He walked aimlessly down the bustling street with his hands in his pockets.
Under the blazing sun, waves of scorching heat swept over us, and the leaves of the plane trees lining the streets were starting to wilt.
Yang Feng strolled through the bustling city, looking at the vibrant and lively world around him.
Upbeat pop music was playing in the shops, a long queue had formed in front of the ice cream shop, and several retired old men were sitting around a stone table under the shade of a tree, arguing heatedly over a game of chess.
Looking at all this, Yang Feng's mind wandered again.
His mind was still replaying every detail of his previous video conference with Xu Tian and Long Jianguo.
He wondered what kind of monster was deep inside him when he spoke that extreme plan in such a cold tone.
In the game, because of his ruthless and underhanded tactics, all solo players both hate and fear him.
Over time, even he himself got used to the derogatory and teasing nickname "Born".
He has always believed that he is essentially a cold-blooded politician who can completely abandon morality and bottom line in order to achieve his goals.
But now, as he truly walks on the streets of Earth, looking at these living, breathing human beings around him, and smelling the exhaust fumes and dust in the air, he suddenly finds himself somewhat unclear.
Is he an interstellar demon wielding the power to destroy the world, or a mortal willing to bear eternal infamy for the sake of civilization's survival?
"Hehehe, come and chase me, you can't catch me."
Just as Yang Feng was mired in deep self-doubt and mental exhaustion, slowly walking forward, a clear, childlike laugh, as sweet as a silver bell, suddenly came from behind the roadside trees in front of him.
Chapter 475 Saved
Yang Feng subconsciously pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked in the direction of the sound.
Ahead, at a wide intersection, several children, about four or five years old, dressed in brightly colored clothes, were happily chasing and playing on the sidewalk.
Their faces beamed with the innocent, radiant smiles unique to their age, and their large, dark eyes were brimming with trust and joy in the world.
On a bench not far away, several young parents were gathered together, cracking sunflower seeds and chatting with a mix of doting and helpless expressions, their eyes occasionally glancing at their children.
Looking at the innocent smiles on the children's faces, untouched by any pollution or doomsday panic, Yang Feng's somewhat cold and hardened heart seemed to be gently touched by some invisible force in that instant.
Just as he passed by the group of children, preparing to continue walking forward...
The mutation occurred suddenly in that instant without any warning.
One of the little girls, with two cute pigtails and wearing a pink dress, was laughing and shouting happily at her companion.
"Come and chase me, hehehe."
However, while laughing loudly, she ran backwards, somewhat carried away by her own triumph.
She didn't even realize that she had unknowingly stepped over the curb of the sidewalk and was now backing up onto the straight zebra crossing lane, which had no guardrails or barriers.
At that very moment, the green light at the intersection turned on.
At the end of the road, a heavy-duty Hongyan truck, loaded with sand and weighing tens of tons, was speeding towards them with the roar of its huge diesel engine.
Under the blazing sun, the massive truck resembled a steel behemoth, its speed propelled by inertia, creating a gust of wind that howled through the air.
When the truck driver suddenly saw a small pink figure backing up and rushing into the middle of the zebra crossing without warning, the driver was terrified.
His eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively slammed on the brakes while frantically honking the horn.
The screeching sound of brakes instantly echoed throughout the entire road.
The truck's massive tires screeched violently against the road surface, instantly kicking up a plume of blue smoke and leaving a dark skid mark more than ten meters long.
However, the immense inertia of tens of tons made it impossible for this steel behemoth to stop in an instant.
It still carried terrifying force as it hurtled head-on towards the unsuspecting little girl in pink.
"Ah, Xiaojing, get out of the way!"
It wasn't until the loudspeaker blared that the parents chatting on the benches at the back suddenly realized what was happening.
When the mother turned her head and saw that her daughter was already standing in front of the truck, and that huge steel monster was roaring towards them, the mother's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
She let out a scream that was almost desperate, her legs went weak, and she tried to scramble over, but the distance was too far, and she couldn't make it in time.
The little girl named Xiaojing was completely terrified by the sudden appearance of the huge truck cab and the piercing sound of its horn.
She stood blankly in the middle of the zebra crossing, clutching a rag doll in her arms, her large, dark eyes filled with confusion, her petite body completely frozen in place.
In that instant.
Pedestrians and parents along the street closed their eyes in despair, unable to bear witnessing the horrific scene that was about to unfold.
However, before anyone could react, Yang Feng, who had been walking beside her with his hands in his pockets like a wooden doll, suddenly had a glint of light in his eyes, which had been somewhat empty and confused.
His body reacts even faster than his mind.
His right hand shot out like lightning, his five fingers firmly and accurately grabbing the fabric of the little girl's pink dress from the back.
Without harming the little girl, Yang Feng forcefully pulled her back from the brink of death, from the path of the truck's movement, with a single, powerful slap.
"Whoosh".
