At the same time, a huge explosion came from the restaurant they had just come out of!
The restaurant that had been happy and harmonious a moment ago was suddenly filled with screams.
"Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! "
"Uncle is seriously injured!"
"Ambulance! Call the ambulance! "
"Call the police! Call the police! "
The restaurant quickly lit up with flames, and the scorching heat hit them in the face.
The shrill sound of the fire alarm rang in the hallway, and it was screaming wildly.
Gu Nianzhi's ears were almost deafened by the huge explosion just now. Everything she heard seemed to be coming from the distant sky.
Huo Shaoheng's back had suffered the shock wave of the first round of explosion in the bathroom. Although there were no external injuries, his internal organs were still impacted.
He held Gu Nianzhi tightly in his arms, rolled on the ground, and crawled towards the stairs.
The fire came from behind, and the Qin family cried for help. One supported the other, and they pulled each other out of the hellish restaurant. The management of the revolving restaurant was also dumbfounded at first, but they quickly reacted and called the police, and rescued people. They worked together step by step.
The security guards on the 36th floor rushed into the fire with dry ice extinguishers to extinguish the fire.
Ten minutes later, the sound of ambulances and fire engines could be heard on the main road outside.
Fortunately, there was a fire station near the revolving restaurant, as well as a Qin Corporation Private Hospital, so the ambulances and fire engines arrived quickly.
However, the fire started at the highest point of the building. From the ground up, only thick smoke could be seen billowing like a devil, shrouding the entire 36th floor.
Flames occasionally came from the windows, and the fire engines couldn't reach such a high place.
The firefighters carried hoses on their backs and ran up the stairs on foot, regardless of the difficulty and danger, to the 36th floor.
Because the building was on fire, the elevators had automatically closed and couldn't be used. People going up and down could only take the stairs.
The people who escaped from upstairs panicked and barely gave way to the firefighters.
Huo Shaoheng had just pushed open the door to the 36th floor's fire exit with Gu Nianzhi in his arms when an unpleasant smell of plastic immediately rushed out.
Huo Shaoheng cursed inwardly and quickly closed the door tightly. He carried Gu Nianzhi and rolled to the storage room on the side. He pulled off her silk scarf, soaked it with water, and covered their mouths and noses.
Boom!
There was another explosion. This time, it came from the entrance of the fire escape on the 36th floor, directly cutting off their way down from the fire escape.
There were explosions in front and behind them. Flames soared into the sky, and the overwhelming black smoke caused many people to collapse to the ground.
Huo Shaoheng quickly took out his phone to contact the Soviet Union. But the moment he took out his phone, he knew it was broken. There was an electromagnetic shield here, and there was no signal!
Gu Nianzhi gripped Huo Shaoheng's shirt tightly. Although she was nervous, she wasn't afraid.
Because she knew that he was by her side. Even if something were to happen, he would be there for her.
Her heart was very calm, and her ears gradually returned to normal.
Gu Nianzhi's mind raced. A fire in such a tall building couldn't possibly be extinguished by a fire truck.
The other party had also blown up the fire escape route. It was obvious that they did not want them to escape through the fire escape route.
Could it trap them like this?!
Glancing at the dead silence on Huo Shaoheng's phone, Gu Nianzhi smiled and took out her own phone to call He Zhichu.
"…"
"… Why does your phone have a signal?" Huo Shaoheng asked softly.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and waved her phone. "Lu Jin's products must be top-notch."
This was a phone that her father had modified. It could resist electromagnetic shielding of all frequencies.
After all, in this world, if Lu Jin said that he was second in the study of electromagnetic fields, no one would dare to say that they were first.
He Zhichu had already received the call and was asking anxiously, "Nianzhi? Aren't you going to eat at the revolving restaurant today?! I just got the news. Are you okay? Don't be afraid, I'll come pick you up right away! "
It was obvious that He Zhichu had also received news of the incident at the revolving restaurant.
