I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2938: Chapter 2938: Unusual Fire Situation

"The first group’s recruitment is full, no more recruits, everyone go back."

Lin Yi impatiently waved them off, not wanting to entertain the newcomers.

"Team Leader Lin, don’t be so quick to refuse." Wei Jia stepped forward and said:

"Although the first group is the ace of the Central Guards Brigade, it can’t always have just seven members..."

"Eight."

Lin Yi’s words interrupted Wei Jia, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He quickly realized that the team leader was also part of the group.

But only those in the first group knew that the eighth person Lin Yi referred to was not himself.

"Yes, yes, it’s eight." Wei Jia said:

"But we think a team always needs fresh blood. We hope Team Leader Lin can give us a chance to be evaluated."

Lin Yi glanced at the six people and said:

"How did you find this place?"

"Mr. Yang told us." Wei Jia responded:

"We genuinely want to join the first group and hope Team Leader Lin can give us an opportunity."

"Then I’ll give you a chance."

Lin Yi pulled the bolt back on his gun, aimed at Wei Jia’s head, and said:

"If you can dodge a bullet, I’ll recruit you into the first group."

The six were dumbfounded.

"Team Leader Lin, even if you don’t want to recruit us, there’s no need for this." Su Wen said:

"It’s impossible for us to dodge bullets."

It was clear that Su Wen’s tone was less polite than Wei Jia’s, believing Lin Yi’s demands were unreasonable.

"Why can’t you dodge it?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi aimed the gun at Yu Siying and then pulled the trigger!

Bang!

The bullet shot out!

At the moment Lin Yi pulled the trigger, Yu Siying reacted, doing a side roll to the back of a car.

Astonished!

The six stood like petrified statues.

This scene was absolutely eye-opening for them.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.

"Do any of you want to give it a try?" Lin Yi asked:

"If you can’t do it, you should leave now."

The six had nothing more to say.

They finally understood why the first group was called the ace.

These people were truly insane!

If the Central Guards Brigade was the most violent department, then the first group was an even more violent place.

With their current abilities, they truly weren’t qualified to enter the first group.

The six left one after another, and Lin Yi and the others began their training tasks.

Mountain climbing, sea diving, various challenges kept coming, and they were exhilarating, to say the least.

Lin Yi was relieved that no one had any adverse reactions after putting on the rings.

After watching the first group train for two days, Lin Yi returned to work.

Now for him, work was almost like a vacation.

"Lin Yi, yesterday, people from the first squad inspected again, and those key units have all been rectified and qualified, thanks largely to your efforts." Ding Fei said.

"Don’t just praise me verbally, give me something tangible." Lin Yi said with a smile.

"There’s something tangible for you too. From now on, you’ll be in charge of all the brigade’s fire safety work." Ding Fei said:

"Coincidentally, there’s a fire safety lecture at a university in a few days. You’re the main speaker. I’ll find some materials for you to review later."

"I feel like you’re messing with me." Lin Yi said, half-laughing, half-crying.

"You don’t know how lucky you are, kid." Ding Fei patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said:

"It’s an easy job without the need for training. Isn’t that great?"

"But if I can’t finish the task, won’t I get reprimanded?"

"But the thing is, when you’re involved, is there anything that won’t be completed?"

"As expected, you’re all like Huang Shiren... Riiiing—"

Before Lin Yi could finish, the alarm bell rang.

The third squad immediately sprung into action, got dressed, and rushed to the fire engine.

On the way to the scene, the situation was relayed in real-time.

An electric car parked in a residential area caught fire. Though the fire was significant, there was no risk of it spreading, as the crowd had been evacuated, and losses were under control.

In less than ten minutes, the fire engine arrived at the scene.

But surprisingly, the fire was bigger than imagined.

Even though nearby residents were trying to fight the fire, the situation was more severe than anticipated.

By the time they arrived, three cars were already burning, but for the experienced Ding Fei, it wasn’t a problem.

The fire was quickly brought under control.

"Damn it, can you believe this happened just while I parked to have a meal?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man, accompanied by a boy who appeared to be his son.

"Let’s not dwell on it. As long as everyone’s safe, it’s a blessing." Ding Fei comforted him.

"The main issue is this was a new car. Now it’s all burned, and how to claim insurance later will be a headache."

"Don’t put it that way, there’s still a backpack left."

Lin Yi retrieved a smoke-blackened backpack from the car’s back seat.

"The quality is pretty good, heat-resistant and waterproof, the homework inside isn’t burned, so learning is not interrupted."

Little boy: ???

Just kidding. I thank you for warming the four seasons of life.

"Your tone suggests you’re not a local resident, are you?" Ding Fei asked.

"No, my mom lives here. I came to bring her something and took my kid to grab a bowl of noodles, then this happened."

Ding Fei turned to the spectators, mostly older men and women.

"Does anyone know the cause of the fire?"

As firefighters, their job isn’t just to extinguish flames but also to find out the cause and fully document the incident afterward.

"It just suddenly caught fire, we don’t know why." an old man said.

"I happened to pass by and saw a few sparks, and shortly after, it was on fire." said a middle-aged man.

"Sparks?"

"Yes, at the charging point."

"That matches up."

Lin Yi held a charred segment of black wire and said:

"I found this at the scene, it seems the fire started from charging, and this car was a hybrid, otherwise, the fire wouldn’t be so intense."

"But regular house current is only 220 volts, it shouldn’t spark like that."

"If the voltage fluctuations are too large, it can happen."

"Voltage fluctuations..."

Ding Fei muttered, "In current times, household electricity rarely fluctuates, right?"

"I think we should investigate this matter to get to the bottom of it." Liu Qingfeng suggested.

Ding Fei nodded and looked at the middle-aged man who had provided some clues.

"Do you know whose car this is?"

"I think it’s from the fourth floor."

The middle-aged man pointed to the fourth floor and said:

"Earlier, I saw an electric wire dangling from there, it should belong to them."
