Ying Yuezi assud her teammate was seeing things. They were approximately 500 ters from the base of the mountain, a place cluttered with weeds that could easily trick the eye. More critically, the mountain seed utterly unclimbable.
“I’ve reached the base of the mountain. Captain Dragon Hand, are you sure Wang Yun is still ahead?”
Ying Yuezi and Wu Yaoming had already arrived. To avoid startling their target, they took up a concealed position about 200 ters from the foot of the mountain.
“Positive. He has been in front of us the whole ti. Plus, you all are converging from all directions, he has no chance to divert his path,” Captain Dragon Hand responded confidently.
Even though he hadn’t seen Wang Yun for a long ti. He trusted his deductions.
“I’ll be there in ten more minutes. Be careful not to reveal yourselves. Wang Yun is extrely alert,” Wang Yue cautioned.
At that mont, excitent and tension were etched on the faces of Ying Yuezi and the others.
“Just a bit longer, and they would finally bring Wang Yun to justice.”
Soon, Wang Yue and Wu Mingyu’s teams also arrived. Captain Dragon Hand’s group was considerably slower due to their significant energy depletion from the earlier intense engagent with Wang Yun. Kolyev’s group was too far away, still half an hour from reaching the scene.
The three groups–led by Wang Yue, Captain Dragon Hand, and Ying Yuezi–had successfully assembled, bringing together over 300 program inspectors. Their faces were etched with tension.
As ti passed, their expressions grew increasingly grave.
“Ying Yuezi, it’s been fifteen minutes since you arrived here,” Wu Mingyu noted with an intense look. “Wang Yun’s figure still hasn’t appeared. Sothing’s off!”
Ying Yuezi also furrowed her brows, troubled. According to what Captain Dragon Hand had previously reported, Wang Yun should have already reached the base of the mountain by now.
“Wait a bit longer. Wang Yun is bound to co this way. I’ve had my n spread out around the periter. No matter where he tries to run, as long as he’s near the base of this mountain, he will definitely be spotted,” Captain Dragon Hand said.
Though his tone was resolute, his expression had stiffened sowhat.
“Wang Yun cannot escape. He must not be allowed to! He killed twenty-seven of my n, including setting traps with bombs and poison in advance. I am determined to avenge them,” Captain Dragon Hand said through gritted teeth.
You could almost hear the grinding of his teeth in his words. Wu Mingyu’s deanor was similarly grave.
“I’ve lost seven n on my end.”
“I lost five and captured one of the assassins.”
“Two.”
Each captain was reporting their losses at this mont. For them, the elimination of their program inspectors was not just a matter of disappointnt and sorrow but also a direct affront from Wang Yun.
“Did you catch him?”
As the captains shared a mont of contemplative silence, Kolyev, drenched in sweat, hurried over to them. The sight of him caused a synchronized chill to run through everyone.
Kolyev’s was here.
“You didn’t find Wang Yun?” Wu Yaoming stepped forward, his expression fraught with urgency.
Kolyev looked perplexed and said, “Didn’t you guys get here early? Wasn’t Wang Yun supposed to be running in that direction? No way! Did he escape?”
Kolyev’s shocked exclamation sent a wave of disbelief through the crowd. The reality was too daunting to consider.
But with Kolyev’s arrival, it ant that twenty-five minutes had passed. Twenty-five minutes in which Wang Yun should have already made it here.
“Spread out, hurry up!” Captain Dragon Hand commanded. “Wang Yun must be hiding sowhere. We’ve definitely been exposed! He’s still on the mountain. He definitely wouldn’t dare co down!”
By the end of his words, Captain Dragon Hand was almost roaring. He was teetering on the edge of collapse.
Although he said that, knowing Wang Yun’s character, would he really hide?
No, he wouldn’t. He would choose to escape.
anwhile, the person they were cursing had already climbed to the mountainside. The audience in the livestream gasped with every move Wang Yun made.
Wang Yun glanced down at the base of the mountain. From this height, he could only see the tops of the trees. The specifics of the ground situation were obscured. The dense foliage blocked all views, and with it being night, even soone with Wang Yun’s exceptional vision couldn’t see through.
However, he could guess that the program inspection teams were likely waiting in ambush at the base of the mountain.
Thinking this, Wang Yun felt a surge of secret glee.
“Brothers, have you ever seen the night view from the mountains? You haven’t seen a night view from cliffs like these, have you?”
Wang Yun, in high spirits, engaged in conversation with the viewers in the livestream.
He was now fifteen ters above the base of the mountain. These fifteen ters should not be underestimated. It was equivalent to the height of more than ten floors.
“Big Brother, please, no more talking!”
“Watch your step, bro, my legs have gone numb!”
“Your legs are numb? My blood pressure’s shooting through the roof! I’m a 60-year-old man, and watching this brother’s moves is just too thrilling!”
“666! Even a sixty-year-old calls Wang Yun ‘brother’. Not just you, I’ve gone through two diapers already!”
“Mommy, I’m scared of heights! Don’t look down anymore, Big Brother. I’m getting dizzy!”
The audience began to wail and shout. First-person perspective climbing is nerve-wracking for anyone, especially without any safety asures.
“Phew! That rock is a bit far,” Wang Yun’s voice ca again.
He had wedged his right foot into a rock crevice and was clinging to another with his right hand. Using the sa hand and foot, he minimized his leverage points.
Moreover, the most challenging part was that the next available grip, a small rock, was four and a half ters up. Besides that tiny rock, there were no other crevices for his legs to find purchase on, and the rock was only as wide as three fingers.
This was by far the most demanding test Wang Yun had faced.
“Let’s try. If I don’t make it, at least I went out trying. I’m already halfway up, there’s no going back now.”
Wang Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with determination.
Carefully, he maneuvered his body into the optimal position. Then, focusing on the small rock ahead, he simultaneously powered through his right arm and leg.
“Heh!”
With a sharp exhalation, Wang Yun seized the small stone. His three fingers clung to it like iron tongs, veins on his arms and forehead bulging instantaneously. His legs dangled in the air, swaying uncontrollably as a gust of wind blew.
“Shit! This is bad.”
