Chapter 89 - ranking
We waited until the big tiger and the little tiger from the third group arrived, and the talents from the second group did not delay any longer. They chose three treasure chests and obtained ten low-level energy crystals, a multifunctional sun hat and a ship that were also preserved. Dinghy model in glass ball.
However, neither the energy crystallization nor the boat seems to be as good as the one drawn by Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. In addition to congratulations from the host, he expressed his regrets while watching the fun. Immediately, the second group of people who arrived looked at Xia Ruize. The eyes of Cheng Huaiqian were wrong.
Dahu and Xiaohu also realized from the host’s reminder that the draw is not the final result, so when the host shifted the topic to them, they rowed around the island and quickly reported the two selected ones. The treasure box number and urge the host to open it together.
“The two tourists are really impatient, okay, let’s open the treasure chests No. 8 and No. 12 together and see what’s inside?” After seeing the contents of the treasure box, the host happily introduced: “Oh, not bad. Oh, the SX-type double boat known for its speed, and a one-night treasure ship rest coupon, congratulations!”
Big Tiger and Little Tiger listened casually, and couldn’t tell which one had any effect, but three rewards were always better than two, so they rowed the wooden paddle harder, trying to overtake the second group of people in front.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian listened to a lot of information, no longer delay, and quickly paddled. They have to fight for the first to return to the starting point, otherwise the reward they draw might be someone else’s.
The return journey is downstream. Even if the wooden oars are not rowed, the wooden boat will flow downstream along the current, not to mention that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian are rowing vigorously and continuously, and a small wooden board is swept up.
The more troublesome thing I encountered during the return trip was actually the congestion of the waterways.
It was the same waterway that came and went, and it was only more than two meters wide, and it was also crooked. Along the way, they met more and more people moving towards the island. At first, they met two people with one plank, and later encountered many people with one plank.
Obviously, in order to save the time spent practicing two people climbing the plank together, the drowning man who chose to go alone on the road regretted it when he rowed to the point of exhaustion.
In groups of two, you can take turns rowing, and you can take a break when you are tired. But a person can go on the road with one plank. When he is tired, he can only try his best to rely on the water banks on both sides to keep himself from being washed back by the current.
But the shores on both sides were actually unstressed meadows, which were very unreliable, and the single players were frightened.
When there are more people, a waterway of more than two meters wide is not enough. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian need to instruct the people on the opposite side to change their positions from time to time, so that the two sides can pass by.
After hearing the situation at the end of this waterway from Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, many people were willing to cooperate to make way, also to get to the end faster.
It took nearly two hours to come and less than an hour to go back. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian’s planks were the first to cross the starting line where the city and the dense forest meet.
Then they noticed that four platforms were raised in the center of the ramp on the right, and the treasure chests they had drawn were placed on them.
There was no water on the ramp at this time, and the traces that had been washed by the water were also dried and evaporated by the sun, leaving only empty stalls, everything seemed normal and strange.
“The reward is on the slope, can we go ashore?”
Xia Ruize was very happy. Although it was cool to soak in water in hot weather, it was not so refreshing to soak in water all the time.
The two rowed to the shore and tried to climb the east-west ramp. Sure enough, they successfully stood on the ground.
Vigorously kicking, kicking, stomping and stomping, the long legs that had been suffocating for a long time finally relaxed, and the two dragged the planks and wooden oars out of the water and carried them up the slope.
In the existing pool of the original city road outside the starting line, there are still many tourists who fell into the water holding street lamp poles and soaked in the water. They were not willing to scratch any broken boards, and simply stayed in place.
The weird thing they’ve found is that they can’t climb to the ground. Even though there was no water on the ramp, there seemed to be some barrier preventing them from going ashore, and they couldn’t get up. So these drowning people can only pass the time by chatting while holding the street light pole.
When Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian first appeared, they thought they were two people who gave up rowing.
It wasn’t until Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian climbed ashore that those drowning people who had nothing to do were surprised and swam to the ramp, thinking they could go ashore.
At this time, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had already taken their prizes from the small platform. Not surprisingly, the Baibao backpack is a space item. After opening the backpack, a space fold was made inside. There is one cubic meter of storage space.
Ten advanced energy crystals and five lunch boxes were put in first.
Then Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian tried to open the glass cover of the boat model. As soon as the model left the glass cover, it immediately expanded and turned into a small boat that was more than two meters long and one meter wide. It looked more advanced than a wooden boat. how much.
