Chapter 750 Continuity Mission, Water and Fire.
Mugalen is not short of money. Since he can cash in on his survival in the wilderness, he lives in a big house, drives a Ford Raptor, and has a lot of spare cash.
After a few jokes, Mugalen generously gave Bifang and Yao Jun 30,000 dollars in support, which was enough for the two to live a happy life for a month.
Because there was so much money, another problem arose: how to carry such a large sum of money?
ATM machines can only dispense $20 denominations. If all $30,000 were dispensed, it would be a thick stack. The height of the stacked bills would be more than 15 centimeters. It would be too conspicuous. It would not be safe to put it in a backpack. Not only would you have to face various members of society, it would even attract the police.
In China, even primary school students know that if they lose money they should look for the police, but in some countries, the police may be the one who takes your wallet.
As long as a person carries a large amount of cash, the U.S. police can choose to confiscate it. The reason is that they carry a large amount of cash and determine that these properties are illegally obtained, so they have the right to confiscate them.
If you change it into one hundred or fifty notes, it is much smaller, but you have to go to the counter to get it. Not to mention the risks, this denomination is really not easy to use.
The teller will also ask you difficult questions like why you are withdrawing so much money, what you need such a large amount for, etc. Even if you deposit tens of thousands of cash at one time, the backend will lock you up and report you to investigate whether you have engaged in money laundering or tax evasion.
This is the case with depositing money, not to mention withdrawing money, which is like cutting the bankers' flesh.
In a word, use credit cards for large amounts of money and small bills for small amounts of money.
"Well, I still have cashier's checks."
Sean raised his hand, rummaged in his pocket, and finally pulled out a checkbook.
"You still have this?"
Bifang was shocked. For a homeless man, it was reasonable for him , but why did he always keep a checkbook ready?
Are you the reincarnation of Doraemon?
Sean shrugged. "I've always thought I could make a comeback. These checks are from the past. I couldn't bear to throw them away. Looking at them reminds me of my high-spirited moments in the past."
"Wait, what's the use of checks? Don't you have to exchange them at the counter?"
Yao Jun, who studied abroad in college, has many years of experience living in a foreign country, but that was in Northern Europe. He is still unable to cope with a complex country like the United States.
"Not only are ATMs everywhere in the Ugly Country," Bifang paused, "some machines allow you to directly insert checks and withdraw money..."
"Is it that powerful ?"
"Okay, the biggest problem has been solved. Now let's be cool!"
Bifang put his arms around Sean and Yao Jun’s shoulders and laughed.
…
In the next few days, the hunting team was completely in a state of panic. They found new clues every day, but when they arrived at their destination, they found that the other party always managed to escape.
But no one can say that the hunter group is too weak, because when the hunters had to temporarily give up the Bifang group and turn their attention to other prisoners... a horrible contrast arrived.
The means of escape used by the other prisoners were so childish that it was unbearable to watch!
It makes people feel like other people just have a fake brain!
Of course, it is not that exaggerated. As other fugitives were "arrested and brought to justice" one after another, the hunters' methods were revealed more and more. The first to appear was the three tricks. Many people asked themselves that they might not be able to get any good out of these three tricks.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
With almost no escape possible under the three axes, Bifang's magical powers became even more powerful.
The first trick is that the hunters identify the fugitive's network of relationships and conduct all-round surveillance. As long as the fugitive contacts someone in the network, he will be trapped.
On the third day, a contestant got lost and called his mother with a temporary cell phone, but was immediately locked down.
The logic of the hunter group is simple: when people seek help, they generally look for someone they trust.
This is the first group of players to be caught.
The second trick is that the hunters go to the fugitives’ homes and companies, and through observation and questioning, they determine the fugitives’ personalities and hobbies, and then speculate on their methods of escape, thereby narrowing the scope of their capture.
The fourth team of players are good friends. They opened a simulated gun shop together and often organized field drills for gun enthusiasts.
The hunting team quickly limited their search area to the country parks on both sides of the river.
The two were captured in the suburbs on the sixth day alone.
As a last resort, the hunters took the initiative to find the biggest suspect and try to get clues indirectly.
