Chapter 735

~8 min read 1,444 words

The taxi master ran over, panting, and only saw Zhou Andong's back as he dashed into the unit door of a residential building on the east side, so he also ran after him.

Zhou Andong ran to the door of a first-floor resident, found it locked, raised his leg and kicked it hard. With a "bang," the thin iron sheet of the security door was kicked into a dent by Zhou Andong, but wanting to kick it open was simply impossible.

Zhou Andong turned his head and saw many people standing beside him, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: why are you all standing beside me?

Thinking this, he stepped up and ran upstairs, trying to open the door at every floor.

Finally, on the fifth floor, Zhou Andong pulled the door open and found an old man with white hair lying there, covered in blood.

Zhou Andong hurriedly squatted down to check his body, finding two glass fragments on his back and shoulder.

"Come two people!"

"Coming!"

"Coming!"

More than ten people shouted one after another.

Zhou Andong said: "Just leave two people here; the others go upstairs to search."

The taxi master and a fat man who was bare-chested and covered in sweat shouted.

"I'll stay!"

Another young man shouted: "I'll go upstairs to take a look."

Others followed and ran upstairs. In fact, most of the residential buildings at this time were five or six stories high.

Soon, the young man and several others came down.

"The doors are all locked and won't open."

Zhou Andong asked the taxi master and the fat man to carefully pick up the person and place him on his back.

"It's not noon yet, and it's not Sunday; there shouldn't be anyone at home. However, we still have to wait for the fire department to come and break them open, then take another look."

The taxi master ran into the room, took a quilt, and then, together with the fat man, followed behind Zhou Andong, protecting the old man and walking downstairs step by step.

"Young man!" The old man said weakly, "Thank you!"

Zhou Andong didn't say anything, and the expressions of the others were very serious.

The power of the explosion was too great; there must be casualties, and no one could laugh.

When they came out, it was pitch black outside, with many people gathered.

And those who went to other residential buildings also came out one after another, carrying or holding many injured people.

The taxi master spread the quilt on the ground, and then together with the fat man, helped the old man sit on the quilt.

Zhou Andong checked the condition of each injured person one by one, then shouted: "Is there a pharmacy nearby? Everyone, run and buy all the anti-inflammatory water, external hemostatic medicine, and gauze; put it on the tab first, and I'll pay for the expenses when the time comes."

No one believed that Zhou Andong would pay, but there were still kind-hearted people who went to buy medicine.

Tian Feng, the deputy director of the Shun Dian Police Station, came out of a first-floor residential building with several police officers, all of whom were injured.

They had just finished investigating a case last night and had taken a nap at the police station in the morning before coming out to eat.

Then they heard a loud bang, and all the doors and windows of the restaurant were shattered.

Tian Feng and the others were all injured by the huge shockwave and the glass fragments it carried.

At that time, they realized an explosion accident had occurred. Tian Feng didn't have any hesitation, letting one police officer run back to the police station to summon other personnel to arrive at the scene for rescue immediately, while he took the others and ran toward the direction of the explosion.

They were the first to arrive at the scene, first going to the center of the explosion to check the scene, but the explosions continued, and they didn't dare to go deep.

At this time, seeing a large group of masses running over, Tian Feng also ran back, preparing to organize them to carry out rescue.

But before he could run back, Zhou Andong had already organized manpower to go into the residential building to search and rescue, so they followed into the residential building to search and rescue.

The two buildings they searched, because the doors were all locked, they didn't see any injured masses, which was the same as Zhou Andong's judgment—there might not be anyone at home, which also made them feel a trace of luck.

Tian Feng looked at Zhou Andong, who was busy, and just as he was about to walk over, he saw all his colleagues arrive.

Director Zhang Fenglai asked breathlessly: "Old Tian, how is the situation?"

"The center of the explosion can't be entered; we have to wait for the fire department." Tian Feng shook his head, and immediately after, he saw someone buy emergency medicine, "Stop talking for now, hurry up and help treat the wounds of the injured."

As police officers, there was no one who didn't know how to handle first aid. With their participation, Zhou Andong could be considered to have breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't notice that while he was busy treating the wounds of the injured, a girl with a camera around her neck took a lot of pictures of him.

At this time, the Armed Police Border Defense Detachment stationed nearby, the Armed Police Hospital 1 kilometer away from the fire, and the district branch arrived at the scene to carry out rescue.

Immediately after, leaders at all levels, more than a thousand police officers, and security personnel arrived at the scene to carry out rescue.

In order to avoid greater casualties, the order was given for all police officers of the Municipal Vehicle Management Office to lead tow trucks to arrive at the scene.

Zhou Andong let out a long sigh. By this time, there was nothing left for him to do. He found the young man who bought the medicine, took out a cigarette to give him one, and lit one for himself.

"Where was the medicine bought?"

The young man took a deep puff of the cigarette and wiped the sweat off his face: "Bought it at the Meihao Pharmacy. At first, I ran to two pharmacies, and as soon as they heard I wanted to put it on a tab, they wouldn't sell it to me."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Where is the Meihao Pharmacy?"

The young man pointed to the street behind him: "Go straight, turn right at the third traffic post and you'll see it."

"Thank you!"

Zhou Andong thanked him and was just about to leave when he was stopped by a girl with a camera around her neck.

"Comrade, I'm a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News. Can I interview you?"

"I have things to do; you go interview someone else." Zhou Andong waved his hand and stepped away.

The girl didn't give up, trotting along behind him, and even took out a small tape recorder and held it in front of Yang Luo.

"Judging by your accent, you're not from Guangdong Province, right?"

Zhou Andong nodded: "Northeast."

The girl asked again: "How long have you been in Shenzhen?"

Zhou Andong tilted his head and looked at the persistent girl. She wasn't very pretty, but her round face and two dimples when she smiled made her look very cute.

"Less than two hours."

"Ah?" The girl asked with a look of surprise: "Less than two hours, and you encountered such a big disaster; aren't you afraid of danger?"

Zhou Andong stopped talking, quickened his pace, and the girl still followed, her mouth never stopping, constantly asking questions.

Zhou Andong looked up at the sign of the Meihao Pharmacy: "You just started working, right?"

"Ah!" The girl asked with a confused look: "How did you know?"

Zhou Andong gave a wry smile; any reporter with a little experience would absolutely not ask such a boring question, nor would they leave the explosion scene to chase and interview one person; this was simply picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

Zhou Andong entered the pharmacy and saw only a middle-aged man inside, so he knew he had come to the right place, because the pharmacy's sales clerks were all at the scene helping to treat the wounded.

"Boss!" Zhou Andong walked over, "I'm here to pay for the medicine."

The boss looked at Zhou Andong with a look of confusion: "Medicine money?"
