Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 252 - 222: Is He Not Afraid of Death?

Ah Gui found three or four younger porters in the small town. After paying them a thousand pesos in wages, he handed over the heavy equipment to them.

Wang Ye stood at the motel entrance, equipping himself while observing the group of porters at the door.

These porters, though young, looked somewhat haggard, with deeply sunken cheeks.

It was obviously due to years of physical labor, leading to some malnutrition.

While they could carry over a hundred pounds of goods, they all had some old injuries like back injuries, leg injuries, and joint injuries. Thus, their posture was somewhat hunched, and most walked with a limp.

They were like those elderly workers on construction sites, appearing to eat and drink heartily, run and jump, and still carry hundreds of pounds of cement bags all at once, but in reality, they’ve exchanged their bone longevity for it, and their bodies were already in a precarious state.

But there was no way around it; their livelihood depended on this work,

and if they didn’t sacrifice their health to carry goods, they might not even be able to have a meal.

Looking at these local porters, Wang Ye couldn’t help but feel a bit of pity.

In this world, not everyone has the ability to break barriers and continuously improve. Many people struggle with the most basic survival, so how could they have extra energy for training and thinking.

Even though these porters perhaps work harder and more diligently than many successful individuals, they remain trapped here for life, unable to escape.

This made Wang Ye realize even more profoundly how fortunate he was to have acquired the system.

After the porters set off, Wang Ye, Ah Gui, and others also donned their gear and left the motel. They prepared to trek into the depths of the jungle towards Swallow Cave for the pre-challenge preparations for the "Awakening Earth."

About five minutes after they left the motel,

a figure hurriedly came down from the upper floor of the motel.

This person had brownish skin, thick hair, and a large mouth, a typical Mexican appearance,

and was indeed Carlos, the leader of the Red Bull Team.

At that moment, his eyes were shadowed and his expression furtive, wearing a black shell jacket, intently watching Wang Ye and the others leave, clearly up to no good.

Carlos intentionally did not wear the Red Bull team uniform today, just to track Wang Ye and the others.

Because he believed that Wang Ye would definitely fabricate something somewhere to accomplish the Awakening Earth.

If he could capture the whole process of cheating with a camera and publish it online, tearing off Wang Ye’s mask, then they would naturally win without a battle.

By now, Wang Ye and his group had already brought the porters to the jungle.

After a trek of more than ten kilometers, they finally arrived by the Swallow Cave.

Breathing heavily, the porters set down the climbing equipment they carried on their backs.

Ah Gui pulled several stacks of cash from his bag and handed them to the porters.

They said thank you in accented Spanish, then headed back towards town.

Wang Ye glanced at his watch and loudly instructed:

"It’s half past nine, it’s getting late, Ah Gui, start organizing the preparations."

Ah Gui nodded, pulling out several climbing ropes less than one centimeter in diameter, along with drills, expansion screws, and other items from his bag, and began arranging for the other photographers to secure the ropes on the tree trunks.

The preparation work was simple, starting with tying a few climbing ropes tightly around the tree trunk. Then, using a descender, they slowly rappelled to the bottom of the cave. On the way, they needed to choose suitable spots to drill numerous anchor points on the rock wall for easier climbing. This process would take about half a day.

The workload was substantial, and only one person could descend to drill the anchor points while the others could only provide support at the cave opening.

But once these preparations were done, they could go back to rest and recharge. Once the weather stabilized and there was less rainfall, they would return to challenge the Awakening Earth.

While Ah Gui and others were doing the preparations,

Wang Ye slightly turned his head, glancing at a tree trunk behind him.

He had actually noticed someone was following them a long time ago. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, the person’s behavior wasn’t aggressive, nor were they carrying any weapons, except for a portable action camera, so Wang Ye hadn’t paid him any mind, simply assuming he was a passing photographer.

But now, as the distance was a bit closer, he caught a whiff of the person’s scent and suddenly realized that the one following them seemed to be the leader of the Red Bull Team he brushed past last night.

With Wang Ye’s "Divine" attribute increasingly high, his memory had evolved to a level ten times beyond that of ordinary people. Anything he had seen, smelled, tasted, heard, or even touched, he remembered completely for life.

Including the scent of humans, he could instantly identify who it was.

"Why is the leader of Red Bull following us?" Wang Ye murmured to himself, rubbing his chin.

Could they be planning to sabotage the anchors they set?

But that person didn’t carry any tools, only a camera in their right pocket,

It didn’t look like they planned to destroy anything, instead, it seemed like they were here for photography.

"Photography... Could they be planning to film us cheating and publish it online?" Wang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Based on the person’s actions, it indeed seemed possible.
