Chapter 490: Stuck There

You Jing, who was staring at the surveillance screen, was speechless. He could hear them, okay.
After listening to the two of them echoing each other, Song Yun gradually came back to her senses and hurriedly agreed. “Yes, yes, yes. We’ll still follow our original plan.”
In short, in order not to eat live insects, they decided to resist the director’s suggestion and charge forward without any scruples!
Hearing their plan through the earpiece, You Jing had the urge to slap himself for the first time. If he had known earlier, he would have told Yu Han the truth. Why did he have to be so tactful?
Actually, Yu Han’s heroic performance was quite eye-catching. Logically speaking, You Jing couldn’t wait for more famous scenes like this to appear. However, because their production team had planned a wave of more ruthless content in one episode previously, they specially found a professional explosive team to cooperate with the production team. The first episode exploded from beginning to end.
Although they had taken sufficient safety measures and the effect was very explosive after the broadcast and the ratings were very high, it also attracted a lot of controversy and reports, causing their production team to be summoned. They almost had to stop the subsequent programs.
With this lesson as an example, as the chief planner and director, You Jing had to be especially careful with the content, especially some dangerous actions. He had to try his best to put an end to them. That was why he specially found Yu Han and asked her to restrain herself a little.
You Jing looked up at the safety rope tied to the guests and then at the rope net formed by the rope as thick as a child’s wrist in midair. There was also a thick sponge mat under the ground. There were three layers of protection!
If it were the previous style of the show, the safety rope on the guests would definitely not appear. Now that it had become like this, he felt that he was already very kind to the guests.
Unfortunately, he only thought so. The guests standing in the air did not think so. After all, it was a track in the air. Considering the safety problem, they did not dare to make every checkpoint on the track too big or too heavy. Hence, the track was relatively narrow. Many places were only 60 to 70 centimeters wide, and only one person could pass.
It was fine if this width was placed on flat ground, but if it was placed in the sky and there were no protective fences on either side, one would fall if they were not careful, let alone standing on it. They could feel the sense of danger from this height when they lowered their heads. It brought a lot of physical and psychological pressure to the guests.
Hence, the guests running in front were basically screaming and shrieking while doing the missions. Unsurprisingly, a few of them fell down.
The worst thing was that after they fell, the production team did not put them down. Instead, they shortened the safety rope on their bodies and hung them above the track, letting them hang there like cured meat to watch the competition until the entire project ended.
Considering the filming time, the second person was about to set off halfway. Of course, it did not rule out the director team’s desire to see the guests cause trouble for each other midway.
In short, it was finally Su Lan’s turn when nearly half of the guests were hung in the air.
When she cleared the level, she looked up at Mai Tian, who was pulled up by the safety rope and was hanging in midair, cursing at the production team. She looked troubled. “Brother, our team is going to lose.”
Currently, two people in their team were already hanging in midair. Zhang Yuan, who was the only one who cleared the level, could only be said to have barely passed. Her results were far inferior to Song Xu’s team. Even if Su Lan successfully cleared the level, she would not be able to catch up.
As for Yu Han’s team, which had yet to run, they were so strong. As long as nothing unexpected happened, their results would definitely not be worse than theirs.
Thinking of the dense insects in the glass jars, Mai Tian swallowed. Suddenly, he had an idea. He pointed at one of the checkpoints and said, “Go over there and block them. Don’t let the next group go over.”
The place he was pointing at happened to be a narrow passageway between the two checkpoints that could only allow one person to pass through. As long as one blocked it, it was basically equivalent to one man holding the fort.
At the thought of this, Mai Tian smiled slyly. He was really smart. As long as she blocked the next group and they could not pass, their group’s results would not be at the bottom.
Su Lan was overjoyed, but she still had to pretend to be troubled. “That’s not good, right?”
Mai Tian raised his eyebrows and followed his words. “This is indeed a little overboard.. Why don’t we admit defeat first?”
