"Is the task completed already?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, not expecting the task to be completed at this time.
He then realized that the saying "none can be left behind" referred to this matter.
Yet the system’s reward left him a bit baffled.
"Ionization crystal?" Lin Yi muttered, "What is this thing?"
[The specific use is up to the host to explore.]
"Damn it!"
After cursing, Lin Yi sat on a rock, ready to eat something to replenish his energy.
Even though it was already very late, volunteers still came over to bring them food.
Looking at the big fire on the mountain, Lin Yi’s expression was exceptionally calm.
Firefighter’s job completion rate had been achieved, but the wildfire needed continuous fighting.
"Don’t stop me, I’m fine."
At this moment, a shout came, and Lin Yi saw a middle-aged man whom he had just rescued, stumbling and rushing toward him.
Then with a thud, the man knelt before him.
"What’s going on?"
"Young man, thank you."
The person in charge of the substation said, tears streaming down his face:
"If it weren’t for you, I would have been doomed, my family too. Thank you for saving my life."
"I was only doing what I should, don’t worry about it," Lin Yi said:
"I understand your dilemma. I was impulsive at first."
"No, no, you did the right thing."
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, tearfully kowtowing several times, before the Changning Road Branch lifted him up.
This scene also made Sun Wen and others more indignant.
They thought Lin Yi took all the credit for himself.
After the middle-aged man left, Lin Yi quietly ate his food.
Suddenly, he realized that this was the myriad forms of life.
The man’s situation was the most genuine state of living.
In contrast, his own life seemed somewhat unreal.
The wildfire continued, with many heading uphill despite the dangers, the sky ablaze.
No one knew when the fire would end.
"Hey, that person looks familiar, sort of like the wife."
Hearing his colleague say that, Sun Wen glanced in the direction and soon smiled as he said:
"Guys, let’s eat."
The approaching woman wore tight jeans and sneakers, her appearance decent, holding a dozen food boxes in her hands.
Behind her, two others carried foam boxes, heading towards Sun Wen.
"Brother Wen, impressive, the wife personally delivers food."
"That’s nothing. With such a big job, we must eat well."
"Haha... Thanks, Brother Wen, benefiting from you today. I honestly can’t stomach more bread and ham."
"Enough talk, come have some food."
Sun Wen took the lead in opening the food boxes, causing his colleagues around him to salivate.
"This roasted pork knuckle looks so appetizing."
"Today we brought all meat options, eat more beef and lamb, they’re great for energy."
"Alright."
Watching Sun Wen and others chow down heartily.
The surrounding branches’ members were visibly envious and glanced at their own ham and bread, losing appetite instantly.
"Okay, stop staring, just eat your own food, we still have work to do later," Zhou Yi said.
Finishing his words, he took a bite of his dry bread, which tasted bland.
"Ugh, what’s the show?" Xu Chunyu muttered:
"If we were in Zhong Hai, maybe Lin Bro would have others delivering food to him too."
"You can’t compare. The wife delivers to them, while Lin Bro is acquainted with many rich women. That’s different," Liu Qingfeng said.
