"..."
Li Tao raised one of her eyebrows. She had been maintaining that expression for some time.
Lin Sanjiu looked at her awkwardly.
Ever since Lin Sanjiu revealed her plan, the two of them fell into a strange silence.
Lin Sanjiu watched as the familiar prison van slowly drove towards the arena. The duoluozhongs that she had accumulated from the previous few matches had also gathered and were waiting for her order. Even though she knew that her plan was a little crude, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help calling out to her softly, "Hey, can't you at least say something?"
If Li Tao's expression was translated into Chinese, it would probably be, "You call this a plan?" She suddenly turned her head and shouted, "What do you guys think?"
Lin Sanjiu froze for a moment. It was only then that she realized that the other three female contestants had already pricked up their ears and moved closer to them.
Compared to Li Tao, the three female contestants appeared to be at a loss. A girl with a student hairstyle from the Republic of China wiped her face and looked at Lin Sanjiu suspiciously, "Are you really going to do what you say?"
"That's too reckless. I... I can't do it..." The girl was a skinny woman in her thirties. She crossed her arms and looked at the howling duoluozhongs not far away. She mumbled some depressing words to herself.
However, her footsteps unknowingly moved closer to Lin Sanjiu.
"If I don't intend to follow through with this plan, why would I say it out loud?" Lin Sanjiu nodded at the two female contestants. Her gaze swept across the remaining female contestant who had not spoken, "However, once you decide to participate, you must not give up halfway."
Just as Lin Sanjiu finished speaking, the female contestant who was left behind immediately interjected, "I understand that we all want to help each other, but why …"
"There is no why!" Lin Sanjiu suddenly raised her voice, startling the female contestant into silence. Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and looked at the prison van that was opening up. "Whoever wants me to protect her later has to agree to this condition!"
The three of them stopped talking. Lin Sanjiu was a little surprised when Li Tao took a closer look at her. She was the first to speak, "I'm in."
Her voice was a little shaky, but she spat out every word clearly.
With the first person nodding his head, the rest were easy to handle. Lin Sanjiu nodded gratefully at Li Tao as she listened to the names of the other three.
"What's going on?" An audience member sitting in the first row of the VIP seats asked. He muttered in dissatisfaction. His voice came through the speaker on his helmet, sounding like a buzz. "What are they babbling about? Why aren't you afraid? "
At this point in the previous years, the women who had witnessed too many tragedies often showed signs of mental breakdown. In an ordinary apocalyptic world, one only needed the will to survive and a little luck. But the Garden of Eden, a dark, purely pleasure-seeking evil, could easily destroy a person's mind.
Perhaps it could be said that if humans were compared to computers, the two places would require two different sets of "systems."
People with two systems are in the minority, so there is no shortage of entertainment for the Garden of Eden audience.
After No. 1 appeared on stage and whispered something to another player, the atmosphere in the stadium suddenly changed for some reason.
He's become a little unlikeable.
The audience member sitting next to the person who spoke just now was silent for a while. Then, he suddenly laughed, "Yeah."
His voice was clean and gentle. It gave people a good impression of him. The person who spoke looked at him but couldn't see anything through his mask. He turned his head and shouted, "Oh, there's a Grade 2 combatant! Looks like the sponsors are putting in a lot of money! "
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu took a step forward and stared at the person who had just walked out of the prison van.
Among the few disgusting duoluozhongs, this person was very conspicuous. He should be a male posthuman.
Perhaps, the correct way to describe him was that he was once a posthuman.
His eye sockets were pitch black and there were only two empty holes. His body was covered with countless knife cuts, needle holes and stitches. He looked like a tattered public experiment. When the person turned his head, Lin Sanjiu could clearly see that there was no hair on the back of his head. He could clearly see that there was no hair on the back half of the skull — or rather, even the skull was gone. Instead, there was a huge beetle-shaped machine embedded in the back of his head. The lights on the machine flickered.
