"Who is he? Why is he rushing in so desperately?"
"He's already saved over a dozen people. Why is he still pushing himself so hard?"
"Yeah, does he live here, or is he a firefighter?"
"..."
Some people began to voice their curiosity.
The onlookers filming with their phones, after capturing Qin Feng jumping from the sixth floor, immediately posted the footage to their WeChat Moments or various video platforms.
In less than a minute, dozens, even hundreds, of videos of the warehouse area incident were posted by the public, and the number of comments grew rapidly.
"A large residential building in an old neighborhood on XX Road has erupted in a sudden fire. An anonymous young hero, fearless of the flames, resolutely rushed into the inferno to save lives! Please give our little hero a thumbs-up!"
"Oh my goodness! This is terrifying! A fire broke out in an old neighborhood residential building, trapping dozens of people inside. A young man is charging into the flames to rescue them. I deeply admire his courage! I hope he stays safe!"
"The fire is intensifying, why haven't the firefighters arrived yet! Please come and save them!"
"..."
Comments like these kept appearing, growing in intensity.
At this moment, Zhang Qingqing, holding a microphone, spoke loudly:
"As everyone has witnessed, a heroic rescuer has emerged on the scene. He is currently disregarding his own safety, repeatedly charging into the burning building to rescue those trapped inside! So far, he has gone in ten times consecutively and saved twenty people! Our Yan Country has never been short of heroes! Let us cheer for this little hero! And let us pray for his safety, that nothing happens to him! While ensuring the safety of those he rescues, he must also protect himself!"
At this point, the entire Donghai City had their attention focused on the fire and the brave, fearless figure of Qin Feng.
Watching from in front of the television, Qin Guotao and Chen Yi, for reasons unknown, felt a tightness in their chests and a sense of unease as they saw the figure charging into the blaze to save lives.
As the public was posting to their social media, Qin Feng had already, for the umpteenth time, leaped down from the sixth floor, carrying two people.
By now, his face was completely blackened by soot, and he bore numerous burns on his body.
This time, the wet blanket he had opened revealed two children.
After setting down the two children, Qin Feng immediately used his radar to scan again, locking onto the trapped individuals on the third floor, in the first room! Then, enduring the intense pain, Qin Feng once again picked up the wet blanket and rushed in.
By this time, the fire in the stairwell and the corridor outside the rooms had grown significantly, making passage extremely difficult. Yet, Qin Feng continued his rescue efforts.
There were still over forty people trapped in the building, and with the fire escalating, their danger was increasing. He had to rescue everyone before the flames engulfed the entire building.
Heat! Pain! Difficulty breathing!
This was what Qin Feng felt as he sprinted through the raging inferno and up the stairs, but he dared not slow down.
If he stopped, the fat and muscle on his body would inevitably ignite. He had to keep running, running fast, to break through the flames at the fastest possible speed.
Perhaps only in this way could the fierce fire be prevented from consuming his body.
"Another one saved! My God, he's on fire!" The surrounding crowd was once again stunned to witness this scene.
"Quick! Douse the hero!" Someone standing by the water buckets immediately threw a bucket of water onto Qin Feng.
After extinguishing the flames on his body and setting the rescued person down, Qin Feng, holding the wet blanket, turned again, preparing to charge back into the building.
Just then, the older man who had tried to stop Qin Feng the first time quickly stepped forward again, grabbing Qin Feng's arm and exclaiming, "Young man! You can't go in again! It's too dangerous! You'll be burned alive in there if you go in again!"
Qin Feng forcefully shook off the man's hand and said, "Don't you hear people crying for help up there? If I don't go up to save them, they'll be burned to death! Let go!"
With that, Qin Feng, holding the wet blanket, charged back in.
The raging inferno at the stairwell immediately engulfed Qin Feng with terrifying speed.
"Why is this child so stubborn? With a fire this big, and his strength surely depleted, isn't he just going to his death by rushing in again?" The surrounding crowd cursed him with a mixture of frustration and concern.
Despite their curses, deep down, these people cared about this little hero who was disregarding his own life for others.
The next second, they saw Qin Feng, with the back of his clothes and pants alight, reappear on the third-floor landing. He quickly rushed into one of the rooms.
Ten seconds later, he emerged again, carrying someone.
"Quick! Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
The older man was the first to grab the prepared water and douse Qin Feng. Seeing this, others also fetched water and threw it at Qin Feng.
"Get away! Don't block me, get away!" Qin Feng scrambled up from the ground, pushing away the crowd surrounding him, and charged back into the building.
Everyone watched as the thin yet upright figure disappeared into the sea of flames, their eyes wide, their mouths agape.
Their expressions were a mixture of shock and admiration.
Meanwhile, at the fire truck scene.
A firefighter ran back to the fire truck and shouted to the fire captain, "Captain, the traffic jam ahead is too severe! We can't get through!"
The fire truck was stuck about a kilometer away from the fire scene, completely blocked by rush-hour traffic.
"Damn it!" The fire captain slammed his hand on the vehicle in frustration and roared, "Contact the traffic bureau immediately and have them send personnel to clear a path for us! Also, besides the driver, have everyone else grab their gear and run with me. Once the path is clear, tell the driver to get here as fast as possible."
"Yes!"
After issuing the order, the fire captain quickly disembarked, hoisted his gear onto his back, and led over twenty firefighters to sprint towards the burning building billowing with thick black smoke.
...
Soon, as time passed, millions of news reports about the fire flooded the internet.
The most discussed topic was the fiery hero who, disregarding his own life, repeatedly entered the inferno to rescue people.
"Thumbs up for this hero!"
"Well done! Keep going, brother!"
"So moving! Doesn't it hurt?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"What kind of perseverance and belief can drive him to risk his life so recklessly to save these people who have no relation to him..."
"Hero, you've done enough! Stop now, we don't want anything to happen to you..."
"..."
Comments and messages of all sorts filled every channel.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng, busy with his rescue, was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
When Qin Feng emerged from the burning building for the umpteenth time, carrying someone, his clothes were completely charred and tattered, except for his underwear. Some had even fused with Qin Feng's flesh and blood.
Qin Feng's skin, including his face, had been burned to a dark, reddish hue.
Every time he appeared, he was engulfed in flames.
And...
