The situation is severe; every second counts.
Old Liu, who was walking towards Lin Chuan, suddenly froze in his steps. He hadn't expected that this guy, whom he considered of bad character, was actually rushing over to save people. Therefore, Old Liu immediately stopped walking, eager to see how Lin Chuan was going to perform the rescue amidst such a massive blaze. Not only were the police helpless, but even the firefighters could do nothing.
Soon after, a firefighter rushed over carrying a heavy roll of steel cable.
Lin Chuan grabbed the cable and ran forward. While running, he threaded the steel cable through his belt loops, tightens it around his waist, and slung the rest around his neck. He completed these actions with incredible speed, then sprinted towards the entrance of the Drum Tower.
The fire was blazing upwards, so the first and second floors were temporarily safe.
