Chapter 51: The Expert Group's Doubts, A New Height!

At this moment.

At the foot of the mountain!

Upon seeing him break through those mists and continue climbing upward, all the pursuit personnel were stunned where they stood, including the two Pursuit Captains!

Watching Chu Chen, who was advancing toward the peak, through his binoculars, Zhou Yun's expression was extremely grave; he had not said a single word from start to finish.

Right now, he truly had no options left, and the high ambitions he held before arriving had been almost completely exhausted.

An altitude of over seven thousand meters.

Even if he were fitted with two pairs of wings, he still couldn't fly up there!

At this very moment, facing this young man who was challenging the limits, all he could do was look up in awe!

Gazing at his figure as it drifted further and further away, a trace of admiration suddenly arose in Zhou Yun's heart, but it was mostly self-mockery and sighs regarding his own sense of powerlessness.

Right now.

Seven thousand six hundred meters had been left far behind by Chu Chen.

Of the remaining four hundred meters, more than half the journey was already complete.

Standing at the top of the gully and looking up, the mountain peak was already clearly visible.

Seeing the goal within reach, Chu Chen took a deep breath of the dry, cold air and continued to forge ahead.

【It's almost eight thousand meters!】

【Awesome!】

【Too strong! Big Boss, please accept my knees!】

【The oxygen level at this altitude must be extremely low, right?】

【Let's put it this way: if it were an ordinary person, they basically wouldn't be coming back!】

【Ah? How dangerous!】

【Dangerous my foot, who would go to a place like this if they were a normal person? You'd go there in your dreams at most, right? Would you go in reality?】

【Anyway, I wouldn't go!】

【Exactly! Don't worry, we won't have the chance to experience this kind of danger in our lifetime!】

As the challenge reached this stage, Chu Chen braced himself.

Because he had slowed his pace, and with the peak right before his eyes, all the viewers witnessing this live stream had their hearts in their throats, holding their breath as they watched Chu Chen's every move!

Time flowed slowly.

It became exceptionally sluggish.

The cold wind on the snow mountain was biting, like the calm whisper of a creator, singing praises to its greatest work!

At this moment, the night was about to pass.

The warm sunlight would soon drive away the darkness and illuminate everything here once more!

And just at this moment, Chu Chen had also reached an altitude of eight thousand meters!

Once past eight thousand meters, the popularity in the official live stream room began to soar rapidly, easily breaking one billion.

Of course.

This popularity did not all come from Huaxia.

Among them were many foreign viewers!

They had all broken through network restrictions after watching that YouTube video and came here out of admiration!

However, due to identity issues, they were unable to register for live stream accounts and could only watch for a short while as guests.

But even so, the traffic from these foreign networks never ceased!

From time to time, one could see foreign language comments appearing!

Because of this, many people who knew how to surf the web for positive energy seized this opportunity, posted real-time screen recordings of Chu Chen on the dark web with set prices, and made a killing!

And through this method, Chu Chen's challenge began to be known by more and more people!

For a time, people all over the world were paying attention to him!

Chu Chen was somewhat aware of the commotion in the outside world!

Ever since the moment he stood at 8,000 meters, the system notification sounds in his mind had not stopped!

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Aoweisi!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Ren Dong!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Wang Jiandong!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Quan Zhen!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Chuan Jianguo!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×10 from Inoue Ryutei!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×20 from Amir!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host, received Shock Value ×20 from Yang Mi!】

Hearing these notification sounds, Chu Chen subconsciously glanced at the Shock Value within the system.

Originally, he thought that having 10 million would be about enough.

But upon opening it, he was dumbfounded.

There was actually a full 30 million!

It far exceeded the mission requirements!

Through this, Chu Chen knew that the outside world might have already changed drastically!

His every move was being watched by many people!

However, right now, he did not pay attention to this matter.

He only caught his breath for a few moments before heading toward the next target, 8800 meters!

Seeing Chu Chen continue his climb, the barrage in the live stream room boiled over once again!

【Holy crap, that's too awesome!】

【Brother Chen, tell us the truth, are you a cultivator???】

【It's so high, I really can't imagine it...】

【I feel like my lungs are about to explode!】

【What tone, what Language should I use to express my chaotic mood right now!】

【A single "holy crap" is enough!】

【I can't even handle 800 meters, and he's actually reached 8000 meters, my goodness!】

【I feel like Chu the God is really about to make history!】

At the same time!

Yanjing.

Inside the Command Room of the Simulated Crime Expert Group!

When they saw Chu Chen reach 8000 meters, the five experts, while excited, were all thinking about the same question:

After this challenge, where will he escape to?

This question had popped up from time to time ever since the moment Chu Chen began the challenge.

Now, it had surfaced to the Water again!

Right now, the Pursuit Team had already set a dragnet at the foot of the mountain!

As long as he dared to come down the mountain.

He would definitely be unable to escape even with wings!

But the question was, could it really be that simple?

In front of the computer, Lin Xu played with a Rubik's cube while saying:

"Everyone, I don't think we need to be anxious. He definitely won't be able to run this time. What we need to do now is hold our ground, quietly wait for him to complete this challenge, and then come down from the mountain. As long as he comes down, he will definitely fall into the encirclement we have set up in advance."

Hearing this, Zhu Guowei nodded, then glanced at Liu Xuemin, seemingly seeking his opinion.

During this time, Liu Xuemin and Chen Zijin had not expressed their opinions.

Because they had always felt that this matter definitely wouldn't be as simple as Lin Xu said!

Since Chu Chen chose to start this challenge, he must have already thought of a way out!

A criminal like him would never be foolish enough to watch a trap and jump right into it!

But Mount Everest was, after all, not an ordinary little hill.

Going up the mountain is hard.

Going down the mountain is even harder!

Under such harsh conditions, while also having to face the pursuit and interception of the Pursuit Team, even if he had three heads and six arms, it would be very difficult to retreat unscathed!

He should have anticipated this point long ago!

But if that were the case, what would his way out be?

Liu Xuemin could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought; he simply could not guess Chu Chen's next move!
