Chapter 128
The arena, which was usually overlit during the matches, was now dark . The pale yellow light streaming from the few weak spotlights barely pierced through the darkness, illuminating a small area . There were about a few dozen guards guarding the place . Their sergeant sat in a chair in a carefree manner, with his hands crossed . He had already fallen asleep . Other than a small patrolling team, the other guards crouched down to rest, and some even started smoking and chatting quietly .
It had already been a couple of hours, but the female Posthumans remained in their capsules without showing any odd behavior . The soldiers who had maintained their high vigilance throughout the night were starting to feel a little tired . "It’s okay to rest, but I don’t want any of you to let down your guard . Keep your eyes on those capsules," the sergeant who had been sitting motionless suddenly spoke . It immediately got the guards attention and they all replied with a "Yes, sir!"
For a split second, Lin Sanjiu thought that they had spotted her . She held her breath and waited for some time . After confirming that the guards weren't planning anything, she half-crouched as she walked stealthily between the space of two capsules, signaling for the women in the capsules to keep quiet . She had five minutes before the guards started patrolling again . Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment before she pressed both hands on the floor and activated her [Mosaic Censorship] . Boom! Concrete flew everywhere and a shallow hole appeared .
"What’s that sound? Team three, investigate!" the sergeant stood up instantly, yelling at his men with his rough voice .
"Sir, the sound came from the capsule containment area but we can’t see it clearly!"
Lin Sanjiu felt her throat tightened . The patrolling guards did not enter the containment area when they were patrolling . They basically just walked outside the electric net and swept their flashlights through the area . However, it was vital for her to lure them inside . . .
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to use her stupid method again . She waited for some time . Once the flashlight from the patrolling team disappeared above her head, she created another small hole on the floor .
This time, the people outside could no longer neglect it .
"Inform the control room to switch off the High Energy Deflector Barrier . Team three, Team four, go in there are find out the source of that noise . Remember to release the safety locks on your weapons . "
[So it’s called High Energy Deflector Barrier…] Lin Sanjiu watched as the electric net grew faint and vanished instantly . A total of twenty soldiers from the two teams carried their heavy weapons and stepped into the capsule containment area cautiously . As the light from their headlamps flashed across the capsules, they found nothing wrong . All the women were resting quietly in their capsules . They walked around the containment area twice and finally shouted that there was no problem . After that, the twenty guards walked out of the containment area and the High Energy Deflector Barrier was once again erected .
The two teams returned to their guarding positions and continued watching the capsule containment area .
"That’s weird . What made that noise…" the sergeant mumbled to himself . After contemplating, he returned to his chair and activated the screen on his wristband and decided to report the incident to his superior . However, before he could send out his message, he suddenly felt someone touching his shoulder . Following which, he heard a soft cold female voice from behind, "Have you seen me in the tournament?"
The sergeant, Nanders, froze, and goosebumps instantly appeared on his skin .
"Don’t move . Let me introduce myself . I am Contestant 97, Lin Sanjiu . " When he felt her breath on his neck, it was as if Death was leaning on his shoulders, "Right now, both my hands are on you . "
Nanders could not remember the number of duoluozhongs that had exploded into pieces in a blood mist once Contestant 97 touched them . He opened his mouth dryly but didn’t say a word .
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Even though the place was quite dim, other guards noticed the odd behavior of the particular guard who was standing way too close to the sergeant and one of them shouted, "Go back to your post!"
When Nanders felt the hands exerted more force on his shoulders, he hurriedly replied with cold sweat pouring, "I . . . I told him to give me a massage . Mind your own business!"
The person who spoke quickly kept quiet, while other laughed, "Sergeant, if you like this . Why don’t you buy some male mutates back…"
Nanders did not process any of those teasing words or laughter, he could only hear the voice by his ear whispering, "How obedient…"
"I . . . I will do whatever you want…" It was difficult for him to control his volume when his voice was quivering so much . He had to stop a couple of times as he continued, "Don’t kill me . I never killed any mutates…"
"Alright, I need you to switch off that High Energy Deflector Barrier . "
Nanders felt as though there was a large black hole behind him . If he was not careful, he would be sucked in and he wouldn’t even have an intact corpse… He gave a dry cough and contacted the people in the control room . Even the other party was rather annoyed, he managed to convince the person that they had to recheck the containment area just to be on the safe side .
After a minute, the electric net surrounding the capsule containment area vanished .
Noticing this abnormality, many of the guards stood up and someone even asked, "Sir, why did you switch off the barrier? Do we have to check one more time?"
Nanders paused and but did not receive additional orders from the person behind him . He gritted his teeth and laughed wryly, "It is almost dawn . I just received orders from the head, you all can go back now…"
The guards kept still for two seconds . Suddenly, another leader waved his hands and all of the guards surrounded both Nanders and Lin Sanjiu while they deactivated the safety locks on their weapons .
"The sergeant has been taken hostage!" one of the men yelled .
Nanders exploded in his chair and became a mixture of torn clothes and splattered flesh the next second . Multiple laser beams were immediately fired at the chair and the small area where both persons were .
[Such firepower should have killed the target, right?] while that was what everyone thought, the yellow light above them went dim for a second . This was when they realized that someone had flipped over their heads . However, before they could take aim again, cries filled the air as a snake-like shadow swept across the men’s necks . Blood erupted from their necks as several heads, still in their hazmat helmets, flew to the far end of the arena and fell noisily on the floor .
The guards who were still alive quickly aimed their guns at the fleeting shadow above their heads but they were all too nervous after watching their colleagues being killed . Besides, Lin Sanjiu’s speed far exceeded any normal person's . When she finally landed on her feet, none of the men were left standing .
