Chapter 646: Six hundred forty-one, save people!

The person who had passed out naturally couldn’t drink water directly.

Otherwise, it would be easy for the water to go straight into the windpipe, causing trouble.

After dabbing a bit of water on him, it served to replenish the middle-aged man a little.

It was at this time that the middle-aged man’s complexion had turned from flushed to pale.

It seemed he wouldn’t hold on much longer.

Gu Chen set the water aside and pulled out a bill from his bag to hand to the old man.

The old man quickly waved his hand in refusal.

"Young man, what’s going on here?" he asked Gu Chen.

The old man had a deep impression of Gu Chen, for when Gu Chen had gone up the mountain, he had spent lavishly at his place, and even helped him explain the hardship of why things were expensive.

"He seems to be a hiker who fainted on the way up the mountain."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, the people around were startled.

Fainted on the mountain? Had Gu Chen carried him all the way down?

How could that be possible, with such a long distance up the mountain, could Gu Chen have carried him down?

Upon hearing this, the old man hurried over to check on the middle-aged man’s condition.

"It looks like he’s not going to make it. I’ve seen all sorts of people over the years, and every year there are those who literally die of exhaustion on this mountain. It seems like he’s reached The Gate of the Ghost."

After the old man said this, many people gasped in shock.

Die of exhaustion? Was this strong man really about to die from fatigue?

At this moment, Gu Chen didn’t waste any more words, stuffing the money into the old man’s hands.

Time waits for no one; he needed to hurry and get this person down the mountain.

When the old man saw this, he quickly shook his head.

"Young man, you have a good heart, but I can’t take this money," the old man said, refusing the bill that Gu Chen offered.

The people around felt a touch of warmth when they witnessed this.

The old man, who had just seemed as cunning as a black-market dealer, was now speaking such words.

Hearing this, Gu Chen didn’t linger. He didn’t have the time, either.

He hoisted the man onto his back and continued running down the mountain.

Watching Gu Chen’s retreating figure, the onlookers looked at each other.

Frankly, what Gu Chen was doing was something they couldn’t possibly do themselves.

It wasn’t just about being helpful; it was downright risking his life.

It was dangerous enough for one person to ascend and descend the mountain, yet Gu Chen was forcibly carrying another person.

Gu Chen didn’t think much of it; he didn’t have the mental capacity to think any more.

All he could concentrate on was one thing: to get to the bottom of the mountain as quickly as possible.

Another hour or so passed.

Gu Chen finally arrived at the entrance to the hiking trail.

There he saw many people geared up and ready to climb the mountain.

Among them, there was even a journalist facing the camera.

"Today, behind me, is the famous Dai Mountain."

"As we all know, Dai Mountain is a dual World Heritage Site of culture and nature.

It has been regarded by all the ancients as a road to heaven. On Dai Mountain, we can find many sites of the ’Immortals,’ which were worshiped by Emperors, and many Emperors across dynasties would come to Dai Mountain..."

The journalist was explaining everything about Dai Mountain to the camera.

But very soon, at that moment, everyone turned to look up the mountain.

Even the photographer who came with the journalist couldn’t help but look up the mountain.

Even while holding the camera, he ever so slightly aimed it up the slope.

The reporter furrowed his brows before turning his head.

On the mountain at that moment, a young man was seen frantically running down the mountain with a man on his back.

The pace was terrifyingly fast, faster than any of their climbing speeds.

As the saying goes, "It’s easier to go up the mountain than to come down," but this seemed to have no bearing on the young man.

When the reporters caught sight of Gu Chen, they were startled; however, they quickly crowded around.

Their photographer was also hurriedly following behind.

All the climbers were standing on the sides of the road at this time, looking up as though they were watching a monster as they observed Gu Chen.

The moment Gu Chen rushed over, the reporter dashed up to him.

Upon approaching, the reporter immediately asked Gu Chen, "Sir, hello, can you tell me what’s happening?" he hurriedly inquired.

After hearing the question, Gu Chen waved his hand, having no time to answer.

Besides, Gu Chen didn’t have the energy to spare; he could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he might not last much longer.

Managing to run down from the mountain for such a long distance, Gu Chen felt his body was reaching its limits.

If it weren’t for the nourishment from Spiritual Spring on numerous occasions before, he probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on at all.

Seeing that Gu Chen did not respond, the reporter continued to press, "Sir, what happened?"

"Rescue!"

Gu Chen replied with just these two words before he quickly left.

There was simply no time for anything else.

Everyone watched Gu Chen run down the mountain, clueless as to the situation.

Finally reaching the flat ground at the base of the mountain, Gu Chen took a deep breath, feeling a multitude of emotions.

Who would have thought that he would encounter such an ordeal in his lifetime?

Gu Chen placed the man onto his car and then hurriedly drove at top speed towards the city hospital.

On the way there, Gu Chen had done some research just in case of emergencies like this.

Of course, his research had been intended for the safety of his family of three, never imagining it could be applied in this situation.

It took about ten minutes of driving.

Gu Chen brought the man to the hospital, hastily registered him, and arranged for the emergency room.

Gu Chen briefly explained to the doctor what had happened.

Afterward, he sat down in the hospital corridor to rest for a while.

The soles of his shoes were already worn through from the run down, indicating the torment of the journey.

Gu Chen realized that the mountain climbing that was supposed to be exercise for Sugar turned out to be exercise for himself.

Not too much time had passed before a doctor came over and asked Gu Chen to take care of the payment.

Looking at the bill, Gu Chen found that it was not too expensive, a little over eight hundred yuan.

As the saying goes, "Send the Buddha to the West," so he went directly to the hospital cashier to pay the medical fees and all that.

After paying, Gu Chen continued to sit there and wait.

About two hours later, the emergency room light went out.

The doctors came out at that time.

Gu Chen stepped forward, curiously asking, "How is he?"

"He suffered from excessive physical exhaustion and had a heart condition as well, so he had a sudden illness," the doctor replied. "Luckily you brought him in time. If it had been a bit later, it would have been too late."
