At the starting line, the organizer Green Mountain Villa pulled a red ribbon at the front.

At this moment, the participating teams of all clubs also raised their respective flags high, and everyone began to do the final warm-up exercises on the starting line.

At the front of the team, Wu Jun, a photographer from Jiangnan City TV station, was already carrying a camera to take pictures of the pre-match scenes.

Host Bai Xiaolan held the microphone in her hand and shouted to the team in front: "Okay, our competition will start soon. I see many players are already eager to try. So now, we will give the starting slogan to our Qin City

long."

After the words fell, Bai Xiaolan handed the microphone to Qin Gang and whispered: "Mayor Qin, please call the departure command."

"Okay." Qin Gang nodded silently and faced the camera.

Then he raised the starting gun handed over by the staff high: "Jiangnan City Green Mountain Village National Fitness Rainbow Run, the countdown begins now, three! Two! One!"

"boom!"

As everyone agreed, a gunshot was fired, and the red ribbon fell instantly. The 1,000-person team immediately raised their flags and ran toward the Green Flower Sea.

Many tourists around saw such a spectacular scene and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the scene.

There are many association members in front of the group to ensure that the following teams can follow their own rhythm.

Contestants from non-community associations were firmly isolated behind the team contestants by the human chain team of participating police officers.

As the top contestants passed the first level, the workstation volunteers wearing red vests instantly "received" them with cornmeal in the basin.

The players did not show any weakness and immediately launched an organized "counterattack".

After a round of competition, the entire level was suddenly filled with smoke.

The contestants rushed out of the checkpoint one after another with "favors" and continued running towards the next goal.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei ran quickly, following Gu Chen and observing from left to right, and said: "Liu Zhifeng seems to be competing alone. He doesn't seem to have any conspiracy to sabotage the Rainbow Run."

"Yes." Yuan Shasha, who was running on the other side of Gu Chen, came over and said, "I see that he is careless and has no accomplices around him. This guy is just here to participate in the competition."

"Don't take it lightly." Gu Chen warned while running, "There is another group of colleagues watching Liu Zhifeng."

"And in the team, we all control the running rhythm separately. As long as there are no major problems and the game can end smoothly, that is the best arrangement."

"That's right." Officer Wang, who was catching up from behind, also expressed his opinion at this moment: "We'd better make sure the game goes smoothly first. As for other things, we'll wait until the game is over."

"Wow!"

While several people were discussing, the large army began to pass through the first checkpoint one by one.

Colorful powder suddenly flew into the air, and Gu Chen and others were instantly dyed in color.

Officer Wang patted the cornmeal off his head and asked, "What color is my head and face?"

"Purple and red." Gu Chen said.

When Officer Wang heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, it's not green. I just saw a buddy with green cornmeal sprinkled all over his head. It looked quite funny."

"Old Wang, have you seen Liu Zhifeng?" Just after everyone passed through the first corn flour, a police officer responsible for monitoring Liu Zhifeng ran to Officer Wang and asked him about Liu Zhifeng's movements.

Officer Wang was stunned and said, "Isn't your team responsible for keeping an eye on him? Why did you come over to ask me?"

"Didn't you lose track of me when you passed the first checkpoint?" Another police officer in the same group also said anxiously:

"Just now, there was a burst of cornmeal, which made it hard to see the fingers of one's hands. When we rushed through this chaotic and crowded checkpoint, we found that Liu Zhifeng had disappeared. Everyone looked confused."

"In other words, you have lost track of Liu Zhifeng?" Gu Chen slowed down and asked.

The two police officers responsible for keeping an eye on him suddenly looked at each other, seeming a little ashamed.

After hesitating for a while, the two of them chose to nod and admit.

"It's over." Lu Weiwei shook her head and said angrily: "If I had known this, I couldn't have let you two keep an eye on important people. You said you can lose track of everyone, so what else can you do?"

"This... we can't be blamed for this, right?" A police officer participating in the competition said, "If I'm to blame, it's the volunteers at that level who just threw the basin of cornmeal directly at my head.

Button up.”

"I was running in the back again, and I was thrown out of nowhere. I was also pushed away by the crowd. The scene was also very chaotic."

"I came and went here once and for all, but when I looked again, I lost sight of him."

"Then what should we do now?" Another police officer said nervously knowing that he had caused a big trouble.

