Chapter 139: The Battle in the Colosseum
"Hey, what is this?gladiatorial arena?" Wang Zihao suddenly saw the paper in Wang Jie's hand: "Could it be that Brother Wang also likes to watch this kind of cruel gladiatorial fight?"
Wang Jie looked at Wang Zihao's slightly frowning brows and hurriedly explained: "No, no, this is the promotional page that the boss gave me just now, I have never seen it before." ”
"Haven't you seen it, let me take you to see it! There is endless darkness hidden under the prosperity of this gathering place!" Wang Zihao thought for a while, and suddenly said to Wang Jie.
Wang Jie paused slightly, looking at Wang Zihao's expression, it could be seen that Wang Zihao was not interested in this kind of cruel gladiatorial fight, but what Wang Jie didn't understand was that Wang Zihao actually invited him to go to the gladiatorial arena together.
"Okay, let's go and have a look!" But Wang Jie had already decided to go, so Wang Jie agreed to Wang Zihao's proposal, after all, he was not familiar with his life, and he didn't know that he had been sold!
After leaving the slave market with Wang Zihao, Wang Jie sat in Wang Zihao's luxury sports car and rushed all the way to the front of a building, Wang Jie looked at the building and was slightly stunned, this building should be a basketball court before the end.
"This is what you said about the gladiatorial arena, this building was a basketball stadium before, but then it was bought by a person and renovated into what it is now. Wang Zihao looked at the gladiatorial arena in front of him and said with some melancholy.
Wang Jie glanced at Wang Zihao with some surprise, and then set his eyes on the renovated gladiatorial arena: I saw that the appearance of the basketball hall was elegant and smooth, and it looked exceptionally beautiful, but on the new building outside the basketball hall, the bright and flickering machine gun made this basketball hall add an extra solemn atmosphere, which made people shudder.
"Let's go in!" After Wang Zihao parked the car, he took Wang Jie towards the gladiatorial arena, and after paying enough ticket money, the two strong men who guarded the door let Wang Jie and Wang Zihao enter the gladiatorial arena.
As soon as he entered the gladiatorial arena, the roar sounded loudly, and the strong lighting made Wang Jie squint, and only after Wang Jie got used to the lighting did he see what the modified gladiatorial arena looked like.
The basketball hoops in the stadium have all been removed, and a lot of obstacles have been placed in the very wide field, which are scattered in the dark red field, and there is no gladiatorial fight in the field at this time, only a dozen cleaning personnel are cleaning up the chaotic field, and it can be seen that Wang Jie has just finished a game when he came.
Wang Zihao took Wang Jie to choose a seat at random, but he didn't have to choose, because the stands that could accommodate 10,000 people had been almost crowded, and only the third row still had a large number of empty seats.
In the second row of the stands, there is a fence made of steel bars, which divides the stands and the gladiatorial arena in half, preventing the gladiators from escaping and preventing zombies from rushing to the stands and attacking spectators.
And the original third row naturally became the first row, because the gap in the steel fence is relatively large, so gladiators and zombies are likely to attack the third row, so almost no one in the entire third row chooses to sit, but Wang Jie and Wang Zihao are not afraid of these.
"Zihao, do you know anything about this gladiatorial arena? Wang Jie looked at it, and it would take a while before the next gladiatorial fight. So Wang Jie turned his head to Wang Zihao beside him and asked.
"Then I'll tell you about it!" Wang Zihao thought about it and began to explain the rules of the gladiatorial arena to Wang Jie.
"There are two kinds of regular gladiatorial fights in the gladiatorial arena, the first is the most common type of people fighting zombies, selecting a certain number of gladiators and then selecting a certain number of zombies, this value is calculated, and they are generally evenly matched, so that it is more interesting. This kind of gladiatorial fight usually takes place twice a day, one during the day and one at night. ”
"The second is the gladiatorial fight between people, which is divided into single gladiatorial combat and team gladiatorial fighting, single gladiatorial fighting, as the name suggests, is two gladiators fighting, and team gladiatorial is two teams of gladiators holding cold weapons to fight. There are generally no number of such gladiatorial fights, and as long as the audience's opinion is strong, they will be carried out. However, the Colosseum has a maximum of four gladiatorial fights a day."
Wang Jie nodded and said that he understood, but Wang Jie noticed that Wang Zihao was talking about regular gladiatorial fighting, since there are conventional gladiatorial fights, then there should also be unconventional gladiatorial fights, so Wang Jie told Wang Zihao his doubts.
Wang Zihao sighed and continued to explain: "Conventional gladiatorial fighting is a gladiatorial fight in which the two sides are equal in strength, and there is basically a little hope of survival, but unconventional gladiatorial fighting is different. ”
"In the gladiatorial arena, in order to give hope to the gladiators, the slave owner stipulated that any gladiator could engage in unconventional gladiatorial fights as long as he survived seven games, and as long as he survived, he could get out of the status of a gladiator and live a normal life with a large sum of money, but unfortunately no one could complete it!" the prince shook his head uncontrollably.
