Chapter 312 One hour of life and death

Chapter 312 One hour of life and death

"Something's wrong, chemical gas seems to have started to leak!"

"Han Detachment! Han Detachment!"

Gu Ji pointed to the patch of yellow-green gas hovering at the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing this, Wang Yuexi hurriedly called Han Yue.

He picked up the telescope, observed it carefully for a while, and said with a serious face: "Bian Shizhang is right, the chemical gas tanks have begun to leak on a large scale. The current chemical plant is simply a poison den. The security team, the gas masks we carry How many do you have?"

"There are 76 left in total."

The support team is responsible for supporting all equipment and materials of the rescue team.

"The effective safety time of the FMJ08 gas mask is about 40 minutes, and the maximum use time is about 1 hour, and we don't have professional chemical protective clothing..."

The meaning of Han Yue's words is obvious.

Because on average, each person can only get one mask at most, so their maximum rescue time is only one hour, otherwise they will face the erosion of chemical gas.

The Lahore metropolitan area is the industrial and chemical center of Pakistan.

The Descon Chemical Plant is one of the giants of Pakistan's domestic chemical industry. Although its scale is certainly not as large as that of BASF in World War II, it still stores nearly 2,000 tons of sulfur, as well as hundreds of tons of liquefied chlorine and liquefied petroleum. gas tank.

Not to mention the continuous release of corrosive poisonous gas.

Once the LPG tank explodes or the sulfur storage warehouse burns, they won't even have a chance to escape!

"When distributing FMJ08 gas masks, priority must be given to ensuring the supply of canisters for rescue dogs."

"clear!"

After Han Yue gave the order, the support team immediately took out gas masks one by one from their backpacks and distributed them to all rescue team members, including the six rescue dogs.

FMJ08 is one of the gas masks currently in active service in the domestic military.

It can be seen as a combination of the British SAS special forces S10, domestic FMJ03, FMJ05 and other masks. It is made of chlorobutyl rubber and silicone rubber. This is also the difference between military gas masks and civilian fire masks. That is it The material is not resistant to high temperatures.

In the event of a fire, silicone will easily bake, especially chlorobutyl rubber, which is highly irritating to the skin.

But military gas masks are more chemically resistant and airtight.

The entire FMJ08 is black, with two transparent viewing lenses on the top, and three ports on the left, middle and right below, which are the auxiliary intercom, the exhalation valve with a drinking port, and the canister interface.

The military version of the canister is filled with high-quality activated carbon-catalyst and high-efficiency filter paper, which can filter various toxic gases, organic vapors and particle aerosols except carbon monoxide with low resistance.

Gu Ji put his and Xiao Jian's gas masks on their bodies.

Then he and Wang Yuexi continued to rush down the mountain.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to go up the mountain, it's hard to go down the mountain." Especially the slopes that have been ravaged by the earthquake are extremely steep, which is a great test for the knees and center of gravity control.

Along the way, two members of the technical team had already slipped and broken their arms and heads.

So in the end Han Yue ordered to use a rope to descend the mountain.

When he reached the mountainside, Xiao Jian began to roar loudly and stopped, showing a strong unwillingness to get closer.

Gu Ji knew in his heart that it must have smelled poisonous gas.

Because canines have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans, they are naturally more susceptible to poisonous gas corrosion.

So he put an FMJ08 dog mask on Xiao Jian, which made the guy willing to continue down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Gu Ji also felt a burning sensation in his nasal cavity.

He endured the pungent smell in the air and turned around to report: "Han Detachment, the concentration of chlorine in the air is already very high."

"Everyone, put on your gas masks and prepare to enter the factory for rescue. Remember, we only have one hour, so we must move quickly and efficiently. When the time is up, everyone must evacuate the poison gas range. Do you hear me clearly? "

"heard it!"

Everyone stretched their necks and shouted.

The next second, everyone put on black gas masks.

The moment he took off his safety helmet and put it on his face, the field of vision in front of Gu Ji immediately divided into two ovals. His inhalation became slightly blocked, and his breathing sound sounded particularly heavy in the mask.

Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to the chemical industry level of World War II.

As everyone approached the factory, the first thing they saw was not the crumbling buildings that had been damaged by the earthquake, but the chemical storage tanks that sprayed gas into the sky. Some of them sprayed white thick fog, and some Chlorine, a yellow-green gas, was sprayed, and some pipelines were directly distorted.

Faintly, everyone could even see one or two "corpses" wearing gray chemical plant uniforms lying among the ruins and pipe valves.

