Chapter 100: Rewards Obtained, the Final 14 Kilometers!

~7 min read 1,387 words

The boiling river water, like a swimming silver dragon, rages as it rushes toward the distance!

At this moment, after a period of adaptation, Chu Chen finally found his rhythm for the charge again, keeping his center of gravity stable at all times without shifting, and continued to forge ahead toward the finish line!

The Inga River section is located in the lower reaches of the Congo River.

The total length is nearly several hundred kilometers.

At Chu Chen's current speed, it will take at least another dozen hours or so to pass through here and officially arrive within the territory of Kinshasa.

Barring any accidents, every single minute and second of these dozen-plus hours will be extremely difficult to endure.

Especially the final 14 kilometers, which are even more thrilling!

That place is absolutely the most dangerous section of the Inga rapids, bar none!

At that time, within a river channel of less than 14 kilometers, the vertical drop will suddenly plummet by 90 meters!

A 90-meter drop over 14 kilometers might not count for much on a highway.

But for a river with such a massive flow, it is extremely lethal; this drop is enough to make all challengers who attempt to conquer this river return in defeat!

Because the river water is flowing.

Under the influence of gravitational acceleration, the greater the terrain's drop, the faster the river's speed will be, and its momentum will naturally be even more ferocious!

Moreover, the further downstream one goes, the more obvious this situation becomes!

In the lower reaches of the Inga River section, even high-powered speedboats cannot navigate smoothly!

As for the reason, besides the drop, there is also the change that occurs in the riverbed terrain.

Because the undulations of the riverbed can directly determine the volume of the river's flow.

This issue is also a major challenge that the charger needs to face!

By that time, the undercurrents, whirlpools, and giant waves in the river channel will be almost everywhere; without absolute strength, it is simply impossible to overcome these final 14 kilometers.

When all is said and done, it comes back to that one point: in a place like this, even if you have perfect preparation, you cannot accurately predict what will happen in the next second; you can only passively go with the flow and use a powerful physical body to resist all the way to the finish line!

Because his physical fitness was up to the task, and coupled with his prior mental preparation, after stabilizing his rhythm, Chu Chen quickly adapted to this passive way of moving forward and successfully withstood several impacts and collisions.

Taking advantage of this time, he decisively tapped on the System Panel to take a rough look at the task rewards that had already arrived.

The rewards were very simple, consisting of only two skills in total.

God-level Bone Shrinking Technique and God-level Escape Technique!

There is nothing much to say about the Bone Shrinking Technique; it is one of the traditional Huaxia acrobatic arts, belonging to a type of acrobatic soft skill. Those who practice this technique can easily push the limits of various human joints to achieve the goal of shrinking bones, thereby entering or passing through some extremely narrow spaces. This technique is mostly used in acrobatic performances and magic shows.

In the old society, there were also people who would practice this technique to engage in crooked paths, stealing gold, silver, jewelry, and funerary objects from tombs.

Come to think of it, the Bone Shrinking Technique can also be considered a relatively practical criminal technique.

Such a god-level skill is rarely known even on Earth, let alone here.

If he could demonstrate this unique skill in front of a global audience on the show, it would definitely drop their jaws and harvest a huge wave of Shock Value!

Thinking of this, Chu Chen didn't say a word and decisively learned this skill.

Immediately afterward, he turned his gaze to the God-level Escape Technique.

By comparison, this skill was even easier to understand.

The escape technique can also be considered a top-tier unique skill with a long historical origin.

At the very beginning, the escape technique was just a type of magic, but with the development of society, this skill was applied to the criminal field by many capable people, creating many shocking unsolved cases!

Many earth-shattering major cases throughout history have had the contribution of this technique.

For example, the Alcatraz prison break, the Teigin incident in the island nation, the D. B. Cooper hijacking incident, and so on and so forth...

These well-known cases have not been definitively concluded even now.

In their previous lives, they utilized the escape technique to perfectly evade police pursuit and left a heavy, colorful mark in the history of world crime!

Come to think of it, this 【God-level Crime Master System】 he is bound to is truly powerful!

Every skill rewarded is very practical, and all of them are exactly what he needs most at the moment!

Right now, the Pursuit Team has likely already laid out a massive dragnet at the mouth of the river in Kinshasa, waiting for him to deliver himself to them.

If he wants to break the situation, it is absolutely impossible without some unexpected means.

While pondering, Chu Chen steadied his mind, and then, without a second thought, he immediately used his consciousness to tap on the skill icons, loading them all into his head!

Time flowed away minute by minute.

Several hours flashed by in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Chu Chen had officially entered the middle and lower reaches of the Inga River section!

With the journey more than halfway through, the momentum of the entire river had directly become several times more arrogant!

It seemed to have turned into a vicious, evil dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it carried Chu Chen all the way downstream!

The location where he is now is actually not very far in a straight line from the main urban area of Kinshasa.

And as Kinshasa drew near, some onlookers and Pursuit Team members could already be seen on both banks of the river.

Every time Chu Chen rushed past, countless shouts and screams would rise one wave after another, even more exaggerated than the surging river!

Some of them were waving their hands excitedly, while others hurriedly picked up cameras to frantically film him!

To prevent the scene from getting out of control, the Congo Military even specially sent troops over to maintain order!

At this moment, in the crowd.

Seeing Chu Chen rushing toward him, a Pursuit Team member waiting on the riverbank immediately picked up his walkie-talkie and reported:

"Team Leader Zhang, the target has just passed the Inga River section of Malina. The river water here is very rapid. According to his current speed, it is estimated that in a few more hours, he should be able to reach the Congo Great Rift Valley at the very downstream..."

At this moment, on the other end of the walkie-talkie, it was none other than Zhang Hao, the team leader of the first Pursuit Team.

After receiving the news, he immediately ran to a Command Room that the Pursuit Team had temporarily set up on the left bank of the river mouth and reported Chu Chen's current location to Zhou Yun.

"Team Captain, there is news from the front. The target has already passed Malina, and it is estimated that he should be able to enter the territory of Kinshasa by tomorrow morning."

At this moment, Zhou Yun was in the Temporary Command Room discussing the upcoming capture operation with five other team captains.

Upon hearing this, he immediately put down the work in his hands, looked at the map on the table, and roughly confirmed Chu Chen's current location.

Everything was exactly as Zhang Hao had said.

If no accidents occurred along the way, he would definitely enter their surveillance range before noon tomorrow!

Thinking of this, the brows that Zhou Yun had been knitting tightly finally slowly relaxed.

The next second, he tapped heavily twice on the Congo Great Rift Valley on the map, and then said to Zhang Hao:

"Notify everyone to prepare for the operation in advance!"

"Yes!"