Almost at the same second that Yang Feng forcibly pulled the little girl's body back to the edge of the sidewalk, the massive truck, its body brushing against the fabric of her clothes, sped past in a flash.
Due to the emergency maneuver and sudden braking, the truck lurched forward seven or eight meters before finally coming to a stop in the middle of the road with a loud bang.
The truck driver slumped in the cab, drenched in cold sweat, gasping for breath, his face ashen.
Meanwhile, Yang Feng was standing steadily on the sidewalk curb.
He loosened his grip slightly with his right hand, gently placing the somewhat terrified little girl, who was staring wide-eyed and at a loss, onto the solid ground.
Only at this moment, after a period of silence, did the entire street suddenly erupt into a burst of exclamations and screams.
"Oh my god, I'm saved! I'm actually saved!"
"Xiaojing, my daughter."
The mother, who was almost driven mad with fear, finally scrambled over.
She grabbed the little girl, who was standing there stunned, and hugged her tightly. Tears streamed down her face like a flood, and she trembled violently. She kissed her daughter's cheeks hard while crying incoherently.
"You scared Mommy to death! Waaah, you scared me to death! How many times have I told you not to run around in the road?"
The little girl named Xiaojing was affected by her mother's emotions and finally, belatedly, burst into tears, clinging tightly to her mother's neck. Her cries echoed throughout the entire street.
After calming her somewhat distraught daughter down a bit, the mother wiped away her tears, hugged her child, and without warning, knelt down in front of Yang Feng. She kowtowed frantically to Yang Feng while crying out in a hoarse voice, filled with endless gratitude.
"What a great kindness you have, brother! If it weren't for you today, our whole family would be completely ruined. You are our family's savior. Xiaojing, stop crying, quickly thank your brother for saving our lives!"
Xiao Jing was in her mother's arms, with large tears still clinging to her big eyes.
She looked timidly at the older brother in front of her, whose face was cold and aloof, and who seemed somewhat unfathomable despite having saved her.
She sniffed, hugged her doll, and said loudly in a childish yet incredibly sincere voice.
"Thank you, big brother, thank you for saving Xiaojing."
Yang Feng stood quietly under the scorching sun.
Chapter 476 Enlightenment on the Road
Looking at the mother and daughter kneeling at his feet, weeping uncontrollably, and at the little girl's eyes that had regained their innocence and radiance after she had regained consciousness.
A gentle, faint smile slowly curved the corners of his lips.
At that moment, the immense mental burden that had been weighing on his chest for hours seemed to melt away instantly with the little girl's innocent "thank you."
He slowly squatted down, reached out, and gently stroked Xiaojing's cute little head with its pigtails twice.
His fingers touched the girl's soft hair, feeling the warmth of the young human life.
Yang Feng didn't say much, nor did he stay to accept the other party's monetary thanks or contact information.
He slowly stood up, put his hands back in his pockets, turned around, and walked out with incredibly easy steps, pushing through the somewhat shocked crowd.
Behind them, the mother was still calling out anxiously.
"Brother, don't go! What's your name? Please let our whole family pay a visit to thank you in the future."
Little Jing, at such a young age, watched Yang Feng's tall and slender figure receding into the distance under the blazing sun. She turned around and tugged at her mother's clothes with a somewhat innocent tone, asking in her childish voice.
"Mom, why did the older brother leave without talking to us? Does he not like Xiaojing?"
The mother held her precious child tightly, watching Yang Feng's unassuming and quiet departure, her eyes filled with endless respect and emotion.
She shook her head vigorously and answered loudly, word by word, to her daughter and to all the onlookers.
"How could that be, Xiaojing? It's because the older brother who saved you just now is a truly upright and good person. Good people do good deeds quietly and without expecting anything in return."
Hearing her mother's words, Xiao Jing in her arms nodded as if she understood.
With her childish voice, she loudly repeated the words to the entire road and to Yang Feng's departing figure, with a hint of boasting and pride.
"My brother is a good person. Mom said he's a really good person."
"Yes, that young man was such a rare and wonderful person. He was so young, yet he reacted so quickly and had such a kind heart."
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This young man will surely have great blessings and good fortune in the future."
In an instant, the neighbors and passersby who had witnessed this thrilling scene all gave Yang Feng a thumbs up in the direction he left, and all sorts of heartfelt praise and admiration echoed throughout the street.
……
By this time, Yang Feng had already walked out of the noisy road.
He stopped alone under the shade of a tree in a secluded park.
Listening to the faint, distant voices praising him as a great man and a hero, and watching the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.
Yang Feng slowly raised his right hand, looking at the faint red marks left on his palm when he pulled the little girl, and felt the gentle breeze of the real world.
His eyes, in that instant, became completely clear and bright.
He murmured something softly, with a mixture of amusement and relief.
"What a good person! So, in the real world, I, Yang Feng, am actually a truly good person?"
He couldn't help but chuckle softly.
In the game universe, he was the first player to be born in the entire server.
