Chapter 1443: New Year's Day 1

Remember [] for a second,!

Originally, Penny wanted to ask something, but she was quickly attracted by what was shown on the TV.

In this era of lack of entertainment, this program of Lynch can not only satisfy the desire of the bottom of the society to realize the dream of federation, but also bring plenty of fun to everyone!

Yes, plenty of fun!

The competition in the new season is not just about having a good body, but also having to fight with other players.

Since the organs of the entire track are controlled by other players, each player has multiple opportunities to pass the level.

It would be unfair if only once, everyone has at least three chances.

For a track with more organs, there may be five, six, or even ten chances!

After each mechanism is activated, there will be a period of "cooling time", which is also to ensure that players off the field will not madly press the switch to let the mechanism continue to activate, making it impossible for players to spend it.

So this is the core of the battle of wits and courage!

You have to convince the players off the field that you really want to pass by, and have them turn off the engine at a not-so-right time so they have a chance to rush past!

And this has brought a lot of joy to people, especially the pictures of those players being beaten out by various organs, which has become a source of joy for people!

The competition is very intense, everyone is working hard to move forward, and after four months of competition, they finally come here, and now they are only one step away from the one million grand prize.

No one will give up at this time, they have been fighting, this spirit is exactly what the Federation needs!

At any time, as long as the dream has not been extinguished, you should have the courage to fight!

courage!

This is the key word of this competition, the federal people need courage to face their dreams, face reality, and even... war!

The race went on smoothly, one by one the players were knocked out by the trap, and until the last moment, no one was able to sprint to the end of the track. .

Since the start of the second season, there are nine tracks in total, and no one has been able to reach the finish line of any track, which is a miracle!

There are also people in the society who think that the content of these competitions is too harsh, the organization does not have any rules (because they are controlled by other contestants), and it is too difficult to win the competition.

If it wasn't for the final comparison of who was closest to the finish line to confirm the winner, I'm afraid someone would have made a fuss!

Even so, there are people who are making trouble, and some people take the TV station to court. For example, a young man who was eliminated was thrown out by the hammer.

He said he was horribly hurt and hoped the TV station would pay him 30,000 yuan.

But in fact he is blackmailing, Lynch does not agree to compromise, but wants to fight the lawsuit.

Not only to win, but also to sue the other party for extortion, until this guy can't even wear pants!

In the TV screen, a very promising player has just successfully shaken the off-court player through a realistic fake action.

The other players seemed to be blaming him, and he himself was very unhappy with his misjudgment.

Every time you pass an organ, it means that you are ahead of others by a distance, and the final victory may be a few meters away!

While speaking, the player was already approaching the next stage, and he already had some strategies in the process of running.

Before, he used all kinds of fake moves to deceive the players who controlled the buttons and let them activate the mechanism in advance.

But this time, he decided not to make those fake moves.

In other words, if you want to make the real action like a fake action, as long as the person who controls the agency hesitates, it may take less than half a second to pass the agency again!

Accelerate, lower your weight, and he makes it look like he's actually sprinting!

Of course, he was indeed sprinting. Seeing that the next task was just around the corner, the players off the court were also very nervous.

The moment he saw the players on the field approaching the organ quickly without slowing down, he subconsciously tapped the button.

Fine electric sparks flickered between the contacts, and the next moment, a boxing glove-like mechanism suddenly slammed into the contestant, which the contestant did not expect.

Even if he wanted to reduce his speed, it was too late.

Amid the exclamations and laughter of the people, the player was knocked back by a "punch"!

His body fell into the pool after a few bumps on the soft track.

This is also for the safety of players!

When he was picked up, there was still some blood on his face, and his nose was punched hard by that fist.

Although the entire fist is made of sponge and rubber, it is not so hard, but it is not so pleasant to do mechanical movement towards him during the sprint.

The players off the field breathed a sigh of relief, communicated with each other in a low voice, and adjusted their strategies.

This scene made everyone in the audience find it... interesting!

Whoever is on the field is the enemy of everyone, and these people will analyze that person, find out his behavior pattern, and target him.

Off the field, everyone is a friend.

On the field, everyone is the enemy!

This peculiar sense of the constant inversion of identities makes people feel very fresh, and it is also fascinated by the ideas of the program designers.

