Chapter 309
As soldiers on the front line of firefighting, they have always been deeply loved by the public.
But today, they had never expected people to come from so far away specifically to help them cool down and relieve the heat.
Of course, they also knew that this phenomenon was all because of one person: Xiang Fangyang!
If it weren't for his livestream and his public influence, the public wouldn't have known they were suffering from the scorching heat.
More importantly, Xiang Fangyang's existence made the unity and cohesion of the entire Xihai City stronger and stronger.
In order not to cause trouble for the firefighters, many volunteers left immediately after delivering the items, not staying to watch the show.
At this moment, the cohesion of Xihai City was completely displayed.
Whenever they encounter major accidents, they will selflessly stand up.
The netizens in the livestream were moved to tears.

——【Damn, this livestream has me a bit teary-eyed; Xihai City is just too harmonious! I've decided, when I buy a house, I'm going to buy it in Xihai City. I also want to become one of them, not for anything else, just to find a sense of belonging.】
——【I'm moved, I suddenly remembered when our residential area caught fire last time, an idiot downstairs parked his car blocking the fire lane; we called him to move it and he wouldn't, and finally he just turned off his phone. How can the quality of people be so different? Fortunately, the fire truck later rammed his car away and even made that guy pay for the damages; it was so satisfying!】
——【Ahem~~ to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Xiang Fangyang digs up a volcanic eruption or something every now and then, Xihai City is indeed a good place to live long-term. The changes in this place are obvious to all, the happiness index of the people's lives is rising straight up, and the quality is naturally getting higher and higher.】
——【Damn, I'm really envious. When I just saw a beautiful woman take the initiative to open a bottle of ice water for a firefighter, I had an urge to go to Xihai City to be a firefighter! You guys hurry up and persuade me, I'm really afraid I won't be able to control myself!】
——【Brother upstairs, the Xihai City fire brigade extinguishes nukes today, volcanoes tomorrow, nuclear reactors the day after, and might take you to extinguish a core explosion the day after that. If you like walking on a tightrope every day and like an exciting and thrilling life, you can consider going. Let's put it this way: the most dangerous profession in Xihai City is not the anti-narcotics police, it's the firefighters!】
——【Awesome, the analysis makes sense. Who the hell would dare to go to Xihai City to be a firefighter now? High-risk profession! But I like challenges, thanks to the cousin for providing a good path!】
174. Everything settles, celestial phenomena (Seeking subscriptions)
The hot environment couldn't stop the determination of the city to unite and extinguish the fire.
I don't know how much time passed, but the firefighter standing at the very front suddenly shouted: "Almost there, almost there! This crack is finally about to be full!"
Everyone's faces were dripping with sweat, but they were all beaming with smiles, as if they saw the fruits of success.
But the pressure in their hearts didn't decrease.
Just this one crack alone used at least ten mixer trucks of mud slurry.
If it weren't for the sufficient number of accompanying mixer trucks, there would probably be no mud slurry available right now.
Fortunately, after the mud slurry went down, the results were also obvious; the flames in more than a dozen nearby cracks were all extinguished, leaving only a small amount of smoke.
Seeing that the crack was about to be filled, the commander shouted: "All groups disperse, seal off these extinguished cracks nearby!"
Instantly, everyone dispersed and headed to various cracks to continue pouring mud slurry.
To ensure the supply of mud slurry, the dump trucks in the rear were constantly transporting materials back and forth.
Xiang Fangyang had become an idler at this time, standing on the side watching.
He couldn't help with the matters here anymore, but he still wanted to stay and see if the fire could be extinguished steadily.
Team Leader Wang and the others were maintaining order at the scene, ensuring that the onlookers and reporters wouldn't rush in.
The entire Flaming Mountain could be described as extremely lively.
Old Cheng sat on the ground alone, his eyes listless; Xiang Fangyang naturally saw it, and couldn't help but feel a bit awkward in his heart.
But just at this moment, the vehicle from the Real Estate Resources Bureau arrived at the scene.
After Sun Chongguang got out of the car with the geological exploration team, he walked straight toward Xiang Fangyang.
While walking, he reached out his hand to greet him: "Xiang Fangyang! Long time no see!"
Xiang Fangyang was a bit embarrassed by this enthusiasm and quickly reached out to respond: "Long time no see!"
Regarding this Department Head Sun, his memory was still fresh; last time he gave money and educated his son, which made him quite comfortable.
Sun Chongguang joked with a smile: "You are the blessing of our Xihai City! Xihai City can do without me, Sun Chongguang, but it must not do without you, Xiang Fangyang!"
"This..." Xiang Fangyang was stunned; he used a big move right from the start, catching him off guard: "That... Department Head Sun, you're joking!"
"No, no! These words are not a joke. To express my gratitude to you, look, I specially made a silk banner for you!"
As soon as the words fell, the section chief behind handed over the silk banner.
Sun Chongguang immediately opened it and presented it to Xiang Fangyang: "Besides this, I represent the Xihai City Real Estate Resources Bureau in rewarding you with 5 million in cash!"
Xiang Fangyang was stunned!
Looking at the silk banner and the bank card before him, his brain couldn't turn around for a moment.
