Speaking of which, this was Lin Sanjiu's first time walking on the streets of Garden of Eden.
Just like what she saw outside the glass dome, every corner of Garden of Eden was filled with a different atmosphere from Earth — let's call it that for now.
It was not dawn yet, so the glass dome had a deep blue hue. The starlight shone through the glass dome, giving off a resplendent glow. The orange street lamp floating in the air sensed the approaching footsteps and immediately descended like a bird, lighting up the path in front of the group of people warmly.
In the tranquil night, the cold and warm colors harmonized beautifully, like a work of art.
Xueqin, who was being carried on the escort's back, suddenly snorted coldly.
"Don't be fooled by it. There are surveillance cameras installed on every street lamp."
Dong Haohao, who had just reached out to touch the street lamp, quickly retracted her hand when she heard Xueqin's words.
Lin Sanjiu turned her head to look at the dozens of people behind her. She whispered to Li Tao, "Even though everyone is wearing military-grade anti-radiation suits, so our identities won't be exposed, we still have to be careful. Tell them to talk and move as little as possible. They just need to walk with their guns. "
Li Tao nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd.
43 didn't sound like a big number, but when 43 people stood in front of her, they filled up half the street.
Lin Sanjiu didn't expect so many people to follow her. Even though there were some who chose to leave to protect themselves, most of them didn't want to take the risk because the day of the transfer was approaching...
After Gong Daoyi pointed out the way for them, he didn't leave. He continued to follow behind the army of women. Even though Lin Sanjiu wasn't willing to follow him, she couldn't just chase him away. She brought Xueqin with her to prevent them from fighting on the street.
"Do you see that black tower in the distance? That is a restricted area that the residents of Garden of Eden are not allowed to go near. It is said that it is the hub of the entire glass dome. It is the key part that provides energy for the dome. "
"Energy source?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She couldn't help looking up. The glass dome seemed to be shielded from radiation. She couldn't understand why it would need a source of energy … "How many people are usually guarding that place?"
To her surprise, Xueqin snorted. "Not a single one. I don't know why, but the people who used to approach the Black Tower have disappeared, including the soldiers guarding it, so there is no need to guard it. The Black Tower itself is its own guard. "
She spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. He turned his head away awkwardly so that Lin Sanjiu could only see the back of his head, "So, if you want to die, you can try."
"Oh," Lin Sanjiu replied subconsciously. She was still in shock.
A sharp siren sounded from afar, piercing through the dark night. Several ambulances drove over from afar, whizzing past his head, leaving a gust of wind behind.
This was the fifth batch of ambulances they had seen in the short 30 minutes since they came out of the arena. Occasionally, they would hear cries coming from some houses. It seemed that the severity of the radiation sickness was far more severe than Lin Sanjiu had expected.
Lin Sanjiu furrowed her brows. She had a vague feeling that something was amiss. However, the matter regarding the black tower was too strange. She couldn't spare any attention to catch that fleeting thought.
After turning a corner, a white conch-shaped building appeared in front of her. Lin Sanjiu's mind was completely occupied by the thing in front of her.
The white conch-shaped building had smooth curves. It looked clean and adorable, just like what she had seen outside the glass dome.
Lin Sanjiu stood in front of the building and took a deep breath. The mouthpiece shot out from her hand like a bolt of lightning. With a few leaps, it smashed four to five street lamps in the air. Then, she stepped forward and pressed a light button. She quickly turned around and waved at the escort. The escort put Xueqin down and walked over with another woman wearing a mask. They stood in front of the light button.
The light button soon lit up. A sleepy and angry middle-aged butler appeared on the screen, "Who is it so early in the morning?"
His gaze fell on the escort's military-grade radiation protection suit, and he paused for a moment. He paused for a moment and raised his chin, "Why is the military police here?"
As Bai Xiaoke's lips opened and closed, the escort replied in a cold voice, "… Because all the female Mutants will be executed in two hours, the commander specially ordered me to send the female Mutant that Mr. Guang likes to you first."
Once he finished speaking, he took off the mask of the woman beside him, revealing a pitiful face. It was Hui Chuyan.
When the butler saw the female contestant who was ranked first on the popularity chart and whose profile picture was plastered all over Garden of Eden, his eyes lit up. He no longer had any doubts, "Mr. Guang, when will you … Oh, okay, okay. I'll open the door now. Please wait for a moment —"
The two metal doors slid open and retracted into the building. The escort turned off the light button and waved his hand behind him. Then, he took the lead and dashed into the building.
It was a large, semi-dark hall. The butler, who was halfway down the stairs, suddenly saw dozens of people barging in like ferocious tigers. He was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run back. However, a black shadow flew from behind and pierced his chest. His corpse immediately rolled down the stairs.
Lin Sanjiu swung her mouthpiece and was about to swing it at a figure not far away when someone switched on the lights in the hall. The light shone on the figure, causing Lin Sanjiu to stop abruptly.
It was a lifelike female specimen. Her panicked expression was still frozen on her slightly youthful face.
There was a small hall set up around the fireplace. It was probably a place for guests to enjoy tea. There were more than ten specimens with different expressions on their faces. The only thing they had in common was the humiliating way they died.
