Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Lin Yuan knew that even though his physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, he still could not withstand the enormous pressure brought by the wet quicksand.

To escape danger, he must rely on natural conditions to find a chance of survival.

All hope rests on that basalt interlayer located 9 meters away.

Lin Yuan clearly remembered that when Meng Tao and he were conducting terrain surveys, they discovered that there was more than just quicksand directly beneath the iron cage.

In fact, the ground beneath a desert is rarely entirely composed of sand layers.

At a 30-degree angle due east of the iron cage, there is a basalt interlayer with a thickness of 2 meters extending from the east.

Once he reaches the top of that mezzanine, it means he'll have a point where he can use his legs to generate power.

Otherwise, if he were enveloped in wet quicksand, no matter how powerful he was, he would find it difficult to exert his strength.

Lin Yuan waited silently, needing an opportunity in addition to the basalt layer.

That was the geothermal well erupting again.

It can be said that the greatest danger to him comes from the high temperature and water vapor brought by the geothermal well, but the chance of escape still comes from the geothermal well.

When a geothermal well accumulates energy and ejects a column of steam upwards, it not only brings a large amount of water vapor and heat, but also forms an upward airflow channel and violently stirs up the quicksand.

Driven by immense force, the quicksand layer moves rapidly, and its viscosity will decrease significantly in a short period of time, giving Lin Yuan an extremely valuable window of opportunity to move around.

At this moment, he is silently waiting for the next geothermal well eruption.

Soon, soon.

Just wait a little longer, it won't be long.

But every second underground was unbearable. Lin Yuan felt that the sand was stickier than he had expected, like melted glass glue enveloping his entire body.

The burning stinging sensation on his skin made Lin Yuan furrow his brow and clench his teeth tightly.

This feeling was even more painful than when he emerged from the deep sea; it was as if he were being torn to pieces.

Lin Yuan knew that this was because the temperature of the surrounding sand had reached an astonishing 78°C.

These hot sand grains not only scorched his skin, but also poured into his nasal cavity like liquid glass, each one bringing an unbearable burning sensation.

He could only endure it. If it weren't for his lung capacity, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, and his blood oxygen utilization rate of up to 65% (compared to 25% for ordinary people), he would have already suffocated and fallen into a coma.

In the midst of this agony, the entire sand layer suddenly began to shake violently, and the geothermal well was about to erupt again!

In the darkness, Lin Yuan's pupils dilated to their limit. Even though his retina was bleeding due to high pressure, his enhanced visual nerves could still vaguely perceive what was happening:
There is intense thermal agitation 2 meters to the right and below; that should be the steam vent.

At the lower left corner, around four o'clock, the sand flow was abnormal, seemingly obstructed; that should be the location of the rock slab.

Lin Yuan was completely focused, silently waiting for that glimmer of hope to appear.

Finally, a tremendous force erupted from the ground, shooting straight upwards with an incredibly hot temperature!
Lin Yuan felt the pressure he was under drop dramatically in an instant.

Although there is still considerable pressure, it has completely stopped him from taking action.

At this critical moment when every second counts, Lin Yuan slammed his right leg against the iron cage.

The enormous reaction force carried him like a fish breaking free of the iron cage, heading straight for the east.

In that life-or-death moment, Lin Yuan unleashed his full potential, even more so than he had anticipated.

The force of the impact from that kick caused his leg bones, which had a bone density 2.5 times that of an average person, to ache slightly.

However, what he got in return was that he suddenly rushed more than 3 meters through the flowing sand layer underground and landed steadily on top of the basalt interlayer.

down to earth!

This feeling is so good!

Lin Yuan had had enough of the suffering of being trapped in quicksand with nowhere to put his strength.

Every inch of Lin Yuan's skin was screaming.

His thin shirt was wet and scalding hot, clinging to his scalded skin, and every movement felt like tearing his flesh apart.

The bare arm was covered with blisters, which burst under the friction of the sand, and pus and blood mixed with the sand to form scabs.

His nasal cavity was filled with a terrible, acrid smell that he couldn't block out even though he had been holding his breath. It was the smell of scalding sand particles invading his nasal cavity and killing countless cells with their high temperature.

But he remained curled up like a sculpture on the basalt slab, letting the hot sand lick his back, waiting for the water vapor that was about to erupt for the second time.