"What you are looking at now is a product of our Garden of Eden Laboratory. He is a male posthuman known as a Grade 2 combatant … As we all know, male posthuman are mainly used for experiments. This one is no exception …"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. Initially, she thought that only female posthuman would be treated in such a miserable manner. However, when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the technology developed for posthuman and the methods they used to deal with them … They had to test it on someone first before they released it.
Every time the male posthuman moved, the insect-shaped machine would light up. Even though he no longer had eyes, Lin Sanjiu felt that he was observing the situation in the stadium, especially when the two black holes were aimed at her.
Li Tao's face lit up on the big screen. The host excitedly announced her sponsor for the day. The content of the conversation was almost the same as the previous two days. They were all things that could make Lin Sanjiu vomit. However, when Lin Sanjiu wanted to say something to Li Tao, she noticed that Li Tao was smiling at her with a pale face.
"Don't worry," Lin Sanjiu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "As long as I win, I will let that sponsor eat sh * t."
In this competition, Li Tao and the girl with the Republic of China hairstyle, Dong Haohao, were the only two contestants with sponsors.
That was also the reason why when the horn sounded, the black mass of duoluozhongs on the opposite side screamed and charged towards them.
She didn't feel it when she was watching from inside the capsule, but when she was in the real world, it was truly frightening.
The slippery flesh under her feet made a squelching sound when she stepped on it. The smell of blood filled her nostrils. The screeching sound was so deafening that it hurt her eardrums. The ground shook as the duoluozhongs stomped on it. Even though Lin Sanjiu's rationality told her that there were only a few dozen duoluozhongs on the opposite side, every corner of her vision was filled with duoluozhongs.
Lin Sanjiu used her mouth as a whip and whipped a duoluozhong that was trying to grab Dong Haohao. The sharp blade on her mouth and her ferocious strength sent a large part of its body flying. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what part it was. "The three of us will stand at the outer perimeter. Those with sponsors, go inside! Quick, make sure they don't get caught! "
The short-haired, skinny woman was called Xu Wei. She hurriedly responded and clenched her fists. She knocked away a duoluozhong that was charging towards Li Tao. The other one called Bai Xiaoke rushed to Dong Haohao's side and screamed at Lin Sanjiu, "If I get killed, I will haunt you even if I become a ghost!"
Lin Sanjiu grinned and elbowed him. One of the duoluozhong's face crumbled, "Don't worry, I will die before you do!"
Before Bai Xiaoke could regain her balance, a few duoluozhongs howled and pounced on her. She was so frightened that she closed her eyes. A muscular arm swung in front of her and knocked the duoluozhongs away. Bai Xiaoke then calmed down and looked at the tall man beside her.
[The Queen's Handsome Male Escort]
Although it looked like a man, it was actually a consumable item. Depending on the intensity of the command, like soap (huh?) Similarly, as he used it, it would become smaller and smaller until it disappeared. Therefore, the Empress must always maintain the heart of "wanting to taste fresh meat". Only then could she successfully summon the next male escort.
PS: Other than fighting, you can do anything you want.
Lin Sanjiu was shocked when a man suddenly appeared among them. Just when she realized that it was Bai Xiaoke's ability, she heard Li Tao yell from behind, "Quick, hide!"
Lin Sanjiu immediately thought of the male Posthuman that she had not seen since the start of the battle.
She could hear the wind behind her, but she couldn't hide because there were people behind her. If she dodged now, if one of them got hurt, the team that had just formed would immediately fall apart.
She forced herself to look behind her. Two dark eye sockets were inches away from her. A blinding white light distorted the shape of the eye sockets. In the next second, Lin Sanjiu was swallowed by the white light.
[One Wolf Business Leisure Belt Protective Barrier] was activated instantly. After being used by Sandwhale, the remaining 67% of the protective barrier was dropping rapidly. However, the white light did not go out. The rest of them were entangled by the duoluozhongs and couldn't help. Even if they could, they didn't know how to help. Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Looks like we have to say goodbye to Contestant 97 …"
Before the host could finish his sentence, Lin Sanjiu heard a cracking sound from her waist. The belt broke into a few pieces and fell to the ground. At the same time, the white light finally disappeared.
