"Huh? Why haven't you slept yet? ”

Bai Ge returned to the room, but saw that Wilbur, the young man, had not rested, but was looking at the still lively grand party outside the window.

"We didn't get the first place in the points...... Well? Mr. Heinlein, I thought you weren't coming back tonight? ”

Wilbur turned his head slowly, and he suddenly frowned when he saw Bai Ge.

"And where do I sleep?"

Bai Ge asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it Miss Take's room?"

Wilbur rightly said.

"Ahem, you may have some misunderstandings."

Bai Ge cleared his throat and looked at him left and right.

He touched his forehead while Wilbur was dazed, feeling a little weak.

Is this what "marking" is?

Bai Ge didn't understand, he used his [Assassin Vision] to simply check, and there were indeed faint traces left by bamboo frost on his forehead, but this seemed to be no different from the marks left by ordinary normal contact, and he didn't know how this ability would affect him.

But then again, it turns out that girls are so soft...... Bah, Baige, what are you thinking?

"By the way, we can prepare more water and less food in our material reserves, there are many beasts in the wasteland, but there is a shortage of fresh water resources, and there should be a supply station or something like that on the way, so we don't need to prepare so much food."

Retracting his dangerous divergent thinking, Bai Ge reminded that the wasteland is not completely deserted, and that each supply station is independent of each other to provide supplies for the players, and the tournament organizers also use these supply stations as some checkpoints to count the order during the race and deal with unexpected situations.

"Oh."

Wilbur nodded, and after a moment, turned his head in hindsight.

"Wait, Mr. Heinlein, you just said, beasts of the wasteland? Are we going to eat those monsters? ”

"Yes."

Bai Ge replied simply.

"Those monsters, can they really be eaten?"

Wilbur twitched the corners of his mouth, and it looked like the other party wasn't joking.

"Of course, remove the head, heat up the rest of the body, the chicken flavor, crunchy."

Bai Ge said faintly.

"Chicken-flavored ......"

Wilbur was not very relieved, after all, in various books, movies and television programs, the monsters of the wasteland were not only very dangerous, but also terrifying-looking, and those wild animals with sharp teeth and claws in the old era could be regarded as amiable in front of those monsters.

During the Great Collapse, more than ninety percent of the creatures on the planet became permanently extinct, and most of the rest were mutated, especially in the wasteland, which was eroded by the abyss.

The International Astronomical Union has classified the monsters in the wasteland and the abyss according to their level of danger, similar to the upgrader, and is also divided into seven levels, although operators such as MI5 like to rate those monsters by the risk level of the abyss relics, but for the wasteland hunters, bounty hunters, and people living in supply stations, the danger of these beasts is still more easily reflected in a popular way.

The weakest of these are paper-class animals, as the name suggests, that is, paper-fragile creatures, which are more suitable to avoid human harm than humans, including some very small insects, atmospheric plankton, small fish swimming in shallow waters that are not combative, and those that are not poisonous and cannot move.

Most of the paper-class creatures are the food source of the humans who live in the wasteland.

A [and] level creature is a stronger creature than the [paper] class, or a [and] class creature is an ordinary creature, such as a human, if it is placed on the wasteland, it can be regarded as a [and] level creature.

Ten thousand types of frost are free, and the [and] level creatures are the most numerous and most numerous creatures in the wasteland. Normally, an average human armed with a modern weapon will be able to hunt and kill a [and] class creature in most cases, but the Ascended is even simpler.

Above the [and] are the [strong] level creatures, these creatures are mostly the upper layer of the local food chain, and have the characteristics of active attack, the third-order ascender or the same level of existence can be called the [strong] level creatures, in most cases, even if they have weapons, it is difficult for ordinary humans to escape from the hands of the [strong] level creatures.

[Fierce] This level of creatures corresponds to the fourth order and above, close to the fifth order of the upgrader, the creatures at this stage are the top of the local food chain, is the top predator, and has a sense of territory, a considerable degree of wisdom, even if it is a prepared level upgrader, it is possible to overturn due to the terrain, environment, weather, and various reasons.

Further up, there are [mad] level creatures, this level of creatures is already the strongest level under the demigods, the number is very small, and there are few observation records, and most of them are dormant in the abyss, according to the abyss, they also have different specificities.

At the [mad] level, the individuals of these creatures are already extremely powerful, and the International Astronomical Union has named the creatures that have been discovered at the [mad] level, so these monsters are also called two monsters in the mouths of some bounty hunters, that is, monsters with a second name, and being able to hunt a [mad] level monster is almost the pursuit of many bounty hunters and wasteland hunters in their lifetimes.

Demigods or above, it is a [god] level monster, at present, only in the deepest part of some huge abysses there have been [god] level monster sighting records, the destructive power of these monsters is comparable to natural disasters, such as the [Lord of Frost, Dusk] is a [god] level monster that once appeared in the extreme north, he once caused the extreme night in the extreme north for six years, until later, this monster was defeated by the emperor of the extreme north and retreated into the abyss, which allowed the cold country to see the sun again.

The most dangerous creatures in the wasteland and abyss are the creatures of the Extraordinary, which have only a few reports of sightings, and even their existence cannot necessarily be proven, and they are on the same level of danger as natural disasters, and in some cases more dangerous.

Now, there is only one creature at the level of [Extraordinary] that can be determined, and the official name is [World Destroyer, Ragnaroke], according to the restoration of the clues left by various relics by scholars, the last time he appeared was about the [Lightless Era] after the Great Collapse, and his appearance in the North American continent region of the old era, his appearance directly led to the complete destruction of almost all the shelters in North America within ten minutes, disappeared from the map, and one tenth of the human beings on this planet died, because of this, The Holy Alliance was established hundreds of years later than other nations.

