Chapter 257
In the middle of the night, the silent construction site was almost pitch black, and densely packed scaffolding stood eerie on the construction site.In the depths of the construction site, there was a faint burst of fire.
A row of all-black vehicles suddenly galloped silently from the distant night, and the bright headlights in front of the vehicles instantly illuminated the pitch-black construction site.
Several well-trained and vigorous young people quickly got out of the car and scattered away quickly.
The last car stopped, and Huo Beixiao jumped out of the car first. He turned to the car and said, "You stay here..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Nuanxin had already opened the car door and got out of the car behind Huo Beixiao.
Without saying a word, Huo Beixiao already understood what she meant.
Sighing helplessly, Huo Beixiao extended a hand towards Xia Nuanxin.Admonish: "Be careful there are falling objects under your feet, follow me closely."
Huo Beixiao wore a professional headlamp for walking at night, held Xia Nuanxin's hand tightly, and walked slowly into the depths of the construction site.
She didn't sleep all night, Xia Nuanxin's eye circles were dark, but her eyes were wide open, staring at the distance in the dark night without blinking, as if she could emit light.
There was a lot of construction waste on the construction site, and the ground was full of uneven stones. Xia Nuanxin tripped over more than once, and was supported by Huo Beixiao's strong arms, but the sharp edges and corners still cut her delicate flesh.
Xia Nuanxin didn't feel anything at all.
The two walked for a while, and there were several forks in the road ahead.
This community is very large, with an original construction area of more than 50 square meters. It is impossible to see the end at a glance, and every building looks similar.
Huo Beixiao picked a random direction and was about to move on, but Xia Nuanxin suddenly grabbed his arm.
Xia Nuanxin pointed to the front right and said, "There is light there."
Huo Beixiao turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a faint glimmer of light coming from a tall building about 200 meters away: "It's a building that just started construction recently. The scaffolding was just put up and it was shut down. It's more dangerous over there, otherwise you are in Wait, let me go and see?"
"No." Xia Nuan shook her head resolutely, broke free from Huo Beixiao's hand, and went in the direction of the firefly light regardless.
Huo Beixiao was full of helplessness, looking at the stubborn person who was stumbling ahead, he felt unspeakably distressed.
He took two quick steps to catch up with Xia Nuanxin, but he still had no choice but to lead her forward in the dark night.
About 100 meters away from the house, Xia Nuanxin tripped over a wooden plank protruding from the road, and her knees softened and hit the ground, sharp pain suddenly came from her knees.
But unexpectedly, Huo Beixiao didn't immediately help her up this time, his gaze pierced through the darkness, nailed to the scaffolding not far away.
At about the twelfth floor, there was a small figure swaying slightly in the air.
Huo Beixiao's heart skipped a beat, he could hardly believe his eyes.
Is Mo Yixuan really crazy?
At the moment of this pause, Xia Nuanxin stood up from the ground.
The headlight on Huo Beixiao's head looked in his direction, and it just hit the figure in front of him who was dropped in the air by a rope.
Just a glance from a distance, Xia Nuanxin was almost sure.
That is Charlotte City!
Xia Nuanxin's pale face suddenly lost its color, her legs trembled, and she almost lost her footing.
Huo Beixiao's warm palm firmly supported her, silently conveying this support to her.
Xia Nuanxin didn't cry out as she choked up in her throat. She knew she couldn't cry, otherwise she might completely lose the courage to move forward.
With trembling hands, she grasped Huo Beixiao's lapel tremblingly, and asked in a barely perceptible voice: "Is he... is he still alive?"
The voice was so small, it almost drifted into the night sky when it was blown by the cold wind in the middle of the night.
But Huo Beixiao heard it, and his firm answer penetrated the darkness, and came to Xia Nuanxin's ear: "Alive!"
Immediately afterwards, he quickened his pace and quickly came under the scaffolding.
Just as he thought in his mind, the city of Charlotte was tied up in mid-air with a rope, and the other end of the rope passed through a pulley and was tied to a scaffold on the twelfth floor. At the same place, a candle trembled. swaying in the night wind.
Huo Beixiao thumped in his heart, if the candle burns out, then the city of Charlotte that was dropped in mid-air...
Xia Nuanxin obviously noticed this too, she suddenly pushed Huo Beixiao's hand away forcefully, and was about to climb up while holding on to the scaffolding, but she was frightened all night, at this moment her hands and feet were cold, her whole body was trembling and she had no strength at all , but just stepped on, and immediately slid down.
But she didn't seem to notice it, and tried again and again until Huo Beixiao forcefully picked her up and kept her away from the scaffolding.
Xia Nuanxin danced wildly with her hands and feet, and hissed, "Let me go! I'm going to save Chenchen!"
"Calm down! Of course Chenchen will be saved! I'll go up!" Huo Beixiao's shout cut through the night, and finally reached Xia Nuanxin's ears.
