Chapter 241: Standoff: The Gold Content of Nine Holy Grails!
At the same time!
Venezuela!
Angel Falls!
The moment Chu Chen appeared, the Pursuit Team members guarding both banks of the Qiulun River all braced themselves to the highest level of alertness, then simultaneously aimed their guns at him!
The six captains standing at the very front were the same, without the slightest bit of negligence!
After a standoff for a while, Zhou Yun slowly placed the walkie-talkie to his mouth and whispered the order: "Target has appeared, maintain vigilance. Without my order, no one is to act rashly..."
After speaking, he swept a meaningful glance around him.
Wherever his gaze landed, everyone restrained their expressions and held their breath, their looks varied, but the determination to bring Chu Chen to justice had not changed!
Because the journey to get here had truly not been easy!
From the start of the Program Team until now, the hardships they had experienced were even greater than catching a real criminal!
Failure after failure, confusion after confusion, and making a fool of themselves in front of countless viewers time and time again!
Not only did they have to endure the pressure of public opinion, but they also had to suffer through all kinds of controversy and mockery!
And they couldn't even utter a single word of complaint!
Because of this, every Pursuit Team member was holding back a breath, dreaming of bringing Chu Chen to justice!
Now, the culprit behind all of this was standing right before them.
Success was also within reach!
Given all this, how could their feelings not be complicated?
If not for the orders, these people from the Pursuit Team would have loved to immediately escort Chu Chen back to Huaxia, using practical action to prove to hundreds of millions of viewers that no matter how arrogant a criminal is, they cannot escape the net of justice in the end, which would also make their month of hard work worthwhile!
How could Zhou Yun not know the feelings of the group?
But as the saying goes, Chu Chen is not an ordinary criminal!
Before he is caught, anything unreasonable could happen!
This was the experience he had summarized after dealing with Chu Chen!
"Give me the megaphone."
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhou Yun lowered his voice and beckoned to a Pursuit Team member beside him.
Taking the megaphone handed to him, he walked forward two steps and raised his voice toward Chu Chen:
"Listen up, person on the other side!"
The echo traveled across the vast plateau for a long time before it completely disappeared.
"I am the captain of the First Brigade of the Pursuit Team, Zhou Yun!"
Every time he shouted a sentence, a sharp feedback sound appeared in the megaphone.
"I am now officially notifying you on behalf of the 'Simulated Crime' pursuit team that you are surrounded by us! This place is full of our people; surrendering is your only choice now!"
"It is time for this farce to end! Please accept reality and do not put up a desperate struggle! Put down your weapon, raise your hands, and then listen to my orders. Consider where you will go from here; I will give you fifteen minutes to think about it. If the time is up and I do not see your sincerity, we will directly take mandatory measures!"
While Zhou Yun was shouting, Chu Chen did not make any moves, standing motionless at the edge of the cliff, then staring at them with a half-smile, not knowing what he was planning.
After a while.
Seeing that he did not reply, Zhou Yun gave the order again, immediately shrinking the encirclement and pushing the entire Pursuit Team forward by thirty meters!
At this moment, the distance between the two sides was already very close.
Even without the megaphone, they could hear the other side's speech.
"Stop."
After directing everyone to stop, Zhou Yun glanced at his watch and then spoke to Chu Chen again: "How about it! You still have five minutes!"
Hearing this, Chu Chen still did not speak, continuing to look at them with a half-smile!
Seeing this, Zhuang Yan shouted to him: "Chu Chen! Hurry up and surrender! Don't be stubborn, your game should be over!"
"Surrender!" Beside her, Chen Xiong also raised his gun and echoed.
Following that, Zheng Yang said: "Raise your hands, then walk over yourself!"
Seeing this scene, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was very dejected!
The barrage was also wave after wave, unable to stop at all:
【Sigh!】
【It's over, is Chu Shen really going to be caught?】
【It seems the Program Team was right, no matter how awesome a criminal is, they can't escape the sanctions of the law in the end!】
【There's no way, Chu Shen has already tried his best!】
【What a pity! It's really such a pity! Just one last challenge away from success!】
【What is the Program Team doing, why not cut Chu Shen some slack?】
【Don't want to watch anymore...】
【Being able to get this far is already very impressive, go Chu Shen, I'm a fan for life!】
【If Chu Shen is eliminated, I swear I will never watch this show again in my life! Trash Program Team! Trash director!】
The barrage in the live broadcast room was full of different opinions.
Looking at the densely packed Pursuit Team members guarding both banks of the Qiulun River, many viewers felt hopeless!
With this encirclement, let alone a person, not even a fly could fly out!
If there were even the slightest bit of hope, the viewers would not have appeared so dejected!
At the same time!
Huaxia!
Inside the Expert Group's Command Room!
Watching the two sides in a standoff, the expressions on the faces of the five experts were also very complex!
Logically speaking, the current situation was favorable for them.
But considering everything about Chu Chen before, they always felt that this capture operation would very likely have complications!
Especially Chen Zijin!
He had always believed that Chu Chen would not just surrender like this!
Based on his understanding of Chu Chen, this guy would absolutely not accept such an ending!
Even if he died on the road while fleeing, he would not surrender to the Pursuit Team.
There must be some hidden story in this!
Looking at the smiling Chu Chen on the screen, this feeling in Chen Zijin's heart became increasingly intense!
The next second!
Just as he was lost in thought, Chu Chen on the screen suddenly spoke: "Captains, long time no see..."
At this very moment, the expression on his face remained the same, without any change, as if he did not put the Pursuit Team in his eyes at all.
After scanning the few captains, Chu Chen locked his gaze onto Zhou Yun, and then continued to speak:
"Before I participated in this program, I asked Guan Sheng Di Jun for guidance, and that day he gave me nine Holy Grails. Team Captain, do you know what nine Holy Grails mean in my hometown?"
This sentence from Chu Chen instantly caused a huge uproar in the livestream room, and countless comments surged out like a flood!
【Holy crap, nine Holy Grails?!】
【What does this mean? I don't understand! Can someone explain it!】
【Holy Grail, a term for divination tools, mostly made of wood or bamboo, shaped like a crescent moon, with two pieces; the convex side is Yin, the flat side is Yang; if one is Yin and one is Yang, it is called a Holy Grail, a way of communicating with the gods popular in some regions of Huaxia... Nine Holy Grails, invincible!】
【Let me put it this way, nine Holy Grails means nine consecutive times of agreement!】
【A probability of 1/512!】
【If you can cast nine Holy Grails, if you don't do this thing, the gods will press your head to make you do it! Because for the tenth Holy Grail, he would descend to the mortal world himself...】
【Holy crap, that awesome?】
【Nine Holy Grails means just do it, if something happens, someone will protect you!】
【Let me explain the value of nine Holy Grails to everyone: you want to do business, and you gather a group of big bosses from Minnan; if you cast nine Holy Grails in front of them, even if they know for a fact that the project will lose money, they will still invest in you! Just ask yourself, is that awesome or what?】
