“...... Here, who will be the first to cross the finish line? ”

The voice of the narrator was heard over the loudspeaker.

The Galapagos Supply Depot may never have gathered so many people.

These are the audience of the marathon!

After a long journey of more than two months, the second stage of the marathon is finally decided.

The audience traveled through the train between the two countries to the Galapagos Supply Station, which was located on the edge of the Ort Field, which was the midpoint of the Holy Alliance and the Trans-Western Sea Commercial Community, and further west, the territory of the Holy Alliance.

It's like a real city, with a complete system of public facilities, large fields and pastures, and the scale is no smaller than a normal town.

For this reason, the Galapagos Supply Station is also a famous attraction and research site, with a large permanent population, and the marathon is held, which is very lively at the moment.

"That's a lot of people......"

Wilbur drove the strangely shaped Flyer 1 into the supply depot amid the cheers of the people.

They are in the thirty-second rank, and I don't know whether to say good or bad.

Due to the influence of the abyss relics, the number of runners who were able to reach the finish line smoothly was one hundred and seven according to the statistics of the evening.

Compared to the more than 300 contestants at the end of the first stage, only a third is now left.

First in the race was Helmheim's Ralph Helmheim, who had a bit of luck along the way, with few unusual incidents, and as they weren't looking for treasure, they had plenty of time to finish a full ten hours ahead of second place.

Second in the line is Aleksandar Baplovich, who, as a promoter, copes with all kinds of troubles that arise with ease, and also finds two treasures, and in terms of points, there should be no doubt that he is the first.

The third after that was Remington Otto of the Western Sea, who drove his home-built car across the wasteland, although there seemed to be some trouble in between? It looks like the vehicle is a little dilapidated and hasn't gotten the treasure either, but now that you're able to complete the journey? Maybe his car will sell well in the future.

The fourth to tenth places are all strong players? Other than that? It is worth mentioning that the original popular wilderness driver Thomas Clemen seems to have chosen to abstain due to a car breakdown, leaving many people with no money.

And the Flyer 1, which had a brilliant performance in the first stage of the competition, naturally got a lot of bets? The result of 32nd place can only be said to be somewhat unexpected? But not enough to get people on the rooftop.

As for the first point in the first stage of the competition, Wu Yong is in the 120th place? And there are no additional treasures and points to be gained.

Therefore? The end result was Aleksandar Baplovich winning the second stage of the schedule with 398 points? At the same time, it ranked first with a total of 593 points.

The second place is Bai Ge who got a treasure? He has 269 points at this stage? More than 100 points away from the first place? He is also second in points overall.

The third place, somewhat unexpectedly, was not any one in the top ten, but Luke's little brother from the panda logistics branch of Pan Xihai, who inexplicably got the forty-seventh place in the second stage of the schedule? Moreover? Found a treasure? 254 points at this stage? Of course, combined with the previous points, he is only in the top 20 overall.

The remaining two treasures don't know if no one has found them? Or for some other reason, it did not appear in people's field of vision.

According to the rules of the race organizers, the participants will rest at the depot for about three days to completely adjust their vehicles and bodies before the race continues.

"In addition to the tires, other places also have to be checked, and it's really good luck to be able to drive these thousands of kilometers without problems."

Wilbur took the toolbox with the wrench and got under the car.

The Flyer 1 is not a professional off-road vehicle, and even because of its strange shape, it has a greater load to drive, so it is incredible that Wilbur can cover these 6,000 kilometers.

Of course, he shouldn't know that Bai Ge will use extraordinary abilities to eliminate the fatigue of tires and vehicles, and to some extent, it is relying on extraordinary strength that Flyer One can hold on for so long.

While Wilbur was focusing on repairing the vehicle, Bai Ge and Bamboo Frostfall did not stay aside, but decided to go to the Galapagos supply depot and inquire about the information by the way.

