Chapter 574 Chen Jincheng's performance begins!
Chapter 574 Chen Jincheng's performance begins!
That's right, Chen Jincheng was behind from the start, but it wasn't Chen Jincheng who was behind; rather, it was the support team assigned to him by the sports department who were behind. After all, carrying a heavier pack than the others would definitely consume more physical strength and energy.
Chen Jincheng knew this would happen.
These people would be a hindrance, so it would be better for him to carry it himself. No, there's so much stuff, he has to carry it himself. So, there's another person in the team carrying a carrying pole, just so he can carry things up to the summit.
No one believed he could actually carry all those things up the mountain; they were sure he'd lose them halfway up.
Before long, the Warcraft players had pulled them a considerable distance ahead.
This scene was captured by a photographer on a specially deployed military helicopter, and was broadcast live on Ershixingchen Film and Television Network.
As for why the footage was clear and not dark at 3 a.m.?
That would definitely not allow them to see a clear picture, but Chen Jincheng and his team brought lighting equipment and positioning devices with them when they went up the mountain. With the lighting and positioning devices, they could easily find out which challenger was where.
Therefore, the audience couldn't help but get anxious when they saw this scene.
"How did they manage to create such a gap right from the start?"
"I think it might be those few support members who dragged Cheng down."
"I think so too, look at how slow they are."
"..."
Suddenly, several professional mountaineers sent by the sports authorities were caught in the crossfire in the live broadcast.
In fact, this is true.
So, after walking for a while, Chen Jincheng said helplessly to the support members, "How about this, you guys go full speed ahead and go as far as you can. After that, I'll have to rely on myself."
This made the group frown.
One of them said, "Mr. Chen, if you continue like this with even heavier loads, we can only help you deliver the load to Camp C1 at most; we definitely won't be able to reach Camp C2."
"It's okay, just hurry up, I don't want to waste time." Chen Jincheng said, already quickening his pace forward.
Seeing this, the other team members had no choice but to follow.
In this situation, Chen Jincheng's speed also increased, and he quickly caught up with the challengers. The first one he caught up with was the Italian challenger, a fitness enthusiast with a buzz cut.
Chen Jincheng and his men bypassed the other side directly.
This made the other party frown.
Climbing Mount Everest requires careful control of physical exertion. Seeing Chen Jincheng quickly overtake him, he didn't rush, because that would be suicidal and would obviously consume a huge amount of energy.
This did nothing to help the truly perilous second half of the game.
Chen Jincheng paid no attention to any of that, surpassing one challenger after another, and finally overtaking Warcraft to reach the top spot.
The monster naturally saw Chen Jincheng and his group going all out to climb the mountain, and a cold smile appeared on its lips.
Carrying even heavier loads while climbing the mountain at full speed must have required an even greater amount of physical exertion.
That's suicidal; the opponent might not even be able to reach the true rear peak.
Viewers on the Second Star Film and Television Network were all excited to see this scene:
"Haha, Chen Jincheng sped up."
"Great, Chen Jincheng has put in the effort."
"You've won first place! Keep it up!"
"..." The barrage of comments was dense, all filled with excitement. Chen Jincheng was in first place, and everyone was cheering him on.
However, the live stream quickly switched to a live commentary, which made everyone's expressions turn sour.
The two mountaineering experts providing commentary knew things were going to get bad when they saw Chen Jincheng and his group's actions:
"Chen Jincheng made a very wrong decision."
"Yes, what he's doing now isn't increasing his speed, but discarding unnecessary things, especially the sword in his hand; that's what's affecting his speed."
“Now his support team members are carrying heavier backpacks and more stuff than others. If this continues, their physical strength will be severely depleted. You know, it takes at least 8 hours to get to the summit.”
"No one can maintain this speed for 8 hours. I'm afraid they'll run out of energy after an hour, and be exhausted after 2 hours."
"Yes, Chen Jincheng obviously has no experience at all, and he looks like a complete brute right now."
"..."
This on-the-spot explanation immediately turned sour on the faces of the viewers watching the live stream on Ershixingchen Film and Television Network, especially Chen Jincheng's fans.
According to this explanation, Chen Jincheng wouldn't even be able to make it up a third of the way.
This is unacceptable to them.
As time passed, just as the on-site commentator had predicted, in just one hour, the climbing team assisting Chen Jincheng slowed down and could no longer maintain that pace.
Through footage taken by a professional military helicopter, it's clear that the foreign challengers in Warcraft are closing the gap, and the distance created by Chen Jincheng and his team's all-out effort will soon be widened.
The key point is that Chen Jincheng and his team were severely exhausted, while others maintained their stamina very well.
Soon, the two hours mentioned by the on-site commentators arrived, and it was already past 5 o'clock.
From the location shown in the live broadcast, anyone could see that Chen Jincheng and his group had come to a complete stop and were now stationary in one spot.
Indeed, Chen Jincheng's support team members had run out of energy to move forward at full speed and all stopped.
The viewers who stayed up all night watching the live stream were genuinely worried when they saw this.
Unfortunately, the live stream also revealed the locations of the other challengers, showing that the Warcraft team was getting closer and closer to Chen Jincheng and his group.
Chen Jincheng and his group have stopped now, so it's probably over; they'll be caught up soon.
But no one knew that the truly shocking moment was yet to come.
"Give everything to me!" Chen Jincheng said, looking at them.
Now is the time for him to truly make his move. Without any burdens, he can go at full speed and see if Mount Everest can push him to his limits and deplete his physique points.
The support staff had no choice but to comply; they were truly at their wits' end. Plans never keep up with changes, and they failed to complete their assigned tasks. Those who had prepared for this said they had held Chen Jincheng back, as he was supposed to take over these tasks in the final stages.
Soon, all the things and equipment that Chen Jincheng needed were packed up and handed over to him so that he could carry them on his shoulders.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry," an assistant member said awkwardly.
"You've done very well," Chen Jincheng said with a smile. After all, the sports side meant well. Even though it was a wasted effort, they still gave it their all, so there was no need to be too harsh.
As he spoke, he headed directly up the mountain, while the support members immediately widened their eyes, only to see that Mr. Chen had actually started to accelerate. (End of this chapter)
