Chapter 144: Wang Yun Wins, Heading to a New City

The Captains of the various program inspection teams paused briefly, taken aback by the words of Captain Coniso and the blonde middle-aged Captain from West Country. Their expressions shifted as they gazed toward the entrance of the tunnel.

“One possibility is that Wang Yun possesses knowledge in pharmacology. He excluded all ingredients he couldn’t confirm were free of poison, preventing his men from consuming them,” a Captain from the West Country’s program inspection team speculated, his face etched with contemplation. “He made sure his subordinates only ate what he could guarantee was safe.”

“This makes me think that Wang Yun might not have eaten any of the hot pot himself. Even if his subordinates were poisoned, he could demand an antidote from us and retaliate immediately,” he added thoughtfully.

“Sigh, exactly, it’s very likely. Trying to take him down with poison seems too improbable, considering Wang Yun’s demonstrated intellect. It’s tough to catch him off guard like this,” lamented a Captain from another country’s program inspection team, expressing a sense of resignation.

If Wang Yun and his group had completely abstained from those ingredients, it could have been attributed to their caution. But now, not only did they partake in the hot pot, but they also meticulously removed any ingredients they suspected were poisoned. Most crucially, they did so openly, in full view of their opponents, unabashedly indulging in the hot pot.

It was an explicit humiliation, an outright domination.

The Captains of the program inspection teams silently sighed. At this moment, they had truly witnessed how formidable Wang Yun was.

“Can you believe it? Did Wang Yun really sift out all the ingredients laced with toxins?”

“Is he that good? His extensive knowledge in the medical field is just too impressive!”

“Not only is Brother Wang Yun the most formidable human on the planet, I think he also possesses the broadest range of knowledge in the world!”

“666, Big Brother is just too epic. This goes beyond seeing through their plans. It’s an outright domination by eliminating any potentially toxic ingredients before consuming the rest!”

“Big Brother is still invincible as ever. The inspection teams have no way to deal with him. His subordinates freely mock them, while the inspection Captains are left powerless!”

In every live stream, viewers watching this spectacle were engaged in discussions and expressions of amazement. Wang Yun always managed to surprise them, leaving them astounded every time.

At the forefront of Longshan Tunnel, the Captains of the program inspection teams felt completely helpless.

After their strategy failed, they were left without any further options, resigned to waiting in frustration.

As time ticked away, an hour swiftly passed, and Wang Yun’s subordinates finished their hotpot meal, stretching and moving their bodies around. They even loudly proclaimed that moving after a meal helps with digestion, adding insult to injury for the program inspection Captains, who could only watch with darkened expressions.

“Can someone ask what Wang Yun actually plans to do?”

Two hours quickly elapsed, prompting the Captain Dragon Hand to turn to Captain Everick from the United States, urging him to ask about Wang Yun’s actual plan.

“Okay, I just don’t know if he’ll even pick up,” Captain Everick, with a stern expression, nodded and used the phone provided by a hostage to redial Wang Yun’s number.

As soon as the call connected, Wang Yun’s voice was heard, “I’m currently busy making disguise masks. Is there something you need? If it’s nothing important, please don’t disturb me.”

Hearing this, Captain Everke’s face turned dark, he bit down hard on his teeth and growled softly, “Wang Yun, what are you really up to?”

“I’m working on finishing all the masks, and then I’ll be leaving Nancheng. To make all these masks might take me upwards of ten hours, so I’d appreciate a bit of patience from you. Actually, you don’t need to stake out the entrance, it’s useless. I’ve got too many hostages here. Moving forward, I’ll try to minimize taking hostages.”

Wang Yun’s calm voice continued to filter through, leaving Captain Everick momentarily speechless, his expression shifting darkly. He remained silent.

What more could he say under these circumstances?

Wang Yun’s tone was akin to casual conversation among close friends.

Have you eaten?

Yes, had a hotpot, and it was decent.

Feeling heavy?

No worries, I’m busy here!

It was infuriatingly casual, making him feel both enraged and powerless. He glanced at the other program Captains nearby.

“We’ve got no choice but to wait and try to predict which city he might target next and plan accordingly,” Captain Wang Yue said, massaging her forehead.

The rest of the program Captains fell into a somber silence. At this moment, there truly seemed to be no viable strategy.

“Let’s start preparing for our next moves,” Captain Everick said, his face shadowed with grimness.

At that moment, from the phone in Captain Everick’s hand, Wang Yun’s voice was heard once more, “Yes, go ahead and make your next moves. I have already secured an unbeatable position.”

The Captains of the various program inspection teams looked on. Captain Everick was left dumbfounded and seething with anger, utterly overwhelmed by his emotions. He quickly ended the call and took out a cigarette from his pocket to alleviate the tension.

***

“Man, hahaha, wasn’t that just hilarious?”

“Did Big Brother just openly share his plan with all the inspection teams?”

“That’s brutally cunning. And Captain Everick, oh so hilarious, discussing plans without hanging up!”

“And the cherry on top! Big Brother actually responding, hahaha, too hilarious!”

Within the livestream, everyone witnessing this scene couldn’t help but erupt in laughter. It was just absolutely hilarious.

However, it also signified a total defeat for the various program inspection teams. True to Wang Yun’s words, with hundreds of hostages now in his hands, he had established an unbeatable position.

Next, he planned to move to another city with the hostages in tow.

The Captains of the various program inspection teams began to speculate on Wang Yun’s next possible destination.

As time ticked away, Wang Yun completed the disguise masks. However, this time, he needed to create more masks than usual, which extended the production time. With materials for a hundred masks, Wang Yun aimed to initially make eighty. He decided to store the remaining materials, potentially creating more masks later as needed.

Time swiftly flew by.

Wang Yun spent an entire day in a standoff with the program inspection teams at Longshan Tunnel. After finishing all the masks, he took some time to rest, much to the relief of night owl netizens who realized they could take a break too.

Upon waking, Wang Yun had controlled Longshan Tunnel for an entire day.

“Alright, time to leave,” Wang Yun, fully recharged after his sleep, murmured to himself.

Now, it was off to the next city.

He had already decided on his destination, Xiyun City.
