Chapter 4 The Right Finish Line
The end point echoes the starting point, and there is a translucent sign as a sign.
Because it is translucent, no one noticed it just now.
The length of the finish line is the same as that of the runway. I don't know what kind of material it is, but it can be suspended high in the air. At this moment, being pointed at by the rabbit-headed man, two extremely thick black characters appeared on the card: End point.
Below the "end point", there are two arrows pointing to runway 1 on the left and runway 2 on the right.
Sports fields usually have six or eight tracks, but here there are only two.
"The total length of the track is 200 meters. You can enter the next round of competition after passing the correct end point. After three rounds of competition, the game ends." The rabbit-headed man introduced the rules.
"Are those rabbits running with us?" Shen Mo glanced at the rabbit not far away.
"Of course." The rabbit-headed man still maintained a gentle tone, "Rabbits are an important part of the tortoise and the hare. The contestants must avoid being overtaken by the rabbits."
Bai Youwei pursed her lips, and asked it cautiously: "What will happen if you are caught up?"
The bunny head was silent.
Although it didn't give a reply, somehow, Bai Youwei felt that it seemed to be smiling...
The woman huddled behind her husband asked tremblingly, "It...do they bite?"
bite?
Others complained in their hearts: look at those teeth, don't say they bite people, even if they say they eat people, it's not surprising!
"Okay, everyone, this is the end of the rules. Please follow me to the starting position. The race is about to begin." The bunny head turned around and walked towards the starting line with his top hat in one hand.
Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, hesitating.
The charred corpse on the ground was still there, exuding a faint smell of burning. The sun was shining, and the translucent finish line in the distance reflected brilliant light, as if beckoning to everyone.
Finally unable to resist the fear in their hearts, they dragged their heavy steps and followed the rabbit-headed man step by step.
Shen Mo looked down at Bai Youwei: "Carrying you should be faster than holding you, but if you are afraid of those rabbits, I can hold you."
Rabbits are obviously aggressive, and the back and legs are vulnerable places to be injured if attacked from the rear.
"Let's carry it on your back." Bai Youwei also calmed down, "Running requires not only speed, but also balance. At the same time, it requires agility to avoid rabbits. It will be troublesome for you to hold me."
The two stopped and adjusted their posture, Bai Youwei lay on Shen Mo's back.
They are at the end of the line.
"Are you afraid?" Shen Mo asked her.
"Scared." Bai Youwei replied in a muffled voice.
It is impossible for anyone not to be afraid when encountering such a thing.
She asked Shen Mo softly: "What about you, are you afraid? If those rabbits run fast..."
If he ran fast, he would undoubtedly be dragged down while carrying her on his back.
Shen Mo carried Bai Youwei's legs, and walked forward steadily, "Do you remember what the rabbit-headed man said just now? It said that there are three rounds in the competition. If the speed of the rabbit is fast, one round will end the competition. It is necessary to set up three rounds of competition."
Bai Youwei was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Shen Mo's analysis had reached this point.
She looks ahead to the starting line.
Those giant rabbits look hideous, but if you observe carefully, you will find that each rabbit's limbs are uncoordinated, lame, twitching, kicking, and a few red eyes biting their own flesh, in a state of madness. If they run, their speed may not be fast.
Bai Youwei thought for a while, and said to Shen Mo in a low voice: "The rabbit-headed man has always emphasized the need to pass the correct finish line, so if you want to win the race, you don't need to run first, but you must first run faster than the rabbit. It’s about finding the right end.”
Shen Mo heard the words: "Which side is the correct end point?"
Bai Youwei was silent.
Since there are three rounds in the race, the end point of each race must be different, maybe on the left, maybe on the right. The answer should be hinted in this 200-meter race.
Even if there is no hint, guessing has a 50% correct rate.
The problem now is that they don't know what the consequences will be if they run to the wrong end.
