The qualifiers have finally begun, taking place in an abandoned naval warehouse. The area is large and most of the area is open land. The warehouse area is not small, there are large hangars for transport aircraft, medium warehouses for storing supplies, and barracks dormitories.

The building area is clustered together, with three large hangars on the north side and fifteen medium-sized vaulted warehouses on the east and west sides. To the south is a two-story living and dormitory building, and on the first floor is a dining hall and other ancillary facilities.

The Navy warehouses were all demolished. In order to cope with the qualifying round, the organizing committee has added some items. For example, the second floor of the dormitory became the headquarters and dormitory of the 20 participating teams.

The Navy Depot was once used as the site of experiments on the famous TV show: Mythbusters.

(Some readers have different opinions about the bullet entering the water, and Ben Shrimp knows the relationship between bullets and water through this program.) To correct the mistake of his own explanation, the bullet does not break when it touches the water, but after entering the water, and the number of fragments varies, including special armor-piercing shells. In terms of lethal effect, large-caliber sniper rifles are inferior to rifles, and rifles are inferior to pistols. ）

There is only one entrance to the abandoned warehouse, where there is an abandoned checkpoint.

Admission is in the morning, and the checkpoint closes after 12 o'clock.

A total of 20 teams will participate in this year's qualifying tournament, and last year's champion Bayonet will skip the qualifying round and go straight to the hunting competition.

Yuan Wang's four arrived at the abandoned warehouse at nine o'clock in the morning and underwent identity verification at the checkpoint, and Liu Wen, as the captain, got the four-person identification plate, the key to the dormitory and the key to the sightseeing battery car.

Crews searched the four and confiscated all electronic devices, including cell phones, computers, radios, and even headsets. Duct tape, books and other ordinary supplies are not forbidden.

Driving the battery car to the dormitory, Liu Wen said: "This time of year in autumn is the time when major criminals are most afraid. No one wants to be the target of a hunt. ”

Benjamin said, "No matter how fierce a lion is, he is afraid of a pack of hyenas." ”

Yuan Forget: "I heard that the hillbilly hunter regiment in Texas is all militia, and its combat effectiveness is super strong. ”

Benjamin: "Combat effectiveness does not mean comprehensive ability. I think that whether it is the FBI or criminals, they will not rely on their combat power to become the best in their own industry, but on their brains. ”

Yuan Forget: "Not necessarily. ”

Benjamin: "OK, you're talking about a guy who is known purely for his fighting prowess. ”

Yuan Forget: "Knife." ”

Benjamin thought for a few seconds and said, "The temperature is very high today, and it seems that the first assessment is a tough battle." ”

Yuan forgot to ignore him.

......

The dormitory is very small, about 40 square meters. Two bunk iron frame beds, a table, a chair, a shower toilet, a water dispenser, a Xiaoice cabinet, a coffee machine, an air conditioner. Fruit in the freezer, drinks, water. The cups are disposable paper cups. On the table are four phones that were outdated ten years ago. Function: Make and receive calls, send and receive text messages. There is also a tablet.

The phone is a prepaid phone with a number called the referee stored in it.

Yuan Forget found that he was a little different from himself recently, and his former self would first search the entire dormitory to see how many resources were available. Now Yuan Forget stands at the door and evaluates the price of this dormitory first.

It is an empty room, which needs to be cleaned and cleaned to buy appliances and appliances to replenish daily necessities. Although it is a double-layered iron frame bed, you can see that the workmanship is very exquisite, and the Simmons upholstery placed on it perfectly matches the size of the bed. There are two types of pillows, one is the soft feather pillow. One is to consider the fabric and sponge used by people with allergies as pillows.

Labor, appliances and furniture, Yuan Wang's estimate is about 8,000 US dollars. $160,000 for 21 rooms. Coupled with the props used in the competition and the hiring of personnel, the cost of this assessment competition is about 500,000 US dollars. The North American Bounty Hunters League is a non-profit, semi-official organization. Semi-government refers to those that are officially authorized to be established and do not allow the formation of similar organizations. At the same time, the government only supervises and does not interfere in operations.

The cost of 500,000 plus the prize money of the champion is 1.5 million, the cost of 2 million.

Obviously, two million dollars is not something that the Hunters League can come up with. Where does the money come from? The sponsors are different from one competition to another. Last year's prey was a notorious international trafficker, and his bounty was only $400,000. A big businessman gave $3 million to sponsor last year's competition. The businessman's niece was caught on board a ship five years ago, and international traffickers threw all four teenage girls into the sea when the ship was spot-checked by the Coast Guard.

It was late at night, and the guards did not notice it, and after inspection, they let them go. The case was linked several days later when the fishermen found the body. The international trafficker has been hiding in Mexico since the incident.

The Bounty Hunters from Canada: Bayonet, managed to capture it, and Bayonet thus became last year's champion.

In terms of the law of eighty-two, there are many rich people. Rich people sometimes have some bad things. Some hunters have taken stock of the goals of the competition for ten years, and believe that the Hunter League has abandoned its original intention, avoided the real criminals, and turned to provide services to the rich.

On the family board game day, Ye Wanniang conveyed this message. She told Yuan that you can treat money like dung, you can ignore money, but you must face up to the role of money.

The first qualifying tournament takes place at 2 p.m. in the heart of the area, an area surrounded by warehouses and dormitories.

The maximum score in each game is 10 points, and teams that do not score 15 points in three games will be eliminated.

After a hurried meal in the cafeteria on the first floor, the teams hurried back to the dormitory to rest, and the first points match of the qualifying round was about to begin.

At 1:55 a.m., buses entered the venue like flowing water, and people got off the buses one by one, each holding a sun umbrella in their hands.

Broadcast: "The first qualifying tournament is about to begin, the rules of the competition: more than 800 people each have a number plate on their body, among them there are 20 wanted criminals, and the information of the 20 wanted criminals will be sent to the tablet. Fill in the corresponding wanted ticket in the corresponding wanted information, and you can score points if it is correct. Two points for each wanted offender, and once registered, no other team can register. The full score of this qualifying tournament is 10 points, and 1 point will be deducted for registration errors. ”

Broadcast: "Rules: No intentional touching of extras, no talking to extras, and no provocative actions. The game begins. ”

As the conversation began, a photo of the arrest of 20 wanted criminals appeared on the tablet. It is a photo taken of being arrested and imprisoned while holding up a name sign and standing behind a height scale. There is also a lot of text on the right side of the photo, such as what crime was committed, where they lived, how many family members there were, and so on. There are also several photos of your life.

Liu Wen: "Zhao Wu is responsible for taking the computer, I remember the front 7, Yuan Forget is responsible for the middle 7, and Benjamin is responsible for the back 6." ”

Benjamin: "Why am I six?"

Liu Wen: "I'm the captain. This is a wording that Ye Wanniang explained to deal with doubts.

Benjamin spreads his hands, and can only be OK.

Zhao Wu slid the screen, and the screen could only display six people at a time, Yuan Forget: "Wait." "Shorthand in the heart, 168, pointed face, protruding forehead, tiger teeth......

Zhao Wu looked outside: "There is already a team going out, hurry, hurry, hurry." ”

"Don't rush. ”

Benjamin: "Yuan forgets you, hurry up." ”

"Got it, I'm remembering. Yuan forgot to cover his ears, read the information quickly, and memorized the photos.

Five minutes later, the four of them ran downstairs, and most of the team was already out of the house.