But fortunately, the chlorine leak in front of us is not as exaggerated as the BASF factory that blocks the sky. So far, there is only a slight yellowing in the air.

Gu Ji took Xiao Jian with him and immediately entered the search state.

Others obviously did not adapt as quickly as him. Although they usually trained in chemical gas leak rescue training, it was just a drill after all, and there was still a big gap between it and real actual combat.

Especially when they personally feel the strong stimulation from the exposed skin on their necks, wrists, etc., the pain from the body, the pressure of the poisonous gas, and the unknown caused by the blocked vision, they will instinctively The heart rate is elevated and you feel nervous.

"Team Han, two Pakistani workers were found here. They are still alive, but fell into a coma. They were probably knocked out by poison gas!"

Since the gas mask is extremely airtight, all speech is transmitted through the electronic sub-intercom.

Gu Ji looked around and quickly glanced at the terrain, "I see that the damage to this factory is not serious. There is a small chance that many people were buried deep. There is a high probability that they were attacked by poison gas. Detachment Han, I suggest that the team be dispersed , expand the search size!”

"What Bian Shizhang said makes sense. The search and rescue team cooperates in pairs and disperses operations. The technical team prepares drone reconnaissance. The medical and support teams are always ready to pick up the wounded and transport them to an open location for first aid!"

Han Yue also found that the damage here was not serious.

So the team of 60 people was instantly divided into two parts. The 15 teams in the front dispersed to search, and the medical and other personnel in the rear were responsible for first aid.

“An unconscious worker was found at the pipe entrance!”

"Two unconscious workers were found at the eastern LPG storage tank!"

"Wait a minute, six trapped people were found here. They were pinned down by a floor slab. I need support!"

Gu Ji followed Xiao Jian all the way to the inside of the factory, and finally stopped in front of a ruins. He found that there were several heads in the cracks, but all of them had their eyes closed, so they could not judge whether they were alive or dead for the time being.

Wait until nearby support arrives.

Everyone set up jacks on the edge of the crack. As the floor was lifted bit by bit, Wang Yuexi and other rescue team members immediately got in and began to pull people out.

Of the six trapped people pulled out, two had their chests completely collapsed and were completely out of breath.

Among the remaining four people who were unconscious, one of them had the face of Xia Guo.

Gu Ji hurriedly carried the man on his back and ran quickly outside the factory until he was far away from the factory and reached an open space in the leeward direction.

There are already many unconscious injured people lying here, and they are being given first aid by the medical team using sodium bicarbonate solution.

One of the Pakistani workers wearing a white safety helmet coughed twice and gradually woke up, "Ahem, cough, cough, here is..."

"Don't be nervous, we are from Xia Guo International Rescue Team. We saw you in a coma in the factory, so we rescued you. You are safe now."

Ying Wanyu reached out and gently comforted the white helmet worker.

Seeing someone regaining consciousness, Gu Ji immediately seized the opportunity and came over, "Sorry, the situation is urgent. How were the workers in the factory when the earthquake occurred? We have four Xia country compatriots working in the factory. Do you know their specific locations? ?”

"Hey! The injured has just woken up now, and his consciousness has not fully recovered. At this time, you..."

"Yutong, let him ask."

Ying Wanyu stopped her fellow nurse. She also knew that this was an extraordinary time.

They only have one hour of rescue time. It is not an easy task to rescue everyone in this factory full of poisonous gas and dangerous explosives.

"Remove the putty..."

The white hat worker murmured a few words in a daze, and suddenly he woke up like a flash of inspiration.

"I remembered that after the earthquake, the factory building began to collapse, and some of our workers were buried inside. I and another group of people managed to escape, but when we saw that the liquefaction tanks and pipes began to leak, in order to prevent the leakage of poisonous gas, , the supervisor ordered us to close the valve quickly, but halfway through, I broke the valve."

"As for Xia Guo workers, there are indeed a few in our factory. One of them is in Factory Building No. 3 and should be buried under the rubble. There are three remaining. Two of them go to the main valve room with the supervisor, and one seems to be with the warehouse manager. Went to the dangerous goods warehouse."

Factory Building No. 3 should be the face of Xia Guo who was just rescued.

For a time, based on the white hat worker's description, combined with the scene Gu Ji had witnessed during the rescue, a three-dimensional factory map began to be gradually sketched in his mind.

The location of the main valve room seems to be to the east and north of Factory No. 3!

