he walked along the corridor towards his office with trembling legs.
His legs have only grown back two days ago!!!
After walking a few steps, Zhou Sheng, whose eyes were blurry from exhaustion, saw two people standing at the door of his office from afar.
I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully, and was happy:
"Little sister! Why don't you come in? I closed the door and locked it for you when I left."
He walked towards her while waving, without even looking closely at who was standing next to Bai Yuan, and said cheerfully:
"Is this the locksmith you asked for? I'll find you a key later. Hiss—Ouch!"
After walking only two steps, Zhou Sheng suddenly tripped without warning and cried out in pain: "I sprained my ankle, little sister, come and help me, you——"
"Hello——" The sound of Bai Yuan's cell phone being connected overlapped with Zhou Sheng's voice.
The next second, without any warning, an accident occurred.
The fire sprinkler, which had not been triggered, suddenly started to work, and loud metallic sounds and the beeping sound of water pouring water on the fire were heard in the president's office.
Almost at the same time, the fire alarm was triggered. A sharp whistle accompanied by a dramatic doomsday-like flash of red light instantly resounded and ignited the entire Shenghua Entertainment Company building.
"Oh no! It's on fire!"
It happened in a flash. Zhou Sheng, who had been limping with his sick body just now, became alert in an instant, and took his hands off to support the wall and his old waist.
As if witnessing a medical miracle, he quickly took off his suit jacket and threw it into the ornamental fish tank in the corridor and stirred it a few times.
He fished out the suit that had absorbed water, rushed to Bai Yuan, and covered Bai Yuan's head with the wet and dripping coat.
The weight of the water and clothes almost made Bai Yuan fall to his knees.
Then, Zhou Sheng grabbed Bai Yuan's wrist and shouted:
"Little sister! Run!!!"
After saying that, he pulled Bai Yuan and ran at a speed of 180 miles per hour, his legs swinging like fire wheels, without any sign of having just sprained his ankle and broken bones.
He rushed into the stairwell whose door was still open, and disappeared into the corridor and stairwell on the fifth floor with a "thump thump thump" sound.
Only Xue Ze was left standing there, forgotten, holding a fire extinguisher and preparing to spray the crack in the door. He listened to the clear and gradually fading footsteps that went from the fifth floor to the first floor until they could no longer be heard.
In the corridor where red lights were flashing and sirens were honking, a question mark slowly appeared.
Xue Ze:?
Twenty minutes later.
Bai Yuan sat in the back of the ambulance, wrapped in a comfort blanket, with an expressionless face but extremely low spirits as he wiped his wet hair bit by bit, waiting for Zhou Sheng's beautiful assistant to get clean replacement clothes.
Zhou Sheng pulled the doctor in the ambulance, trying to stop them from lifting him onto a stretcher. He held the doctor's hand and led him towards Bai Yuan.
Zhou Sheng: "Doctor, doctor! Check on my little sister! She was the first one to find the fire. Please check her carefully a few times to make sure the smoke doesn't damage her brain! My little sister is a genius, an excellent student, she still has to-"
The doctor held Zhou Sheng's hand and soothed him, "Take a deep breath. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale...Are you calm now? Your ankle is injured. Don't walk. You've had a fracture before, right? Does your hip hurt? If it hurts, we suspect it's a fracture. It took two people several times to carry him onto a stretcher. Patient, please cooperate with us and don't hinder our work."
Zhou Sheng yelled, "I'm not sick! I'm not sick! Let me go!! I'm not sick!!! Look at my little sister!!!!!!"
Bai Yuan, wrapped in a blanket, turned around inconspicuously and wrung the water from the corners of her clothes. She didn't really want to have anything to do with Zhou Sheng at the moment.
Although Zhou Sheng's feat of "saving people from the fire" and quickly dragging Bai Yuan down the fifth-floor stairs and escaping from the "fire" within fifteen seconds deserves praise.
