Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 425 - 218: Forest Fire_3
There had been an accident in the family before, with the young hunter’s older brother having encountered danger while out, trying desperately to save their father, but ending up devoured by wild beasts.
Ever since then, the father who always had a smile on his face suddenly became taciturn, and became extremely strict with his younger son whom he had dearly loved, resorting to beating or scolding him for any mistakes.
This caused their once-close father-son relationship to gradually become strained. Now, at this critical moment, the young hunter finally erupted, shouting at his father.
"I didn’t expect you to think like this."
Faced with his son’s roar, the middle-aged hunter did not get angry. Instead, he took off his clothes and poured the last remaining water from the kettle onto them.
"Actually, I don’t blame you at all. This has nothing to do with you. I just don’t want your brother’s tragedy to happen to you."
The middle-aged hunter looked at his son with eyes full of affection, and the other hunters exchanged glances, their faces showing a trace of bitterness.
In truth, the other hunters somewhat envied this father and son. Based on experience, they knew they had little chance of surviving the fire, but this father and son pair still had the chance to bid goodbye.
"This water can help prevent serious burns. If your clothes catch fire, take them off immediately and keep running. Don’t stop no matter what!"
"Dad, I’m not leaving!"
Without giving the middle-aged hunter a chance to finish, the young hunter embraced his father directly. Seeing the long-standing misunderstanding between them dissolve, the other old hunters felt genuinely happy for them.
"Damn it, heaven really doesn’t give us a break!"
The hunters looked at each other with helpless expressions.
The young hunter felt immense guilt seeing the expressions on their faces. If he hadn’t been so careless back then, this tragedy might not have happened.
Meanwhile, the firefighters had arrived at the base of the mountain. Due to the dense forest, they couldn’t drive their fire truck directly to the summit. Each man carried fire extinguishers on their backs and sprinted towards the fire.
When they reached the fire site, they found that the wind had turned the blaze into a sea of fire, which their current equipment couldn’t extinguish.
"We still need to call for reinforcements quickly. For now, let’s try to contain the fire within a certain range!"
The leading Fire Chief looked solemn. This was the second large-scale forest fire in his firefighting career. The first occurred when he had just become a firefighter, a fire that claimed his squad leader’s life.
Impacted by that loss, the Fire Chief vowed to continually improve his skills, determined not to let the same tragedy befall his comrades.
"Members of the first team, use your equipment to slow down the fire’s spread. Members of the second team, quickly calculate the fire’s direction and speed, and preemptively carve out a firebreak!"
Under the Fire Chief’s command, all firefighters operated in an orderly manner. Despite holding fire extinguishers, confronted by the massive blaze, their efforts seemed almost futile.
"Help!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
While the firefighters were working hard, a cry for help emerged from the sea of flames.
"Damn it, how can there still be people out there?"
The Fire Chief thought helplessly. He wasn’t cursing the trapped hunters but the wildfire itself, knowing that forest fires are already difficult to extinguish, and adding rescue missions makes the job even harder.
"Give it to me!"
Whoosh...