She was drenched in cold sweat. She touched herself to make sure that it was still intact.
After missing his attack, the male Posthuman immediately jumped away and disappeared into the crowd of duoluozhongs.
"What was that?" Xu Wei's voice was trembling.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know either. Even with the instantaneous killing power of Versu poison, it only reduced the belt's energy by a few percent. And in just a few seconds, he had actually destroyed the belt. How many times could that ball of white light take her life?
"What should we do? What if he comes again … "Li Tao stood in the middle of the circle. She waved her hands in the air and a duoluozhong outside the circle fell to the ground before it could reach Xu Wei.
[Hydrology Skill with Both Beard and Tail]
He seemed to be a little-known web novelist who had the ability to write 6300 words in one go when necessary without making any progress in the plot. This ability was extracted by the reader and became a good way to delay the opponent's actions. Even if they waited for a long time, the next move wouldn't happen.
PS: This ability can be used on multiple targets. However, the more targets there are, the shorter the duration. The longest duration is no more than three seconds. This ability can be used five times a day.
Even though Xu Wei was afraid, she still punched the duoluozhongs in the head with the cover of her companions.
Lin Sanjiu had just come back from the brink of death. She calmed her racing heart and shouted, "Let's get rid of the duoluozhongs first. Without these things as a cover, we can at least avoid him! But we have to be fast, before he attacks again! "
The attack just now definitely needed to be recharged. If it could be used continuously, the male Posthuman wouldn't have jumped back.
"But there are too many of them!" A green liquid splashed out from one of the duoluozhongs. When it brushed past Dong Haohao's body, her clothes immediately melted and white smoke rose from her skin. She endured the pain and tears as she shouted, "My ability is not good!"
Since the start of the competition, so many duoluozhongs had fallen, but Dong Haohao was the only one who suffered such a minor injury. As the white smoke rose, the audience finally exploded with dissatisfaction. They stood up, shouted, waved flags, threw things … Almost everyone was shouting and cursing at the duoluozhongs and the Grade 2 combatants to be more careful. "Hurry up and catch one."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the audience, gritted her teeth and shouted at Li Tao. Her voice was drowned out by the thunderous cheers.
Li Tao slowly stopped her attack. Her gaze swept past her companions who were fighting and fell on the ground not far away. In the muddy flesh, there was a snow-white eyeball that could not be trampled. It was staring at the sky.
"That's it." Li Tao bit her lower lip.
"Your ability is that you can summon every soul that died in this arena. Return for revenge. "
As Li Tao spoke in a low voice, the temperature of the bandage around Lin Sanjiu's neck rose.
The Pygmalion Collar was activated.
Sensing that something was wrong, the cheers in the arena gradually quieted down. If it wasn't for the electric fence, the whistling wind in the arena would have blown the hats off the VIP audience. The shrill cries were accompanied by the growing number of shadows in the arena. Eventually, the shadows turned into the faces of the dead female contestants.
Some of them were recognizable, some were not; some were mutilated, some were still intact. There were far more than a few dozen of them. Lin Sanjiu could feel her stamina draining away. She looked at Xin Yi's face, her eyes trembling slightly. "That's right, Xin Yi.
It was just a head floating in the air. Even though her body had turned into a "ghost", it did not return. It did not return.
Lin Sanjiu's eyes welled up. She held back her tears and shouted, "Go!"
Finally, the spirits surged forward like a wave, drowning the duoluozhongs. In the sea of spirits, the duoluozhongs screamed and struggled. They bobbed up and down and soon, they did not show their heads anymore. Finally, there was a chance.
