Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

The first wave of sandstorm hit us, and visibility dropped sharply, making it feel like dusk.

While it wasn't pitch black, objects two or three meters away were still invisible.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

Sand, carried by the wind, lashed violently against the car windows and roof, making a chilling sound.

It didn't sound like the patter of raindrops hitting a car body, but rather like the sound of fingernails scraping across a blackboard.

The vehicle's barometer was jumping wildly, and the external air pressure dropped by 22 hPa within 5 minutes, causing a sharp, needle-like pain in my eardrums.

The red light on the car's dashboard came on, and the warning beeping sound pierced the howling wind.

"Are you scared?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

GAKKI shook her head without saying anything, but simply held Lin Yuan's hand.

Charlize Theron showed no fear: "What's there to be afraid of? You're here. Besides, compared to what I've been through before, this is nothing."

Lin Yuan smiled knowingly upon hearing Charlize Theron's answer.

It has to be said that the women around him have all been through a lot, and their hearts are all incredibly strong.

Charlize Theron, however, has faced with him the endless wildfires in Canada, the devastating Yarra avalanche, and the earth-shattering collapse of ice walls.

Compared to those "big scenes," this current black sandstorm, though frightening, is not something to worry about too much.

As long as you stay inside the car, there will be no danger.

The three of them stayed quietly in the car, even humming a little tune.

"Love came too fast, like a tornado~"

The knocking sounds coming from the car body were like background music.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

"Crackling~ Crackling~"

"Boom! Boom!"

But before he could finish humming the song, Lin Yuan stopped, and his expression became serious.

"Don't you feel that the storm seems to have gotten more intense?" GAKKI-chan asked, seemingly noticing the change.

"Not only has the wind gotten stronger, but there are also more pebbles in the gale! Everyone, sit in the back and fasten your seatbelts!" Lin Yuan shouted.

His tension was not unfounded; the knocking sound coming from the car body changed from the sound of sand rubbing together to the sound of pebbles hitting each other.

If there are large rocks in the wind, at such high wind speeds, their power is no less than that of a steel pillar shot out by a slingshot.

If a large rock hits the windshield...

Lin Yuan suddenly felt a sense of unease: Meng Tao and the camel trainers were outside the vehicle; what if something went wrong?

He looked up, but the visibility was so low that he couldn't see Meng Tao and the others at all.

"Will Coach Meng be in danger?" Charlize had obviously thought of this as well.

"Probably not. The camel herd is on the innermost layer, and there are two layers of barriers: the outermost layer of trucks and our off-road vehicles. In addition, the cargo and camels provide cover, so Meng Tao and the others should be fine," Lin Yuan replied after thinking for a moment.

"But with such a big storm, what if the camels get startled and cause a stampede?" Charlize was still worried.

“Meng Tao made thorough preparations. All the camels were chained up and couldn’t run around. They were also blindfolded to prevent them from being startled. Moreover, there was the calming effect of wormwood,” Lin Yuan replied.

"Wood wormwood for calming?" GAKKI asked curiously.

"Yes, I just saw the camel trainer stuffing wormwood into the camel's nostrils. The thujone it contains can reduce the camel's heart rate by 17%, further reducing the probability of it being startled," Lin Yuan replied.

"You can do that? Every industry has its own unique methods," Charlize said incredulously.

"Now you know, you don't need to worry..."

"Boom!"

"save……"

Just then, a loud crash was heard, followed by a sharp wail.

Lin Yuan and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark shadow flash past to their right, like a torn kite tumbling away into the distance.

"Has someone been swept away by the storm?"

The thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind like lightning.

There... is the Mitsubishi Pajero that Depp is riding in!

Depp's vehicle was just to Lin Yuan's right front, not far away, but still at the edge of his field of vision, blurry and difficult to see clearly.

"Is something wrong? Is it Depp's car?" GAKKI asked.

"It's possible that a large rock just now shattered the windshield of the vehicle. I wonder if someone was swept away," Lin Yuan said with a grave expression.

Although the current storm is not strong enough to lift people into the air like a tornado, it is not a problem for people to lose their footing and be swept away by the strong wind.

Someone was really swept away? Who was it?
"Could it be Scarlett or Amber?" Charlize asked worriedly.

