The speaker's face lit up with surprise.
"Where is she?"
"Are she and the children outside?"
The speaker's eyes brightened.
If that was the case, it was a stroke of luck in the midst of misfortune.
Though their belongings might be damaged, the best outcome was that everyone was safe.
"No."
Someone relayed the answer. "She's at work."
"The two children..."
"They're both at home."
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
A few seconds later, voices rose.
"Both children are at home!?"
"Oh my God."
"This is terrible."
"Two such young children..."
"They don't know anything..."
"...and they can't do anything."
"Who knows if they've passed out..."
The firefighters all looked tense.
Two children were waiting for them to rescue them.
The ladder was quickly raised.
The fully equipped firefighters nimbly climbed up it.
Boom!
Flames burst out.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The firefighter instinctively leaned back.
The ladder shook violently.
The rescue effort reached an impasse.
The fire was too intense.
And it was growing stronger by the moment.
The firefighters couldn't get close to the house at all.
Let alone rescue the children inside.
The firefighters shouted toward the house again.
If they were lucky enough...
For instance, if the children were near a window...
Then the rescue would undoubtedly be a little easier.
Unfortunately.
The firefighters got no response at all.
The outcome was clearly grim.
The children might have been overcome by the thick smoke and fallen unconscious.
Or they might have been injured...
And unable to move.
Their location might make it impossible for the firefighters outside to hear them.
Whatever the possibility, it made the rescue extremely difficult.
"Xiao Ling!"
"Xiao He!"
"My children!"
Xu He's mother had rushed back.
