Everyone Has Arrived, A New Crisis Appears!

The rubber tires on the bicycle had totally sacrificed themselves with honor and glory after crossing the sea of fire twice, but this did not affect Chen Yeliang's speed.

To prevent the fire engine from ramming into his bicycle from behind, Chen Yeliang had to determine in the shortest time possible the most optimal route with the lowest temperature to allow the highest speed.

The two vehicles arrived at the entrance of Warehouse 8 one after the other within five minutes.

At this point, the thick black smoke had already seeped inside the building. Chen Yeliang flung his bicycle aside and ran inside. Wu Zhuo followed closely behind.

"We have to get back to the main gate before the water in the truck evaporates," he said as he ran.

Wu Zhuo was like a loyal follower. "Understood!"

Chen Yeliang ran up to the group of trapped personnel and said anxiously, "Those who can move, help to carry those who can't. Get into the truck immediately and we'll bring you guys out!"

Then, with Chen Yeliang and Wu Zhuo helping to support and carry some of the casualties, the dozen or so people got onto the back of the fire truck within three minutes!

The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. When Chen Yeliang got into the driver's seat, Wu Zhuo was already seated in the front passenger seat.

When he saw his idol starting the fire engine, he gripped his seatbelt and asked excitedly, "Is the live stream still ongoing?"

"Of course." Chen Yeliang answered as he dexterously turned the truck around.

"Then if I follow you into the fire site, wouldn't that make me a hero too?" He looked at the flames in front of him and became talkative. "I've always dreamed of being a hero since I was young, the kind that never looks back at explosions!"

Chen Yeliang smiled confidently and said, "All firefighters are heroes to begin with!"

In the face of such a dangerous fire site, besides himself who could defy death, the only other people who would rush in there were the firefighters.

Doesn't this make them heroes?

Chen Yeliang then stepped up the gear and said more seriously, "There's no one clearing the path now, we're going to make a dash for it!"

"Let's go for it!"

Wu Zhuo gripped the seatbelt tightly with both hands. With Chen Yeliang by his side, he could feel courage surging through him!

Chen Yeliang floored the accelerator!

The fire truck retraced its route and burst through the thick smoke and wall of fire !

Unbearably hot flames surrounded the truck, as if trying to trap them in place. No matter how tightly the vehicle windows were closed, they could not shut out the sizzling sound of the smoke, which was emitted by the liquid rapidly evaporating under the high temperature.

Wu Zhuo closed his eyes in trepidation and re-opened them again. He was both shocked and afraid as he stared ahead with wide open eyes.

He would know in the next second, whether he would meet the God of Death or see Chief's familiar face!

Each and every passing minute and second felt like a very long half-century to the people on the truck.

At last! The fire engine broke free of the blaze and returned to the main gate with its whole body steaming!

"I knew it, Chen Yeliang really lives up to his own reputation!"

"Is he even human? He's simply divine!"

"How did he do it? To be able to cross the sea of fire… Is he really not a professional stuntman?"

The live streaming comments were all cheering for Chen Yeliang!

The way the viewers expressed their excitement was to either flood the comments screen with comments or send gifts like crazy. So many yachts were sent!

Chen Yeliang hopped off the truck and pointed to the back of the truck. "There are 13 trapped personnel here and 5 of them are injured. They need to be sent to the hospital immediately."

There was no need for Lu Ruijin to give any further instructions. The firefighters rushed forward and carried or supported the injured people off the truck.

Chen Yeliang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the trapped personnel had been properly taken care of. Then, the system's voice rang out in his ears.

[Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission and successfully rescuing the workers trapped in the chemical plant.]

[Obtained system reward: 1. Date of death delayed by one week.]

[I hope the host will work harder and wish the host a long life!]

At that moment, the double sirens of an ambulance and a fire engine could be heard in the distance. Above them, a helicopter with the logo of the Xilin City TV station circled the fire site.

Xilin City Television Station's ace reporter Ni Yu was half hanging outside the cabin, holding a microphone and doing live reporting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now reporting live from the Hanghe industrial district, just above the chemical plant where the fire disaster is located!"

"As you can see from the live footage, two-thirds of the chemical plant has turned into a sea of fire!"

"Currently, the firefighters have already arrived at the scene. Regarding the number of casualties, we will confirm with the relevant personnel as soon as possible!"

With that, she lowered the roll-up ladder and descended, landing together with the cameraman near the fire site.

Ni Yu couldn't bring herself to disrupt the firefighters who were busy moving the injured out of the compound, so she aimed the microphone at the other uniformed personnel, which was Officer Zhao.

When Ni Yu saw Officer Zhao's face, she was caught by surprise. She thought he looked very familiar, as if she had seen his face somewhere before.

Her professional training as a reporter rapidly connected the dots — he was the officer who handled the case of the parkour murder attempt!

Contestant Number 18 had survived a malicious attempt on his life during the competition. This news had caused quite a stir in the afternoon, but by night time, it was overshadowed by the chemical plant explosion.

Hence, she didn't have the time to follow up on the earlier incident. She didn't expect to meet the police officer who was handling that incident here.

"Hello Officer, I'm a reporter from Xilin TV Station! May I know who you are…"

Without waiting for her to finish, Officer Zhao interrupted her with a raised hand.

"I'm too busy. The hero is standing there. Go interview him."

As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Yeliang and offloaded Ni Yu to him.

"Hello Hero, I'm a reporter from Xilin TV Station. This rescue mission… You're not a firefighter, right?" Ni Yu asked with a puzzled look.

The other firefighters thought to themselves what a stupid question this was!

Chen Yeliang was dressed in ordinary sports attire, so it was blatantly obvious that he was a student.

Furthermore, if Ni Yu had looked closely, she would have realized that he was the main character of the parkour incident. Although his face was blackened from the smoke, his dashing looks were still clearly evident.

Ni Yu took a closer look. Then her reporters' radar detected something incredible!

She became even more excited and held the microphone even closer to him. "Hero, you…"

"If there's any problem, we can talk about it after the fire has been put out." Chen Yeliang interrupted.

Ni Yu was stunned. Chen Yeliang was clearly not a firefighter, yet after successfully rescuing people and becoming a hero, he still intended to carry out more high-risk tasks!

As she stood there lost in thought, the backup fire engines and ambulances arrived at the main gate of the chemical plant.

Lu Ruijin was overjoyed. He was about to go up and deploy the staff when he saw a tall and muscular figure getting off the truck.

"May… Mayor?"

The explosion of Hanghe chemical plant did not just affect the factories along the Hanghe River.

If the toxic waste leaked into the water, it would have serious repercussions for the residents on the other side of the river. Half of Xilin City would be paralyzed!

The extremely urgent situation alarmed the political upper echelons. Not only was the commander-in-chief of the fire brigade present, the Mayor was also present, not to mention the company directors of the plant.

There was a crowd, and there was also a very inconspicuous middle-aged man. He was wearing a white coat and had a hunched back. His hands seemed to be in his pockets as he got out of the car with the company director.

People from all walks of life did not even have the chance to make small talk with the man in white. He headed straight for Lu Ruijin.

"Is something the matter?" Lu Ruijin asked irritably when yet another face showed up to disrupt his work.

The man in white adjusted his glasses and said, "I'm the engineer of this chemical plant. I came here just to tell you one thing."

"The fire must not reach the natural gas zone behind Warehouse 8!"
