Psychological Control

"Welcome to this season of The Racer. In just a few minutes, you'll be embarking on an exciting round-the-world journey! But first, please take a moment to look around at your opponents." All standing by the shore A semicircle was formed on the lawn, and the host Phil stood in the center of the semicircle and spoke.

Dillon and I stood on the left side, wearing the same standard military uniform as Dillon.This is what he asked a friend to help me buy, because the practicality of the training uniform in marching and combat is not small.Dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, and the military boots under the feet can adapt to almost all the environments we may encounter.

But the disadvantage of this standard military uniform is that it is too eye-catching.Although there is no serial number or other information on this training uniform that can 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 very curiously, and then their eyes fell on us, quite curious.The eyes of Sam and Dean seemed to be looking at their flock, and they scanned around like counting, without any wavering in their eyes.

I felt a eager gaze and turned to see the models James and Sid.Probably because they sensed the similarities between me and them, and based on the competitiveness of the modeling industry, they set the target of chasing me and Dillon.

When all the other teams saw us, there was more or less a trace of inquiry in their eyes.Because Survivor is popular, and there are not many Americans who follow reality shows who don't know the last season's Survivor champion.

"You all know there's a relay station at the end of every journey, and eight of those relay stations will eliminate players. So you need to get there as soon as possible, because if you arrive last, you will be eliminated." Phil At the beginning of each stage, such a passage will be said.But in the seemingly identical words, there is a not-so-obvious reminder.

That's the last sentence, if you arrive last, you "will" or "may" be eliminated.When Phil said the word maybe instead of will, that relay station most likely didn't eliminate the last player to arrive.But there will also be a penalty for being the last one to arrive, and that's the slowdown roadblock mission.

"But I said start, and you can run over to pick up your luggage." Phil said while pointing to the other side of the lawn, hundreds of meters away from us, where backpacks were lined up. them. "Read the clues on the backpack, then choose a vehicle to get out of here."

These backpacks are very small, not the huge half-person-height bags that many backpackers have, but just the average backpack size.On the backpack is a booklet with the yellow and black Extreme Speed ​​logo, which is the clue given to the contestants by the program group.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 keep Brian's too-pale skin from getting burned in the hot sun.In addition, there is also a pair of flip flops that I have strengthened. After accidentally getting dirty and wet shoes, relaxing your feet can also make you feel better.I chose the lightest water bottle, and Dillon and I both prepared one, which is very important to prevent dehydration.

"Is everyone ready?" Following Phil's words, everyone took the posture of getting ready to run. "Best trip, get ready...start!"

With Phil's order, everyone rushed out like a well-trained hunting dog as if they had heard the order.Dillon rushed to the front, and I followed closely only to guard against the pair of cowboys and models catching up.Don't look at the distance and time of a little race, but it is often the sum of these times, which can bring you invaluable advantages.

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 American Airlines or coat airlines to Auckland, New Zealand. The departure time of American Airlines is 9:30, and the departure time of coat is 9:50. American Airlines will arrive nearly one hour and fifteen minutes earlier than coat airlines. Oakland." I switched on the cue and read aloud as Dillon took charge of starting the car.

Our assignment is that I'll be in charge of the clues and clue cards and all the money.Every time we get a new lead, it's up to me to develop the initial plan and strategy.And the decisions in the action were made by me under Dillon's command.Overall, we treated the game like a quick march.

Things like admiring the scenery can be done during the break after the game, and during the game we will be fully immersed in the competition with others.Temporary slack is completely rejected.

"Okay, then after we arrive at the airport, I will park the car as close as possible to the departure hall. We will take the rbus to the departure hall and go straight to the check-in window of American Airlines." There is no doubt about Dillon's driving skills , he drove this small car, and after merging into the expressway, he plunged into the traffic flow at seven turns, throwing off the other competitors who followed closely behind.

"They must be planning to follow us to the airport." I said with a gloating smile, "Unfortunately, they only know that we are very familiar with the roads in Miami, but they didn't expect that your driving skills are enough to get rid of them."