"Thanks, Xizi, I know where the location is, follow me!"

After saying these words, Gu Ji took Xiao Jian and Wang Yuexi back to the factory.

But just as he was halfway running, next to one of the storage tanks, a rescuer was holding the pipe with one hand and covering his neck with the other. He stopped in place, seeming to be very uncomfortable.

While he was scratching, Gu Ji saw at a glance that the skin around his neck was completely red, with a layer of raised blisters similar to a rash. This was obviously caused by long-term exposure to high concentrations of poisonous gas. , was corroded.

When the neck is corroded, the neck muscles instinctively contract due to pain, causing difficulty in breathing.

"Han detachment! A team member was found injured near the No. 3 white tank in the south! A team member was found injured!"

"Brother, are you okay?"

Seeing that the rescuer was about to faint, Wang Yuexi rushed over, supported him, and turned around and shouted: "Medical team! Come quickly!"

"Xiko, tighten his collar! Don't let him touch the skin again!"

Gu Ji warned, raised his wrist, and the time on the watch showed that 20 minutes had passed. "It's almost too late. You send him to the medical team, and I will continue to look for people!"

"Can you do it alone?"

"Don't forget, I still have Xiao Jian!"

Gu Ji touched the rescue dog with his boot.

The two of them immediately parted ways. When Gu Ji rushed to the main valve control room, he saw at a glance the electronic control console, large twisted pipes and wheel-type valves under the ruins.

There were three figures lying underneath the twisted pipe.

"In the main valve control room, three unconscious and injured people were found. Two of them are faces of Xia State. I need support!"

Not long after Gu Jigang called, two rescuers ran nearby and helped him carry the unconscious man out of the factory.

But on the way to delivery.

He heard that the search team member beside him was breathing heavily, and his legs and feet were also a little uncomfortable. When he looked closely, he saw that the skin on his wrist was as red as that person just now.

There is no way, their rescue combat uniform is not a professional chemical protective suit, there are always some areas that cannot be protected, but these are one of the most fragile skins of the human body.

Even Gu Ji felt a burning sensation on the back of his neck.

After rushing out of the factory, he immediately took out a towel from his backpack, soaked it in water, and wrapped it around his neck.

After feeling the cold feeling, the skin that was burned by the chlorine gas suddenly became much more comfortable.

"There are only the last 25 minutes left, hurry up! Speed ​​up!"

"In the Korean detachment, many members have serious skin injuries. My suggestion is to take turns and call for reinforcements from the earthquake area command center..."

Seeing that Han Yue was still urging everyone, Gu Ji couldn't help but made a suggestion.

Han Yue naturally noticed the players whose skin turned red. He was just halfway through speaking.

The first team member who was helped out by Wang Chuanxi straightened his back and said: "Team Han, we can overcome this, this little skin injury is nothing!"

"Yes! There are only 25 minutes left. If rotation is carried out at this time, the rescue speed will drop a lot. We still have one compatriot who has not been found, and there are those who are trapped, which means there is no hope of survival... "

“Detachment Han, let’s keep going!”

At this time, rescue team members rushed to surround him.

Looking at their red eyes, Gu Ji couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He finally understood why the police and soldiers were the country's last line of defense, and why Wang Chaoyang was willing to leave his hometown and stay undercover in the Bai family in northern Myanmar for so many years.

It turns out that there really is such a group of people who are not afraid of hardships and sacrifice selflessly.

Han Yue gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind, "Okay, everyone, in the last 20 minutes of action, the medical team is always ready to respond!"

"yes!"

After saying that, Han Yue took the lead and rushed in with everyone.

The location of the dangerous goods explosion warehouse is at the innermost side of the factory. Gu Ji led Xiao Jian all the way through countless poisonous gas miasma, "Ahem..."

Unexpectedly, even Xiao Jian started coughing at this time.

"Work harder, Xiao Jian, there is only one last step left!"

Gu Ji encouraged his rescue dog. At this time, he also noticed an obvious burning sensation on the skin of his wrists and neck.

Perhaps being encouraged, Xiao Jian endured the discomfort and continued to run forward.

In the yellow-green fog, Gu Ji finally discovered a "one"-shaped factory building, and a white figure was lying at the door of the warehouse.

He helped the worker up, and he looked like the face of Xia Guo.

[Objective: Determine the situation of Xiaguo compatriots in the earthquake area, work hard to rescue the trapped people, and succeed in reducing the death toll to less than 3 people! 】
