Daxia, Jin City.
A full-terrain Si Yao troop carrier was roaring its engine, speeding towards the Devil Disaster zone.
Inside the vehicle, Ren Jie, dressed in an orange-yellow fire suit and carrying over 20 kilograms of equipment, sat at the rear.
The faces of the intern Si Yao Officials in the vehicle were filled with tension and solemnity!
"♬Baby, what are you doing~ mua~ Are you there~ Are you asleep~ Baby, what are you doing~ Why haven't you replied~"
The sudden ringtone broke the heavy atmosphere in the vehicle.
Ren Jie's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled out his phone, whose screen was shattered like a spiderweb.
ᕦ(˵¯͒ ꇴ ¯͒) "Hello? If you need something, find Ren Jie, he can definitely solve it. What is it, dear?"
Everyone's gaze was drawn to Ren Jie, their eyes twitching...
What kind of ghost ringtone was that?
"Be a tutor for a child? Sure, why not. My college entrance exam results just came out, out of a perfect score of 750, I got 745. This year's Jin City top scorer is me, if you don't believe me, go check!"
Now the people in the vehicle couldn't stay calm!
Are you kidding me?
With a total score of 745 on the college entrance exam, you're not going to college, but coming to the Si Yao Hall youth training team to risk your life?
Are you crazy?
Lin Huairen curled his lip:
(￢︵￢) "He's probably bragging, right?"
Tian Yu's mouth twitched as he looked at Dou Niang Baike:
"It really is Brother Jie... Hiss~"
Lin Huairen looked displeased: "Who in District 69 doesn't know Ren Jie's name? The strongest part-time job prince, as long as there's money, he'll do anything except things on the criminal code!"
"He once held 27 part-time jobs simultaneously. I even saw him in the male dancer group at Red Romance KTV, and he was even the lead dancer!"
Everyone's mouths twitched as they listened. Good heavens, working 27 jobs simultaneously in one day?
Where did he get so much time?
A Great Master of time management?
However, Ren Jie completely ignored the concentrated gazes. As soon as he hung up, another call came in.
Ren Jie was even happier and quickly answered.
ᕦ(˵ ⁼̴ ꇴ ⁼̴) "Hello? Little Cai? Can't handle fifty or sixty old ladies? Alright, alright, tell them to wait, I'll be there as soon as I'm done here!"
Now everyone was bewildered. What the heck?
Tian Yu's face was full of confusion:
( ° △ °|||) "The KTV manager called you to dance? I'm not saying this, Brother Jie, but you're taking this kind of job too? Those old ladies have quite the discerning taste, huh?"
Ren Jie rolled his eyes: "What kind of dance am I dancing? The old ladies are doing square dancing and have occupied the basketball court. No matter how much we persuade them, they won't leave. The basketball team called me to clear the area. Don't look at me like this, I'm the strongest quarrel king in District 69. Since my debut, from Jin City Nursing Home to Nanshan Kindergarten, I've met no match. For two hundred yuan, I can scold all the old ladies away. For five hundred, I can scold all night!"
As soon as he said this, Tian Yu dropped with a thud, directly kneeling down, grasping Ren Jie's large hand with a solemn expression.
▄█▀█● "Great Master, please scold~ Bah! Please help scold away the walking group downstairs, I've suffered from those old ladies for too long!"
"Brother Jie! Are you still taking orders? I argued with a troll in my comment section all night and didn't win!"
"My mom keeps urging me to find a partner, can I trouble you to go to my house and scold my mom until she runs away from home?"
Ren Jie's mouth twitched. You little clever one, you're quite filial, aren't you?
Wei Pingsheng, sitting in the main seat of the vehicle, couldn't bear it any longer. He lightly coughed twice, and the team members in the vehicle immediately sat up straight!
And Wei Pingsheng's eyes, as he looked at Ren Jie, were full of helplessness!
Wei Pingsheng knew a bit about his family's situation. It was tough on this child...
"The Devil Disaster site will be reached soon. Form up, check equipment!"
Wei Pingsheng's left mechanical eye glowed red as he scanned the entire area.
"Repeat the mission objective!"
"Seal off the site, evacuate the public, rescue and transfer trapped civilians, and cooperate with the Demon Suppression Division to suppress the demons, minimizing casualties and losses!" Everyone answered in unison.
Wei Pingsheng narrowed his eyes: "Very good! You are all intern members, and I know that most of you signed up to participate in order to get a chance to inject the Spiritual Awakening Gene Agent after becoming full members!"
"Your performance in outdoor missions will also be recorded in your assessment scores. The more people you rescue, the greater your chance of becoming a full member!"
