Chapter 10 Fire Rescue

"Damn it, don't be stunned, hurry up and put out the fire!" The old man reacted first and rushed forward while shouting. But to be honest, whether to save this kind of fire under the current conditions is of little significance. .

As we all know, Japanese buildings have mostly wooden structures and very few masonry materials. A house with this structure is like a huge pile of firewood. When it is not on fire, it is easy to say, but once it does burn, it is almost impossible to extinguish it. Of course, this does not mean that there is no way to put out the fire, but the only fire-fighting tool in the village is a bucket, and the nearest water source is a creek more than 300 meters away from the village. Relying on manpower to return water, at this speed it would be difficult to put out even a cement building on fire, let alone an entire wooden walled city on fire.

In fact, the old man and the people in the team were blocked by the heat wave before they could even reach the edge of the walled city. Anyone who has actually been exposed to a larger flame knows that the temperature of a fire is completely different from that of a gas flame at home. Take the bonfire used in a bonfire party as an example. It is simply a matter of stacking some wood together and lighting it. When the flame is at its strongest, no one can stand within one and a half meters around it, and it can be felt even from two meters away. To the rolling heat wave. In a situation like this where the entire city is on fire, without thermal insulation clothing, the human body can be directly burned within a hundred meters of the fire scene.

Obviously, it was impossible for a normal person to pour river water with a bucket a hundred meters away to put out the fire, so the old man and the servants could only run back and forth outside the walled city at a loss due to the high temperature and heat wave. Some people covered their heads and faces with clothes and tried to rush forward, but they started running back after less than twenty meters. When they came out, many people's skin had been burned to varying degrees.

At first, many people couldn't react for a while and kept trying to get closer to the walled city. But soon those people realized that all their efforts were in vain, so many people began to kneel on the ground in despair and cry bitterly. Some people were sitting there staring at the fire in a daze.

I can understand the situation of these people, but I can't help them. After all, the flames are burning too hard. If I were in full body, I could put out the flames, but unfortunately, I am now affected by the buff mission. My strength is only a fraction of what it was when I was in the entire province. In this case, all I can do is to ensure that I don't get burned to death. It's obviously not heavy enough to put out a fire.

I'm assuming these guys are going to sit here until the fire goes out. But what I didn't expect was that a young man suddenly jumped up in the crowd over there, and then rushed in front of me at a speed that was very exaggerated for him. He threw himself to the ground, hugged my legs and cried. He begged, "Sir, please, sir. I know he is very powerful, so I must not be afraid of this flame. Please enter the walled city and help me find my sister! I beg you, sir!" After the guy finished speaking It doesn’t matter whether I answer or not. He immediately knelt down and started kowtowing furiously. That means, "If you don't go in, I will die here."

Looking at this guy's behavior, I was really hesitant. It's not that I don't want to help, but it really requires a lot of effort. None of us are perfect now. Naturally, one's own magic resistance cannot withstand such high temperatures. If you want to enter, you must use additional fire resistance magic to enter. However, after we entered this mission, our own magic recovery speed also dropped sharply, and the magic consumption of the skills did not drop to the same level as our attributes. As a result, everyone's magic tank became extremely tight, and we could not use it. Try not to use magic. Otherwise, what if you don’t have enough magic when you really need large-scale skills? Don't forget that the medicines in the buff mission are ineffective, and the medicine must be found in the mission to be effective. However, we have not found even a single pill since we entered this mission, which shows that this medicine is definitely very rare. Therefore, we don’t dare to use magic power at all now. However, now these NPCs actually ask us to save people, and once we enter the fire scene, we must use magic power. It's okay to save people, but what if we can't? How can we do this kind of thing casually with high investment, unstable returns, or even no returns?

Although there is no need to do this kind of thing from a profit point of view, from an emotional point of view, it is necessary to save people when such things happen. It is one thing to encounter enemies fighting each other, but it is another thing to ignore the danger of unrelated people. Besides, we are not incapable, but rather we have the ability. If we don’t save someone in this situation, it would be a matter of character.

Someone took the lead, and everyone else responded. This request was for his wife, that one wanted to save his mother, and another wanted to save his children. Of course, most of them wanted to save his whole family. The people in these bride-to-be teams are basically people from this village, and this village is said to be a village, but in fact it should be regarded as a small county town, and its population is actually not large. Most of the people present had several family members inside, so when they saw the walled city on fire, they rushed in frantically to save people at the very beginning.

