Chapter 361: Millions Moved—This Is a People’s Hero!

The front of Wang Yun’s shoe had already split open.

Because of his excessive force, his toe had instinctively pushed forward due to inertia. With that push, his big toe directly touched the ground.

The ground’s temperature had already reached about sixty-five degrees Celsius.

At sixty-five degrees, placing raw meat on it would cook it in just five minutes. Likewise, in about thirty seconds, the flesh would start to change color. All the cells and fibers inside would be completely roasted.

“Tsss—!”

For the first time, Wang Yun let out a sound of pain.

At the same time, he lowered his head and looked at his toe. His big toe was already smoking.

Anyone with common sense knew this was the sign that meat was cooking. The white smoke rising was the moisture inside evaporating. Once the smoke disappeared and the color changed. That was when it would be fully cooked.

“Big Brother! Why are you still saving people?! Do you want to lose a foot?!”

“Fuck, I can’t watch anymore! He’s literally using his life to save these dumbasses!”

“Big Bro, hold on! This pain must be unbearable!”

“I broke a nail earlier and it hurt like hell. But he’s straight-up roasting his own flesh alive!”

“I’m crying! Where are the firefighters?! I can’t watch anymore!”

At that moment, everyone watching Wang Yun’s stream had red-rimmed eyes. The chat exploded even more intensely than before, with everyone shouting through their words, trying to express their emotions.

No one’s heart wasn’t clenched.

Wang Yun was just an ordinary participant in a show. Maybe he was luckier than most, maybe he was more capable.

He could have chosen to ignore everything. Survive just one more day, and he’d earn a twenty-million-yuan reward.

His net worth had already surpassed hundreds of millions.

But this was the kind of person he was.

When his subordinates were captured, he would set up traps, willing to exchange ten or more lives just to save them.

When his subordinates were in danger, he would risk his own life to ensure their safety.

When his subordinates were starving or struggling, he would sacrifice his own rest just to find them food.

This was the kind of person he was.

He could have been ruthless, decisive, and cruel like a true outlaw. But instead, he chose to give his heart and soul for his own people. And now, once again, he was trapped in a fire, using his own life to trade for the safety of six complete strangers.

At this moment, everyone had forgotten this was just a reality show.

Everyone watching felt like they were witnessing a documentary. And the name of this documentary was People’s Hero.

“Ah!”

A sudden shout pulled everyone back into the moment. The short-haired woman had successfully climbed up.

“Come up! Honey, hurry up!”

She didn’t even notice how pale the man who saved her was. Instead, she turned excitedly, waving at her boyfriend in the water.

Meanwhile, Wang Yun’s big toe, which had pressed against the scalding ground, was bleeding uncontrollably. It was as if a piece of meat had been forcibly ripped off a chopping board.

There’s a saying: the fingers are connected to the heart.

At this moment, beads of cold sweat formed on Wang Yun’s forehead from the pain.

“Hurry up, handsome! The water’s way too hot. Pull my boyfriend up too,” the short-haired woman urged anxiously after getting to safety.

Meanwhile, the blonde woman, seeing the short-haired woman successfully climb out, didn’t care about the scorching water anymore. She immediately rushed toward Wang Yun.

“He said girls first!”

As she spoke, she blocked the short-haired woman’s boyfriend.

But at that moment, Wang Yun said, “Men first.”

His voice was low and trembling slightly if one listened closely.

The blonde woman’s expression changed.

“What?! You just said girls first! Why are you going back on your word?! I’m a woman! My skin is delicate! I can’t take this heat anymore! Men have thicker skin! They can hold on longer!” Her sharp voice rang through the air.

Hearing this, the short-haired woman immediately snapped. She wasn’t backing down either. “You refused to go up earlier, and now you suddenly want to?! Too bad! Pull my boyfriend up first.”

Wang Yun had no time to listen to their arguing anymore. He immediately extended the tree branch into the water, right in front of the short-haired woman’s boyfriend.

“Get up. Now.”

The man didn’t hesitate. He grabbed the branch without a word.

The blonde woman immediately started screaming in frustration.

But Wang Yun didn’t care.

The short-haired woman had been light. Even then, he had already used up every ounce of his strength. Now, pulling up her boyfriend, who was nearly twice her weight, was going to take everything he had left.

Wang Yun clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms.

But it wasn’t just the weight.

It was because he was exhausted. He was in pain. His injured, bleeding big toe once again pressed down on the scorching hot ground.