According to the official statement of [Marathon], there were some unexpected situations in the second stage of the race, and some participants were injured or even killed in unfortunate accidents, but the specific number was not disclosed, because these participants signed the relevant risk documents before the race, so others felt that although the death of these participants was unfortunate, it was an honor to be able to die on the wasteland with the pioneering spirit of human beings in such an epoch-making race.

The joyous atmosphere at the depot was not diluted by the dead.

People with oil paint on their faces danced to the fierce music, and the streets were filled with stalls with a wide variety of food, paid for by Atlas, and all the celebratory food and other food at the Galapagos supply station these days were enjoyed to the fullest.

It was undoubtedly a rare event for those who had lived a modest life at the supply station, and it was also a unique experience for spectators who came to watch the game to be able to enjoy the same sumptuous food in the middle of the wasteland as in the city.

Zhu Shuang walked beside Bai Ge and looked at these vendors with interest.

"This looks delicious!"

She saw a stall owner making something like a wrap and pointed at it, making Bai Ge look away.

"Hey, this is a special feature of Alexandria, right?"

Bai Ge saw something familiar and asked.

"Ah, little brother, do you know, this is our special seafood burrito in Alexandria, with a special fruit drink, it tastes very good, do you want to buy one for your lovely girlfriend to try?"

When the shopkeeper heard that Bai Ge seemed to know a lot about his own food, he hurriedly showed a commercial smile and greeted him.

"I want a burrito, two glasses of juice."

Anyway, it was free, so Bai Ge ordered one.

The owner spreads the batter in a pan and spreads it out with a special spatula to form a cake, then puts the thawed shrimp, shellfish, processed fish, etc. into another pan and stir-fried, then spreads it on the cake that is gradually curding, adds some vegetables, and drizzles the sauce to make a seafood burrito that is a specialty of Alexandria.

The drink, on the other hand, seems to be made with concentrated fruit juice mixed with water, with ice cubes, which is cool and slightly acidic.

"It's delicious."

Zhu Shuangchuan took the burrito, took a small bite, and his eyes lit up.

"The sauce is a little sour and a little spicy, is it yuzu?"

As the ascender of the beast archetype, her tongue is naturally very sensitive, and she tastes the mystery at once.

"The lemon and yuzu are added to the sweet and spicy sauce and mixed with the slightly sweet burrito, which highlights the flavor of the seafood without making it feel greasy, which is a clever combination."

Bamboo Frost commented.

She is a rich lady, and she has eaten a lot of well-made delicacies.

"This juice is also very good, there is a sand and sea smell, it should be coconut water in it, there are some tropical fruits, the rich sweetness makes the burrito even more delicious, the two are so perfect together!"

A bite of burritos, a bite of juice, bamboo frost is very happy.

"yes, I loved it when I was in Alexandria."

Bai Ge sighed.

"Then it seems that our tastes are quite close."

Bamboo Frost grinned.

"But maybe it tastes completely different from what I ate in Alexandria."

It's not that Bai Ge hasn't eaten the Zhuxia dishes of the Panxi Sea, he can only say that the ingredients are quite similar, what about the others......

At the Galapagos supply station in the middle of the wilderness, Alexandria's seafood burritos may have turned into something completely different.

"Then you can taste it."

Zhu Shuang handed the burrito that he had taken a bite of to Bai Ge.

Bai Ge took a bite and tasted it.

"Well, it's what I got in Alexandria, and the seafood isn't as fresh, but the sauce is authentic."

He nodded again and again, and returned the burrito to Bamboo Frost.

"Little brother, you also stayed in Alexandria before?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked.

"yes, yes."

Bai Ge didn't explain it in detail.

"Oh, those things were terrible, I wasn't in Alexandria at the time, but I heard from my friends that a lot of people died that day, hey, it's really miserable."

The shopkeeper said with trepidation, he was naturally referring to the alchemy puppet rebellion in Alexandria.

"yes."

Bai Ge nodded in agreement.

"I hope it doesn't happen again."

