Chapter 139
Soon, everyone figured out what was going on. It turned out their group had diverged from the group that had stayed behind. The reason for this divergence was simple: after leaving the convoy and driving for a while, they had intended to rejoin Route A. However, the road leading to Route A was flooded, shimmering and shimmering. No one knew what lay beneath the surface, so the group decided to take Route B.
The production team had set several routes from the start. Before setting out, everyone researched them and found that routes A and B were the most reliable. Ultimately, everyone chose route A...
None of this matters. What matters is that the production team isn't planning to drive them to the rendezvous, but rather to drop them off right where they are. Whether to abandon the original crew and continue on Route B, or to reunite with the crew on Route A, is entirely up to them.
"We have nothing on us except our knives. How are we going to leave? Just send us back!" The little monk's face was full of anxiety. There were only Lin Zhinan and Su Huaichen on Route A. They had only been able to keep up with their pace since the global competition. How could they survive in the desert?
"I've already said that you can meet up with them on your own. As for equipment, the program team will provide some necessities," said Anthony.
"What are the necessities?" the Double Eagles asked. This time, they were hunting in pairs, so there were three people in the camp, so they weren't worried.
"You'll know when we get there. Okay, the rain has stopped, you guys take a break!" Anthony said, then turned his gaze to Route A.
At this time, the director team had already set up the big tent, and several teams of contestants had gone in to clean up.
There are even fewer people here than on Route B. There are two people from the Rolling Team, three people from the Double Eagle Team, two people from the Russian Team, only one person from the United States, one person from the Kangaroo Team, two people from the Mali Team, two people from the British Sun Team, and the rest are on Route B.
"Looks like we'll have to walk the rest of the way on our own." Su Huaichen sighed after hearing the director's announcement of the A and B groups, opening his backpack to count the items inside. Now that Chu Huaiqin and the others were gone, each team had fled in a hurry, taking only a small amount with them. They couldn't afford to let anyone else get to know them and arouse their suspicions.
"Brother will meet up with us." Lin Zhinan said seriously, sitting down without taking off his raincoat, and took out a map to look at it. After a while, Lin Zhinan pulled Su Huaichen, "Brother Huaichen, look?"
"What?" Su Huaichen came over and frowned when he saw where Lin Zhinan was pointing. "I didn't notice it before." "Yes, we split into five routes from the start, but each route has a meeting point. The first meeting point was when we entered the Gobi Desert from the desert. Then the route split again. Our next meeting point is here."
Lin Zhinan pointed to a place marked with a red dot. After passing this red dot, the route forked again.
"That's a good idea. If we go to find Huaiqin and the others now, we might miss them halfway. Then let's meet him at the next meeting point!" Su Huaichen said. However, looking at the long route, Su Huaichen felt a dull pain in his lower leg. Thinking of the scorching sun after the rain, he suddenly had the urge to give up the competition.
"All the supplies are with us now. I wonder how things are going over there." Lin Zhinan put the map away and began to count the things: half a pack of soap, two fans, a small knife, alcohol candles, salt, a medicine bag, etc...
All these things were taken because the director's team said the rain would stop today. Lin Zhinan had packed Xia En's backpack, which he always carried for the team. When Lin Zhinan rushed out, his first instinct was to grab Xia En's backpack. Chu Huaiqin and his team took the telescope and two broadswords. They didn't take the tent, fire, or fire sticks. They only had one pot and three water bladders, which Su Huai had picked up when he ran out.
The other teams were also counting their belongings, and everyone was being secretive, not wanting the other teams to know about them.
More than ten minutes later, the director team gave everyone a set of dry clothes. Not long after everyone changed into them, the drizzle stopped and the sun came out. The program team began to count the things each team brought out. After the records were reported, the program team finally announced the additional equipment.
Each person has a kettle, each team has a lighter, each person has a tent, and there is a pot, that's all.
However, there was a prerequisite for receiving these supplies. The original supplies would not be provided, so Lin Zhinan and his friends only received lighters and tents. In addition, they also received additional supplies such as clothes and hiking poles.
"Fortunately you took the supply package." Su Huaichen whispered in Lin Zhinan's ear.
"Well, brother, do you think we should form an alliance with others?" Lin Zhinan was a little worried. Luckily, she had her bow/crossbow with her this time. She had always carried it with her unless Chu Huaiqin asked her for it. This time, Chu Huaiqin and the others were not here with her, so she finally had a weapon. "I'm a little worried that they will steal my things."
"We must be on guard," Su Huaichen agreed. The Kangaroos and the Sam Nation are the two teams that are most worrying. "But, is there anyone willing to form an alliance with us?"
Lin Zhinan wilted as soon as Su Huaichen said this. The World Championship had been going on for so long, and they had come such a long way alongside the other teams. It was impossible for them to say they didn't know that they and Huaichen were weaker.
what to do?
"Arnold of the British Empire has received a yellow card. Currently, Arnold has accumulated two yellow cards. Please note that if he accumulates three yellow cards, he will be withdrawn from the competition."
