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

The midday sky was swallowed up by dark clouds, leaving not a single ray of light.

The torrential rain pounded against the windshield like water being poured, and even with the wipers on their highest setting, it could only barely provide a half-second of visibility.

On the right is a sheer cliff thousands of meters deep, and on the left is a steep mountain wall. The heavy truck steadily navigates the curves on this winding mountain road.

Suddenly, a bright red light flashed in the cockpit, and the piercing alarm completely drowned out the sound of thunder and rain outside.

Titan's mechanical voice spoke at an extremely fast pace.

"Level 1 Red Alert! A massive landslide has occurred 800 meters ahead, and a mudslide has formed!"

A deafening roar, like a muffled thunderclap, exploded overhead, shaking the entire mountain.

Chen Lang lifted his eyelids and glanced at the radar.

On the screen, the green lines representing the mountain structure are collapsing on a large scale and are being rapidly swallowed up by the glaring red area.

"A series of landslides have occurred two kilometers behind, completely cutting off the road!" Titan's data is updating rapidly: "The main wave of the mudslide is expected to reach the current location in eleven seconds!"

The road ahead is blocked, and the way back is also sealed off.

The heavy truck was completely stuck on this winding mountain road, which was less than 200 meters long.

Instead of stepping on the brakes, Chen Lang floored the accelerator and swerved the steering wheel to the left with both hands.

The 52-ton heavy truck emitted a piercing screech on the slippery road.

The massive front of the car cut an extremely tricky angle on the narrow road, causing the entire vehicle to drift laterally and precisely throw itself into a natural depression in the rock formation on the left side of the mountain wall.

"Titan, chassis hydraulics fully locked, armor protection at maximum, lower gravity anchor point."

Chen Lang's tone remained calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

"Received. The chassis has sunk 12 centimeters, the four-axle differential lock has engaged, and the hydraulic parking system is locked."

A dull mechanical grinding sound came from under the vehicle.

The heavy truck chassis slammed down, and the eight wide-body off-road tires gripped the ground tightly.

The bulletproof armor plates on all sides were lowered in unison, completely sealing off all the windows, and the entire vehicle instantly became a solid steel nail driven into the cliff face.

A loud bang.

The main peak of the mudslide was captured in a photograph.

Thousands of tons of mud, carrying boulders and broken trees, poured down from above the bend.

The mud slammed heavily onto the side armor of the heavy truck, causing the truck bed to shake violently.

Even with excellent sound insulation, the harsh, teeth-grinding sound of boulders hitting metal outside still reached the cockpit.

Shen Qingci was tightly strapped to the passenger seat by a four-point seatbelt.

Her face was deathly pale, and her fingers dug deep wrinkles into the edge of the leather seat.

But she didn't say a word, she just turned her head to look at Chen Lang.

Chen Lang had already released the steering wheel, his hands casually resting on his lap.

Noticing the gaze, he turned his head and met Shen Qingci's eyes, which were trying to remain calm, and a lazy smile appeared on his lips.

Chen Lang spoke.

"What are you afraid of? I told you, you won't lose a single hair in this car."

Seeing his utterly irresponsible attitude, as if he could use the sky as a blanket even if it fell, Shen Qingci's nerves, which were taut to the point of breaking, miraculously relaxed.

She bit her pale lips and nodded gently.

The mudslide outside was still crashing down, and the heavy truck chassis was bearing tremendous lateral impact, making a creaking sound as it resisted the pressure, but the truck body remained completely still.

The floating live streaming ball automatically rose into the air, switched to infrared high-definition mode, and transmitted the image into the live streaming room through the rain curtain.

The number of online users instantly exceeded 300,000.

Holy crap! We've really encountered a mudslide!

[Brother Lang's maneuvering was incredible! He squeezed the car into a blind spot and braved nature's force?]

What material is this car made of that it doesn't even budge when hit by tens of tons of rocks?

A few minutes later, the impact of the first wave of mud weakened slightly.

Chen Lang swiped open the panoramic monitor on the center console with one hand.

"Titan, switch to the front view and see if those monkeys have successfully reincarnated."

The screen flickered.

One hundred meters ahead, the three flimsy supercars from the Viper Club were in a terrible state.

The Ferrari leading the way completely lost traction under the impact of the mudslide, and its four wheels spun wildly in the mud and water.

The muddy waves pushed it sideways, and with a loud bang, the Ferrari crashed headfirst into the right-side guardrail.

The carbon fiber body was shattered on the ground, with half of the front of the car hanging in mid-air, below which was a bottomless cliff.

The Lamborghini behind tried to brake, but lost control in the mud, spun around, and crashed into the mountainside, its hood popping up and emitting black smoke.

The last McLaren was the unluckiest, as it was hit on the roof by a tree trunk that was uprooted, and its windshield shattered into a spiderweb pattern.

The driver's side door of the Ferrari was deformed and jammed.

The rich kid with the buzz cut, his face covered in blood, was frantically smashing the wreckage of the car window with his elbow in terror.

The live broadcast's microphone accurately captured his distorted howl.

"Help! Help! I'll give you two million! Someone help me!"

The internet celebrity in the passenger seat had been crying so much that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.

The live stream room instantly became a carnival for the people having fun.

Retribution came swiftly, like a tornado!

