Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 568: A shocking explosion, rebirth from the ashes!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the flame retardant bomb exploded just south of the fire tornado.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Four flame-retardant bombs exploded in succession.

It was obvious that Meng Tao was anxious this time. He left no room for maneuver and fired four flame-retardant bombs in succession.

If it hadn't reached saturation and more flame retardant bombs hadn't been effective, Meng Tao would probably have continued to increase the amount used.

The strong air wave caused by the bomb explosion spread violently, blowing away a large amount of combustible materials such as dead branches and leaves, and the raised sand covered the burning flames. All of this helped to isolate the contact between the flames and the burning materials, thereby reducing the intensity of the fire.

At the same time, the high temperature generated by the explosion of the flame retardant bomb can instantly evaporate the surrounding air, causing the local airflow to heat up rapidly, further aggravating the lack of airflow in the south of the fire tornado.

Although four small flame-retardant bombs are like a drop in the bucket for a wildfire of this scale and cannot destroy the fire tornado, they are obviously enough to break the current balance.

As the southern airflow dropped sharply, the fire tornado began to inevitably tilt toward the south.

Under the influence of the Earth's rotational force, once a cyclone tilts, it will tilt further at a faster speed.

Meng Tao stared at the towering fire tornado, which had gradually transformed from a giant pillar into the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Obviously, his goal was achieved.

But at this moment, Meng Tao did not show any joy. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of anxiety.

In about 20 seconds, the fire tornado will hit the valley and woods in the south.

Under normal circumstances, there would be a large number of trees there, which was exactly the dense forest landscape that he and Lin Yuan expected.

But now it has become the most dangerous place of death!
The forest in the south had caught fire before, but the fire was extinguished because the terrain of the valley in the south was quite closed, forming a semi-closed environment. Therefore, after the oxygen inside was burned out, the fire naturally went out.

But the extinguishing of forest fires in the south does not mean that the country is safe. Instead, it has become even more dangerous.

In previous wildfires, large amounts of flammable materials such as fallen leaves, shrubs, and humus were ignited.

These flammable materials are melted and cracked during the combustion process.

Combustible materials contain carbon, which will break down into carbon particles, and incomplete combustion will also produce carbon monoxide.

The solid carbon particles then mix with the gaseous carbon monoxide to produce billowing black smoke.

These billowing black smoke enveloped the entire valley, and the temperature exceeded the ignition point of carbon monoxide (609 degrees).

The reason why it doesn't burn is simply because of lack of oxygen.

What’s even more terrifying is that these high-temperature carbon particles suspended in the air are like a barrel of explosives that may explode at any time.

Everyone knows that in a confined space filled with flour, all it takes is a spark to cause a terrible explosion.

The high-temperature carbon particles in the southern forest don't even need Mars. As long as a little oxygen is injected, they can immediately burst out with unparalleled power!

This phenomenon is known as "deflagration" in the fire protection field.

It is also one of the most dangerous killers that has caused the unfortunate deaths of countless firefighters.

Sometimes when a fire is burning in a room, firefighters will find that the flames have been extinguished and there is only smoke but no fire in the room.

But if you open the doors and windows to check, oxygen will enter, and there will be a high-temperature mixed gas inside. It will explode instantly, releasing a powerful shock wave and flames.

Therefore, the best way to deal with a deflagration is not to destroy the oxygen-deficient environment, but to spray water to cool it down first. Once the temperature drops, injecting oxygen will no longer be dangerous.

But it is obvious that the southern forests at this moment do not have the conditions for cooling down, and it is definitely too late to cool down.

Wildfires occur in valleys and have always been the most dangerous killer.

At this moment, once the fire tornado hits the southern valley, it will bring in a large amount of oxygen.

Then the conditions for explosion are immediately met. Meng Tao can guarantee that this will definitely be an explosion of astonishing power!
He couldn't estimate how much energy would be released by this "explosion", but the instantaneous burst of ultra-high temperatures of several thousand degrees was definitely not something that Lin Yuan's fireproof suit could withstand!
In addition to the extremely high temperature, the huge shock wave will easily tear Lin Yuan into pieces.

Meng Tao really didn't know what kind of situation Lin Yuan would have to face. In his opinion, Lin Yuan was definitely doomed at this moment.