Suddenly, a staff member's voice appeared and no one heard it. The people on Route A looked at each other in confusion. What happened on Route B?
Xia Entanglement and the live broadcast room were not satisfied with the decision to give a yellow card, but no one could prove that Arnold of the British Sun Team deliberately hit Chu Huaiqin's ankle with the knife when he fell down. Even the yellow card was given this time because Chu Huaiqin's ankle injury was too serious and angered the audience outside the stadium, so the program team made this decision.
"I don't accept it. Not only did Chu hurt his ankle, but he also had bruises on his body from sharp rocks. He looks horrible. I should be thankful there wasn't a big rock behind him when he fell, otherwise he would have hit his head and the consequences would have been terrible."
"Yes, I protest. Everyone saw how badly Chu's ankle was injured. He just fell down and didn't do anything intentionally. How could he be injured so badly?"
"That's right. When he fell, the knife in his hand should have fallen out instinctively. Even if it didn't fall out, it should have been knocked out when my brother bumped into him. Unless he had planned it in advance and was holding on to the knife tightly, my brother would have been hit so hard."
"Yes, if he had let go of the knife when Chu bumped into him, how could Chu's foot be injured like this?"
"Despicable person."
"No, that's not the case. How could Arnold hurt Chu intentionally? When a person falls down, they instinctively want to grab something. Chu's fans should stop framing him."
"Get lost! Do you think everyone is blind? It's so obvious and you're still washing it. It's ridiculous. Chu is too miserable. He only got a yellow card."
"Don't suggest donating your eyes, dear brother. It's obvious that you are the ones who are insidious."
"Arnold is out, Arnold is out."
There were voices in the live broadcast room calling for Arnold to withdraw from the competition. The other assistant directors of the director team looked at Anthony, but saw that he was so calm as if nothing had happened.
Finally someone spoke up, "Anthony, this is unfair to Chu!"
Chu Huaiqin was seriously injured, especially his ankle. They had no means of transportation, and even if his bones were not injured, Chu Huaiqin would have to rest for a few days before he could set off. This would definitely put him behind the others.
"How is it unfair? Can you prove that Arnold did it on purpose?" Austin said unhappily. The directors all took turns coming back for rest, and these few days happened to be his break time. He didn't expect to see such a scene. "I think giving Arnold a yellow card was excessive."
"Austin, that's not what you said," Coach Li happened to be there. He was a little angry at Austin's statement, but he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know that if it were an ordinary person, such a serious injury, they would probably withdraw from the competition?"
Austin sneered, "Why didn't Chu withdraw from the competition?"
Director Li: "You..."
"Okay," Anthony interrupted the two people's argument, "stop arguing, I believe Chu will be more satisfied with this result."
Anthony has been following Chu Huaiqin since the domestic competition, but he doesn't think he is a good person.
Director Li quickly understood what Anthony meant, snorted, and stopped arguing with Austin.
Chu Huaiqin didn't know that the live broadcast room and the director team were arguing about his own affairs. He was trying to coax Xia Entang. He was also very dissatisfied with the director team's decision. He was so angry that he wanted to argue with the director team, but Chu Huaiqin pulled him aside and talked in his ear. After a while of coaxing, Xia Entang calmed down his anger, but he looked at Arnold as if he were a dead person.
With the weather clearing, everyone could set off. Lin Zhinan and his team hadn't been able to form an alliance with the other teams on Route A, so Su Huaichen took over the equipment backpack and set off with Lin Zhinan. After examining the injuries of the fennec fox, the director's doctor released it, despite its persistent whimpering. The little creature, released by the production team, refused to leave. Instead, it darted around, sniffing every competitor before leaving, glancing back every step of the way.
Chu Huaiqin received new supplies and put all of them on the little monk. Xia Entang squatted down and wanted to carry Chu Huaiqin on his back.
"It's already eleven o'clock. If you don't come up now, you will miss the next food order." Xia En stood in horse stance in front of Chu Huaiqin, motionless.
"This Gobi Desert is difficult to walk on. How long do you think you can carry me?" Chu Huaiqin asked.
"So you mean you want to stay?" Xia En asked.
Chu Huaiqin shook his head.
"You want to hop on one leg?" Xia En asked.
Chu Huaiqin shook his head again.
"What should we do then?" Xia En frowned and tried hard to think of a solution, but found that there was no way.
"I was thinking, can I use the wood washed by water to make a board and then drag me away?" Chu Huaiqin said thoughtfully.
"I'll delay?" Xia En thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
It’s not as easy as carrying it on his back, but Qingqing likes it, so he gritted his teeth and dragged it on.
"No, do you think that if we don't set off now, the Gobi bear will come to bring me food?" Chu Huaiqin said with a smile.
Xia Entropy: ...
Live broadcast room:
"Haha, couplet: When there's trouble, it's like a Gobi bear; when there's nothing to do, it's like a whimpering monster."
"Banner: Scumbag."