Hatred shrouded the entire arena. In the midst of the darkness, there was only a ball of white light that flickered a few times. Then, it was extinguished. The host's panicked voice could not even stir up a ripple before it disappeared. Before the five-minute time limit was up, the duoluozhongs had already turned into a pile of corpses. Some of them were still twitching.
All the duoluozhongs were dead. The spirits shrieked as they charged towards the electric fence. Wave after wave, the spectators' faces turned green under their masks. Many of them who were shouting to kill the mutated humans just a moment ago couldn't help but jump up and run towards the entrance. However, the electric fence held. The spirits looked as if they were scalded. One by one, they turned into smoke. Only then did the audience calm down.
The five minutes were almost up. Countless spirits turned around and charged toward the five contestants in the arena. Lin Sanjiu was stunned. Then, she felt many shadowy shadows passing through her body.
"Thank you."
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if it was Xin Yi's voice, but she whispered into her ear.
When she opened her eyes again, the lights in the arena were still as bright as day.
Amidst the silence, everyone stared blankly at the five motionless women, as well as the ground … covered in blood and severed limbs.
Even the host was speechless. He had no idea what to say.
In the dead silence, Lin Sanjiu could hear the panting of the people behind her. She scanned the arena nervously.
The male mutated was definitely still alive.
She endured the weakness in her muscles and activated her [Cheat Finger]. Her eyes scanned the arena. Even though she couldn't use the full power of this ability, it was still effective. She immediately saw something moving under the pile of white, rotten flesh.
Lin Sanjiu held her breath. With a few leaps, she came to the pile of rotten flesh. She raised the mouthpiece in her hand high.
The mouthpiece shattered the insect-shaped machine. Then, yellowish-white brain matter splattered out.
Before he breathed his last, Lin Sanjiu thought she heard him call out, "Sister."
'Did he see his sister in the spirits? '
Lin Sanjiu put away the mouthpiece and walked back to the other contestants. A small camera that had been hovering above the arena sensibly flew over to capture her facial expression.
"Why aren't you talking?" Lin Sanjiu smiled. The blood on her face was clearly visible on the screen. "Let me announce the result for you."
"We've won this round. We will not withdraw. We will continue to participate in the next round. "
"We are not mutated humans. We are posthumans. We are posthumans who are superior to all of you. "
That's right. This was Lin Sanjiu's plan.
She wanted to stay in the arena and help the contestants survive in the next round. As a condition, every woman who received her help had to stay in the arena and continue to fight.
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu did not care about the uproar in the Garden of Eden caused by those two explosive statements. She watched as the image of the host appeared on the big screen. She hesitated for a moment and squatted down.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt? "Li Tao asked quickly.
The other contestants were still in a daze. They couldn't believe that they had already won a round. When they saw Lin Sanjiu squatting down, they all looked at her.
"No, I'm fine." Lin Sanjiu hesitated, which was rare. "Don't look at me. Don't be disgusted by me."
Li Tao stared at Lin Sanjiu with her bright eyes. She was full of questions.
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and suddenly reached for a piece of duoluozhong's corpse. She put it into her mouth and drank the blood. The strange and disgusting smell made her frown. Her throat moved as if she wanted to vomit. However, in the end, she drank all the blood.
She covered her mouth and stood up with a pale face. She looked at Garden of Eden, which was the second time she had been shocked. (To be continued.)
PS:
This chapter is rich … Thank you to [Concubine] for giving me a pink vote. Thank you to [Mirror V Balance]'s sachet and your two long comments. Thank you to [Parting Day] for giving me a pink vote. I'm almost done with the outline and plot outline. I can start updating in March (right).
As for the problem of the male protagonist, I don't think there will be (probably) … Also, I know that there are many flaws in this article. I welcome all kinds of reasonable opinions, but if you start to attack me just because the plot disgusts you, I won't accept it!
The reason why Garden of Eden is so dark is because it is related to the subsequent plot. I can't spoil it in advance, can I? I didn't even dare to describe it directly. I just asked the host to say a few words...
