Lin Sanjiu only heard about the term "sponsor" on the fourth day after the tournament started.
After the first three days of the tournament, there were 29 capsules missing from the capsule area.
Among the twenty-nine women, there were some who had outstanding abilities, some who were quick-witted, and some who knew how to work together … But they still died in the most meaningless and undignified way. They turned into pools of blood and flesh that were splattered all over the Lunar New Year's Combat Tournament. Groups of duoluozhongs walked back and forth, squelching sounds could be heard.
One of the women's abilities seemed to be related to her eyesight. Even after her corpse was reduced to mush, one of her eyeballs was still intact. The duoluozhongs couldn't crush it no matter how hard they tried. They kept rolling around in the pool of blood with the white part of their eyeballs staring at the sky.
After every match, the number of duoluozhongs that had defeated their opponents increased, just like how the pile of flesh and blood on the ground grew thicker. In the previous match, the duoluozhongs that were not killed by the female contestants were not pulled out. They only wandered around the arena, waiting for more duoluozhongs to join them in the second match. Perhaps it was because the duoluozhongs in the Garden of Eden Laboratory had been 'strengthened', the duoluozhongs in the first three days did not seem to be very intelligent. Their fighting style was also not new...
From the fourth day onwards, Lin Sanjiu felt that the first 29 women were actually lucky.
At that moment, the camera was quickly scanning the cheering crowd on the big screen. Wherever the camera went, it would incite screams of joy from the audience. Some people even took off their robes and hats and jumped up to wave at the camera. Today, there were no empty seats in the arena. The hawkers were walking back and forth between the rows of seats, their faces glowing. They were selling all kinds of novel and colorful snacks and souvenirs. All of them were sold out in no time at all.
After the audience's welcome scene ended, a close-up image of a female contestant appeared amidst the tsunami of cheers and applause.
It seemed that the image was captured by the camera installed in the capsule. On the screen, a young girl was leaning against the wall of the capsule. She looked haggard and her eyelids were drooping. She looked so dispirited that she had lost all will to fight. When she saw herself in the center of the arena, she only moved her eyeballs.
She was only 18 or 19 years old. Even though she couldn't be considered beautiful, she was still young. It was also quite moving.
"This is our 14th contestant, Xin Yi, who is only 18 years old. She is honored to be the first female Mutant to have a sponsor this year. Please give her a round of applause!" As soon as the host's voice fell, a beam of light shot into the audience seats and turned into an animated projection in the air. After the petals were spread out, they combined into "Chairman of the Garden of Eden Crops Copy and Paste Technology Co., Ltd. Li Caixin congratulates the people of the nation for a Happy New Year." There was a small line of words below, which seemed to be the company's address.
Only then did Xin Yi glance at the projection in the air, a hint of doubt slowly appearing in her mind.
"The sponsor, Garden of Eden Crops Copy and Paste Technology Co., Ltd., Caixin Lee, has chosen the future for contestant No. 14." The host purposely dragged out his words to keep the audience in suspense for a while before announcing loudly, "Contestant No. 14 will be beheaded under the body of a duoluozhong that has consumed a powerful aphrodisiac!"
On the big screen. Xin Yi's facial features seemed to be frozen, unable to move. Her numb expression was like a shattered mask, falling off her face.
The audience was silent for a moment.
Then, the first round of applause rang out from an unknown corner. As if the sound was contagious, it quickly spread through the crowd. Soon, the applause converged into a torrent that resounded through the entire arena. Lin Sanjiu felt that she must have misheard something.
Lin Sanjiu felt that she must have misheard something. She stared blankly at Xin Yi on the screen and covered her mouth. She vomited. As the yellowish gastric juice flowed through her fingers, the camera switched to the next contestant.
It was a woman in her mid-thirties. She had a mature, well-developed, and fair complexion. If it weren't for the fact that she was pounding the walls of the capsule like a madman, the camera would have stopped moving. It was so shocking that the camera was shaking. Perhaps it was even more pleasing to the eye —
"The nationally renowned gourmet, the host of a popular gourmet show, and the creator of 'A Gentle Bite', Odin, congratulates the people of the nation for enjoying the festive season. The future he has chosen for contestant No. 70 is —"
The mature woman stopped and raised her head in a daze, revealing the snow-white skin at the base of her neck.
