On the seventh day of the competition, after the first match in the morning, the arena fell into a strange atmosphere.
Lin Sanjiu raised her hand and wiped the blood off her face. She looked over the heads of the panicking crowd. Something big seemed to have happened outside. Everyone was looking at the screens on their wrists. There was a constant stream of panicked people jumping up and running towards the exit. No one dared to look at the center of the arena or at the female mutant who had just won. Whispers reverberated in the huge arena, forming a vague buzzing sound. Occasionally, there would be coughs and cries, faintly revealing an unforeseen event.
Groups of soldiers rushed into the arena. Everyone was wearing anti-radiation suits. They kept shouting at the crowd to maintain order and not to trample on each other. The advertisement on the screen had been playing for quite some time. The host had not said a single word even after a long time. Only the words "Ficard Videographer, capture your beautiful moments" were heard.
No one even noticed that the female contestants did not enter the capsules.
"What … happened?" Li Tao asked Lin Sanjiu, who was reeking of blood, a little confused.
Lin Sanjiu smiled faintly. She finally felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.
Even though the area of effect of the [Nostradamus's Card] was very small, only the size of a human head, radiation was different from temperature. It would spread. So far, Lin Sanjiu had released a total of 26 sieverts of radiation. Considering that a Grade 2 combatant would have to undergo a cleansing process after being recalled, Lin Sanjiu was a little worried. She wasn't sure if she had released enough radiation.
However, from the looks of it, the two soldiers who carried the skinny security guard's corpse out the other night were probably dead.
That night, Lin Sanjiu had deliberately injected 10 Sirs into the security guard's ankle when they were moving his corpse. As expected, the two soldiers, who were only considered average, lifted his head and the other lifted his leg. Then, they carried the skinny security guard's corpse out of the arena.
The wound on his throat was, but after he absorbed all the radiation, his ankle became swollen and bruised. Her ankle was bruised and swollen, and Lin Sanjiu was a little worried. Fortunately, no one seemed to notice this small anomaly.
The residents of Garden of Eden had always lived under the protection of the glass dome. The glass roof shielded them from most of the radiation. As for the remaining bit of radiation, they just had to eat gummies to resist it. Their physique was that of an ordinary person, so they had no chance of survival when directly exposed to radiation. Once the radiation concentration exceeded three sieverts, the number of acute illnesses and deaths would begin to rise sharply.
Although he didn't think much about it when he did it. However, when Lin Sanjiu thought about it carefully, she was pleasantly surprised. Once the glass dome started to emit radiation, it would be very difficult for it to dissipate. The glass dome that used to protect the residents of Garden of Eden had now become a gas chamber that trapped them inside.
"Radiation sickness." This was the first time Lin Sanjiu's voice sounded so light since she entered the Lunar New Year Tournament. She turned around and looked at the dozen women behind her. She smiled at Li Tao and said, "You must be tired of this place, right?"
Li Tao blinked her big eyes, which were like black grapes. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
"Tonight, we can try to get out."
Li Tao was shocked and was about to say something. The advertisement on the big screen turned black with a click. Following that, Aliba's exasperated voice rang out, "Due to an emergency situation, the Lunar New Year Tournament will be temporarily suspended! All spectators, please leave the arena in an orderly manner. Guards, quickly detain the mutated! "
Lin Sanjiu laughed and reminded Li Tao, "Don't fall asleep tonight."
Li Tao was still in shock. She didn't know if she should take Aliba's words seriously. She quickly nodded and followed Lin Sanjiu. As Lin Sanjiu walked back, she clapped her hands a few times to attract the attention of the other women. "Have a good rest this afternoon. I still need all of you to work hard!" Lin Sanjiu said loudly.
Even though her voice was very clear and the guards outside the arena could hear her, her words were vague. However, her words were vague. A soldier carrying a gun, probably a newcomer, saw that the female mutated human followed her into the capsule one by one. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Damn, this number 97 is a little …"
"He won't be jumping around for much longer." An old soldier snorted. After making sure that all the capsules were closed, After making sure that all the doors of the capsules were closed, he waved his hand and the capsules glided back in the direction they came from. "Don't you know that those officers are going crazy? They don't have the time to care about these mutated people … I reckon that they will kill all of them in no time. "
The old soldier was right. Aliba was indeed thinking about that.
There was no other reason than the fact that a large number of military and police officers, led by the committee, had been wiped out too quickly. Ever since they found out that the first person to die from radiation was a guard, the government officials used all the public opinion they could use to attack the military and police officers for not doing their jobs and neglecting their duties. They even allowed the radiation to leak out and contaminate the Garden of Eden. In addition, the female mutated people had won three consecutive matches in the Lunar New Year Combat Tournament without suffering any injuries. For a moment, people were scolding the military and police for being incompetent.
Fortunately, the fact that the vault had been robbed had not been exposed yet. After making two phone calls with his superior, Aliba quickly issued a series of orders. The media controlled by his side were to denounce the Garden of Eden Laboratory for being careless and causing the radiation leak. They were also to accuse them of embezzlement and that all the anti-radiation facilities were of low quality. Most importantly, in order to show the military and police how tough they were, all the female mutated people would be beheaded the next morning. The entire process would be broadcasted live.
"We can't let the hosting rights of the Lunar New Year Combat Tournament fall back into the hands of the people from the technology faction," Aliba sighed heavily. "We have to make them take the blame for the radiation sickness incident no matter what!"
The aide-de-camp, who was fully covered in an anti-radiation suit, hurriedly nodded his head. Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Aliba, who was behind him. "Oh right, be careful tonight. Send more people to the venue to keep an eye on it. If those female mutated humans cause any trouble, you can forget about your job. Especially keep an eye on that number 97!"
He had always been a very cautious person.
Following Aliba's orders, teams of fully armed soldiers entered the competition venue in the evening. (To be continued.)
