214: An explosion occurred at the sugar factory.

Hearing the explosion, everyone looked over.

They saw an explosion at the Sugar Factory, and a huge cloud of smoke billowed out from it.

“Everyone, double-time… destination: the Sugar Factory…”

Lu Jing’s voice rang out.

Everyone sped up, quickly running towards the Sugar Factory.

Outsiders didn't know the Sugar Factory's secret, but Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen did.

The Sugar Factory was divided into several areas. The area closest to the mountain, which was called the R&D workshop, actually housed many Experts who were researching missiles.

With something happening at the Sugar Factory, they had to rush over immediately to rescue.

Xiao Niannian heard Lu Jing's words, and several scenarios flashed through her mind. She understood that this Sugar Factory was definitely an Arms Factory, with many Experts there.

Now that the Sugar Factory had exploded, there must be a big problem.

She wondered about the casualties.

Xiao Niannian rushed to the front; getting there earlier would surely save more people.

Seeing Xiao Niannian run so fast, the other Soldiers also ran even faster.

This Sugar Factory covered an area of over 30,000 square meters, with several tall buildings and ten chimneys of varying sizes. Its daily output reached over 200 tons, and more than 200 workers worked in three shifts. The area outside the Sugar Factory was also incredibly lively, with many houses built.

This place was even livelier than some parts of the county town.

“Boom.”

When they were still one or two hundred meters from the Sugar Factory, Xiao Niannian saw many people running from not far away, many with panicked and terrified expressions.

“It exploded.”

“People died in the explosion.”

“Run!”

“It’s on fire.”

Many people ran so fast that they even knocked over those in front of them.

From a distance, thick smoke was billowing from the Sugar Factory, and explosion sounds could be heard from time to time.

“Boom.”

“Crackling.”

“It exploded, quickly save people!”

“Such a big fire!”

Many workers ran outwards, but some comrades ran inwards.

There were also people running out, their faces covered in ash, completely blackened.

“Quick, put out the fire!”

“Quickly get the water pipes and fetch water…”

“Quickly report to the Public Security Comrade!”

The Sugar Factory was in chaos at this time, many people were crying and shouting, and some were shouting to put out the fire.

“Workshop Three exploded! Quickly move the items from other workshops, and the warehouse! We must protect the warehouse, absolutely cannot let the fire burn the warehouse, otherwise the entire Sugar Factory will be lost, and also the factories and residents’ homes around the Sugar Factory…”

Lu Jing walked towards the person who was shouting loudly.

“Factory Director Cheng.”

Hearing Lu Jing’s voice, Factory Director Cheng, who was anxiously pacing, looked over.

“Comrade Lu.”

He gripped Lu Jing’s hand excitedly, as if he had found a life raft.

“You’re here, that’s great.”

“Comrade Lu, Workshop Three exploded… please help us put out the fire quickly… we absolutely cannot let the fire spread to the warehouse, and even more so, not to the adjacent R&D workshop…”

Factory Director Cheng said anxiously.

He emphasized the R&D workshop, and Lu Jing immediately nodded.

“Did you call the Military Unit?”

“Just called.”

“Good, I’ll send people to fight the fire now. You have the Security Department personnel evacuate and relocate all the workers; they shouldn’t stay in the factory…”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Factory Director Cheng felt more confident after hearing Lu Jing’s words.

“Fang Qiang, call the unit and send people over.”

“Call the hospital and have them send doctors and nurses over…”

“Yes.”

Lu Jing picked out a few people.

“He Yong, Xiao Cui, Squad Leader Li… you few go and check the situation…”

“Yes.”

Xiao Niannian listened as Lu Jing called out more than ten people and arranged the rescue… “Xiao Niannian, you and Military Doctor Shen, along with others, treat the injured…”

Hearing Lu Jing’s words, Xiao Niannian immediately replied.

“Yes.”

In such a time, she obeyed commands. Lu Jing was the commander; whatever he told her to do, she would do.

Lu Jing’s familiarity with Factory Director Cheng indicated that Lu Jing was very familiar with everything in the candy factory. With such a large explosion, there must be many casualties.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Niannian heard cries.

“Quick, save him!”

“He was injured in the explosion, there's a lot of blood on his head…”

“This comrade’s hand was injured…”

Military Doctor Shen had brought out a lot of medicine today, and it was coming in handy now.

Seeing the rescued injured, Military Doctor Shen immediately rushed forward with his people.

“Quick, put him down…”

Xiao Niannian followed Military Doctor Shen, treating the injured. Her gaze went to the not-so-distant area where the fire was growing larger. She felt some concern for Lu Jing and the other comrades-in-arms.

“Quick, stop his bleeding…”

Military Doctor Shen and Niannian had collaborated several times, and he knew Xiao Niannian's skill at saving people.

Watching Xiao Niannian quickly stop the bleeding for the injured, Military Doctor Shen increasingly felt that Xiao Niannian was suited for medicine, but Comrade Xiao was also suited for other things.

At such a time, he couldn't afford to let his mind wander.

“Doctor… there’s a seriously injured person here, quickly save him!”

Someone ran out carrying a person who looked like charcoal, their voice cracking with urgency.

“Quick, over here.”

Military Doctor Shen had already had people bring some sheets, which were now laid on the ground.

Some tables were also moved, and some injured people were lying directly on them.

The few comrades from the Reconnaissance Battalion who remained were also participating in the rescue. Although they had participated in some rescues before, many were seeing such a large-scale explosion and such a serious situation for the first time.

However, they quickly calmed down and rapidly treated the injured.

Lu Jing led his people and quickly brought the situation under control. Those workers who were running around in fright or lying on the ground unable to move were also helped away by the comrades from the factory's Security Department. Lu Jing looked at the iron gate not far away.

“Connect the hoses…”

“Aim the water here…”

There were two teams fighting the fire, both from the Special Forces Brigade. They dragged over the nearby water pipes and began dousing the burning factory building of Workshop Three.

Xiao Niannian quickly cleaned the wounds of the injured.

More and more people came forward to help care for the injured.

Cries filled the air, and explosion sounds rang out from time to time.

Public Security Comrade quickly arrived, and at the same time, comrades from the Military Unit also arrived.

Doctors and nurses from the hospital also rushed over.

Seeing so many people treating the injured, Xiao Niannian decided to go save people.

Earlier, she treated the injured to better save those who were already hurt, but now, she was going to search for the injured and help extinguish the fire.

If the fire in Workshop Three wasn't put out and ignited the nearby warehouse, it would cause an even larger explosion.

“Military Doctor Shen, I’m going over there to save people.”

Hearing Xiao Niannian’s words, Military Doctor Shen immediately objected.

“No, other rescues are fine, but it’s too dangerous over there.”