At this critical juncture, Gu Nianzhi didn't waste any time and said straightforwardly, "Young Master He, we encountered several explosions and were trapped on the top floor of the 36th floor. The fire escape route was also blown up, and there was fire everywhere. We couldn't get out or go down."
He Zhichu's heart tightened, and he immediately said, "I'll bring a helicopter squadron to pick you up right away! Hold on, go to the bathroom and find a place with a water source! Don't come out! Don't come out before I come! "
Since the firefighters below couldn't come up, they could only send helicopters to put out the fire and save people from above.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and added, "Almost all the Qin family members are here."
He Zhichu was stunned. "Let's talk when we meet."
He rushed out of the room while putting on his flight suit. At the same time, he gathered the professional firefighting units in the army. Within three minutes, all of them boarded the latest and fastest armed helicopter squadron. He then transferred two small fighter jets and quickly took off into the air. He sped towards the revolving restaurant on the third ring road.
At this time, the explosion and fire at the revolving restaurant had become a hot topic of society.
At the same time, countless reporters from new media, traditional media, television stations, newspapers, and magazines gathered on the road in front of the revolving restaurant, competing to report on it.
After Xie Qingying returned from her studies, she founded a very influential new media company. When faced with such a major event, she was the first to come to the scene and conduct interviews and reports with her company's employees.
The fire on the 36th floor was raging. Someone could no longer stand the fire and jumped down from the top floor while shouting!
The firefighters opened a huge air cushion downstairs and picked up several people who jumped down from the top floor.
However, a few people unfortunately fell into a place without an air cushion and died on the spot.
The scene was very tragic.
The police also quickly arrived and pulled up a yellow cordon at the scene to prevent anyone from crossing the line.
Xie Qingying wore a black suit and stood in front of the camera with a solemn expression. She quickly and fluently broadcast the news in Mandarin, English, French, and Latin.
Other than the national media present, Xie Qingying's new media company was the most formal, objective, and worked the hardest.
From the looks of it, she probably wouldn't be able to go to Swan Lake that night.
During the broadcast, she took out her phone to call He Zhichu, but no one picked up.
She was puzzled when she suddenly heard her staff say, "President Xie, look, the military helicopter has been dispatched!"
Xie Qingying suddenly looked up and saw 12 of the latest armed helicopters whistling over with a murderous aura.
"Quick! Prepare the camera! " Xie Qingying quickly picked up the microphone and said to the camera, "The government's rescue is quite fast and effective. This time, they even deployed the military's most elite armed helicopter unit to help save people and put out the fire!"
"Such a fire definitely needs helicopters to help put out the fire. Otherwise, there's no way to save it."
"The people upstairs are saved!"
The media reporters, police, firefighters, and doctors and nurses in the ambulance cheered together.
The audience and netizens, who were nervously watching the explosion and the rescue progress in front of their computers, phones, and televisions, also cheered.
As soon as the armed helicopter squadron arrived, a loud horn sounded in the air.
"Clear the area! Clear the area! Everyone leave quickly! Everyone leave quickly! "
At the same time, two inconspicuous fighter jets suddenly dashed out from the back of the armed helicopters. They fired at a few positions on the building opposite the revolving restaurant!
Xie Qingying came to her senses. This was definitely not a simple fire incident.
She quickly pulled her staff into the interview car. "Let's go! Get out of here! "
The military was clearing the area by force.
…
In the small storage room on the top floor of the building, Huo Shaoheng took off his suit jacket and the bulletproof vest inside. He put it on Gu Nianzhi's coat without any explanation.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. "You usually wear bulletproof vests on the streets?"
Huo Shaoheng said, "… It's basic."
"But can this be bomb-proof?" Gu Nianzhi was puzzled. If she had known earlier, she would have asked Lu Jin to make a few sets of bulletproof vests that could block heavy sniper bullets.
"The bombs should be gone, but there might be snipers outside," Huo Shaoheng said calmly. "If He Zhichu has someone protecting you, he should be outside right now to clear the area by force."