But Meng Tao knew that no matter how dangerous it was, Lin Yuan had to face it head-on, and he would never agree to the fire tornado turning to the west.

At this time, Lin Yuan was falling in the high-speed rotation of the fire tornado.

Looking at the ground getting closer and closer, the billowing smoke from the southern forest was about to appear in front of him, and he knew what he was about to face.

This was the most dangerous thing he had ever experienced since his debut!

This time, he truly felt the breath of death coming towards him.

The faces of Liu Yufei, Taylor Swift, Betty Boop, GAKKI-chan and others flashed before his eyes.

Lin Yuan's heart was not filled with hypocritical emotion or reluctance, but was full of pride.

Isn’t it because of his indomitable courage that he can have such a wonderful life in this world?

Regardless of whether he has everything or not, he always keeps his original intention to move forward courageously.

I'm not a wimp who relies solely on the system. My courage is what I'm most proud of!
The speed of falling continued to increase. Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, waiting for the most dangerous moment in his life to arrive.

The fire tornado finally hit the forest area in the southern valley.

The violent airflow brought a large amount of oxygen, and the billowing black smoke was like an ancient beast that was awakened, and it instantly let out an earth-shaking roar!

"Boom!"

Lin Yuan felt as if someone had detonated a bomb next to his ear. His scalp went numb and the whole world became quiet in an instant.

He could no longer hear any sound, but only saw a fireball as hot as the sun coming towards him.

The moment before the fireball engulfed him, he had only one thought in his mind:
This scene is so beautiful!

It's like the most beautiful dream in a fairy tale, even if it's fatal.

The next moment, huge flames engulfed him.

Lin Yuan crossed his arms and protected his mask tightly.

He felt as if his arms were hit hard by a huge hammer, and he lost consciousness instantly, as if his arms did not exist.

What’s worse is not just that. Lin Yuan felt a sharp pain from head to toe, as if his whole body was being cut.

Along with the sharp pain like a knife cutting, there was also a burning sensation, as if someone had set it on fire.

He didn't know what had happened to his fireproof suit. Why did he feel such a strong burning sensation? Was the suit melted?

Lin Yuan felt as if his body was pierced by countless holes, and blood was gushing out of each hole.

His eyes seemed to be about to pop out, and everything in front of him was blood red.

He knew that the capillaries under his eye sockets had ruptured, causing the world in his eyes to turn blood red.

Golden system text appeared in the crimson blood screen, scrolling non-stop like a refresh screen:

[Warning! The host is damaged by the shock wave, and all capillaries in the body are ruptured...]

[Warning! The host has been harmed by the huge sound waves, the eardrum has been damaged, and temporary hearing loss has occurred...]

[Warning! The host has been injured by the shock wave, and the blood vessels in the liver and lungs have ruptured...]

[Warning! The host has been damaged by the shock wave, and the third rib on the left side is broken...]

[Warning! The host is severely dehydrated and has entered a state of mild exhaustion...]

……

A series of damage prompts make people feel as if they are about to die in the next moment.

Lin Yuan quickly scanned the information, and his worries were relieved by a lot.

No burns reported!
This showed that his fireproof suit had blocked the deadly high-temperature impact just now.

His fireproof suit was not damaged, at least not completely.

This means he still has a chance of survival.

Lin Yuan did not forget that he was still in mid-air.

When the fire tornado hit the ground just now, the explosion caused it threw him into the air again.

If he wants to survive, the first thing he must do is to land safely.

But landing does not mean he is safe. After landing, he will inevitably be in the burning southern forest, and he must rush out of the fire quickly.

Otherwise, both the oxygen that was about to be exhausted and the scorching heat of the fire would take his life.

"Meng Tao, can you hear me?" Lin Yuan said.

There was silence in my ears, and no sound came back.

Lin Yuan didn't know whether it was because he was temporarily deaf and couldn't hear Meng Tao's reply, or because the communication system had been completely damaged by the impact of the explosion.

But Lin Yuan knew that at this moment he could only rely on himself.

This is his greatest reliance, which is his two major talents: the unity of body and mind and extraordinary intuition.

If you still have a chance to survive, you will definitely be able to discover and seize it accurately.

