"How much time was left?" Lin Yuan asked as he ran.
He was sprinting toward the custom sandboarding deck.
"Two minutes and forty-eight seconds." Meng Tao's voice came through the earpiece.
They had still lost time. An accident during the climb had left them with twelve seconds less than expected.
There was no time. Every second counted; every second of delay greatly increased the chance of the shoot failing.
According to Lin Yuan and Meng Tao's original plan, the final stretch of the sandboarding run involved using the Teramobile laser system alongside other methods to draw in lightning and complete the final leap.
If he could not reach the filming location at the scheduled time, this scene would likely fail!
Under these circumstances, Lin Yuan could not spare attention for anything else. He could only sprint forward, rush to the "coffin board," slip his feet into its grooves, and prepare to ride the sand.
"Filming is about to begin. Vehicle One, follow Route A as planned. Vehicle Two, follow Route B as planned." Director Miller's voice came through the communications channel.
"Wait. The thunderstorm is too intense. Use the backup plan." Meng Tao suddenly said.
"Understood. We'll use the backup plan according to Advisor Meng's instructions." Director Miller paused briefly before immediately confirming Meng Tao's filming plan.

Another bolt of lightning tore across the sky. A gigantic flash split the Taklamakan night in half, and its blinding light turned the entire sea of sand as bright as day.
That was already the fourth bolt of lightning!
The discharge channels kept stacking up, each one stronger
