Almost instantly, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared, and the sky and earth seemed to change as a result.
It's like a normally gentle and kind person revealing a terrifying side they've never shown before; the discomfort and the stark contrast are extremely difficult to accept.
The moment the station exploded, Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang jumped off the platform and rushed towards Song Sanchuan. Xie Tianlang grabbed Song Sanchuan, who was falling forward due to the shockwave. Gou Fugui, on the other hand, touched the cart of machinery that Song Sanchuan was pushing with his shoulder, and while everyone was panicking and screaming, he quickly put the equipment into his spatial storage.
At this moment, the three of them were still on the edge of the exit and had not completely exited the station. So, although they felt the air was incredibly hot, making their noses and throats feel like they were being scorched by fire, they were not directly exposed to the sunlight.
Those who didn't have time to find shelter under the eaves and were exposed to direct sunlight almost all suffered sunburn on their faces, hands, and all exposed skin at this time.
It seemed that as long as people rushed into the waiting hall and avoided the direct sunlight, they could escape this sudden disaster. But now, the situation was dire; there was nowhere safe to be found.
The explosion at the station ignited a massive fire, the ferocious flames scorching everything in their path, even the road and walls, with flames clinging to them, like roaring, chasing fire serpents rapidly spreading towards the waiting hall, exit, ticket gates and other nearby buildings.
Ahead, people screaming and crying were right in front of him in the open-air square of the train station and on the asphalt road. Gou Fugui could even see wisps of smoke rising from some places on the empty square, which had no greenery. At this moment, the flat square didn't look like a square at all; it looked like a teppanyaki grill magnified hundreds of times.
Those who live above are nothing but fish and meat to the sun.
But even fish should not give up struggling at this point.
Gou Fugui took a deep breath and slapped his left wrist hard, then leaped out.
His movements were nimble and incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the boy whose shoes were stuck and he was unable to move. He grabbed the boy around the waist, touched the ground with his toes, and then quickly rushed back.
As the child's mother cried and joyfully hugged her child, the long-haired young man rushed out again. This time, his target was the man who was lying face down on the asphalt, screaming wildly from the scalding asphalt.
At this moment, most people were hiding in the shadows. Even those who wanted to save the man dared not go because the path had become completely soft and sticky. So when they saw the young man rush towards the man, the onlookers couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Oh my god, young man, you're too impulsive! Don't go there!"
"Young man, come back quickly! We just came down from that road, and our shoes are all glued to the ground! That man is dying, you can't save him!"
"Don't try to be a hero now! That person is already unconscious, and the ground is too soft for you to lift by yourself. Besides, given his current condition with sunburn all over his body, even if you manage to pull him back, he probably won't survive!"
Gou Fugui knew, of course, that these people were telling the truth and were also reminding him.
But a life was at stake, and we couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Moreover, while saving this person might be difficult for others, it's always worth a try for him.
He treaded lightly on the softened ground. Although the asphalt, melted by the high temperature, seemed like a demon trying to tug at his legs, he miraculously managed to leap and dodge almost every time before the demon could grab him.
Then, he came to the middle-aged man whose consciousness had become hazy due to the high temperature.
A look of shock appeared in the man's eyes, and his lips, which had cracked and dry in a short time, opened and closed as he stammered, "Save...save me..."
"No, don't worry about me... save, save my daughter..."
Gou Fugui couldn't hear what he was saying at all; he had already bent down and was trying to pull the man's body.
But not only were his clothes stuck to the ground by the hot asphalt, but even his skin was stuck. Even if Xie Tianlang came to help, he might not be able to pull him out, let alone him alone.
By this time, he had lingered for quite a while, and he felt his shoes starting to soften.
At this moment, Xie Tianlang, his face dark, was already running towards them. Gou Fugui gritted his teeth and slapped his wrist again. His body swayed violently, then he gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and violently pulled and threw the man lying on the ground away!
Amidst the gasps of the crowd and the man's screams, he was torn from the ground and flew toward Xie Tianlang.
Xie Tianlang stopped in his tracks as he rushed forward, but ultimately caught the battered man.
However, he quickly swung the man backward, and Song Sanchuan, his body tense, caught him. At the same time, a long-haired girl rushed out of the train station waiting hall behind them, her face pale and her eyes red, calling out for her father.