In addition, there are also two oars that have also been enlarged. The reason why they look stick-shaped is because this is a multi-purpose oar, which is suitable for various waterways.
When the two were studying the newly acquired boat, they were still soaked in the water below, and the drowning person who tried to get ashore again and couldn’t shouted for help to the two.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian put the gem boat into the glass cover again, and then put them into the backpack. At the same time, they put the wooden board and the wooden oar into the backpack and walked down.
“Little brother, how did you climb up? Why can’t we climb up?”
“Yes, yes, we also want to climb up, and the skin is wrinkled in the water!”
“Little brother, what did you have in your hands just now? Where did it come from?”
…
More than ten people who swam over saw Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian approaching, and a lot of questions were immediately thrown over.
“We paddled the board to the end of the waterway, and then paddled back again. Maybe this is the reason. In short, we were able to go ashore.”
Xia Ruize ignored the other questions and only said a guess of his own.
When the others heard that they had to row in the waterway before they could go ashore, they immediately asked anxiously:
“How long does it take to come and go like this?”
This question really asked the two of them. They remembered that when they were approaching the starting line for more than ten minutes, they encountered a person who had been rowing in the opposite direction for an hour. .
“Four or five hours.”
Xia Ruize replied in an uncertain tone.
It was already one o’clock in the afternoon, and even if they set off now, they would not be able to return until the evening. Many drowning people counted the time and their faces became bitter.
As soon as Xia Ruize’s answer spread, those who fell into the water outside the starting line were very distressed. Some people took wooden oars out of the water and tried to paddle. Some people didn’t believe Xia Ruize’s words and complained about staying. in place.
Until the second and third groups came back one after another and landed successfully, the lucky drowning finally reluctantly rowed over the starting line and entered the waterway.
But these have nothing to do with Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. The two answered the question and inquired about the situation of Zhuoyuan City quietly, then left the water and climbed the ramp to the top.
After walking through the flat road at the top of the ramp, they looked to the other side of the ramp. The water flow came from that direction at the earliest time. At this time, there was only a road and a quiet building left under the slope, and there was no one. There is no water shadow.
However, when the two tried to continue walking, they found that they were just wasting their efforts in place, as if there was an inexplicable barrier preventing them from continuing to move forward, so that they could see but couldn’t get close.
Thinking of the drowning person who couldn’t climb ashore after soaking in the water before, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian didn’t force it and had to go back.
The two found a hotel in Banpo, climbed to the top floor through the elevator that was still running, sat on the edge of the building, took out the lunch box they had obtained earlier, and while they ate, looked at the starting point of the water flow below, and paid attention to the follow-up. condition.
Over time, more and more people returned, but only the first ten groups of tourists were rewarded.
The tenth group of tourists does not seem to be the tenth group who arrived on the island, but they struggled to surpass the previous group of tourists on the way back and were lucky to get the last gift.
Of course, the person who opened the treasure chest, who arrived shortly after, was not reconciled, and the two groups of four fought on the ramp. At that time, there were not many people who could go ashore, and they were scattered everywhere. It took a long time for someone to finally come to persuade them to fight.
Facts are like Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian’s guess, only those who have fully rowed the waterway can go ashore. Other than that, they are all trapped in the water and cannot escape.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian felt that the lunch box in their hands was very delicious. After eating, they felt warm all over, and the fatigue of rowing the boat all morning was gone. More importantly, the amount of food in the small box lunch was unexpectedly sufficient, and the two of them were full.
The two just sat on the roof and observed, watching those who had successfully landed wandering around, and finally found that there seemed to be only two roads left in Zhuoyuan City, no, it should be exactly two “half roads”.
The original east-west ramp is only left on the side close to the water, and the other side can only be seen and cannot be approached.
The original long north-south main road only has a small section below the ramp, and this small section still has an edge. One side is a strange forest waterway, and the other side is blocked by an inexplicable barrier after a certain distance and continues to move forward.
There are many people and great strength, and those who go ashore quickly explore it. After leaving the water, there is only one **** left in their range of activities.
So many people set their sights on the hotel where Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were, and entered the hotel one after another to try to find a suitable room to rest.
But this hotel is not a good place to live. Without the front desk, no one helped them open the room. Some people tried to forcibly destroy the door of the room, but they all ended in failure. In the end, it was found that only the corridor of the hotel could stay.
Many people didn’t care so much, they sat on the carpet in the corridor and rested greedily.