What Lin Yuan didn't know was that at this moment, Director Cohen, Meng Tao and Charlize Theron were all in the communication channel, desperately shouting his name, but they couldn't get any response from Lin Yuan.

"What's wrong? Why doesn't Lin Yuan reply? Is his communication system broken?" Director Cohen shouted anxiously.

"Maybe the communication system is broken, or maybe the huge explosion just now made him temporarily deaf. You also saw how powerful the explosion just now was." Meng Tao was still frightened by the towering cloud column that rose into the sky during the explosion just now.

If Lin Yuan hadn't been far enough away, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

"Will he come back safely?" Director Cohen asked nervously.

At this moment, Charlize Theron's face was already covered with tears, and her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak, but she still said in a hoarse voice:

"Believe in him! Lin Yuan told us to believe in him. He will definitely come back safely."

"Let us witness a miracle together. Lin Yuan will succeed." Director Cohen stared at the camera and the footage coming from the drone.

At this time, Lin Yuan's body had stopped rising and began to fall.

The speed of his descent was getting faster and faster. He looked down and breathed a sigh of relief.

God was kind to him. Although there was not a dense forest below, there were several fir trees with thick branches.

As long as you can grab one of them, you can absorb the impact of falling.

He tried to move his right hand, but found that he had no strength at all and could not lift it.

Broken bone?
Fortunately, his left hand seemed to be still usable. While falling at high speed, Lin Yuan stared at the 20-meter-tall fir tree below him.

His extraordinary intuition allowed him to accurately find the life-saving branch among the dense branches of the fir tree.

The branch is thick enough and has sufficient load-bearing capacity.

The branch was also resilient enough not to break in the middle.

For him, this is a real life-saving straw.

But he also knew that he only had one chance to attack. If he couldn't hold on to the thick branch firmly, he would fall to the ground and turn into a puddle of mud.

There was silence in Lin Yuan's ears, and his mind became highly concentrated.

As he passed by the tree trunk, Lin Yuan stretched out his arms and legs like lightning and held the branch tightly.

His falling speed also dropped instantly.

But the moment he grabbed the branch, a huge force accompanied by severe pain came from his left arm.

Lin Yuan felt his arm go numb and immediately became sore and weak.

The branch that he had been holding tightly to suddenly loosened.

Lin Yuan rolled and continued to fall.

At this time, it is still 17 meters from the ground.

If he fell to the ground from this height, Lin Yuan would still be dead.

Lin Yuan was not at all panicked while falling. Guided by his gift of unity of body and mind, he stretched out his legs accurately and locked another branch firmly.

Finally, Lin Yuan managed to stabilize his falling body.

Here he is less than 6 meters above the ground.

He loosened his legs, somersaulted in mid-air, and landed steadily on his knees. After landing safely, Lin Yuan didn't have any time to breathe.

He looked up and saw blood all around. He couldn't tell east, south, west or north, and couldn't even tell where the fire was and where the flat ground was.

A strong feeling of fatigue and powerlessness came over me.

Even though he had overcome so many life-and-death challenges, he seemed to have reached his limit.

At this moment, he was covered in wounds and his oxygen was about to run out.

There was only an endless sea of ​​fire around him, and he could not find a way to survive.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded at ten o'clock on his right.

Although Lin Yuan could not hear the explosion, the air waves caused by the shock wave still allowed Lin Yuan to feel the change in direction.

"Meng Tao! It's Meng Tao!"

Lin Yuan immediately ran for his life towards the ten o'clock direction.

He knew that this was a flame-retardant bomb fired by Meng Tao, and he was using this method to show Lin Yuan the direction of escape.

At this moment, every step Lin Yuan took made him feel severe pain all over his body. He knew that running wildly in such a bruised state would inevitably make the injury worse.

But Lin Yuan couldn't care less about these things at the moment. Only by running forward desperately could he have a chance of survival.

A large amount of golden system text appeared again in his blood-red vision:

[Warning! The host's intense running behavior has caused internal bleeding to intensify...]

[Warning! The host's intense running behavior has caused further fracture and deformation of the ribs, posing a risk of penetration into internal organs...]

[Warning! The host is severely dehydrated and has entered a state of moderate exhaustion...]

[Warning! The host is exposed to high temperatures and is at risk of burns...]

