Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 637 Survival from desperate situation
Dazzling electric sparks continued to flash underwater. An unmanned submarine equipped with a camera quietly swam behind Lin Yuan and sent the current image to the large screen in the command cabin of the Virginia.

The command cabin was already packed with people at this time. Those officers and soldiers who could not squeeze into the command cabin also stayed in the crowded passage, eager to hear any information.

"It's an incredible miracle. Lin Yuan can withstand the water pressure at a depth of 700 meters? I really can't believe what I am seeing." Lieutenant Colonel Louis said while looking at the big screen.

As a submarine commander, he knew only too well how high the water pressure was at such a deep sea level.

Even many marine animals cannot tolerate this depth. I really can’t imagine how Lin Yuan can endure it.

But everyone was genuinely delighted when they saw the scene before them, and thunderous applause broke out in the command cabin.

Although Lin Yuan couldn't hear the applause, everyone still wanted to express their support for Lin Yuan in this way.

"The welding speed seems to be very fast, and Lin Yuan's movements are quite skillful." Depp could only see that Lin Yuan's progress was very fast.

"Even if Lin Yuan can endure such strong water pressure for a while, he will definitely not be able to bear it for a long time." Meng Tao said.

"Huh? If he wanted to speed it up, why did he weld it twice?"

Meng Tao saw that Lin Yuan on the big screen did not keep moving forward and complete the work as quickly as possible.

More than 10 seconds after finishing welding, he returned to the previously welded area and welded it again.

"Because the quality of underwater welding is much lower than welding in the air, Lin Yuan is worried that if he doesn't do this, the welds may be damaged again." Lieutenant Colonel Louis replied.

After hearing Lieutenant Colonel Louis' explanation, everyone couldn't help but feel guilty again.

In the picture, the bulging veins on Lin Yuan's neck are clearly visible, and it is obvious that he is enduring great pain while doing the welding work.

In this situation, a normal person would choose to complete the welding work quickly and then return to the submarine as soon as possible.

But Lin Yuan did not do so. Instead, he took huge uncontrollable risks and tried his best to do the emergency repair work.

It felt terrible to see Lin Yuan fighting alone while they could only watch in front of the screen but couldn't help at all.

The atmosphere in the command cabin suddenly became a little heavy.

Depp asked, "Why is Lin Yuan so versatile? He knows everything. It's fine that he dances well, after all, dancing relies on athletic ability and is his main skill."

But welding is totally irrelevant, right? Although I don't know how to weld, Lin Yuan's skills are definitely not worse than those of an experienced welder."

As soon as these words were spoken, the already heavy atmosphere in the command cabin became even more depressing.

This stunned Depp, who wanted to lighten the atmosphere. He didn't know that his words of praise for Lin Yuan would lead to such a result?
"Shut up! If you don't know how to speak, don't speak!" Meng Tao, his good friend, scolded him, "Didn't you just hear Lin Yuan say that when he was a teenager and before he debuted, he could only do odd jobs like welding to earn a living?

If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

After hearing Meng Tao's words, Depp finally realized that he had said the wrong thing.

A picture emerged in his mind:
Lin Yuan, who was perhaps only ten years old, came to factories and workshops with his tender shoulders, hoping to earn some living expenses.

Considering the strict restrictions on child labor in North America, almost no boss dared to hire him, even as a temporary employee.

Depp didn't know what happened, but judging from the result, it was obvious that Lin Yuan finally found a temporary job.

Maybe it was a Chinese boss who saw that he was so pitiful that he wanted to give him a chance to make a living, even at the risk of going to jail and receiving a huge fine?

But he was still a child, and his physique was far from being as strong as it is now. He could not do any heavy physical work, so he gritted his teeth to overcome his fear and learned welding technology so that he could earn a temporary wage.

When such a situation appeared in front of Depp, he realized more deeply how many hardships Lin Yuan had experienced on his way to where he is today.

Depp recalled that when he first met Lin Yuan, he was just a newcomer who had just filmed two movies.

At that time, he and director Verbinski of "Pirates of the Caribbean" were full of resistance to "relatives" like Lin Yuan who brought money into the crew, and once wanted to exclude Lin Yuan.

Depp gradually became friends with Lin Yuan after Lin Yuan saved him from drowning in the icy water.

At that time, Depp once asked Lin Yuan a question: "When you filmed 'The Fast and the Furious,' you were already an actor with a previous film called 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.' Why were you willing to risk your life for a minor role in a car jump scene?"

In Depp's opinion, it is not impossible for an action actor to take risks, but the premise is that the benefits and rewards are equal.

If I were to play the leading role, that would be fine, after all, all the profits from the adventure would belong to me.

