Chapter 67: The Real Points Race (2nd Update)

Determining the direction of travel towards the finish line is an urgent issue for all candidates. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Huo You suggested climbing high and looking far away, precisely to determine the location of the four finish areas.

She can now determine that the location of the Isle of Mull is very simple, with the center point of the Isle of Mull as the origin of the coordinates, the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest form horizontal and vertical coordinate axes, and the four corners are basically in the four directions of due northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast.

Unfortunately, the green hill where they are now located runs from north to south, just on the edge of the two finish areas due northeast and due southeast.

If conditions allow, they can go straight to either of the two finish zones tomorrow.

However, the terrain limited them - on the other side of the green hills, a cliff formed by the perennial erosion of the sea breeze.

If they were to reach the two finish areas due northeast and southeast, they would undoubtedly have to climb over this cliff.

This is quite dangerous.

The scene Huo You saw now also corroborated her inference.

Near the two finish areas due northwest and southwest, the number of candidates is already dense, and candidates heading west are in the right place.

At the moment, it seems that their best option is to go down the hill and return the same way back to the finish zone due northwest and southwest.

However, it can be tight on time.

It was midnight when they arrived at the top of the mountain from the central zone today. If you want to reach the destination due northwest and southwest, you have to descend the mountain and cross almost the entire Isle of Mull.

Not to mention the fact that the ascent is easy and the descent is difficult, it is expected that the route from the base of the mountain to the two finish areas may not be possible if the route is carried in a straight line for the shortest distance.

There were streams and swamps and forests in their path.

If they want to pass, they have to take a zigzag way, they have to take a detour.

This will undoubtedly cost them more time.

Even tonight they don't get any rest.

What's even worse is that Huo You is going to tell Hang Chuan, "This road is not working, we have to go back the same way"?

Huo You was in a daze at the top of the mountain for a long time, Hang Chuan set up a tent and looked for her, and found Huo You's location by the faint light reflected by the satellite, he walked over and said, "It's time to rest." ”

Huo You opened his mouth, and he had an idea, and said, "I'm a little worried......"

"Worried about what?"

Huo You stretched out his arms: "Do you feel it, do you smell it? Do you hear it?"

Hang Chuan was silent for a moment and said, "The smell of the sea, the sound of the waves crashing against the reef, and the sea breeze. ”

"Hmm. Huo You said: "When we climbed the mountain, we only felt the breeze in the mountains and forests, but when we reached the top of the mountain, we felt the sea breeze, smelled the sea smell very clearly, and even heard the sound of the waves." What does that mean?"

"On the other side of the mountain, there is the sea. ”

"And it was close to us. Huo You took over and looked at Hang Chuan: "I'm thinking, we came from the central area, and we've been walking for a long time, and we can almost touch the edge of Mull Island." At this time, this mountain is here, and the mountain is still very close to the sea...... I'm a little worried that the other side of the mountain isn't what it looks like when we came here. ”

Huo You told Hang Chuan all the assumptions: "It's dark now, and we can't see the specific situation. But if there really isn't a way down on the other side of the mountain, that's bad. ”

Hang Chuan didn't refute Huo You, but just thought about it and said: "We climbed the mountain to find the direction, even if the other side of the mountain can't go down, we can choose another way." ”

"I'm afraid I'm afraid that time won't be enough. Huo You said: "It's already midnight, and when we get up tomorrow after we rest, there is not much time left for us." ”

"You can't live without a break. Hang Chuan behaved calmly: "Running is commonplace for me. You don't need to worry about running out of time. Have you forgotten about the second day of your entrance exam?"

On the second day of the entrance exam, Hang Chuan carried Huo You on his back and arrived at the Perpetual Observatory before the deadline.

His speed, Huo You is very clear.

As for his stamina......

Huo You couldn't help but think of what the who fought against them on the second day of the entrance exam had discussed with her about her partner's "staying power".

The cheek temperature is somewhat high......

