Chapter 193: Extreme Speed
"Go back to Sydney, find 'ToSail, ToStop', and complete the sign-in. The first six teams to complete the sign-in will take the first flight to Broken Hill, and the rest of the teams can only take the second flight." Iraqi Li read the content on the clue card, turned to Xie Cheng and said, "Let's go, we must catch the first flight!"
"I hope the flight won't be delayed any more." Thinking of the previous flight experience, Xie Cheng wanted to sigh—it was a good lead, but he fell behind because of an accident. Fortunately, they completed the task quickly enough to avoid falling into the Dangerous bottom line, "What does 'ToSail, ToStop' mean, though? We'll have to ask someone."
"En." Yili nodded, put away the clue card, and returned along the original road with Xie Cheng.
Thankfully, this time they don't have to row one of those turtle-shell boats again, and there's a bridge to get them across.
But having said that, as long as you master the correct way of rowing and be careful enough, rowing is not very difficult.So, when Yili and Xie Cheng turned their heads while running, they already saw other teams were about to go ashore.
But for larger people, like the pair of black brothers, the task is too difficult.You know, when Yi Li and Xie Cheng sat on it, the waterline of the boat was already almost to the side of the boat, and if those two people were replaced, it would almost sink in seconds.Yili and Xie Cheng were a little worried about them, they only hoped that they wouldn't be stuck in this task for too long, otherwise, their situation would be in danger.
Soon, the two came to the pier, bought tickets, sat on the ferry, and waited for departure.
During this period of time, the father-daughter team, the Dunphys and his wife, and the pair of female soldiers also caught up.
The father-daughter team practiced the most times on the boat, and was also the first to learn Yili and Xie Cheng's new practice, and was the second team to get clue cards from the host;
The Dunphys were not slow either. They were in good health, in the prime of life, and they had been an old couple for many years. Not to mention the tacit understanding, they got the host's third clue card smoothly;
The female soldiers came from behind. There were other teams who came to the shore earlier than them, but they were stronger and better at learning. After getting the clue card from the host, they rushed all the way to the ferry. After buying the ticket quickly, I almost caught up with the ferry that was about to depart.
"Hello, I'm Chester, and this is Lilian." Xie Cheng was the first to talk to the father and daughter team. They were all busy with the task before, and no one was in the mood to socialize. Now, the last task has come to an end. They have no direct competition - the first six groups are all on the first flight, and they only have four groups here. As long as they are not overtaken by other teams, they can all get on the first flight, so they can sit down and have a good time. Chat for a day.
"I'm Ken." The middle-aged father shook hands with Xie Cheng, "This is my daughter, Brianna."
"Hello." Yili shook hands with them respectively.
Ken is also a typical middle-class man, similar to Mr. Dunphy, and his daughter Brianna is a little blonde beauty. It's different, it makes people feel good when they see her, she is the kind of girl who is naturally friendly to people.
It can be said that although Yili looks more delicate than her, but in terms of affinity, ten Yilis can't compare with this girl.Yili has never been the kind of person who is full of affinity. It can only be said that she has excellent social skills and can deal with various types of people, but she is not like this girl who has "Let's be good friends!" written all over her face. It makes people feel very kind, and when they see her, they can't help but want to smile.
Afterwards, the father-daughter group, the Deng Fei couple and the female soldier team also got to know each other, and everyone got to the point.
"Do you know where 'ToSail, ToStop' refers to?" Xie Cheng spoke first.
"No." "I don't know." "We don't know either." The three teams shook their heads.
"It seems that we can only ask others." Xie Cheng was not surprised by this answer.
"I saw someone swiping their mobile phone." Yili has been paying attention to her surroundings, and then she said——The happiness of living in the information age is that even if others don't know it, but the other party checks it with the mobile phone, they can always find it. Can find some useful information.The program team will not really give a location that is so remote that Google can't find it, then it is not a wayfinding task, it is embarrassing.
"Then let's go ask." The little blonde girl was the first to stand up and said to Yi Li.
"Okay." Yili didn't object either.Originally, when doing tasks, Xie Cheng would definitely take on a little more, especially in terms of physical strength, and it was impossible for Yili to just sit back and enjoy the benefits, and she would also do more things within her capacity, such as asking for directions and the like.
"Hello, I'm Brianna, may I bother you?" Brianna spoke to the other party first, using her natural skill "Invincible Smile"—not to mention the brown-haired boy who was being questioned, Even Yili next to her felt that she had been killed in seconds, and she just wanted to answer "Okay, okay".
"Hello." The brown-haired boy quickly took off his earphones and smiled back at Brianna.
"We would like to ask, do you know the place 'ToSail, ToStop'?" Brianna was encouraged by the smile of the brown-haired boy, letting her know that this is not a serious person, so she became more and more happy.
"Sorry, I don't know." The brown-haired boy shook his head.
"Then, can you help us Google it on your phone?" Brianna didn't just give up. The friendly attitude of the brown-haired boy made Brianna dare to continue asking, and she used a killer smile again, making the brown-haired little brother Brother unconsciously nodded.
"Okay, let me look it up." The brown-haired boy said, and he really found the relevant information, "Well... this is the urban art of Sydney, look, this picture is it, and this anchor is the name." The brown-haired boy pointed to the picture from Google.
"I think this is what we're looking for!" Brianna immediately shook Eli's hand excitedly.
"Yes, it should be it." Yili was stunned for a moment, and once again lamented the girl's super affinity—even she was about to fall, and asked the kind brown-haired brother, "Can you check it for us?" Where exactly?"
"Well, it's on the side of the city hall. It's a big sculpture. I think it should be very conspicuous." The brown-haired boy blushed a little, nodded, slid the webpage to the bottom, and told the location of the anchor. they.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Brianna happily gave each other a big hug.
"It's nothing." The brown-haired boy shook his head embarrassingly.
After saying goodbye to each other, the two quickly returned to their respective seats.
"That's right!" Brianna announced happily, "It's over there at the city hall, we can take a taxi there!"
"Wait, are there many taxis here? Should we call ahead to make an appointment?" Yili thought of another question.
"There should be quite a lot." Xie Cheng thought for a while and replied, "When I came here, I saw a lot of taxis by the pier."
"I think, just in case, we should make an appointment." Yili hesitated for a moment, and suggested - in this popular tourist spot, there are indeed many taxis in theory, but this kind of thing is really not afraid of ten thousand, Just in case.It is of course best to have a lot of empty cars, so that they can choose freely, but what if there are not enough?It would be too embarrassing for which team to play and which team not to play.Anyway, it's not troublesome to make an appointment, and the time on the cruise ship is also empty, so it's better to act.
"Okay." Xie Cheng also understood Yili's implication, and nodded immediately - in case there were not enough taxis by then, they would not be able to back down, and the other teams should be the same.The current progress seems to be going well, but who knows, after the concession, will other teams catch up while waiting for the taxi?They are willing to peacefully coexist with others without affecting their own game, but it is impossible to harm their own interests.Therefore, it is natural to do a good job in the preliminary work.