"Don't worry yet." Gu Chen looked around, pointed to the second checkpoint in front of him and said, "According to the speed at which Liu Zhifeng passed the first checkpoint just now, he will pass the second checkpoint in maybe 3 minutes."

"But if you try to catch up now, there may be errors. I suggest you speed up your running speed and rush to the third level."

"At that time, you pretend to be there to replenish water and observe the players passing by. You will probably be able to find Liu Zhifeng."

"What a good idea." After hearing what Gu Chen said, one of the police officers suddenly became enlightened and couldn't help but said: "Rather than looking for a needle in a haystack among the crowd, it's better to rush to the third level and wait there."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up." Seeing the two of them still dawdling in place, Officer Wang also urged.

After a brief communication, the two police officers sped up and rushed towards the second checkpoint.

Lu Weiwei slapped her on the forehead and said angrily: "These two people are too unreliable. They just passed the first level and lost them. How can we deal with this?"

"Whatever needs to be done, the most important thing is to get the person back." Officer Wang said with some worry as he trotted along:

"This rainbow run is really interesting. Everyone is spraying corn flour on each other, and everyone becomes a tabby cat."

"If we hadn't run together and had the tag numbers stuck on our chests, otherwise we wouldn't know each other with our cornstarch faces. Am I right, Lu Weiwei?"

After finishing his words, seeing Lu Weiwei beside him unmoved, Officer Wang said again: "Am I right, Lu Weiwei?"

"Ah? Who are you calling?" When the woman heard this, she looked at Officer Wang in confusion and said, "My name is not Lu Weiwei."

Officer Wang:???

"Wrong person? This..."

Standing there, Officer Wang looked around and found that Lu Weiwei, Gu Chen and Yuan Shasha were all missing.

Officer Wang was dumbfounded and said, "Why did the person disappear in just a short while? He was still around just now."

Looking back, Officer Wang could immediately understand why the two police officers responsible for keeping an eye on Liu Zhifeng lost their target as soon as they passed the checkpoint.

Officer Wang was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he could only run and whisper in a thief's tone.

"Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei, Lu..."

"What are you doing, Lao Wang?" Just when Officer Wang was desperate, Lu Weiwei slapped Officer Wang on the back.

Officer Wang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and asked angrily: "Where did you go?"

"There were stones in Xiao Yuan's shoes just now. We were waiting for him on the roadside, and we saw you running forward alone without looking back. You didn't even hear me."

Lu Weiwei shrugged, with a "blame it on me" expression.

Officer Wang waved his hand and said with some embarrassment: "Forget it, I won't argue with you, just hurry up."

Everyone murmured for a while and continued running in the queue.

A level.

Two levels.

Three levels.

…

Seven levels.

When everyone reached the last level, they all looked happy.

Fortunately, there were no accidents throughout the entire journey.

The various questions in the threatening phone calls that Hu Tiankai received did not appear.

But after everyone passed through eight levels at this moment, they were already in a miserable state.

If they weren't running together, no one would know each other based on their faces.

Most people were looking for their companions in the scattered team.

Fortunately, Gu Chen has rich experience in such competitions, and the protective measures are also in place.

After everyone passed the last level, they took off their scarves and masks and gathered together.

Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen: "What should we do now? Everything went well in the competition."

Gu Chen looked around, and after thinking for two seconds, he said: "Let's go to the meeting place first. From here, run to the end point, which is in front of the stage where we just started. Over there, everyone has to gather."

"In addition, the organizer will also invite a band to perform on site, which will turn into an electronic music party in an instant. It will be difficult to find people, so everyone should mainly maintain the order of the site."

"Okay then." Officer Wang looked around and was a little confused: "At the beginning, it felt like everyone was going smoothly and the rhythm was strong, but everything went haywire at the first level."

"What kind of team associations and scattered players have long been thrown into chaos by these barriers. Even our own people can't find the answer."

Taking a deep breath, Officer Wang also said as he walked: "But fortunately we are almost at the end, and the game went smoothly."

"The surrounding security guards and our participating police officers also maintained order well. As long as there are no major problems during the closing ceremony of the game, everything will be fine."

"Old Wang." Seeing Officer Wang's relieved look, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but said: "Don't be too happy now. Really, let's go to the scene to gather first."

"Yeah, that's okay." Officer Wang wanted to wash his face quickly at this moment to get rid of the corn flour on his body.
