"Contestant 97, what's your name?"
"None of your business. Tomato w-w`w`.x`f`q`x-s`w. "
After the woman with the cold expression said that, the camera suddenly turned black. Some of the audience members who knew about the competition pointed at the big screen and said, "Every year, there will be some disobedient contestants. They are being dragged away to be taught a lesson."
"Oh," the people in the bar suddenly understood.
"That contestant 97 really needs a lesson …" someone commented in a low voice, his breath reeking of alcohol.
"Damn it. She thinks she's so high and mighty. That's the most annoying thing about mutated humans," a voice chimed in.
There were rows of mechanical arms hanging from the ceiling of the bar. The mechanical arms were smooth chutes, and they were methodically transporting various types of alcohol to the customers. A hand took a blue cocktail from the chutes and raised it. The owner of the hand did not drink it. Instead, he asked the experienced person, "How do they usually teach her a lesson?"
"Hehehe, there are many ways. It all depends on the mood of the smuggler who brought her in," a middle-aged man said. He grabbed the bottle and took a gulp, "Just wait and see. That woman will show up again later. When that time comes, she will have to be obedient and say whatever she wants."
When he put the bottle down, the silver ring on his left ring finger glowed slightly.
The man holding the blue cocktail was completely hidden in a long robe, and his face could not be seen clearly. His gaze stopped on the middle-aged man's hand, but he did not say anything. Then, he looked at the big screen.
As if to prove the middle-aged man's words, the pink-faced host opened his light yellow lips and smiled widely, "I'm sorry. Contestant 97 probably wasn't prepared just now. She was a little nervous. Now, let's let her relax. Let's take a look at contestant 98 … Ah, what a cute little girl. How old are you? "
The man wrapped in the long robe took a sip of his drink and listened to the trembling girl's reply, "14 years old."
Just as Garden of Eden cheered for the young contestant, Lin Sanjiu was dragged by her hair into another room, just as the middle-aged man had predicted. Sandwhale grabbed Lin Sanjiu by her hair and dragged her into another room with her chair.
The door slammed shut with a loud bang. Lin Sanjiu and the chair behind her were thrown to the ground. Sandwhale looked at her and sneered.
"You think you're pretty awesome, huh?" His tone was cold, with the cruelty of a cold-blooded animal. "Did I mention it? Those who offend me usually don't have a good ending … "
The Sand Whale's pupils shrank into thin slits under the rage of the enraged man. "If you hadn't given me a number and showed your face, I would have cut off your limbs … Now, what should I do with you?"
As he spoke, he walked toward Lin Sanjiu.
Unexpectedly, the woman on the ground didn't show any signs of fear.
Lin Sanjiu lifted her hand that was tied to the back of the chair. She tried to bend her wrist and felt her fingertips touching the rope. She smiled at Sand Whale. "Have you heard of Route 300?"
He was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. However, the next second, Sand Whale's eyes almost popped out. He saw that the woman in front of him had climbed up from the ground and was calmly patting the dust off her pants. The black rope that had tied her up a moment ago was gone.
He looked at the empty ground dumbfoundedly and took a step back.
"Are you looking for this?" Lin Sanjiu waved a card in her hand at him.
It was a white card with a decorative pattern. In the middle of the card, there was a black rope drawn in a childish style. At first glance, it looked like a meaningless black ball of string. There were a few rows of small words written below it.
"I have to thank you for giving me the chance to get it." She glanced at the card with satisfaction.
Description: Developed and produced by the Garden of Eden Laboratory, it can effectively restrain a posthuman's "Enhanced Physique" ability, making them no different from a normal person. The rope itself is made of a special soft alloy that can withstand up to two tons of tension. Out of the personal interest of the developer, the alloy is wrapped in a layer of black leather.
"No wonder. Even without the radiation damage, the rope wouldn't budge no matter how hard I struggled …" Lin Sanjiu smiled. "Sand Whale, right? Now you should tell me what's going on with this competition, right? "
Sand Whale's face darkened. Without saying a word, he pressed on his waist. However, what made him startled was that after he pressed it down, there was not the slightest reaction from his entire body. Just as his heart was thumping, a shadow had already attacked in front of him. Following that, it was as if his chest had been hit by a giant pillar. His sternum made a series of cracking sounds, and he did not know how many of them had already been broken.
Lin Sanjiu pulled her leg back and watched calmly as Sand Whale fell to the ground, clutching his chest with a look of disbelief on his face.
The moment she kicked him, she suddenly understood the meaning of the term "Growth-type".
Sand Whale had been through countless apocalyptic worlds. Both his Advanced Ability and his Basic Ability must have leveled up more than once. However, he was severely injured by Lin Sanjiu's attack. How could that be?
If the physical fitness of a normal person was 1, then after gaining Enhanced Physique, that number would increase to 2. Lin Sanjiu's Enhanced Physique increased her number to 25.
Normally, a posthuman would have to level up their Basic Ability over and over again to increase their Physique from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, and so on. If Sand Whale had leveled up 4 times, then his Physique would be 5. However, Lin Sanjiu was still 25, so she shouldn't be a threat to Sand Whale. Unfortunately, she was a Growth-type.