"— Cut off the tender flesh of her breasts and inner thighs while she is still alive. This part will be personally cooked by Odin into a 'Milk Shake', which will be aired later on his show … For those who wish to collect a complete specimen of Contestant No. 70, please note that these parts will be models … "
So, she did not mishear.
Lin Sanjiu clenched her trembling fists. She could feel her right temple throbbing violently, as if a beast was about to crawl out of her brain and devour her. She didn't know which emotion was too strong, but her whole body was trembling, and her teeth were chattering. She tried to control her muscles a few times, but she couldn't stop.
Among the five contestants in today's competition, only these two were "lucky" enough to get sponsors. The host paused for a moment before moving on to the next segment, "There are currently three hypotheses regarding how long contestant No. 14 can last under the duoluozhong's body. First, she can last 3 to 5 minutes. Second, she can last 6 to 9 minutes. Third, she can last 10 minutes or more. According to the experts' analysis, contestant No. 14's ability is judged to be an agility and dexterity type … "
The capsule carrying Xinyi had already started sliding into the arena. Lin Sanjiu couldn't imagine what kind of expression Xinyi was wearing right now.
When the five capsules stopped in the middle of the arena, the big screen showed the bets placed on contestant No. 14 from all over Garden of Eden. The first two options had the most bets, and the betting pool was expanding rapidly. Perhaps, only people who wanted to win an upset would bet on the third option.
Soon, the bets for contestant No. 14 and contestant No. 70 ended. A black prison van, which Lin Sanjiu was already very familiar with, drove out of the arena.
As the arena was already covered in the blood of the dead, the prison van stopped outside the arena, probably for the sake of anti-skid.
This time, the duoluozhong that came down were obviously different from the previous three days.
The group of duoluozhongs that were still wandering around the arena now didn't even look like humans anymore. It was as if they were only bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty. However, even though the duoluozhong that came down were still bald and hairless, they still retained an important human organ. Lin Sanjiu could even tell that the laboratory in Garden of Eden must have strengthened them …
The thing that was as long as a man's calf swayed beside the duoluozhong's knees as they walked. It reminded people of a stallion. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to describe the expression on the duoluozhong's twisted faces. However, the excitement in their eyes became more intense, and the thing grew thicker and thicker.
Accompanied by Xinyi's heart-wrenching scream, a white mist rolled out from the transparent part of her capsule. It immediately caught the attention of the duoluozhongs. The white mist was a lure that was developed to target the habits of the duoluozhongs. Lin Sanjiu collapsed to the ground.
She clawed at the wall of the capsule with all her might. As she used too much force, her fingernails almost split open. She felt a sharp pain in her heart. She squinted her eyes and panted heavily, but she couldn't feel the pain in her fingertips.
She didn't know what was going on, but even she was secretly surprised at this moment. Her body was trembling so much that she was almost out of shape. Her aching muscles and blurred vision reminded her of the time when she collapsed in the wilderness when she first came to Garden of Eden. At that time, she didn't have any means to resist the radiation. However, now that she was inside the glass dome, she shouldn't be in danger from the radiation anymore …
Lin Sanjiu's eyes were bloodshot. She tried her best to forget the strange feeling in her body and see what was happening outside.
She wanted to see. She wanted to remember everything. She wanted to avenge these women that she had never met before …
As her vision became more and more blurry, she saw a member of the audience sitting in the first row, who was closer to the capsule area, hesitating for a moment. He looked at the capsules and then at the duoluozhongs. In the end, he took out a small bag and poured out a handful of gummies. Then, he put the gummies into a tube under his hat.
Lin Sanjiu immediately understood.
A familiar darkness surged from the depths of her consciousness. She closed her eyes unwillingly and fainted.
A few minutes after she fainted, all the residents in Garden of Eden cheered when they found out that Contestant No. 14 had finally been caught. (To be continued.)
