No matter how Bian Zhao used the hovercraft before, it is always a good thing that he can use it to rescue the wounded and resolve crises.
However, when Jiang Ran was feeling relieved, a strange thing happened——
Shortly after Bian Zhao sped off in the hovercar, a panting contestant came running up behind Jiang Ran. His face was grim and red, his eyes narrowed with sweat, but he stared off in the direction the hovercar had left.
"Bian Zhao! Stop right there!"
"I rented the hovercar for this time period! It's mine!"
"You can't take my hovercar!"
“…”
turn out to be……
Bian Zhao has not yet cleared up the leasing relationship.
Come to think of it, the rental price of 2,000 points per hour seems expensive at ordinary times, but now it has become a necessary investment to save lives. No tenant is willing to give it up.
Bian Zhao was able to get the hovercraft back at this time, and he definitely didn't use any soft means.
The tenant who was evaded by the bill was obviously unwilling to do so either.
He was clearly exhausted, panting, but the voice he called out Bian Zhao's name was particularly powerful and loud...
It was as if he was afraid that Bian Zhao wouldn't be able to hear clearly because he was in the hovercraft.
When angry, human potential is unlimited.
The poor tenant was obviously extremely tired, but he quickly passed Jiang Ran and his group and continued to chase them.
Ren Xiayang shook his smelly sleeves.
He asked in confusion, "Didn't Bian Zhao go to the main island of New Guinea? What's the point of him running to the mountains? Shouldn't he go across the sea to chase them?"
Jiang Ran sighed slowly: "Isn't that just suicide?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a small crack appeared in the ground beside him.
After a few seconds, the crack widened a little more and became as long as a person's arm.
Everyone's attention was diverted almost instantly.
They stared closely at the crack, fearing that it would continue to grow and split the entire island.
Fortunately, the crack stopped growing in time.
"call--"
"I was so scared..."
“…”
Jiang Ran waved his hand: "Don't think too much, escape is the most important thing."
The others immediately nodded in disappointment and continued running up the mountain with Jiang Ran.
Amidst the continuous tremors, Jiang Ran and his group finally reached the top of the mountain, which is the highest point of the island.
The joy of approaching the finish line made people relax their vigilance, and Fu Bo accidentally tripped over the fallen gravel.
Xu Yang was one of the first people to reach the top of the mountain. He saw everyone from afar and immediately trotted over.
While Jiang Ran helped Fu Bo up, he observed the scenery on the top of the mountain from afar.
There weren't many trees on the top of the mountain, so it looked very empty, and even the people standing there were sparsely spaced.
Fu Bo leaned on one leg and tried hard to stand steady.
His attitude was very positive. "Have all the others been taken away by Bian Zhao? I heard they were taken to the main island of New Guinea?"
Xu Yang's expression was originally calm, but when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.
However, Fu Bo was unaware of anything.
He was still fantasizing: "When can you take us away too?"
When Xu Yang heard this, he covered his face and stopped talking.
Jiang Ran finally couldn't stand it anymore. She pulled Fu Bo behind her and made a gesture to him to shut up.
Then Jiang Ran turned to look at Xu Yang: "How many people haven't arrived yet... or even heard from them yet?"
Xu Yang's face was heavy: "The vast majority."
Fu Bo: "How could it be..."
Xu Yang: "After all, there is only one hover car."
Fu Bo: "But there are submarines! Can't we use submarines to take people away?"
Jiang Ran patted his shoulder: "Have you forgotten that there will be a tsunami after the earthquake?"
Fu Bo shut his mouth.
Jiang Ran: "You're so brave to rush towards the source of danger with such single-minded determination."
As she spoke, she gave a thumbs up.
Fu Bo: “…”
Most people haven't reached the highest point of the island yet.
Although everyone was contacted when the danger was notified, according to Xu Yang, many people suddenly became unreachable during this earthquake.
Of the many contestants who had disappeared without a trace, most still had their locations visible, simply because the real-time video transmission from the security contact had malfunctioned. However, for a few contestants... even their locations were temporarily unavailable.
At this moment, the contestants whose locations have disappeared are of course the most dangerous. However, the program team is unable to contact them, and even the rescue work can only start with the contestants whose locations are still there.
Before the show began, no one could have anticipated major disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis, and the number of lifeguards was limited. At this point, it was more about helping each other.
Although Fu Bo had no idea of the situation at first, he was very dedicated in helping with the rescue and was often at the forefront.
Ren Xiayang would often follow him and shout, "You're running too far!"
Others chasing after him: "..."
On the other side, Jiang Ran and Zeng Pei worked together to move the thick tree trunk away from the legs of a wounded man.
The wounded felt like they were reborn. They shed tears due to the pain and kept expressing their gratitude.
After completing the rescue, Jiang Ran and Zeng Pei needed to take the injured to a safe area.
Zeng Pei was very heroic. He squatted down and was about to carry the wounded man on his back.
The wounded man waved his hands in fear to express his refusal.
Zeng Pei patted himself on the back: "Don't dawdle, don't waste time."
The wounded man became even more terrified. He stood up on the gravel ground and tried to demonstrate his other intact leg: "No need to carry me. I can jump up on one foot."
As he spoke, he hopped on one foot, trying to prove his ability to walk independently.
Jiang Ran looked at this scene and recalled the first time he met Zeng Pei.