On this point, the other three teams have no objection, it is of course best to be just in case.They also don't want to destroy their flimsy friendship if they can. After all, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, don't they?
However, Yili and Xie Cheng's discussion also made them feel a little bit emotional. These two people really thought very carefully, almost planned everything in advance, and avoided all risks as much as possible. Their smooth journey along the way is not without reason Yes—the plane was a force majeure accident, and no one could do anything about it.But other than that, the two men did impeccable tasks, whether they were doing tasks or finding their way.At this moment, thinking of them being together with these two people, everyone felt a faint sense of security in their hearts~~~
Soon, the four teams booked their taxis using the phones on the cruise ship and waited for the ferry to dock.
"Is Chester's taxi available?"
"Dunphy! Is there a Dunphy's taxi?"
"Is Alison's taxi here?"
"Ken..."
The ferry docked, and the four teams tacitly found their own taxis separately.
"Mr. Dunphy, here!"
The Dunphys were the first to find their taxi.
"Chester! Chester!"
Yili and Xiecheng's taxis are also waiting here.
"Ken, who is Ken?"
"I'm!"
The father-daughter group also boarded their taxis.
"Alison, our car didn't come!" Seeing that the other three teams had set off, Jane frowned angrily.
"It's okay, let's go to the stop, there must be empty cars over there." Alison was very calm.
"But that's also behind." Zhen gritted her teeth angrily, they must be the most unlucky team in this period of rapid progress!Take a plane, the plane is late, order a taxi, the taxi will let them pigeons!Is there anyone more unlucky than them? !
"As long as we're faster than the other seven teams, the result won't matter!" Alison patted Jane on the shoulder and comforted her—six teams are in the first class, five teams are in the second class, as long as you don't fall to the second Echelon, it doesn't matter what else.
"Okay." Thinking of this, the unwillingness in Zhen's heart faded a little.
At this time, the three teams in the taxi were slightly relieved, but they were not completely relieved - it was approaching evening, and it was the rush hour for get off work, and the roads in this city were full of traffic jams, which made them stop from time to time. Come down and wait.All three teams were concerned that other teams would catch up and push them off the first flight.
"Sir, can you hurry up?" Claire, who was stuck in the traffic jam, was going crazy.
"It's okay, Claire." Phil, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't go to the back seat to hug Claire, so he could only comfort his wife with words, "We are blocked, and everyone else is blocked, it's all the same. Don't worry too much, dear .”
"Okay, Phil, I'm just..." Claire glanced at the photographer next to her, and sighed helplessly—with the photographer and the sound engineer following the one-kilowatt light bulb all the time, she didn't have any Opportunity to whisper something to her husband.
"It's okay, Claire, you can pretend that we don't exist." The photographer said sweetly.
"..." Two big living people stood here, how could it be possible to pretend that they didn't exist?Claire complained silently in her heart, but showed a polite smile on her face to the two staff members.
In the dismay of the contestants, the taxi finally arrived near the city hall.
"If you walk in from here, you will see the sculpture of the big anchor." The driver said to Xie Cheng and Yi Li.
"Okay, thank you!" Yili thanked the driver, paid the fare, and then got out of the car with Xie Cheng.
"Is everything there?" Xie Cheng confirmed to Yi Li.
"It's all there." Yili confirmed her belongings, and nodded to Xie Cheng.
"Okay, let's go." Xie Cheng glanced at the seat again to confirm that the two of them did not leave anything behind, and then ran to the direction pointed by the driver with Yili—if any contestant took passports and other important If something falls on the car, there is no place to cry, and it is absolutely fatal to the race schedule.Therefore, Yili and Xie Cheng always check their belongings in case of accidents.
Followed by the photographer and sound engineer, the two quickly ran towards the sculpture.
"You are here." The father and daughter group greeted them happily.What surprised the two of them was that the two female soldiers also arrived here one step ahead of them. You must know that these two people started one step later than them.Sure enough, for some teams, traffic jams are a bad thing, but for other teams, traffic jams may not be an opportunity.
"Are we the third group?" Xie Cheng and Yi Li didn't care about the third sign-in, anyway, the first six were the same.
"Yes, come here to sign!" Brianna said to them enthusiastically - before, she and her father were clearly a big step ahead of others, but they were overtaken in the end, which made her a little depressed, but Now, this depression has completely dissipated, and she and her father have become No.1 again!Although there was no real reward for the first place this time, it made her somewhat happier.
"Thank you." Yili also smiled at the little blond beauty, stepped forward and wrote her and Xie in the third position.
On the side, Brianna's father raised his eyebrows in surprise—he thought that the young man was the leader of the couple, but he didn't expect it to be this girl now.This girl doesn't seem to be a particularly strong type either. She can tell she has her own opinions in her speech, but she doesn't mean to ask others to obey her blindly.In this case, it should be that this young man is simply... willing to listen to her... nothing more.And this kind of willingness is the greatest respect and tolerance between lovers.
"By the way, why didn't you go to the airport?" Yili asked the two teams who arrived first while looking at the airport and flight information on the side of the sign-in board - if it was her and Xie Cheng, they would definitely be non-stop rushed to the airport.
"In fact, we arrived a few minutes earlier than you, and you arrived after just a few words," Brianna said.
"That's it." Yili nodded, and said to Xie Cheng next to her, "We are departing from Sydney Airport this time, the plane is at 06 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the other flight is at 30:[-] tomorrow morning." That is explain……
"En." Xie Cheng also nodded, this should be the first balance point of this schedule.
The balance point, as the name suggests, is to balance the progress gap between the various teams, not to let the vanguard lead too much, and to give the lagging team a chance to catch up.
Just like now, even if they have already come here, they still have to wait until tomorrow to start, and even if the later teams do the task slowly, they can finish it before tomorrow morning (even if they choose to give up and wait for the time penalty), They will definitely be able to catch the second flight, return to the same starting point with the next five teams, and narrow the gap with the first six teams, and maybe they can complete a comeback.
In extreme speed, the situation that the latecomers often appear is the role of the balance point.Otherwise, one team is always far ahead, one step ahead, one step at a time, so what's the point of other teams?The program group must give other teams a chance to catch up to No.1, and also give the last team a chance to stand up. This is the highlight of the program.
"Actually, we are discussing whether to find a place to stay or go directly to the airport. The plane takes off at six o'clock. Let's find a hotel not far from the airport. We will stay here now and get up at two o'clock in the middle of the night. We must make it in time." Otherwise, now Just go to the airport and sit there until tomorrow morning, that's going to be hell.Brianna looked at Eli, eager to hear her opinion.
