As the ship sank, the contestants jumped from the deck into the sea like boiled dumplings. Seeing their embarrassment, Jiang Xiuming laughed happily, but quickly closed his mouth.
In the hanging basket, despite the wind and rain, Tantai actually removed a fuel bottle.
"Hey, what is he going to do? The hot air balloon is broken?" Dong Zixuan's words made the atmosphere in the Warhammer team tense again.
"It's impossible, I've checked it repeatedly." Mu Nianqi frowned slightly, but she still had some confidence. In an instant, she understood Tantai's intention, "This kid is really crazy, he actually wants to lose weight.
This will speed up the flight out of the storm range."
"What should I do if I run out of fuel?" Bai Guo was worried to death. "Even if we fly, it will take several days to get to San Francisco, right?"
"Tantai is not a reckless person. He should have calculated it. After all, the scheduled takeoff time is half a day late, and the storm seems to be a crisis. As long as he controls it well, he can use the wind to accelerate and save fuel!
"Tang Zheng noticed that Tantai had turned down the flamethrower to a very small level.
In such strong winds, speed is not an issue at all, the most important thing is to maintain balance and course.
Watching Tantai drop the fuel bottle and fall into the sea, Gu Xueqi clenched her fists, admiring her beyond measure.
The courage and self-confidence of the agents are really amazing. They leave no backup plan. How can ordinary people dare to throw away the fuel bottle? If the fuel bottle is not enough in the middle, it will be dead.
In the violent storm, the hot air balloon was like a hobbling old man, swaying constantly, and everyone's hearts were swaying along with it.
Dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder thundered.
Tantai squatted in the hanging basket, lowering his body to the ground as much as possible, not daring to raise his head, otherwise he would most likely be struck by lightning.
After throwing away the hydrogen bottle, Tantai was not satisfied, so he untied the load-bearing sandbags hanging around the hanging basket and threw away a third of it.
The hot air balloon suddenly lost weight and climbed rapidly again, much faster.
"Fortunately. This guy has a hot head. Throw away the rubber boat!" Mu Nianqi breathed a sigh of relief. Watching Tantai play the game was really exciting. If it were an ordinary person, he would have a heart attack.
"Rubber boat?" Ging Guo was puzzled.
"Well, I prepared a rubber boat for him that can be quickly inflated in case it falls prematurely. He can save himself without waiting to die at sea."
Mu Nianqi was too lazy to explain too much. It was not just a kayak, a compass, a map, a signal flame, an unlimited power distress signal transmitter, a small propeller and a pair of plastic oars. In addition to food, she prepared all the necessities for the agents.
thing.
"It even has a propeller. With such a small amount of diesel, I can run up to 30 kilometers and it's not much faster than I can swim." Tantai cut the rope tied to the oil drum with a bayonet and dropped the five-liter diesel drum from the hot air balloon.
There is no need to keep the propeller. Carrying it will waste a lot of fuel. It is not cost-effective.
"Ignorance!" Mu Nianqi pursed her lips as she watched Tantai throw away the things she prepared one by one. But she also knew that if she were in Tantai's position, she would never be able to do so.
The clear blue sky is filled with white clouds like cotton candy. Looking from a distance, it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Taking advantage of the warm monsoon winds in the Pacific Ocean, the hot air balloon flies rapidly.
It took twenty-eight hours before the American continent came into view.
Tantai had experience in operating hot air balloons, coupled with a compass, a detailed map of the United States, and agents adjusting the route, he easily found San Francisco.
When the hot air balloon appeared over this city, it attracted countless attention. In this era without airplanes, hot air balloons were high-tech, and the act of floating from the Pacific Ocean was a feat.
Some reporters have already taken old cameras and begun to trace the location of Tantai, hoping to obtain first-hand information.
"The fifth leg of the Warhammer team is about to end, please be ready for the sixth leg."
The Trojan horse announcement suddenly resounded in the hall, causing the noisy sound to disappear immediately, and everyone's eyes turned over.
Although they had already guessed that they would definitely send their strongest people to run for the sixth leg, they didn't see Tang Zheng get up, so those teams that were lagging behind were still taking chances.
Tang Zheng would not let these people get their wish, so he raised his right hand.
"If only this guy died in a rally!"
"It's over, I definitely won't be able to catch up now!"
"Now we have a good show. Let's see how far he can catch up. Despite the hot air balloon tactics, the first group still left them behind for about a week's journey."
At this moment, everyone was cursing Tang Zheng, wishing that he would just hang up in the game.
"Be careful!" Several women stood up and warned Tang Zheng with concerns on their faces.
Pang Meiqin was bolder and hugged Tang Zheng directly and kissed him. Li Xinlan hesitated and kissed him too. Tao Ran was shy and didn't even say a word.
"Wait for my good news!" As a group leader, you should give your group members confidence.
Tang Zheng entered the game and waited for less than a minute when he saw Tantai rushing over at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
"What a job!" Tang Zheng punched the agent in the chest.
