96: Video from the camera

"Hello everyone, I am Zhao Yuling, a reporter from Chunjiang News Station. This station will continue to report on the latest situation of the Annan debris flow. We are currently on a helicopter, and everyone can see the situation below; the mountain road leading to Xiushui Village has been completely blocked."

Qiu Gu turned the lens, gasping for breath, and leaned against the helicopter cabin.

"From the current situation, if rescue is needed, a helicopter must be used; the mountain road is impassable. The helicopter we are on this time was provided by a fan of Gao Xiaofan, the person missing in this debris flow. It must be said that Gao Xiaofan is lucky to have such fans."

The start of the Chunjiang News Station's livestream room broadcast at night didn't cause a ripple at first, but after less than a minute of silence, the number of viewers skyrocketed.

At the same time, over 2,000 fan groups pinned the link to the Chunjiang News Station's livestream room.

1,000 people, 100,000 people, 10 million people.

The exponential growth caused the Chunjiang News Station's livestream room to lag momentarily, and at the same time, it reached the top spot in popularity on TikTok's livestream room.

The official platform provided support, quickly contacting the Station Manager of Chunjiang News Station. After understanding the situation, they adjusted the traffic transmission to the maximum in the backend and moved the livestream room server to a top-tier space; the livestream room footage quickly became smooth.

Meanwhile, the Station Manager was still dazed after hanging up the phone.

Arrived at Annan in just one hour? Already broadcasting? Popularity over ten million?

The Station Manager pinched his face, then hurriedly called a meeting and quickly opened his phone.

When several management members arrived at the meeting room, they all stared dumbfounded at the screen projection, swallowing hard.

Popularity over a hundred million?

The livestream room backend data showed 100 million people watching the livestream.

Was this their own livestream room?

"This is the original site of Xiushui Village. We can see that Xiushui Village has been covered by mud; the former Xiushui Village is gone, and the momentum of the debris flow is still incredibly fierce." Saying this, Zhao Yuling's voice choked up, unable to hold it back.

Seeing it on the news and seeing it in person were completely different. Looking at the surging mud below, she, who was already worried, almost broke down.

Hearing Zhao Yuling's voice from the livestream room, the management members who had just entered were certain that this was indeed their station's livestream room.

But how did it end up in the sky?

Everyone looked puzzled, but seeing the Station Manager staring excitedly at the big screen, no one asked.

"Now we will head to the place where Gao Xiaofan first disappeared and begin a slow search. Everyone, please stay tuned; this station will broadcast for you in real-time."

In the comments, the bullet chat was non-stop.

"Brother Quan has made his move!"

"Brother Fan doesn't just have Brother Quan; he also has you, Sister-in-law~ It's enviable."

"Sister-in-law? Isn't this a reporter?"

"Old fans know that she is the only woman who appeared in Brother Wo Zi's livestream, and she is also the one who made Brother Wo Zi famous~"

"You have an objection to her being the Sister-in-law? Just for the fact that she came to find Brother Wo Zi immediately, I support this marriage."

Zhao Yuling wiped away a tear, put down the microphone, took the Camera from Qiu Gu's hand, carried it on her small shoulder, and steadily aimed the lens at the murky debris flow below.

The airflow disturbed by the high-speed helicopter and the whistling wind seemed to echo the surging roar of the valley.

Qiu Gu kept pointing the way, and soon, they arrived at the large body of water where they had first been fishing.

Qiu Gu looked at the mud lake that stretched as far as the eye could see, couldn't help but swallow, and leaned against the window to search continuously.

Suddenly, Qiu Gu's eyes lit up, and he pointed at a tree below that was tilted and teetering.

"My Camera, my Camera!!!"

Hearing this, Zhao Fu, who was in front, looked in the direction Qiu Gu was pointing, but saw nothing.

After glancing at Qiu Gu, Zhao Fu gestured to the pilot and pointed downward.

The helicopter descended rapidly and hovered in the air.

Getting closer, they indeed found the Camera hanging on the tree, bobbing up and down under the impact of the mud waves. The entire body was covered in yellow; if they hadn't brought Qiu Gu, it would have been impossible to find.

"Is the Camera useful?" Zhao Fu spoke for the first time since the broadcast began.

Qiu Gu thought for a moment and nodded: "It should be. The Camera is waterproof, and there's a Memory Card inside; we should be able to see the final scenes."

Zhao Fu nodded, flipped himself to the back, pulled a rope buckle from the tail of the cabin, and clipped it to himself.

Inside the cabin, Zhao Yuling and Qiu Gu looked at him in shock.

What does this guy want to do?

Zhao Yuling subconsciously turned the lens toward him, her mouth quivering.

In the moment before the two could react, Zhao Fu pulled open the helicopter cabin door and leaped out with a calm face.

Zhao Yuling threw herself onto the seat, gripping the Camera tightly, her hands trembling as the lens focused on the leaping Zhao Fu.

"Everyone... you should have seen it. We... just found the Camera left behind by the Xiushui Mingshan Program Group. This is also the place where Gao Xiaofan was last seen. Perhaps the Camera can help us find Gao Xiaofan."

"Uh, you saw it, Gao Xiaofan's fan jumped down..."

As she spoke, Zhao Yuling didn't know what else to say; her mind really couldn't process it. Was this something a normal person could do?

The audience in the livestream room was shocked.

Strong Hand Cracks Skull: "To be honest, I don't even deserve to use this ID."

Fishing Should Be Like Wo Zi Ge: "My wife asked me why I kept shaking while watching the livestream. I slapped her; Brother Quan is going out, what's wrong with me shaking in excitement~"

"It's one thing for Brother Wo Zi to be a showman, but his fans are this good at it too?"

Online ID: "No, he's not a fan; he's Brother Fan's Number One General~ Hiss, how terrifying~"

While everyone was still in shock, they saw Zhao Fu in the lens already holding the Camera. He gave a hard tug with his right hand, the machine body shook, and then the sound of a winch came from the tail of the cabin. Zhao Fu was pulled up with a calm expression.

"Check it; there's a computer here too. See if there are any clues."

Zhao Fu, covered in mud, shook himself off casually and sat back in the front seat, but this time he turned around, his eyes fixed on the Camera.

Qiu Gu nodded. He also really wanted to know what happened after he left. He wiped the Camera with his clothes, and after the water around the Memory Card slot was completely dry, he carefully opened it.

Looking at the clean slot inside, Qiu Gu nodded excitedly. Without hesitation, he quickly pulled out the Memory Card and connected it to the Laptop.

Zhao Yuling also turned the lens to the screen, waiting with anticipation. Perhaps Xiaofan had escaped before the debris flow.

The footage fast-forwarded and then slowly slowed down, beginning to play.

"debris flow!!! debris flow!!! Go back and notify them!"

"What are you standing there for! Run!"

"I'll wait for you, let's go together~"

"Wait for what! It's not like I don't know how to run!"

"Once the debris flow gains momentum, not a single person in xiushui village will be spared!!!"
