Chapter 24 Thunder! Wildfire!
The next morning, Chen Chuan got up from bed as usual.
As a result, today's weather is not as sunny as usual.
He heard the sound of raindrops hitting the roof, on the leaves, and on the soil outside.
There was a fresh fragrance in the air, and looking out the window, the woods seemed to have become much clearer.
Yesterday, Chen Chuan’s sense of smell and vision were doubly enhanced. When he woke up today and it was raining, he felt like he was reborn.
He admired the rain outside the window for a while. The falling raindrops were not big, but the sky and the earth were a little dark, which meant that there were dark clouds in the sky above his head. This was actually very common in the forest. Perhaps it would rain soon.
Just as he thought this, a dull rumble was heard in the distance.
"It's thundering so early in the morning, what a weather like this."
Chen Chuan curled his lips, stretched his head out to look at Erha and Daimao, and saw that the two animals were in their nests, sleeping or in a daze.
He returned to bed and covered himself with the quilt again.
The benefits of the forest ranger profession are once again demonstrated. With such heavy rain, he certainly won't be able to patrol the mountains.
So now, I can take a nap with a clear conscience!
Is there anything in the world that is more comfortable than sleeping on a rainy day like this?
But God didn't seem to do as he wished. As soon as his head hit the pillow, a white light flashed before his eyes.
There seemed to be a flash between heaven and earth, so bright that Chen Chuan sat up directly from the bed.
As soon as the white light flashed, muffled thunder sounded above.
As we all know, the speed of sound propagation is slower than that of light. The lightning we see and the thunder we hear in the past often do not appear at the same time.
That's because lightning is too far away from us.
The appearance of this lightning and the sound occurred almost simultaneously!
"Boom!"
It was like an explosion next to his ears. Chen Chuan felt that this thunder had caused tinnitus in his ears.
At the same time, Chen Chuan seemed to hear the sound of trees being struck down where the lightning struck.
In his twenty years of life, this was the first time he had encountered lightning so close to him.
Tiny humans were unable to muster the slightest resistance in the face of the might of heaven. He took a deep breath, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Fortunately, although the cabin was built on a high ground, it was far away from the surrounding woods.
The taller the tree, the more lightning will be attracted. His small cabin, which is like a matchbox, has the same chance of being struck by lightning as winning the lottery.
Not only him, but also Daimao and Erha were frightened and poked their heads out from their nests.
Daimao seemed to be frightened. He flew down from his nest, stood in front of Chen Chuan's window sill, and looked at Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan couldn't do anything with this little guy, so he opened the door and motioned for it to come in.
"唳~"
Daimao barked happily twice, flew to the desk and looked at the rain outside.
Just as Chen Chuan was about to close the door, a dog's head popped through the crack in the door and looked towards Chen Chuan.
"Wang Wang."
Chen Chuan had a blank expression on his face.
"You are a Kazakh land warrior after all. Are you afraid of thunder?"
Erha nodded rapidly.
The system seemed to be fighting with the animal, and it shouted in my mind. [A fire was detected 200 meters southwest]
[Mission released: While the fire is not too big, go to the forest to put out the fire, kill the fire at the source, and protect the animals' homes. ]
Chen Chuan was suddenly startled.
Fire?
He first glanced at the drizzling rain outside and suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
How can a fire catch on this mountain on a rainy day?
Suddenly thinking of the knowledge in the ranger badge, he felt relieved.
Indeed, it is common sense that fires are unlikely to occur on rainy days. But in fact, most mountain fires, especially large ones, are caused by lightning on rainy days.
As the saying goes, thunder from heaven and fire from earth, it is nothing more than this.
"Since there's a fire, there's no time to waste."
Chen Chuan changed into fireproof gear as quickly as possible, glanced at his phone, thought about it, and decided to pick it up and put on a fireproof bag.
Forest fires are relatively rare. Just like the game with the poisonous snake yesterday, he could broadcast it live and show the people in the live broadcast room how to deal with forest fires, which would be a good thing.
His eyes scanned the fire-fighting equipment in the room, and finally, his gaze fixed on the backpack fire extinguisher.
He had noticed this machine a long time ago.
He had never been exposed to this kind of advanced equipment before. Fortunately, he had tried it several times in the past few days and was basically familiar with the operation process.
Without saying a word, he put the machine on his back and walked out the door.
This time we are not patrolling the mountains, but fighting a fire, so there is no need to bring the Husky along.
As soon as the fireproof boots stepped on the ground, the ground felt slightly muddy. But fortunately, these boots are very professional, and anyone who knows how to walk will not fall in the mud.
He looked to the southwest, and sure enough, there was fire there, with wisps of smoke rising.
If he delayed for a second longer, the disaster would expand. He didn't have time to think about it and ran towards the forest quickly.
While running, he clicked on his phone and started the live broadcast, preparing to broadcast the fire-fighting operation.
His live broadcasts now have an average of several hundred viewers and nearly a thousand fans. Therefore, as soon as the broadcast starts, there are quite a few people in the live broadcast room.
What the audience saw was a slightly blurred image that was constantly shaking.
When I looked closely, I found that the direction facing the picture was actually a forest, with flickering fire and floating smoke in the forest.
"Brothers, wake up! It's so early in the morning and we can see the forest on fire!"
"When I saw the live broadcast push, I was still wondering why the anchor was broadcasting so early. It was usually around 9 o'clock. I didn't expect that the forest was on fire!"
"Isn't it raining around the camera? If it's raining, why are forests still on fire?!"
"The man upstairs, you ate a bite of food, why do you still feel hungry? It's a simple reason, the rain is too light, but the fire is too big."
Two hundred meters is not far, and he arrived at the scene of the incident in a short while.
Since the equipment alone weighs nearly ten kilograms, plus the fire extinguisher on the back, the total weight is about twenty kilograms.
He was a little tired and took a breath.
While observing the surroundings and confirming the source of the wildfire, he used the break time to answer questions in the live broadcast room.
"This is a wildfire caused by lightning. On a thunderstorm like this with small raindrops and loud thunder, there is a high probability of causing a wildfire."
"And I'm not broadcasting the wildfire live for you, I'm broadcasting how to deal with the wildfire. Now I'm wearing fireproof equipment, and my purpose is to put out the fire!"