Looking at the large group of people kneeling on the ground in front of me, I could only helplessly turn my head and glance at Zhenhong. I feel really bad about not taking any action at all, so I can only look at other people's opinions.

Jin Coin shook his head insignificantly, Zhen Hong nodded, and Christina also nodded. Obviously, it was two against one, and I was an abstention vote. The final result was naturally to follow the opinions of Christina and Zhen Hong and go to help.

"Everyone, get up. How can we save people when you are blocking us like this?"

Suddenly hearing my words, those who were busy kowtowing suddenly froze there, and then they all looked at me with shocked expressions on their faces. Although they were pleading with us, they actually knew that we were unlikely to help, so they were stunned when they suddenly heard such an answer.

"What are you doing? If you don't get out of the way, the people inside will be dead!"

This sentence was still a deterrent, and the people in front suddenly gave way to both sides. I didn't waste any time, and just took the lead and walked towards the sea of ​​fire over there.

Although the buff mission limits my attributes, the Dragon Soul suit is still an artifact suit after all, and it is a growth-type equipment. Even though it has been weakened so much, it still lives up to its reputation as a top-notch suit. Without any preparation, I walked directly to a place more than five meters away from the outer wall of the walled city, and then I began to feel an obvious burning sensation. At this time, the flames on the outer wall could almost be licked. My face went off. Judging from this temperature, even if I walked in without any preparation, I would probably only lose blood slowly at most, and I wouldn't really be burned to death quickly. This is still the situation after the attributes of the Dragon Soul Suit have been weakened. If the Dragon Soul Suit is in a complete state, this temperature will not have any reaction at all.

Compared to my relaxed and freehand attitude, Zhenhong and the others are not much worse. Zhenhong's own real weapon suit is also a type with super high defense. Although it is not a specialized elemental resistance equipment, the basic data is too high after all, so it is similar to mine, and it can almost ignore the temperature of this fire field. However, in order to avoid blood loss, Zhenhong still used some small skills to assist.

Although Jin Coin and Christina are both from the magic system, facing this kind of fire scene, they actually have an advantage over me and Zhen Hong, who have high magic resistance.

Christina finally added an elemental transformation to herself, and the gold coin simply walked into the fire scene without using anything. What's even more amazing is that all the flames seemed to be afraid of her after the gold coin approached, and the flames all tilted away from her. , as a result, looking from the side, it seems that wherever the gold coin goes, the flames automatically separate a path. In comparison, Christina's elemental transformation is slightly lower-end.

In fact, elemental transformation is not an active magic, but a passive status magic. You don't need to bother to maintain it after using it. It will not disappear automatically as long as it is not dispelled. The characteristic of this spell is that it does not consume any of its own magic power. After activation, a certain series of elements can be used as energy according to the settings before activation, and at the same time, an elemental balance zone is created around the body. Of course, based on the basic world theorem, this spell can only be cast when a certain series of elements is too dense. Otherwise, the element pressure will not be enough to maintain its continuous work. However, it turns out that this spell has good effects in high temperature environments, underwater environments or extremely cold conditions.

Jin Coin and Christina finally entered the sea of ​​​​fire easily, while Zhenhong and I also entered smoothly after adding auxiliary spells.

In fact, to save people in the sea of ​​​​fire, it is not enough to be afraid of fire. You must also have a way to find the target you need in the sea of ​​​​fire. Everyone knows that flames will glow when burning. However, in a fire scene, because there are flames from all directions, an effect similar to overexposure will occur. The ability of human eyes to distinguish things in this environment is actually very poor, so it is not enough to say that you are not afraid of fire, you also need to be able to accurately find the target in the fire scene.

Magic induction is a good ability. It can detect fire scenes without being interfered by flames. Unfortunately, the targets here are ordinary people, so there is no magic power that can be used to be discovered by us, so naturally we cannot use this method to find them. Fortunately, we all had some tricks of our own, and we were finally able to see objects clearly in the fire scene.

In order to increase the search speed, we automatically dispersed after entering the fire scene. I directly turned on the life detection ability, and then began to search forward little by little along the burning street.

In fact, I came here thinking that there should be no living people here, after all, the temperature is here. However, it turns out that the desire to survive can often make people do many incredible things, and the villagers in this village obviously also have a very strong desire to survive, so I soon discovered the aura of a living person, and there were more. Not one, but a whole bunch was discovered at once. (To be continued...)
