51: Chapter 51 Even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't dare drive like that!

Just as Zhou Yi was watching with great interest, an emergency notification suddenly popped up on the screen.

[Emergency Notification! Contestant No. 15 has plunged off a cliff. Please have the rescue team depart immediately! Proceed to rescue!]

When this notification scrolled across the screen, everyone became nervous.

Many netizens clicked into Contestant No. 15's livestream room. At this moment, his first-person perspective view had gone completely black, and the livestream room was playing a replay of the third-person footage from when he had rushed off.

After watching the recording, the netizens finally understood that the contestant had leaned too low while turning, which resulted in insufficient tire grip. The bike then rushed off the cliff with an unstoppable momentum!

Although the ridges in Utah are not vertical cliffs and have a certain slope to provide some cushioning,

under the influence of gravitational acceleration, it was absolutely impossible for either the motorcycle or the person to stop before rolling to the bottom of the mountain.

The netizens watched helplessly as the motorcycle threw Contestant No. 15 off, and then the bike disintegrated and fell apart every few rolls.

Contestant No. 15 was luckier; after being thrown out and rolling a few times, he was fortunately stopped by a huge protruding rock on the hillside.

It was precisely this obstruction that gave him a glimmer of hope for survival!

But that was merely hope.

Seeing this scene, the netizens couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, we shouldn't be arguing; there's nothing to argue about. Regardless of which country they are from, being able to participate in such Extreme Sports challenges is already the pride of all humanity."

"That's true. At the very least, I don't think I could ever be as brave as them in my lifetime. I don't have the courage to face death head-on."

"Sigh, I can only say that this is the nature of Extreme Sports. A good friend of mine has a son who also does Extreme Sports—he's a skier. Once, when he went to challenge a downhill ski run on the highest mountain range, he fell and became a high-level paraplegic. Now only his eyes and mouth can move, and he even needs to be fed."

"That's just because everyone's pursuits are different. It's like us sitting in the office watching the livestream; we will never understand why they insist on engaging in such dangerous sports, as if they are courting death."

While the netizens were discussing this, Contestant No. 15's vital signs suddenly hit zero; his heart rate was gone, and his blood pressure was gone too.

This meant that this Extreme Sports challenge had seen its first accidental death of a contestant.

At this point, it was highly unlikely that the rescue team could save the contestant even if they rushed over; at most, they would just be collecting the body.

Seeing this, the netizens all fell silent.

This sport is good in every way, except that it is too cruel.

The reason why Extreme Sports can become popular all over the world is actually because these extreme athletes always send a signal to the whole world when they are challenging themselves.

That is, humanity has not lost the courage to challenge nature and challenge limits!

Even if the person standing in front of them right now is the Grim Reaper, they will face it bravely!

...

Director's team, inside the tent.

Watching Contestant No. 15 die accidentally, the assistant director on the side immediately became nervous.

"This is the Hungarian contestant, ranked ninth in the world for mountain motorcycling. What should we do now?"

The assistant director had also never encountered such a situation before.

After all, the one who died wasn't just some random person; he was a top-ten world-ranked mountain motorcycle extreme athlete.

Director Wang Haiwei looked at Shen Xicai, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Shen Xicai didn't even think about it and said directly: "Just follow the normal procedure. First, call and notify his family, retrieve the body, and then send out a special investigation team to investigate the cause of the accident."

"Have them write a detailed investigation report for me. It must be detailed; after all, it is a human life."

"Besides that, contact the insurance company. Pay whatever compensation is required, do whatever needs to be done; we must take responsibility."

With Shen Xicai's clear instructions, the staff below quickly followed the procedures to handle it.

Director Wang Haiwei couldn't help but say: "Third Boss, is our challenge content this time too harsh? I have studied this place before; the ridge roads here get narrower and more dangerous the further you go."

"If too many people die accidentally in our show, I am worried that it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Director Wang Haiwei's concern was justified.

After all, the show's initial focus was on variety entertainment, not hardcore Extreme Sports.

As a result, once Qin Feng appeared, not only did the entire style of the show go off track, but the challenge projects also became increasingly ridiculous, and there were even casualties!

This is something that most TV shows are not allowed to have, so Director Wang Haiwei was very worried that they would get the show shut down by the authorities.

Shen Xicai knew very well what Director Wang Haiwei was worried about, and he said directly: "I have reported this challenge project to the leaders, and we have also made predictions and assessments regarding the possible casualties during the challenge process."

"Rest assured, as long as not too many people die, there won't be any problems."

As soon as Shen Xicai finished speaking, two more bullet comments requesting the rescue team to deploy popped up on the big screen.

Shen Xicai's face immediately darkened.

Come on, while it is true that their show would definitely have casualties—and he had already prepared for that mentally—

you can't have accidents happening this frequently, right?

Shen Xicai asked the director to switch screens to check the situation of the other two people.

Only then did Shen Xicai discover that the other two people were in a similar situation to Contestant No. 15; they had fallen because their tires slipped and lost grip.

It was just that these two were luckier; one had hit the throttle and crashed into a rock before falling, and the other had jumped off the motorcycle just as it was about to fall, saving his life.

Seeing these successive accidents, the netizens in the livestream room couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

"Damn, isn't the casualty rate of this show a bit too high? The competition has only reached one-third of the way, and there are already so many people injured?"

"That's only because these two had good luck. I feel like if they had even slightly worse luck, rushing down there would have been certain death!"

"Look at Extreme Brother, why is he still accelerating!"

The netizens turned their attention back to Qin Feng's livestream room.

The netizens were already very nervous because contestants had suffered casualties.

As a result, now not only was Qin Feng not slowing down, but he was continuing to accelerate, which made the netizens' scalps tingle!

Was Qin Feng really not afraid of death?

When they saw Qin Feng driving his motorcycle and leaping over several hills in a row, the netizens couldn't help but start complaining again.

"This first-person perspective is awesome; it almost scared me into fainting!"

"Don't look at how Extreme Brother is riding right now and think it seems dangerous; in reality, it's not safe at all."

"'The road my parents took to school back in the day,' basic operation, don't be impressed."

"Even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't dare to ride like this! Too fierce!"