"Go upstairs and catch that thing called Guang Zhu!" Lin Sanjiu heard her shout, and a series of angry replies immediately rang out from behind her. With her leading the group of women, they quickly rushed up the stairs.
The bodyguards who were armed with small weapons were nothing to her. When Lin Sanjiu rushed to the top floor and kicked open the golden bedroom door, the fat man named Guang Zhu was hurriedly stuffing things into a briefcase.
"Who sent you here? I will pay ten times the price — "
A shrill scream from a woman silenced his mouth. Just as the fat man was stunned, a figure pounced on him and slapped his face again and again. A heart-wrenching voice rang out, "Are you the one who wants to buy my specimen? You even killed my sister! Where is my sister? Where is she?! "
Hui Chuyan did not wear a hood. When the fat man saw her bloodshot eyes, his face instantly turned pale. However, his face did not stay pale for long. With the strength of a posthuman and Hui Chuyan's rage, after more than ten slaps, his face became a lump of rotten meat. His face became a pile of rotten flesh, hanging precariously from his broken skull.
The fat man was already dead, but Hui Chuyan did not seem to realize it. She still used all her strength to hit the fat man's corpse again and again. Lin Sanjiu sighed and pulled her back. Hui Chuyan was stunned for a moment. Then, she stopped and fell into Lin Sanjiu's arms, sobbing.
"My sister … came here before me … Because we have telepathy, so … so … I have experienced every bit of pain she went through …" Hui Chuyan's intermittent sobs made many people sigh.
"No wonder she was so scared. If anyone knew that they had to go through that kind of humiliation again, they would probably break down..."
"Everyone, calm down," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice. Her cold voice attracted everyone's attention. "The sisters downstairs are guarding the entrance and exit. Everyone, go and search around. Don't let the people here have a chance to call the police. As for the servants, it's up to you whether you want to tie them up or kill them. "
The dozen or so people responded loudly and quickly spread out.
To the committee of the Lunar New Year Tournament, it was fine as long as the female Posthumans could participate in the tournament alive. They didn't care about anything else. The group of people behind Lin Sanjiu, including Lin Sanjiu herself, were either covered in wounds or exhausted. Furthermore, it had been a few days since they last ate.
Even if they were wearing military uniforms, they wouldn't be able to go far with so many exhausted people. They urgently needed a place to recuperate. After thinking about it for a long time. Then, she thought of the sponsors.
According to Lin Sanjiu, it was time for them to sponsor the tournament.
Guang Zhu's death was not unjust at all. He seemed to be an avid fighter. In addition to specimens, he also collected many human body parts and high-definition videos. After everyone burned all these things, the women's agitated emotions gradually calmed down.
With Xu Wei leading the way, a few of them rolled up their sleeves and went to the kitchen. Some of them had even experienced a few matches and couldn't take it anymore, so they fell asleep next to the burning fireplace.
Ever since the first match, Lin Sanjiu's nerves had been tense. She hadn't slept a wink. She sat alone on a sofa in the corner and watched the dozens of women moving in and out of the hall.
A man came closer and sat down next to her. The sofa sank a little.
After some time, Gong Daoyi asked softly, "We can't enter the black tower anymore. How do you plan to destroy the glass dome?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't even look at him. Her eyes were still staring into the distance. Instead of answering his question, she asked, "Why did you betray Xueqin?"
"I had no choice. I didn't know her at that time … I didn't betray or betray her. "
Faced with such a frank attitude, Lin Sanjiu didn't know what to say.
In the distance, Xueqin was being carried on the escort's back. He was busy telling the others how to use the items.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know where it came from, but she heard a faint cry and the siren of an ambulance.
Lin Sanjiu's body trembled slightly. It was a movement that couldn't be captured by the naked eye, but Gong Daoyi noticed it.
"Even though this is a sinful and twisted society, there are still countless lives lost. Destroying the glass dome is equivalent to killing a living person with your own hands. You must be under a lot of pressure, right? " Gong Daoyi's gentle voice seemed to have a strange rhythm to it. The stress and fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days suddenly surged into Lin Sanjiu's brain.
"I heard that there are already close to a thousand people who have died due to radiation. Many of them are women and children … It's all thanks to the radiation you released." Gong Daoyi's gentle voice continued, "After living under the protective shield for so long, they lost the ability to deal with radiation sickness. When they died, they looked really pitiful …"
Gong Daoyi didn't know how long he had been talking to Lin Sanjiu. When he saw Lin Sanjiu's tightly shut eyes and her body curled into a ball, she lay motionless on the sofa. Gong Daoyi stood up gently and sighed.
"It's only at this level … Luckily, I made up my mind quickly," he mumbled to himself.
He muttered to himself and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, just as he took a step, he heard a cold voice behind him, "Stop."
Gong Daoyi was a little surprised. He turned around and saw Lin Sanjiu's eyes. Her eyes were red from crying, but they were cold and unwavering.
"I have to thank you for trying to hypnotize me. Instead, you reminded me of something important."
Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't move, a mouthpiece appeared in her hand. (To be continued.)
