Chapter 488 Fire Fighting
Today is the 3rd, which is three days away from the fire in my previous life.
Hua Yan hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone and calling Secretary Wang.
"Secretary Li, this is Hua Yan. I need to speak with Old Master Wang. Could you please ask him for my permission?"
If Secretary Li can get her to speak with Mr. Wang on the phone, things might take a turn for the better.
"Jiu'er, Old Master Wang happens to have some time now, let me ask him for you."
Like Elder Wang, Secretary Li also called Hua Yan Jiu'er, which was also to show his closeness, because he knew how much Elder Wang valued Hua Yan, and being able to summon Hua Yan to Zhongnanhai was a strong proof of this.
"Thank you, Secretary Li!"
"Jiu'er, don't mention it, it was nothing."
Secretary Li is also a shrewd person. Being able to maintain a good relationship with Hua Yan can only benefit him and not harm him. The key is that he also saw Hua Yan's extraordinary qualities.
A short while later, Secretary Li called.
"Hello! Is this Jiu'er?"
It was Mr. Wang's voice, still as approachable as ever.
"Mr. Wang, it's me, Jiu'er. I hope I haven't disturbed your work!"
"Haha! No. Calling must mean something important, go ahead!"
Old Wang knew that Hua Yan wouldn't call him unless it was something serious.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for your trust in me. I took advantage of my vacation these past two days to come to Heilongjiang Province to personally search for biological weapons."
However, when I entered the forest, I found it to be very dry and hot, with strong winds. The weather forecast predicted strong winds in the mountains for the next few days, and I was somewhat worried about fire prevention efforts here.
Hua Yan spoke very cautiously and earnestly, hoping to attract Mr. Wang's attention.
"Jiu'er, I understand. Take care of yourself."
Old Wang looked serious and didn't forget to give Hua Yan a piece of advice.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I will."
After hanging up the phone, Hua Yan lost interest in searching for biological weapons and went to the forest farm in Mohe County first.
When Old Wang received Hua Yan's call, he knew she had discovered a problem and was worried it might escalate into something serious, but she didn't have the authority to speak directly with the forestry station's management, which was why she called him. Hua Yan wouldn't have made that call so easily if she wasn't worried about something serious happening.
Therefore, Mr. Wang instructed Secretary Li to immediately notify the Ministry of Agriculture that the forest fire prevention order should be issued today and delivered to every forest farm within one day.
After receiving Secretary Li's call, the Ministry of Agriculture was thrown into chaos. No one dared to be perfunctory, because this was an order personally given by Old Master Wang, and they could not take it lightly.
When Hua Yan arrived in Mohe County, she saw staff members driving around and setting up "No Smoking" signs in prominent locations.
According to the records, Hua Yan found the location of the fire caused by a gasoline leak in her previous life.
Today is May 4th, two days before the fire. Hua Yan is patrolling this area. When she gets tired, she goes into her spatial dimension to rest. When she gets hungry, she eats the food inside.
No trace of gasoline leak was found on the first day, nor on the second. Before they knew it, it was May 6th. Hua Yan was extremely nervous, constantly pacing back and forth where she had made her notes.
Haha! It's true that major events can't be changed by the appearance of some nobody.
Hua Yan saw workers refueling the machines, leaving large oil stains on the ground, as if oil drums had tipped over and spilled everywhere. She just watched from a distance, not going over, because she knew that if she went to ask them to clean it up, it would offend them and create a negative reaction.
After these people finished refueling, they didn't bother to clean up the oil stains; instead, they drove off. Hua Yan shook her head helplessly, immediately went forward, took out a wooden shovel from her spatial storage, collected the gasoline-soaked soil into a box, and then put it back into her spatial storage, letting it completely disappear from the forest.
To Hua Yan's surprise, after she cleaned up the oil stain and was focused on going to another fire site, the car that had just driven away suddenly started leaking fuel for some unknown reason.
In a deserted place, Hua Yan took out the car from her spatial storage for easier movement, hoping to reach the next fire location as quickly as possible.
Because there was only one road in the forest, Hua Yan walked behind the car. Luckily, there was only one road in this area; otherwise, Hua Yan couldn't imagine that after all her efforts, nothing would have been avoided.
Hua Yan's eyesight was exceptional; she spotted an oil stain on the ground from afar, and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. Fortunately, her car was sturdy, and she quickly caught up with the other vehicle by following the oil stain.
Without much thought, Hua Yan stepped on the gas and stopped the car, then jumped out.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you stopping our car?"
The driver of the oil-leaking truck stuck his head out and shouted loudly.
"Sir, your car is leaking oil. This is very dangerous. Please check it quickly."
After hearing Hua Yan's words, everyone in the car got out—four people in total—and looked at the fuel tank at the same time. There really was a leak! What happened? The four were somewhat bewildered. The driver checked it.
"Thank you, young lady. It would have been dangerous if we had missed the whole way."
"Yes! If gasoline comes into contact with an unidentified source of fire, the consequences could be terrible."
"Yeah! That was pretty scary. Oh dear! We leaked some oil when we were refueling. Quick! Clean up the leaking oil."
As people working in the forest, they knew the dangers of gasoline, but since no accidents had occurred, they had become complacent.
"You can't use iron shovels, you have to use wooden shovels. I have a few here, you can take them."
Hua Yan put the wooden shovel from her spatial storage onto the car and then gave it to those people.
Realizing the danger, these people didn't hesitate and quickly cleaned up the mess.
Fortunately, these people hadn't driven too far, and Hua Yan had cleaned up quickly enough and the car was fast enough to catch up in the shortest time; otherwise, who knows how much oil would have leaked from the truck.
The driver was responsible for repairing the fuel tank and siphoning all the fuel out of it.
Hua Yan didn't leave; she waited until they had cleaned up all the oil stains before driving away.
After Hua Yan left, the group realized that this little girl had saved their lives and the forest farm's life. However, she seemed a bit too young; how could she drive alone, and the car she was driving was one they had never seen before.
Filled with lingering fear and questions, they checked again. They also discovered that someone had cleaned up the oil that had leaked during refueling.
Oh dear! That was really close. If Hua Yan hadn't known beforehand, and if she hadn't had such exceptional eyesight, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The distance between Mohe and Tahe is 200 kilometers, which is not a short distance. Huayan must go there as quickly as possible.
Three hours later, Hua Yan arrived at Tahe Forest Farm, covered in dust. Not knowing the exact location, Hua Yan could only drive around to check.
An hour later, thick smoke rose into the sky ten kilometers away from Huayan.
When Hua Yan saw the thick smoke, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. Despite all her precautions, she still couldn't avoid it, and she felt a sense of defeat.
Undeterred, she immediately drove there. Someone had already discovered the fire and was organizing its extinguishing.
But the wind was too strong, and the person with the fire extinguisher couldn't get close at all. The heat wave hit them in the face, causing panic for a moment.
Fueled by the wind, the fire was threatening to rage. Hua Yan parked the car a short distance away and then, when no one was looking, secretly put it into her spatial storage. She had no choice; if the car caught fire, it might explode.
Before the fire department arrived, the fire had already become uncontrollable.
Hua Yan quickly ran to the center of the fire, then sat on the ground. With a thought, she did her best to envelop all the fire points within her spatial barrier.
