When the competition was in full swing, Sun Xiuqing, who was busy watching and taking pictures, received a call from the developer.

The crowd was so loud that she had to avoid the crowd and go to a quiet place to answer.

The developers got straight to the point, "Remember the last gem mine?" ”

Sun Xiuqing asked hesitantly: "You mean, the gem mine we left behind after we rescued these people?" ”

"Yes, I sent some robots over some time ago to take over that mine. But the report shows that there are still signs of human activity there, so show you the photos taken at the scene. ”

Sun Xiuqing took off her mobile phone and saw that there were many re-excavated holes in the mountains and forests where some traces of burning had been burned, where many women and children were working with their heads, while the guards with whips patrolled not far away.

"Are these women and children ......?"

"The wives and children of your new inhabitants. The patriarch of the Smelting City seemed unwilling to give up this treasure land, and transferred the captives from other places here. ”

Sun Xiuqing was furious, she had witnessed with her own eyes how much labor intensity there was, and young and strong men couldn't bear it, let alone women and children!

"I'll tell everyone to go and save people!"

"This is what I want to remind you that during the time you were away, the patriarch did more than just transfer the women and children over and start over. As far as I know, the entire city has been transformed into a small military base, they have made a large number of bows and arrows and other weapons, and the whole people have participated in military training activities, and at least 2,000 residents have moved to the perimeter of the mine to defend, which is not the case where it can be easily attacked as last time. ”

Sun Xiuqing hung up the phone with an ugly face, and then returned to the competition venue with no smile on her face.

The competition was still going on, and Sun Xiuqing had no interest in shooting, but she still had to do what she had to do in order to meet the sponsor's requirements, so she stuffed her phone to Mayi. Ma Yi looked at her preoccupied look suspiciously, and asked what's wrong?

Sun Xiuqing hadn't figured out what to do, so she had to wave her hand and let her shoot, and walked to the periphery of the crowd.

By the way, I shouted Ohno and Sori.

Ohno, who was confused, and Su Li, who had already received the developer's instructions and was relatively calm, followed her all the way back to the conference hall, speechless all the way.

Sitting at the conference table, Sun Xiuqing didn't think of any good ideas, so she directly told the two of them the information revealed by the developer, and showed the photos to the two.

"What to do? If Lie had brought the woman and the child there, there would not have been much time left for us. After all, they are more vulnerable, and the sooner we act, the better. However, because the other party has learned the lesson last time, he is now very well prepared, and he will not let us succeed so easily. ”

"Since you said that the developer is going to take over the mine, she should be on our side, can you get some help from her?"

"I asked, it didn't work. She said she couldn't meddle in our business. ”

Ohno's face was a little ugly: "What is this, she wants the mine, but she refuses to contribute?" ”

Su Li defended the developer straightforwardly, saying: "The boss has her position, if it weren't for her insistence on the peaceful development of Blue Star 2, this place would have been razed to the ground a long time ago, and you primitives would have been wiped out long ago!" ”

"Why does she talk like that?" It's the first time Ohno has seen Sori like this, and he was surprised because he didn't know her identity.

Sun Xiuqing was also very upset when she listened to her unconditional defense of the developer, explaining: "She is the developer's person. ”

Su Li: "No, master, I'm your man. ”

Sun Xiuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, yes, it's her person, the so-called Sun Xiuqing whose whole position is unconditionally biased towards the developer, and ......

"Anyway, we have to figure out how to deal with it. Originally, we planned to select fifty advance troops to explore the whereabouts of these people, but since we already know where they are, why don't we stop the competition and let all the people who enter the second round of the competition form troops and set off to save people? ”

Su Li immediately objected to Sun Xiuqing's proposal: "Master, don't forget, this game is invested by a sponsor and must be carried out as scheduled, otherwise we will face huge liquidated damages." In addition, the other side now has an armed force of 2,000 men, and is fully armed, and our side has neither military training nor weapons, why do you think that we will win more with less, defeat 2,000 with 1,000 men, and rescue a few women and children? ”

Although Su Li's words are not to be heard, they are also true. Therefore, Sun Xiuqing was silent.

Ohno said to ease the atmosphere: "The competition will continue as usual, and after the results of the wrestling match are out, we will discuss it with other managers and representatives, work out the production plan for weapons, bows and arrows, and then arrange a military training plan." Although the matter is urgent, we must not be disorganized, and we must be fully prepared. ”

Sun Xiuqing agreed, and Su Li also nodded that she could.

