Demons Beside You Chapter 69: Heroes Of The Fireground

In the evening, Bant came to fetch Chen Zhao.

Bant was driving an outmoded truck, but Chen Zhao did not really care.

"Chen, are you from China?"

"How did you know?"

"We had an immigrant here in the past. His name was also Chen."

"Oh, is he still here?"

"No, he moved away, but he would occasionally come back to meet his friends."

Although they had had little contact, Chen Zhao could tell that Bant was a straightforward person. He was able to get along with most people and did not have any taboos.

"Chen, what's your job?"

"Doctor."

"Doctor! A good profession."

Most American feel that doctors, lawyers, and college professors are the best jobs available.

These people have high income and are respected. Indeed, Americans and Chinese have more or less the same opinions regarding this.

"Huh? Is that a factory?" Chen Zhao pointed at the distance where thick smoke could be seen.

"That's… s.h.i.+t! That's a winery! It's on fire! My son works there!"

Bant turned the steering wheel and the truck raced towards the burning winery.

At the moment, the area outside the winery was already a mess. The first four floors of the six-storey building were ablaze and the people outside had no way of going in.

On the fifth and sixth floors, there were people calling for help. Because it was too high, n.o.body dared to jump down.

They could only wait for the firefighters to arrive.

Suddenly, however, Walter who was in the trunk of the vehicle jumped down and charged into the fireground directly.

"s.h.i.+t! Your dog just ran in..."

Chen Zhao was also dumbfounded. He knew that Walter used to save people in water, but it was a fireground this time.

Chen Zhao glanced at Carrie. She was an ice demon and her icy power could greatly weaken the fire.

However, she must not use it publicly. Chen Zhao signaled Carrie with his eyes while he also charged into the fireground.

Carrie followed Chen Zhao closely into the building, leaving Bant astonished. How did they dare to charge into such a huge fire?

All the first four floors were afire. Even the vents were spouting flames.

However, Chen Zhao and his pets actually dashed into the fireground one after another.

Just then, Walter dragged a person out from the building with his mouth.

Realizing this, Bant and the other few people outside ran up immediately and poured water onto the wounded victim.

Bant and the rest all looked at Walter respectfully.

Walter was in a bad shape. His originally bright hair was partially charred.

However, after saving a person, Walter actually went back into the fireground again.

Chen Zhao was actually not in any danger. Carrie was right beside him and the fire could not even go near them.

In the fire, Chen Zhao saw a person trembling at a corner of a room.

Chen Zhao immediately went up. The person was alive and not really injured, but he was half-unconscious.

"Carrie, use your power on him."

Carrie cast her icy power on the victim at once. In such a situation, her power would only protect him instead of harm him.

Walter had already returned to Chen Zhao, who carried the victim on his back. "Walter, Carrie, continue searching for people who're alive. I'll carry him out. Carrie, cast your icy power on me as well."

Very soon, Chen Zhao s.h.i.+vered and his body was covered in a thin layer of ice. This would protect him from the high temperature outside.

Chen Zhao quickly charged out from the pa.s.sage. The condition of the air around him was really too bad.

Once Chen Zhao was out of the fireground, Bant and the rest walked up.

"Chen, it's too risky."

"He's still alive. Give me a bucket of water. I'm going in again."

"Chen, I know that you want to save them, but..."

"Quick. My kids are still inside."

Chen Zhao thought that since he was already involved, he might as well continue helping the people inside.

Moreover, he would surely gain a significant amount of demonic crystals by saving these people.

Even if Chen Zhao was not really a hero, Walter was definitely one.

Unable to convince Chen Zhao, Bant grabbed a bucket of water and poured onto himself first. "I'm going in with you. My son is also inside."

"No, I'm going alone. I can't take care of two people at the same time." Chen Zhao did not want Carrie's ability to be seen by others. "Wait for me outside. Tell me your son's features. I'll bring him out."

"Around the same age as you. Short hair. Tattoo on his neck."

"Alright."

Chen Zhao poured a bucket of water onto himself and charged into the fireground again.

Soon, Walter dragged another person out.

Just then, the firemen finally arrived.

"Great, we're finally here. Who can tell me what's the situation now?" The captain of the firefighters instructed his team to ready the water gun as he asked the people around, "Did you save those few people?"

"No, they were saved by Chen and his pets. That's Chen's dog. It's a hero and has dragged two people out already. Chen is still inside..." Bant was extremely nervous. He was worried for both Chen and his son whom he had not heard about yet.

Just as Bant and the firefighters were talking, Walter charged into the fireground again.

The captain was astounded. "Did it go in just like this? With such a large fire, we can't even go near the entrance with our fire suit..."

"Yes, so it's a hero. Both its master and it are heroes."

Soon, another person walked out from the building. Chen Zhao dragged another victim out again.

Seeing the person dragged out by Chen Zhao, Bant immediately shouted in surprise, "Ken, Ken..."

Chen Zhao was also somewhat exhausted. It was too tiring to move in the fireground.

"Do you have an oxygen mask? He has taken in too much smoke. Pour some water onto him first and then give him some oxygen."

"Chen, thank you..."

"Let me go. I'm going in again."

"Buddy, you've done enough. Leave the rest to us. You can't go in again; the fire's too big."

"No way. My kids are still inside. I can't leave them there."

"Then wear this. It can protect you." The firefighter captain gave Chen Zhao a fire suit.

"Okay." Without hesitation, Chen Zhao wore the fire suit. Then, the firefighters beside him poured some water onto him with the water gun.

The captain looked at Chen Zhao who was running into the building. "I like this guy."

Bant also stared at Chen Zhao's back as he performed first aid on his son according to Chen Zhao's instructions. "Me too. He saved my son."

Soon, Walter came out again, saving another person.

After that, he ran into the building again. The captain and his team members were all bewildered.

Most animals were very scared of fire. Even the most obedient pet would run away from a fire scene right away.

They had never seen a pet that would go near a fire by itself.

"That guy went in again. It's really strong to drag such a big person."

"I feel that it should belong to our fire brigade."

"No, it belongs to our Mountain Town. Both its master and it belong here."

A few minutes later, Chen Zhao carried a person out while dragging another with his hand. He had already given his fire suit to the person on his back.

After a while, Walter and Carrie also came out from the building, with Walter dragging one more person out.
