The draw was conducted quite secretly. Once a team leader finished drawing, they left, making way for the next group, avoiding any encounters to maintain a maximum level of mystery, as required by the organizers.
Ling came back and said, "The departure time I drew is 09:45. There's still half an hour from now." As he spoke, he took out four numbered badges.
"Are these the ones with a satellite locator?" Qu Tan'er curiously took one and looked at it. It resembled a brooch on clothes, with a small number on it, number 7. She curiously checked the one in Mo Liancheng's hand, which was number 19, "I thought it would either be six or eight."
Ling explained with a smile, "There was a box, and you reach in and grab one at random. Mine is 35, Hao Yuan's is 13. I also took a feel of the number of badges in the box. About half were left, meaning five or six teams had drawn before us." He knew that the order of drawing was decided by those who had drawn a round before.
