The next morning.
In the open space in front of Building No. 1.
Gu Guoan and Mr. Lu took charge and officially started the selection of team members.
After what happened in the cafeteria yesterday, many survivors were encouraged and came forward to sign up.
From uncles and aunts in their fifties to children as young as ten years old.
All those who had their hands and feet intact came.
Gu Guoan persuaded some people to withdraw with great patience and perseverance at the first opportunity.
In the end, ten applicants remained, including Sophie and others.
The selection criteria for this time mainly revolve around the following three aspects: speed, strength and endurance.
The entire Tomorrow Base covers an area of eight hectares and is square in shape.
In addition to the buildings on the east and west sides, there is a large open space on the west side.
The contestants need to carry a five-kilogram weight and walk along a pre-drawn route on an open space.
There are five roadblocks along the 500-meter route.
The first five people to capture the opposing team's red flag will be successfully selected into the team.
"I heard there are people with special abilities within the base. If they really have special abilities, they can be used freely during the selection process."
Mr. Lu added a rule temporarily.
This instantly piqued the interest of the audience who had originally lost interest due to their failure to be selected.
Under the shade of the trees, at the starting point.
The contestants lined up and started warming up before the game.
"Miao Miao, do you want to join the team?"
Sophie curled her lips and looked at Lin Miao, who was standing beside her with a nervous expression.
"Xiao Xi, I want to. Although I know the hope is slim, I don't want to see what happened to Ajie happen to anyone else. So, I want to join the team and contribute my part."
"Okay, I'll help you."
Sophie was concise and to the point.
Before Lin Miao understood what this meant, Mr. Lu, the referee at the finish line, raised the flag in his hand and prepared to announce the start of the race.
"Hurry, Xiaoxi, it's about to begin!"
Lin Miao immediately concentrated his mind and gathered his energy.
As the starting flag fell, all the contestants ran forward with all their might.
There are only two exceptions.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Yang, are you guys... planning on giving up the competition?"
Gu Guoan looked at his unmoved children in front of him and asked with mixed feelings.
As a father, he naturally doesn't want his children to get into danger when going out.
However, as the temporary captain of the base who is highly expected, he also hopes that the children can contribute the efforts that he cannot.
"I can't give up the competition. Dad, just watch me. I'm going to take down the little red flag right now."
Sophie stretched on the spot and finally decided to temporarily disguise herself as a summoning psychic.
"Swift wind, appear."
She made up a mnemonic to save trouble.
Amidst everyone's astonished gaze, a gust of wind suddenly appeared.
Sophie jumped up on the spot and walked away on the wind, and in the process she also pulled up Lin Miao, who was far behind.
But in a blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Mr. Lu at the finish line, holding a small red flag in one hand and carrying the confused Lin Miao in the other.
"First place, Gu Xi and Lin Miao."
Mr. Lu announced the result of the competition with a smile in his eyes.
Just as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot out from the air and shot one of the small red flags onto the opposite wall.
"Third place, Zhou Yang."
Old Gu raised his hand and pulled out the sharp arrow, then read out the name engraved on the arrow feathers.
Even though the spectators around witnessed Zhou Yang's foul,
But his ability to summon a handful of arrows out of thin air is astonishing, so who would have any objections?
"I never thought that Captain Gu's two children were both superpowered."
"Wow! If my child had this ability, I would have spread the word with great fanfare. Captain Gu, on the other hand, is so low-key and does everything himself. It's truly admirable!"
Everyone praised Gu Guoan who stood tall in front of them.
Little did he know that he was just stunned.
