There are five stages in the semi-finals.
Ji Chengling entered the last stage on the morning of the sixth day.
The weather was good and the driving was smooth.
Along the way, TS team members often said in the channel that they saw cars from other teams.
It's all behind him.
Even Pei Donghan was left behind by him in the fifth stage yesterday.
Looking at the endless blue sky and white clouds in front of him, Ji Chengling was in a very good mood.
"Brother Ling, there are continuous turns ahead..."
When the navigator reminded him of the road conditions ahead, Ji Chengling nodded, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
In the evening, we drove into Jiangcheng.
Jiangcheng is the end point of this cross-country rally.
Almost as soon as he entered Jiangcheng Avenue, Ji Chengling saw the cheerleaders cheering on both sides and the advertising arch with the competition logo within sight.
Ji Chengling couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He had calculated that although the Wonderful team started late, they were only late by more than ten minutes.
And within dozens of kilometers behind him, there were no cars from the Wonderful team.
Not a single one.
Does this mean that the Wonderful team has been completely destroyed? Thinking that W and Pei Donghan were left far behind, Ji Chengling's hands holding the steering wheel could not help but tremble with excitement.
The gaze looking into the distance is even more fiery.
Once through the arch, the week-long race was over for him.
Over the next day and a half, other drivers will arrive to compete for the 12 drivers who will advance to the semi-finals.
79 people participated in the preliminary round, one third of them were eliminated, and only 50 people entered the semi-finals.
Only 12 people entered the semi-finals in the rematch.
This shows how fierce the competition was.
"Where are you?"
Ji Chengling called out in the channel.
A shrill sound was heard on the communicator. After a while, a few intermittent sounds were heard, which were unclear.
Ji Chengling couldn't help but frown.
This communication machine is imported.
But from the noise just now, could it be possible that the people in the convoy were still 500 kilometers away from him? How was that possible?
When starting from the starting point in Lincheng, although one car set out every 5 minutes, the members of the TS team were almost together.
Even if there are differences between the drivers, the other 10 are all qualified and experienced drivers. There is no way they can be 500 kilometers behind him.
"Brother Ling, could it be that another team has used a better communication device, and our signal has been jammed?"
"impossible!"
Ji Chengling glared at the navigator fiercely.
This communication device is very expensive, and except for TS, other teams do not have the financial resources.
Being disturbed? No way!
Before Ji Chengling could figure out what was going on, the end was in sight.
Even through the closed car windows, you can still hear the cheers and encouragement of the crowd outside.
Taking a deep breath, Ji Chengling stepped on the accelerator.
But the moment he raised his eyes, he was stunned.
The ground at the finish gate was covered with a layer of fireworks.
That is... the treatment only given to champions.
In the past few years, every time after participating in a competition, when he was the first to cross the finish line, there would be the sound of fireworks exploding behind him.
When he pushes open the car door and gets out, colorful fireworks will fall from the sky and land on his helmet and body.
Then as he took off his helmet, it scattered on his head.
That light feeling was the most beautiful feeling in his memory.
But at this moment, the beauty was destroyed.
Someone has already reached the finish line before him? ! ! !
The car slid into the parking space with a creaking sound. Ji Chengling took off his helmet in a rage and rushed to the finish line.
The staff greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Ji, congratulations..."
On the signature sheet handed over, his name was ranked fourth.
Fourth? His eyes almost popped out of his head. Ji Chengling slowly raised his head and looked at the staff member in disbelief. "Who are the top three?"
