Gu Ji's first reaction upon seeing it was to think of chlorine gas!

Chlorine gas is a yellow-green gas at room temperature and pressure, with a strong pungent odor and is extremely toxic. It is suffocating and denser than air.

In modern industry, it is a very common chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, dyes, pesticides, disinfectants, bleaches, and various chlorides.

But in the early 19th century, besides the chemical field, it was also used on the battlefield.

This is the reason why the security personnel reacted so violently upon hearing the word "chlorine gas".

The first appearance of chlorine gas on the battlefield was during the First World War.

The Ypres gas battle, the first gas warfare in human history, the Hans Army used chlorine gas for the first time in an attack, thus opening the gates to hell. This green gas is irritating and corrosive, causing severe corrosion to the human body and ending a person's life by corroding the respiratory tract.

It can be said that as long as one breathes, they die!

During the entire First World War, a total of more than 50,000 tons of gas were used in warfare, directly causing more than 85,000 deaths. More than a million were poisoned, with the aftermath lingering for decades.

Although during World War II, countries were restricted by nationality laws and dared not use poisonous gas rashly, its terrifying destructive power still left a deep psychological shadow on both the military and civilians.

Gu Ji also ran frantically outside, carrying an injured employee on his back.

But these chlorine gases were really terrifying, like a variation of the Blood Cloud Array of Nether Spring Blood Demon in The Legend of Shu Mountain, pressing down from the sky as if to swallow all life in the entire city!

After much difficulty, he ran to the east gate of the factory.

He saw Luca and Eugen organizing the evacuation of employees and civilians. Even Luca, as part of the ace division troops, when he saw the increasingly dense yellow-green gas in the sky, his pupils showed fear.

Gu Ji handed the injured employee to the infirmary and shouted.

"Where's Ler? I asked him to find Goring, why hasn't the gas leak been contained?"

"Ler hasn't come back yet."

Luca suppressed his inner fear, "Herman, these gases are…"

"Yes, it's chlorine gas."

Even if Gu Ji didn't want to cause panic, he had to explain the seriousness of the current situation because if he didn't say it, the security personnel running out were also shouting, "Increase the number of personnel for evacuation immediately, have the military police arrived? Panic will soon spread throughout the city, and we need more manpower!"

Luca shook his head.

And at this moment, someone didn't know who shouted first.

"Get out of the way! What are you still doing here? There's a gas leak! Run quickly!"

"Ah!! That yellow-green stuff is toxic gas?"

"Run fast!"

"Get out of the way, damn it, don't block me!"

"Dad… boo hoo…"

...

This message exploded among the crowd like a powerful bomb, leaving no trace of the previous onlookers, they instantly scattered like birds and beasts in panic, shoving each other. A frail Hans woman unable to resist the force, stepped on a loose rock, accidentally lost balance and fell.

And as she fell, the crowd behind her was also tripped by her body and fell to the ground.

It snowballed like dominoes, causing multiple falls and overlap, with nearly a thousand workers and civilians piled up near the entrance of the production base.

Screams, cries, calls for help.

All sorts of sounds became chaotic, but the fearful group behind continued to push forward desperately, wishing to leave this dreadful factory as quickly as possible.

A stampede was happening!!

"There will be casualties, Luca, arrange personnel to control the scene immediately!"

Gu Ji darted between two people, his limbs like a monkey as he swiftly climbed onto the factory's iron fence, clamping his feet on the top to stand, pulling out his pistol from his waist, bang bang bang!

Three shots fired.

"Everyone look at me! Look at me! Stop pressing immediately! Stop pressing! Those who fell, don't face upwards, lie down and curl up on the ground, protect your head, all those having difficulty breathing, immediately cross your arms horizontally in front of your chest, listen to me, those who have fallen…"

Compared to the panic caused at the checkpoint on the cruise ship before, Gu Ji now possessed a stronger crisis management capability.

He used the gunshots and standing atop to attract the crowd's attention and vision.

Some who were struggling to breathe and panicked on the ground followed his method, and found it really useful.

Meanwhile.

