Chapter 359 - 275: Darkness Beneath the Lamp

Wang Ye looked up and asked, "What measures do you plan to take?"

"The intention from above is that since your challenge will be beneficial to the development of our Utah, the local government has dispatched us to patrol nearby during your training or challenge, to minimize the potential dangers you might encounter," Daniel spoke faster and his eyes became more serious after discussing business.

"So before I leave Utah, will you have officers patrolling here?" Wang Ye asked.

"Yes." Daniel nodded.

Hearing this, Wang Ye didn’t feel much joy. Frequent patrols by officers nearby meant his training would be hindered. He also had to be extra careful when going to gang territories, ensuring not to get discovered by officers.

So, this wasn’t good news for him.

"In any case, I advise you to complete the challenge and leave Utah as soon as possible. It’s not that we find it troublesome, but it’s a sincere suggestion focused on your safety. If that guy named Rein really has his eyes on you, not even the police can help you," Daniel said solemnly. "Additionally, I know you are carrying a firearm now, which is technically illegal for visitors with only a travel visa, but given the special situation, we are making an exception and allowing you to carry one. Be cautious not to harm any civilians."

Wang Ye bowed and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

"That’s it then, I’ll go notify my colleagues, and you should hurry with your training and finish the challenge as soon as possible." Daniel stood up, brushed off his pants, and prepared to leave the motel. He bumped fists with Li Weimin, who was standing beside him, then opened the car door of the police car by the roadside, started the engine, and left the area.

Li Weimin came up to Wang Ye and said, "Daniel can be a bit impolite, so please bear with him if he offended you. He is quite responsible at work and I have a good relationship with him, so he can be trusted."

"It’s all right. It’s obvious that he’s quite responsible," Wang Ye nodded in approval.

Li Weimin continued, "As for that guy named Rein... is that his name? You don’t need to worry too much about him. People like him focus on their gray businesses, and with the ongoing police investigation, it’s unlikely he’ll cause you trouble. Just focus on your training."

"Understood, I’ll go train now." Wang Ye waved his hand,

just as he was about to leave,

Li Weimin stopped him, "Wait a moment. I’ve rented a helicopter locally for the past few days. You can now use it to train in some dangerous and deserted canyon areas, effectively avoiding others from disturbing your training."

"A helicopter?" Wang Ye was startled, and then a look of unexpected joy appeared in his eyes.

Bear in mind the fluctuating high and low terrains in Utah. Some areas are over three thousand meters above sea level. The eastern part of Utah is mostly plateaus and mountains, while the terrain in the western Salt Lake City basin is relatively lower, with many lakes.

High-altitude terrains are clearly more thrilling than regular off-road sites. Though low-altitude areas can also be practiced in, the issue is that there are too many off-road drivers, which can easily disrupt training. Furthermore, due to the gentle fluctuations, the difficulty and risk levels are usually low, lacking the thrill of extreme sports. Even a fall would at most result in scrapes. But if you ride a helicopter to the towering peaks for off-roading, you need to be extremely careful, as even a slight slip of the tire might result in a fatal fall into a deep abyss.

In the movie "Extreme Thief," the protagonist and his friend ride a helicopter to the high-altitude areas in Utah, and his friend ends up falling to his death during a jump.

So, to recreate the movie scenes, Wang Ye has to train via helicopter in high-altitude areas. Correspondingly, training in such areas heightens sensory stimulation, greatly boosting hormone secretion, which is beneficial for his training and excellent for the live broadcast effects.

"Wait here while I call a helicopter for you," Li Weimin said as he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, a helicopter landed on the nearby helipad.

Wang Ye called Carlos over, loading their rides into the rear of the helicopter.

He, Carlos, and Li Weimin then boarded the helicopter together.

The pilot was a white man in his twenties, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, with a very thin face, appearing somewhat reticent. After Wang Ye and the others boarded the helicopter, he directly started it and flew towards the nearby high canyons.

Thud thud thud...

Quickly, they flew over a canyon. Looking down from the cabin, strange rocks stood everywhere, with very few spots suitable for off-road motorcycle riding. Most places were cut off and required jumping skills to pass.

About three minutes later, the helicopter landed in a relatively flat area.

Wang Ye and Carlos respectively moved their rides onto the ground.

Carlos, gazing at the endless abyss ahead, couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Any clear-eyed person could see that the fatality rate of this challenge was much higher than previous ones. In their earlier challenges, there were certain safety guarantees. If they failed, they could exit early. But if they fell here, there wouldn’t even be a sliver of chance to survive.

After a brief preparation, Carlos decided to remove his full helmet and put it back in the helicopter because he realized that there was no point in wearing it here. If they fell, even the world’s best helmet couldn’t save them.

Seeing this, Wang Ye also took off his protective gear. In fact, there was never a need for him to wear it, as his solid Protective Gang Qi inherently protected him, absorbing more than ninety percent of shock damage. Wearing the gear only added unnecessary weight and wind resistance.

After removing the gear, he first instructed Carlos to stay on the spot while he rode off to explore the route. His skills were much better than Carlos’s, and he wasn’t afraid of any falls.

Yet, as an ordinary person, Carlos could lose his life at any moment. Under such circumstances, it was best for Wang Ye to explore the route first.

Carlos felt a bit unwilling, but due to his underlying fear, he ultimately decided to stay put, awaiting Wang Ye’s reconnaissance.

Mounting his ride, Wang Ye spent a few seconds accelerating, soon reaching speeds over two hundred kilometers per hour. The dust raised by the tires reached several meters high, as he and his ride disappeared from the others’ view like a black phantom. He relentlessly raced through the canyon breaks, with eroded paths seeming no more challenging than flat ground to him.

He spent about ten minutes riding through over ten miles of terrain. Just as he was about to return and plan the route,

he unexpectedly saw a Golden Eagle soar over his head. This bird is one of the largest birds of prey in the world, capable of instantly killing a cow.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Wang Ye.

Since he could easily use Mind Control on humans now...

Perhaps he could also control these less intelligent birds of prey?
