Liang Zhaoye's account was banned.
The reasons: spreading dangerous technology, causing panic, and exploiting public safety concerns.
The whole internet burst out laughing.
"Some amateur researcher thinks he's a city rescue expert now?"
"He can fix old batteries? Drink muddy water? Predict bursts in utility pipes?"
"The platform should ban him for good."
Liang Zhaoye didn't explain.
That night, torrential rain bore down on the city. The old district lost power, underground pipelines sent out one alarm after another, and more than three hundred people were trapped in a neighborhood on the verge of collapse.
The emergency center couldn't access the data.
The expert team couldn't wait for a second assessment.
But the platform's admin system received a single, icy request:
[Account temporarily unblocked. Purpose: evacuate residents.]
The livestream came back on.
Liang Zhaoye faced the camera and said:
"Don't send gifts."
"Follow the route I've marked."
Ten minutes later, the ground collapsed.
Not a single person was lost.
From that day on, everyone knew the city had gained an unofficial failsafe, one that couldn't be included in formal emergency plans, yet no one could afford to ignore.