Luca also quickly arranged security personnel to rush into the crowd, using sticks to drive the pressers from the back and quickly clear the scene.

Standing high up, Gu Ji realized the cause of congestion was a large number of troops, military police, and fire brigade who arrived at the scene but were blocked from entering by civilian vehicles.

He jumped down from the fence, angrily walked to Eugen's side.

"How did I tell you? To clear the accident area within a hundred meters, especially leave enough passages for military police and firefighters to enter, yet you let those vehicles go unchecked?"

"I, I, Sir, there wasn't enough time, I've been trying my best to organize personnel management, but civilians just won't listen…"

Eugen lowered his head with an innocent look.

At this moment, the crowd was ushered into a passage, originally coordinated by the army and government police, cooperating with Luca and others, forcefully recovering from the stampede incident.

Two middle-aged men in black suits and a military officer rushed in.

One wore silver round glasses, had silver parted hair, and asked as soon as he spoke, "Who fired the gun just now?"

"I did."

Gu Ji faced the man without fear, standing directly in front of him.

The man squinted his eyes, glanced at the black cross medal on his collar, "What's your name, which unit are you with?"

"Herman, under Lebudas command headquarters, responsible for investigating the enemy bombing incident at Ludwig Port."

"So you're Herman, was it you who had the sentry sound the alarm too?"

"Yes."

"I am Deputy Mayor Otto, and this is the General Commander of the National Defense Forces troops, Chief Building Inspector, and Labor Inspector."

While Otto was speaking, he happened to see the injured being carried out by logistics medical personnel, shock flashed in his eyes.

"You were in charge of all this?"

"Commander Luca is the overall commander, I am the executor."

Gu Ji hadn't forgotten that Luca was the Captain.

Otto glanced at the lieutenant maintaining personnel order, obviously, unless one was a fool, it was easy to see that the sergeant in front of him was the real commander.

But he didn't delve into it, instead raising his head to look at the descending green gas in the sky, his expression grave.

"Thanks to you and Commander Luca for all you've done, we'll take over now, let the fire brigade go in to save people."

"Wait."

Gu Ji glanced at the firefighters "fully armed" behind the troops, wearing black helmets, uniforms, gas masks, holding water guns, pausing for half a second:

"Where is the chemical defense unit? Didn't I have the sentry notify the chemical observation tower?"

"It's merely a chlorine gas leak, not a gas war, there's no need to dispatch the chemical defense unit, don't worry, the government fire brigade can handle this incident well…"

Without waiting for Otto to finish his sentence.

Gu Ji interrupted:

"Then let me ask a question, does the Labor Inspector know the production scale of the BASF Production Base, I just toured the east zone factory yesterday, if memory serves, near the synthetic rubber factory there is a huge diaphragm controlled chloro-chemical plant, not only storing large amounts of chlorine gas but also hydrogen chloride mist, and sulfuric acid."

"In other words, this isn't just a chlorine gas leak but a mixed gas leak. Furthermore, the main filling material in Hans' M38 gas mask is activated charcoal. If the chlorine gas concentration in the air reaches a ratio of 1/200 per liter, it can last only up to 29 minutes."

"This doesn't even account for the power increase from the mixed gases, knowing that concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen chloride gas have potent chemical corrosiveness, causing suffocation, and additionally burning the skin, as well as mouth, nasal cavity, eye membranes."

"From the production base's east gate to the chloro-chemical plant, provided familiar with the route, it's a 10-minute round trip, meaning the firefighters have 19 minutes to identify the chlorine leak and close it, can they do it?"

Just in a few sentences, not just Otto, but several inspectors were dazed.

Even the fire captain who was ready to rush ahead stood still in place.

Luca pursed his lips trying not to laugh, seemingly having grown accustomed to this kid's scholarly abilities, beginning to build immunity over time.

Only Eugen frowned slightly.

Deputy Mayor Otto didn't know if it was due to Gu Ji's surprising information or the severity of the situation, he was astonished enough to stammer.

"How, how do you know all this so thoroughly?"

"I was born in Ludwig Port and last night, I spent the night reviewing the technical manual of the BASF Production Base!"