At that time in the Amazon rainforest, Zeng Pei's leg was bitten by a crocodile. Ren Xiayang wanted to carry her back to the camp, but Zeng Pei was reluctant and wanted to jump back on one foot by herself.
It's really a cycle of cause and effect, old things are repeating themselves.
But Zeng Pei obviously didn't think so.
She grabbed the injured man's sleeve and said, "Do you think this is flat ground? Hopping on one foot... The tsunami is coming soon. I will carry you up or be drowned by the tsunami. You have to choose."
When the injured heard this, he became nervous and frightened: "Then...then could you be a little gentler?"
Zeng Pei: “…”
So he thought her hand was too heavy?
Jiang Ran said, "Then let me carry you."
The wounded man looked left and right, then sighed sadly, "That...that doesn't make any difference..."
Jiang Ran: “…”
Jiang Ran and Zeng Pei certainly did not spoil him.
The two worked together and cooperated with each other to throw the injured man directly onto Zeng Pei's back.
“Ah, ah, it hurts…”
Jiang Ran slapped him on the back: "You are holding back the pain, don't you see what time it is now?"
Zeng Pei shook himself for a moment, then carried the man on his back. "Don't worry, I work on mechas, and I got full marks in the human anatomy course. I'm just carrying you up the mountain, and I won't hurt you at all."
Jiang Ran lagged behind half a step, following behind to help them block the fallen rocks and branches along the way, and protected them as they walked up the mountain.
Hearing Zeng Pei's assurance to the wounded, Jiang Ran subconsciously looked up. As soon as he raised his eyelids, he saw Zeng Pei's right shoulder lean down, just avoiding the fallen tree trunk on the right, and almost causing the wounded to fall to the ground.
Of course, he was still a little short of actually falling. But within two seconds, Zeng Pei shook the man again and got him back on his back.
Jiang Ran witnessed the scene and said nothing.
Although she did not see the wounded man's full expression from the front, she saw his grinning mouth with bared teeth from the side, as well as the hint of pain that emanated from it.
Perhaps... the injured man's previous considerations were not unreasonable.
The rescue work started from the nearest place, and the injured person was originally located not far from the top of the island.
Not long after, Jiang Ran and Zeng Pei rushed to the top of the mountain carrying the wounded.
By this time, the earthquakes that had lasted for a long time on the island gradually subsided.
After the two of them worked together to put the wounded down, Zeng Pei first twisted his arm to loosen his muscles.
After a long period of shaking, I finally stood firm, and an indescribable sense of security arose in my heart.
Zeng Pei asked, "Didn't you say that offshore earthquakes are very dangerous and will trigger a tsunami in a few minutes?"
Jiang Ran patted the injured man's shoulder, calmed him down, and asked Zeng Pei, "Are you eager to see the tsunami?"
Zeng Pei was about to speak when Fu Bo's voice came from afar.
"Come and help! There are several injured people! We can't move them!"
When Zeng Pei heard this, he rushed over without hesitation.
As Jiang Ran caught up, he subconsciously glanced back and saw the wounded man they had rescued earlier... with a gloating smile on his face.
As soon as he saw Jiang Ran's gaze, he immediately put away his expression, just raised his thumb, and looked firm, as if he was cheering for the two of them.
Jiang Ran: “…”
They carry people on their backs to save them…does it really hurt the injured that much?
This question was quickly answered.
After Jiang Ran carried the dying wounded man on his back, the man who was originally unable to breathe... suddenly screamed.
Jiang Ran: “…”
Jiang Ran and Zeng Pei fell silent when faced with this scene.
In the end, they chose to accept reality and only helped from behind, while the actual moving work was left to Fu Bo and others.
Glancing to the left, I saw Fu Bo's face filled with depression and confusion.
Looking forward, I saw the expression of the injured soldier who was disappointed in his future.
Jiang Ran and Zeng Pei: "..."
However, before he could say anything, a loud noise came from the distance.
Everyone looked over at once, and the next second, all movements stopped in shock—
The tsunami is coming.
The island they were on was already quite large, almost the second largest in Papua New Guinea, with a height of several hundred meters. Staying on the top of the island, it should not be difficult to survive the tsunami.
However, at this moment, the huge waves that swept towards them also seemed to have changed, rushing up to almost a hundred meters high. Although the waves were still some distance away from everyone, from a distance, the height of the crest of the waves was already half the height of the island.
"I finally understand why this tsunami came so late..."
Zeng Pei sighed and said, "So he's accumulating strength..."
The few dozen wounded on the mountaintop reacted the fastest. They huddled together, trembling, and huddled together for warmth.
The wounded man Jiang Ran and Zeng Pei had rescued earlier... was even more unique. The moment he saw the waves, he tightly shut his eyes, as if the disaster didn't exist because he couldn't see it.
Fu Bo's shoulders began to tremble.
Ren Xiayang's pupils continued to dilate.
Just when everyone was stiff and motionless, Jiang Ran took off the racket ball, took out the bracket from the bag and started to fix it.
Xu Yang was silent for a moment: "What are you doing?"
"Get ready." Jiang Ran said matter-of-factly, without even turning his head. "The tsunami is coming, shouldn't I start preparing for the shoot?"
"What about us?"
"Everyone, get your life bags ready."
“…”
The author has something to say:
【Small Theater】
Fu Bo: Are we just letting ourselves fend for ourselves?
Jiang Ran: You didn’t pay me, do you want me to pay for your life?