"Of course, we shouldn't encounter any dangerous monsters, the line between the Holy Alliance and the Pan-Western Sea often has trains shuttling through various supply stations on weekdays, at most, there may be some [strong] monsters in places where no one is around, we can deal with it."

Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Bai Ge looked at the vehicles outside that were speeding forward, and said to Wilbur beside him.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, with the sound of the starting gun, the participants passed the first stage of the race and set out again to meet the long second stage of the race.

Due to the long duration and distance of this stage of the race, many competitors did not sprint at the beginning of the first day, but maintained a relatively flat pace to reduce the wear and tear on the vehicle.

If the first stage of the schedule is a race, then the second stage is undoubtedly a durability.

In the long period of two months, endure the lonely journey, move towards the end point that you can't see, and there may be accidents, monster attacks, fresh water shortages, extreme weather, and finally reach the destination, which is a long journey that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

"But don't we really have to run forward first, what if the supply depot runs out of gas?"

Wilbur asked, scratching the back of his head with his left hand.

According to the organizers' brochure, they have set up enough petrol at some of the stations in advance, but not enough for all the vehicles to fill up.

This raises the question.

If you slow down, you will encounter a situation where the gasoline is run out of vehicles that arrive in advance, which will further delay the progress and make it very difficult to resupply the next time.

However, if you accelerate to grab gasoline from the supply station, driving on this wasteland will consume more fuel, and whether you can successfully support the next supply station is also a problem.

And......

"There are three nearest supply stations to the starting point, located on different routes, the nearest three hundred kilometers, the farthest five hundred kilometers, and the choice of route should be the first point of divergence."

Bai Ge looked at the map and said.

Under normal circumstances, everyone should choose the nearest refueling station to refuel and adjust their status, but if everyone chooses to do so, then the fuel at this refueling station will inevitably be insufficient, and even if the contestants are faster than those who choose other routes, they will be delayed.

The farthest option may face all sorts of problems, and you may not even be able to reach the supply station.

The average vehicle travels more than 600 kilometers to fill up its fuel tank, and it is theoretically possible to reach the farthest supply point safely, but this is a wasteland, and all kinds of situations can happen, and no one dares to risk it at will.

As for the compromise, similar to the thinking of the first two, since the farthest and closest are inconvenient, it is possible that more people will choose this supply station in the middle, resulting in overcrowding.

"In addition, there are treasures, and the second phase of the game's activities has also begun, and there are currently six maps in the first chapter of the second phase, which should be the location of the six treasures."

Bai Ge looked at his phone, he couldn't speed up this activity himself.

But fortunately, he has tool people...... The big guy helps.

[Lao Tzu's first cuteness in the world]: Give, this is the clue of the six treasures, fortunately you are looking for me, if you want to replace it with someone else, I'm afraid it's still stuck in the third picture, it's me, it's really amazing.

[Goo Gu Goo]: Thank you for the big guy, I have the opportunity to invite the big guy to eat delicious food.

[Lao Tzu is the most cute in the world]: Let's not talk about this, is the cute girl next to you also there?

“？”

Bai Ge looked at the conversation that popped up on the screen of his mobile phone, and a question mark popped up on his head.

He glanced behind him with some weakness.

Zhu Shuangjiang was sitting on the portable bed in the back seat, looking out the window intently, because her clothes had gone with the off-road vehicle, so she was wearing a makeshift sweatshirt and trousers, because the size was not right, she looked extremely petite.

Although there is no relevant precedent, it doesn't seem to be a problem to bring one more person, and the organizer did not stop Bai Ge from bringing one more bamboo frost, so she followed Bai Ge on this long journey.

[Goo-goo]: Yes, indeed.

For some reason, Bai Ge had the illusion that Coluva would appear beside him in the next moment.

[Lao Tzu is the most cute in the world]: Tsk, forget it, Miss Ben is a very generous person, and she won't care about this.

"Generous?"

Bai Ge tilted his head, not knowing what Kluwa was talking about.

He thanked the other party and checked the information on the six treasures.

According to the information of the organizers, each of the treasures in the second stage has 100 points, which means that if you can get two treasures, then as long as you insist on finishing the course, you can get the same points as the participants who are in the first place in the normal lead.

And such treasures, in addition to this first round of supply points, there are many more, far more than six.

Maybe in the end, there will be a situation where you are obviously far behind, but you will be reversed because the amount of treasure you get is enough.

After the baptism of the first stage, the number of participants in the second stage of the competition was significantly reduced, some of them were due to their own vehicles and physical reasons, and some of them were simply abstained from the first stage of the competition.

As a result, the number of participants in the second stage has dropped sharply from thousands to less than 300, and almost all of those who remain are quite competitive.

When choosing a route, it is also part of the strategy to make different choices from other powerful competitors.

Of course, Bai Ge and others, who won the first place in the first stage of the competition, are also regarded as strong opponents.

At this moment, next to Bai Ge's vehicle, there were several cars following.

These people have a reverse thinking, since everyone is unwilling to act with the strong, then we will turn around and follow the strong to act, so that even if there is any danger, the big guy will be in front, and he only needs to follow the back and be done.

"Mr. Heinlein, which path are we going to choose, I think someone has already turned."

Wilbur drove the car and saw that some cars in the distance had deflected direction, and he didn't know whether to go treasure hunting or decide which supply depot to go to.

Bai Ge gave a brief glance.

The largest number of riders, led by Thomas Clemen, opted for the mid-distance depot, while the first stage of the points of the first stage, Zhuxia Heavy Industries' Wu Yong and the two cars of the Helmheim team, chose the nearest depot, while Aleksandar Paplovich chose the furthest depot.

After another glance at the clues of the six treasures that Cruwa had given him, Bai Ge made a decision.

"We choose the furthest supply depot."