But in an emergency, in order to prevent smoke and dust from entering Bai Yuan's mouth and nose, he used water from the fish tank to wet the coat covering Bai Yuan's head.
Even though Zhou Sheng had repeatedly promised that the water in the tank was clean water that had been changed this morning and had not been fed with fish food.
But when he thought of the three big koi carps jumping around in there, Bai Yuan felt like he was seafood just fished up from the bottom of the sea.
The smell of the sea from head to toe.
The fire alarm sounded for less than ten minutes in total, and before all employees in the building had safely evacuated, it returned to calm.
This means two things.
1. The source of fire disappears.
When the infrared detector senses that the fire has been extinguished and there is no open flame, it automatically turns off the fire alarm and declares the crisis over.
Second, the fire was too strong.
It had reached an uncontrollable level, melting the infrared sensors and other wires, causing the building's power system to collapse and paralyze. Naturally, the alarm could no longer continue.
However, the second situation is often accompanied by a local explosion, at which point thick smoke and flames can be seen from the bottom of the building.
But at this moment, there was nothing else in the burnt windows of the president's office on the fifth floor except the gray smoke that was getting smaller and smaller.
It is not difficult to guess that it is the first possibility.
I guess either the fire was put out by the fire sprinkler, or Xue Ze, who was holding a fire extinguisher at the door, put out the flames.
In short, the fire was discovered in time, and because Bai Yuan handled it properly when he discovered it, it was extinguished early before it could burn.
But the noise was not small at all.
For various reasons that I won't go into detail, there were seven or eight fire trucks parked downstairs, and ambulances and police cars were lined up in a haphazard row, attracting a lot of onlookers passing by.
After the final statistics, the number of people trapped and injured in the fire was zero. The workers didn't even see a spark, they ran up and down in a daze, with a lot of questions in their heads but they didn't even know where the fire was.
The only person who got injured was Zhou Sheng, who got leg cramps from climbing the stairs and fell. The adrenaline rush led Bai Yuan to "go down a hundred flights of stairs if you're a man", which eventually led to him running too fast and injuring his cervical spine, and his leg bones that had just healed were cracked.
——is currently trying to refuse to be put into the ambulance and bargaining with the doctor for a wheelchair.
From an abstract perspective:
Once both feet are off the ground, the virus is shut down and nothing can go up. Smart IQ takes over the high ground again.
Although no one was injured or killed in Shenghua Entertainment except Zhou Sheng, the fire was put out in time before the fire truck arrived.
But the police cars and fire trucks could not leave yet, and the firefighters put on protective clothing and prepared to enter the fire to find out what was going on.
We can't just die like this without knowing why!
Always know where the problem lies and what caused the fire.
Check if there are any potential safety hazards or if fire prevention work is not done properly.
It's also good to nip it in the bud and prevent such incidents from happening again.
Once the facts are discovered, those who should be fined will be fined, and those who need to be improved will be improved.
Anyone who deliberately sets fire will be arrested and sentenced.
Shenghua Entertainment is such a large company and is also one of the most watched entertainment circles. Once the news gets out, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
At that time, a reasonable explanation must be given to all the people who care about this matter.
The firefighters quickly put on their protective clothing and entered the fire scene in groups of several people in an orderly manner.
Coincidentally, at this time, Zhou Sheng's beautiful secretary also brought new clothes to Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan carried the shopping bags into the building and borrowed a changing room. After putting on her new clothes, she threw away the fishy-smelling clothes on her body and smelled her half-dry hair.
——I didn’t blow it dry because the smell would come up when the wind blew.
Bai Yuan, who urgently needed to take several hot showers inside and out and use up half a bottle of shampoo and shower gel, did not intend to stay for a second longer and put away the invitation letter with wet edges.
Bai Yuan held the bank card given by Xue Ze in his hand. He walked straight to Zhou Sheng, who had successfully asked for a wheelchair, and handed the bank card to him.
