One girl raised her hand to speak: "Mr. Examiner, I think this competition discriminates against women's physical strength. ”

Yu Ming replied: "The difference in physical strength between men and women is congenital, and in our investigation work, it is impossible to get a favorable balance of physical strength just because you are a woman. And I don't think it's about physical strength in this race, you calculate, how much mineral water do you need to carry to reach 40 kilometers in seven hours? The walking speed should not be lower than almost six kilometers. The surface temperature in the desert this afternoon is 52 degrees. ”

Lix said: "Within fifteen minutes, you need to choose your own destination, let's say you choose ten kilometers, but you regret it, you have to make corrections, you need to come back here, no movement for half an hour, during this half an hour, you can't use the facilities of the base camp, including the shadows." Players are forbidden to attack each other, and they will be eliminated as soon as they are found. ”

Yu Ming said: "There is some food here, you can only eat but not bring, the water can be taken away as much as possible, everyone choose the route and talk to the staff, disband." ”

This is a selection question with a certain game color, and the key is not what you choose, but what others choose. Seventeen people, any one person can reach the end of the 10 kilometers, but this result is the second choice, if 10 people reach the 20 kilometers point, you will be eliminated.

Choose between 20 and 30 kilometers, and those who are confident in their physical strength can challenge the 40 kilometers that will inevitably advance. But is it necessary to challenge forty kilometers? If you can get the top three in the 30km, it is enough to ensure that you will appear. Walking 40 kilometers in 52 degrees Celsius was a huge challenge.

Yu Ming put on a straw hat and sat on the side of the stone to watch the players, most of the players looked solemn and thought quietly. There are a few mischievous ones who ask about other people's options. But everyone is a competitor, how can you get the truth. The route is chosen, and the amount of mineral water you want to carry, the more water you have, the better, but it will also lead to a heavier load. Choosing the right amount of water is also the key to success.

Jackets are a must, hats are required, boots are required...... The girls got on the bus and changed into desert walks, and the boys waited and thought at the same time. Lix handed Yu Ming a cigar. Ask: "So, if it were you, which path would you choose?" ”

"Twenty kilometers or ten kilometers." Yu Ming replied.

“weishenme？”

"Because I can't walk more than thirty kilometers." The sun is mild at nine o'clock, but once it reaches twelve o'clock, the desert becomes a steamer. Yu Mingdao: "I believe that many people will challenge 30 kilometers. This is a relatively safe distance, but this question mainly tests everyone's understanding of their own physical strength. If they abandon their roots...... What about you. Lyx? ”

"I was going to challenge 30 kilometers, but when you say that, I think 20 kilometers is not bad." Lix laughed.

Yu Ming asked: "Don't you think about ten kilometers?" ”

Lix frowned: "Do you think that the number of people who can't complete the goal will be more than seven?" ”

"Probably more than that, that's the hardest choice." Yu Mingdao: "Some people think of everyone challenging beyond their physical limits, but they are unwilling to choose ten kilometers and let others decide their own destiny. If I'm guessing correctly, more than 50% of people will choose thirty kilometers. ”

Lix pulled out a box of Cuban cigars: "This is my bet. ”

Yu Ming took out the lighter: "Bet on." ”

……

Everyone is gearing up. Yu Ming and Lix walked to the staff's position, the number of applicants for thirty kilometers was twelve, and Lix handed the cigar to Yu Ming. Look at it again, the number of applicants for 40 kilometers is two. The number of applicants for the 20 km is three. Yu Ming looked at the list, and then compared the information and said: "There should be no problem with these two people at forty kilometers." "One is Yu Ming's alternate member of the last trials: Phuket. Phuket has felt the physical strength and perseverance of Yu Ming, and the chairman's committee also knows that if it were not for the limited list, and Yu Ming and Mandy's excellent performance, Phuket would have been a full member. There is also Alexander, Yu Ming does not know Alexander's physical strength, but he knows Alexander's personality a little, and knows that if he is not sure, Alexander will not choose forty kilometers.

"Thirty kilometers, seven hours, 4.3 kilometers per hour, twelve people, deducting two places for forty kilometers, twelve people for eight places, and race for speed." It seems that you guessed it right again, the number of people who can't complete the goal may be more than seven. ”

"Do you know what I want to see most?" Yu Ming said: "When a player can't support it, some people think that we are considering it from the side, so they will support the team members to move forward." And ignoring the environment of this question, they are competitors among themselves. ”

"You're pretty bad." Lix laughed.

"I prefer women to call me bad." Yu Ming looked at his watch and picked up the microphone: "It's time, let's go." ”

The selection was equipped with two helicopters, and there were medical staff in the base camp, which were handled by the local investigation agency or the help company. After years of development, the International Independent Investigator Organization has accumulated a considerable number of organizational funds, which are invested by a dedicated team, and the annual income is stable at about 10%, and Yu Ming will not save money for the organization.