"No, Department Head Sun, what is this? I'm a bit dumbfounded!"
Sun Chongguang laughed: "Take it, this is what you deserve!"
"Well, that's great!" After saying that, he grinned and accepted it gladly; if you give money and he doesn't take it, that would be purely a husky.
The cameraman on the side also looked on with a grin, as if he had a share in this money too!
However, the next second, Xiang Fangyang suddenly thought of Old Cheng sitting on the ground.
"Ahem~~ that... Department Head Sun, let me tell you something!"
"What is it? It doesn't matter, just say it, everything will be satisfied as much as possible!"
Xiang Fangyang got goosebumps from his attitude: "It's just that this place was originally intended to be a tourist scenic area, but now that a coal mine has been discovered, the scenic area definitely can't be set up. I can be considered an involved party, and I feel a bit sorry for hurting them, so see if you can..."
Old Cheng, sitting on the ground, raised his head in shock upon hearing this and looked at Xiang Fangyang.
He had been depressed just now, but he hadn't blamed Xiang Fangyang, because he knew that if there was a coal mine here, even if it wasn't discovered today, it would be discovered after a while, and the scenic area still wouldn't be able to be set up.
It was just that the career he had been thinking about day and night had suddenly become a bubble, which was somewhat hard to accept.
But he never expected Xiang Fangyang to mention him, which made him shocked while his heart was filled with gratitude.
Upon hearing Xiang Fangyang's words, Sun Chongguang waved his hand: "I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry, this matter is on me. I occupied someone else's scenic area. Even if you didn't mention it today, I would have handled this matter properly."
"I'll give you a firm word now: it will definitely be arranged properly, absolutely better than it is now! Are you relieved now?"
Xiang Fangyang smiled upon hearing this: "With this word from you, brother, it's settled!"
Old Cheng's head was buzzing at this moment.
His mind was full of what Department Head Sun had just said.
His mood was like taking an elevator, pulled from the bottom to the peak instantly; he was so excited he forgot to speak.
The cameraman on the side saw him in a daze and quickly tugged at him: "Old Cheng, are you stupid? My brother has already paved the way for you, aren't you going to show some appreciation?"
Old Cheng reacted instantly and quickly got up to grab Xiang Fangyang's hand: "Xiang Fangyang, thank you, thank you! Thank you so much!"
Xiang Fangyang smiled: "It's only right; I ruined your place, I can't just pat my butt and leave. If you want to thank someone, thank Department Head Sun; you'll have to rely on him to help you later!"
Who would have thought Sun Chongguang would quickly wave his hand: "It's only right, it's only right. Xiang Fangyang has helped us so much, this little thing is part of my duty. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Xiang Fangyang!"
This left the cameraman and Old Cheng dumbfounded.
The two looked at each other: "Who should I thank in the end?"
"Ahem~~ you'd better thank socialism!"
Old Cheng's expression made everyone present laugh.
But no matter what, he had a place to land, and Xiang Fangyang believed Sun Chongguang wouldn't break his word.
——【Holy crap! Who used to think that whoever asked Xiang Fangyang to work was a fool? But it's different now. In the recent few times, no matter where they invited Xiang Fangyang, they received huge benefits. I'm wondering if everyone will rack their brains to invite Xiang Fangyang to work in the future, and if there will be people who would rather tear down their houses just to invite Xiang Fangyang?】
——【I haven't seen Xiang Fangyang make money recently, and I've habitually forgotten that he still needs money. In my impression, money is really just a number to a person like him. Do you believe it? If Xiang Fangyang said he wouldn't continue to participate in the program, there would be plenty of people spending a billion or even more to invite him to record the program.】
——【The comment section is all saying that giving 5 million at once is too exaggerated; I really don't know what you guys are thinking. Is 5 million a lot for what Xiang Fangyang dug up? How much is that gold mine alone worth? Not to mention the opal, the uranium mine, and now the coal mine; isn't the value of those over billions? What is 5 million compared to these!】
——【It's just that people can't stand others doing well. I've said before that Xiang Fangyang is the only person whose money-making I'm not jealous of. Why? Because his character is there; how many things has he done to benefit society and Xihai City? If I lived in their city, I would definitely treat him as a hero.】
As time passed, more and more cracks were sealed.
Perhaps because the first crack was poured with too much mud slurry, it flowed to other places, causing a large area nearby to be blocked.
The other cracks were blocked very easily.
The large area before them could no longer see flames, and couldn't even see a trace of smoke.
The firefighters walked step by step toward the vicinity of Xiang Fangyang's excavator.
This was the area where the fire was burning the most.
There were also a few explosion points from the detonators nearby.
It was clear that to seal this area, the mud slurry required would definitely be much more than before.
The facts were indeed so; more than a dozen mixer trucks were constantly inputting mud slurry, and all firefighters concentrated on pouring mud slurry into this large hole.
Although there were still skeletons inside that hadn't been dug out, they couldn't care about that much right now.
First of all, the conditions for rescue were not met, and betting the lives of firefighters for two skeletons was not worth it.
On the other hand, time was tight; the coal seam here was definitely more than four meters deep, and if it continued to burn, who knew how deep it would burn.
