Mr. Fang’s outburst caused panic among the viewers watching the livestream. One by one, they began to denounce the situation.

“What the hell! Are they making a show with their lives?”

“The production team has gone too far. You should have stopped this immediately!”

“I think you guys are being a bit extreme. If you were on the production team, what would you do? Have Wang Yun surrender right away? They already made the situation as safe as possible!”

“Safe my ass! To the person above, you have no idea what you’re talking about!”

“This was Wang Yun’s own choice. He’s willing to do it. He’s willing to take risks for the money. His subordinates are also willing to follow him. Should the program team just make him surrender?”

“The person above has a point, but if something does go wrong, the production team will definitely have to take the blame!”

“Stop arguing, everyone. Brother Wang Yun will definitely be fine. He already flew once before!”

The livestream was abuzz with heated discussions. But the unified thought was that the production team had indeed gone a bit too far.

At this moment, the executive producer looked helpless and very worried. He said nothing, staring intently at the perspective showing Wang Yun. He had only one wish. Even if Wang Yun got caught, he hoped Wang Yun would be safe. He didn’t want the show to end in tragedy. Even if Wang Yun got captured and the show’s popularity faded, forcing this season to end, he could still leverage the hype to make a second and third season. But if someone died, not only would the show be over, but he would also be in deep trouble.

As Wang Yun leaped off the cliff, the surrounding scenery quickly blurred past. This time, the speed was much faster than before. Perhaps it was because it was night, making the visual experience even more thrilling.

“Head east! As long as you keep your eyes on the east, your body will naturally steer in that direction,” Wang Yun shouted as he flew.

The speed was incredible, and a helicopter followed overhead. Wang Yun didn’t even glance at it. He knew they wouldn’t dare to shoot recklessly or get too close. He was gambling that these people wouldn’t have the same audacity as he did.

To be honest, what he was doing could be considered cheating. But to save his life, he couldn’t care less.

“Captain, Wang Yun and his men have taken off. They’re moving fast. Should we shoot?” one of the program inspectors on the helicopter asked.

Wang Yue was running towards the rear, gasping for breath as she spoke into the radio, “Wait until they land on the eastern hillside. Open fire immediately then. Don’t engage from the helicopter. Don’t get too close either. The wind from your rotors will affect them. It’s too dangerous.”

Hardy’s voice also came through the radio, “Yes, exactly. Even though this is a show, safety is paramount. Besides, we need them alive. A corpse won’t do us any good.”

Despite being furious with Wang Yun for seriously injuring him before, Hardy still adhered to his principles when it came to matters of life and death.

Wang Yun had won this gamble.

He had expected that the helicopter would be used effectively against him. However, the helicopter’s constant surveillance was still a problem. Once they landed, it would be a thorny issue for them. It seemed unlikely that all five of them would get away unscathed this time.

The wind noise grew louder and louder around his ears. The biggest difference between a wingsuit and a hang glider was that the wingsuit had much less drag. In a vertical descent, it would use the strong wind to glide quickly. The downside was that the speed was too fast and hard to control, making it difficult to manage direction. There were pros and cons.

Wang Yun was fine. This wasn’t his first time using such a device. But Brother Hu and Old Song were clearly having some trouble. Their silhouettes kept trembling, indicating a lack of balance. Both of them were aware of their situation, gritting their teeth and staring straight ahead.

Three minutes.

“Captain, Wang Yun has flown over the mountain. He’s heading toward the Xiyun City area,” the program inspectors at the eastern foothills reported urgently.

They looked up, watching helplessly as Wang Yun glided overhead. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to shoot. They simply didn’t have time. The speed was too fast, and the visibility was poor at night. Even if they fired, it would be a waste of bullets.

“Send Kolyev to provide support in the city, quickly,!” Wu Yaoming shouted.

Currently, only Kolyev was at the headquarters. He was the closest to the city, so he was the only one who could provide support.

Kolyev, despite his nervousness and anxiety, gritted his teeth and immediately set out. If he got eliminated, so be it. The others were still pursuing him and might arrive in time to help. Once Wang Yun was captured, Kolyev wouldn’t have to live in constant fear.

“The altitude is dropping. There’s a stadium ahead. We’ll land there. Get ready for the final maneuver!” Wang Yun was flying behind them, deliberately reducing his speed a bit.

Brother Hu and Old Song, hearing Wang Yun’s instructions, swayed even more violently. It was evident that they were getting nervous and exhausted.

“This won’t work. At this rate, they might crash headfirst into the ground,” Wang Yun thought, assessing their situation.

He realized they needed a more controlled approach to avoid injuries. Human bones are extremely fragile under such strong inertia. He quickly devised a new plan.

“Listen up! When I get close, grab my hands! I’ll guide us down together,” Wang Yun shouted.

The ground was getting closer and closer, but Wang Yun’s calm voice helped steady their nerves. The stadium’s open field seemed like a safe spot to land.

Wang Yun maneuvered closer to Brother Hu and Old Song, reaching out and grabbing their hands firmly. The additional connection gave them more stability and control.

“Great! Now, when I give the signal, spread your arms and legs wide to slow down. We’ll glide down together,” Wang Yun instructed.

They followed his command, spreading their limbs to increase air resistance and reduce speed. They could feel the drag slowing them down, giving them more control over their descent.

“Prepare to land! Just before we touch down, angle your bodies slightly backward to create more lift. On my count, three… two… one… Now!”

With Wang Yun’s guidance, they executed the maneuver, pulling up their suits to increase lift and slow their descent even more. The ground rushed up to meet them, but their controlled glide turned what could have been a crash into a smooth landing.

Brother Hu managed to execute the maneuver, but Old Song, who was carrying Wang Zi, could only manage a somewhat awkward position.

Three muffled thuds. Three people landed. Wang Yun ripped his own wingsuit, turning it into shreds.

The livestream chat was filled with exclamations.

“Ah! I can’t watch this!”

“Oh my god, this is too intense!”

“Big Brother is taking such a big risk. This is happening too fast!! I can’t handle it!”

“Hiss…”

“Brother Song, you’re stepping on my foot!”

Three seconds later, the five of them stood up from the rubber track in the stadium. They were all trying to remove the protection gear, which looked quite ridiculous.