The shopkeeper sighed, and on the side, perhaps watching the bamboo frost eat the burritos very deliciously, and other customers came to the stall, and the shopkeeper quickly went to greet them.

Bai Ge and Zhu Shuang continued to walk through the market, and in the middle of the street, people began to parade to the music, as if it were a big party.

"Ah, and ice cream, I want this too."

Zhu Shuang had just finished eating the burrito, holding the juice in one hand and Bai Ge in the other, and looked at a shop with an ice cream sign.

The ice cream is scooped into balls with a spoon, and since it's August, it's a little hot even at the Galapagos supply station, so it's a lot of customers.

"Is this ice cream ......?"

Bai Ge thought of the first time he went out with Ai Lian, and when he watched her perform the "mission", it seemed that she was invited to eat such ice cream, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Little brother, do you want one, your girlfriend must like it very much."

The shopkeeper was naturally not the one from Jingjiang, but a blonde and blue-eyed man, and he didn't know if it was Pan Xihai or the Holy Alliance.

"Then I want a four-ball one."

Bai Ge said, and soon, the shopkeeper handed him the four-ball ice cream in a carton.

"Give."

Bai Ge handed it to Bamboo Frost, and the girl picked up the spoon and put one of the pink, probably strawberry-flavored, into her mouth, narrowing her eyes slightly, like a cat purring in her throat.

"Delicious! It's just ordinary ice cream, why is it so delicious? ”

Bamboo Frost couldn't help but take another bite.

"Because I gave it to you?"

Bai Ge laughed.

"Well, it's possible."

Zhu Shuang nodded, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, and handed it to Bai Ge.

"You want to taste it too?"

"Then you're welcome."

He ate the ice cream from the spoon, and although it was made with artificial colors and fruit juice concentrate, it was true that it was very pleasant to be able to eat such sweets in the middle of this wasteland.

The two of them walked around for a while before buying some hot food and returning to the side of Flyer One.

Wilbur was sitting on the roof of the oddly shaped car, his face still a little oily, and he was holding the notebook in his hand, and he was scribbling something.

"Journaling again?"

Bai Ge quipped.

"It's not a diary...... Ah, it smells so good, I'm starving! ”

Wilbur jumped down, stuffed his notebook into the storage box next to the driver's seat, and picked up the food that Bai Ge had brought over.

"It's potato beef stew, it's so good, this fragrance, it's the flavor of the Holy Alliance."

"Does it make a difference?"

Bai Ge didn't quite understand Wilbur's persistence.

"Don't you know, Mr. Heinlein, although they are all potato stews, the potatoes of the Pan Western Sea are directly put into the pot and cooked, while the Holy Alliance's will be fried once, and the processing method of beef is completely different, it can be said that they are two completely different dishes!"

Wilbur said with a clear eye.

"Moreover, most of the food in the Pan-Western Sea is unpalatable, and it is simply not worthy of being called a dish, especially Greenwich, and my grandfather used to say that people over there can eat it without changing their faces, even if they have gears and screws on their plates!"

"Really?"

Bai Ge thinks that there are still a lot of delicious dishes in the West Sea, such as seafood burritos in Alexandria, and as for Greenwich dishes, he doesn't eat much, but he only heard that there is a dark dish called stargazing pie, which is very famous.

Wilbur took the pot of potato beef stew and ate it with freshly baked bread, and quickly enjoyed it.

Although it is a simple food, maybe this potato beef stew reminds him of his hometown.

To be honest, if Bai Ge woke up with a bowl of hometown food in front of him, he would also be very moved.

Now, he is in the wilderness more than 20,000 kilometers away from his hometown, and this melancholy about his hometown has deepened a lot.

But at least, the bamboo frost fell beside him, making Bai Ge feel that his family was at hand.

The starry sky was still shining, and the Galapagos supply station seemed to have no night, and in the midst of this bustle, three days passed.

The third stage of the marathon has officially begun.
