Chapter 1227： Stage. Two Monument Valley

Popular recommendation:

The total length of the stage.1 stage is 15,000 kilometers, and the destination is a Catholic church in the east.

In the eyes of all the testers who have obtained the 'qualification', there is a golden light rising into the sky at the location of the end point, guiding them like a huge road sign, even if it is clearly visible from hundreds of kilometers away.

The Phoenix Apostle, who rushed out of the crowd with Colossus, was the first to gain the greatest advantage.

However, there are also a large number of people who are watching the jokes and scrutinizing them who rushed out first.

"We really don't have to catch up? Tony."

Thor frowned and said solemnly: "If they are pulled too far away, even if I do my best, it will be difficult to catch up with them. Are you planning to give up the 'time bonus' of the first stage? ?"

Looking at it getting farther and farther, at least being pulled away by a distance of nearly a thousand meters, even if he was a little anxious.

The Asgardian's super physique gave him an absolute advantage in this competition. Even in the 6,000-kilometer stage, even if he didn't use any abilities, he could still persevere.

But for human beings on Earth, even mutants, it is difficult to stick to such a long track.

In particular, it is strictly forbidden to use the ability to rush the road during the trial. This completely eliminates the little tricks of the Phoenix Apostle, which means that at most physical strength can be restored, but if the distance is too long, he may not have the confidence to catch up. .

"Of course we won't give up the 'time bonus', Sol."

Iron Man raised his hand and pressed Saul's shoulder, forcing the latter to give up the acceleration to catch up, and then said meaningfully to him: "What do you think is the most important thing in the super-long track with a total length of 6,000 kilometers?"

"Physical strength? Willpower?"

Thor was a little unclear, so he just answered two factors intuitively, which he thought were more important.

In his mind, being able to run the 6,000-kilometer track must be the most important factor. Willpower and physical strength are the most important. The former is a psychological factor, and the latter is a physical factor. The two can be said to be indispensable.

"Congratulations, wrong answer."

Iron Man pointed to his brain and said calmly: "The correct answer is... a reasonable route planning, and how to allocate the physical strength and speed used in each stage, and even each meter."

Thor: "...I don't understand."

"Then I'll make it simpler. You should have watched the marathon." Iron Man said: "The person who is ahead at the beginning may not necessarily win the final victory. The winner belongs only to those who are prepared."

"What have you prepared?" Thor asked.

"According to Wednesday's calculations, I had already made the perfect plan."

Iron Man smiled mysteriously, but didn't reveal it: "Don't worry, just follow my plan in real time, victory will definitely belong to us, just let them lead for a while."

"Hope you're not talking big, Tony."

Seeing this, Thor had to suppress his impatience and stay in the crowd quietly.

"Tony is right, Sol." Captain America ran up from the side, breathing evenly, and said, "And running with the crowd can effectively disperse wind resistance and let us save energy, which is very important."

"Don't take me for an idiot, of course I know that!"

Thor glared at him angrily and scolded: "Just watching helplessly like this, those **** are getting farther and farther away, obviously they can catch up, but they can only stay here, I really can't swallow this breath! "

"Be patient for a while, Sol."

Mr. Fantastic Reid said: "In our current status, if we rush out too early, we will easily be targeted by the mutant group, so just like Tony said, after the second stage, we will play. when."

"That's right, the time bonus for the first stage... just give them to them."

Iron Man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the data stream flashed on the lenses, and the corners of his lips curved upwards: "Sol, you must understand that it is not just us who regard the Phoenix Apostles as enemies. "

Hearing this, Lei Shen was slightly startled, and then he felt malicious eyes around him, as if he understood his plan.

Obviously, in the face of the almighty wishing opportunity, even the former compatriots may not really obey the Phoenix Apostle. He has seen several mutants, showing a lot of killing intent to the four figures in front of him.

"Hahaha, you still want to fight with us?"

The leading Colossus gave a thunderous laughter: "Let's move on like this, all the time bonuses in the nine stages will be won by our Phoenix Apostles!"

"Hmph, it's pretty much what I expected."

Cyclops looked back and couldn't help sneering: "In order to save physical strength, most of the people are behind, let us easily surpass and open the distance, it's so smooth, everything is going according to plan!"

"So next, do you want to distance yourself?" Storm asked.

Cyclops shook his head and said, "No need, keep a distance of more than one kilometer and give priority to winning the first stage."

"Why? Scott!" Colossus expressed great puzzlement about this decision: "Since we have gained an advantage, don't we take advantage of the situation to continue to widen the distance and maintain or expand the advantage?"

"No, keep the current speed."

Cyclops said coldly: "The follow-up stage is still very long, we need to maintain our physical strength, and secondly... I am worried that if it is too conspicuous, it will attract other people's targets, although it is not afraid, but it will delay and drain our stamina."

For this decision, other people can only follow.

Because the five Phoenix Apostles seem to be equal, in fact, they are mainly Cyclops, and he is the real leader.

...

Church of Santa Maria Novella, the finish of stage.1.

As 2,345 testers crossed the finish line, it heralded the official end of the first stage of the race, and the Church of Santa Maria Novella at the finish line will temporarily serve as a rest for the testers and supplies.

The Phoenix Apostle Colossus, without any surprises, became the winner of the first stage, earning a one-hour time bonus.

According to the order of collision, the top 10 rankings are displayed on the stone tablet outside the church.

They are Colossus, Cyclops, Storm, Hope, Quicksilver, Jinbian, Punisher, Sabre-toothed Tiger, Beast, and Nightcrawler. UU reading

In the top ten, only Jinbian and Punisher are not mutants, and the rest are all occupied by mutants.

The rest time is only a short one hour.

After an hour of rectification, more than 2,300 testers continued to embark on the second stage of the race.

STAGE.2, across Monument Valley!

Different from the small fights in the first stage, the second stage is a real super long stage, which is a full 1200km and needs to traverse the desert.

The Phoenix Apostles still maintained their leading position, but starting from the second stage, the route choices of the trialists were different, especially in the vast desert. Soon everyone dispersed and no one could be seen.

"It's so hot... I feel like I'm dying of heat."

Colossus wiped his sweat, his breathing was a little uncomfortable, and he felt like there was a fire in his lungs, and the dry weather in the desert caused his respiratory tract to feel aching pain, and said, "Orolo, give me water. , I want to drink some, my throat is smoking."

Storm threw a water bag over: "Drink sparingly. To save weight, I didn't take much water."

"I see!"

Colossus showed a look of disgust, picked up the water bag and put it to his mouth, ready to drink a special drink.

However, at this moment, a silver arrow came through the air.

Snapped!

The water bag burst at the sound, and all the precious water resources were sprinkled on the hot sand.

The four Phoenix Apostles froze for a moment, and they turned their gazes in unison, towards the direction where the arrow missed, about 300 feet away from them, behind a raised sand dune.

The sudden attack made the four Phoenix Apostles tense, and immediately entered a state of battle.
