Chapter 337: You Live as Long as I Am
The rain suddenly stopped and the wind direction suddenly changed.
The escape officially begins.
Everyone exceeded their endurance and ran and galloped all night long.
Everyone was surrounded by dense swarms of wild animals.
By dawn, everyone had been running for twenty-four hours straight.
However, the sound of flames was getting closer and closer, the sky behind them turned gray, countless thick smoke swept in, and the speed of the crowd gradually slowed down.
Everyone slowed down, and in the end it was difficult to even walk.
Si Ran's lips were chapped, and his eyes were red and yellow from being smoked. His black pupils seemed to have turned into a piece of broken glass.
Si Ran looked up at the sky which was about to see the sun rise, and pursed her lips.
There was no mistake. In another hour it would rain heavily and the wind direction would change completely. Only when the wind reversed again would they have a chance to go down the mountain.
"The fire is coming!"
I don’t know who shouted, and Si Ran couldn’t tell for a moment whether it was an animal or his teammates who were talking.
But when they heard the sound, everyone couldn't help but look back.
Just one look makes one's scalp tingle.
The fire that was invisible before suddenly became very close!
"Wow, I don't want to die!"
"If I had known I wouldn't have participated in this crappy variety show!"
“…”
Everyone stood there in a daze, as if all their strength had been drained away.
Si Ran's feet seemed to be locked with chains, and everything in front of him was dark.
She opened her mouth, and her heart suddenly felt sour.
No matter how hard I try, can I not change the outcome of the wildfire in this life?
Rumble——
As everyone was in despair, a huge propeller sound suddenly came from above their heads.
When everyone looked up, they saw a red military plane flying over their heads, and then the plane dropped countless water on the flames that were about to sweep towards them.
Then the second one, the third one...
The sound of the flames going out was like a heavy punch hitting everyone.
Si Ran looked at the red light shining above her head and the national flag logo of the rescue plane, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "They are our people!"
Not only that, in addition to these military aircraft, there are also many profitable rescue aircraft.
Si Ran thought of Pei Yu in an instant.
Apart from Pei Yu, who has the money, Si Ran couldn't think of anyone else who could quickly find hundreds of rescue planes.
Si Ran said to the crowd in a voice damaged by the thick smoke, "Someone is helping us buy time. It's the last hour. As long as we hold on for another hour, we can survive!"
The celebrity guest who had been saying discouraging things stopped talking now and continued to follow Si Ran, dragging his almost broken legs.
For an hour, the planes overhead did not stop at all, constantly fetching water to buy them time.
It was eight o'clock in the morning local time and the sky was bright.
Their path was blocked by a higher mountain.
The flames behind them progressed slowly, but for a moment, everyone had no way to go.
"It's over. I'm really going to die this time." The celebrity guest who had been complaining all the time no longer had the energy to complain, nor did he blame anyone. He collapsed to the ground and said, "I really can't run anymore."
Unexpectedly, Si Ran was not at all panicked. He glanced at the celebrity guest and asked, "What time is it now?"
The celebrity guest was stunned. He couldn't lift his hands anymore. But when Si Ran asked, he subconsciously raised his hands to check his watch and said, "Seven, seven fifty-nine."
The next second, a strong wind blew, and the sun, which was about to break through the clouds, was instantly covered by dark clouds.
Thunder rumbled in the empty sky.
Bang!
A golden light mixed with purple lightning flashed by.
The next second, heavy rain came pouring down.
Everyone subconsciously looked back, only to see that the flames that were once so arrogant suddenly died down, stagnated, and finally turned into a small flame.
Only Si Ran, after seeing the golden light, suddenly raised his head and looked at the mountain in front of him.
On the top of the mountain, a girl in a yellow Taoist robe looked down at him and then smiled at him.
At the same time, a mechanical electronic sound came from Si Ran's ears.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced mission. You will be rewarded with Newcastle disease vaccine.]
[Host, please keep up the good work~]
Not sure if he heard it wrong, but Si Ran suddenly felt that the system's voice was tinged with a hint of joy.
——
The rain was so heavy that the flames were all out in less than an hour.
Si Ran met the rescue team on the way down the mountain with everyone and the burned animals.
The celebrity guest was like seeing a savior. He spotted the rescue team from a distance and shouted, "See! I told you our country's rescuers won't give up on us!"
After saying that, he began to wave his hands vigorously.
It was not until they got closer that the celebrity guests realized that not a single one of them was white!
Especially the man in the front, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, came up wearing a black suit and leather shoes.
The man passed by him and ran in front of Si Ran like the wind.
The celebrity guest turned around in confusion and saw the extremely handsome man looking at Si Ran carefully, and then tears welled up in the man's eyes.
The next second, the man seemed to make a mooing sound and burst into tears with his mouth open.
Celebrity guest: “…”
Everyone: “…”
There's no way around it, this man looks just like a celebrity, so handsome and cool, but who would have thought that his style would reverse in the next second, from a domineering president to a cool president.