"It's up to you!" Tantai handed the backpack to Tang Zheng, took off the weapon from his belt, and handed it to him. He quickly described the plan he had been thinking about for the past few days, but before he could finish speaking, he teleported
arrival.
“Teams please note that in order to increase the fun of the game, in the sixth station, the coordinates of each contestant will be displayed on the watch.”
"What? There's no secret at all, it's simply exposing them to danger!" someone shouted immediately.
"Haha, it's actually not bad. Most of the group leaders who have hatred will definitely fight to death!" There are also many who are gloating about the misfortune. These survivors fanatically believe that their group leader can crush all enemies.
"Almost all the group leaders will participate in the last stop. Don't you want the game to be more popular?" Trojan won't listen to any arguments at all.
"Don't worry, I won't let you fight in vain. Every contestant in the sixth station will have his or her worth marked. If you kill them, the corresponding number of days will be shortened."
The announcement of this rule immediately caused the hall to explode. If just now we said that everyone was prepared to get out of the way after encountering them, then this time, it can be regarded as a complete fight to the death.
The laggards, who originally thought they would definitely lose, immediately cheered up when they heard this rule, and they all looked forward to running the fifth leg to the finish line.
"Participants, please note that the sixth stop is the free route, and the end point is London, England. Please arrive within a total of eighty days, otherwise you will be punished by being wiped out!"
Tang Zheng looked at the map, asked passers-by for the location of the train station, and hurried there. On the way, he robbed a white man holding a pipe and got a suit and several hundred dollars.
Although it is said to be a free route, Tang Zheng has already arrived in San Francisco. Basically, Tang Zheng has no choice. The shortest straight line is between the two points. He has to cross the entire United States, reach New York, and then take a boat to London.
"Is it true that there is no direct train to New York?" Although he was prepared, Tang Zheng was still disappointed when he heard the employee's answer.
"Didn't I tell you?" The employees were obviously racist, and coupled with the Chinese Exclusion Act of this period, he looked at Tang Zheng and felt very unhappy.
"The most optimal journey is to go to Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, first, and then reverse the train." Tang Zheng flipped through the timetable he bought and asked the employee, "Is this train on time?"
The employees were absent-minded and ignored Tang Zheng completely.
Tang Zheng was no longer the kind-hearted young man he used to be. He grabbed the employee's hair and slammed it on the desk. There was a loud bang, which attracted the attention of passing passengers.
"Call the police!" Another employee was startled and shouted, asking his colleagues to call the police station.
"This is a private matter. I don't think we need to alert the police, right?" Tang Zheng picked up the employee's head.
"Bah!" the employee spat at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng dodged and smashed his forehead against the table with all his strength.
Fortunately the table is made of wood, otherwise this bastard's head would have turned into a rotten watermelon.
"Why is he so reckless?" Jiang Xiuming was puzzled.
"Uncle is so domineering!" Lu Fan's two big eyes sparkled with little stars of admiration.
"You are all fearless, and if you still have to be bullied by NPCs, you might as well die!" Chu Baichuan believed that revenge must be retaliated.
"The train to Salt Lake City doesn't leave until two o'clock in the afternoon, and I still have four hours. How can I waste time." Tang Zheng was not reckless. If he only had one hour, he could wait, and he could also take the opportunity to prepare some work.
To serve the rest of the journey, four hours is too long.
After confirming that there was no place for hot air ballooning in San Francisco, Tang Zheng stopped a carriage.
"Go to the nearest racecourse!"
At the racecourse on the outskirts of the city, the fat boss looked at Tang Zheng with disdain, but after hearing his words, his attitude changed.
"You want all these horses? Are you kidding? It will cost more than 30,000 US dollars. Do you have it?" The boss looked at Tang Zheng with bulging eyes and disbelief on his face. Although this Chinese man spoke good English, he still couldn't look at it no matter what.
Not like a rich man.
"I don't have money, but I have this!" Tang Zheng took out his pistol and pressed it against the boss's waist.
"Don't kill me!" The boss was very understanding and immediately raised his hands, "I'll give you all the horses!"
"Very good, let your employees tie up these horses with reins!" Tang Zheng ordered. Cars would not become popular until after World War I. Even in the United States, horse-drawn carriages are still the main means of transportation. "By the way, don't
Prepare ten thousand dollars, otherwise your life will be over!"
Under the threat of death, the boss's employees quickly prepared everything Tang Zheng needed.
"Then, generous boss, see you later!" Tang Zheng took the leather bag containing the money and hung it on the horse. Then he took off his hat, bowed to say hello, and then clamped his legs on the horse's belly, "
shelf!"
Eighteen strong horses galloped wildly, sending up countless clouds of smoke and dust on the dirt road.
"Go to Sheriff John, I want that young man to die!" The boss looked at his property in the distance and yelled angrily. As for the fact that he was so scared that he wet his pants, he couldn't care anymore. He wanted to make a call and hire some cowboys.
