Are You Crazy? You're Telling Me This Is a Fugitive TV Show?-Chapter 227: Cliff Jump! End of the Show!
The live verbal contract signing by the production team was unexpected for everyone. It was too extreme. The previous social warnings were already surprising enough, and they had already issued two notices about Wang Yun. Now, the production team was even breaking the rules to sign contracts live.
Which production didn’t have a script? Which one makes contracts with actors on the spot?
However, the Skynet Operation show was exceptional. More precisely, Wang Yun was exceptional. He repeatedly forced the production team to change and create new rules for him.
What started as a simple escape show had now become fraught with danger. One small mistake could immediately lead to a life-threatening situation.
“Hu Hanqing, you have thirty seconds to consider. You know the current situation.”
The executive producer urged them promptly. He had hastily drafted a verbal agreement. Though it was verbal, the large audience in the live broadcast provided ample witness, making it effective.
After the producer finished speaking, Wang Yun looked at the five men. Brother Hu and Old Song looked resolute and immediately agreed. Little Gang and Wang Zi also agreed, but the last member hesitated.
Seeing his hesitation, Wang Yun stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder.
“It’s okay if you’re not ready. Your safety is more important than the show,” he said, reassuringly smiling.
The last member, feeling the support from Wang Yun, took a deep breath.
“Brother… I’ve had acrophobia since I was a child. When I joined this show, I didn’t expect to be climbing mountains and crossing ridges. I’m not a coward, but I’m afraid I’ll hold you back.”
When he said this, Wang Yun stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and hugged him.
“Brother, I understand. After all, this is just a show. There’s no need to risk your life. If it weren’t for the survival money the production team gives every passing day, I wouldn’t be working so hard either. You should quit. After the show ends, I’ll treat you to a drink!” Wang Yun said cheerfully.
The teammate was very conflicted but finally nodded. Brother Hu and the others exhaled deeply.
“Everyone, are you ready? Once we jump, there’s no turning back,” Wang Yun asked seriously.
Brother Hu, Old Song, Wang Zi, and Little Gang looked at Wang Yun with intense determination.
“Ready!”
“Ready!”
Their voices were loud as if they were using all their strength to shout. The six-member team instantly became five.
Just as they finished shouting, a helicopter suddenly approached them fast. It hadn’t even been five minutes since they first heard the helicopter.
“The helicopter is here,” Brother Hu shouted.
Everyone panicked. Soon, the helicopter was hovering above them. It arrived much sooner than Wang Yun had estimated, and they weren’t even ready yet. Only Wang Yun remained calm.
“Everyone, calm down. The helicopter is sent by the production team,” he shouted to make himself heard.
The helicopter quickly lowered a bag to Wang Yun before it flew away. Everyone was confused, even the viewers, who were also in the dark about Wang Yun’s talk with the producer.
“They sent us two real wingsuits, protection gear, and parachutes for you guys,” Wang Yun added as he opened the bag and handed out the equipment.
This was part of the conversation he had with the executive producer. The purpose was to reduce the risk for the program participants who decided to continue with Wang Yun’s plan. This couldn’t be considered cheating since the protection gear had sensors that would determine how injured someone was. If a parachute was deployed, that meant elimination.
However, Wang Yun had to use a makeshift wingsuit and no parachute. The producer was hesitant, but Wang Yun had already proven what he was capable of.

The bag also contained replacement props for all the weapons and bottles of poisonous gas they had crafted.
Another helicopter was heard from afar, approaching. It snapped everyone out of their daze.
“That’s the inspectors,” Wang Yun said.
Everyone rushed to equip themselves.
Wang Yun carried Wang Zi on his back. Wang Zi clung tightly to him in a bear hug. Then, they tied the remaining rope between the two of them, though it was just a simple knot.
Wang Yun looked at his team, seeing the resolve in their eyes he said, “Remember, stay calm and focus on the glide. We’ll get through this together.”
He took a deep breath and led the way to the edge. One by one, they prepared for the jump, their hearts pounding with a mix of fear and excitement.
Wang Yun gave a final nod. It was time. Without hesitation, they leaped off the cliff, trusting in their makeshift gliding suits and each other. The rush of wind and the sensation of freefall filled them with adrenaline. They soared into the unknown, united by their courage and determination.
