By the last leg of the journey, Di Yi's departure order had jumped to the eighth place. Even compared with the second with the shortest time, there is a big gap.
Today, the No. 1 ranking in the Diyi qualifiers has basically stabilized. Now everyone's attention is not on the competition for the first or second place, but is looking forward to the last part of the journey, when Diyi overtook the top 8 players and ran to the first position.
This also means that there is a 38-minute time difference between the first and second places. If it can be achieved, it will become the biggest highlight of this qualifier.
At this time, on the big screen, the scene in the No. 6 virtual training ground was projected. Continuing the style of the previous journey, it is still the overwhelming wind and sand, and the sky so cloudy that the sun cannot be seen clearly.
The track is more blurry for this distance, and visibility is so low that it's hard to see where the edge of the track is if you don't look closely.
This time, it even affected the audience outside the venue.
"I can't see clearly. How can I run in this weather?"
"By the way, where is the Diyi player?"
As if hearing the call of the audience, the camera deliberately stayed on Bai Yue for several seconds.
Aware of the shooting, Bai Yue raised his head and smiled at the camera.
The audience was silent for half a second, then boiled.
"Wait, it's alpha, right? It's alpha, right?"
"I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to shout out to the same sex - I can!"
The members of the support club were even more excited: "Ah, Bai Yue!"
"Husband Bai Yue smiled at me, awsl."
Due to the excellent performance of the first few players, and the first player of Diyi is also a student who looks like an omega, after seeing Bai Yue's appearance, no one has any doubts, but expects this person to bring them. Bigger surprise.
At the same time, in the dark flag lounge.
At the end of the qualifiers, all the attention to them was snatched away by Emperor Yi. Although I feel resentful, I have to admit that the performance of those players is really brilliant.
However, patience is only temporary. Once the coach dispatches their trump card, everyone's eyes will naturally focus on their dark flag.
Just that trump card...
Everyone turned their heads, and their eyes fell on the man.
They've been sleeping since the start of the game, no matter how excited they were, they didn't wake anyone up.
And it wasn't until the last part of the journey started that the ace turned over and sat up on his back. The coat covering his face fell.
The young man's flaxen hair was messed up, his eyes were cast on the electronic screen, and he happened to see the picture of Bai Yue smiling at the camera.
He seemed to finally have a trace of interest, and looked at the electronic screen with his arms folded.
The coach was quite helpless: "You guy, you really can't look away when you see a good-looking omega."
"Omega?"
Sikong Xing Lanlan glanced at the coach.
"Open your eyes and take a good look, this is that S+ alpha."
Hearing this, the coach was stunned.
At the moment, he didn't care about the other party's rude words, and looked at the electronic screen again.
This beautiful young man who looks harmless to humans and animals is actually the special recruit that Di Yi is proud of? Unexpectedly, people were sent out in the qualifiers.
The other team members also looked unbelievable.
Sikong Xing rested his chin in his hand and stared at the boy in the picture.
He was curious, what kind of tricks this seemingly unremarkable s+ could show him.
Player No. 1 arrived smoothly, and the dark flag completed the handover. And he didn't run far before he fell into confusion, as if he couldn't recognize the road.
Someone saw it: "The sandstorm is too big. If you run at the previous speed, you may get lost."
The Dark Flag player looked up at the camera, and stopped as if he had made up his mind. Go forward step by step.
Someone sighed: "It seems to be a tug of war."
Walking on the sand leaves a trail of footprints. But after a few seconds, it was covered by the wind and sand brought by the strong wind. Even if people later tried to identify the direction by the footprints of the players in front, there was no way to do so.
A few minutes later, the second player caught up. He glanced at the dark flag that knew the way inch by inch, remembered the wonderful performance of Lu Diyi in the previous section, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Turning his head, he continued to walk forward at a fast speed.
The time-consuming ranking of the dark flag fell to the third place. Before the audience could sigh, they saw that the dark flag had returned to the second place.
"Hey, what's going on?"
The dark flag in the clear picture is still carefully exploring the way, how can the ranking rise
Someone noticed the change in the ranking on the big screen, and found that the school that had been ranked second just now suddenly fell to the bottom, with two big red characters printed on the ranking position behind.
-disuse.
"Sure enough, it's still too radical, it's a trap."
The audience chatted casually.
The people who were eliminated from the school were not so calm, and everyone was covering their heads and wailing.
They obviously worked so hard, and they managed to keep the third position and run all the way up to now. How did he get eliminated in an instant
Although based on their previous results, they are not expected to make it to the finals. But being eliminated in the qualifiers is really rare.
Contestant No. 2 was lost in the wind and sand with a bewildered look on his face.
