Chapter 378: Deity? Demon?

Clack, clack, clack!Under Ye Lingchen’s stupefied gaze, the driver shifted gears like a madman, then pressed a button in the car. The louder roar of the car’s engine could be heard clearly and the entire car began to shake.

The taxi sped up on the road and flew past in a blur!

Zoom—

A skillful drift left behind a cloud of dust and stunned the other road users.

“My little friend, don’t be scared. To tell you the truth, I was Mount Akina’s Racing King! This car hasn’t shown its true colors for quite some.” There was a hint of sentimentalism in the driver’s eyes. His eyes were distant and he seemed to be missing it.

“Human life is beyond value. If I can save even one person, then I’ll do so,” the driver uncle said compassionately.

“Uncle, do you know how to swim?” Ye Lingchen could not help but ask.

“Hehe, swimming?” The uncle’s eyes reminisced even deeper. “Truthfully speaking, I was the school swimming champion when I was in sixth grade of elementary school.”

…

It had to be admitted that the uncle’s driving skills were top-notch. Faced with congested roads, he always managed to spot empty spaces and zoom right through them. His driving speed was not slow either, and all that could be seen was the roadside cars left far behind one after another. Barely five minutes later, he had already reached Longyou Lake.

At that point, the splashing water could be seen even from the inside of the taxi. Everyone was crying for help in the lake and they flailed about in the water. Their voices calling out for help could vaguely be heard from the lake.

After a rough assessment of the situation, the area where they fell into the water was less than one kilometer from the shore. It was not too far away, but it could not be considered close either.

“My little friend, I shall go now!”

With a solemn expression on his face and a sense of being duty-bound, the driver uncle opened the car door at once and ran toward Longyou Lake.

Ye Lingchen opened the car door as well and got out of the car.

By then, many people had gathered around the lake. Each one of them looked anxiously at the lake, and plenty of them shouted to those around them, asking whoever that knew how to swim to do their part. Others were actively thinking about how to make the rescue.

Few people knew how to swim, and the place where the victims fell into the water were some distance away. Even if there were anyone who could swim, they felt unsure of themselves and did not dare to jump, let alone save those people.

Huhuhu!

At that moment, a couple of electric bicycles came swiftly. On each of them were people dressed in yellow clothes, with a kangaroo icon printed on them. They rushed over at lightning speed

Aside from them, three-wheeled freight trucks also came quickly soon after and stopped by the lake.

In addition, there were many taxis coming too.

“Oh my god, it’s the almighty Meituan Delivery riders! Do your best, brothers!”

“Rider brothers are here too! Do they know how to swim?”

“So many taxi drivers, the greatest of our country’s three hidden professions are here!”

“Such strong characters, hidden in those three major professions! Not bad!”

…

Chatter!

Shouts of exclamation sounded one after another. Under everyone’s close attention, those individuals executed extremely perfect diving postures and jumped into the water one after another. Each person swam wildly toward those who fell into the water.

Amazing! Absolutely stunning!

Ye Lingchen looked at the group of people and could not help but gasp. They deserved to be recognized as the greatest among the common folk in the three hidden professions.

However, they still fell short in trying to snatch away his popularity!

At that time, many people saw light at the end of the tunnel when those people dived, but they soon discovered a problem.

“No, it’s too far and it’s against the current. Their physical strength can’t keep up!”

“It’s over, the rider boys are putting their life at stake.”

“There are too many people falling into the water. It is impossible to save them. Those who attempt to rescue might even be dragged with the water.”

“There are already some people over there who can’t bear it anymore. It looks like they’re going to sink soon!”

“Why hasn’t the country sent anyone here to rescue? Time waits for no one!”

…

Those on the shore were anxious and they were constantly analyzing the situation.

Tap-tap-tap!

At that moment, a rush of footsteps was picked up by everyone’s ears.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. They looked at the sound, and at first glance, they stared in that direction to the point where their own eyes nearly popped out.

“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”

“Goodness me! Is that a Deity? Or a Demon?”

“It’s over, it’s over! I might die soon. Why am I having such a ridiculous hallucination!”

“Walking on water! He’s walking on water! What the f*ck!”

“Superman Y! Superman Y is here! He’s really Superman! He’s so handsome!”

“God, you made a mistake. This is a city. How could You have come up with some martial arts fantasy?”

…

Despite the initial anxiety, everyone forgot everything in an instant. All their attention was focused on Ye Lingchen—their brains turned blank and they forgot how to think.

The driver uncle who originally chauffeuring Ye Lingchen swam forward frantically using a standard dog-paddle technique. It was only after he dived into the water that he discovered his oversimplification of the situation.

It was autumn, so the water temperature was ice-cold. His entire body was trembling when he fell into the water and he was swimming against the current, which consumed a lot of power. Whether or not he could swim there was another matter altogether, and even if he did, it was also very difficult to save someone and return to shore. Furthermore, he had to ensure that his legs did not suffer from cramps.

He heard shouts from the shore and wondered to himself, as he had no idea what was going on.

However, the next moment—

Tap-tap-tap!

The rapid sound of water waves came from behind him, and a figure swiftly came to his side. The water waves resulting from the steps splashed his face directly.

“F*ck!”

The uncle was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. He took a few big gulps of water to finally stabilize his figure.

The others were not in a much better condition either. Those courier brothers and Meituan brothers were nearly blinded by the sight. Some of those who had a weaker psyche sank directly into the water and it took a long time for them to resurface.

Tap-tap-tap!

Ye Lingchen wore his mask and walked on the waves. His speed was faster than that of ordinary people running on flat ground. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the area where those people fell into the water, and with a glance, he identified two victims who had reached the limit. With one in each hand, he lifted them and ran back!

Even when carrying two people, he did not slow down at all.

The uncle stared blankly at Ye Lingchen, who was dashing back quickly, and momentarily forgot to dodge. The water splashed all over his face again.

“Superman Y! It’s really Superman! Ah, ah, ahh…”

“That’s amazing! Superman Y, please accept me as a disciple! My only dream is to save the world!”

“He’s turned into an immortal! He truly turned into an immortal! Can any scientist come out and explain, whether this is scientific?”

…

Back on the shore, everyone went crazy as they saw Ye Lingchen approaching. Some even knelt to show their piety.

After putting the two victims down, Ye Lingchen did not slow down. He turned around and continued to head toward the lake.

His clothes fluttered and it was like he left everyone else in the dust. The crowd looked at his figure and could not help their amazement.

Those who had come from every direction were also stunned. They never imagined seeing such a formidable scene after they rushed over to try and save some lives…
