"The magnitude of the earthquake is unprecedented in China, occurring only once every forty years, and the number of casualties remains unknown!"
That concludes the broadcast.
The principal turned to look at the four of them, his face filled with surprise. "How did you manage that?"
Ren Gan chuckled, "My great-grandmother appeared to me in a dream in the middle of the night..."
"Alright, alright, you can all go back now, it's nothing."
"Oh, Principal, aren't we going to be held responsible?"
The principal came over in the middle of the night, thinking that his student had gotten into some serious trouble that had damaged the school's reputation. Unexpectedly, the matter suddenly turned into a good thing, which was simply unbelievable.
The sinner has become a saint, and now he has nothing to say.
"You should all leave now. Behave yourselves these next few days. If we don't need you, you'd better not cause any trouble," the principal said sternly.
That's considered being pardoned.
Ye Zhou: "I understand. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about this."
Chen Yang didn't quite understand: "Why can't we tell anyone? We did a great thing!"
Principal: "Alright, all of you go back. Let's pretend this whole thing, and this conversation, never happened. I'm doing this to protect you."
Ye Zhou grabbed Chen Yang's shoulder. "Principal, we're leaving. Thank you for your kind reminder late at night."
On the way back to the dormitory, Chen Yang kept muttering, "Brother Zhou, how many people can we save?"
"I don't know. Let's see the news tomorrow morning. There are still several days of search and rescue."
...
The news came out the next day.
"Two hundred and thirty-nine people were injured, six are missing, and there were no fatalities," Chen Yang read aloud while looking at his phone.
Ye Zhou also opened the news headline on his phone.
The streets and trees in the picture are completely indistinguishable, the houses have collapsed to pieces, and there are cracks in the ground.
There wasn't a single intact house to be found within a hundred miles.
Ye Zhou flipped through one photo after another of the scene photos. The angles from which these photos were taken were exactly the same as those he had seen in his previous life, except that the people being pinned down were missing.
The images from my past life were absolutely horrifying, and coupled with the torrential rain after the earthquake, it was as if rivers of blood were flowing.
In this life, he truly did his best and changed the fate of hundreds of thousands of people.
"Brother Zhou, do we consider this a success?"
"Compared to before, it can be said to be a great success."
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "I've been so nervous these past two days, I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly."
Rang Rengan: "I never imagined that I, at such a young age, would become a savior."
Ye Zhou turned off his phone. "I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow, a big meal."
Bai Xu whispered, "You didn't forget you have two exams tomorrow, did you?"
Ye Zhou frowned. "Didn't we finish the exams a long time ago?"
"There are still two exams left, Zhou-ge. You haven't forgotten which ones you haven't taken yet, have you?"
Ye Zhou smiled awkwardly. He always just took a pen into the exam room and didn't pay attention to these things.
He usually only finds out which subject he's being tested on when the test papers are handed out.
However, his skills were so good that no problem could stump him.
The phone rang, and Ye Zhou glanced at the number before going into the bathroom to answer it.
"Sealing off?"
"It was me, Ye Zhou. You did it, and you did it very well. Thank you." Feng Gan's tone was somewhat excited. "From now on, you'll be in charge of taking care of Feng Kun. You don't need to worry about him too much, just make sure he doesn't do anything bad. He's doing well in his studies. I've already enrolled him in the most prestigious business school. You can give him some guidance occasionally, and he'll improve."
Ye Zhou frowned. Why did this sound like a farewell, rather than a serious conversation?
"What are you doing? Saying goodbye to me?"
There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone. "Is it that obvious? But not yet. I'm on my way to Mengliang right now."
"I must say, you are still a kind person."
"Haha, the word 'kindness' doesn't suit me. Ye Zhou, your future is limitless. We were both people with regrets in our past lives. In this life, we must change what we can. Also, haha, never mind, I won't say anymore. You have to take good care of that kid Feng Kun."
The call was suddenly disconnected, probably due to network issues.
...
The study atmosphere in the dormitory has never been as strong as it is now.
Ye Zhou had nothing to do and couldn't bother his girlfriend, who was also studying for her exams.
For him, reviewing for the exam wouldn't change the final result.
At noon, I put on my backpack.
Chen Yang's roommates found it strange, and Chen Yang asked, "Zhou, are you planning to stay out all night with your girlfriend?"
"No, we're going on vacation."
Ren Gan was so engrossed in his studies that he almost spat out a mouthful of water when he finally managed to drink it.
"Huh? A trip? My exam's at 8 AM tomorrow!"
Ye Zhou acted as if he hadn't heard anything, walked out of the dormitory, and gently closed the door behind him.
Half an hour later, the plane took off, and two hours later, it arrived at the airport 50 kilometers away from Mengliang City.
Ye Zhou was the only passenger on the entire flight.
The plane landed smoothly.
As Ye Zhou exited the airport, he was met by a host and a row of cameras, something he hadn't expected.
The microphone was practically shoved in his face. "Sir, you are the only passenger on this flight. You must have known about the earthquake, so why did you insist on taking the flight? Are you with family or friends?"
Ye Zhou was somewhat disdainful. Good heavens, were they trying to create a spectacle out of him? Was they going to put on a tearful performance?
"Excuse me, I just came to help out."
Ye Zhou didn't have much time to give them an interview and left directly through the crowd of reporters.
"By the way, you'd better leave quickly. With this weather, it's likely to pour rain tonight."
The reporter looked up and saw a clear blue sky with white clouds; the weather couldn't be better.
Ye Zhou knew this female reporter. In his previous life, she had been sobbing uncontrollably during interviews because she had witnessed too many horrific scenes.
"Huh? It's raining?"
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "You'd better take an umbrella."
...
Walking on the wide road, the visual impact is more direct and intense than what you see on your phone.
In the face of natural disasters, humanity is so small and insignificant.
Ye Zhou followed his memory and arrived at a dam.
Sure enough, they saw Feng Gan and his group of brothers, carrying bag after bag of sandbags, the two hundred men working up a sweat.
Ye Zhou stepped forward and walked up to Feng Gan, who was rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.
"You started fighting floods in the sweltering heat, and your brothers don't even want to get your head checked? They all trust you so much."
