"Everyone is welcome to this season's blazing fast. In a few minutes, you'll be embarking on an intense and exciting trip around the world! But first, please take some time to look around at your opponents." All standing by the coast The lawn formed a semicircle, and the host Phil stood in the center of the semicircle and said.
Dillon and I were standing to the left, wearing the same uniform as Dillon. He asked a friend to buy this for me, because the practicality of training uniforms in marching operations is not small. Dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, and the military boots underfoot can adapt to almost any environment we may encounter.
But the downside of this standard military uniform is that it is too conspicuous. Although there is no designation or anything else on this training uniform to indicate that it is an orthodox military uniform, a person wearing a military uniform will always give others a feeling that this person's physical strength and strength will be very strong.
After listening to Phil's words, siblings Zoe and Joseph looked around curiously, and then their eyes fell on us, quite curious. Sam and Dean looked like they were looking at their flock, swept the points like a circle, and there was no wavering in their eyes.
I felt an eager look, and when I turned my head, I saw the pair of models James and Sid. It is estimated that they felt the similar attributes between me and them. Based on the competitiveness in the modeling industry, they set the goal of chasing on me and Dillon.
All the other squads saw us with more or less inquiring in their eyes. Because Survivor is on fire, and there aren't many Americans who follow reality shows who don't know the winner of last season's Survivor title.
"You all know there's a relay at the end of every journey, and eight of those relays will knock out players. So you need to get there as quickly as possible because if you're the last one, you'll be knocked out." Phil At the beginning of each stage, I will say such a paragraph. But in the seemingly identical words, there is a not-so-obvious hint.
That's the last sentence, if you are the last to arrive, you "will" or "may" be eliminated. When Phil uttered the word possible instead of will, there was a high chance that the relay station would not have eliminated the last player to arrive. But the last one to arrive will also have a penalty, which is the slowdown roadblock mission.
"But I said start, you can run over and pick up your luggage." Phil pointed to the other side of the lawn as he spoke, a few hundred meters away from us, the backpacks lined up in a row them. "Read the clues on the backpack and choose a car to get out of here."
These backpacks are small, not the huge half-height bags of many backpackers, but just the average backpack size. There is a booklet with a yellow and black speed forward sign on the backpack, which is the clue given to the contestants by the program team. Most of the items in each backpack are designated items, but this does not mean that players can carry some personal items by themselves.
I brought a bottle of sunscreen to prevent Brian's overly pale skin from getting sunburned in the scorching sun. In addition, there is a pair of flip-flops that have been reinforced by myself. After accidentally getting your shoes dirty, relaxing your feet can also make you feel better. Dillon and I have one of the lightest water bottles ever, which is important to prevent dehydration.
"Are you all ready?" Following Phil's words, everyone made a ready-to-run posture. "Safe journey, get ready... start!"
With Phil's order, everyone rushed out like a well-trained hound as if they had heard the order. Dillon was at the front, and I followed just in case the cowboy and the model caught up. Don't look at the distance and time of a little race, but it is often the sum of these times that can give you an invaluable advantage.
The first to get the backpack, the first to rush to the parking lot. We chose the car closest to the exit, because after choosing the car, you have to worry about whether the car in front will block your way out.
"Take an American or coat flight to Auckland, New Zealand. American's departure time is 9:30, coat's departure time is 9:50. American will arrive almost an hour and 15 minutes earlier than coat. Oakland." I read it aloud while Dillon was in charge of starting the car.
Our allocation is such that I will be responsible for keeping the clues and clue cards and all the money. Every time we take a new lead, it's up to me to make the initial plan and strategy. And the decisions on the move were made by me at Dillon's command. Overall, we treated the game as a quick marching exercise.
Admiring the scenery can be done during the break after the game, and during the game we are fully involved in the competition with others. Momentary laxity is completely rejected.
"Okay, then after we go to the airport, I will park the car as close as possible to the departure hall. We take the rbus to the departure hall and go straight to the check-in window of American Airlines." Dillon's driving skills are not questioned at all. , He drove this small car, and after merging into the highway, he plunged into the traffic flow at all times, throwing off the other competitors who followed closely behind.
"They must be planning to follow us to the airport," I said with a schadenfreude smile. "Unfortunately, they only know that we are very familiar with the roads of Miami, but they didn't expect your driving skills to be enough to get rid of them."