[Warning! The host lacks sufficient oxygen and is in danger of falling into a coma...]

……

This time, Lin Yuan could no longer deceive himself and ignore these injury warnings.

The two pieces of information he was most worried about finally appeared.

The high temperature warning meant that his fireproof suit was not intact during the explosion and was no longer able to withstand the high temperature of the fire.

If he couldn't get out of the fire quickly, he might be burned to death.

Even if he survived by chance, Lin Yuan never wanted to face the tragic consequences of severe burns.

The second thing is that his oxygen is almost exhausted.

Originally he might have had about 2 minutes, but the explosion apparently damaged his fireproof suit, causing a large part of the oxygen sealed in the interlayer to be lost.

Therefore, the time when oxygen is exhausted comes early.

In such a desperate situation, any fear is meaningless.

Lin Yuan had no room to retreat, he could only run for his life.

All the pain and fear were thrown behind him, and only one thought remained in his mind:
run!
Faster!
He didn't know that at this moment, his body was burning again and he turned into a fire man again.

The black THPC carbonized flame-retardant fiber was completely destroyed in the explosion, and even more than half of the inner PBI material was melted.

How could it be possible to remain unscathed under the instantaneous high temperature of several thousand degrees?

At this time, many severely damaged parts of Lin Yuan's body lost the protection of the flame retardant layer and began to burn.

Although protected by the heat-insulating layer, it will soon be burned through, and Lin Yuan will be completely exposed to the scorching flames like naked.

At this moment, a loud noise came.

"Boom!"

A flame retardant bomb exploded in front of Lin Yuan, clearing a space for him and pointing out the direction to move forward.

Lin Yuan rushed towards the area cleared by the flame retardant bombs like lightning.

As soon as he entered that area, the flames on his body immediately became visibly smaller.

The explosion of the flame retardant bomb caused the oxygen content in the area to decrease for a short period of time. Although it would be filled up again soon, for Lin Yuan it was like a refreshing rain after a long drought.

Immediately afterwards, the soil raised by the explosion fell like a rainstorm.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, this hearty rain of mud further extinguished the flames on Lin Yuan's body.

At this moment, he once again gained a brief sense of safety.

Although Lin Yuan felt that his legs were becoming heavier due to lack of oxygen, his running speed was slowly decreasing, and even his vision was beginning to darken.

But he still marched with all his strength and would never give up until the last moment.

"Boom!"

Another flame retardant bomb exploded in front of Lin Yuan.

At this moment, Lin Yuan simply loved this picture full of violent aesthetics, which brought him hope of life.

That day, Lin Yuan didn't know how fast he was running.

He didn't know how far he had run.

Before his eyes went dark and he fell into a coma, there was only one thought in his mind:
I really tried my best...

……

……

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan opened his heavy eyelids.

He found that it seemed to be late at night and he was lying on a soft hospital bed.

The ward is well-equipped with various medical equipment and the environment is very comfortable. It is obviously a high-level intensive care ward.

A blond head was lying by his window, fast asleep.

It's Charlize Theron.

Lin Yuan reached out and wanted to touch her head, but found that his right hand was completely out of control.

He turned his head and saw that his right arm was covered with plaster and bandages and was hanging up.

Not only his right arm, his entire body was wrapped in bandages, and he looked like a mummy.

Seeing himself like this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh. After so many years of filming, this was the first time he had made himself so miserable.

But no matter what, I am lucky to be able to save my life.

Lin Yuan's small movement immediately woke up the sleeping Charlize Theron.

She raised her head and found Lin Yuan looking at her. She immediately shouted in surprise, "Lin Yuan, you're awake!"

The voice was hoarse, but Lin Yuan could still hear the deep concern.

"Where am I? How long have I slept?" Lin Yuan asked.

"This is Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. You've been in a coma for 42 hours," Charlize Theron said.

Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, located in Manhattan, is one of the best hospitals in New York and even in the United States. Obviously, he received the best treatment.

"How is my injury?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Concussion, right arm fracture, left hand ligament strain, leg muscle strain, two broken ribs, liver, lungs, and stomach all damaged to varying degrees, ruptured capillaries throughout the body, and slight damage to the eardrum..."

Charlize Theron listed all the injuries Lin Yuan had suffered in a row, and it was amazing that she could remember them all without missing a single one.