"We..." Yili looked at Xie Cheng. She didn't want to risk oversleeping and go to the hotel. It's perfectly fine to deal with it at the airport. This is the first night, and they are still full of energy. Resting to replenish physical strength, Xie Cheng also shook his head slightly at her, seeming to agree with her thoughts, "We are going to go directly to the airport. After all, our budget is relatively limited. I don't know if it will be enough in the future. So this time..." Yi Li gave an appropriate reason.
"Okay, Dad, let's go to the airport too." Brianna hesitated for a while, and gave up the accommodation.
"Okay, it's all up to you." Her father patted her on the shoulder indulgently, as if she would do whatever she said.
On the other side, neither Alison nor Jen made a statement, but they obviously had the same idea as Yili—rather than trying to rest at this time, it is better to save money, avoid risks, and focus on the competition.
So, the three teams set off to the airport again.
"Lilian, where are you going?" Brianna, who was about to take a taxi on the side of the road, looked in surprise at Yili and Xie Cheng who were walking in the other direction, and Alison and Jane also looked at them.
"We're going to see if we can go there by light rail or train, or by bus." Yili turned her head and explained to Brianna, "I think it's not close to the airport from here, and taking public transportation can save a lot of budget."
Regardless of the country, taxis are definitely the most expensive form of transportation.Of course, there are more expensive travel methods such as airplanes, but for the contestants, the program team will give them a special credit card, which can only be used to swipe the ticket, and it can only be in economy class, unless the airline automatically upgrades them. cabin, in short, air tickets do not need to be considered in the budget.
But for them now, there is still a lot of time anyway, and they will board the plane tomorrow morning. They don't race against time at all, and they will definitely be able to catch up.At this time, of course, there is no need to take a taxi like catching up with the task, and saving a little is a little bit.
You must know that in many schedules, some players often have problems with insufficient funds in the later stage, so they can only ask passers-by for help-to put it bluntly, it is begging.Yili wasn't sure she could do such a thing—to be honest, with her personality, it was really difficult for her, so she wanted to use the money wisely, such as when rushing to errands.For now, save a lot.
However, this might also be a senseless hypocrisy. After all, in previous games, in order to win, they even did such things as selling miserably. Now, it seems that it is nothing if they fall below the bottom line a little bit.However, if possible, Yili still hopes to maintain the last bit of dignity, not belonging to the reincarnation, not to the contestants, but to the dignity of ordinary people.
But, if it really comes to the end of the ropes, then, as long as they can stay in the competition, as long as they can win the competition, no matter what, she and Xie Cheng will still do it, no matter how shameful or despised...
But now, the eyes of the others who heard the plan of the two couldn't help but light up.
"Then let's go together!" Brianna came over like a little tail, warmly embraced Yili's arm, her face was full of - God!Seeking band!Seriously, if Yili hadn't mentioned the budget, she would have forgotten about it!Of course, the budget is to save as much as possible. Public transportation is much more economical than taxis!
"We need to ask the way first." Yili didn't talk too much. After all, she has never traveled to Australia. She has traveled more in Europe and Asia, but travel and competition are completely different things. At least, travel is about buying, buying, and competition. It's saving, saving...
"Leave it to me!" Brianna patted her chest - asking for directions, she is a professional!
So, under Yili's guiding ideology and Brianna's powerful action, the six people - Alison and Jane said please take them - bought tickets, water and food at the convenience store (the food at the airport is too much) Wife is expensive), and other necessities, and then got on the train and rushed to the airport.
Silent all night.
At five o'clock in the morning, the contestants woke up one after another. After hurriedly washing up in the bathroom, they went to the counter to get their boarding pass and waited at the boarding gate for boarding.Everyone's movements are quiet, and obviously they don't want to wake up others. Of course, the reason is not because they don't want to wake up others with good intentions, but because they secretly think that it would be fine if someone overslept - which is not impossible. Things, in previous competitions, there was indeed such a situation, and it was of course welcome to other players.
After several hours of flight, the first batch of six teams finally arrived at their second competition city - Broken Hill.
According to the instructions of the clue card, the six teams went straight to the parking lot after leaving the airport. After choosing a car provided by the sponsor, they set off for the new mission location.
"The clue card says we're going to live in the desert." Yili sat on the passenger seat and said to Xie Cheng, "According to the map, we should go inland after we get out of the parking lot, but I'm not sure where to go. We'd better find a place to ask later to see if there is a gas station or something like that."
"Okay." Xie Cheng started the car while listening to Yili's instructions.
Australia drives on the right and drives on the left, just the opposite of the US.
Those who have practiced in advance like Xie Cheng are fine. If it is the first time to try right-hand drive, then it will take a while to get used to it.
Maybe it was because of Yili and Xie Cheng's outstanding performance all the way, when they drove out of the parking lot, the other five teams followed closely behind them - of course, it could also be because their destinations were all the same , so it happened to be driving on the same road, it's just a pure coincidence.
For the first 10 minutes, Yili really thought so, but after 10 minutes, Yili changed her mind-when they stopped at California Station to ask directions, five other cars stopped at them in unison. Behind them, there were people poking their heads out of the car window, looking at them in puzzlement, not knowing why they stopped suddenly.
"..." Yili was very powerless for a moment—won't it be so obvious!
"Let's go." After asking the most convenient route from the staff at the gas station, Yili returned to the car, fastened her seat belt, and then said to Xie Cheng——The desert on the map is patchy, Yili Not sure which way to go in to see the desert sign.In theory, they should have to find the next clue box over the signboard to get a new clue card.
"Okay." Xie Cheng saw the vehicles that continued to follow them from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help being a little amused, "Don't be angry, it's nothing, at least it guarantees that we are the first to arrive, isn't it?"
"I'm not angry, but I'm a little... don't know what to say." Rather than being angry, it's better to be angry and funny, but this is also the other party's freedom, and she can't interfere with anything.Just like Xie Cheng said, at least they don't have to worry about others driving in front of them, which is another advantage...
In this helpless mood, the two finally saw their target - the red and yellow clue box of the program group!
"It's here." Yili and Xie Cheng got out of the car, took out a clue card from the clue box, and read it out according to the requirements of the program group, "Detour mission: contestants have to choose from two traditional customs handed down by the local aborigines to this day." One is complete, the spiritual world or the natural world. Which one should we choose?" Yi Li asked Xie Cheng.
"It's okay." Xie Cheng actually had a difficult choice...
"I don't know either, so let's be the first one." Yili made a decisive decision.
"Okay." Xie Cheng said bluntly - since the decision-making power has been handed over, there should be no more entanglements. In that case, it will only make the person who makes the decision feel uncomfortable, so Xie Cheng agrees with Yili 100% decision.
After making a decision, Yili continued to read the task content on the reverse side, "In the spiritual world, contestants must use traditional materials to create a mosaic pattern that is the same as the example. Once completed, contestants must dance on the pattern to encourage ancestors Wait, does this ontopof mean to let us stand on the pattern?" Yili couldn't help but wonder.