While hugging Si Ran, she cried and said, "Ran Ran, you scared me to death. Fortunately, you are okay. If you were okay, I would not live either!"
Everyone: “…”
Si Ran and the Ye Bao team had long known how abstract Pei Yu was in private, so they were not shocked at all when they saw him crying while holding Si Ran. They even thought that this was normal.
Si Ran coaxed her for a long time.
Si Ran had very little strength left. He had to run non-stop for 24 hours. Only people who could do that could survive in wars of the last century.
Si Ran looked tired: "Let's go down the mountain first."
Pei Yu finally reacted and nodded quickly: "I'll carry you down the mountain."
Si Ran glanced at Pei Yu's leather shoes and said, "I'll just walk by myself."
——
The speed of going down the mountain was obviously much faster.
All the injured animals were handed over to local rescue agencies, and the other members of the program crew were all sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
Si Ran was diagnosed with multiple falls and severe muscle strains at the hospital, but these injuries did not show up on the first day. She fell into a deep sleep right after finishing the examination at the hospital.
It wasn't until the next day that she realized her legs were like being pressed down by a thousand-pound stone, unable to move at all.
When Pei Yu came over, he saw Si Ran trying to get out of bed secretly.
"Ranran, why did you get out of bed? The doctor said you have to stay in bed for the next seven days!"
When Si Ran saw Pei Yu coming in, her face suddenly turned red, but she also felt a little anxious.
Pei Yu was quite discerning in some aspects, so he pressed on, "Ranran, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever? I'll go find a doctor right away!"
"etc!"
Si Ran hurriedly called out to Pei Yu.
Pei Yu turned his head in confusion. He felt that Si Ran was a little strange today.
Si Ran bit her lip and finally spoke: "I want to go to the bathroom."
I was already dehydrated when I was on the mountain. Let alone going to the toilet, I couldn't even urinate the whole way. But now that I'm safe, shouldn't the three urgent needs come?
Pei Yu finally reacted and said quickly, "I thought it was something serious. Ranran, isn't it just going to the toilet? Brother will carry you there."
Pei Yu felt a little perverted after saying this, and quickly explained: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not peek."
After saying this, Pei Yu felt like a complete pervert.
Both parties were silent for three seconds. Finally, Si Ran suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Then I'll trouble you, brother."
Pei Yu felt the slightly soft and gentle hands around his neck, and the elegant jasmine fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, not going away for a long time.
Pei Yu's mind instantly became as smooth as a koala's. He didn't even know how he carried Si Ran into the toilet, and then how he stood at the toilet door like a Terracotta Warrior.
I don’t know how long it took, but Si Ran’s voice came from the bathroom again.
"Brother Yu, come in."
Pei Yu carried Si Ran out again, but this time the awkwardness disappeared. Pei Yu glanced at Si Ran and said, "Besides the discomfort in your legs, is there anything else that's uncomfortable?"
Si Ran shook his head.
In fact, when she was going down the mountain, she felt dizzy and her body was burning hot, which was a prelude to a fever.
But Wen Li was there when they went down the mountain. She gave everyone a magic bag. When she arrived at the hospital, all her physical discomfort had basically disappeared, leaving only the pain in her legs.
Si Ran knew Wen Li's abilities, but she never expected that a magic bag could be so magical that it could actually make illness disappear.
"Brother Yu, was it you who called the helicopter yesterday?"
Pei Yu nodded.
"Speaking of this makes me angry," Pei Yu said. "I heard there was a fire on the mountain, so I quickly contacted the local rescue team to put it out. But after their plane made a quick inspection, they realized the rescue was too difficult and actually withdrew!"
"I knew these people were unreliable, so I quickly contacted Director Meng. I told him about the situation here, but I was still unsure. I quickly mobilized all the connections of the Pei family. I managed to gather all the planes from rescue companies in Country A and nearby countries, and finally gathered a hundred planes."
"Fortunately, we arrived in time."
Upon hearing this, Si Ran nodded and said, "You indeed came at the right time. If you hadn't come, Brother Yu, we probably wouldn't have been able to survive."
"Don't worry, you will live as long as I am alive." Pei Yu spoke without thinking.
Si Ran lowered his eyes: "Why are you so nice to me?"
Pei Yu's face was stiff, and he pursed his lips for a moment, not knowing how to start.
At this moment, he was still like a coward and didn't dare to say anything.
"I..." Pei Yu hesitated, a hint of panic flashing across his drooping brows.
"Brother Yu, my sister-in-law has already made my godfather, godmother, and eldest brother worried because of me. If anything happens to you because of me again, I..."
Si Ran suddenly couldn't continue speaking.
Pei Yu always appears at the critical moment, which not only wastes time and energy, but also costs a lot of money.
This time I even went up the mountain without any preparation and just wore a pair of leather shoes.
If something unexpected happened during this period, Si Ran didn't dare to think about how the Pei family would look at her and how she would cope with it in the future.
Si Ran lowered his eyebrows, which happened to align with Pei Yu's wandering gaze.
"Brother Yu, don't do such dangerous things for me in the future. I'm not worth it."