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "What I'm most concerned about is whether my face is burned or looks ugly."

Charlize Theron was about to answer when Lin Yuan spoke up first, "Seeing you're still so concerned and staying by my side, you must be fine."

Hearing Lin Yuan's teasing, Charlize Theron didn't laugh. Instead, tears streamed down her face: "Why do you say that to me? Who said I would dislike you just because you are disfigured?
No matter what you become, I will never give up on you!

You actually thought of me as that kind of woman..."

After hearing what Charlize Theron said, Lin Yuan immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing.

He couldn't help but blame himself. He had just woken up and his mind was in a mess, so he spoke nonsense and hurt her feelings.

Lin Yuan wanted to reach out and hug her to express his comfort, but he found that he couldn't use his hands at all, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

But Charlize Theron quickly stopped crying. She raised her head and said, "You are a patient. I cannot be angry with you. But don't think of me like that again in the future."

Lin Yuan nodded. "No, I won't. I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to wake up so quickly in the fire tornado. It would have been really dangerous."

Thinking back on it now, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He was able to rush out of the fire and be rescued in the end. If he had been a few seconds later, he might have died in the fire.

Charlize Theron's cry allowed him to wake up earlier, winning crucial life-saving time.

From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that Charlize Theron saved his life.

"Don't thank me, I don't like to hear it." Charlize Theron guessed Lin Yuan's thoughts and spoke first.

"Then let me change the subject. I want to know if I am disfigured?" Lin Yuan asked.

Hearing Lin Yuan's question, Charlize Theron couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You almost lost your life, and what you care about most is whether you are handsome or not?" Charlize Theron said with a smile.

"Of course, my face is also an important means of production and is definitely worth a fortune." Lin Yuan said righteously.

For a legendary action star, exciting action scenes are certainly the most important, but a handsome face is also of great significance.

Lin Yuan knew that if he wasn’t so handsome, his status in film history might not be much different, but the box office would definitely be 20% to 30% less.

This world is so about appearance.

"Don't worry, your face is not hurt. Miraculously, there are no burns on your body. There are only a few burns on your back, but they have been treated." Charlize Theron said.

After hearing the reply, Lin Yuan finally felt relieved.

The next moment, Charlize Theron continued, "By the way, you're awake. I have to notify them immediately."

"They?" Lin Yuan had already guessed the answer.

"Betty, Taylor and Annie, they and I took turns looking after you. Now they are tired and sleeping in the next room." Charlize Theron said.

Lin Yuan nodded to show that he understood.

He was injured to this extent while filming, there was no way Taylor Swift and Betty Boop wouldn't come immediately.

Anne Hathaway should be filming in Los Angeles, but she also rushed here, which surprised Lin Yuan a little.

Charlize Theron calls them: Betty, Taylor and Anne, not Miss Adams, Miss Swift and Miss Hathaway.

Lin Yuan knew that they must have had a deep communication and reached some kind of recognition.

Then you don’t have to worry about seeing bloody scenes.

Charlize Theron continued, "Sissi and Gakki are also on their way and will arrive in three hours."

Hearing this news, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache.

After finishing the filming in Shara Village, GAKKI, who served as Lin Yuan's assistant, went to Japan to help him handle the organization of the second Kendo Tournament and the first New Sumo Tournament.

Knowing that Lin Yuan was injured, the assistant would definitely rush over as soon as possible. However, since he flew across the Pacific Ocean from Tokyo, his arrival time would definitely be slower than Taylor Swift and Betty Boop who were in New York.

Lin Yuan was not worried about GAKKI-chan. After all, even if this sweet little girl felt sorry for him, she would not say anything harsh.

But Liu Yufei is different.

As his official girlfriend, she is also the person for whom Lin Yuan needs to take the most responsibility.

Lin Yuan's dangerous shoot this time is far more dangerous than any previous time. If he has an accident, Liu Yufei will definitely be the one who is most affected.

Although Lin Yuan knew that Miss Tianxian would definitely not blame him, he just didn't want to face her sad eyes.

"By the way, Xixi also brought Miss Gao and Miss Jia along," said Charlize Theron.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan felt his head swelling even more:
This time all the girls gathered together, are they going to put on a big show for him?
