The forest park is more than 100 kilometers away from the city. They had lent all their cars to the park, so what they called an evacuation was just a group of people carrying luggage standing on the curb.
The guests hadn't even had time to change their clothes; they were wearing pajamas with down jackets over them.
The temperature difference between day and night was extreme at night, and the guests were shivering from the cold.
Seeing that a mountain had been burned down in such a short time, Wen Li couldn't help but ask, "Are there still many wild animals on the mountain?"
Su Heng was the most educated among them. After retiring from sports, he was admitted to a prestigious 985 university as a doctoral student in media. Hearing Wen Li's words, he also showed a worried look in his eyes.
“The policies abroad are different from ours. They charge for rescues, and with such a large fire, even if it is eventually extinguished, many animals will definitely be burned to death before they can escape.”
The wildfire in country A burned for more than 200 days, and neither human nor technological methods could stop it. Finally, a heavy rain ended this wildfire that was almost a farce.
Compared to wildfires in China in previous years, the military and civilians worked together to extinguish a nearly devastating wildfire in just a few days.
But since we're abroad now, it's still a question whether this fire can be extinguished.
After hearing the data Su Heng presented, everyone fell into a silence.
The guests stood in the cold wind for more than six hours as they watched the wildfire grow larger and larger.
Meanwhile, in the live stream room—
"My God, what a huge wildfire! It's winter now, how could there be a fire in the forest?"
"Fun fact: Country Y is different from China. It's mostly summer and mostly winter. This forest park is dry except for the high-altitude areas where there is snow, making it very easy for fires to start."
"It's been six or seven hours, why hasn't the fire been extinguished yet?"
"The system abroad is different from ours. I heard that fire fighting is charged, but I don't know the specifics. However, they rely too much on high technology. My brother works in the rescue team. He said that the wildfire was relatively small at the beginning, and if manpower had been deployed, there would have been an 80% chance of extinguishing it."
"To put it bluntly, nobody wants to go up the mountain and risk their life."
"Suddenly I feel so lucky to have been born in China. At least in the face of disaster, whether good or bad, we are united in our efforts to fight it together."
"There are so many small animals on the mountain, I don't know if I can escape."
...
Not only in China, but websites all over the world are discussing this wildfire.
However, everyone present watched helplessly as the wildfire grew larger and larger, with thick smoke billowing all around, and they could even faintly hear the cries of many animals.
In the distance, a black minivan was parked in the parking lot.
Immediately afterwards, the car door was flung open, and a man who looked like a bodyguard got out of the car, then got out and opened the back door, all in a very respectful manner.
Wen Li noticed the black car the moment it arrived.
All of the production crew's vehicles have been borrowed, and now they can only stay in a relatively safe place.
Cars are leaving, but no cars are coming out yet.
Especially since the family also owns a black car, which is quite valuable.
Wen Li narrowed her eyes and soon saw a middle-aged white man around fifty years old get out of the car. He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Wen Li.
Wenli:? ? ?
Soon, a group of people walked up to Wen Li, shook hands, and offered their condolences.
He rattled off a whole bunch of nonsense, but Wen Li didn't understand a single word.
Su Heng seemed to recognize him and told her that the middle-aged man in front of her was named Corey and was the leader of Panga City.
Wen Li looked at Corey. The man had a straight nose and deep eyes, but his amber-brown eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
At this point, Corey's assistant communicated with the production team to turn off the live broadcast camera.
The live stream was suddenly cut off, leaving Chinese viewers completely bewildered.
"Why did they suddenly cut the camera?"
"Who was that man just now? He seemed to have a very good presence."
"This person is quite influential in country Y. It must be because of the huge influence of the live stream. After all, the wildfires abroad have become a trending topic on Weibo in China. They must have been asked to stop the live stream."
"Then why were they so respectful to Wen Li?"
"Because the Wen family is rich?"
On the other side—
After the live stream ended, Wen Li was inexplicably taken to Corey's car.
Corey said in broken Chinese, "Ms. Wen, I know your identity in China, and I also saw your fortune-telling live stream, so I hope you can lend a helping hand and save us."
Wen Li narrowed her eyes: "What is my status in China?"
Corey was taken aback, realizing that Wen Li wasn't as easily fooled as her appearance suggested.
In a few breaths, Corey's attitude became more sincere than before. He took out a document from the car, and Wen Li saw that it was written in Chinese, and her eyes became even more puzzled.
Corey explained, "Actually, every country has talented people, but it seems that only your China has been able to truly pass on these skills. At least our country can't do that."
"After the fire got out of control, I contacted your country's relevant departments, hoping that you could help us fight the fire. They verbally agreed, but with an additional condition."
Wen Li already had a guess in her mind, but she still pretended not to know and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Corey sighed: "Your superiors said that you need to give your consent and they won't interfere with your decision, but I still hope that you can help us out of consideration for the wild animals."
"and……"
Corey paused, his tone becoming much more serious: "To be honest, because wild animals have dwindled so rapidly in recent years and their habitats have also decreased significantly, our government, in order to promote wildlife protection, not only agreed to your live-streaming of animals, but also to allow a Chinese wildlife documentary film crew to film."
Wen Li paused for a moment, then immediately said, "I haven't seen any film crew at all from the very beginning!"
Corey nodded: "They definitely need to go up the mountain to film wildlife, and they were the first to report the fire, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to react so quickly."
"Of course, they didn't cause the fire. The infrared camera captured the poachers not turning off the fire after they finished burning things, and it caught fire shortly afterward."
Corey is now physically and mentally exhausted.
It's not just because the fire is getting bigger, but because too many important people are involved. If it's not handled properly, his official position is not the worst thing; the most terrifying thing is that it could cause a social incident.
"The wildlife documentary team came down the mountain an hour ago, but—"
"None of the wildlife conservation experts involved in the filming came down the mountain."
"They want to move as many wild animals in the mountains as possible to safe places."
"And among them are seventeen zoology experts from your country, China."