But you're just a temporary worker, a bit player, how much do you get paid? You only have a few scenes, so why would you risk your life?
Now Depp has some understanding. Lin Yuan has always been a ruthless person. Faced with opportunities and dangers, he always faces them head-on.

Meng Tao patted Depp on the shoulder and said, "I was anxious just now and cursed a little too harshly."

Depp shook his head to show that he didn't mind: "I just spoke without thinking, you were right to scold me.

I sincerely hope that Lin Yuan can return safely. Thinking about how much he has endured and how he has been running all the time since his debut and fame, never stopping to enjoy any happiness, I really feel sorry for him. "

Meng Tao put his arm around Depp's shoulders, and together with everyone in the command cabin, they stared at the screen intently, afraid of missing any details.

At this time, Lin Yuan on the screen had completed the preliminary welding work.

It can be clearly seen that the original crack, which was about 1 meters long, has been repaired by welding rods.

After completing the initial welding work, Lin Yuan began to carry out secondary reinforcement at several suspected weak points.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the command cabin couldn't help but cheer.

"We're saved! Once Lin Yuan finishes welding and returns, we can try to surface and leave this damn place!" Lieutenant Colonel Louis waved his fist excitedly.

"But the price is too heavy." said a sailor in the corridor.

The scene of Lin Yuan inserting the long silver needle into their ear just now appeared in everyone's mind again.

That drop of falling blood became an image that no one would ever forget in their lifetime.

"Ah~"

"Whoo~"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, and the joy of being out of danger was also diluted, because everyone knew what price Lin Yuan paid for this chance of survival.

Director Cohen, who was sitting in the corner of the command module, was whispering to the unmanned submarine operator.

The operator was only good at operating the submarine, but had no idea about capturing the camera shots. Director Cohen stood by to record the scene as best as possible under his guidance.

Director Cohen could not do Lin Yuan's feat of deep-sea escape, nor could he help.

For him, the only thing he can do is to capture these scenes as perfectly as possible.

These images not only record Lin Yuan’s courage and sacrifice, but director Cohen believes that they must be seen by the world. Otherwise, how would everyone know that Lin Yuan is such a noble person?
At this moment, Director Cohen recalled the night when they held a bonfire party after filming the climbing of the big ice wall on Yala Snow Mountain.

He mentioned to Lin Yuan that he wanted to integrate the filming footage of "Lord of Spy Wars 2" into a documentary and release it together with "Lord of Spy Wars 2".

At that time, Lin Yuan asked himself humbly, can the shooting footage of "Lord of Spy 2" be integrated into a documentary?

Will he be too arrogant and get scolded by the audience?
At that time, although Director Cohen firmly believed that this documentary would be loved by many audiences, he was still a little nervous, after all, no one had ever done this before.

Director Cohen no longer has any worries in his heart after this sea shooting, whether it is the scene of rescuing bowhead whales and narwhals, or the scene of Lin Yuan going out of the cabin for emergency repairs in the deep sea, he also has the scene of Lin Yuan piercing his eardrum with a silver needle without hesitation before going out of the cabin.

Which of these contents is not full of legends?

Although these contents cannot be included as the main film in "King of Spy V: The Last Airbender", based on the wonderfulness of these behind-the-scenes footage alone, director Cohen believes that even the off-screen stories are not inferior to the main film.

Director Cohen believes that when "King of Spy" and this documentary are released together, it will not only have the effect of 2+1>1, but may even produce an explosive chemical reaction.

Director Coen can’t even imagine how many box office records these two films will set when they are released together.
I'm afraid this will be an unprecedented twin movie in the history of human cinema, and even Lin Yuan himself cannot surpass this achievement.

Director Cohen stared at the screen and carefully instructed the operator to adjust the angle, striving to achieve the best shooting effect.

Lin Yuan on the screen is almost completing the reinforcement work and will be able to go home soon.

But at this moment, the front end of the welding rod suddenly exploded!

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"what!"

"F*CK!"

"God!"

Everyone in the command cabin looked at the screen in disbelief:

I saw the welding rod explode, splashing out countless sparks and bubbles, as dense as boiling water.

A curved arc of electricity flashed by.

But everyone clearly saw that the electric arc hit Lin Yuan's right chest!

Lin Yuan on the screen was shaking violently, with an extremely hideous and painful expression on his face.

"What happened?" Depp shouted anxiously.

"It seems like the spot welding gun exploded underwater, and Lin Yuan seemed to have been electrocuted." Depp said with a clenched fist.

"Is he okay? Is he okay?" Director Cohen stopped filming and stood up to ask.

"How should I know! I want to know too! Please don't let him suffer severe burns, and don't let his respiratory and cardiovascular systems be damaged! God, I beg you, please protect Lin Yuan!" Meng Tao prayed.

