Chapter 79: Be a coward for a lifetime or a hero for a minute, it's shocking!
"Get out of the way!"

Listening to the soldiers around him vying to fight, Lin Yan shouted loudly, causing everyone around him to pause.

"I'm Lin Yan, a top-class tank driver from the Jinghai District. I've broken the unit's records in many harsh driving scenarios. My record is available for review. If you don't agree, show your support! You all know that this is a matter of life and death for tens of millions of people in Chang'an City, so of course we should let the person with the best driving skills do it! This is how we treat the entire city!"

When he announced his name, there was a burst of exclamations among the soldiers in the army.

"What? He is that Lin Yan? The legendary figure known as the genius tank driver?"

"Is he great?"

"More than amazing, just as he said, he can drive a tank in any harsh environment as if it were flat ground. He scored full marks in all special driving skills and set countless corresponding driving records!"

"But I heard that he retired and became a broadcaster. I didn't expect to see him here again. If it was him, he would indeed be the most suitable person to carry out this mission... But it's still not okay! Letting retired comrades from Jinghai District sacrifice for our Chang'an District, if this gets out, how can we face other districts?"

"Now is not the time to argue about face. Since he is indeed suitable for this task, let him do it! The one who is successful comes first, and does not fight for false reputation. Otherwise, it will really be a joke with the lives and safety of the people!"

The soldiers gradually reached a consensus.

The first Allen audience in the live broadcast room opened their eyes wide in surprise.

It sounds like this Chinese anchor can actually drive a tank?

When I heard him talk about this before, I thought he was bragging!

Although tank driving and truck driving are two different things, Lin Yan's rich experience in driving in harsh environments is what is most needed now.

After all, theoretically, to drive a truck into the water to block the mouth, you only need to step on the accelerator and then jump out of the car at the right time. Let alone tank driving skills, in theory, anyone without a driver's license can do it.

But obviously things are not that simple.

Acceleration distance, timing of jumping off the vehicle, calculation of vehicle inertia, impaired vision caused by heavy rain... Without sufficient driving experience, it would be impossible to process so much information.

If any of these points are handled incorrectly, the price won’t just be paid to one or two people, but to the tens of millions of people in Chang’an City behind them!

After Lin Yan revealed his identity, knowing the key point, even Li Yuanzhao no longer insisted.

"Little comrade..."

He pressed Lin Yan's shoulders, his eyes firm, yet iron-blooded and tender.

"Take care of yourself."

Chang'an District, thank you for your kindness, brother!

"Take care, comrade."

All the soldiers saluted Lin Yan in unison.

Lin Yan did not refuse, but said calmly:
"I'm sitting in the cab to rest and recover my strength. If you still have the strength, please load all the sandbags and rocks that can be loaded. The heavier the truck, the better!"

Everyone started to act quickly.

Bags of sand and boulders were loaded onto the truck. Soon, the cargo hold of the medium-sized truck was fully loaded, ready to go.

After filling it up, Lin Yan test drove the truck on the embankment for a while. After getting a rough idea of ​​the speed, acceleration, road conditions and other factors of a fully loaded truck, he selected the most appropriate acceleration distance.

Then he gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the brakes, and pressed a brick firmly on the accelerator.

As soon as you release the brake, the fully loaded truck will move off immediately.

He looked out the window.

The warriors are paying tribute to the warriors with the highest respect.

Volunteers in the distance were shouting loudly, praying for his safe return.

Martha also stared at Lin Yan closely and gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Yan smiled and gave her a thumbs up in response. ——I will definitely come back!

Release the brakes!

The tires carrying the full weight of the truck began to roll slowly, accompanied by the noisy sound of the engine. The tires turned faster and faster, and the speed of the truck also became faster and faster!
"coming!"

"Will it work? The size of other trucks won't fit this hole. This is the only chance!"

"Anchor, rush in! Seal the hole! And come back alive!"

Unconsciously, even the audience in the live broadcast room were cheering for Lin Yan at this moment!

Martha felt like her heart was about to jump out!
The Emirates was a wealthy place, and she had often heard of and even watched a car race called the "Chicken Game," where two people drove a car towards a cliff and stepped on the accelerator to the limit. The one who stepped on the brake first lost. Even more radical, the car would step on the accelerator directly, and the drivers of both cars had to find the right time to jump out of the car, and the one who was farther from the cliff would lose.

Lin Yan is now playing such a "game", but his opponent is not the people in the other car, but this evil God who wants to destroy Chang'an City!

Martha didn't even know how to cheer Lin Yan up.

Should Lin Yan jump out of the car as soon as possible? This is certainly safe, but what if the car loses control and is stuck in the bad road conditions, deviates from the original track, and finally enters the water at an inappropriate angle?
Should Lin Yan jump out of the car later? But the car was going so fast, if he got too close to the gap, what if he was thrown into the river by the strong inertia? That would kill Lin Yan!

She was in a state of confusion. As she watched the truck going further and further away, she felt as if an invisible black hand was gripping her heart, making her feel uncomfortable, suffocated, and her whole body cold and weak!
"Go ahead! Go ahead! Don't be afraid! Go ahead!"

Countless soldiers shouted in unison!

Did they not want Lin Yan to live? Of course not! However, if they were in the driver's seat, they would definitely stick to their posts until the last moment. They would never choose to jump out of the car unless they were "certain" to die a second later!

That passion seemed to have a special appeal, which gradually helped Martha to come out of her depression.

"Yan! Go ahead!!!"

She screamed.

If her loved one unfortunately dies, she may be very sad and heartbroken, and may even do something irrational in the heat of the moment.

But if his beloved survived, the price would be that half of the city might be destroyed - then, with his kindness, what difference would it make if he was alive in this world and dead?
Martha didn't want to see Lin Yan live in guilt and pain all day long! She didn't want to see this beautiful Chang'an city turned into a flooded country because of that one thought!
So go ahead, Yan!

If I were sitting there, I believe Yan would encourage myself in the same way!

Amid everyone's roar, the truck was speeding up, its inertia growing stronger and stronger, and it was getting closer and closer to the opening!
Ten meters!

Five meters!

Three meters!

Not jumping yet!

Everyone gritted their teeth, as if they were also sitting in the driver's seat where their lives could be lost at any time!
"—Boom!"

A muffled sound!
But it was not the loud bang of the truck entering the water, but the truck suddenly fell into a pit when it was running the last few meters!
It is raining heavily now and the ground is full of water. Just relying on lighting, you can't even notice the puddle!

But fortunately, the puddle was not too deep. The whole truck just swayed for a bit and did not stop, but continued to rush forward!

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this!
If Lin Yan had jumped earlier, the entire truck's forward trajectory would have been disrupted by this sway!

But now the truck is only one meter away!

"Word!!!"

A figure jumped out of the truck!

Then——

boom!
It sounded like thunder!

The truck loaded with sandbags and stones, as planned, took off briefly with the powerful inertia, glided for a moment, and then rushed straight into the gap!

Just like the human wall before, it became a wall, temporarily blocking the gap!