Because Meng Tao left the vehicle to work with the camel trainer, only Depp and two others remained in the Mitsubishi Pajero.

If the glass window were to be broken at this moment, Depp alone would probably not be able to handle the crisis.

Lin Yuan became increasingly worried, and he tightened the zipper of his windproof jacket.

"You all stay seated in the car, I'm going to take a look."

"Okay, be careful." *2
Neither of them tried to dissuade Lin Yuan from going; they knew he was worried and would definitely go to check on things.

"I'll be back soon."

Lin Yuan reached for the car door handle, but found he couldn't open it despite his effort...

The wind outside was so strong that it pressed firmly against the car door, making it impossible for Lin Yuan to open it for a moment.

"Boom!"

So Lin Yuan could only shove his shoulder into the SUV and quickly squeeze out, closing the door just in time.

But in that short span of less than a second, Lin Yuan saw countless wisps of sand seep in through the gaps in the car door.

It looks like the two of them will have to do a lot of work cleaning the car.

Lin Yuan didn't have time to think too much, because the wind was just too strong.

The sand, carried by the gale, lashed against Lin Yuan's face, feeling like countless tiny blades cutting into him.

Every now and then, a pebble or two, about the size of a quail egg, would hit his windproof jacket, causing him a sharp pain.

If it weren't for the thick winter clothes, I probably would have been covered in bruises.

Lin Yuan squinted, his eyelashes already covered with a layer of sand, his vision filled with only a hazy, violent yellow, but he still headed clearly toward the right front.

The wind was so strong it almost pulled him off the ground.

He suddenly lowered his body, almost crawling on the ground, his fingers digging into the sand, his fingernails filled with coarse particles.

But the storm persisted, like an invisible hand grabbing his collar, trying to flip him over and throw him high into the air.

He staggered, his left leg was lifted off the ground by a sudden whirlwind, and he was almost sent flying.

He gritted his teeth and lunged forward, his chest slamming heavily onto the sand. His arms were outstretched, and he remained motionless like a stone statue nailed to the earth.

Sand got into his collar and cuffs, rubbing against his skin and causing a burning pain.

"I can't stop, I can't stop..." Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and crawled forward using both hands and feet during a brief respite from the wind.

This was literally gritting his teeth, because if he dared to open his mouth even a crack, it would immediately fill with sand.

But he hadn't climbed very far when another storm hit, and sand and gravel pelted his jacket.

Even when it got close to their mouths, and they were wearing masks, their mouths were still full of sand, and when they bit down, it made a crunching sound.

Lin Yuan dared not breathe through his mouth, only through his nose, but his nasal cavity was already blocked by sand and dust, and every breath felt like the air in his lungs was being sucked out.

Finally, he arrived in front of Depp's car.

The scene before him immediately stunned him:
There was a fist-sized hole in the windshield of the vehicle, surrounded by spiderweb-like cracks.

Behind the car window, a figure swayed in the wind on the table and chair.

If it weren't for the seatbelt, I probably would have fallen to the ground.

Lin Yuan immediately recognized the figure as Depp, who appeared to have lost consciousness.

What worried him even more was that the left door of the SUV was inexplicably open, flapping back and forth in the gale like a broken butterfly wing, vaguely revealing long, golden hair swaying inside the vehicle.

"Long blonde hair? Is it Scarlett or Amber Heard?"

Lin Yuan didn't have time to think about anything else and immediately strode forward.

Scarlett Johansson's waist was caught in the seatbelt, her upper body was being pulled by the strong wind, and her blonde hair was whipping against the car door like a whip.

Only Scarlett Johansson and Johnny Depp were inside the car; Amber Heard was nowhere to be seen.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan arrive, Scarlett immediately showed a look of surprise and delight, but she dared not speak and could only gesture wildly with her hands.

Lin Yuan barely understood what she meant: "I'm stuck, please help me out."

Without time to inquire about Amber's whereabouts or check on Depp's condition, they had to rescue Scarlett first, otherwise she was hanging halfway outside the car and could be swept away by the strong wind at any moment.

Lin Yuan immediately pushed open the car door and reached for the back seat.

As soon as you get inside the car, you immediately feel that the sandstorm has lessened considerably. Even though there is a large hole in the windshield, it can still block most of the sandstorm.

