Chapter 107 (continued)

Shi Wen: "Okay, we understand. We have some things to do, talk to you later."

While they were on the phone, someone had already arranged for those of them who had come to help to work as assistants on a less dangerous second line.

Yan Kexing said to Shi Wen, "Go with them over there. I'm quite familiar with this mountain range; see if you can be of any help at the front."

Shi Wen immediately said, "I'll go too! With my physical abilities and reaction speed, I can be of greater use on the front lines."

Yan Kexing met his gaze, but he wouldn't budge. So Yan Kexing said, "Let's go together."

The person in charge of the firefighting recognized Yan Kexing: "Professor Yan!"

Yan Kexing said, "I'm very familiar with this place. Let me try joining the front line. This is Shi Wen; he's physically fit and has quick reflexes, so he can go to the front lines with me."

The person in charge clearly knew Yan Kexing's capabilities and didn't hesitate for a moment. "Then I'll trouble you. Xiao Zhou, quickly go and get two sets of protective suits for these two."

A young man nearby responded and ran over to get protective suits that fit their bodies.

Yan Kexing and the person in charge discussed the matter briefly while looking at the map.

Shi Wen, lacking relevant experience, didn't try to cause trouble but simply assisted the main players.

Shi Wen's strength was immense, far exceeding that of an average person.

He carried the heaviest equipment and still moved with incredible speed.

People around him kept looking at him and saying, "Dude, you're really something."

Shi Wen, wearing a helmet, smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.

Putting out fires is hard work. Shi Wen ran up and down the hills, and during the process, he identified many animal trails. Following the animal trails was the easiest way to go.

Yan Kexing and the person in charge were working on the plan in the back.

Soon, Yan Kexing also joined the firefighting team.

The wildfire was raging ahead, and with the help of the wind, it had devoured a lot of forest.

They Shi Wen rushing to put out the fire, but it was difficult to achieve any results.

The person in charge at the rear Yan Kexing quickly changed the plan and decided to cut out the isolation zone first.

Everyone rushed to cut grass and trees to create a firebreak before the fire reached their area.

The process of putting out the fire was extremely tiring.

At the Shi Wen's mind was full of various ideas, but later his mind became numb with exhaustion, and he just followed the main force forward, going wherever he was needed.

They worked until midnight, and the wildfire was finally almost completely extinguished.

Only a small fire and some smoke remain; just be careful not to reignite it.

Shi Wen we went down the mountain to rest with the main group.

The women who were helping with cooking at the outpost quickly brought them food.

The women were dressed in all sorts of clothes—some with headscarves, some without, some in long skirts, some in T-shirts... Clearly, they came from all over, yet they all came to help with great enthusiasm.

Shi Wen had been starving for most of the day and was now too hungry to eat anything. He only managed to drink a little egg drop soup.

The people around me did the same; they sat down on the spot with their helmets, finished their soup, and lay down, snoring away in waves.

A cool mountain breeze blew by, and the smoke from the embers billowed in their direction, while the sky above was filled with brilliant stars.

Shi Wen even sitting in a crowd, I don't feel cold at all.

The wildfire scorched his skin, but the burning emotion in his heart made him feel no cold at all.

He was wearing protective clothing, his phone was inside, and he had nothing in his hands, so he couldn't contact Yan Kexing.

Despite being completely exhausted and so sleepy that he wanted to collapse and lie down anywhere, he persisted, trying to find Yan Kexing's figure.

Not knowing whether Yan Kexing was still busy, he didn't go out to look for him.

People were sleeping all around, and in the distance, a steady stream of people were carrying towels and water up the mountain to check the areas where the wildfire had been extinguished, in case there were still sparks that could reignite it.

There were lights and voices everywhere.

A young man noticed that Shi Wen was sitting in the crowd without sleeping, so he ran over and stuffed two large slices of watermelon into his hands, insisting that he eat them.

I don't know how this young man brought the watermelon here, but it's so nice to be able to eat a sweet watermelon at this time of year.

Shi Wen a lot of relief from the dryness in my throat caused by the fire.

Today was so tiring. Shi Wen out the fire, I was wearing heavy protective clothing and carrying heavy equipment, and I ran back and forth so many times. My physical strength was already exhausted.

Now that he was full, sleepiness washed over him, and he hugged his knees and fell asleep without realizing it.

He didn't know how long he had slept when he felt someone gently touch his cheek.

He suddenly woke up, only to see Yan Kexing's eyes.

Yan Kexing smiled at him, and when no one was paying attention, he leaned in and gave him a light kiss.

The kiss was fleeting, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

My ears Shi Wen a little hot, but my eyes were incredibly bright.

He grabbed Yan Kexing's wrist. "Where did you go in the middle of the night? Did you rest?"

Yan Kexing: "I took a short nap at the command center. The wildfire is out, and someone will handle the cleanup. Let's go back."

Shi Wen nodded. "Okay."

They went to change their clothes first.

There weren't many people at the temporary changing area, except for one young man.

Seeing that they had changed their clothes and were about to leave, the young man called out to them, "Professor Yan, Shi Wen, why don't you wait a bit before going back? There will be a celebration banquet afterwards."

Yan Kexing, "We won't attend the celebration banquet; we still have work to do. Let's go take care of it first."

Shi Wen wasn't quite used to participating in these things either, so he said, "We still have livestock at home; we need to go back and check on them."

The young man couldn't very well keep them, so he said, "Then I'll go and report it."

Yan Kexing smiled and said, "I've already left a message for your leader, there's no need to repeat it."

They said goodbye to the young man, walked to the perimeter of the command base, and drove back.

Shi Wen suspected that Yan Kexing hadn't slept at all last night, and not feeling comfortable letting him drive, so he volunteered to drive instead.
