Every time Qin Feng rushed out of the fire, he was engulfed in flames.
The crowd below was accustomed to dousing him with water and fire extinguishers the moment he emerged, putting out the fires on him.
Many even rushed forward, trying to hold him back and stop him from going back in. But they found Qin Feng's strength to be immense; four or five strong men couldn't hold him back.
Riiip!
Once the flames on his body were extinguished, Qin Feng grabbed one of the men and tore off his clothes. He then placed them in a water bucket, soaked them thoroughly, and quickly wrapped them around his waist and groin.
"Damn it, burn me anywhere else, but not my damn balls!" Qin Feng panted, shouting internally.
After providing Qin Xiaofeng with two layers of protection, Qin Feng picked up two more buckets of water and continued to drench the cotton quilt.
Then, Qin Feng, like a madman, picked up the quilt again and charged back into the building.
The radar detected over twenty people still inside the building, scattered in various rooms. Their lives were hanging by a thread.
Faster! Faster!
The fire raged fiercer, consuming the stairwells, exterior walls, and corridors.
Those trapped on the upper floors were hiding in the toilets, with the taps running.
More than half of them had already been poisoned or choked unconscious by the thick smoke and carbon monoxide seeping through the door cracks.
Qin Feng's radar scanned for any signs of life. As long as there was a survivor, as long as there was a chance to save them, Qin Feng had to go in.
Because this was a soldier's duty. His life now existed for the people.
Qin Feng's clothes had all burned away. Although his flesh hadn't reached its burning point yet, it was still being consumed by the raging inferno.
The searing pain was so intense that even Qin Feng, who had become numb to most pain, felt like he was on the verge of passing out.
The agony of being burned alive was something ordinary people could not endure.
Even a minor burn in everyday life felt like a piercing pain. Qin Feng, however, was surrounded by fire, being roasted alive.
Qin Feng, carrying the wet quilt, rushed into room after room, quickly pulling out those who had fainted but were still alive.
Fortunately, the radar pre-warning scan skill assisted him, allowing him to quickly calculate the optimal routes.
No one remembered how many times Qin Feng had charged into the fire, nor how many times he had emerged carrying someone.
All they knew was that each time he came out, his flesh appeared darker and redder.
Except for the area around his groin, which he had protected, his face, body, thighs, and calves were severely burned by the flames. His outermost layer of skin had completely detached.
They could even see blood and bodily fluids boiling on Qin Feng's surface, much like how liquid and grease bubble when grilling meat.
The horrific sight sent chills down the spines of everyone watching, their hair standing on end.
Yet, despite this, Qin Feng seemed unfazed by the pain, charging back into the inferno.
Did he not feel the pain?
No!
He simply had no time to feel it.
All his energy, all his strength, all his focus were dedicated to searching for the trapped civilians.
He wanted to save them, so he had to endure all the pain, fighting the flames with courage and willpower.
"Just one more! Let me save one more!"
Time and again, Qin Feng carried someone down. His consciousness seemed to be starting to blur.
At this moment, Qin Feng could no longer hear the screams and shouts from outside. His mind was filled with the lives of the trapped people.
He didn't know how many more people he could save given the extent of his burns. But as long as he had a breath left, he had to persevere.
Even if he had to die, he would die with them. In the face of his mission and responsibility, he had no choice.
After Qin Feng had rescued an unknown number of people, his body began to burn.
Normally, after consuming a person's clothes, flames would start to burn the outermost layer of skin. Once the epidermis was completely incinerated, the dermis would be burned.
As the burning continued, the thicker layer of skin, the dermis, would contract and crack, allowing fat to leak out. Fat could also serve as fuel for the fire.
Qin Feng was now in this stage. All the outer layers of his skin and flesh were beginning to crack and contract. His internal fat was gradually leaking out, igniting his body.
If the flames weren't quickly extinguished at this point, his muscles would begin to decompose due to the extreme heat, followed by his organs.
But, let's not forget an important point: the evaporation of the water seal by the flames.
The human body is composed of about seventy percent water. Once the water molecules cannot be retained and the body continues to be evaporated and burned by the fire, a life-threatening danger will arise.
And as fat continuously leaked out, causing his flesh to burn, his capillaries could also rupture, leading to excessive blood loss and death.
Finally, his internal organs would be affected, either decaying due to the heat or developing various inflammations.
This is why many people who are rescued from a fire, despite appearing to have only severe surface burns, ultimately cannot be saved.
The main reasons are excessive loss of water and blood, or widespread organ failure due to toxic gases or heat.
Qin Feng's body fat was now burning, meaning he was entering a moderately dangerous state.
Although he still had the strength, consciousness, and ability to move and breathe, once his body fat was consumed, his water and blood were significantly depleted, and his major organs began to fail, he would only have one outcome:
Death.
Qin Feng, like a human torch, rushed out of the building, leaving the thousands of spectators outside, those in front of their televisions, and people online stunned and horrified.
They had only seen a living person engulfed in flames in movies and TV shows before, but now it was happening in reality, before their very eyes.
This scene was ten thousand times more gruesome and terrifying than any movie or TV show.
"Move aside! Hurry, move aside! We are firefighters, move aside! ..."
As over twenty firefighters pushed through the crowd, they saw Qin Feng emerge from the stairwell, engulfed in flames like a fireball.
"Save him! Quick! Save him!" The fire captain, after a moment of stunned disbelief, quickly reacted. He grabbed a large fire extinguishing tool and ran towards Qin Feng, then turned it on and unleashed a torrent of water onto him.
The other firefighters also snapped back to reality and rushed to help extinguish Qin Feng's flames.
A few seconds later...