"The seatbelt is stuck, right?" Lin Yuan asked.

Scarlett nodded vigorously.

It appears that sand got into the seatbelt buckle, causing the button to jam and preventing it from opening normally.

Lin Yuan didn't have time to fix the buckle problem, so he chose the most drastic method: cutting the safety rope.

He then pulled a folding knife from his pocket.

Although he uses metal business cards most of the time, he still keeps a folding knife.

With a flash, the blade slashed precisely between Scarlett's arm and pelvis.

The extremely tough seatbelt immediately split in two.

The master-level knife skills, which are usually only used for slicing meat, showed an extremely powerful side at this moment, making the seat belt, which is difficult to cut, offer no resistance at all when the high-speed blade flashed past.

The instant the seatbelt snapped, Lin Yuan immediately reached under Scarlett's armpit and pulled her into the back seat of the car.

The two lowered their bodies and whispered to each other from behind the front and back seats.

"Thank you for saving me."

"Let's not talk about that now. What happened to Depp? What about Amber Heard?"

"Just now, a large rock smashed through the windshield and hit Depp on the head, and he immediately passed out."

Sand rushed into the car, and in her panic, Amber accidentally opened the door. She wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was immediately swept out by the wind. I don't know where she went.

Although he spoke somewhat in a flustered manner, Lin Yuan immediately pieced together what had happened from Scarlett's narration.

He first climbed to the front of the seat, unbuckled Depp's seatbelt, and dragged him to the back seat.

After checking Depp's wound, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief:

Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious; the pebble wasn't sharp and didn't leave any large open wounds.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to treat such a wound in the desert, and the patient would have to be sent back for treatment.

It's lucky that it's just bruises now.

Lin Yuan knew that Depp's current mental confusion was just a temporary fainting spell caused by his imagination being hit hard, and that he should be fine after a rest.

So after quickly cleaning his wound, Lin Yuan turned to Scarlett and said, "You watch over Depp, I'm going to find Amber."

"With such a strong sandstorm, how are you going to find it?"

"Didn't you notice that the wind is already decreasing? Once this sandstorm slows down, it will stop soon. I'll go find Meng Tao first; I can't find him by myself."

"Okay, be careful." Scarlett couldn't offer any real help, so she could only nod obediently.

Lin Yuan jumped out of the car and headed towards the inner camel enclosure.

From the time he got into the car to rescue Scarlett, it was only 4 or 5 minutes, but the wind had already noticeably weakened.

The sand was still rough on my face, but the burning pain was gone, and my vision was much better.

Lin Yuan quickly found his way into the camel enclosure.

The camel trainers leaning against the camel's back were very surprised to see Lin Yuan arrive.

After understanding the meaning behind Lin Yuan's gestures, they pointed out Meng Tao's location.

There were over 70 camels huddled together in a large group; it would be really hard to find them without directions.

When Lin Yuan found Meng Tao, he was resting with his arms wrapped around his knees and his eyes closed.

Lin Yuan patted Meng Tao on the shoulder.

Meng Tao opened his eyes, covered his mouth in surprise, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Amber is missing.

"F*ck! What happened?"

Lin Yuan briefly recounted what had just happened.

After learning that his fiancée had been safely rescued, Meng Tao patted Lin Yuan gratefully: "Thank goodness you went to check in time, otherwise Scarlett might have been swept away too."

"The most important thing now is to find Amber. But I have absolutely no idea in which direction to search."

Meng Tao stretched out his hand to feel the wind: "The wind is about to stop. Fortunately, this storm didn't last long, otherwise Amber would have been in grave danger."

"Should we mobilize everyone to search in all directions?" Lin Yuan asked.

"No need for that trouble, you can handle it," Meng Tao replied.

"Rely on me? I don't know which direction Amber is in," Lin Yuan asked doubtfully.

Meng Tao pointed at the camels scattered on the ground: "Aren't you a master of animal language? Communicate with them and let them find it."

"camel?"

"Don't you know that in desert search and rescue operations, a camel's nose is more useful than a dog's?"

Don't worry, finding Amber will be easy. Her perfume is so strong, she's like a flare in the dark.

"It can be like this?" (End of Chapter)