"Location 8, Di Yi, get ready to go!"
It seemed that Shang Yufei had reached the end now.
Bai Yue returned to his senses and stepped onto the starting line. After an order, he rushed out.
And he quickly noticed the abnormality. With this kind of visibility, it's easy to get lost if you rush too fast.
"… "
In short, keep your speed as fast as you can without veering off the track.
He ran unhurriedly.
Outside the field, everyone who thought they could see the amazing performance was a little disappointed. According to common sense, the finale should be the most powerful player.
But this player, although it is not to say that he is not good - on the contrary, if they are judged only by appearance, they will be surprised by his strength.
However, in the contrast of the excellent performances of the first few sticks, this level is slightly insufficient.
Given this visibility, it is not incomprehensible that the policy is conservative.
But since he was a student of Teiichi and had the final responsibility on his shoulders, wouldn't it be a matter of course to break the deadlock.
Everyone looked at it for a while, and seeing that there was still no change, they couldn't help urging: "Change someone, what's so good about being slow."
The organizer quickly switched the screen and moved to the fifth leg of the journey.
With the exception of the top eight who have already started their final leg, the rest of the runners remain on the fifth leg. In order to compete for the tenth place, it has almost turned into a big melee.
The audience's attention was quickly drawn to the past.
Sure enough, compared to simple running. They prefer this kind of stimulating content.
After Shang Yufei arrived at the finish line, he came out of the virtual training ground, but did not see Bai Yue on the big screen.
He frowned, and was about to look at other small screens when he was approached by volunteers.
"Your section is over, you can go back to the lounge first."
Shang Yufei glanced at the man.
The volunteer is a male omega, who just saw Shang Yufei on the big screen. At this moment, when I met the real person at close range, my face blushed subconsciously.
Shang Yufei looked away disinterestedly: "I'm waiting here."
The volunteer was a little disappointed, nodded, and went to remind the other players who came out.
A hurricane is approaching.
Bai Yue closed his eyes, opened them again after the sandstorm, but saw that the edge of the track had disappeared.
But he still remembered the location, walked over and wiped away the fine sand, and a scarlet red line was exposed.
After determining the direction of travel, he continued to run forward.
There was no one around, and there was not a single living thing to be seen.
As if at the end of the world, only the sound of the wind whistling and the soles of the shoes rubbing against the ground can be heard.
And, a strange whale moo loomed. The sound is looming.
After a few times, Bai Yue confirmed the direction of the sound source.
He was about to turn his head to look, when suddenly another hurricane came.
He subconsciously closed his eyes. When the wind passed, nothing could be heard.
The world is at peace again.
Bai Yue had to give up and turned his head to look forward.
Not long after, a shadow appeared not far away and stopped in the track.
After he got closer, he found that it was the player who just ran in front.
The other party did not know what to see, and his face was surprised. After hearing footsteps, he looked over.
Seeing that it was a later contestant, he recovered and moved forward.
What's wrong
Bai Yue was a little puzzled.
After a while, this empty land gave birth to a strange whale moo again.
Every moo brings a gust of wind.
Bai Yue sensed something and covered his face with his arms in advance. At this time, I heard panic in the voice of the person in front.
"Did you hear that! That voice just now!"
Just as Bai Yue was about to answer, the wind was already blowing. He had to shut his mouth.
However, this time, he did not close his eyes, but looked at the voice with empty eyes, trying to judge the identity of the voice.
Then he saw it.
In the yellow sand flying all over the sky, there is an incomparably huge black shadow. It looks like a fish, but it is almost half the size of a giant egg.
People stand in front of it, as small as a grain of rice.
The huge black shadow rose up, jumped into the air, and plunged deep into the ground. It's like swimming in the deep sea, like a duck in water.
After the shadow disappeared, the wind also weakened.
Bai Yue put down his hand, but did not slow down.
The person in front suddenly stopped, he didn't pay attention, and bumped into it all at once.
"Come again, come again, that monster!"
The contestant grabbed his head: "That big one. It was obviously a terrain obstacle before, how did you get out of this thing this time?"
Although it has not been attacked so far. But every time a whale mooed, a gust of wind would be drawn. Then cover the track, seriously affecting their speed.
To be able to move forward normally, the monster must be dealt with; otherwise, it can only be disturbed all the time and move forward at a turtle speed.
If only that would be fine. The most worrying thing is that when we ran to the second half of the journey, the black shadow suddenly attacked.
Perhaps because of fear, this person is getting slower and slower. Bai Yue overtook him and gradually opened up the distance.
A few minutes later, the whale moo came again.
Strong winds, fine sand, shadows, tumbling.
Pretty much the same show. However, after Bai Yue got used to it, he noticed some changes.