The wrestling match also lasted for two days, and because of the secrecy of Sun Xiuqing and others, the enthusiasm of the residents was still high. Ma Yi posted a lot of small videos with wonderful pictures on Weibo, which aroused the eager onlookers of netizens and applauded the power of the ancient people.

At the end of the two-day wrestling competition, more than 200 people were decided to participate in the final triathlon finals. The winners were particularly happy, and in addition to the sheer joy of victory, they were also looking forward to the great prizes they would receive after being selected for the advance team.

However, after the results of the game were announced and everyone was congratulated, Sun Xiuqing announced a message to everyone that quieted everyone down.

"Yesterday, I got a message. Your loved ones have now been transferred to the former mines, where they are doing the same work as you used to. Needless to say, you know what kind of situation they are in now...... I wanted to inform you yesterday that we should go and get them back immediately, but as you know, we were lucky to have a successful operation last time. That mine is very important to Lie, he has already transferred 2,000 men for defense, and has prepared a large number of weapons, if our operation does not succeed in one fell swoop, not only the people we rescued, but also the women and children inside will be in very dangerous situations. ”

"After yesterday's discussion with Ohno and Su Li, today, I also consulted with many of your representatives, and we jointly decided that the competition for the selection of the advance team will continue, according to the original plan, we will select 50 advance team members to receive the most professional and rigorous assault training, and other people who want to participate in this rescue activity can also sign up, of course, they must also receive special training."

"All the remaining residents, in addition to ensuring their basic needs, are invited to participate in the weapon-forging process of Cuong and the Ashin Organization. Whether it is the residents of Guanlong City, the old residents of the new city or the new residents, everyone is now a family, I hope that everyone will participate in this matter, do not stay out of the matter, as long as the women and children in the mine are rescued, we will add many sisters and children, and work together to build the new city better and better. ”

As soon as this incident came out, people's originally enthusiastic mood suddenly fell to the bottom. They suddenly remembered that the competition of the past few days was not a purely entertaining event, but a selection of heroes for the search for their loved ones. However, now that there is news from the relatives, they cannot immediately set out to save people, and that feeling is really indescribable.

But no matter what everyone's mood is, everything still has to be in order.

The third triathlon race, according to Sun Xiuqing's original expectations, should be the most lively and jubilant part of the whole race process, but since that event was announced, the race has indeed been more exciting, because everyone tried their best to do their best, but the number of onlookers plummeted, and many people went to their posts and put themselves into the intense weapons production work.

Sun Xiuqing and several managers and representatives acted as referees, and Ma was responsible for filming according to the rules. The weather was not very good on this day, the sky was very overcast, and the dark clouds were thick, which made everyone's mood even heavier.

Triathlon 1st event, swimming.

The location was set on the wide river that flowed between the residential and agricultural areas of the new town. As the mother river of the people of Xincheng, this river is actually full of dangerous creatures, and although it is generally not fatal, it is also painful to be bitten. The reason why the river was chosen as a swimming competition venue is not only because it is the only suitable place for swimming near the new town, but also because the fish in the river can really test the courage of the participants.

The previous audition was to eliminate the accident of injury, but the final was different, after all, they were preparing for battle, if they didn't even have the consciousness of being bitten, how could they expect to fight hard in a critical situation?

About 250 players are divided into five groups, and the top 30 players from each group participate in the next round.

The starting point is located at the East Bridge No. 1 leading to the farmland in the residential area and ends at the westernmost West Bridge No. 1. Above the river, residents built four bridges for traffic, named East 1, East 2, West 1, and West 2, which are about four kilometers apart from the farthest bridges in East and West 1.

With the whistle at the beginning of the race, the 50 team members jumped into the cold river water of early summer like dumplings, and then swam desperately towards the finish line. From time to time, there was a cry of pain or laughter after being bitten by a swimming fish in the water, and those fish that bit hard will see blood, and ordinary force will make people feel very itchy.

If the shore is full of spectators at this time, it should be a more joyful scene. However, at this time, there were few spectators, and most of them were cheering for the players, and the players were not in a funny mood and swam forward with one mind.

After crossing the rushing river and moving hand in hand with the fish in the water, the first 30 of the 50 people made it to the finish line at the West Bridge No. 1. Those who swam slower were more likely to get up from the river until they reached the end, determined to join the ordinary corps, if not if not to join the advance force.