The energy release from geothermal wells is usually continuous and multiple times.

The first impact has the strongest energy, temperature, and force.

Under high temperature and pressure, the temperature of water vapor can reach 150℃, and the ejection speed can reach 18 meters per second.

Lin Yuan could not withstand such intense temperature and impact.

Even under these conditions, the rate of decrease in resistance to quicksand can reach 88%.

He was waiting for the second steam eruption.

The energy of the second eruption will be significantly reduced, but it will still be within Lin Yuan's tolerance range.

Only by using the airflow created by the eruption did he have a chance to escape this seemingly hopeless situation.

"boom--!!"

Just then, a muffled thunderous roar came from deep within the sand layer, and the entire quicksand area was like a boiling furnace, causing the basalt slab beneath Lin Yuan's feet to tremble violently.

"coming soon!"

Lin Yuan tensed his leg muscles, fully preparing himself.

He carefully sensed the changes in his surroundings.

Steam temperature: Approximately 122℃

Ejection velocity: possibly 14 m/s?

The rate of decrease in resistance to quicksand: perhaps 72%?

All of this was based on his speculation, making a rough estimate by comparing the sensations on his body surface with the data that had been precisely measured in the previous wave.

Lin Yuan didn't know if it was accurate or not, but he only had this one chance, and he had to go no matter what.

The long-accumulated geothermal torrent suddenly erupted!
Less than 0.5 seconds after the huge column of air shot straight up.

"It's now!"

Lin Yuan's leg muscles compressed to their limit like springs, and then he exerted force so hard that the rock slab under his arches cracked open with a spiderweb-like pattern.

Unparalleled explosive power was released, causing Lin Yuan to surge upwards like a cannonball!

The upward rush is like traversing a lava waterfall; your eardrums temporarily lose their hearing due to the dramatic change in air pressure—a familiar experience.

The scalding sand hit my face like being bombarded at close range by a shotgun.

Steam, carrying sharp mineral crystals, plowed countless bloody gashes into his reinforced skin.

Lin Yuan felt as if he had been skinned alive; he must be covered in blood and gore right now.

The red information flashing wildly across my retina, constantly refreshing the screen:
[Warning! The host has suffered second-degree burns, with partial necrosis of nerve endings in the inner thigh, back, and chest areas.] [Warning! The host has a stress fracture of the right scapula!]

[WARNING! The host has bilateral eardrum rupture, resulting in 70% hearing loss!]

[WARNING! Burns to the host's respiratory tract and sloughing of the tracheal mucosa!]

[WARNING! The host has suffered abrasions all over his body; the friction from sand particles has caused over 500 micro-wounds!]

[Warning! The host is experiencing systemic dehydration, leading to electrolyte imbalance. Current serum sodium concentration is 160 mmol/L!]

……

There's just too much information to keep up with.

Lin Yuan glanced over and realized that this was the first time he had ever suffered such a comprehensive injury.

He suffered every type of injury imaginable, from head to toe.

If this kind of injury were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, it would probably require all departments to come together for a joint consultation.

But at this moment, Lin Yuan was completely oblivious to his injuries.

If we can't seize this only chance to escape, then everything else is meaningless.

Suddenly, a tearing pain shot through my left leg!
A broken piece of iron chain pierced his thigh, and the high temperature coagulated the wound to stop the bleeding.

The excruciating pain almost made Lin Yuan cry out, and the surge of adrenaline caused his pupils to contract abruptly.

But his expression was one of joy, because he had grabbed the chain!
It's impossible for him to leap directly from underground to the surface with a single bound.

His initial target was the iron chain above the cage.

As long as he can reach the iron chain at a depth of at least 3 meters underground, he can climb out using both his hands and feet.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan's palms, scalded by steam, gripped the steel cable tightly, sticking to the chain with blood and foam.

He was covered in blood, climbing inch by inch like a demon crawling out of hell, leaving a dark red trail on the iron chain.

Although every step upward was incredibly agonizing, Lin Yuan felt increasingly at ease.

Just like the pressure that is constantly decreasing.

His movements became faster and faster, and his ascent speed continued to increase.

at last……

"Crack-!"

The moment Lin Yuan's head broke through the sand, he found himself surrounded by crew members, who stood on the prepared stress-relief mats, staring at him in horror.