Huo You patted his face and said, "Let's discuss, whether it is for the uncertain but very likely difficulties that cannot be overcome, go down the mountain now, or ......"

"Rest first tonight. Hang Chuan interrupted her and said, "You've been nervous for a day today, and it's too dangerous to go down the mountain at night." Either way, let's talk about it after a good rest. Tomorrow's business, leave it to me. ”

"But ......"

"Listen to me this time. Hang Chuan said: "If we are planted in this exam, I am fully responsible." ”

"What can you be responsible for...... Huo You said helplessly: "I don't have to come by myself to take the college entrance examination." ”

Hang Chuan said: "Then I will always accompany you to the test, and I can always give you some help." ”

In the dark, Huo You saw Hang Chuan stretch out his hand and patted her on the shoulder: "Rest, I heard that if girls don't pay attention to the quality of sleep, their skin will deteriorate." ”

"There are a lot of nourishments......

Huo You muttered, in the end, because he had a secret in his heart, he didn't dare to show too much opposition, so he could only remind himself that he had to get up when the sky was slightly bright, so that Hang Chuan could see their current situation clearly.

As for tomorrow's action...... I can only look at Hangchuan's.

Huo You got into the tent and fell asleep as soon as he dipped the inflatable mattress.

Hang Chuan followed her and slipped into the tent and closed the tent exit.

Then the tent is invisible, and the people inside the tent can still see the surroundings clearly.

Hang Chuan glanced at Huo You, who was asleep on his side, and also lay down, there was still a little distance between the two.

Because of the isolation in the dormitory for the first three days as a buffer, the two did not react much to sleeping in the same tent.

Hang Chuan closed his eyes slightly, listened to the slight breathing sound of the girl beside him, and gradually fell asleep.

When the sky was bright, Huo You got up vigilantly.

She observed the sky outside the tent and thought that she could now clearly understand the harsh surroundings, so she woke Hang Chuan up.

Hang Chuan slept lightly and quickly sat up.

"Let's go, let's go and see the situation around us. ”

The two men abandoned the inflatable mattress and transparent tent, and after using a cleaning device to solve their personal hygiene, they also discarded it, and arrived at the top of the mountain with only a long rope, a short dagger, a water storage device, and a small pot.

Standing on the top and looking out, the blue ocean on the other side of the mountain comes into view.

"It was very windy. Huo You dragged Hang Chuan, asked him to step back, and asked, "What do we do now?"

She pointed out the four finish zones to Hang Chuan: "The previous broadcast revealed that the finish zone is in the four corners of Mull Island. Look thereβ€”"

Two of them are closest to their terminus, one at a sandy beach about 5Β° east-north, and the other at a rocky reef about 5Β° east-south.

These two destinations are closest to us, but we have to get there, unless we can fly there. ”

"You can also follow the north-south longitudinal line of the mountain, and you may be able to find a path down the mountain. Hang Chuan objectively analyzed.

Although there is some truth in his statement, what if they have worked hard to reach the north or south end of the mountain, only to find that there is still no way down the mountain?

Just as the two were analyzing the pros and cons of their next move, the sound of the radio rang out.

"Now the broadcast time, September 13, 4053 in the interstellar calendar, 7 o'clock in the morning. ”

"Please note that after the broadcast, candidates are allowed to snatch the terminal and obtain the points obtained by the other party from the terminal of the robbed candidate. ”

"Note that the Honey Robot will evaluate the candidate's violent behavior, and more than the deemed valid snatching behavior will result in the candidate's points being wiped out. ”

"You still have 12 hours to earn and grab points, and get to the finish zone for arrival certification. ”

"After reaching the certification, the points will be locked, and such candidates shall not affect the candidates who have not arrived, otherwise they will be disqualified from the exam. ”

"Repeat again......"

Huo You and Hang Chuan looked at each other.

Huo You muttered, "This is the real ...... Points race. ”
