Chapter 109 Death Gas

Chapter 109 Death Gas

"yes!"

Several security personnel responded in unison, daring to follow Gu Ji into the fire scene.

Thick gray-black smoke was floating everywhere in the air, burning ashes were floating overhead, and random flames were arrogantly devouring everything.

As Gu Ji walked on the hot ground, he could clearly hear the rough breathing coming from the gas mask.

"Huh..."

The wooden tables, chairs, paint, and wall coverings visible to the naked eye were all burned to black.

Just when the security personnel were wondering if there were any living people inside.

"There's someone here!"

Suddenly, a fat security guard shouted, and his companions immediately approached him.

Gu Ji's ears twitched at this moment, and he recognized a cry for help in front of him on the right.

In the ruins, a worker was knocked to the ground by a huge boulder that fell from the explosion. Half of his face was pressed red to the ground, and his throat sounded extremely hoarse due to the smoke. He was unable to speak at all.

"Come help!"

He called out to the pockmarked security guard behind him, and the two of them worked together to push the boulder away.

But as soon as he lifted it up a little, a painful expression appeared on the worker's face. Only then did Gu Ji discover that a steel bar in the boulder had penetrated into the worker's back.

And because of the high temperature of the fire, the outward wounds and blood around the steel bars were so hot that they stuck together.

"Hold on first!"

Gu Ji shouted, took out an army multi-purpose dagger from his pocket, got under the boulder, pressed the boulder with his shoulder, stabbed the knife with his right hand into the wound where the steel bar was inserted, and turned it along the gap.

The pockmarked security guard can feel pain just by looking at him.

As the wound was completely cut away from the steel bar, Gu Ji shouted: "Get ready to lift! One, two, three..."

Poof, the steel bar was pulled out of the worker's body, and there was still a lot of bloody minced meat hanging on it. If he didn't separate the two in advance and pulled it with brute force, it would probably cause a large area of ​​the wound to tear.

The two men carried the injured employee outside while shouting:

"Logistics team, send the injured to the infirmary for treatment immediately!!"

Early in the morning, he arranged for the logistics team to go to the medical room to get a stretcher. He watched as the first batch of firefighters and rescue workers who entered the fire scene came out in batches, and rescued a total of three injured workers.

Seeing the initial success, this group of security guards and workers suddenly became more motivated.

The pockmarked security guard praised excitedly.

"Sir, I can't believe we were able to rescue people from such a terrible fire. You are truly a hero of the Hans Will Empire!"

"Stop flattering me now and prepare for the second round of rescue immediately."

Gu Ji grinned through his gas mask and poured a bucket of water over his head.

Suddenly, a cool feeling spread from head to toe, and the whole person felt very comfortable.

In this way, after three consecutive rounds, five more buried employees were found.

But in the absence of professional equipment, Gu Ji could not enter the core fire scene at all. The temperature inside was too high. Even if he was covered with water, his clothes would become scalding hot as long as he got close for a few seconds, and then no matter the water, Or sweat, it will evaporate quickly.

It can also be seen from this that the automatic fire sprinkler system Goering mentioned is useless. An explosion directly blows up the pipes and machines, and the sprinkler system is gone, let alone the water.

"After carrying this person out, arrange for the front and second lines to be exchanged, and let these brothers rest for a while..."

Gu Ji and Pockmarked were carrying the last wounded person and were preparing to leave the fire scene.

Sudden.

Boom——!

There was a huge noise, which made everyone tremble and almost throw the injured to the ground. Gu Ji thought it was a secondary explosion in the fire scene and hurriedly turned around and shouted:

"Everyone leave as quickly as possible! Quick! Quick!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he carried the wounded man on his back and ran away. The pockmarked man behind him looked dumbfounded. He had to marvel at the physical gap between professional soldiers and ordinary people. He could hardly breathe even wearing a gas mask, but he couldn't carry it for a few seconds. Running alone can still keep breathing steady.

The moment you break out of the fire.

Gu Ji originally planned to look back to see where the secondary explosion occurred, but found that all the security personnel responsible for water supply and rescue around him had all raised their heads and looked to the west.

Following everyone's gaze, he saw a huge column of yellow-green air erupting from the chimney of the factory on the west side, reaching hundreds of meters, and even the cement pipe at the mouth of the chimney was broken.

In an instant, the yellow-green air column quickly swept together with the explosion to form an explosion cloud and heat wave, expanding in the sky at an extremely terrifying speed.

In the space of a few breaths, it was still morning, and the sky above Ludwigshafen, which was sunny, was instantly obscured by strange yellow-black clouds.

