Behind the camera, Ni Yu’s eyes were slightly red. She pursed her thin lips and looked at the back profiles of the heroes.

She steadied her voice and said calmly, “As a news worker, it is my duty to convey factual and effective information. It is not my intention to spread panic.”

“Lwould like to urge everyone not to be discouraged. I believe that our heroes will return victorious!”

She did not explain the details of turning off the valve, because there was no longer any necessity. The words “enter the blaze” were already sufficient to explain the danger that the renegades would face.

The viewers had indeed understood!

At this moment, be it in front of the television or in the live stream channel, everyone was stunned.

Even though they were separated by the screen, the viewers could feel the burning sensation of the raging flames. The blaze was like the legendary Fire Behemoth, Surtr in Norse mythology. The leaping flames were his way of mocking the human beings, as he looked down scornfully at their

insignificance.

As for Chen Yeliang and his companion, they were the existence who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods!

Although the viewers in Chen Yeliang’s live streaming channel had already heard his plan clearly, when they saw it put into action with their own eyes, they couldn’t help but gasp.

“Brother Liang is really tired of living!” A viewer posted a comment.

Immediately after this, the comments on the live stream channel exploded into huge chunks of texts.

“The chemical plant is now a burning furnace. The air in the sky has become denser after being heated up, but the fire is unstable. When it comes into contact with the cold air, the airflow will become very turbulent.”

“We read the overseas news. We know that helicopters can’t fly too low when they’re trying to fight the wildfires in mountainous regions, because if they are not careful, they will be blown away by the turbulent airflow.”

“But if Brother Liang wants to descend to the inner part, the helicopter can’t stop too high up. Even a pilot with 10 years experience might not dare to accept this mission. Is their assigned pilot reliable?”

After seeing various live stream viewers’ reminders, the other viewers also started to worry.

“F*ck, forget about landing. We should be thankful if we can reach the safe zone.”

“This is a gamble on the pilot’s skills or Brother Liang and his compatriot’s lives!”

At this moment, Chen Yeliang and Lu Ruijin had already finished their preparations and were about to take off.

After Ni Yu finished reporting this earth-shattering piece of news, the camera perspective had been silently focused on Chen Yeliang and the others, wordlessly sending them off.

Lu Ruijin grabbed the handrail and put one foot onboard. He opened his mouth wide and took in two deep breaths.

Although he had been full of hot-blooded ardor earlier when he agreed to the chief commander’s request, now that he was really in the thick of things, he couldn’t help feeling nervous. His tightly knitted brows simply could not relax.

Chen Yeliang thought that he was having difficulties getting up and lent him a helping hand.

“It’s okay.” Lu Ruijin pushed him away. “I can get up.”

He pulled with both arms and legs at the same time and propelled himself inside, then turned around to help Chen Yeliang.

Chen Yeliang thanked him and got into the cabin effortlessly.

Lu Ruijin looked at his calm expression and suddenly laughed. “Chen Yeliang, sometimes I really suspect that your heart is made of steel. You don’t seem to know fear?”

Chen Yeliang calmly adjusted his fireproof suit and put on the humongous mask over his face. He looked at the fire in the distance with a placid smile.

“If I’m scared, who will go in and turn off the valve?”

Lu Ruijin was startled by his answer. He shook his head in self-mockery, laughing at himself for being inferior to a student.

It was a simple statement, but it made him feel much better. Lu Ruijin wiped the perspiration off his palms against his pants and nodded at the pilot.

Such a light airy statement, floating like a feather brushing past, but it hit the viewers’ sensibilities like a crushing blow!

They watched as the helicopter’s rotors gradually sped up on the screen. The surrounding grass was completely flattened by the resulting downforce. The swirling airflow also caused the camera-equipped drone to sway unsteadily and hover further away.

“Boohoohoohoo, my Brother Liang is carrying everything on his shoulders.”

“Tm just a neutral party, but why is this live-streamer going to such extremes to risk his life and limb?”

“Maybe Chen Yeliang felt that it was his fault that the two criminals blew up the chemical plant.”

“He drove the Ferrari and single-handedly chased down the criminals, and even helped the police find the hidden gun cache. He has already done so much. Brother Liang is not the type to blame himself. There’s no need to blame yourself!”

“He’s betting his life on the safety of the entire Xilin city!”

“T’ve been following the live stream ever since Chen Yeliang fell off the building. I still can’t understand what kind of character he is.”

“Too mysterious, too attractive!”

In front of the screen, the live stream viewers were already tearing up.

‘The helicopter slowly ascended into the sky. Everyone in the temporary safe zone looked up into the sky at the same time, their eyes glued to the helicopter full of hope.

The chief commander, who had never believed in the supernatural and only believed in hard work, also felt tears well up in his eyes. At this moment, he was praying to all the Deities, Buddha and the Heavens, in his heart. He only wished that the two of them could return safely.

He gritted his teeth and said to the city mayor, “After this incident, we must thoroughly investigate the safety lapses of the chemical plant’s operations! Otherwise, our brave fighters have to risk their lives every time something happens?!”

‘The mayor nodded in agreement. He glanced at the director of the chemical plant beside him. The director smiled apologetically at them. His legs were trembling and he was so scared that he was about to curl into a ball.

“Now that an accident has occurred, you are scared of the consequences!” the mayor said angrily. Then, he switched his gaze to the gradually diminishing helicopter.

At this moment, the helicopter was already flying above the chemical plant, passing over the fire site with its numerous small explosions.

Through the window, Chen Yeliang could see that Warehouse 8 was already burning up, as well as the four-storey building behind that the engineer had mentioned.

He looked at the hellish scene below. Even though the helicopter had flown high enough, he could still feel the heat waves emanating from below.

Chen Yeliang’s eyes were as serene as a deep pool, but in his heart emotions were surging like waves.

Although his words sounded steadfast and dependable, when Chen Yeliang saw the actual situation with his own eyes, he couldn’t help feeling jittery.

This time round, the mission to tum off the valve was not part of the system’s mission. If it was like in the past, Chen Yeliang could simply leave the dangerous zone with the rest of the team after receiving his reward. He would have gone back to enjoy his happy life.

It was not because he did not fear death. In fact, with such a good physique, he could live until the end of time if he successfully completed his missions every day. Mankind’s dream of everlasting life might very well happen to him.

However, Chen Yeliang could not bear seeing people abandoning their homes and leaving their hometowns.

He saw those people with teary eyes and the firefighters working so hard to ensure the crowd’s safety. The firefighters still rushed here from all over Xilin City even though they knew that they might lose their lives here.

Chen Yeliang suddenly understood the true purpose of the immortal body!

He took a deep breath and said in a voice that only he could hear, “If I get scared, there are groups of firefighters standing before me, guiding me to a safe place.”

“But they have families too… If you guys were to sacrifice yourselves, your family would be so sad… It’s not possible for me to die, so there is no doubt that I am the one to carry the burden for you guys!”