[Weren't you just showing off? Keep cutting me off, God's taught you a lesson!]

[A cheap sports car went into the mountains and dared to mess with a big truck—serves it right!]

Chen Lang leaned back in his chair, staring at the screen without a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

Just as he was about to have Titan reassess the route, the alarm suddenly went off again.

"Sir, high-risk target detected."

"A heat source signal from a large passenger bus has been detected 150 meters to the right front of this vehicle. The target vehicle is severely damaged and is in an extremely dangerous state."

Chen Lang raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Zoom in."

The levitating live-streaming sphere quickly rose higher, flying forward despite the raging wind and rain, transmitting high-definition images back to the large screen in real time.

In the center of the picture, a yellow school bus stands out conspicuously.

The vehicle skidded severely under the impact of the mud, crashing directly into and breaking the outer guardrail.

The front of the school bus is now stuck between the guardrail base and a boulder, but a full third of the rear of the bus is hanging over the edge of the cliff.

Mudslides continued to flow down the mountainside, washing over the undercarriage of the school bus.

It was visibly that the school bus's center of gravity was gradually shifting backward, and the suspended rear wheels were still spinning helplessly in mid-air.

Most of the train car windows were shattered, and rainwater was pouring in.

The microphone of the live broadcast ball clearly transmitted the sounds from inside the truck to the truck's audio system.

All I could hear were children crying and screaming.

"Mommy...I want my mommy..."

"Help!"

A group of elementary school students in school uniforms huddled together in the tilted carriage, crying and clutching whatever they could hold onto.

The driver in the front seat was slumped over the steering wheel, his head covered in blood, and he was motionless.

The live stream chat froze for two seconds, then exploded.

Holy crap! A school bus! A bus full of kids!

The car is about to fall! Call the police!

[What's the point of calling the police? The roads are all blocked! Even helicopters can't get here in this weather!]

Shen Qingci's body stiffened instantly, her fingernails unconsciously digging into the nylon fabric of the seatbelt.

She turned to look at Chen Lang, a hint of struggle appearing in her previously lifeless eyes, her lips moved but no sound came out.

Chen Lang stared at the screen, his previously casual expression completely gone.

"Titan, perform structural stress analysis."

A 3D model of the school bus was instantly constructed on the screen, with red force arrows flashing wildly at the point where the chassis and the boulder came into contact.

"The target vehicle is tilted at a 12-degree angle, and the foundation continues to loosen."

"The movement of people inside the vehicle is accelerating the shift in the center of gravity."

"The chassis has reached its limit of pressure; the estimated time for the fall off the cliff is 90 seconds."

Ninety seconds.

Chen Lang's gaze swept over the mess that stretched 150 meters ahead.

The ground was covered in knee-deep mud, with a cliff face on the left that could collapse at any moment and a precipice on the right.

His skill set now does indeed include "god-level parkour".

But in a place like this, where it's all mud and there's not a solid foothold, parkour is impossible to perform, let alone do anything big on a broken car that could fall off at any moment.

What he needs now is specialized rescue rope techniques and extreme rock climbing.

A pale blue system panel popped up automatically in front of my retina.

[An extreme rescue scenario has been detected.]

Current reputation points: 385,400.

[Would you like to spend 150,000 reputation points to exchange for the permanent skill: "Extreme Climbing and Special Rope Rescue Specialization"?]

"exchange."

[Skill already bound.]

Countless knot-tying techniques and knowledge of rock wall stress assessment were instantly etched into my mind.

Chen Lang unbuckled his seatbelt.

He yanked open the locker, pulled out two military-grade Kevlar static ropes, grabbed a few buckles and ascenders, and quickly attached them to his tactical belt.

A cold hand suddenly gripped his wrist.

The force was so great that his knuckles turned white.

Shen Qingci stared at him intently, her usually lifeless eyes now churning with some indescribable emotion.

"Ninety seconds, mudslide, cliff, gale force 8." She spoke extremely fast, like a cold, precise instrument reciting data. "Survival rate is infinitely close to zero. You're going to your death."

She paused for a moment, then tightened her grip even more.

Don't go.

There was a moment of silence in the cockpit.

Chen Lang looked down at the pale hand on his wrist.

He reached out his other hand and covered her with it, prying open her cold fingers one by one.

Then he casually grabbed a dry towel and threw it on her head, rubbing it haphazardly through the towel.

"You're pretty quick at calculating scores, no wonder you're a top student." Chen Lang bent over, his bangs obscuring his eyes and eyebrows, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips. "But you're not good at fortune telling, even God might not dare to take me away."

He straightened up and fastened the last buckle to his belt with a "click".

The cries of children filled the car through the speakers.

As Chen Lang looked at the teetering school bus on the big screen, the carefree look in his eyes finally vanished, leaving only a kind of unsettling composure.

"Stay in the car and let me go do some good deeds."

Shen Qingci's fingers curled up on her knees, her nails digging into her palms.

She looked at the man in front of her, but didn't say anything.

Chen Lang picked up the tactical window-breaking hammer and turned to look at the center console.

"Titan, remove the right-side door armor and prepare to activate the side hydraulic winch."

"Sir, the external wind force is level 8, and the probability of a secondary landslide is 74%. The survival rate is extremely low if you leave the fortress."

"Execute the command."