For example, the shadow is getting bigger and bigger.
This does not mean that the other party is gradually getting bigger, but it means that... the "whale" is gradually approaching them.
Perhaps Fang Cai's concerns were not unfounded.
I'm afraid that over time, Sombra will end up close to the track. What will happen at that time, I am afraid it is unknown.
The dispute over the fifth leg has almost come to an end.
The picture on the main screen returned to the last track again, and when they saw the content on the screen, all the spectators were stunned in unison.
Wait, did they miss some really cool stuff
It was still the sand that covered the sky. Without a reference, it is almost impossible to see how long it has run.
But what happened to the whale that suddenly appeared? !
No eyes, yellow body. Like a sculpture made of fine sand, every time it rises into the air and plunges into the sand, it stirs up fascinating dust.
Now, the whale seems to be racing against the runners, clinging to the track.
- This is a virtual creature that cannot exist in reality, and only a virtual training ground can simulate it.
Bai Yue glanced sideways at the huge monster. After the opponent floated up, he dived into the ground again.
The surroundings returned to calm.
He looked back.
Sure enough, the speculation just now was correct. Now he was in fifth place, and every time the whale appeared, it gradually approached.
It was the most recent one just now.
Bai Yue is not quite sure, when the other party appears next time, will it emerge directly from under his feet.
Not impossible.
Due to the obstruction of the whale, the distance between several players was not far away. It's just because of the low visibility, and can't see the figures of the people before and after.
Bai Yue counted the time silently in his heart.
The interval is about 5 minutes. Every 5 minutes, the guy reappears.
The only problem now is that he doesn't know how far he is from the end, nor how to avoid this guy's pursuit.
The other party seemed to be clinging to him, chasing him closely.
The last 5 seconds.
5, 4, 3, 2…
1.
coming!
The whale mooed. Due to the proximity, even the audience outside the arena could clearly hear the screeching of the heart and lungs.
Some people couldn't help covering their ears because they couldn't bear the high-frequency screaming.
Bai Yue always pays attention to the changes under his feet. But the strange thing is that the terrain does not change as expected.
And this time, the whale didn't even show up.
A gust of wind blew past his ears. Even this originally frantic hurricane seems to have calmed down a lot.
Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow.
He turned his head to look, only to find that the whale had returned several kilometers away. From a distance, only a faint black spot can be seen.
Bai Yue was stunned.
Repeat cycle? If that's the case, it doesn't seem like you need to worry so much.
And soon, he realized that he was wrong. After the whale's huge head emerged from the sand sea, it suddenly accelerated and rushed over like lightning.
Wherever they passed, all of them brought a violent wave. The sea of sand rolled, and the dust splashed everywhere. It was as if the earth was about to be shaken to the point of crumbling and collapsed.
The tremor quickly spread to his feet, and Bai Yue almost became unstable.
Immediately after that, the whale that was attacking suddenly opened its mouth wide. Obviously the appearance is full of yellow sand, but the mouth is bloody. With a big mouth of blood, he went straight to Bai Yue and bit it!
Bai Yue's pupils shrank suddenly.
"what!"
The existing support club members couldn't accept it, so they covered their eyes and didn't dare to look.
The other audience members did not blink for fear of missing out on this thrilling scene.
If Diyi player was accidentally swallowed, he would definitely be eliminated immediately.
Shang Yufei stared at the screen, frowning more and more tightly.
Only a loud bang was heard, and smoke and dust were everywhere. The fine sand covered the camera, and for a while, only particles could be seen clinging to the screen.
Then one piece disappeared.
Spectators saw the whale's mouth buckled over the track. Then he squeaked and bit down hard. Then he lurked underground again.
After all, he was still worried about Bai Yue's safety. The blindfolded members of the support club spread out their fingers and secretly looked out through the gap.
I saw a big pit in the middle of the journey. And Bai Yue himself avoided in time and stood outside the track.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't just one person who was hit by this major shock, but also other players nearby.
Some were not prepared, and were directly sent flying out. Others lay on the ground and stared at the broken track in stunned eyes.
Although Bai Yue is safe and sound, his face is not very good-looking.
The whale appeared just now and destroyed the track of about fifty meters. This also means that this section of the journey can no longer identify the direction through the track.
It's only fifty meters.
If the whales show up again and again, sooner or later, the entire track will be destroyed. At that time, the contestants, including him, will be completely lost in the long sand.
There are only two ways to reach the finish line smoothly.
One, try to get as fast as you can to get to the finish line before the track is completely destroyed.
And there is another, which is to kill the whale completely.
Bai Yue turned his head, looked at the location where the whale was lurking down, and narrowed his eyes.