After receiving electric shock, there will be a series of serious consequences.

The easiest thing to see from the outside is naturally electric burns. The entrance and exit of the electric current after it penetrates the skin can be clearly seen at the site of electric shock.

Burns and charring may occur on the skin, forming cracks or holes. The wound surface may be yellow, burnt yellow or black, and deep tissues may show coagulative necrosis.

This type of injury is very terrible and difficult to treat, and it can easily lead to various complications, such as local wound infection and sepsis.

Bleeding and thrombosis caused by vascular damage, as well as myoglobinuria and acute renal failure caused by muscle necrosis may also occur.

That's why Meng Tao prayed that he would not suffer severe burns, as this could be fatal.

In addition, the damage caused by electric shock is not limited to burns.

Electric shock is also very harmful to the heart and can cause arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, myocardial damage and even cardiac arrest.

It also affects the respiratory muscles of the respiratory system, causing breathing difficulties and a feeling of suffocation. "Why isn't Lin Yuan moving?"

"Is there smoke coming out of the right side of his chest? Is it burnt?"

"I didn't see any bubbles coming out of Lin Yuan's mouth. Did he suddenly stop breathing?"

When wearing an oxygen mask underwater, obvious bubbles will float up when breathing, which is an important sign to determine whether a person is breathing normally.

But at this time, Lin Yuan on the screen had not produced any bubbles for several seconds, and was just floating quietly in the water without moving.

Looking at Lin Yuan lying motionless, Meng Tao could no longer sit still.

He stood up and shouted to Commander Lewis: "Give me a liquid-filled pressure-resistant diving suit, and I will go out to pick him up."

"Coach Meng, calm down! Lin Yuan can withstand the water pressure, and you will only die if you go out!" Lieutenant Colonel Louis replied.

"Calm down? I can't calm down!" Meng Tao said loudly, "I can't just watch him die in front of me, can I?"

"No! I promised Lin Yuan that I would protect you if he had an accident. I can't watch you die." Lieutenant Colonel Louis hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Louis was not cooperating, Meng Tao grabbed his collar and said:
"I say it again! Give me the wetsuit!"

"I'm sorry I can't agree to you. This is my promise to Lin Yuan." Lieutenant Colonel Louis replied sincerely.

"Give me the diving suit! Don't force me to do anything!" Meng Tao yelled.

Just when Meng Tao was about to lose control of himself, Depp grabbed his hand and said, "Meng Tao, look, Lin Yuan is moving."

"Yes, Lin Yuan moved!"

"Thank God he's breathing again."

"Oh my god, these are the most beautiful and inspiring bubbles in the world!"

The officers and soldiers in the command cabin shouted in unison, their words filled with ecstasy.

Meng Tao turned his head to look at the screen, only to see Lin Yuan still floating in the water without any movement, but his chest began to rise and fall laboriously, and strings of bubbles spurted out of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Meng Tao's heart seemed to fall back to the ground from a height of thousands of feet.

Although he didn't know Lin Yuan's current condition, it was obvious that he was still alive.

Lin Yuan is in a very bad condition now.

The moment the electric arc flashed before his eyes, Lin Yuan knew that something was wrong.

He clearly saw the electric arc like a deadly poisonous snake, drilling into his body.

Lin Yuan only felt an indescribable pain, as if his whole body was on fire, and his internal organs and blood were boiling.

He felt his eyes go dark and he could not see anything.

The whole person seemed to be tied up by invisible chains, unable to move, and even the breathing in his chest had stopped.

I don’t know how long it took for this feeling to subside slightly, and the system’s crazy alarm messages immediately flooded the screen.

A series of crimson messages appeared on his retina:

[Warning, the host has been attacked by a strong electric current, and the right chest and right leg have been severely burned! ]

[Warning, the host has been attacked by a strong electric current, inducing respiratory arrest! ]

[Warning, the host is being attacked by a strong electric current, inducing muscle spasms! ]

……

Dozens of damage information appeared before his eyes in an instant.

His body was already severely damaged by the huge water pressure, and now it was even worse.

It was obvious that he was seriously injured, no less than the injuries he suffered in the Canadian wildfire scene, and seemed even more serious.

The only thing to be thankful for is that I am still alive.

At least I'm still alive now.

Since you are still alive, you must find a way to save yourself.

Lin Yuan knew that no one could save him and he could only rely on himself.

He wanted to move his arms and legs to paddle, but found that he couldn't move at all.

Lin Yuan remembered the system warning. It seemed that the electric shock induced muscle spasms, causing him to temporarily lose his ability to move.

He could only float quietly in the water, feeling the huge water pressure squeezing madly along the wound caused by the electric burn.

