Simulation Game: Crisis Management

"Do not cause panic. Sergeant Herman has already reserved 4 minutes of backup time. Everyone, stay close to the group."

Luca stepped forward and scolded.

Indeed, although the lifespan of the gas mask is only about half an hour, Gu Ji still allotted enough escape time in advance, considering accidents and the spread of chlorine.

After everyone rushed out of the factory.

The surrounding Western-style buildings were deserted. The streets were littered with disheveled clothes, shoes, and collided vehicles. Occasionally, you could see droplets of blood on the ground, as if doomsday had arrived.

They ran for four to five hundred meters continuously, and the chlorine gas around them gradually thinned.

Gu Ji could also hear noisy discussions in the distance, along with the hissing sound of water sprays.

He used a flashlight to signal light ahead of time.

As they rushed out of the chlorine fog, they saw a group of soldiers in white coats, black rubber boots, and gas masks surrounding the street intersection not far away.

At this moment, they were leading the firefighters, holding water spray guns to decontaminate the chlorine fog.

It was the Hans Army's chemical defense troops summoned by Deputy Mayor Otto.

When the chemical defense soldiers saw Gu Ji and others rushing out of the poisonous fog, they were initially a bit startled. It wasn't until their captain gave an order that they started spraying water over.

"Quick, decontaminate them now!"

Seeing this, Gu Ji gently placed Ler on the ground.

Then under the spray of the water gun, he took off the gas masks for the two of them. Without the masks obstructing them, their vision and breathing were noticeably more comfortable.

Only then did Eugen and the others realize that because they had been exposed to a high concentration of chlorine gas for a long time, the originally tightly wrapped white sheets on their bodies had long turned into a pale yellow-green, as if they had rolled around on the grass.

"All patients whose skin has been exposed to chlorine gas, immediately take off your clothes and wash the affected area for 15 minutes continuously!"

He said while helping Ler wash his face and the corners of his eyes.

Among all the patients, Ler was the most severely injured, because the underground gas storage room he went to was where the chlorine leak was most concentrated. His eyes were bloodshot and swollen, his skin began to crack, and a rash resembling a hemorrhagic fever appeared on the surface. His chest was unable to suppress coughing, and there was blood in his sputum.

"Ler, open your mouth, bear with it. Your poisoning symptoms are very deep, you must wash your stomach immediately."

Gu Ji pinched open Ler's mouth and let him drink clean water.

This feeling of being forced to drink a large amount of water was not unlike the ancient water torture.

Within three to four seconds, Ler choked until he was suffocating and instinctively vomited it out.

A large amount of yellow-green viscous fluid flowed to the ground. He again extracted a large amount of activated charcoal powder from a new filter cartridge for the gas mask, "Ler, swallow it, it will help you completely absorb the chlorine remaining in your stomach."

Ler had long been tormented by pain and asphyxiation to the verge of confusion.

But he still relied on his strong will, following Gu Ji's orders, to swallow the black powder down.

Eugen stood aside, feeling both heartache and confusion seeing his old superior in this state:

"Why did Officer Ler push himself so hard? Didn't he know to get out as quickly as possible?"

"How could an officer from the Army Academy not know the power of chlorine gas? Ler just wanted to use his abilities to protect the citizens of the Empire..."

Luca, while explaining, couldn't help but recall the two sentences Gu Ji said at the military base this morning.

The duty of a soldier is to defend the country and its people.

Ler originally had gradually lost his fighting spirit on the battlefield of the Southern Outlying Islands, perhaps it was precisely because of this sentence that he rekindled his desire to fight.

"Eugen, help me dissolve the tablets with water."

Gu Ji ignored the exchange between the two and instead found a brown bakelite small box from the gas mask canister at his waist.

The box contained auxiliary protective accessories for the gas mask. Each Hans soldier was equipped with anti-gas agents for skin and weapons to urgently treat skin damage caused by mustard gas, chlorine gas, etc.

These purification tablets need to be dissolved in water, mixed into a paste, and applied to the affected area. They can only be used on the skin surface and are not for use on eyes, mouth, or genitals.

"Your experience with chemical defense is quite rich."

A short middle-aged chemical defense soldier suddenly came from behind, "I'm Franz, the chemical defense team leader of the Chemical Tower in Ludwig Port. Are you the Sergeant Herman mentioned by the Deputy Mayor?"

"Hello, Sir. Ler needs emergency treatment now. He now has localized alveolar pulmonary edema, which could cause reflex suppression of the respiratory center at any time."

Even though Gu Ji relied on the "Bacterial Biochemistry and Radiation Crisis Response" to conduct emergency treatment on Ler, the chlorine damage to his lungs was already very serious. If he wasn't a soldier and knew some experience like covering his mouth and nose with wet clothes, he would have died in the basement a long time ago.

Franz hurriedly called two chemical defense soldiers to lift Ler onto a stretcher.

Then he looked at Gu Ji.

"What's the situation inside now?"

"The leak point is the chlorine storage tank stored in the basement of the chlorine production factory, the exact cause of the leak is still unclear. Workers say it is suspected that high temperature from an explosion caused a pipe leak, and the factory's safety facilities didn't work."

"Ler risked his life to urgently close the storage tank's directional wheel valve, but there is still the risk of a secondary leak. Currently, there are still eight or nine workers trapped inside the chlorine production factory."

Gu Ji was reporting the situation inside the factory to Franz when he saw Deputy Mayor Otto and several leaders coming over, and quickly asked:

"Deputy Mayor Otto, have you found Goring?"