They are rolling and galloping, coming from all directions, piling up in piles, getting denser and denser, like thousands of troops pressing down from above, giving people a strong sense of oppression and making people breathless. .

Gu Ji's expression suddenly changed, as if he had returned to the nervousness he felt when he attended Ryder Airport for the first time. A chill ran down his spine, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Quick, quick, arrange for everyone to leave the factory immediately! Immediately!!"

"Sir, this..."

"Hurry up! A chlorine gas mixture is pouring out of the factory!!"

Seeing the group of security personnel still frozen in place, Gu Ji could only yell at the top of his lungs. When he heard the word "chlorine gas", the expressions of those security personnel became even more exaggerated, almost completely distorted, and they drove away without looking back. Those citizens of Hans who were outside the ruins fled.

Yellow-green, will settle.

Gu Ji's first reaction when he saw it was that he thought of chlorine!

Chlorine is yellow-green under normal temperature and pressure. It is a highly toxic gas with a strong pungent odor. It is suffocating and is denser than air.

In modern industry, it is a very common chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, dyes, pesticides, disinfectants, bleaches and various chlorides.

But in the early 19th century, in addition to the chemical industry, it was also used on the battlefield.

This is why the security personnel reacted so violently when they heard the word "chlorine".

Chlorine gas first appeared on the battlefield during World War I.

The Ypres Gas War was the first gas battle in human history. The Hans Army used chlorine gas for the first time to attack, thus opening the door to hell. This green gas is irritating and corrosive and corrosive to the human body. It is very serious and can end a person's life by corroding the respiratory tract.

It can be said that as long as you breathe, you will die!

Throughout World War I, a total of more than 50,000 tons of poison gas were used in the war, directly causing more than 85,000 deaths, more than 1 million people being poisoned, and the sequelae of injuries lasting for decades.

Although countries were restricted by nationality laws during World War II and did not dare to use poison gas rashly, its horrific lethality still left a deep psychological shadow on the military and civilians.

Gu Ji also ran outside with the injured employee on his back.

But this chlorine gas is too scary. It is like a discolored version of the blood cloud formation of the Youquan Blood Demon in "The Legend of Shushan". It is overwhelming and falling downwards, seeming to swallow up all the life in the entire city!

I finally ran to the gate of the East District factory.

He saw that Luca and Eugen were organizing employees and people to evacuate. Even Luca, who was an ace division unit, saw horror in his pupils when he saw the increasingly dense yellow-green gas in the sky.

Gu Ji handed the injured employee to the infirmary and shouted.

"Where's Ler? I asked him to find Göring, but why didn't he prevent the gas from erupting and leaking?"

"Leer hasn't come back yet."

Luca suppressed the fear in his heart, "Herman, these gases are..."

"Yes, it's chlorine."

Even though Gu Ji didn't want to cause panic, he had to explain the serious situation at hand, because even if he didn't, the security personnel who ran out were shouting, "Intensify the evacuation immediately. Are the military and police forces coming? Panic It will be spread to the whole city soon, we need more manpower!”

Luka shook his head.

And at this moment, I don’t know who shouted first.

"Get out of my way! Why are you still here! There is a poisonous gas leak! Run!"

"Ah!! Those yellow-green ones are poison gas?"

"Run!"

"Get out of the way, damn, don't get in my way!"

"Dad...wuwu..."

…

This news was like a powerful bomb, completely exploding in the crowd. The crowd didn't look like they were watching the fun before. They fled in panic like birds and animals. The crowd pushed each other, and a thin Hans woman because Unable to resist the force, he stepped on a falling rock and accidentally lost his balance and fell.

As soon as she fell, the crowd behind her also tripped over her body and fell to the ground.

Then, like dominoes, many people fell and fell on top of each other, and nearly a thousand workers and civilians gathered near the entrance of the production base.

Roaring, screaming, crying for help.

All kinds of sounds were in chaos, but the panicked crowd behind them were still pressing forward, trying to leave this terrifying factory as soon as possible.

There's a stampede! !

"If someone is going to die, Luca, arrange for personnel to control the scene immediately!"

Gu Ji rushed past the two of them like lightning, quickly climbed up the iron fence of the factory with his limbs like a monkey, stood up with his feet clamped on the top, took out the pistol from his waist, bang bang bang!

Three shots were fired.

"Everyone, look at me! Look at me! Stop squeezing immediately! Stop squeezing! Those who fall must not face up. They should lie down on the ground and huddle up, protecting their heads. Anyone who has difficulty breathing should cross their arms immediately. Stand on your chest, listen to me, and trip people..."