The runners also found that the 30km race was too crowded, and except for the 40km runner, the rest of the people were heartbroken. Choosing 30 kilometers knows that reaching 30 kilometers does not mean that you will definitely win, and you still need to compete for time. Twenty-kilometer selectors are nervous, and even if they reach the finish line in seconds, they may be eliminated.

Ten kilometers were left unmanned, twenty kilometers were followed by a sand jeep, thirty kilometers were equipped with five, and forty kilometers were equipped with one. Yu Ming and Lix held up a sun umbrella in the base camp, drank drinks and ate watermelon and chatted. Yu Ming thought of his own selection, and estimated that those examiners saw that he was walking in the mountain road, and his heart was also a cool word.

Ten minutes into the game, to Yu Ming's surprise, Kate returned to the base camp and accepted a half-hour punishment to change her route. Her route, which was originally to cover 30 kilometres, is now changed to 10 kilometres. Lix contacted the return of a jeep from 30 kilometers, and Lix said to Ming: "This choice is a bit unexpected. ”

"I think she knows that 20 kilometers is no longer enough to catch up with the runner who starts 40 minutes first, so she might as well choose 10 kilometers as the goal. She is also betting that at least seven people will not be able to complete the race. Yu Ming frowned: "This is a bit risky." Unless she knew her situation, it was impossible for her to arrive faster than her group. Those 10 kilometers were her best bet. ”

Yu Ming looked at Kate, a beautiful white woman with silver hair, twenty-six years old, Spanish, her father was a police officer who had retired and started a private detective agency. Kate herself had a simple experience, going to school in Madrid and going to university in Madrid. The only thing that stood out was the pursuit of the artwork that was transferred to Spain, this time the independent investigator hired the help of Kate's father, Kate's father was not in good health, so Kate and the investigator recovered the artwork together, and she was naturally recommended by the investigator.

Kate has no professional skills, only English and Spanish, and is not a lawyer or a finance graduate. The fighting he is good at is swordsmanship, and his level is average. But the physical condition is very good in all aspects. Overall, Kate is a vase, but in terms of the performance on the first game day, Yu Ming thinks Kate is smarter than everyone thinks. And this choice is full of a certain amount of risk, although Yu Ming and Lix think that the number of eliminated people will exceed seven, but they did not say that they are dead, if you have to say the possibility, 60% will eliminate seven people, then there is a 40% possibility......

Kate sits on the sand with her hat on, and she can't use all the items in the base camp, including shade. A staff member is timing her. Kate looked at Yu Ming and Lix, who were eating watermelon and didn't seem to care much about herself. In Monnie and Phuket's descriptions, she gets some information, and Kate is sure that Yu Ming is the one who has the final word among the two examiners.

It's not so much a battle between the selectors as it is a contest between the selectors and the examiners. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, the data shows that Yu Ming is a low-key person with excellent observation skills. He is a person who uses his mind and does not think in the mud. Yu Ming suddenly looked at Kate and smiled at her. Kate was shocked, as if Yu Ming knew that he was figuring him out, and this smile was very ill-intentioned.

A row of sun umbrellas, Yu Ming walked to the staff to look at the computer, and the locator showed the current location of everyone. Due to the use of a compass and the clear direction, there is basically no possibility of getting lost. Yu Ming pointed and asked: "Forty kilometers of two people." ”

The staff replied: "The speed is 6.3 kilometers per hour, the two people are five meters apart, and No. 1 (Alexander) is in the lead." ”

"What's wrong with thirty kilometers?"

"Most of them were within 100 meters, and there were two female runners who were 400 meters behind the team, at a speed of five kilometers per hour, and the two were advancing in parallel," the staff said. ”

"What about the three of them at twenty kilometers?"

The staff replied: "The distance between the three is always within thirty meters, alternating leads, and the speed is 7.8 kilometers per hour." ”

"Huh." Twenty kilometers is the fastest for people, and everyone is rushing for their lives. It seems that the three of them understand in their hearts that sub-priority is important to them. But at a speed of 7.8 kilometers in the desert, and the surface temperature has now reached 43 degrees, can it last to 20 kilometers?

Yu Ming picked up the walkie-talkie and asked: "The on-site situation of the 20-kilometer group." ”

The jeep replied: "It's too abnormal, all three players are in a state of catching up." ”

"The situation on the scene of the 30-kilometer group."

The jeep replied: "Two people have experience in desert walking, they drink a small amount of water regularly, the others seem to be inexperienced, and one woman also wears sunscreen, but she forgets that the desert sand is not the same as the beach sand, and the fine sand has stuck to her bare spots." In addition, the 30 km group is headwind, with a wind force of 4. ”

"The situation on the scene of the forty-kilometer group."

The jeep replied: "Two veterans, I believe that there is no big problem. (To be continued......)