She is not an American, and English is not her mother tongue. Although it is no problem to read through and understand daily communication, but combined with the context, she occasionally encounters some doubts. Just like now, the meaning of the phrase is no problem. Putting it in a sentence, she Not sure, this can only be answered by Xie Cheng.
"Yes, that's what it means." Xie Cheng nodded without hesitation.
"Okay." Yili accepted the statement.
When the two had chosen their tasks and walked towards the direction indicated by the road signs, the teams behind them also came one after another.
After simply reading the mission description, the contestants all chose the first mission unanimously.
In the middle of the brick-red sand, both Yili and Xie Cheng saw their mission template this time.
It was a square pattern painted on the ground, with various colors of sand and stones in the middle to outline a natural and primitive pattern.And around this template, the same square sand is circled for the contestants to use. The pattern lines have been outlined in the box, and all they have to do is to fill it with sand of different colors.
If Yili can describe it, it is like the sand painting she played in the park when she was a child. She tore off the stickers and sprinkled sand in the area that had been outlined before, finally forming a beautiful sand painting.Of course, there's no stickers here to separate the areas for them, which means it's easy to bleed if you're not careful.
Xie Cheng looked at the pattern, and then looked at the piles of sand and gravel of various colors a little far away. They should be the raw materials they will use for the painting. It seems that they have to transport them here by themselves.
Xie Cheng thought for a while, and said to Yili, "I'll transport the sand, and you will fill in the sand."
This kind of division of labor is a more efficient approach, and it is enough for the two to focus on completing their own parts.It's just that Xie Cheng, who is running back and forth, is bound to have a hard time, while Yi Li, who draws according to the mosaic pattern on the spot, will be much more relaxed.
"Okay." Yili still agreed, this is the tacit understanding between the two, and it is also Xie Cheng's silent consideration for her.
Unfortunately, the program team did not provide any transportation tools, which means that Xie Cheng had to find a way to transport the sand back by himself.It is obviously unrealistic to hold it with hands, it is rare, and it is easy to leak light, so he immediately came up with a way to use the hem of the clothes to pocket it - but, using this method, the clothes were immediately dirty and unreadable.
However, now is not the time to pity clothes, nor is it time to love cleanliness. Xie Cheng knelt down in the sand without any hesitation, pulled out the hem of the clothes, pressed them on the ground, swept in large swaths of black sand, and then transported them to Iraq. next to Li.
"Is there enough black sand?" Xie Cheng asked while carefully pouring the sand on the place Yili chose.
"Not enough, there needs to be more black sand, you have to transport it twice." Yi Li looked at Xie Cheng's sand-filled nails and whispered—everyone who played with sand when he was a child knows that those who play with sand At that time, the most annoying thing was that the sand ran into the nails, which was really painful and sad, but now, Xie Cheng obviously couldn't take this into consideration.
"Well, then I'll carry it two more times." Xie Cheng shook the hem of his clothes, emptied the sand, and agreed without further ado.
Other teams also started to do the task one after another.
Some are like Eli Xiecheng, one person is responsible for transporting the sand, and the other is responsible for painting; but more often, two people transport the sand together, and then compare the mosaic pattern together, and fill the sand into the pattern grid respectively.It's hard to say which method is better, but obviously, the person who transports the sand will get messy and disheveled, while the person who does the painting will be much cleaner.
At the beginning, the players used the hem of their clothes to transport the sand with restraint.
However, soon, the contestants let themselves go, taking off their jackets, taking off their shirts, leaving a vest inside, and the rough ones were naked, and then put the clothes they took off on Lay it on the ground, sweep all the sand in, and take the clothes wrapped in a pile of sand back as a big package—the efficiency rises linearly.
Xie Cheng also took off his shirt, sweating profusely like everyone else, carrying sand back and forth, but he was still wearing a white racer-shaped vest, so he wouldn't be naked, but even so, you can see that he looks good waistline.As he walked and panted, the slightly sweaty vest almost revealed his beautiful waist muscles.Not only some female players, but even the indigenous girls beside them would glance at Xie Cheng intentionally or unintentionally.
"I'll move it together too." Yili didn't pay attention to that at all, she only noticed the thin sweat dripping from Xie Cheng's face and arms -- the moving work done by two people in other groups was on their side But Xie Cheng did it alone, exhaustion was inevitable, and she didn't want to sit and watch Xie Cheng work hard by himself.
"It's okay, you can just keep painting, I'm not tired." Xie Cheng understood Yili's thoughts, but he still shook his head, "Isn't our current progress just right? You can finish the sand I brought back. We Faster than the other teams!"
Speaking of this, Xie Cheng grinned, his eyes were shining brightly.
At some point, five other teams also arrived here. Since the departure, eleven teams gathered together for the first time.It can be seen that in the last relay station, the host did not eliminate any team, and every team stayed.Now, everyone's progress is the same, and whoever does it faster will be the leader in the task of making patterns!
"..." Seeing Xie Cheng's insistence, Yili didn't insist on moving the sand anymore. Instead of wasting time convincing each other, it's better to complete the task earlier and see if there is a chance for Xie Cheng to rest.Yili has secretly decided that the next task must be done by her...
Black sand, brown gravel, and white sand blocks slowly form an ancient picture.
Before Yili and Xie Cheng, some teams had already completed their designs, and they couldn't wait to run to the old native lady nearby to ask for a pass-through card.Unfortunately, the native old lady shook her head and refused.Obviously, they did something wrong, which is why the old lady refused to give them the pass-through card.
"What's wrong?" Sean muttered to their designs—it's rare that they finished it so quickly, but unexpectedly, they were called back by the old lady for acceptance, which really discouraged their enthusiasm for the task!
"Details, we must pay attention to details!" His teammate Dexter emphasized, "Compare the patterns carefully to see if we have overlooked anything! As long as we find out this problem, we will be the first to complete the task!"
"Okay." Sean continued to frown and think hard.
Seeing that someone has already completed the task (although it failed), the other contestants have also accelerated their movements, lest they fall behind!
"Okay!" When Xie Cheng brought the brown sand back for the last time, Yili spread it out with her hands, trying not to waste a single sand, and carefully filled up the last corner, before she said to Xie Cheng.
"Then?" Xie Cheng remembered what to do after drawing the pattern.
"And then dance on the pattern." Yili frowned, "What kind of dance?"
"Indigenous dance?" Xie Cheng wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, but left a gray trace, "I'll ask these natives, maybe they know something."
"Let me go." Yili stood up and walked to the boys and girls with painted patterns on their faces, "Do you know what dance we are going to dance? Can you help us?"
"..." The boys and girls looked at each other and shook their heads at Yili.
"Aren't you a part of this mission?" Yili asked cautiously.
"..." The boys and girls shook their heads again.
"Okay." Yili turned back to Xie Cheng, "They didn't answer me either, maybe, let us play freely?"
"Then, try?" Xie Cheng scratched his cheek.
"Okay." Yili had no objection, after all, there was no request for any dance on the clue card.