On the seventh day, they went to the home of the fugitive's friend to inquire about the news, and used their mobile phones to transmit the situation on the scene back to the headquarters in real time.
The behavioral analyst in front of the big screen pointed out on the spot that the friend was lying.
Sure enough, the fugitive was hiding in a friend's house.
In nine days, three teams and six people had been captured, which means one-third of the contestants had been arrested, but the time had not even reached one-third of the total length.
In addition to the three conventional tactics mentioned above, each of these experts has unique skills.
Some cracked the login password by guessing, some traced the entire escape plan through the calendar left by the fugitive, and some quickly judged the closeness of the relationship between the two parties by browsing the messages on social networks...
Watching the hunters at work is a real treat.
Be targeted, clear and cautious, and solve one problem after another steadily and steadily. This is the routine of modern criminal investigation.
The hunters use mature routines to cover all possibilities, and they have ready-made tools to deal with every trick of the fugitives.
The opponents were like ants on hot pot, panicking and at a loss as to what to do, while the hunters followed the routine and responded to each move.
The cat and the mouse are not on the same latitude at all.
Professional vs. amateur, the difference is obvious.
But all of this was ineffective in front of Bifang.
This man clearly knew all the hunters' methods and knew how to deal with them.
Smarter, more skilled, more adept.
The hunter team tried every possible means to hunt down Bifang.
Hack into iCloud, monitor phone calls, emails and credit cards, check CCTV and automatic license plate recognition systems in the central database, post "wanted notices" on social media, offer rewards, and ask citizens to provide clues to help catch the suspect...
But for Bifang, all this is in vain.
Bifang and Yao Jun took the train and got off at random stations to see which one had the better scenery.
It's like a screen movie with gangsters as the protagonists. No matter what tricks the opponents use, the gangsters always win in the confrontation with the police.
They always appear in broad daylight and quickly disappear before the hunters arrive.
Or they might drive a luxury car rented from somewhere and spend money lavishly.
On the tenth day, the fourth group of fugitives was captured.
Bifang played a round of golf in Griffith Park and was extremely lucky, scoring a hole-in-one on a par-3 hole. He was given a red envelope of 3,000 Uk Dao coins on the spot and received another 10,000 Uk Dao coins as a reward from the golf course. His name was engraved on the organizer's list of hole-in-one heroes and he received a certificate.
When the hunters arrived, they only saw the names of the heroes written on the wall.
On the fourteenth day, the fifth group of fugitives was arrested.
Bifang and Yao Jun came to Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and had a Japanese meal.
Hunters get a copy of the harvest bill.
No one knows where their money comes from. Irving once suspected that the other party was cheating, but the answer given by the program team was that everything was in accordance with the procedure.
On the nineteenth day, the sixth group of fugitives was arrested.
There were only three groups still on the run. Two of them hid in rat holes, while Bifang and Yao Jun appeared on Sunset Boulevard.
This wide avenue shares the same name as the black-and-white film "Sunset Boulevard" produced by Paramount Pictures in the 1950s. The real Sunset Boulevard is located on Hollywood Boulevard, running through the city of Los Angeles. It is about 27 kilometers long, with endless palm trees and movie billboards on both sides of the road.
Take a stroll along Sunset Boulevard, check out the old records displayed on the counter, relive the tunes that moved your heart many years ago, and spend a leisurely afternoon.
Hunters who came here were rewarded with golden sunlight like broken stars.
On the 24th day, Group 7 disappeared from the program list.
Bifang stands in the Getty Center, a complex of six buildings with extensive gardens and 600 acres of natural wilderness.
It is also one of the richest art institutions in the world, housing the most exquisite manuscripts of famous works and old photos from the United States. It is one of the largest collections of similar artworks in the United States.
As soon as you step into this place, you feel like you have instantly become an artist.
When the hunter arrived, the drone overhead had already spotted the two people, but Bifang actually paid for souvenirs in public and turned a blind eye!
What was even more shocking was that they lost sight of the two men on the computer screen in less than ten minutes before the hunters arrived by helicopter.
On the twenty-seventh day, with only one day left before the end of the normal game, the eighth group of contestants was finally defeated and labeled as failures by the hunters.
Bifang and Yaojun...
They didn't go anywhere.
