"Good morning everyone, look at the opponents around you, after last night's tribal meeting, we only have three people left. Eighteen people, 31 days of wild survival, today we will finally eliminate one contestant! The remaining two members will have their final tribal meeting tomorrow for a jury trial and a vote." Jeff appeared before us very early in the morning.
Maybe God was helping, and we stood on the coast under a sunny blue sky and white clouds, preparing for one last individual immunity game. Judging by the location and the buoys floating on the sea, this time again it was a water-related challenge. But I guess it won't be swimming anymore.
I tilted my head and glanced at Rhett, who was standing on my left. Compared to his usual sullen appearance, he seemed to be in a much better mood. Apparently he knew that after this match, one more person would be eliminated from the tribal meeting tonight, and the whole Survivor shooting would end tomorrow.
The final Survivor rollout will start a month after the Survivor broadcast, and it will be broadcast live. That is to say, next month, he can return to his normal life of solving crimes with his brain, eating and sleeping, and no longer surrounded by strangers and cameras.
As for Dillon, I glanced to the left, his eyes were restrained and serious, as if he was preparing to carry out some important task. This game is also a game that he can only win and cannot lose, otherwise as long as he loses the last personal immunity, his previous efforts will be forfeited.
"Brian, Dillon, Rhett, now you can turn around and look at the game facilities in the sea behind you." Jeff began to explain the content of this game to us. "That's three water cages."
"Of course, the content of the game is not so simple, just put you in a water cage and see how you can get out of it. At the beginning of the game, you will be locked in a cage, and at this time, these cages with half of the water will follow. Time passes and sinks, you have to complete the tasks we set for you in the cage before the cage is completely sunk and you can't hold your breath, and then you can get out of trouble."
"The task in the cage, as it says on treemail, will be about memory." Jeff explained the task, and Red and I had guessed through treemail.
The mail is a match reminder that is placed in a letterbox in a tree near the tribe the day before each Immunity Challenge begins. There have been before, but doing more is just to allow us to do some mental preparations before the game. But this time treemail revealed a lot of information, giving us enough time to prepare in advance.
Contents of memory. Participants are required to have a heavy task in this immunity competition, recall the details of each item in the previous competition, and then complete the correct answer. This type of mission doesn't always appear in a survivor's personal immunity match, let alone the last, most important match.
But I still prepared, a "luxury" that each contestant is allowed to carry. The reason why I choose to carry a notebook and a pen, in addition to the need to communicate with Reid, is to record the various events in the competition. detail! Not just the content of the game in the challenge, but also the analysis of the clan situation.
A good memory is not as good as a bad writing, and this sentence is not wrong in any case. What is recorded in writing will be presented to you more directly and clearly when you review it. And the memory of the human brain, except for geniuses like Reid, few people can classify and memorize things in a very orderly manner.
"Find the correct answer through memory, then in each question box at the top of the cage, find the key that you think represents the correct answer, dive into the water and find the correct box at the bottom of the cage to open. You have to answer ten questions in total, don't look at it There are very few questions, but there are five options for each question.”
"Even if you can answer every question very quickly, usually by the time you finish the sixth question, the whole cage that traps you will be completely submerged in the water." Jeff's expression was very serious, he said a word. Statement in one sentence. Obviously this time the game has certain dangers. If a contestant tries too hard, it is possible to suffocate and shock in the water.
"So we also set up an oxygen tank at the top of the cage. When you feel that you can't hold your breath, you can float up to breathe. Of course, every time you float up, it takes time. The three cages are the same size, and they are also deep and wide. , the round trip time gives the other two competitors a chance to outpace your schedule.”
"The key will only open the box if you answer the correct question. If you get the wrong answer, the contestant will need to float back to the top of the cage and answer the question again. When all ten boxes are opened, you will have a total of twenty pieces of the puzzle. Dive into the water and at the bottom of the cage there is a puzzle board that holds the puzzle and complete the puzzle on it.”
"The first person to complete the puzzle will be given four keys to open the exit at the bottom of the cage. You can't mix each key, find the correct lock to open the exit at the bottom of the cage. Swim out without stopping. Return to the shore. When you escaped from the cage, you must have been exhausted. Therefore, the contestant who finally won the competition must be the one with the strongest perseverance, intelligence, and physical strength. If you don’t remember the content of the ten questions, you will be lucky. Maybe it will help you."
The content of the game was very complicated, but because I was almost completely absorbed in it, every thing Jeff said was very clearly remembered in my mind. Maybe my long-term memory isn't as good as Rhett's, but my short-term memory won't hold me back.
"If you understand the content of the game, now I will suggest that you do some warm-up exercises properly before the game starts." Jeff looked at the three of us and finally said.
…
"I count to three and the game begins. One..."
Me, Rhett and Dillon, are in separate cages at this time. There are a full six camera bodies wearing diving equipment, floating outside the cage to follow. The cage is also filled with stationary cameras all over the place.
The cages weren't too far apart, and the clear water didn't prevent me from seeing Dillon and Rhett around. But there is a certain distance, so that the people in the cage can't see the opponent's every move.
