Chapter 34: Extracting Destinations

"Okay guys, that's the end of our training for today. After talking about the use www.biquge.info of the last satellite phone, the supervisor Mike finally said the sentence that Tang Wen was most looking forward to.

"But there's one last thing to do before we go home and rest! Which two will come first?" Mike said, pulling out a few poker-like cards from his pocket and briefly shuffling them in his hand. Smile at everyone.

A group of people were a little confused about the situation, Tang Wen and Helen because of the angle of the standing position. I vaguely saw the playing cards he took out, and the bottom one was painted with a view that looked like snow-capped mountains.

The two looked at each other, sensing something in each other's eyes. Tang Wen took the lead and drew one.

Someone from the other groups also stepped forward to draw one.

"As you might guess, the card you're holding is where you're going on this adventure. With that, he waved in front of him, and a staff member wearing a cap and carrying a camera stepped forward to take a close-up of the six groups. and motioned for them to turn the card over.

Tang Wen turned it over and saw a mountain and a forest painted on the white card. There is also a line at the bottom that reads: South Island, New Zealand, Southern Alps.

These two words surprised him, and asked Helen in a low voice: "Is this leaving the United States?" Helen nodded in confirmation, as if knowing what he was thinking, and explained: "The program team will handle the entry, this is a commercial activity after all." You don't have to worry. But the weather can be a bit bad for us, and it's winter in New Zealand!"

Tang Wen asked a little surprised: "Is the South Island of New Zealand large?"

"It's huge! The whole of New Zealand is almost made up of the South Island and the North Island. Millions of people live on it. Mike came up to them and explained to Tang Wen. He picked up the card in Tang Wen's hand and shook it at the camera and said, "This sweet transnational love pair will go to the mountains of southern New Zealand to complete their special winter honeymoon trip! Let's wish them good luck!" After speaking, he returned the card to Tang Wen.

Tang Wen said in his heart, even his girlfriend is fake, how can he be on a honeymoon? But I don't know if it's because of men's adventurous nature, although he knows that he is going to a deserted mountain forest, but he is still a little excited. I feel like I'm looking forward to it!

"You look a little impatient!" said Helen, "but we should go back and check the information and get the general idea before we go." ”

At this time, Mike began to explain the group next to the two, who didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, and drew to Montana, the local state of the United States. It is said that there are bears and mountain masters in the wild there. Tang Wen thought with some malice that their honeymoon might not be stable. Think about it, if the two of them were doing something shameful at night, suddenly a black bear came to watch. Hehe, will this guy be scared how to let it?

The rest of the six groups went to the Nevada desert next door, where it was better to be safe, but the water and summer temperatures were a big problem. There is also a group that goes to a desert island in an unknown country, where coconuts are said to be eaten. This made Tang Wen a little jealous. After introducing the locations where the six groups were going, more than a dozen people suddenly chattered together in pairs.

After a while, everyone was almost discussed. Mike slapped his face and said to the camera, "We said there would be a reward, so what is the reward?" He paused, picked up a sign from his side, who didn't know if it was made of special plastic plate or PVC, and held it above his head. Shouted: "This is it!"

Tang Wen heard Helen say that the best group had money, and he thought that Mike should be able to hold up a string of numbers with dollar signs!

"What's the matter? aren't you excited to see this number?" he was surprised, and looked up at the sign funny. It turned out that I had made a big oolong. He was holding a whiteboard with nothing written on it.

"O, God, don't show this to the sponsoring company, or they'll think I've gotten the prize money and kill me!" Mike waved at the photographer in embarrassment.

Several groups of people who participated in the event gave him a good-natured laugh, and after he put the sign down, everyone had already seen it. Actually, he just took it down.

After lifting it again. The sign was printed with the words 30,000 dollars. Tang Wen had to complain that unlike China, the United States does not have the term 10,000 at all. Their ten thousand are ten thousand. This time, the prize money is $30,000. Considering the purchasing power of the dollar, everyone thinks it's quite a lot. There was a burst of cheers and applause.

Six groups shook hands with each other, with men and women shaking hands and hugging each other. However, there is no such thing as a man and a woman hugging each other.

Departure times vary depending on the destination. Depart tomorrow morning in Montana, home country. And Tang Wen and the two of them are transnational, so they have to leave tonight. It was said that the group was asked to turn on the camera and start recording at about the same time...

It was about the same time, half past three in the afternoon. Mike told the two of them that they could go back and meet up at eight o'clock in the evening.

The two discussed it for a while and decided to go back and check New Zealand and then catch up on sleep. Because they shouldn't have much time to rest tonight if they're on the road.

The two of them returned to the apartment and told Tang Tang the basic situation.

After listening to this, Tang Tang ate nuts and said, "Okay, you go to sleep first." I'll wake you up at six o'clock. As for the information on the South Island, I'll check it for you, and I'll tell you at dinner..."

"It's winter in the South Island of New Zealand, and it's the opposite of here. So when you get to the location, you should do a little bit before you think about anything else. The temperature over there is about 10 degrees. The temperature difference between day and night is not large, but it is a wet and cold weather. There are no beasts on the island that threaten humans, and there are seals, birds, and so on along the coast......"

The two of them were eating Tang Tang's soup cooked with instant noodles and beef, while listening to her reading the information she had checked from the Internet at the table.

“... The South Island of New Zealand is now a ski resort, and it is said that there are a lot of tourists, and you may meet anyone in the wild..."

After eating, at 7:50, the three of them came to the activity center together. Tang Tang is here to see them off.

Here Tang Wen saw the woman at noon again, who seemed to be carrying a pair of small volleyballs on her chest, and they were also going to set off at night, as if they were going to a far place.

Tang Tang stayed with them for a while and left. When he left, he didn't forget to ask Tang Wen to take care of Helen.

The pair of volleyball women they went first, it didn't seem to be the same airport. Tang Wen and the two went to the airport with a man named Hagrid. Hagrid was the head of their group, didn't talk much, and introduced himself as a veteran.

Looking at the ticket, Tang Wen realized that it was too far from New York to New Zealand, so they had to stay in Los Angeles for more than ten hours. So they will probably be able to get to where they really want to go in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Then the ten-day life in the wild officially began.

Sitting on the plane, Tang Wen thought to himself: I have traveled all the way to New York, and I am going to stay for three weeks in total, but I didn't expect to stay in the field for ten days!

Helen didn't seem to be very comfortable with this kind of long-distance flight in economy class, and she kept sleeping on Tang Wen when she was on the plane. When they arrived in Los Angeles, Hagrid wanted to go around, but when they saw that it was late at night outside, the two shook their heads and refused.

When he arrived in New Zealand, Hagrid met with his helicopter pilot in a hotel restaurant. Hagrid went to pick up his luggage first and opened a room for himself. Pointing to the package, he said to the two people, "Here's a bag of photographic equipment, you need to take your own photos." There's also a bag of clothes you're wearing, new. I'll go down to the restaurant and wait for someone, and you guys will come to me after you change your clothes..."