While Lin Sanjiu was struggling to survive in all kinds of dangerous situations, her [Enhanced Stamina] was slowly but surely growing without any upgrade. Every day, her body would undergo some minor changes. Her muscles were stronger, her joints were tougher, her grip strength was higher...
However, these changes were covered up by the radiation damage. When Lin Sanjiu entered the glass sphere city, she suddenly realized that her body was rejuvenated and full of power.
Of course, Sand Whale didn't know the reason behind this. He was so shocked that he coughed out a mouthful of blood. When he saw that Lin Sanjiu was walking towards him, he gritted his teeth and jumped up.
Without saying a word, Lin Sanjiu swung her arm, and a mouthpart swept forward. Its sharp teeth sliced through the air, creating a whistling sound as it struck the man's chest. However, to her surprise, the man's chest suddenly exploded with a bang, and the mouthpart pierced through the sand.
She retracted her mouthpart and the sand quickly turned back into flesh and blood. Sand Whale was not injured at all.
"No matter what weapon you use, you can't hurt me," Sand Whale spat. Sand Whale spat, "You succeeded just now because I didn't react in time …"
As it turned out, he was not exaggerating. Lin Sanjiu attacked him a few times in a row, but no matter which part of his body she attacked, his body would always turn into dust in the next second. Her mouthparts were useless against him.
"Haha, is this your best attack?" Sand Whale glared at her, his eyes vicious. "It's my turn now, you b * tch!"
Before he could finish his sentence, both of his arms had already turned into sand with a whoosh. Like a tornado, they formed two sandstorms and charged toward Lin Sanjiu. Every grain of sand carried the force of a thousand pounds. If it hit a person's body, they would immediately lose their human form. However, the most dangerous thing was that the sandstorm was not easy to dodge.
Sand Whale had killed many people with this attack. They all looked different when they were alive, but they all looked the same after they died. They were all twisted, perforated, and bloody things.
Even if the people from Garden of Eden were unhappy, he couldn't be bothered. The enraged Sand Whale wanted nothing more than to see Lin Sanjiu turn into the same thing.
Lin Sanjiu was indeed in danger. Relying on her strong physical fitness and speed, she changed her position several times in a row and narrowly avoided the edge of the sandstorm. However, the room was only so big. Soon, she ran out of space.
If she was hit by the sand, she wouldn't have a chance to survive. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She looked around the room and suddenly made up her mind. She stomped her feet and rushed towards Sand Whale.
Was he trying to lure the sandstorm over so that she wouldn't attack him? The Sand Whale instantly understood what she was trying to say, and he smiled.
"Hahaha, are you stupid? If my hands can turn into a sandstorm, of course, my body can too! "
As he laughed loudly, his chest and abdomen suddenly turned into an even bigger ball of sand and pounced towards Lin Sanjiu. This time, there was a sandstorm in front of her and behind her, forming a pincer attack. This made her situation even more dangerous.
At this point, there was no longer any suspense. Under the two sandstorms, there was no way this woman could have survived.
"Oh, the noise in the room is very loud!"
The pink-faced man, who had just finished introducing the contestants and was waiting for Lin Sanjiu, said to the people around him excitedly. At this moment, the camera had returned to the broadcasting studio where the female host was. He was a little bored, so he took out a light yellow lipstick to touch up his makeup and said with a smile, "I hope your boss will go easy on her this time. Otherwise, it won't be good if she appears on TV in a bloodied mess …"
"Ahem, are you people from Garden of Eden afraid of that?"
"No, of course not. But, without the contrast of her perfect appearance, the effect won't be as shocking in the future …"
Before the pink-faced man could finish his sentence, the room suddenly fell silent.
"Is it over?"
Sand Whale's subordinates, the soldiers with all kinds of weapons, the eight frightened women … Everyone in the room turned to look at the door at the same time.
A few small cameras immediately flew to the front of the door under the control of someone and aimed at it.
On the screen, the female host seemed to have just found out something. She quickly explained to the audience. The camera switched to the small camera, and the scene was captured in front of the changing room.
The whole of Garden of Eden was waiting for Number 97 to appear again.
After a while, the door finally opened slowly.
Two legs stained with blood walked out from behind the door. His combat pants were torn into strips and they hung on his legs, unable to cover the large wounds. Looking up from the top of his pants, his upper body and face were unharmed.
His calm and arrogant face wasn't the main point. The main point was that Number 97 walked out of the room unscathed.
The small camera seemed to have frozen. Everyone was so shocked that they forgot to speak. Lin Sanjiu smiled and dragged something out from behind the door. She threw it on the ground.
It was Sand Whale's corpse. He was missing a large piece of his chest and his shoulder was empty.
Seeing the soldiers holding their weapons, Lin Sanjiu smiled calmly, "I volunteer to participate in the 28th Lunar New Year Fighting Tournament in Garden of Eden. I am Contestant 97, Lin Sanjiu."