"But also remember this! The premise of saving people is to protect yourselves. Those who cannot protect themselves cannot protect anything!"
"Also! Don't confront demons directly, unless you want to die. Hunting demons is the Demon Suppression Division's business, don't be a busybody!"
"Remember everything I taught you!"
In the vehicle, loud responses echoed!
"Yes! Instructor!"
The troop carrier drifted to a sudden stop, and the team members leaped out.
But as soon as they got out of the vehicle, they were stunned by the scene before them.
The entire Han Hai Dragon City residential area was ablaze. Countless Si Yao Officials in orange-yellow uniforms were busy at the scene, setting up police lines to seal off the area and assisting civilians.
People were constantly being carried out of the Devil Disaster site, some with severe burns, broken arms and legs, covered in blood...
One could even faintly hear demon roars and the clash of weapons, deafening.
The night sky was illuminated by the firelight. The full moon hung high, but there was no moonlight.
It had been two hundred years since the Spiritual Qi's resurgence on Blue Star. After the Great Cataclysm and the racial wars, human civilization was once shattered, but it also rose from the ruins.
However, humanity also lost the ocean, the sky... and even the moon.
To this day, Devil Disasters remain the primary threat to public safety.
Wei Pingsheng couldn't help but stare at this scene!
"What is the Demon Suppression Division doing? A third-tier Lava Giant Demon hasn't been dealt with yet?"
His original intention in bringing this group of intern members was for them to clean up, but who knew the Devil Disaster had developed to such a tricky extent.
Someone immediately reported: "Team Wei, the Demon Suppression Division is short-staffed. Most of them have gone to perform demon-clearing missions outside the city. Reinforcements will take a while to arrive."
"Tsk~ Why choose this time? Then who is fighting the demon?"
"It seems to be a young girl from the Demon Hunter Academy. She is one of the God-favored Ones!"
Wei Pingsheng gritted his teeth, hoping she could hold on, then looked back at the intern members.
"What are you standing there for? All of you, follow me into the fire to save people!"
However, the intern members' legs were trembling with fear at this moment. They were all in their teens and twenties, and had never seen anything like this before?
Just standing outside the cordon, the heatwave rushing towards them was already stinging their faces!
Do we really have to rush in?
What if we die?
At this moment, a Si Yao Official, charred black from the smoke, rushed out of the burning building with a woman on his back!
The woman was covered in blood, but she disregarded her injuries, struggling constantly!
"Please! Save my child, he's still in the building, he hasn't come out yet, he's still small!"
However, the Si Yao Official's sweat-soaked face was full of difficulty:
"I'm sorry, mother, I understand how you feel, but the fire in Building 27 is already out of control. The building structure is unstable, and it no longer meets the conditions for rescue!"
The mother cried out in despair, staring fixedly at the burning building, desperately trying to rush back:
"Let go of me! Please, let go of me, I want to go back and save him! That's my child!"
However, all the Si Yao Official could do was hold the mother tightly...
Such scenes were common at the Devil Disaster site!
Ren Jie averted his gaze from the mother, silently put on his breathing mask, pulled out a fire axe and a crowbar, and held them in his hands!
He strode quickly towards the burning Building 27!
Tian Yu's eyes widened: "Brother Jie? What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of death? We're just interns!"
Ren Jie didn't look back, raising the fire axe in his hand, and declared proudly:
"I know it's dangerous, but some things always need to be done. We are Si Yao Officials, those who carry the burden forward!"
"Live as Ren Jie, die as a ghost hero!"
"This world... needs heroes!"
Looking at Ren Jie's back as he rushed into the sea of fire, Tian Yu and the others felt a lump in their throats, even a little moved!
Lin Huairen even felt a bit ashamed!
However, after only two steps, Ren Jie suddenly stopped and looked back at Wei Pingsheng!
"Uncle Wei, just to be safe, let me confirm. According to Chapter 2, Article 13 of the Si Yao Hall regulations, successfully rescuing civilians during a Devil Disaster earns a reward of two hundred per person, and the bonus can be stacked with no upper limit. This rule also applies to intern members, right?"
Wei Pingsheng was stunned for a moment: "It is..."
Ren Jie's eyes narrowed, and he turned back, rushing directly towards Building 27, roaring:
"I'm coming~"
"I'm definitely going to be this hero!"
Then he plunged headfirst into the sea of fire!
Tian Yu and the others' faces were full of black lines at this moment!
What kind of hero, hey, you're purely doing it for those two hundred yuan, aren't you? Does it have to be so obvious?
Two hundred yuan for saving one person? What kind of life are you risking for that?
