Jia Lai thrust the red-hot wooden stick in his hand into the coyote's mouth, and the coyote let out a series of screams. Jia Lai frowned and threw the seriously injured coyote aside.
After eliminating the danger on his side, Jia Lai turned to look at Zhang Heng and found that the opponent had ended the battle with one against two. What Jia Lai regretted was that Zhang Heng's movements were too fast and when he turned around , only to see two coyotes with burnt marks on their fur running into the darkness again with their tails between their legs.
He failed to see clearly how the opponent won the battle, which also frustrated Jia Lai's wish to know more about Zhang Heng.
At this time, everyone also heard the sound of helicopter propellers turning. They had to admit that after that series of accidents, NASA's response to emergencies was much faster, and it also improved its response to astronauts. level of protection.
Within five minutes, the captain jumped out of the helicopter and said, "Are you all okay?"
Zhang Heng and others nodded. Even Bruno, who was in the most danger just now, was actually not injured at all. At most, he was just a little frightened. The most serious thing was that he was sprayed with saliva by a coyote. The smell was a little bit... Oops.
The captain said, "I didn't expect to encounter wolves here. There have been no wild wolves around here for a long time, but this does remind us. I will follow up with the above to see if I can add some wolf repellent to the emergency backpack. Yes, but it’s best not to have too high hopes. By the time they get the approval, you may have already visited the moon twice, so... I ask you again, do you still want to continue this training?”
Jia Lai and Bruno nodded without hesitation. Even though they had just experienced a shocking scene, the three of them had not yet decided the winner. They did not want the training to end here, so the captain turned to look at Zhang Heng, who said, “I respect the opinions of my team members.”
This answer was somewhat beyond Jialai and Bruno's expectations.
It stands to reason that Zhang Heng should choose to interrupt training at this time, so that based on his previous results, he can directly get the final spot. However, there is only one possibility for him to make such a decision now, and that is that he also decided to take advantage of this time. opportunity to eliminate all threats in one fell swoop and prevent other situations from occurring during the quarantine period.
"Okay, let's meet at the finish line, and pay attention to safety." Since the three people agreed, the captain didn't say anything more, got into the helicopter, and left the camping site.
After the incident of jointly repelling the coyote attack, the atmosphere between the three seemed to be better. However, the three of them knew very well that this was just an appearance.
When the number of places to clear the customs was reduced to one, there was no room for compromise between them.
I don’t know whether it was because of the unexpected interruption, but Jialai seemed to give up the action. Nothing happened until the sun rose from the east and the temperature began to warm up.
The three of them spent the night peacefully by the fire.
In the early morning, they used the bonfire that had not been extinguished to eat another hot breakfast. Unsurprisingly, this was also the last meal they had in the desert.
Because there is less than thirty kilometers left to the target location, if everything goes well, we can arrive there in seven hours.
Jialai still has not come to Bruno to discuss the next action plan. At this point, Bruno has completely given up. He knows that this means that Jialai has never cared about the alliance with him and does not think he is of much use. .
But Bruno is curious why Jia Lai is still not in a hurry until now. He even has the leisure to organize his emergency backpack again before setting off. You must know that the finish line is not far away and there is not much time left for them. Running out.
If we can't take action within the last seven hours, we may never have the chance to take action again.
Bruno is now the most anxious among the three, but his anxiety is of no use. Without the game props, Jialai has abandoned him. He doesn't know how to survive under NASA's surveillance next. He had to deal with two competitors who were obviously stronger than him, and could only wait passively.
Just like the previous day, the three of them continued on the road in silence after breakfast.
However, this time they chose a time in the early morning, not long after the sun had risen. At this time, the temperature in the desert was not too high, and the physical exertion was not as intense as before. At the same time, the three of them unexpectedly received a message from the system. prompt, telling them that they completed a "Desert Camping" achievement and each received 2 points.
The importance of points has long been self-evident as the game progresses, and the acquisition of points has always been the focus of the Grand Guild's research. The research results are varied, but no matter which plan is used, it can only increase points to a certain extent. Efficiency of acquisition: Because of the uniqueness and non-repetition of copies, theoretically the points acquisition plan you summarize in one copy cannot be directly used in other copies.
For example, the thirty food achievements that Zhang Heng once obtained in the Tokyo Drift dungeon will no longer take effect in the subsequent dungeon. No matter how many American signature foods from the 1960s he eats, he will not be able to get any more points. However, in the previous dungeon, In the transition copy, he did get a "Fast Food & Music" achievement by pairing vinyl records with burgers and chicken tacos.
This combination fascinated him.
However, there are indeed certain rules hidden under these randomness. For example, Zhang Heng has discovered that the probability of getting points after encountering danger and successfully overcoming it will be very high. However, this rule is actually of little use, because players also It is impossible to go crazy and die for points.
After all, there is no point in asking for points if there are no people left.
Bruno felt like this now. The joy of gaining points was completely diluted by the anxiety about the future. He wiped the sweat from his face. Three hours had passed since the three of them finished breakfast, and the temperature in the desert kept rising. Increased, the uncomfortable hot feeling before has returned.
But what makes Bruno even more anxious is that Jia Lai still shows no sign of taking action. Bruno doesn't understand what Jia Lai is waiting for, and what is the reason that makes him even willing to give up the rare opportunity last night.
What better way to do it than at night when the first mate is lowered?
Just when Bruno was puzzled, he felt that the oncoming hot wind seemed to be getting bigger, so he raised his head and looked at the distant skyline.
The next moment he finally got the answer he had longed for.
The captain's voice came from the intercom, "Attention, team, there is a sandstorm ahead. Training is cancelled. Stay where you are and don't move around. Our car will pick you up soon."
