Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 746 - 747 Ordinary Yet Great

By the time Yu Yanyu and his group were led aside, not only Yu Yanyu but even the other celebrities wore a hint of bewilderment on their faces.

Did it just... pass so gently?

Strangely, some celebrities actually felt that this reality show was quite humane.

However, they were always proven wrong.

All morning, they were engaged in drills with no chance to slack off, doubting their lives as if they were dogs.

No, a dog’s life was much better, as they at least could go for walks and turns, but they could not.

Since their group was small, the new soldier instructors immediately called over a few brothers and provided one-on-one correction, a treatment that made the celebrities feel extremely "spoiled and amazed," unable to slack off even if they wanted.

According to the aging firefighters, the drills in the fire brigade were actually formations.

First drill, quick deployment of the water cannon.

This method required 7 people fully equipped. They had to grab the water cannon and hose, carry demolition tools, connect the hose, stand by with a 6-meter ladder, start the water pump, and spray water to extinguish fire... The firefighters each fulfilled their role, working together at a fast pace to perform a series of actions.

This drill was the most basic hose deployment tactic. Seven people needed to coordinate tacitly to deploy the hose as quickly as possible, making it highly practical in real situations.

Second drill, high-altitude firefighting.

On the training ground, there was a four-story building about 18 meters high. Five firefighters stood in front of the building, and at one command, some would hold the ladder foot, others the ladder beam, together lifting a 120-kilogram three-section ladder.

Once at the building, they would pull, prop, and push. The firefighters quickly set the ladder up, then like raising a flag, they pulled on the rope to raise the ladder, which extended 15 meters high in an instant and leaned against the fourth story’s windowsill. One firefighter needed to rush to the fourth floor in 5 seconds.

This "tactic" was mainly used for rescue operations in three to four-story buildings and was called "Climbing the 15-meter Ladder Drill." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Furthermore, there were third drills such as well rescue and so on, totaling 38 different drill tactics, covering nearly all hazardous situations. Firefighters’ daily training revolved around these drills.

When not responding to emergencies, emphasis was placed on practicing these drills and Yu Yanyu and others had already experienced three different drill tactics that morning, with very tight scheduling.

Like with the second drill’s high-altitude firefighting, Yu Yanyu found it particularly difficult to proceed with the training because he had acrophobia. He felt dizzy as soon as he was up in the air.

In this segment, a professional firefighter could rush to the fourth floor in 5 seconds. The celebrities, lacking the physical fitness, obviously couldn’t achieve this in such a short time, but most could make it to the fourth floor within a minute.

Yu Yanyu initially forced himself, but only managed to climb halfway before his body uncontrollably started shaking, and he was unable to move upwards.

The new soldier instructor sensed something was wrong, and promptly asked if something had happened.

Yu Yanyu found his fear of heights somewhat embarrassing and clenched his teeth without speaking.

It was Qin Siqin who recalled their time shooting commercials. Yu Yanyu had mentioned his fear of heights, which is why, during the scene where he had to shout from a mountain top, a stand-in was used.

Qin Siqin hurriedly told the instructor, "Instructor, he has acrophobia!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongzhi quickly shouted for Yu Yanyu to come down, "Hey, if you have acrophobia, don’t go up there. Just stay down here and steady the ladder. Why try to show off!"

The behavior of the instructor really shocked all the celebrities.

Generally, in reality shows, conflicts among celebrities are intensified, and the common approach is, "I know you are afraid of this, but one must be bold enough to face challenges, so I hope you can overcome it."

But overcoming it is not always that smooth, and if it were, it wouldn’t be a point of fear for some people anymore.

Some celebrities choose to confront their fears on camera, while others simply cannot handle it and walk off the set.

Following the usual script, walking off the set would create more dramatic moments than the former, not only intensifying the conflict but also making the audience look forward to what comes next, wondering what the instructor and the celebrities will do.

Will the celebrities really quit, or after persuasion, will they decide to challenge themselves? These are all great material to work with.

What they didn’t expect was that "Rescue 5 Hours" completely broke the norm and called Yu Yanyu down immediately.

This was certainly interesting, different from the reality shows they had filmed before.

After Yu Yanyu came down, he stood there sullenly alone until the training instructor patted his shoulder:

"What’s there to be angry about? I’m even afraid of spiders! Whenever I see a spider on the wall, I call my wife to deal with it. She’s afraid of cockroaches, so I take care of those. Instead of sulking, why not take more time to get familiar with the formations and set off to practice sooner, rescuing more people from fire scenes?"

Yu Yanyu nodded heavily, his expression resolute, "I will try my best!"

"Hey, don’t be too stressed. In a fire scene engulfed in flames, the lives of others press on you. Under such pressure, believe me, you’ll perform faster than anyone."

Yu Yanyu asked curiously, "In fire scenes, aren’t you afraid?"

Wei Hongzhi answered without hesitation, "Afraid? Of course. I have an aging family and children. I’m more afraid of dying than anyone. I don’t want to die either, so every time I’m at a fire scene, I do everything I can to quickly rescue people. Once that’s done, my mind is much at ease."

Yu Yanyu: "Aren’t you afraid of explosive gases at fire scenes exploding suddenly during rescue operations?"

Wei Hongzhi replied calmly, "Chemical products are common not just in factories but in residential areas as well. Going into a fire to rescue seldom proceeds without incident. It’s frightening at first, but you get used to it after a while."

Yu Yanyu held back, but couldn’t help asking further, "And you’re not afraid of dying in an explosion?"

"Afraid? Of course. There are few in the world who truly aren’t afraid of death. But some things have to be done despite the fear. If others are unwilling, and I am, then I am the one who shows up."

A hint of brilliance shimmered on Wei Hongzhi’s ordinary face, making Yu Yanyu look at him with deep respect.

He murmured quietly, "Aren’t you afraid of making your family sad..."

"Afraid, but I hope more that they understand my profession. Those of us in this line of work value life perhaps more than the average person. What I can promise them is that I’ll make quick decisions in fire scenes and not lose my life due to incorrect operations."

Yu Yanyu fell silent, his expression complex, "Have you never thought about leaving this line of work for a safer job?"

Wei Hongzhi shook his head, "No job is truly safe, and I love this profession. It’s worth the struggle to me.

Everyone has their own likes, and what I love is saving other people’s lives, pulling them out of the flames. It makes me feel very valuable."