His appearance was truly frightening; he was covered in blood and barely recognizable as a human.

"Cut!!!" Director Miller roared, his voice trembling with tears.

Even now, he hasn't forgotten his duty: to ensure that the footage Lin Yuan risked his life to complete wouldn't be wasted.

Filming had ended, but the entire set was silent, with everyone's eyes focused on Lin Yuan.
There was shock, admiration, worry, elation, and heartache...

This was their first collaboration with Lin Yuan, and they never expected it would leave such an indelible mark on everyone's hearts in this way.

So this is how film industry legends are made—by risking their lives?
No one knows what Lin Yuan experienced underground in those few short minutes.

But everyone was certain that the danger and despair they faced were beyond their wildest imaginations.

"Medical team! Where the hell is the medical team?!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream shattered the silence.

Director Miller burst out from behind the monitor and sprinted toward the center of the set with a speed beyond his years, his leather shoes carving deep furrows in the sand.

He led the medical team and quickly arrived at Lin Yuan's side.

"Don't worry so much, it's just a minor scratch, it'll be fine in a bit," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

His smile, covered in blood, was somewhat frightening, and even Lin Yuan's handsome face couldn't pull it off.

"How could this be just a minor scratch? It must be thoroughly examined and treated; we absolutely cannot allow any problems to arise!" Director Miller shouted anxiously.

Lin Yuan could only helplessly give GAKKI a wink.

GAKKI, understanding immediately, stepped forward: "Let me handle this. Come on, let's step aside and check the injury and treat it right away."

Under the concerned gazes of everyone, Lin Yuan could only sit on the medical team's stretcher and prepare to go to the temporary ward for treatment.

Director Miller squatted beside Lin Yuan's stretcher, his reading glasses splattered with sand and blood.

"You madman..." His finger hovered above Lin Yuan's blood-soaked tactical uniform, not daring to fall: "In such a dangerous situation, a double should have been used..."

Lin Yuan grinned, revealing a terrifying smile through his chapped lips: "A stunt double? Isn't that just sending someone to their death? Besides me, who else can do these kinds of action scenes?"

As Lin Yuan answered, a murky tear slid down Director Miller's cheek, creating a tiny crater in the sand.

Those few minutes just now felt like an eternity to him.

He really couldn't imagine what he would do if an accident happened during filming and a cooked Lin Yuan was pulled out of the iron cage.
It's like the most bizarre story that such a dangerous situation would be faced by the world's richest man who has already achieved great success.

But when it happened to Lin Yuan, it seemed so perfectly natural:

All his fame was earned through his own life and hard work; he would never pass on such danger to any substitute.

"Director, let me go take care of my wound first. It only looks serious, but it's all superficial. Don't worry, I'll be back with you soon to continue filming," Lin Yuan said with a smile, reassuring you.

These words were not only spoken to director Miller, but also to the entire crew, to reassure them.

Lin Yuan's injuries were actually quite serious, but he couldn't let the crew know, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain how he recovered in such a short time.

Although the medical team's treatment can speed up his wound healing, the most important factor is his own healing ability.

Thanks to his stable condition and rapid recovery, Lin Yuan estimates that in 7 or 8 days, he will be able to film some scenes with less intense action while wearing bandages.

As Lin Yuan's stretcher left, thunderous applause erupted behind him.

The applause was accompanied by cheers from the crew.

The crew members are expressing their respect and love for their heroes in this way.

Everyone watched and followed the medical team until Lin Yuan entered the ward.

Upon entering the ward, Lin Yuan immediately said, "I know my body well. All I need is simple wound cleaning and bandaging."

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's request, the doctor did not question it at all, but immediately began to treat the wound according to Lin Yuan's instructions, with clear division of labor.

The medical team, like the action director, consisted of employees from Lin Yuan Film Studio.

Therefore, he could have the doctor treat the wound according to his own requirements, thus not revealing too much of the injury and keeping it a secret to the greatest extent possible.

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, but a line of golden text still appeared before him:
[Host completes S-level dangerous action scene, and obtains distributable attributes: 45 points.]

It's been a long time; this is Lin Yuan's third S-level action scene.

Perhaps I'm only one step away from achieving perfect attributes! (End of Chapter)
