Chapter 20: Parting Ways
Feeling that his lips were a little moist, Ling Long slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the resolute face of Meng Yan, the supreme fierce man.
A mouthful of water squirted out, Ling Long raised his hand and looked at his watch in embarrassment, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Meng, you won't be ...... What did you do to me, didn't you see the first aid?"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Meng and Luo Ying, who were originally sitting beside Ling Long, leaned back and said, "Ling Long, are you longing for something?"
Seeing the water bottle in Meng Yan's hand, Ling Long sat up and scratched his head, knowing that he had thought too much, and at the same time, the previous memories returned to the depths of Ling Long's mind like a tide.
"We escaped?" Ling Long looked back and forth, although everyone was a little tired, they were all fine.
"It was we who won. Wu Meng stretched his waist and yawned, "It really took a lot of effort to get these 20 ranking points." ”
"It's good to win......" Ling Long thought to himself, as long as he lived, it didn't matter to him whether he was divided or not.
Standing up and moving his body, Ling Long couldn't help but grin in pain, in fact, compared to Meng Yan and Wu Meng, Ling Long's injuries were not serious, but because of Luo Ying's ability on him before, his physical burden was too great, which caused Ling Long's physical strength to be overdrawn in a very short period of time.
Accidentally touching a medical device, Ling Long also realized that everyone was hiding in the dilapidated hospital outside the city center at this time. Looking out through the window, countless drones were hovering back and forth in the dark night sky, and the bright moonlight entered the house, reflecting everyone's physically and mentally exhausted figures.
"Tomorrow is the last day of this Heavenly Punishment Battle......" Wu Meng leaned against the edge of a broken hospital bed, fiddling with a few newly searched scalpels in his hands, "I think we may really have the strength to compete for the championship." ”
As if talking to herself, her statement did not let everyone express any opinions, and after being silent for a long time, Wu Meng spoke again: "Ling Long, what do you think?"
Looking at the numbers on the different watch, Ling Long fell into deep thought, according to the numbers, there were still 120 people alive in their area, which meant that after the cruel competition in the first two days, only one-third of the survivors were left, and tomorrow they would have to face the Demon King Battle that they had never seen before......
"Brother Meng, when you participated in the Heavenly Punishment Battle before, how many people would survive in the end?" Ling Long ignored Wu Meng's question, and instead asked Meng Yan the doubts in his heart.
Meng Yan pinched the water bottle, thought for a while, and said: "The first time I participated in the Heavenly Punishment was also a coming-of-age ceremony, there were not so many people in each competition area at that time, and I was divided into the student group, and there were only more than 100 people in total. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Meng Yan continued: "At that time, it was also a three-day fight, but maybe because everyone was a student, they were still quite friendly to each other, not the kind that they were not used to seeing each other on weekdays...... At the end of the game, most of the students will be able to come back safely. ”
"What if the points are zero, won't they be wiped out?"
"Anyway, the one I attended wouldn't ...... Obliteration or something seems to be a new rule that only appeared in this event, right?"
After listening to Meng Yan's explanation, Ling Yi basically had a rough guess in his heart: this Heavenly Punishment Battle is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, first of all, this grouping is very strange, he and Wu Meng and Luo Ying should all be in the student group, but none of the enemies encountered so far look like students of the same age, they are even more cruel and ruthless...... This Heavenly Punishment Battle didn't look like a trial at all for these students, it was simply a massacre.
Secondly, the so-called 0-point obliteration rule is simply a combat catalyst placed to make everyone cannibalistic, forcing all participants in the competition area to have blood on their hands in order to survive, this kind of rule is simply terrifying, like an organized selection of the best and the worst.
In the end, the decreasing speed of this number is too fast, the rewards of the Demon King Battle are so rich, it stands to reason that all participants with positive points should focus their next energy on the last three hours of Heavenly Punishment, but at present, it seems that this is not the case, all the participants seem to be enjoying this battle, even Wu Meng, and even the original Luo Ying......
Thinking of this, Ling Long had a bold guess in his heart: maybe everyone had been deceived by this Heavenly Punishment War from the beginning, and it was very likely that this was a testing ground launched by some people in order to complete some kind of experiment!
It's a pity that Ling Long himself doesn't know how he was thrown here, and in his last memory, there are only those two weirdos wearing yin and yang masks, and after waking up, they inexplicably entered this Heavenly Punishment Battle. And from his coma to his awakening, from his coming-of-age ceremony to the heavenly punishment battle, there was a blank period of up to three days!
But even so, everything was just Ling Long's speculation, and he really hoped that this was just a simple trial, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart......
"Hey!"
Wu Meng's coquettish shout made Ling Long wake up instantly: "What's wrong?"
"I said, are you sure of tomorrow's Demon King Battle?" Wu Meng glanced at Ling Long, and secretly scolded this kid for not listening to himself at all.
Without waiting for Ling Long to answer, Meng Yan preemptively said, "I think it's better to hide tomorrow." ”
"Hide?" Wu Meng looked at him in disbelief, "It's not that you haven't heard, you don't need to work as hard as you do today, as long as your strength is recognized by the Demon King...... We even defeated Qingluan, who was in the fifteenth place in Hurricane City A!"
Seeing that Wu Meng's emotions seemed to be a little excited, Meng Yan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not just me, Xiaoying's ability has basically been overdrawn, and she can't recover at all without ten days and half a month...... And to be honest, that kind of honorary reward is not that important to us......"
"Honorary rewards?" Wu Meng stood up and looked at Luo Ying in disbelief, "That's the wealth that many people can't work hard for in their lives, you ......"
"Forget it!"
Ling Long suddenly interrupted Wu Meng's words, and silently got up and shook Meng Yan's hand: "Brother Meng, then you must take care of yourself next." ”
Meng Yan nodded with satisfaction, and patted Ling Long's shoulder again: "You two too, there is only one day left, don't force it, retreat when you should retreat." ”
"Yes. ”
Wu Meng heard the conversation between Ling Long and Meng Yan, sat on the hospital bed weakly, and looked at Luo Ying with the last bit of expectation: "Do you think so too?"
Feeling the anticipation in Wu Meng's eyes, Luo Ying lowered her head silently: "I'm very happy to be able to meet you in just one day, and we will meet again in the future, we are still friends." ”
Seeing Wu Meng's disappointed look, Ling Long smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Meng and Luo Ying should have the right to choose their own future, no matter what, we will bless you." ”
Hearing Ling Long say this, Luo Ying wiped her eyes and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you." ”