She had just rushed out when she witnessed the entire process of Gou Fugui saving people, but at that moment she had no energy to express her gratitude. She simply rushed towards her father with tears streaming down her face.
Mingming, Mingming, she was just texting her dad that they would be going home together soon, Mingming, she and her dad were about to be reunited.
But now, she feels like it's all a nightmare.
At this moment, Gou Fugui's shoes were stuck to the road. Because he temporarily switched from the Sand Cat bloodline bonus to the Orca bloodline bonus with great strength, due to the reaction force of that slap, he was not only stuck to the road, but his entire shoe was also stuck in it.
At this moment, it felt like a very dense, scorching swamp. Even if he switched back to the Sand Cat bloodline bonus, he couldn't jump out as easily as before.
At most, thanks to the Sand Cat bloodline bonus, his paws, which were in contact with the ground, were not burned, and he could even tolerate the current situation.
Hmm, I suddenly have a craving for a mouse.
Sand Dune Cat Fugui's slightly pointed ears twitched, and he quickly dismissed the strange idea.
Fortunately, Xie Tianlang had already rushed over at this moment. He also seemed to be planning to step on this hot asphalt road. Sand Dune Cat Fugui was about to curse him when he saw him. Sending one wasn't enough, did you want to send a group of people?
Then they saw the person throw the backpack on their back onto the soft, sticky black pavement, then step out and reach out their hand.
Cat Fugui immediately reached out and grabbed his hand.
Then Xie Tianlang pulled her back forcefully, and his beloved fell into his arms. Too lightly.
Xie Tianlang raised an eyebrow. Was this another ability of some Yuanyuan that could transform?
However, he brought the person back very quickly.
At this moment, the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but admire these two outstanding young men.
But at this moment, they didn't have time to offer any praise. They instinctively turned to Xie Tianlang and Gou Fugui and asked:
"The fire at the station behind us is getting bigger and bigger. It's impossible to put out the fire in this weather. There's even a risk of an explosion. What should we do?"
It's probably because Gou Fugui bravely saved the two of them, and Xie Tianlang looks very powerful, that the hundreds of people outside regard them as their backbone.
Fortunately, these two pillars of support did not abandon them. Xie Tianlang glanced at the edge of the train station square and then looked at the subway station entrance under construction and fenced off in the square diagonally in front of him.
"Wrap your heads and faces up, and get to the subway entrance before the fire spreads here!"
Changchun is not a provincial capital and originally did not have a subway system. However, Changchun's economy has been developing rapidly in recent years, its population has been increasing, and traffic pressure has been growing. The government finally decided to build a subway on the three busiest lines to facilitate travel and reduce traffic congestion.
At that time, the subway line had only been dug out about one station ahead of the train station, but for the people at the train station now, simply going underground would greatly increase their chances of survival.
To get into that subway entrance, you have to rush forward at least 500 meters.
What's worse, half of the road is black asphalt.
Everyone huddled together under the eaves of the station exit, which hadn't yet caught fire. They were initially delighted, but then quickly realized the predicament was unavoidable.
"It's such a long way, won't I get sunburned running that way?"
"Whether we get sunburned is a minor issue; the main problem is that half of the road is asphalt! We're not as agile as this long-haired guy. If we run a couple of steps, our shoes will get stuck, and then the soles of our feet will be burned!"
"Yeah, what if I lose my balance again and fall, sticking to the ground? I don't want to get cut up!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the injured middle-aged man, who was being treated urgently by Song Sanchuan, who was taking out medicine powder and bandages from his backpack, but the situation was indeed not optimistic.
The girl next to him gritted her teeth and looked up when she heard the last sentence, glaring fiercely at the person who made the sarcastic remark.
Then the man who made the sarcastic remark clicked his tongue and turned his head to the side.
At this moment, a sweet-looking girl looked at Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang, her voice soft and gentle:
"Excuse me, young man, I noticed you seem to have some special technique when you run; you're very light and don't get stuck to the asphalt. Everyone's in a difficult situation right now, and even if we wanted to do something, we don't have the ability. Could you please run ahead and lead the way for us?"
We will all thank you!
As soon as the sweet girl spoke, everyone around her showed expressions of approval and anticipation, especially the trendy young man next to her who looked very arrogant and noble: "Brother, don't worry, Lanlan and I won't let you do this for nothing. My uncle is the head of the Central Square Shelter! As long as you lead the way and get Lanlan and me safely to the Central Square Underground Shelter, I can arrange a very comfortable place for you to stay."