If this continues, death won’t be far away, right?
Lin Yuan knew that the right half of his body had suffered severe damage from the electric shock, and now he could only rely on his left half of his body.

He tried to use all his strength to drive his left arm and left leg.

I found that my body, which was usually so strong and powerful, now seemed to be "sleep-paralyzed", so heavy that it was unimaginable.

Lin Yuan had never felt so difficult before. Using his arms felt like he was carrying a whole mountain on his hands.

His expression became quite ferocious as he exerted force, and the veins on his neck became more obvious, as if they were about to burst.

But no matter how difficult it was, Lin Yuan could only grit his teeth and try his best.

No one can save him. If he gives up on himself, it would be tantamount to declaring death in advance.

Finally, after Lin Yuan's desperate efforts, his left arm finally moved and his left leg could also paddle simply.

But every swing seemed to exhaust all his energy.

This made Lin Yuan realize that it was not just a simple muscle spasm. His body was probably still deteriorating and he might not be able to swim back to the escape pod.

But he still did not give up, but struggled to "crawl" towards the escape pod little by little.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "climbing".

Everyone in the command module stared at the screen. At this time, Lin Yuan could no longer swim freely. He could only use one hand and one foot to grab the hull of the Virginia and move towards the escape capsule little by little.

This scene is too familiar to a soldier.

It was as if a dying soldier on the battlefield, who had survived a bombardment but was bleeding all over his body, was trying his best to crawl out of the crater and seek help.

Everyone in the command cabin who saw this scene could no longer suppress their emotions and burst into tears.

The entire command cabin was filled with sobs. These soldiers, who were usually strong-willed, were crying like tearful people.

But no matter how hard they cried, they had to wipe away their tears with their hands, for fear that they would not be able to hear Lin Yuan's voice on the screen.

I saw Lin Yuan still climbing with difficulty, but it seemed that his strength was getting less and less, and he was climbing slower and slower.

At first, it moved forward a little bit every two or three seconds, but later it took five or six seconds to move forward.

Now, it has been more than ten seconds and Lin Yuan has not moved forward again.

If his mask hadn't been still spewing bubbles, everyone would probably have thought Lin Yuan was dead.

Seeing this, Meng Tao could no longer bear it. He grabbed Lieutenant Colonel Louis and said, "Give me the diving suit. I want to get out of the cabin!
I know there's a high probability that I'll die, but I don't care!

Rather than watching him die like this, I would rather die with him."

Lieutenant Colonel Louis didn't refuse this time. He turned to look at the adjutant beside him and said, "Prepare two diving suits."

"Ok?"

Meng Tao was very surprised that Lieutenant Colonel Louis did not reject him, but why two sets?

"I'm the captain of the Virginia. How can I let you go alone? I'll go out of the cabin with you. If we're not crushed by the water pressure immediately, then let's try to pull Lin Yuan back." Lieutenant Colonel Louis said.

"But you are the captain, and the Virginia needs you. How can you die with me?" Meng Tao said.

At this time, Lin Yuan had completed the welding work of the watertight compartment, and in principle, the conditions for floating up were met.

It can be said that the Virginia's self-rescue work has been completed for more than half, and the chance of survival for everyone on the boat has been greatly increased.

At this time, Commander Louis, the captain of the submarine, was willing to give up everything and go out of the cabin with him?
Lieutenant Commander Louis said confidently, "I've already handed over the responsibility to the deputy captain. If anything happens to me, he'll lead everyone in rescuing themselves. I'm willing to sacrifice my life to take this gamble with you."

"Thank you!" Meng Tao hugged Lieutenant Colonel Louis.

"I should be the one thanking you and Lin Yuan." Lieutenant Colonel Louis hugged Meng Tao backhandedly.

Lin Yuan had been motionless for a long time, just soaking in the water and gasping for breath, less than 5 meters away from the entrance of the escape capsule.

However, this 5-meter distance was like a natural barrier, separating life and death, making it impossible for Lin Yuan to cross.

The situation was extremely urgent. Meng Tao and Lieutenant Colonel Louis quickly arrived at the door of the escape capsule, ready to face the unknown life and death.

"Bang!"

The two opened the inner door of the escape pod and walked into it.

Just as Meng Tao was about to close the hatch, a hand suddenly reached in and blocked the iron door.

"What are you doing!" shouted Lieutenant Colonel Louis.

"Captain, come back quickly! Lin Yuan is saved! Close the hatch and prepare to welcome him back!"

Several sailors reached out and pulled Depp and Commander Louis out, fearing that they would be slow to come out and delay Lin Yuan's return to the cabin.

saved?
How did he get saved?
Lieutenant Colonel Louis and Meng Tao were confused.
