Chapter 62: When the building is about to collapse, there will always be someone going against the current!
Lin Yan also wanted to persuade Martha.
However, when he saw Martha's eyes full of determination, he realized that once this "willful little princess" got angry, ten cows would not be able to stop her.
Even if I don't let her go out, she will definitely sneak out to the streets and commit suicide after I leave.
Instead of this, it is better to let her stay within your sight.
Lin Yan silently took out a bundle of sturdy ropes from his bag.
"...Yan, why did you give me the rope?"
"I won't let you leave this hotel. This is the bottom line. Don't rush to say anything. The bottom line is the bottom line. At most, I will allow you to stay in the lobby or on the second floor. You just need to protect my lifeline."
lifeline?
This rope?
Looking at Martha's silly look, Lin Yan knew that she didn't know how to swim at all, so he had to briefly explain to her the importance of the lifeline.
No matter how good you are at swimming, in such a rainstorm, one roll in the waves could easily knock you out. At this time, with this lifeline tied to your body, you at least have a chance of survival!
"Okay, okay! I understand, Yan, I will definitely keep a close eye on you. If you are in danger, I will definitely pull you out of the water!"
Lin Yan smiled and patted her head: "What bad words are you saying? I won't fall into the water. Besides, if I really sink, can you pull me up with your strength?"
——Even if I can’t pull it up, I still have two helpers following me!
Martha puffed out her lips.
Lin Yan borrowed a life jacket from the hotel's emergency department and rushed into the heavy rain, only to feel the raindrops as big as fists constantly hitting him, causing him pain.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s just this degree. I have suffered much worse in the past!
Facing the heavy rain, Lin Yan struggled to move step by step in the turbulent river. The distance that he could easily take in one step before, now often required him to move several steps with difficulty to reach. It was really difficult.
"Yan, Yan, come on, come on, Yan!"
Holding the lifeline tightly in both hands, Martha's beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Yan. As long as her beloved Yan showed any sign of falling into the water, she would definitely go crazy and drag Lin Yan out.
At this time, some other viewers gradually came into the live broadcast room.
"Hey, I thought the anchors must have needed more than ten hours of sleep to recover after staying up so late, why are they starting the broadcast now? Oh my god, what's going on? Is China being punished by God? Why is there such a scary downpour? Wasn't it sunny and windy a few hours ago?"
"Oh God Almighty! What a terrible wind! The whole live broadcast room is whistling! Martha, please go back to your room. Although you can avoid the rain in the hotel lobby, this strong wind is not safe!"
"Huh? Why is the Huaxia Street so flooded? Don't you have sewers in China?"
"I don't think the water is deep, only up to the anchor's waist. How come there are so many broken-down cars on the street? How bad are the quality of your cars?"
"What is the anchor doing? Is he going to save someone? Oh my God, this man is too crazy. In this kind of weather, he dares to go into the water to save someone?"
Without exception, all the audience who had just entered the live broadcast room were shocked by the rainstorm in Chang'an City!
For a while, there were voices mocking China's sewer infrastructure, and there were also many voices mocking the quality of China's cars. But when their attention shifted from the heavy rain around them to Lin Yan, they were all stunned by Lin Yan's courage!
This kind of heavy rain, this scale of road flooding! Is this Chinese man not afraid of death?
Just one slip is enough! This kind of turbulent water has nothing to do with whether you can swim or not. Once you fall, you will never be able to stand up again!
Or could he count on a weak woman like Martha to pull him back along the lifeline? Come on, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this lifeline is a pure placebo effect!
To be fair, if they were in each other's shoes, they would never dare to step out to save people!
Not to mention, they could just stay in the safe room. Why would I risk my life to save them? Am I familiar with the people in the car? Is it worth it to risk my life to save them?
If these people died unfortunately... this is certainly a sad story, but that is also the glorious calling of the Lord. May they be redeemed in heaven. The audience who watched the live broadcast yesterday had different feelings.
"Respect the elderly as well as the elderly of others. This kid is not bragging. He really takes action when he sees someone in danger."
"Alas, China, a country that is prone to stealing and lying, can actually produce such a great personality. I have to say that China is lucky - why can't I make friends like this?"
Lin Yan finally walked to the stalled bus, but when he saw the details on the roof, even he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable despair in his heart!
"Why... so many people?"
too many people!
Is it just a coincidence that this bus is the golden route of Chang'an City? On the roof of the bus, Lin Yan could count at a glance that there were more than a dozen white-haired old men, women of various ages in their twenties, several crying children, and even a swaddled baby tightly held in the arms of its mother!
“Wuwuwuwu… Big brother, please save me, I don’t want to die!”
"Young man, hurry up and rescue the baby. It's raining so hard that you can't walk with the adults. At least take the child with you!"
"Handsome guy, handsome guy! Please take me away! I will repay you well, you can do whatever you want! Please take me away! I'm so cold, I'm so scared!"
When faced with great adversity, life changes in all its forms.
Lin Yan didn't care about anything else and first threw the other life jackets and raincoats he had borrowed onto the roof of the car.
"Fellow villagers, please be patient for a while. I will take this child away first and will be back soon. Please hold on, don't get close to the edge, and don't slide down! Wait for me! You must wait for me!"
Let’s do it! Let’s do it!
Facing the grateful gaze of the child's mother, Lin Yan did not dare to delay for a second and quickly turned back to the hotel.
"It takes me about five minutes to go back and forth. There are more than thirty people on the roof. If I take one person away each time, it will take at least two hours to rescue them all... Damn it!"
Can they hold on for another two hours?
Even if the water does not drown them, they would still be drenched in the rain for two hours under such heavy rain. Even an adult might not be able to withstand it, let alone the elderly and children!
At this moment, everyone in the live broadcast room seemed to feel the despair in Lin Yan.
"It's too late. Even if the anchor is twice as fast, it's impossible to save all these people."
"Alas, may their souls rest in peace."
"No matter what the result is, at least the anchor has tried his best. Just based on his courage and determination, I have decided to be his lifelong fan. Who can not admire such a man who is willing to risk his life for others?"
"Indeed. There may not be many people with such a saintly compassion in the entire Blue Planet. Isn't it our luck that we can see a living saint?"
Just as they were sighing with emotion, suddenly, from behind Lin Yan, a commotion broke out on the bus trapped in the middle of the river!
"Brother, my dad is dying. I beg you to take him back first. No matter if I survive today or not, I will work like a slave for you in my next life to repay your kindness! Please!"
"You guys! Wait a minute! Save me too! I told you I can agree to anything you ask for, don't leave me here!!"
what happened……!?
Even Lin Yan couldn't help but look back in surprise.
That is - a rope!
Ropes connecting the hope of life stretch out from all directions, from unrelated buildings, but they all point straight in the same direction!
