Chapter 98: These Guys Are Simply Not Human!

The driver understood Chinese and laughed heartily as he started the limousine, "Haha, it's a bit late to say you're not filming now!"

"In a while, we'll drop you guys down with a helicopter,"

"Ever tried skydiving? It's thrilling!"

Lu Yuanhang turned around, his face tense, "What did he say?! What is he talking about?!"

"Just calm down, he was just joking," the assistant lied with wide eyes.

Lu Yuanhang relaxed a bit but then remembered something and asked excitedly, "I saw in the brochure that we have to skydive,"

"Are we really going to jump?! I'm afraid of heights!"

"No, no," the assistant shook his head, "We'll take a boat to the island."

"That's a relief." Lu Yuanhang finally sat back down.

Half an hour later, the limousine arrived at the gathering spot.

Temporary tents swayed precariously in the wind and rain.

Crew members bustled about, preparing for the global survival show with great urgency.

The director spoke into his walkie-talkie, his tone anxious, "Can we fly in this weather? Give me a straight answer!"

"All our resources are already committed; do you know how much we'll lose if we delay by one day?!"

"You didn't promise me this when we started!"

"You said you could fly in any bad weather!"

"FUCK!"

After cursing, the director hung up and turned to see the Vendetta Squad walking in. He asked the assistant beside him, "These are the Chinese contestants?"

"They don't look like much, do they?"

"Especially that one,"

"He's as thin as a dog!"

"What, he's the hostage?"

"Are you sure bringing a liability can compete with other teams?!"

"Whatever, who cares, they have money!"

The director's lips curled into a mocking smile as he turned to continue coordinating with the helicopter team.

The Vendetta Squad, all fluent in English, naturally picked up on the director's disdain but showed no reaction. Instead, their leader seemed a bit embarrassed,

"Don't mind him, international variety shows are like this; it all comes down to strength."

At this moment, the chat messages started flooding in,

"Tch, who do you think you're looking down on? We'll beat you so hard you'll be crawling on the ground!"

"Hahaha, I got what the director said. He was mocking Lu Yuanhang, calling him a scrawny dog and a liability!"

"Sis Wudi, show them your whip and give the director a good hit!"

"Isn't that how movies always go? The protagonist is underestimated and belittled at first, then they step in and snap their fingers, 'Bring me ten!'"

"This script is so satisfying! I can't wait!"

The Vendetta Squad remained indifferent to the director's attitude, focusing on organizing their gear, putting on their tactical jackets, and securing all sleeves and pant legs tightly.

They looked like soldiers ready for battle, their disciplined appearance striking the screen,

"Wow, so cool?! I finally understand the significance of the hellish training on the deserted island, all for this moment to bring glory to the country?!"

"It makes my blood boil, I want to join in a fierce battle!"

"Friends, I'm going to punch the punching bag, which already has Lu Yuanhang's photo on it."

"Go ahead, give it a few extra punches for me!"

"......"

Finally, the rain eased up a bit.

The helicopter was ready, and the teams began boarding.

Lu Yuanhang felt something was off as he walked, turning to ask the leader, "Weren't we supposed to take a boat?! Why are we taking a helicopter now?"

"Oh, we'll take a boat after the helicopter," the leader dismissed, "You'll see once you get on."

Lu Yuanhang was about to protest, "I'm not getting on, you're clearly tricking me!"

He tried to run but was immediately grabbed by two people, their grip too strong for him to move.

Someone in front turned back and threatened, "Kid, if you try to run, I won't hesitate to throw you out of the helicopter."

Luo Wudi turned around, "Ha, who said bringing a liability means we can't win? I'll show you otherwise!"

As the helicopter slowly lifted off, the leader wiped away tears and waved, "With the Vendetta Squad here, I feel so safe!"

"Ha ha ha, Lu Yuanhang is really a hostage now!"

"A hostage being held on the helicopter."

As they were about to land on the island, the cameramen couldn't follow, so they attached frequency cameras to each guest's collar.

For the convenience of such reality shows, these cameras were highly advanced, providing clear footage no matter how bumpy the ride.

Thus, before the live broadcast, the audience saw through Yuan Feng's perspective the pale-faced Lu Yuanhang, whose arms were tightly gripped by Zhou Nan and Shi Huayi.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he asked weakly, "Can you let go?"

"My damn arms are losing circulation!"

Zhou Nan and Shi Huayi looked at Luo Wudi simultaneously, "Sister Hong, can we let go?"

"Sure," Luo Wudi replied nonchalantly, studying the map, "He won't jump anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Nan and Shi Huayi released their grip and moved away, as if eager to distance themselves after completing their task.

Lu Yuanhang rubbed his arms while complaining to the camera,

"This is outright deception!"

"I'll find a lawyer to sue you once this show is over!"

"I'm not jumping; I'm going back with the helicopter!"

"..."

Jian Li lifted his eyelids, a half-smile on his face, and looked over, "That's not up to you."

At this moment, the staff of *Global Escape* were explaining how to use the parachutes and demonstrating personally.

Lu Yuanhang remained distracted, looking around and mumbling to himself.

The staff, exasperated, walked over and grabbed his collar, "Hey! Chinese guy!"

"Can you pay attention? If your parachute doesn't open and you die, I won't be responsible!"

Lu Yuanhang was stunned, turning his head to ask, "What did he say?!"

"He said if you keep whining, he'll punch you!" Yuan Feng sneered, "This is abroad, no one will indulge you here!"

The staff member was tall and muscular, with a menacing look, clearly someone who had taken several lives.

Lu Yuanhang didn't dare to act rashly, suppressing his anger and starting to focus on learning how to parachute.

When the helicopter began circling, the staff shouted, "Jump one by one!"

"Remember the steps, don't skip any!"

Lu Yuanhang was genuinely scared, hiding behind the Vendetta Squad, watching them jump one by one without hesitation, muttering under his breath,

"These animals!"

"They're not human!"

Finally, he hesitantly stepped forward, just about to prepare himself, when he felt a kick on his buttocks,

"Pull the cord—"

came the voice from above.

Lu Yuanhang screamed in extreme terror, "What did you say—"