The two stood on the pattern carefully, fearing that they would step on the pattern, and then walked around the pattern twice, then raised their hands and waved their arms, as if they were dancing like an Indian——Ili felt
"I hope the flight won't be delayed any more." Thinking of the previous flight experience, Xie Cheng wanted to sigh—it was a good lead, but he fell behind because of an accident. Fortunately, they completed the task quickly enough to avoid falling into the Dangerous bottom line, "What does 'ToSail, ToStop' mean, though? We'll have to ask someone."
"En." Yili nodded, put away the clue card, and returned along the original road with Xie Cheng.
Thankfully, this time they don't have to row one of those turtle-shell boats again, and there's a bridge to get them across.
But having said that, as long as you master the correct way of rowing and be careful enough, rowing is not very difficult.So, when Yili and Xie Cheng turned their heads while running, they already saw other teams were about to go ashore.
But for larger people, like the pair of black brothers, the task is too difficult.You know, when Yi Li and Xie Cheng sat on it, the waterline of the boat was already almost to the side of the boat, and if those two people were replaced, it would almost sink in seconds.Yili and Xie Cheng were a little worried about them, they only hoped that they wouldn't be stuck in this task for too long, otherwise, their situation would be in danger.
Soon, the two came to the pier, bought tickets, sat on the ferry, and waited for departure.
During this period of time, the father-daughter team, the Dunphys and his wife, and the pair of female soldiers also caught up.
The father-daughter team practiced the most times on the boat, and was also the first to learn Yili and Xie Cheng's new practice, and was the second team to get clue cards from the host;
The Dunphys were not slow either. They were in good health, in the prime of life, and they had been an old couple for many years. Not to mention the tacit understanding, they got the host's third clue card smoothly;
The female soldiers came from behind. There were other teams who came to the shore earlier than them, but they were stronger and better at learning. After getting the clue card from the host, they rushed all the way to the ferry. After buying the ticket quickly, I almost caught up with the ferry that was about to depart.
"Hello, I'm Chester, and this is Lilian." Xie Cheng was the first to talk to the father and daughter team. They were all busy with the task before, and no one was in the mood to socialize. Now, the last task has come to an end. They have no direct competition - the first six groups are all on the first flight, and they only have four groups here. As long as they are not overtaken by other teams, they can all get on the first flight, so they can sit down and have a good time. Chat for a day.
"I'm Ken." The middle-aged father shook hands with Xie Cheng, "This is my daughter, Brianna."
"Hello." Yili shook hands with them respectively.
Ken is also a typical middle-class man, similar to Mr. Dunphy, and his daughter Brianna is a little blonde beauty. It's different, it makes people feel good when they see her, she is the kind of girl who is naturally friendly to people.
It can be said that although Yili looks more delicate than her, but in terms of affinity, ten Yilis can't compare with this girl.Yili has never been the kind of person who is full of affinity. It can only be said that she has excellent social skills and can deal with various types of people, but she is not like this girl who has "Let's be good friends!" written all over her face. It makes people feel very kind, and when they see her, they can't help but want to smile.
Afterwards, the father-daughter group, the Deng Fei couple and the female soldier team also got to know each other, and everyone got to the point.
"Do you know where 'ToSail, ToStop' refers to?" Xie Cheng spoke first.
"No." "I don't know." "We don't know either." The three teams shook their heads.
"It seems that we can only ask others." Xie Cheng was not surprised by this answer.
"I saw someone swiping their mobile phone." Yili has been paying attention to her surroundings, and then she said——The happiness of living in the information age is that even if others don't know it, but the other party checks it with the mobile phone, they can always find it. Can find some useful information.The program team will not really give a location that is so remote that Google can't find it, then it is not a wayfinding task, it is embarrassing.
"Then let's go ask." The little blonde girl was the first to stand up and said to Yi Li.
"Okay." Yili didn't object either.Originally, when doing tasks, Xie Cheng would definitely take on a little more, especially in terms of physical strength, and it was impossible for Yili to just sit back and enjoy the benefits, and she would also do more things within her capacity, such as asking for directions and the like.
"Hello, I'm Brianna, may I bother you?" Brianna spoke to the other party first, using her natural skill "Invincible Smile"—not to mention the brown-haired boy who was being questioned, Even Yili next to her felt that she had been killed in seconds, and she just wanted to answer "Okay, okay".
"Hello." The brown-haired boy quickly took off his earphones and smiled back at Brianna.
"We would like to ask, do you know the place 'ToSail, ToStop'?" Brianna was encouraged by the smile of the brown-haired boy, letting her know that this is not a serious person, so she became more and more happy.
"Sorry, I don't know." The brown-haired boy shook his head.
"Then, can you help us Google it on your phone?" Brianna didn't just give up. The friendly attitude of the brown-haired boy made Brianna dare to continue asking, and she used a killer smile again, making the brown-haired little brother Brother unconsciously nodded.
"Okay, let me look it up." The brown-haired boy said, and he really found the relevant information, "Well... this is the urban art of Sydney, look, this picture is it, and this anchor is the name." The brown-haired boy pointed to the picture from Google.
"I think this is what we're looking for!" Brianna immediately shook Eli's hand excitedly.
"Yes, it should be it." Yili was stunned for a moment, and once again lamented the girl's super affinity—even she was about to fall, and asked the kind brown-haired brother, "Can you check it for us?" Where exactly?"
"Well, it's on the side of the city hall. It's a big sculpture. I think it should be very conspicuous." The brown-haired boy blushed a little, nodded, slid the webpage to the bottom, and told the location of the anchor. they.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Brianna happily gave each other a big hug.
"It's nothing." The brown-haired boy shook his head embarrassingly.
After saying goodbye to each other, the two quickly returned to their respective seats.
"That's right!" Brianna announced happily, "It's over there at the city hall, we can take a taxi there!"
"Wait, are there many taxis here? Should we call ahead to make an appointment?" Yili thought of another question.
"There should be quite a lot." Xie Cheng thought for a while and replied, "When I came here, I saw a lot of taxis by the pier."
"I think, just in case, we should make an appointment." Yili hesitated for a moment, and suggested - in this popular tourist spot, there are indeed many taxis in theory, but this kind of thing is really not afraid of ten thousand, Just in case.It is of course best to have a lot of empty cars, so that they can choose freely, but what if there are not enough?It would be too embarrassing for which team to play and which team not to play.Anyway, it's not troublesome to make an appointment, and the time on the cruise ship is also empty, so it's better to act.
"Okay." Xie Cheng also understood Yili's implication, and nodded immediately - in case there were not enough taxis by then, they would not be able to back down, and the other teams should be the same.The current progress seems to be going well, but who knows, after the concession, will other teams catch up while waiting for the taxi?They are willing to peacefully coexist with others without affecting their own game, but it is impossible to harm their own interests.Therefore, it is natural to do a good job in the preliminary work.