When all the players finished their own challenge, they began to do the final evaluation. Everyone was so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats!

Penny, who was lying on the bed, rubbed her eyes, watching the game for more than three hours in one breath was indeed a bit... tired.

She leaned on Lynch's chest, "Who won in the end?"

"I do not know either."

Another brief silence followed.

The eventual winner was a sprinter who led all the runners by a meager six-meter finish, earning the second season million!

The expressions of the other contestants who endured various discomforts to congratulate him are always memorable for a long time.

Lynch also sighed deeply.

He turned and opened the bedside table, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

The girl lay down in a different position, more or less envious, "You can get a million all at once, this guy is really lucky."

Lynch couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Almost everyone thinks that one million is one million after tax. These people also don't think that the current tax rate is so high. How could it be one million after tax?

Penny couldn't help laughing when she learned from Lynch that the real prize for the game was $1 million before taxes.

In the state of war, the federal government raised the tax rate, and the bonus of 1 million was only 300,000.

This may be a better proof that there is always a gap that cannot be bridged between dreams and reality!

Watching the champion raise his arms and cheer, Lynch was suddenly curious what kind of new expression he would show when he knew he had to face a choice.

On the first day of the new year, the sun has not yet dawned.

Outside the largest oil field in the Commonwealth, a group of people suddenly appeared.

All of them had their heads covered, with only their eyes showing.

At this time, the weather in the north was minus ten degrees, and few people were working outdoors, and the huge robotic arm on the oil field was still slowly pulling.

With each pull, crude oil enters the tank through the pipeline.

This is one of the lifelines of the Duncan family's cash. The oil produced here every day is enough for them to do a lot of things, and the purpose of these people here is to temporarily stop work here.

These people didn't talk too much, they moved very quickly, and they quickly solved some patrolling squads and started destroying these robotic arms.

Destroying the oil mine itself is not an easy task. The only thing that can be guaranteed is to destroy the mechanical arm, and then destroy the pipeline and oil tank.

Repairing these things is not something that can be done in three or five days, and requires a lot of time and labor.

At this time, it is winter, and transportation is inconvenient. Once the oilfield is shut down, if you want to repair it, you have to wait at least until April or May.

With a gap of four or five months, even the Duncan family will suffer greatly.

The more it is like now, the more expenses the Duncan family spends.

Everyone knows that they are facing big trouble now, and they are still thinking of helping them at this time, not for their support and influence, but for money!

Moreover, if there is less money, they will not be able to do it, so they must have a lot of money.

Just like the tip-off officer in the FBI, the reason why he dares to do it is for the benefit!

He may face three or five years in prison, but hundreds of thousands may have been entered into accounts that no one knows about overseas!

This is the money that he may not be able to earn in three or five years, thirty or fifty years!

The further down the road, the more severe the situation of the Duncan family, the more places they spend their money!

At 7:00 in the morning, the No. 1 and No. 4 mining machines exploded, and other mining machines also suffered various problems and were damaged.

The oil storage tank leaked, the pipeline pressure detection changed dramatically, and the suspected interruption...

It takes a long time to build these things, but it doesn't take that much time to destroy them!

In winter, the sky just lit up at seven o'clock when the housekeeper knocked on the door of Mr. Geruno's bedroom.

A few minutes later, Mr. Geruno opened the door in his pajamas and a coat.

"What's wrong?"

he asks.

At this time, Mr. Geruno was not as high-spirited as he was at the joint development company's shareholders meeting a few years ago, his face was tired and even more old.

The butler's expression was solemn, "The oil field has been destroyed, the exact damage is not clear, but we may not be able to pump out oil in a short time..."

The war is imminent, and oil is more of a strategic material. At this time, as long as you have crude oil in your hands, no one will care who you are, where the oil comes from, and why you sell it.

As long as you have these things, they are willing to buy them.

And this is also the main source of income that supports the Duncan family and the federal government. Although the Duncan family is huge, they also need to spend a lot, and the liquidity in their hands is not as sufficient as imagined.

This bad news made the cold winter morning a little colder. Mr. Geruno's expression was slightly painful. He coughed, completely subconsciously.

"Wait until I get dressed..."