Afraid that there might be danger upon landing, and not enough time to untangle themselves, Old Song carried Little Gang, while Brother Hu flew solo. Brother Hu was the heaviest, carrying another person would greatly increase the risk factor.
Just as Wang Yun’s five-person team was ready to jump, a helicopter appeared overhead. Its beam was strong enough to illuminate half of the mountaintop.
“Are you ready? I’ve scouted the terrain below. When I count to one, don’t hesitate, just jump straight down. As long as you follow the correct direction and don’t deviate, you’ll only need to fly for three minutes to clear the entire mountain. Follow me and listen to my instructions. If you can’t, find an open space and rip the gliding suits to descend. Remember, under no circumstances should you land in the forest,” Wang Yun said quickly, urgently reminding them again.
If they landed in the forest, the dense trees could easily cause injuries or impalement. The best approach was to let the gliding suit free-fall, minimizing harm.
“Three…”
The buzzing of the helicopter grew louder. The sound of the rotor blades filled the air around them.
“Two…”
The countdown was almost up. Wang Yun’s heart raced as he prepared for the jump. The team steadied themselves, their eyes fixed on the edge, ready to take the leap into the unknown.
Despite Wang Yun’s loud shouting, the five of them could still clearly hear their own heartbeats. Before them lay an endless cliff. Everywhere they looked, they saw only tall, dense trees. They were thirty meters up, with someone strapped to their back. Each wore a specially designed gliding suit. Just standing on the edge of this cliff, they could feel the wind making their bodies shiver.
They swallowed hard, their gazes firm, but fear enveloped them. Even Wang Yun couldn’t stay calm this time. He took a deep breath and, with a low roar, shouted the final number.
“One! Jump!”
“Ah! Let’s do this!”
“For victory, for Boss!”
The three of them roared in unison. No one knew if they would make it safely.
“Report, we’ve spotted Wang Yun… they jumped! They’ve jumped off the cliff!”
As Wang Yun and his team leaped, the program inspector in the helicopter spotted them. He was about to report when he saw all five jump simultaneously. He grabbed the radio and shouted.
“What! Jumped off the cliff!”
Wang Yue and the other Captains at the base of the mountain heard this and were instantly shocked. Especially Ying Yuezi, whose face turned deathly pale on the spot. Wang Yue looked up at the towering mountain before him.
Jumped off the cliff? They must have a death wish.
“I… I called 911. Hurry, hurry, and go down, let the rescue team head to the base of the mountain.”
“They’re risking their lives! This is insane! Producer, stop the program! There are lives at stake!”
Wu Yaoming, Wu Mingyu, Wang Yue, and the others were all panicking. They were supposed to be making a show, not risking their lives. Had this group gone mad? Did Wang Yun and his team have no other way out?
In an instant, everyone was in a frenzy. Wang Yue, in his haste, ripped the pinhole camera off his clothes. Hardy was equally stunned.
“A bunch of lunatics! Move, head to the back of the mountain immediately. Executive producer, why didn’t you stop them?!”
Wang Yue was on the verge of losing control. She turned and started running towards the east, planning to circle around the mountain. It was too late to descend and climb back up from the other side.
Hardy was shocked and held his head in disbelief.
In the live streams of the various program inspectors from different countries, all the viewers were equally astonished. They couldn’t believe it. To them, it seemed like Wang Yun and his team were committing suicide.

Mr. Fang saw Wang Yun and his team leap off the cliff. He slammed the table and stood up abruptly.
“Nonsense. This is utter nonsense.”
Elder Fang was furious, pointing at the staff beside him and shouting loudly, his face full of urgency.
“Stop the show, now! Do you really want this program to turn into a disaster?” Mr. Fang roared, the veins on his neck bulging.
“What oral agreement, what contract? If anything happens to those five people, none of you will escape responsibility. I need to go to the site!”
This was the first time Mr. Fang had ever requested to go to the scene. He threw the microphone aside, his whole body trembling with anger.
The celebrity beside him was too frightened to speak, staring blankly at the live broadcast.