On this point, the other three teams have no objection, it is of course best to be just in case.They also don't want to destroy their flimsy friendship if they can. After all, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies, don't they?
However, Yili and Xie Cheng's discussion also made them feel a little bit emotional. These two people really thought very carefully, almost planned everything in advance, and avoided all risks as much as possible. Their smooth journey along the way is not without reason Yes—the plane was a force majeure accident, and no one could do anything about it.But other than that, the two men did impeccable tasks, whether they were doing tasks or finding their way.At this moment, thinking of them being together with these two people, everyone felt a faint sense of security in their hearts~~~
Soon, the four teams booked their taxis using the phones on the cruise ship and waited for the ferry to dock.
"Is Chester's taxi available?"
"Dunphy! Is there a Dunphy's taxi?"
"Is Alison's taxi here?"
"Ken..."
The ferry docked, and the four teams tacitly found their own taxis separately.
"Mr. Dunphy, here!"
The Dunphys were the first to find their taxi.
"Chester! Chester!"
Yili and Xiecheng's taxis are also waiting here.
"Ken, who is Ken?"
"I'm!"
The father-daughter group also boarded their taxis.
"Alison, our car didn't come!" Seeing that the other three teams had set off, Jane frowned angrily.
"It's okay, let's go to the stop, there must be empty cars over there." Alison was very calm.
"But that's also behind." Zhen gritted her teeth angrily, they must be the most unlucky team in this period of rapid progress!Take a plane, the plane is late, order a taxi, the taxi will let them pigeons!Is there anyone more unlucky than them? !
"As long as we're faster than the other seven teams, the result won't matter!" Alison patted Jane on the shoulder and comforted her—six teams are in the first class, five teams are in the second class, as long as you don't fall to the second Echelon, it doesn't matter what else.
"Okay." Thinking of this, the unwillingness in Zhen's heart faded a little.
At this time, the three teams in the taxi were slightly relieved, but they were not completely relieved - it was approaching evening, and it was the rush hour for get off work, and the roads in this city were full of traffic jams, which made them stop from time to time. Come down and wait.All three teams were concerned that other teams would catch up and push them off the first flight.
"Sir, can you hurry up?" Claire, who was stuck in the traffic jam, was going crazy.
"It's okay, Claire." Phil, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't go to the back seat to hug Claire, so he could only comfort his wife with words, "We are blocked, and everyone else is blocked, it's all the same. Don't worry too much, dear .”
"Okay, Phil, I'm just..." Claire glanced at the photographer next to her, and sighed helplessly—with the photographer and the sound engineer following the one-kilowatt light bulb all the time, she didn't have any Opportunity to whisper something to her husband.
"It's okay, Claire, you can pretend that we don't exist." The photographer said sweetly.
"..." Two big living people stood here, how could it be possible to pretend that they didn't exist?Claire complained silently in her heart, but showed a polite smile on her face to the two staff members.
In the dismay of the contestants, the taxi finally arrived near the city hall.
"If you walk in from here, you will see the sculpture of the big anchor." The driver said to Xie Cheng and Yi Li.
"Okay, thank you!" Yili thanked the driver, paid the fare, and then got out of the car with Xie Cheng.
"Is everything there?" Xie Cheng confirmed to Yi Li.
"It's all there." Yili confirmed her belongings, and nodded to Xie Cheng.
"Okay, let's go." Xie Cheng glanced at the seat again to confirm that the two of them did not leave anything behind, and then ran to the direction pointed by the driver with Yili—if any contestant took passports and other important If something falls on the car, there is no place to cry, and it is absolutely fatal to the race schedule.Therefore, Yili and Xie Cheng always check their belongings in case of accidents.
Followed by the photographer and sound engineer, the two quickly ran towards the sculpture.
"You are here." The father and daughter group greeted them happily.What surprised the two of them was that the two female soldiers also arrived here one step ahead of them. You must know that these two people started one step later than them.Sure enough, for some teams, traffic jams are a bad thing, but for other teams, traffic jams may not be an opportunity.
"Are we the third group?" Xie Cheng and Yi Li didn't care about the third sign-in, anyway, the first six were the same.
"Yes, come here to sign!" Brianna said to them enthusiastically - before, she and her father were clearly a big step ahead of others, but they were overtaken in the end, which made her a little depressed, but Now, this depression has completely dissipated, and she and her father have become No.1 again!Although there was no real reward for the first place this time, it made her somewhat happier.
"Thank you." Yili also smiled at the little blond beauty, stepped forward and wrote her and Xie in the third position.
On the side, Brianna's father raised his eyebrows in surprise—he thought that the young man was the leader of the couple, but he didn't expect it to be this girl now.This girl doesn't seem to be a particularly strong type either. She can tell she has her own opinions in her speech, but she doesn't mean to ask others to obey her blindly.In this case, it should be that this young man is simply... willing to listen to her... nothing more.And this kind of willingness is the greatest respect and tolerance between lovers.
"By the way, why didn't you go to the airport?" Yili asked the two teams who arrived first while looking at the airport and flight information on the side of the sign-in board - if it was her and Xie Cheng, they would definitely be non-stop rushed to the airport.
"In fact, we arrived a few minutes earlier than you, and you arrived after just a few words," Brianna said.
"That's it." Yili nodded, and said to Xie Cheng next to her, "We are departing from Sydney Airport this time, the plane is at 06 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the other flight is at 30:[-] tomorrow morning." That is explain……
"En." Xie Cheng also nodded, this should be the first balance point of this schedule.
The balance point, as the name suggests, is to balance the progress gap between the various teams, not to let the vanguard lead too much, and to give the lagging team a chance to catch up.
Just like now, even if they have already come here, they still have to wait until tomorrow to start, and even if the later teams do the task slowly, they can finish it before tomorrow morning (even if they choose to give up and wait for the time penalty), They will definitely be able to catch the second flight, return to the same starting point with the next five teams, and narrow the gap with the first six teams, and maybe they can complete a comeback.
In extreme speed, the situation that the latecomers often appear is the role of the balance point.Otherwise, one team is always far ahead, one step ahead, one step at a time, so what's the point of other teams?The program group must give other teams a chance to catch up to No.1, and also give the last team a chance to stand up. This is the highlight of the program.
"Actually, we are discussing whether to find a place to stay or go directly to the airport. The plane takes off at six o'clock. Let's find a hotel not far from the airport. We will stay here now and get up at two o'clock in the middle of the night. We must make it in time." Otherwise, now Just go to the airport and sit there until tomorrow morning, that's going to be hell.Brianna looked at Eli, eager to hear her opinion.
"We..." Yili looked at Xie Cheng. She didn't want to risk oversleeping and go to the hotel. It's perfectly fine to deal with it at the airport. This is the first night, and they are still full of energy. Resting to replenish physical strength, Xie Cheng also shook his head slightly at her, seeming to agree with her thoughts, "We are going to go directly to the airport. After all, our budget is relatively limited. I don't know if it will be enough in the future. So this time..." Yi Li gave an appropriate reason.