Wang Jie was silent, the fate of the gladiators was basically doomed, resisting? The turrets built around the basketball court would sweep these gladiators with cold weapons into a sieve as soon as possible, and if they didn't resist, it would still be a dead end, and endless battles would make any powerful warrior go to death.
Just when Wang Jie was thinking silently, the first gladiatorial fight of the night was about to start, and I saw a man dressed as a host shouting loudly in front of the prominent hosting platform: "Wow, our venue has finally been cleared, then our penultimate game today is about to start, I really want to express my thoughts generously, but it seems that the audience can't wait." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the stands, and the host took a deep breath and shouted, "I announce!"
With the host's words, a steel fence in the gladiatorial arena began to slowly open, and a strong man with a naked ~ shirt and only a boxer pants was pushed out by two armed men with firearms.
"This is Louie, the winner of our last fight, I don't need me to introduce you, I believe everyone knows how strong Louis is, he has won six games in a row before that, which is almost a miracle!" The host began to excitedly ~ introduce the gladiators who appeared.
The steel fence on the other side was also opened, and another strong man was also escorted to the middle of the stadium, the place where the two fought was in the middle of the stadium, once the game began, the two of them could only fight to the death, as long as they dared to escape from the center, the sniper above the stands would end his life!
"This is one of our newcomers, his name is Xiao Hao, his previous profession was a boxer, it can be said that he is a strong opponent, so can Louie create a miracle again in this game to complete a seven-game winning streak and then participate in the last battle of life and death tonight?
As the host's voice fell, some values began to dance on the big screens around the gladiatorial arena, and Wang Jie asked with some curiosity: "What do these values mean?"
Wang Zihao pouted at the people behind him, and Wang Jie looked back to see that all the audience were nervously holding a square and pressing something.
Wang Zihao stretched out his hand and handed Wang Jie an identical square, only to find out that this square turned out to be a thing placed on each seat. Wang Jie took the block curiously, only to see that there were a bunch of buttons on this thing, just like the previous button mobile phone, but it couldn't chat.
"This is called a bettor, as long as you insert your bank card ~ into it, you can bet through this better. If you look at the values on the screen now, Louie's odds are now 1.5 to 1, and Xiao Hao's odds are 1 to 3." Wang Zihao explained.
Wang Jie suddenly understood, it turned out that this is a gambling bettor, but think about it, how can a gladiatorial arena not do such a high-yield thing as Bo~Cai? If it is just relying on ticket money, the gladiatorial arena will close sooner or later.
Wang Jie asked curiously while inserting his card into it: "Who do you think has a better chance of winning this game?" I think it is Xiao Hao, right? After all, the people in the gladiatorial arena should not let Louis continue to win. You see so many bets on him, I'm afraid the casino is going to be a nest!"
Wang Zihao shook his head, he knew very well which Louis must win this game, and only in this way could the next game be able to further expand the benefits: "This game must be won by Louie, otherwise there will be no way to complete the next game!"
Wang Jie pursed his lips and didn't speak, no matter who won or lost, Wang Jie didn't think about betting.
"Okay! the betting is over, and the gladiatorial fight is ready to begin!" After a period of waiting, the original scrolling values on the screen have stopped smoothly, and the host immediately announces the start of the match.
The four armed men had already left the arena, and the two gladiators each took out their weapons and prepared for a life-and-death fight.
Louie's choice of weapon was a longer broadsword, while Xiao Hao's choice was a bladed finger tiger that he was more comfortable with!
Wang Jie shook his head as soon as he saw the weapon Xiao Hao chose, as the so-called one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, in a life-and-death struggle, a weapon like a finger tiger basically has no great chance of winning, after all, as long as Louie is not stupid and fights with him closely, then Xiao Hao and Ben can't beat Louie!
"Are you ready?" Louie clenched the big knife in both hands, and looked at Xiao Hao opposite with indifferent eyes, in his eyes, Xiao Hao on the other side was already a dead man, although he knew that it was useless to win this one, after all, the next one was a life and death battle that could not be won!
"Drink!" Xiao Hao didn't speak, but directly preemptively attacked Louie, and a pair of fingered tigers stabbed Louie's chest with a sharp light.
Louis didn't dodge at all, and directly slashed down, because the length of the big knife was much larger than that of the finger tiger, so if Xiao Hao continued to attack, then he would be split in half by Louie's big knife before stabbing Louie!
At this time, he could only stop attacking and find another way, but Xiao Hao's momentum was very strong, so Xiao Hao had no way to stop his steps all of a sudden! Everyone clenched their betting machines, could it be that Xiao Hao was going to die under the steel knife just now?