Under the lens of the follow-up photographer, I never hesitate to say a few more words, naming the role and idea of every nuance in our actions. Sometimes the audience may not see these oddities without pointing it out. So if we want to leave a strong impression on the audience, speaking out is the best way.
It's also because Dillon got rid of most of the other teams before entering the expressway, and after entering the expressway, he got rid of the only two cowboys and models who were following us, so when we arrived at the airport and got on the rbus, we didn't. Still no other squads are seen arriving in the parking lot.
Without a doubt, we were the first team to board American Airlines. Before taking off, we purchased a detailed map of Auckland, New Zealand at the airport, and used the airport network to check various information about Auckland.
Borrowing other people's Internet query is allowed, and I found the address of Auckland's landmark Sky Tower according to the competition location arranged by the general program team. And marked with a marker on the map how to get from the airport to Auckland city centre. Maybe we won't guess right, but if we guess right, we'll save a lot of wrongdoing and waste a lot of time.
"Hey, are you Brian and Dillon who participated in Survivor before?" When boarding the plane, the siblings who were also on the first flight stepped up to talk. Zooey was a cheerful-looking girl, and despite her shy brother's obstruction, she stepped forward generously and said.
Since they don't seem like the two-faced type, I'd love to make some more friends on the road. Some people may think that building an alliance in an objective knockout game like speeding forward is a very unnecessary act. But I think if you can form an alliance with a trusted competitor, sharing information will make it easier for us to stick to the end.
So I flipped the switch to smirk mode almost instantly, smiled and responded with fox eyes, "Yes. You are Zoe, right there is brother Joseph? We can form an alliance if we can, information. Shared. After all, on the same flight, our opponents don't look like they can handle it."
Zooey didn't seem to have thought of such a deep place at first, and was stunned when she heard what I said. On the other hand, her shy-looking brother had no unexpected expression on his face. It seems that in addition to being beautiful, this pair of siblings are also smart people. And the British accent in their mouths easily hit my cute point.
"As long as you are willing to put your integrity into our alliance relationship, my sister and I are very happy to join you." Because of my eyes, I more or less noticed the cowboy brothers, the model group and the police couple who were photographed not far behind, Joseph thought about it, walked up and said.
"Of course, it's very easy to go wrong by going it alone. Now that we've made up our minds about choosing someone to ally with, I won't betray until the end." Among the survivors, I am the model who never betrayed until the end.
Zoe and Joseph quickly nodded to my proposal, and the three squads in the back were all but the somewhat careless Sam and Dean, the models James and Sid, and the policemen Tevez and Vera. I noticed the movements of our two teams.
"The kids are allied with that group of survivors. Shall we have a relationship with that pair of cowboys?" I saw the conversation between Tevez and Vera, and I knew their plans by reading Vera's lips. .
It's a pity that they didn't know that they chose a pair of opponents whose physical strength was much higher than them, and who were careless and didn't have much shortcomings, as their allies to share game information. This is a very dangerous move. Although the game has just started, and the time for certain hostility has not yet arrived, finding an opponent to be an alliance is not as simple as finding a teammate.
After more than ten hours of flight, we woke up Zoey and Joseph, who were sleeping very soundly, just as the plane landed. Having just formed an alliance with them, I have no idea of leaving them here and finally letting my previous ideas go to waste.
"We got up, we ran out after the plane door opened. We couldn't stop until we arrived at the parking lot and found the designated vehicle." Zooey and Joseph looked very different when they were woken up.
With the moisturizing mask still on her face, Zooey suddenly sat up and tore off the mask. Joseph curled up in his chair like a hamster, rubbed his eyes, and jumped three feet up to grab the two of them's backpacks from the luggage rack. Because they saw me and Dillon as soon as they opened their eyes, they had already put on their jackets and had their backpacks in their hands.
Because the backpacks are not big, we didn't actually put them on the luggage rack in the first place. Instead, it is placed under the seat in front. Before, I used the excuse of going to the toilet to go to the back of the cabin and told the flight attendant that we would be the first to get off the plane and follow the passengers in the first class.
As long as I can use my own language skills and appearance to gain a certain advantage in this situation, I will not miss this opportunity. Wouldn't it be stupid to sit on a plane for ten hours without thinking about anything
