Chapter 64: Retire from the army but not lose your ambition, retire but not fade away!

"Boss, you're strong? Damn, after you retired, you actually came to Chang'an City to work as a firefighter? Didn't you say you were going home to your wife and kids? You're playing buddy again, aren't you?"

Lin Yan hugged the visitor in surprise!
Su Qiang was a close friend who slept on the same bunk bed with Lin Yan when Lin Yan was serving in the army.

He just smiled brightly: "Hey, Yanzi, you know that I joined the army alone, so how can I have a wife and children? The fire department in my hometown was full, so I was transferred to Chang'an City. That's it."

Then he exhaled and his expression became serious.

"Yanzi, it's rare that we can see each other again after retiring from the army. I really want to chat with you for the whole day. But now you can see that this thief God has gone crazy for some reason and suddenly started to rush into the water here. Now I'm too busy to handle everything. I have to leave immediately!"

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed.

"is it so serious?"

"In my area alone, there are at least 20 places waiting for rescue! And the number of calls for help received by the headquarters is increasing! This damn God, it was still sunny a few hours ago, but now it looks like a flood. Can you believe it? Not to mention the bus just now, many low-lying areas have already started to flood the first floor."

"…If you're short on manpower, count me in! I haven't forgotten what I learned in the army."

"You can pull him down."

Su Qiang said in a deep voice: "Yanzi, don't you know the discipline in the army? Even if you are a soldier for life, since you haven't officially returned to the army, you are still a civilian! How can you let civilians go to the front line? Do you want to get your brother punished?"

Lin Yan didn't care, he just stayed on the speedboat and said coldly:

"If you had the ability to talk like that, we would have saved another person a long time ago! How come, after retiring from the army for a few years, you have become so cowardly that you value punishment more than human life? Where's the courage you had to kick the instructor's ass? Gone?"

"Hey you kid, can this be a thing!"

"I don't care if it's a big deal or not, just don't waste your time here! In an emergency, you have to act accordingly. If you keep whining and making me angry, I won't recognize you as my brother! There are so many people in need of help now, and you want me to be an honest civilian hiding at home. Is this something that people like us who have served in the military can do? Huh!?"

Seeing Lin Yan getting angry at Su Qiang, the firefighters on the speedboat immediately stood in awe.

Su Qiang was mad at Lin Yan, but he didn't look angry at all. Instead, he punched Lin Yan and laughed heartily.

"Good boy, you are so loyal. I really didn't make a mistake about you! But don't even think about it. Discipline is discipline and it can't be negotiated. If you really want to help, the district has designated the gymnasium two blocks away as a temporary shelter. Many disaster victims will be temporarily transferred there. That's where people are needed the most. Go or not? Just one word! If you want to go, I can take you there!"

"What are you talking about? Let's go!"

However, Su Qiang pointed to the side with a strange look on his face.

In addition to Lin Yan, there was actually another person who got on the speedboat!
"If you need help, count me in!"

Martha obviously did not have Lin Yan's well-trained skills. She grabbed the edge of the speedboat but could not climb up, and looked a little anxious.

But the stubbornness in her eyes was exactly the same as Lin Yan's!
"What are you doing here again? Go back to your room and be obedient, Martha!"

"No! Yan, I'll go wherever you go. I don't want to stay alone in a safe place!" When Lin Yan tried to pry open Martha's hand that was holding the speedboat, Martha took the opportunity to grab Lin Yan's arm tightly and said very seriously:
"Yan! Don't you Chinese have a saying that goes like this - share happiness and share difficulties. We are already boyfriend and girlfriend, right? How can you bear to let me stay alone in a safe place while you go and risk your life to save others!"

"It's not dangerous there. You heard it. I just went to the stadium to help relocate the people. The terrain there is high and there is no danger!"

"Since there's no danger, why don't you let me go with you! No matter how powerful you are, you're only one person. If they're really short of manpower, I can certainly help!"

The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest!

"Martha! I beg you to stay in the hotel and don't go out!"

"You helped save people, that's enough, that's good enough! Let's call it a day for today! Don't go outside!"

"Oh my god! Was that series of explosions just now a thunderstorm? It's too dangerous, Martha, I beg you, don't be willful, come back soon!"

"The host is a lucky person and will be fine. We can just watch the host's live broadcast. There is really no need to follow him!"

Regardless of whether it was the Chinese IP, the Emirates IP, or the IP of any other country or region, at this moment, in this hodgepodge live broadcast room, an unprecedented high degree of consensus was reached. All netizens were urging Martha not to go out, and even Lin Yan himself was firmly opposed to Martha doing this!
however.

Martha once again activated her "princess privilege". No matter how others persuaded her, no one could change the princess's stubborn decision! Not even Lin Yan!

- My goodness, Martha, why do I think you are acting like a princess? When you are willful, you really don't listen to anyone, right?

When Lin Yan was really going crazy, it was Su Qiang who came to his rescue.

It's just the opposite.

"Come on, girl, hold on tight. This is a life jacket. Put it on. Remember to hold on tight when we're on the boat."

Lin Yan: “???”

Su Qiang: "Tsk, what's with that look in your eyes? Who was it that just acted like a jerk in front of our entire team and said he wanted to help with disaster relief? What, you don't recognize me when you change your position, right? If we had wasted time here, we would have saved another person a long time ago! Who said that? Huh?"

Lin Yan spat out blood: "How can this be true? I am a trained professional, and Martha is a tourist from the Arab Emirates. She has never even seen a few rains!"

"You don't have to see the rain, just help accommodate the people in the stadium. Isn't it a good thing that she is willing to help you?"

After saying that, he pushed Lin Yan down, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered to him:
"Yanzi, even though I haven't had a girlfriend yet, I'm not blind."

"You can tell from her skin that she is a little princess from a rich family. I'm afraid she has never suffered so much in her life. But she didn't say a word even in the rain on the boat, for fear that you would send her back."

"This girl's heart is all on you. If you let her down, you will be punished!"