"Okay, Dad, let's go to the airport too." Brianna hesitated for a while, and gave up the accommodation.
"Okay, it's all up to you." Her father patted her on the shoulder indulgently, as if she would do whatever she said.
On the other side, neither Alison nor Jen made a statement, but they obviously had the same idea as Yili—rather than trying to rest at this time, it is better to save money, avoid risks, and focus on the competition.
So, the three teams set off to the airport again.
"Lilian, where are you going?" Brianna, who was about to take a taxi on the side of the road, looked in surprise at Yili and Xie Cheng who were walking in the other direction, and Alison and Jane also looked at them.
"We're going to see if we can go there by light rail or train, or by bus." Yili turned her head and explained to Brianna, "I think it's not close to the airport from here, and taking public transportation can save a lot of budget."
Regardless of the country, taxis are definitely the most expensive form of transportation.Of course, there are more expensive travel methods such as airplanes, but for the contestants, the program team will give them a special credit card, which can only be used to swipe the ticket, and it can only be in economy class, unless the airline automatically upgrades them. cabin, in short, air tickets do not need to be considered in the budget.
But for them now, there is still a lot of time anyway, and they will board the plane tomorrow morning. They don't race against time at all, and they will definitely be able to catch up.At this time, of course, there is no need to take a taxi like catching up with the task, and saving a little is a little bit.
You must know that in many schedules, some players often have problems with insufficient funds in the later stage, so they can only ask passers-by for help-to put it bluntly, it is begging.Yili wasn't sure she could do such a thing—to be honest, with her personality, it was really difficult for her, so she wanted to use the money wisely, such as when rushing to errands.For now, save a lot.
However, this might also be a senseless hypocrisy. After all, in previous games, in order to win, they even did such things as selling miserably. Now, it seems that it is nothing if they fall below the bottom line a little bit.However, if possible, Yili still hopes to maintain the last bit of dignity, not belonging to the reincarnation, not to the contestants, but to the dignity of ordinary people.
But, if it really comes to the end of the ropes, then, as long as they can stay in the competition, as long as they can win the competition, no matter what, she and Xie Cheng will still do it, no matter how shameful or despised...
But now, the eyes of the others who heard the plan of the two couldn't help but light up.
"Then let's go together!" Brianna came over like a little tail, warmly embraced Yili's arm, her face was full of - God!Seeking band!Seriously, if Yili hadn't mentioned the budget, she would have forgotten about it!Of course, the budget is to save as much as possible. Public transportation is much more economical than taxis!
"We need to ask the way first." Yili didn't talk too much. After all, she has never traveled to Australia. She has traveled more in Europe and Asia, but travel and competition are completely different things. At least, travel is about buying, buying, and competition. It's saving, saving...
"Leave it to me!" Brianna patted her chest - asking for directions, she is a professional!
So, under Yili's guiding ideology and Brianna's powerful action, the six people - Alison and Jane said please take them - bought tickets, water and food at the convenience store (the food at the airport is too much) Wife is expensive), and other necessities, and then got on the train and rushed to the airport.
Silent all night.
At five o'clock in the morning, the contestants woke up one after another. After hurriedly washing up in the bathroom, they went to the counter to get their boarding pass and waited at the boarding gate for boarding.Everyone's movements are quiet, and obviously they don't want to wake up others. Of course, the reason is not because they don't want to wake up others with good intentions, but because they secretly think that it would be fine if someone overslept - which is not impossible. Things, in previous competitions, there was indeed such a situation, and it was of course welcome to other players.
After several hours of flight, the first batch of six teams finally arrived at their second competition city - Broken Hill.
According to the instructions of the clue card, the six teams went straight to the parking lot after leaving the airport. After choosing a car provided by the sponsor, they set off for the new mission location.
"The clue card says we're going to live in the desert." Yili sat on the passenger seat and said to Xie Cheng, "According to the map, we should go inland after we get out of the parking lot, but I'm not sure where to go. We'd better find a place to ask later to see if there is a gas station or something like that."
"Okay." Xie Cheng started the car while listening to Yili's instructions.
Australia drives on the right and drives on the left, just the opposite of the US.
Those who have practiced in advance like Xie Cheng are fine. If it is the first time to try right-hand drive, then it will take a while to get used to it.
Maybe it was because of Yili and Xie Cheng's outstanding performance all the way, when they drove out of the parking lot, the other five teams followed closely behind them - of course, it could also be because their destinations were all the same , so it happened to be driving on the same road, it's just a pure coincidence.
For the first 10 minutes, Yili really thought so, but after 10 minutes, Yili changed her mind-when they stopped at California Station to ask directions, five other cars stopped at them in unison. Behind them, there were people poking their heads out of the car window, looking at them in puzzlement, not knowing why they stopped suddenly.
"..." Yili was very powerless for a moment—won't it be so obvious!
"Let's go." After asking the most convenient route from the staff at the gas station, Yili returned to the car, fastened her seat belt, and then said to Xie Cheng——The desert on the map is patchy, Yili Not sure which way to go in to see the desert sign.In theory, they should have to find the next clue box over the signboard to get a new clue card.
"Okay." Xie Cheng saw the vehicles that continued to follow them from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help being a little amused, "Don't be angry, it's nothing, at least it guarantees that we are the first to arrive, isn't it?"
"I'm not angry, but I'm a little... don't know what to say." Rather than being angry, it's better to be angry and funny, but this is also the other party's freedom, and she can't interfere with anything.Just like Xie Cheng said, at least they don't have to worry about others driving in front of them, which is another advantage...
In this helpless mood, the two finally saw their target - the red and yellow clue box of the program group!
"It's here." Yili and Xie Cheng got out of the car, took out a clue card from the clue box, and read it out according to the requirements of the program group, "Detour mission: contestants have to choose from two traditional customs handed down by the local aborigines to this day." One is complete, the spiritual world or the natural world. Which one should we choose?" Yi Li asked Xie Cheng.
"It's okay." Xie Cheng actually had a difficult choice...
"I don't know either, so let's be the first one." Yili made a decisive decision.
"Okay." Xie Cheng said bluntly - since the decision-making power has been handed over, there should be no more entanglements. In that case, it will only make the person who makes the decision feel uncomfortable, so Xie Cheng agrees with Yili 100% decision.
After making a decision, Yili continued to read the task content on the reverse side, "In the spiritual world, contestants must use traditional materials to create a mosaic pattern that is the same as the example. Once completed, contestants must dance on the pattern to encourage ancestors Wait, does this ontopof mean to let us stand on the pattern?" Yili couldn't help but wonder.
She is not an American, and English is not her mother tongue. Although it is no problem to read through and understand daily communication, but combined with the context, she occasionally encounters some doubts. Just like now, the meaning of the phrase is no problem. Putting it in a sentence, she Not sure, this can only be answered by Xie Cheng.