Under the lens of the photographer, I have never been stingy to say a few more words, naming the role and thought of every nuance in our actions.Sometimes the audience may not see these strange things without pointing them out.So if we want to leave a strong impression on the audience, speaking out is the best way.

It was also because Dillon had thrown off most of the other participating teams before entering the high speed, and after entering the high speed, he had thrown off the only cowboy and model following us, so until we arrived at the airport and got on the rbus, we also Still no other teams are seen arriving in the parking lot.

Without a doubt, we are the No.1 team to board American Airlines.In the time before takeoff, we purchased a detailed map of Auckland, New Zealand at the airport, and used the airport network to inquire about various information about Auckland.

It is allowed to borrow other people's Internet inquiries, and I found the address of the Sky Tower, a landmark building in Auckland, based on the competition venues arranged by the general program group.And marked on the map with colored pencils how to get from the airport to the center of Auckland.Maybe we won't guess right, but if we guess right, we will save a lot of wrong roads and waste a lot of time.

"Hi, are you Brian and Dillon who participated in Survivor before?" When boarding the plane, the sibling group who also got on the first flight came up to talk.Zoe is a very cheerful-looking girl. Regardless of her shy brother's obstruction, she stepped forward and said generously.

Since they don't seem like the two-faced type, I'd love to make some extra friends on the trip.Some people may think that it is very unnecessary to establish an alliance in an objective knockout game like Speed ​​Forward.But I think if you can form an alliance with a trusted competitor, the information sharing will make it easier for us to stick to the end.

So I turned the switch on the smirk mode almost instantly, and responded with a narrowed foxy eye, "Yes. You are Zoe, and there is brother Joseph over there, right? If possible, we can form an alliance, information Sharing. After all, in the same flight, our opponents seem to be difficult to deal with."

Zooey didn't seem to have thought of such a deep place at first, and was stunned when she heard what I said.But her younger brother who looked shy had no surprise expression on his face.It seems that apart from being beautiful, the siblings are also smart people.And the British accent in their mouths easily hit my cute spot.

"As long as you are willing to put your integrity into our alliance, my sister and I are very happy to join you." Because of my eyes, I more or less noticed the cowboy brothers, model group and police couple not far behind, Joseph thought for a while and stepped forward to speak.

"Of course, it's easy to make a mistake going it alone in the racetrack. Since we've made up our minds to choose someone to ally with, I won't betray until the end." My words are very convincing, because in Among the survivors, I am also a model who has not betrayed until the end.

Zoe and Joseph quickly nodded to my proposal, and the three teams in the back, apart from the somewhat careless Sam and Dean, the models James and Sid, and the police officers Tevez and Vera Noticed the movements of our two teams.

"The kids have made an alliance with that team of survivors. Do we want to have a relationship with that pair of cowboy lesbians?" I saw the conversation between Tevez and Vera, and I knew their intentions by reading Vera's lips .

It's a pity that they didn't know that they chose a pair of opponents who were obviously much stronger than them in physical strength, and they didn't have any major shortcomings if they were careless, as an alliance to share game information.This is a very dangerous move.Although the game has just begun and it hasn't reached the point where they must be hostile, 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 Zoe and Joseph who were sleeping soundly when the plane just landed.Having just formed an alliance with them, I have no intention of leaving them here and finally letting the previous idea go to waste.

"Get up, we flew straight out after the plane door opened. We couldn't stop until we arrived at the parking lot and found the designated vehicle." Zoe and Joseph looked very different after being woken up.

Zoe still had a moisturizing mask on her face, so she sat up suddenly and tore off the mask.Joseph curled up on the chair like a hamster, stretched out and rubbed his eyes, then jumped three feet and yanked their backpacks from the luggage rack.Because as soon as they opened their eyes, they saw Dillon and me, who had already put on their coats 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, place it under the seat in front of you.Before, I used the excuse of going to the toilet, went to the back of the cabin and told the flight attendant that we would be the first batch to get off the plane and follow the first-class passengers.

As long as I can use my own language skills and appearance to gain a certain advantage in this situation, I will not let go of this opportunity.Wouldn't it be silly to sit blankly on the plane for more than ten hours without thinking about anything.
