Chapter 128

"What's going on?"

A palpitation hit the three people at the same time.

Lin Gaoyang put down his chopsticks, and Gong Liang put down his wine bottle.

Xiao Chenguang went directly to the window and opened it.

A pungent smell rushed into the house.

"It's the smell of mercaptan."

Xiao Chenguang's nose was a little uncomfortable with the smell.

Even the other two people in the room couldn't help coughing.

"It's broken, a liquefied gas tank exploded nearby!"

Xiao Chenguang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

In the 1990s, there was almost no natural gas, and the most common gas used by neighbors was the liquefied gas tank like the one in the public stove.

Although it is easy to use, there are certain safety hazards.

Especially when a leak occurs, the colorless and odorless gas is difficult to detect.

For safety reasons, some odorants will be added artificially to quickly remind people that a liquefied gas leak has occurred, and measures can be taken to prevent accidents.

However, compared with liquefied gas leaks, explosions are more terrifying.

Beep, beep, beep...

Ring, ring, ring...

Almost at the same time, Lin Gaoyang's cell phone and Xiao Chenguang's pager rang suddenly.

The rapid notes played the movement of death at this moment, making people instinctively start to secrete adrenaline.

Heart rate and blood pressure once soared to the limit.

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm nearby, not only me, but Director Xiao and Gong Liang are also with me. Do you have any instructions?"

Lin Gaoyang received an emergency call saying that a gas explosion occurred in Huijing South Hospital.

Requested to return to the emergency room immediately and be on standby to receive patients.

"Give me the phone."

Xiao Chenguang patted Lin Gaoyang, who immediately handed the phone in his hand to Xiao Chenguang.

"I'm Xiao Chenguang. I saw the message on my pager. The scene of the incident is very close to where we are now."

"Tell the hospital that we will go directly to the scene and notify the 120 ambulance on duty. Prepare a large amount of cotton gauze, bandages, iodine, and saline. We will return to the emergency department with the first batch of injured people."

"Tell them to prepare a large amount of clean water and liquids, and call all the mobile nurses in the hospital to the emergency department."

"By the way, notify the doctors in the orthopedics, respiratory, and skin burn departments. Their wards will be very busy later. Call the second-line doctors to come and work overtime as soon as possible."

Xiao Chenguang hung up the phone and handed the phone back to Lin Gaoyang. At this moment, he didn't care about the wine and food that had just been served on the table, and hurried out the door.

Lin Gaoyang followed closely behind him and caught up with them.

Gong Liang looked back at the meal he cooked, gritted his teeth, locked the door, and caught up with them.

Huijing South Courtyard is only five minutes away from their North Courtyard.

It's just that this area belongs to the shantytown, with good and bad people mixed together, and there is a bit of a no-man's land situation, so there are people doing all kinds of things.

On his way there, Xiao Chenguang was wondering if it was because someone privately stored gas cylinders for sale.

As a result, the accident was caused by improper storage.

It took them about five minutes to get to the scene.

Since this area is just south of Shengli Hospital, the 120 ambulance is very fast.

Ulla Ulla...

Sharp sirens sounded from far to near, and almost at the same time, the 120, flashing blue and white lights, arrived at the scene with Xiao Chenguang and his team.

The muddy road was bumpy, with various stalls on both sides.

The road was narrow and it was difficult for the ambulance to move forward.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Chenguang chose to stop the ambulance and began to carry the emergency equipment by hand.

"Help, come and save people, someone is dying."

Not far away, someone was calling for help in a hurry when he heard 120 coming.

His trembling voice was mixed with anxiety and uneasiness.

Obviously, the explosion of the liquefied gas tank caused serious damage to people.

Even beyond most people's expectations.

"Take the things and go."

Xiao Chenguang took the rescue box from the ambulance, and strode forward with the person pushing the cart, running towards the accident site.

The remaining people in the emergency room also followed Xiao Chenguang, holding their own rescue equipment and running all the way.

"This is too tragic!"

Although they were prepared, the scene in front of them still shocked everyone.

The entire South Courtyard was in a mess, and the three-story building was crumbling and riddled with holes.

Thick smoke billowed around, flames shot up to the sky, and the huge heat wave made people sweat profusely. The scorching temperature rushed towards them, and their whole faces were burning.

The air was filled with a strong pungent smell, which made people's lungs spicy and breathless.

There were screams for help and wailing everywhere at the scene, all in a mess.

A thick layer of glass fragments was scattered on the cement floor of the courtyard downstairs.

This is the result of the air wave generated by the explosion itself, which shattered all the windows of the entire building.

You know, the explosion power of an over-pressurized gas tank is equivalent to 100 kilograms of TNT.

"Doctor, we are here, save us, the pain is unbearable."

The residents who were asking for help were those who had just escaped from the building.

They leaned on each other and lay on the open space in front of the building. Each person had different injuries and different shapes.

Some people were afraid and fell down the stairs when they fled in a hurry.

There were also patients injured by shock waves and broken glass.

There were also some who had no scars on their bodies, but they were scared by the shocking explosion. They stammered and trembled all over, and their faces were pale.

Among them, the most serious category is patients with skin burns caused by the fire and heat waves.

Rescue work is urgent.

Xiao Chenguang immediately carried out on-site triage and treatment according to the five-level triage classification method used in the emergency department before.

Femoral fractures, rib fractures, and second-level casualties were given chest strap external fixation and traction, properly placed, and waiting for transfer.

Skin tears on the calves and arms, active bleeding, and third-level casualties were given on-site bandages to stop bleeding and psychological comfort guidance.

Xiao Chenguang hung the prepared color bracelets on their wrists to distinguish the level of injuries and waited for the next treatment.

At this time, the first aid personnel on the scene instinctively followed Xiao Chenguang's instructions.

Some stopped bleeding, and some bandaged.

According to Xiao Chenguang's reminder on the phone just now, they prepared a large amount of hemostatic cotton gauze and fixation belts for this visit.

Now they all came in handy.

Lin Gaoyang and Gong Liang, who were beside Xiao Chenguang, also played a key role at this moment.

After the classification of the illness was done, Xiao Chenguang just said his treatment opinions. Without being reminded, the two of them had already clearly divided the work and performed their duties.

Under their leadership, the first wave of injured people on the scene were soon properly settled.

This was due to the experience of treating the last major car accident. Everyone was calm and orderly.

Looking at the injured who were properly treated in front of them, such efficient treatment made the two look at each other and found each other's astonishment.

If this happened a month ago, they would not have believed it at all.

"Well done."

Their performance made Xiao Chenguang cast a look of approval.

With two people assisting him, he also saved a lot of time and could focus more on treating the difficult and seriously injured in front of him.

"Boss, how should the burns be treated?"

Facing the injured who were burned by the fire and whose skin on their bodies and faces was burned, Lin Gaoyang did not dare to touch them, for fear of causing greater harm to him.