Although the cage was only half silent in the water at this time, people could not find a foothold. The cage has a height of five meters and a cross-section of three square meters. The questions we need to answer are engraved on the lid of the wooden box at the top of the cage that holds the key to the underwater box. The current cage is filled with water not much or not, exactly half of it. The water depth of 2.5 meters and the distance of the water surface of 2.5 meters from the top of the cage.
It can be said that if we don't find another way, we will have nothing to do for a short time before the game. Competitors are required to float in the center of the cage by themselves before the start of the competition, and can only approach the cage railings after the start of the competition.
"two…"
I turned my head and looked at Dillon's voice. He was seriously looking at the railings of the cage. Obviously, he didn't intend to waste the first half of the time and let the cage sink. The contestants could reach the wooden box even if they were floating in the water. Does he want to climb to the top of the cage by stepping on the railing? This is a good way.
I turned around and looked at the railings of my cage. Sure enough, the horizontal railings just formed a "ladder" for people to step on.
And what about Reid? The first time I turned to look, I saw him sinking his head into the water with a puff, and looked down. Obviously he felt that what Jeff said just now was not intuitive, and wanted to confirm the situation at the bottom of the cage first.
"three!!!"
The splash of "crashing" sounded at the same time as Jeff shouted to three. Dillon and I started at about the same time, and began to paddle in the same freestyle position, trying to lean against the railing on the side of the cage. It's just that he was swimming forward. When Jeff counted to two, I was already leaning back, and the game started to turn and swim backwards.
To the back is the direction of the coast, because Jeff is facing the coast, so we were all facing the coast before. And I swam back, which is also the direction the waves pushed. With the thrust of the water, I hit the railing less than a second before Dillon.
Then I started to climb up on my hands and feet, and Dillon quickly came back after a short while on the climb. Rhett was a lot slower than our neat moves, because at first he didn't think that he would be afraid of the cage reaching the wooden box at the top of the cage. Reid, who doesn't like sports, doesn't care about personal immunity, so he hesitated for a while before learning how to swim to the cage and climb the cage.
As we climbed the cage, the three cranes hanging three large cages were also operated by the program team, slowly lowering the boom, and the cage was gradually sinking.
arrive! I look at the question on the first wooden box on the left.
In an immunity contest, which of the following answers is the correct answer to the puzzle used. With the five options listed below, it's almost impossible to see the difference in these patterns if you're not paying attention.
Find the difference and find the correct answer through image memory.
Damn, I ran into a problem with the first question... You must know that my image memory is not very good, and I usually even have mild face blindness. I've never seen it, let alone my notes have never drawn a jigsaw image, so this again uses long-term memory.
Fortunately, Dillon also got stuck in the first wooden box on the other side when I was seriously thinking about it and looking at the options.
Thinking back intently, knowing that Rhett also staggered to the top of his cage, I made the next decision and took the key to the third option. Then I started to look at the question on the right. When I was reading the question, Rhett, who had just climbed to the top of the cage, glanced at the question and chose a key.
Rhett caught up with me, and Dillon finally made his decision at this point.
The second question is a text question, and I have the game details recorded in my notebook! In a competition, what color represents Selena. I quickly chose the second key.
…
Just as Rhett and I were solving problem after problem, Dillon dived into the water with the four keys he already had. The cage is now submerged to the point where we can reach the cage even if we float.
I have five keys in my hand and Rhett has six. I have confidence in the correctness of my answer and his, and obviously our plan is the same, just answer the ten questions in one go, then dive into the water and slowly unlock the lock with the key in hand.
Dillon was probably not sure about his answer, so in order not to mix up too many keys, he went down and tried to unlock it.
When I got the seven keys, Jeff suddenly said, "Dillon dived with four keys to represent his chosen answer, and he opened two locks! And Brian and Rhett were clearly unsure of their own answers. Very confident, still solving problems all the time, obviously wanting to maintain physical strength, and finally dive in and unlock all the locks in one breath!"
…
Nine keys! One last question left! I turned to look at the last unopened wooden box. At this time, I had key rings on all nine fingers. This helps me figure out which key corresponds to which question.
"Red got his last key! He's trying to dive!" Jeff's live commentary came just in time, "Unlike Brian's way of sorting keys, Rhett holds all keys in one hand. , with the other hand to help the paddling dive to the bottom. Could it be possible that all his keys are the correct answers?"
"On the other side, Dillon re-dives with three keys, and by this time he has opened four chests! In fact, he is in the lead, and Brian is solving his last problem...he has the keys!"
As Jeff mentioned my name, I decided on the answer to the last question. Putting the key ring of the last key into the pinky finger of my right hand, I pushed the water back with both hands, and put my feet on the edge of the cage for a relay, and the fish jumped into the water. Compared with Rhett's need to keep his hands in the water, my hands were occupied by the key, but like a fish, I still dived smoothly.
After diving into the water, the underwater scenery was clearly presented in front of me.