"Yes, that's what it means." Xie Cheng nodded without hesitation.
"Okay." Yili accepted the statement.
When the two had chosen their tasks and walked towards the direction indicated by the road signs, the teams behind them also came one after another.
After simply reading the mission description, the contestants all chose the first mission unanimously.
In the middle of the brick-red sand, both Yili and Xie Cheng saw their mission template this time.
It was a square pattern painted on the ground, with various colors of sand and stones in the middle to outline a natural and primitive pattern.And around this template, the same square sand is circled for the contestants to use. The pattern lines have been outlined in the box, and all they have to do is to fill it with sand of different colors.
If Yili can describe it, it is like the sand painting she played in the park when she was a child. She tore off the stickers and sprinkled sand in the area that had been outlined before, finally forming a beautiful sand painting.Of course, there's no stickers here to separate the areas for them, which means it's easy to bleed if you're not careful.
Xie Cheng looked at the pattern, and then looked at the piles of sand and gravel of various colors a little far away. They should be the raw materials they will use for the painting. It seems that they have to transport them here by themselves.
Xie Cheng thought for a while, and said to Yili, "I'll transport the sand, and you will fill in the sand."
This kind of division of labor is a more efficient approach, and it is enough for the two to focus on completing their own parts.It's just that Xie Cheng, who is running back and forth, is bound to have a hard time, while Yi Li, who draws according to the mosaic pattern on the spot, will be much more relaxed.
"Okay." Yili still agreed, this is the tacit understanding between the two, and it is also Xie Cheng's silent consideration for her.
Unfortunately, the program team did not provide any transportation tools, which means that Xie Cheng had to find a way to transport the sand back by himself.It is obviously unrealistic to hold it with hands, it is rare, and it is easy to leak light, so he immediately came up with a way to use the hem of the clothes to pocket it - but, using this method, the clothes were immediately dirty and unreadable.
However, now is not the time to pity clothes, nor is it time to love cleanliness. Xie Cheng knelt down in the sand without any hesitation, pulled out the hem of the clothes, pressed them on the ground, swept in large swaths of black sand, and then transported them to Iraq. next to Li.
"Is there enough black sand?" Xie Cheng asked while carefully pouring the sand on the place Yili chose.
"Not enough, there needs to be more black sand, you have to transport it twice." Yi Li looked at Xie Cheng's sand-filled nails and whispered—everyone who played with sand when he was a child knows that those who play with sand At that time, the most annoying thing was that the sand ran into the nails, which was really painful and sad, but now, Xie Cheng obviously couldn't take this into consideration.
"Well, then I'll carry it two more times." Xie Cheng shook the hem of his clothes, emptied the sand, and agreed without further ado.
Other teams also started to do the task one after another.
Some are like Eli Xiecheng, one person is responsible for transporting the sand, and the other is responsible for painting; but more often, two people transport the sand together, and then compare the mosaic pattern together, and fill the sand into the pattern grid respectively.It's hard to say which method is better, but obviously, the person who transports the sand will get messy and disheveled, while the person who does the painting will be much cleaner.
At the beginning, the players used the hem of their clothes to transport the sand with restraint.
However, soon, the contestants let themselves go, taking off their jackets, taking off their shirts, leaving a vest inside, and the rough ones were naked, and then put the clothes they took off on Lay it on the ground, sweep all the sand in, and take the clothes wrapped in a pile of sand back as a big package—the efficiency rises linearly.
Xie Cheng also took off his shirt, sweating profusely like everyone else, carrying sand back and forth, but he was still wearing a white racer-shaped vest, so he wouldn't be naked, but even so, you can see that he looks good waistline.As he walked and panted, the slightly sweaty vest almost revealed his beautiful waist muscles.Not only some female players, but even the indigenous girls beside them would glance at Xie Cheng intentionally or unintentionally.
"I'll move it together too." Yili didn't pay attention to that at all, she only noticed the thin sweat dripping from Xie Cheng's face and arms -- the moving work done by two people in other groups was on their side But Xie Cheng did it alone, exhaustion was inevitable, and she didn't want to sit and watch Xie Cheng work hard by himself.
"It's okay, you can just keep painting, I'm not tired." Xie Cheng understood Yili's thoughts, but he still shook his head, "Isn't our current progress just right? You can finish the sand I brought back. We Faster than the other teams!"
Speaking of this, Xie Cheng grinned, his eyes were shining brightly.
At some point, five other teams also arrived here. Since the departure, eleven teams gathered together for the first time.It can be seen that in the last relay station, the host did not eliminate any team, and every team stayed.Now, everyone's progress is the same, and whoever does it faster will be the leader in the task of making patterns!
"..." Seeing Xie Cheng's insistence, Yili didn't insist on moving the sand anymore. Instead of wasting time convincing each other, it's better to complete the task earlier and see if there is a chance for Xie Cheng to rest.Yili has secretly decided that the next task must be done by her...
Black sand, brown gravel, and white sand blocks slowly form an ancient picture.
Before Yili and Xie Cheng, some teams had already completed their designs, and they couldn't wait to run to the old native lady nearby to ask for a pass-through card.Unfortunately, the native old lady shook her head and refused.Obviously, they did something wrong, which is why the old lady refused to give them the pass-through card.
"What's wrong?" Sean muttered to their designs—it's rare that they finished it so quickly, but unexpectedly, they were called back by the old lady for acceptance, which really discouraged their enthusiasm for the task!
"Details, we must pay attention to details!" His teammate Dexter emphasized, "Compare the patterns carefully to see if we have overlooked anything! As long as we find out this problem, we will be the first to complete the task!"
"Okay." Sean continued to frown and think hard.
Seeing that someone has already completed the task (although it failed), the other contestants have also accelerated their movements, lest they fall behind!
"Okay!" When Xie Cheng brought the brown sand back for the last time, Yili spread it out with her hands, trying not to waste a single sand, and carefully filled up the last corner, before she said to Xie Cheng.
"Then?" Xie Cheng remembered what to do after drawing the pattern.
"And then dance on the pattern." Yili frowned, "What kind of dance?"
"Indigenous dance?" Xie Cheng wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, but left a gray trace, "I'll ask these natives, maybe they know something."
"Let me go." Yili stood up and walked to the boys and girls with painted patterns on their faces, "Do you know what dance we are going to dance? Can you help us?"
"..." The boys and girls looked at each other and shook their heads at Yili.
"Aren't you a part of this mission?" Yili asked cautiously.
"..." The boys and girls shook their heads again.
"Okay." Yili turned back to Xie Cheng, "They didn't answer me either, maybe, let us play freely?"
"Then, try?" Xie Cheng scratched his cheek.
"Okay." Yili had no objection, after all, there was no request for any dance on the clue card.
The two stood on the pattern carefully, fearing that they would step on the pattern, and then walked around the pattern twice, then raised their hands and waved their arms, as if they were dancing like an Indian——Ili felt