Compared with when he caused panic at the cruise ship level, Gu Ji now has stronger crisis handling capabilities.

He draws the crowd's attention and attention with his gunfire and standing on top.

Some panicked people who had difficulty breathing or fell to the ground heard his method and followed it, and found it really useful.

And at this time.

Luca also quickly arranged for security personnel to rush into the crowd, use sticks to drive away the squeezers from behind, and clear the scene as quickly as possible.

Gu Ji stood at a high position and discovered that the original cause of the congestion was that a large number of troops, military police and fire brigade rushed to the scene in the distance but were blocked by civilian vehicles.

He jumped down from the fence and walked angrily to Eugen.

"What did I tell you? You were asked to clear a hundred meters around the accident, especially leaving enough passages for the military, police and fire fighters to enter, but you left those vehicles alone?"

"I, I, sir, don't have enough time. I have tried my best to arrange personnel management, but the civilians just don't obey..."

Eugen lowered his head innocently.

At this time, a passage was cleared for the crowd. It turned out that the military and government police intervened and cooperated with Luca and others to forcefully reverse the stampede.

Two middle-aged men in black suits and an officer rushed in.

One of them had silver round eyes and a silver middle-parted hair. He asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Who fired the gun just now?"

"I."

Gu Ji didn't look timid and stood directly in front of the man.

The middle-parted man squinted his eyes and glanced at the Black Cross on his collar, "What's your name, and which unit do you belong to?"

"Herman, transferred by the Lebudas Command Headquarters, is responsible for investigating the enemy bombing incident in Ludwigshafen."

"So you are Herman, and you asked the sentry to notify you of the alarm?"

"right."

"I am Otto, deputy mayor of the city hall, and this is the commander-in-chief of the Defense Forces, the general inspector-general of construction, and the inspector-general of labor."

While Otto was speaking, he happened to see the wounded being carried out by the logistics medical staff, with a look of shock in his eyes.

"You directed all this?"

"Sir Luca is the commander-in-chief, and I am the executor."

Gu Ji did not forget that the captain was Luka.

Otto glanced at the second lieutenant who was maintaining order. Obviously, anyone who was not a fool could see that the man in front of him, the sergeant, was the real commander.

But he did not delve into this point. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the falling green gas in the sky, with a stern look on his face.

"Thank you and Chief Luka for everything you have done. Now we will leave this place to us and let the fire brigade go in and rescue people."

"etc."

Gu Ji glanced at the "fully armed" firefighters at the rear of the army, wearing black helmets, uniforms, gas masks, and holding water guns. He paused for half a second:

"Where is the chemical defense force? Didn't I ask the sentry to notify the chemical observation tower?"

"It's just a chlorine gas leak, not a poison gas war. It won't require the dispatch of chemical defense troops. Don't worry, the government fire brigade can also handle this incident..."

Before Otto could finish speaking.

Gu Ji interrupted:

"Then I would like to ask if the Labor Inspector General knows the scale of production at BASF's production base. I just visited the East District factory yesterday. If I remember correctly, there is a huge diaphragm chlorine production plant near the synthetic rubber factory. There are not only There was a lot of chlorine gas, hydrogen chloride mist, and sulfuric acid."

"In other words, this is not just a chlorine leak, but a mixed gas leak. Secondly, the main filler in the M38 gas mask made by Hans is activated carbon. If the chlorine concentration per liter of air only reaches 1/200, at most I can last 29 minutes.”

"This does not rule out the additional power brought by the mixed gas. You must know that concentrated sulfuric acid gas and hydrogen chloride gas are extremely chemically corrosive. They will not only cause suffocation, but also burn the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes. .”

"The journey from the east gate of the production base to the chlorine production plant takes 10 minutes to go back and forth if you are familiar with the road conditions. In other words, the firefighters only have 19 minutes to find the chlorine leak and close it. Can they do it?"

After a few words, not only Otto but also several inspectors general were confused.

Even the fire chief who was about to rush up behind him stayed where he was.

Luka pursed his lips and tried to smile. It seemed that he had long been accustomed to this boy's knowledgeable ability and had gradually become immune to it.

Only Eugen frowned slightly.

Vice Mayor Otto didn't know whether it was because Gu Ji's words were surprising or because the matter was too serious, he was so shocked that he stuttered.

"You, how do you know this so clearly?"

“I was born in Ludwigshafen since I was a child, and last night I just checked the technical manual for the BASF production site!”