"This is not a benefit that comes easily."
"Yes, yes, I can even give you some more money for your hard work! Young man, you should go ahead. You were doing a great job saving people, weren't you?"
"Anyway, you're capable, so there won't be any danger if you go. Aren't there some construction bricks over there? You can use those bricks to pave the ground, and then we can go!"
The more people talked about it, the more feasible and reasonable it seemed.
Even as the flames of the impending explosion drew closer and the sun's temperature rose higher, those suffering from extreme heat and growing increasingly agitated began to shout:
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you moving?! Do you want us to be burned to death or sunburned to death here?! We're just asking you to do something within your ability, so many people are waiting, what are you dawdling for?!"
"Wasn't this young man just doing a good deed? Now he seems to be just a hypocritical, superficially kind person, isn't he?"
"Hey, don't say that about him. He might already be preparing, he just needs a little rest. Young man, are you rested enough? Everyone's waiting."
Then, amidst the noisy arguing and even the pushing and shoving, the tall man who was holding the long-haired youth turned around. The coldness and ferocity in his eyes stunned everyone who met his gaze, leaving them speechless.
At this moment, the girl squatting next to her father spoke in a low voice: "If you're in such a hurry, why don't you go by yourselves?"
"Don't you feel shameless for being so generous with other people's money?"
These words were like a slap in the face to many people, and immediately some people began to curse and start targeting the girl.
“Hey, you little girl, you benefited from your dad being saved by him, but you can’t turn around and blame others because of that.”
"That's right, if you're so capable, then wait here and stop taking advantage of others!"
"At a time when someone's life is hanging by a thread, why wouldn't he save them if he could?!"
The long-haired girl gritted her teeth and remained silent, while Gou Fugui, who had been drinking a bottle of chilled honey water with every meal, finally spoke.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Some trolls and wild horses wanted to argue, but the rich young master shut them down with a single sentence.
"Now you're begging me. If anyone says another word, I'll jump over there myself and sit at the entrance eating sunflower seeds while you all get roasted to death."
The long-haired youth's eyes and face were now filled with arrogance and irritability, showing no trace of the fine young man he had just been.
"The temperature is rising too fast, I don't have time to go lay bricks. Take out your suitcases and anything unimportant, I'll pave the road as needed."
"Move forward quickly in the order of first women and girls, then the elderly, and finally the young. Nobody cut in line, or I'll kick you all to the ground!"
"Get ready now, immediately! Give me your things in three minutes, and line up!"
It's strange how people behave. When the other person is in a good mood, they become fierce and push their luck, but when the other person is even fiercer, they become obedient and docile.
Three minutes later, everyone quickly lined up and even dutifully offered up any unwanted luggage they had.
Gou Fugui glanced at Xie Tianlang.
The latter nodded when he made eye contact with him, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled softly.
Then, the hundreds of people who had been anxiously waiting saw the nimble young man put on a particularly nice sun hat, take off his thick-soled shoes to block the heat, and put on only a pair of white cotton socks. Then, he moved his shoulders and neck, and whoosh! He rushed out!
"My God, he runs so fast and so lightly!"
"But he didn't bring any luggage! Why is he using things to pave the way?"
When those words were shouted out, Xie Tianlang, who was standing next to the pile of luggage, sneered, swung his arm, and under Song Sanchuan's admiring yet somewhat frightened gaze, picked up a square suitcase and threw it directly at Gou Fugui!
"Holy crap!!"
Amidst gasps of surprise, they saw the suitcase arc through the air, about to land squarely on the head of the long-haired young man wearing a straw hat.
But the long-haired youth seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He suddenly took a big step forward, grabbed the large suitcase with his backhand, and slammed it flat onto the soft asphalt road.
Holy crap!! That's awesome!!
Then, like a spectacular performance, Xie Tianlang accurately threw suitcases and various backpacks further and further away, and the young man, who was running nimbly under the scorching sun, caught each bag thrown at him with even greater precision.
The moment the young man leaped across the black road and reached the subway entrance, everyone waiting there couldn't help but let out a heartfelt cheer.
The young man proudly raised his chin and gestured to them.
It's like victory is beckoning.