Yao Jun munched on the bread, touched his empty pockets, and sighed inwardly.
No money left.
This month was indeed very carefree, but the two of them couldn't help spending money like water.
With the support of 30,000 dollars from Mugalen and Bifang's great luck in hitting a hole-in-one, although he gave out 3,000 red envelopes, he also earned 7,000 dollars, a total of 37,000 dollars, which was spent without a penny left.
There were only two days left, and Bifang was too lazy to go back to the forest to hunt, so he simply spent these two days somewhere where no one would notice him.
On the evening of the 27th day of the second season of Undercover, Bifang and Yao Jun sat together on an abandoned bench, chatting briefly while watching the wild ducks landing on the lake and creating ripples.
The photographer stood behind his seat and recorded everything with his camera.
His hunch told him that after this episode of Undercover was aired, the ratings would definitely explode!
While they were chatting and laughing, at a certain point, Bifang slowly lowered his voice, took a long breath, and gradually changed the subject, as if focusing all his attention on the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Yao Jun didn't care and concentrated on eating the bread in his hand and eating his dinner.
After a moment, Bifang closed his eyes, and the faint blue light became clearer.

Three months later, the system issued another task, but it’s not over yet!
Move your eyes downward and the second task comes into view!
[Mission Name: Crossing Death]
[Mission location: Sahara Desert]
[Mission Mode: Crossing Dangerous Land]
[Mission Difficulty: T4]
[Task requirements: Cross the Sahara on foot. Do not use high-rated system equipment or any equipment other than that provided by the system.]
[Main Mission 1: Start live streaming, with more than 7 million people online at the same time]
[Side Quest: Self-Exploration]
[Note: The above two are joint tasks, with a total time limit of 120 days. You can choose which one comes first.]
[Note: One of the tasks can be selected as assistance, and only one person or one beast can be selected, and only one task can be selected. ]
[Guaranteed rewards: 2 high-level skill enhancement coupons, 1 muscle control coupon. . ]
Two tasks were released at the same time, Bifang had never experienced such an experience before.
There are two tasks, one is T5 and the other is T4. There is no doubt that they are extremely difficult, not to mention doing both together.
Not to mention the Sahara, the world's largest death desert, which is as large as the entire China.
Seen from the satellite, it looks like a huge and ugly scar, "lying" prominently on the African land. The environment in the scar is extremely harsh. Most of the area is discontinuous basins of varying sizes. There are many high mountains and extinct volcanoes in the central part. The ground is mainly gravel desert, rock desert and sand. It is desolate and barren, not suitable for the survival of organisms, and is known as the forbidden zone of life.
Point Nemo may seem unfamiliar. It is an artificially defined place and theoretically the farthest place from land on the earth's surface.
In the past when technology was underdeveloped, scientists had no idea of the existence of this point. It was not until the development of satellite technology that an engineering surveyor used a computer program to calculate the existence of Point Nemo.
Point Nemo is located at 48 degrees 52.6 minutes south latitude and 123 degrees 23.6 minutes west longitude.
When looking at Point Nemo from outside the Earth, the closest land to Point Nemo is three islands that are far away from each other. They are Mahe Island in Antarctica, Motunui Island in the southwestern corner of the Easter Islands to the northeast, and Ducie Island in the Pitcairn Islands to the north.
Of the three islands, Ducie Island is the closest to Point Nemo, but it is still 2,688 kilometers away.
If we draw a circle with Point Nemo as the center and a radius of 2,688 kilometers, the size of this circular area will be comparable to the entire North America!
Due to its special geographical location, scientists call it the loneliest place on earth, because it is a complete forbidden zone for life and basically no life can reproduce here. As for the creatures that reach here, there are even fewer.
Judging from the distance in space, the closest human being to here is actually the space station that occasionally flies through the sky at an altitude of 400 kilometers!
Of course, this is not the most difficult part. Bifang has some experience in dealing with such desperate situations.
But one hundred and twenty days, isn’t that too short?
The world record for Sahara hiking is 111 days, and this is with supplies. Without supplies, this time would be at least one-third longer!
The system only gives us 120 days. Not to mention completing two tasks at the same time, it is impossible to complete Sahara alone!
