A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

The man's chest heaved rapidly, like a bellows: "My legs are stuck! The wheel chock is completely empty!"

"Know."

Chen Lang adjusted the angle of his heels, stabilized his left leg, and pressed his right shoulder against the back of the seat.

The muscle outlines of his two forearms bulged out beneath his soaked sleeves.

He exerted force forcefully, and a series of ear-piercing deformation sounds came from the junction of the metal column and the base.

"If your bones hurt, just yell."

"I can endure it..."

"Trying to hold it in will make you bite your tongue off! Just make a sound!"

Chen Lang increased the force of his ten fingers by another level, causing the veins on the back of his hands to bulge.

The man's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and the suppressed roar in his throat finally broke through his teeth.

"Crack—"

The two fixing clips were snapped off, and Chen Lang uprooted the bent steel frame.

The gaps in the pressure suddenly widened.

Chen Lang grabbed the man by the back of his neck and dragged him from the driver's seat toward the rear window like a sack of potatoes.

[Right rear rock structure collapses, 8 seconds remaining.]

"Lift your right leg!"

The man was covered in cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth as he bent his bloodied and mangled right leg.

Chen Lang pulled him out of the car, wrapped half of the seatbelt around his waist, tied the silver tow rope into a knot, and fastened it to the rear ring of the skateboard.

Large areas of the soil wall where the old anchor cables were rooted have peeled off.

Tons of red soil, carrying rocks, poured down into the bottomless valley.

The van completely lost its balance, and its heavy front flipped over outwards.

The man slumped on the skateboard, his eyes fixed on his car, which had been with him for many years, his lips trembling.

A hand pressed on the back of his head, forcibly turning his gaze.

"Stop looking."

Chen Lang's back blocked his way.

"Scratch my clothes!"

Behind them, a multi-ton van rolled over the broken logs and crashed into the valley floor.

The sound of the massive object crashing down echoed between the cliffs.

The muddy torrent completely swallowed the car body.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying crack appeared in the load-bearing rock platform beneath their feet.

"Straight-line sprint! The right side is completely collapsed!"

Shen Qingci's voice rose in extreme tension.

"Chen Lang, stay to the left!"

"Report the correct route."

"The six-meter-high retaining wall to the left front has not collapsed yet, but a mudslide will block the way in three seconds!"

Chen Lang pressed down on his back.

The all-terrain skateboard's four suspensions lift simultaneously, and the chassis power line jumps directly from cool blue to overloaded bright white.

The traction cable taut in mid-air, and the man's injured leg collided with Chen Lang's calf.

Hold on tight!

The skateboard cut through the mud and struggled against gravity to climb the slope.

A rock the size of a millstone slammed down from above to the right, grazing the heads of the two people and smashing through half of the concrete railing.

The second boulder followed closely behind, landing behind the tail of the board, splashing mud that smeared the rear wheels.

The deep valley crevice was just a stone's throw away.

Chen Lang slammed his toes on the tail of the board, violently lifting the front wheels.

The entire skateboard carried the weight of two adult men as it leaped through the air over a half-meter-wide fault gap.

While suspended in mid-air, the man's fingers slipped off the fabric at Chen Lang's waist due to the violent turbulence.

Chen Lang reacted quickly, grabbing him tightly by the back of the neck.

The bottom of the slab slammed hard onto the solid road shoulder slope.

The immense inertia propelled the two forward for seven or eight meters.

Chen Lang bent his knees and used his amazing lower body strength to forcefully dissipate the forward momentum.

The soles of the military boots carved a half-inch deep mud mark into the waterlogged asphalt road before coming to a steady stop.

"The person has been reunited!"

A gasp erupted from the crowd holding up the police tape.

Seven or eight burly men rushed up through the mud and water, and hurriedly lifted the exhausted man off the skateboard.

The woman, clutching her child, scrambled over to them.

The family of three, covered in mud, bumped into each other.

"thump."

The man, dragging his bloodied right leg, was just helped to his feet when he made a move to kneel in the mud.

His knees hadn't even touched the ground yet.

Chen Lang flicked his toes, causing the all-terrain skateboard to flip half a circle and land squarely under the man's knees.

"Save your energy to take care of your wife and children."

The man clung tightly to the slippery pavement with both hands.

Tears mixed with mud and sand, leaving two murky streaks on my face.

"Mr. Chen, my life..."

"Save your leg, and let your whole family be discharged safely. Then come and thank me."

The man's gaze swept over his still-shaken wife and her trembling son in her arms.

His nose stung, his lips were pressed tightly together, and he nodded with all his might.

Chen Lang withdrew his foot and stepped on the hidden mechanism at the bottom of the board.

The mechanical wheelset retracts, and the wide off-road board body is reassembled with a click, transforming back into a lightweight street skateboard.

The live broadcast sphere suspended in mid-air pierced through the rain curtain, the camera's focus fixed on that muddy yet upright figure.

In the earpiece, Shen Qingci's rapid, panicked breathing, which she had been trying to suppress, finally began to calm down.

"There are two nougat pieces left at the bar."

A cool, clear voice cut in, carrying a warmth that comes from surviving a catastrophe.

Chen Lang stepped onto the edge of the short plank with one foot: "Leave one for me."

"What about the other one?"

"You eat."

"I never eat sweets."

"This is for Navigator Shen, who will be officially hired in the future."

The communication channel was silent for two seconds.

Inside the living compartment of a heavy-duty truck.

Shen Qingci lowered her eyelashes, her gaze lingering on the sugar bag on the wooden bar counter.

She reached into the drawer, pulled out a silver-wrapped nougat.

Long, slender fingers tore open the tin foil.

She put the milky white sugar cube into her mouth.

The rich, milky sweetness melted in my mouth, covering the tight, bitter taste at the back of my tongue.

"Navigator Shen, who will be officially hired in the future, has already finished eating."

Outside the car window, Chen Lang was skillfully gliding through the gaps in the congested traffic, using his short plank as a springboard.

He raised the corner of his lips by half an inch.

"Then I'll have to eat what Teacher Shen is holding."

"there is none left."

"That's unreasonable, Teacher Shen! Frontline workers who risked their lives to save others can't even get a sweet treat?"

"Frontline personnel, please return to your vehicles."

The short plank rolled over the puddle.

"receive."

Chen Lang's tall figure moved among the cars that had stopped and were now stationary.

The pure black tactical jacket was covered with half-dried mud.

The congested crowd spontaneously moved to both sides, leaving a clear one-way street.

Countless raised mobile phone cameras followed the black short plank as it moved.

Inside the living compartment of a heavy-duty truck.

Shen Qingci stood quietly in front of the holographic projection screen.

The kraft paper notebook lay flat on the alloy center console.

Next to the escape route map that was originally half-drawn with a black pen, a silver nougat wrapper, peeled and laid flat, had appeared out of nowhere.

The central control panel is flashing, and a live report from the road management channel is interrupted:

A second major landslide occurred at kilometer marker 173+460 on the Yunlin Expressway.

All three injured people trapped have been safely rescued!

[Emergency access routes are being established. All stranded vehicles are requested to obey traffic control instructions.]

Shen Qingci lightly raised his knuckles, cutting off the holographic communication screen.

Through the thick bulletproof glass, her gaze was fixed on the approaching black figure in the rain.

She picked up the pen again.

On the blank edge of the journal page, I wrote down a new waypoint mark.

Press Enter.

The two simple words were placed beside the main road leading to Fenghuang Ancient Town.
