“Currently pursuing, the drones have been dispatched!”
Old Zhao, panting heavily, appeared to be running fast. However, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn’t catch up, primarily because Wang Yun had already been about three kiloters ahead of them.
With such a distance, it was impossible to rely on running alone unless they had cars or bikes.
“Alright, he was heading west earlier; the drones should be able to catch up at full speed,” Wu Yaoming said. He then imdiately opened his phone and switched to the live feed from the program inspectors.
The drone footage was transmitted directly.
Even though the air turbulence was sowhat unstable, the drone could still manage to fly steadily. Additionally, this was the latest-generation, most advanced drone. Its stability, speed, and battery life were all top-notch.
In just five minutes, it had already surpassed Old Zhao and his group.

anwhile, Wang Yun continued sprinting at full speed. But no matter how fast a human ran, they could never outrun technology.
Soon, Wang Yun heard a buzzing sound overhead.
Looking up, he saw a drone approaching.
“They’ve found us!”
Wu Yaoming and his team looked at the footage, and the screen showed the three figures running.
“Boss!”
Brother Hu also heard the sound and saw the drone heading their way.
“I see it. Run faster, head inside. There’s a lavender field up ahead, go there,” Wang Yun shouted.
Before arriving, he had already scouted the area and knew that the coastal amusent park had an artificial lavender field.
Inside the lavender field, the plants were taller than a person. Although they were artificial, they were almost indistinguishable from the real thing, designed for tourists to take photos.
As soon as they entered, their bodies would instantly be hidden.
With the ongoing earthquake and heavy rain, the lavender plants swayed, making it even harder to spot them.
This was Wang Yun’s final plan.
Furthermore, the lavender field connected to other public amusent facilities nearby. The entrances to these attractions were designed to be complex, with long tunnels for tourists to queue under, shielding them from the sun.
Once they entered these facilities, there would be exits at a significant distance.
By the ti their pursuers discovered them again, Wang Yun and his team would already be long gone.
The three of them pushed themselves to their limits. They ran with all their remaining energy toward the lavender field.

anwhile, Zhao Youcheng, watching the drone footage, felt a growing sense of unease as he saw their destination.
“Quick, check what’s ahead in the direction Wang Yun and his team are heading.”
Zhao Youcheng kept running, still trying his best to catch up.
However, due to his age, the program inspectors had already outpaced him.
“I’ll check right now,” Alfa, still in the tent, responded quickly.
He was about the sa age as Zhao Youcheng but lacked his physical fitness. After all, one dealt with military matters, while the other worked in geographical research, often confined to an office. Physical fitness naturally varied.
Alfa quickly located where Wang Yun was heading in less than a minute.
“The coastal amusent park! They’re heading into the amusent park!” Alfa shouted excitedly.
Sitting beside Alfa, Captain Marley frowned deeply.
As he examined the map of the amusent park’s attractions and noted the lavender field closest to Wang Yun, he instantly realized sothing.
“No, Wang Yun is heading for the lavender field! The tall plants inside can completely hide them,” Marley exclaid urgently.
Alfa turned to look at him, perplexed.
Marley quickly explained, “In so races I’ve participated in before, organizers often included such areas. The goal was to add an elent of mystery, to keep spectators from knowing which contestant was in the lead. At the sa ti, these spots allowed organizers to create obstacles—after all, no one could see what was happening inside. Only upon exiting would contestants return to the main caras’ view. This is a known gray area in our industry.”
Marley awkwardly admitted.
In such competitions, unless hosted by official organizations, there were often hidden sches.
Of course, all participants were aware of this and were far from naive. Upon identifying such areas, they’d always be prepared, often using it as an opportunity to turn the tables.
This was one of the reasons their competitions were so thrilling—filled with drama, rivalries, and strategy.
“Intercept them! Find a way to intercept them,” Zhao Youcheng shouted.
Simultaneously, he studied the amusent park map in his hand.
The surrounding attractions all connected to large structures. If Wang Yun managed to escape into them, capturing him would beco nearly impossible.
At that mont, Wu Yaoming stood by the helicopter, his expression grim and said, “There’s no way to intercept them now. All the program inspectors are at the parking lot. Unless… unless the tourists still inside can create chaos and stop them!”