"Listen to me, take your mobile phone, immediately notify Assistant Yang and the police, and explain the situation to them clearly. I'll go up and save Chenchen now!"
Xia Nuanxin raised her head and looked at the scaffolding that hadn't been laid with a net bag, her eyes showed deep worry, and she climbed up with bare hands like this, if she was not careful, she would easily fall off.
One can imagine what would happen if one fell from such a high place.
But Xia Luocheng was hanging on it, and she couldn't say anything to tell Huo Beixiao not to go up, so she burst into tears immediately.
Huo Beixiao held Xia Nuanxin's face in both hands, put his forehead against Xia Nuanxin's forehead, and looked at her firmly.
"Trust me, Chenchen will be fine! Call quickly!"
After saying this, Huo Beixiao checked the position up and down, and climbed up to the first section of the scaffolding.
Because it was the middle of the night, the dew was deeper, and the tentacles of the entire scaffold were lubricated, and it was easy to fall if not careful. Huo Beixiao looked up, carefully looking for an easy place to land, and stepped on every step accurately and steadily.
But even so, his speed was still too slow.
As the sky gradually turned white, the night wind gradually subsided. When the wind heard the wind, the candle on the twelfth floor stopped shaking immediately, and the flickering flame instantly ignited the thick knot.
Xia Nuanxin called Assistant Yang while trembling, while watching Huo Beixiao climb up step by step in fear.
She didn't even dare to open her mouth to call Charlotte, she was afraid that she would not answer how she called Charlotte, and she was also afraid that when he woke up, because she was afraid of heights and moving around in the air, the flame would burn even faster.
When Huo Beixiao climbed to about the fifth floor, the siren whistled and approached slowly, and Assistant Yang arrived with Huo Beixiao's men.
The police who came saw this scene and immediately called someone to pull the air cushion.
"This...it's too dangerous." An elderly fireman looked up and immediately said with emotion.
Seeing this, several of Huo Beixiao's subordinates also wanted to climb up, but they were stopped by the police.
"Look at this scaffolding, it's clearly not set up properly. There are three to five fixing screws on a normal scaffolding, but this one has only two. It's dangerous for one person to go up. If you go up again, are you afraid that the scaffolding won't collapse? ?"
Several subordinates were reprimanded by the old policeman, and immediately stood there at a loss what to do, and could only watch helplessly as Huo Beixiao climbed higher and higher by himself.
The candle has completely burned the hemp rope. With this effort, the rope will be completely burnt in a short time. At that time, Charlotte City at the other end of the rope will directly fall to the ground...
The height of the twelfth floor falls, even if there is a cushion... I'm afraid it won't have any protective effect.
Huo Beixiao glanced upwards, gritted his teeth, and accelerated his speed upwards. Seeing that he was about to reach the twelfth floor, when he stepped up to the last bamboo joint, he suddenly stepped on the air, and the bamboo that was originally fixed below The joint broke instantly, and fell straight down from the height of the twelfth floor.
The policemen below were yelling desperately to disperse the crowd, but at this moment, Xia Nuanxin could barely hear anything.
The two people she loves the most in this life are all hung on it, and at this moment, no matter what anyone says, she doesn't want to let go, she is afraid that if she misses a glance, it will become a farewell.
At this time, all right and wrong are no longer important in Xia Nuanxin's heart. The only thing she hopes in her heart is that the two people above can come down safely.
After Huo Beixiao stepped on the air, his body suddenly hung in the air.Fortunately, he has been exercising all the time, and his arm strength is amazing. The moment his body lost his balance, he managed to grab an iron pillar at the top.
The body swung a bit in the air and reattached to the scaffolding.
Huo Beixiao's whole body broke out in a layer of cold sweat. He grabbed the iron pillar with one hand, and tried to snuff out the candle with the other.
Before the hand touched the candle wick, the burning rope suddenly snapped.
Huo Beixiao's pupils contracted crazily at that moment, accompanied by exclamations from below, he decisively let go of the iron pillar, leaned forward sharply, and caught the rope the moment it bounced back. Knots still burning with flames.
The scorching flames suddenly went out in Huo Beixiao's hands, and Huo Beixiao was also scalded by the hot flames on his palm.
Because the iron pillar had been loosened, his only support at the moment was the rope, but Huo Beixiao's weight was too heavy, and he couldn't balance Charlotte City at all.
The moment Huo Beixiao grabbed the rope, Xia Luocheng's body was lifted up rapidly by the rope, and was about to hit the pulley on the top.
Huo Beixiao had quick eyes and quick hands, and only by the inertia of the rope, he immediately stepped on the scaffolding on the other side, and immediately released the pressure in his hands, causing Xia Luocheng's body to fall down again.
The people watching from below didn't dare to show their anger, until Huo Beixiao carefully pulled Xia Luocheng into his arms, his heart finally fell to the ground.
At this time, skilled firefighters got on the scaffold from a stronger place on the other side, and rescued the two with special ropes.
