Chapter 18: Mutation! Memory Awakening
When the first rays of morning light lifted the veil that had been hidden for a long time, the floodgates on the other side of the passage that should have been opened were not opened.
Vadubo stood up suddenly, for he heard a stumble of hurried footsteps outside, and then there was no sound, and Russell leaned in, and he was stunned, "Captain, what's wrong?"
"We'll find out right away. Wadubo looked at the gate with a wary expression, and he raised his voice, "Tell everyone not to disperse. He instinctively felt that something had happened, and now that the team's weapons had been returned to the weapon rack, they were all bare-handed, but they would not sit idly by in case of an unexpected incident that threatened their lives.
The sound of the winch turning was clearly transmitted in the passage, and the gate was suddenly raised a little, revealing a crack, and the golden light came in from the outside, and countless dust could be clearly seen falling, and a figure could be faintly detected walking outside.
After a pause, the gate continued to rise again, as if the person who opened it was trying, and in the harsh friction sound, the gate finally began to rise sharply, gradually rising higher and higher, and then fell into the top card slot with a thud, and was firmly fixed.
The golden light of the morning sun covered the entire passage like water.
A figure stepped out of the light, and he stood firmly on the stone slab of the passageway, and stepped on it with his foot, making two muffled sounds, as if feeling the hard texture, and the echo echoed all the way to the far other end.
His face with his back to the light looked a little blurred, and he looked at the Wadubo team that was gradually coming together, he raised his two fists and waved them, "Friends, you are free!"
Vadubo sneered and said, "What are you kidding?" The other team members looked at each other, only Luo Lan's heart moved, and he felt that this person's voice seemed to be somewhat familiar.
And Stitch didn't lift his head from the beginning, curled up listlessly to the side.
The man held up a hand to signal him not to be loud, and he pointed outside and said, "Listen!"
There was silence outside, but after a while, the sound of rustling came from all directions of the arena, and these sounds were only in the far corners at first, but they were getting closer and louder as if they were contagious, and soon spread to the vicinity, gradually converging into a torrent, like countless people roaring and shouting, mixed with the sound of chaotic footsteps and the crash of blades, all of which began to slowly boil like boiling water.
As the voice grew clearer, Wadubo could clearly hear someone shouting "freedom" and "kill out".
"I didn't lie to you. The man slowly took a few steps forward and said sincerely, "Introduce myself, my name is Ada, a member of the Free Aid Society, and I am here to help you escape from the arena." β
As he walked in, his face became clearer and clearer.
Luo Lan's eyes were shocked. After seeing this person, he no longer had any doubts that this person was actually Ada, the guide who introduced him to Kacamillai when he first entered this arena city!
He is actually a member of the Free Mutual Aid Society? From the information of the Mask Man, I learned that this organization is an anti-religious group, they are a group of atheists, most of their members are either slaves, or some learned scholars, but at present, their power is limited to the coastal swamp tribe, because here is the sea to the south, there is infinite depth of space to hide from religious forces, and the swamp tribe is very mixed, which is also very conducive to their development.
The middle-aged man asked him to sneak in here to find out about the Mutual Aid Society's plan, and it seems that they have already launched it at this moment.
Ada noticed that Wadubo and the others did not move, and hurriedly urged: "Come with me, we just cut off the ropeway on the upper level of the arena, and the longer the time drags on, the less hope of escaping will be slim." β
As the voices outside grew more and more noisy, Vadubo finally made up his mind, he took a deep breath, turned his head and said, "From now on, I am no longer your captain. He looked at the faces of all the players one by one, and said loudly: "You can choose whether to go with him or not." β
The dwarf Andu sniffed and let out a happy yell, "Haha!
Russell stood up and said suspiciously: "Wait, Athletic City is so big, we need to know, where to escape?"
Ada hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course you can't leave from the outside." Not to mention that there are countless ropeways, as well as countless traps and gates, so we have to go from the underground area. β
"Underground?" Vadulbo and Russell looked at each other, both looking surprised.
"Yes, there's a passage to the harbor!" Ada glanced at the crowd, turned and walked out, "If you want to go, come with me." β
Hearing the three words of the underground area, Luo Lanpi jumped slightly, and he followed the footsteps of this person without hesitation.
The underground area is exactly where he is going.
Sticky stood up lazily and walked out with the group.
The world in the Athletic City has become a mess, countless slaves have poured out of the closed cells and areas, frantically rushing into the arsenal and the merchant and residential areas, slaughtering those who usually sit in the stands and control their life and death, frantically venting the violent emotions that have been shackled for a long time, the death row inmates in different areas are still fighting each other due to friction, plus there are many free teams trying to rush out at this moment, the situation is extremely chaotic, and the corpses of low-level forbidden deacons can be seen twisted and fallen to the ground everywhere, and pools of blood are smeared all over the stone walls and roadsγ In addition to the Imperial Zone, riots broke out in the Duel, Conquest, and Glory Zones.
Ada handed each of them a red crystal emblem and told them to wear it.
Luo Lan took it and saw that it was the spar emblem that he casually abandoned that day, and it seemed that the Free Aid Association had indeed been prepared.
The group rushed out of the passage and ran along the edge of the arena's stands in the direction of the Great Cliff Pillar in the center of the Arena. At this moment, a squad of more than a dozen people in the arena was slaughtering all the creatures they saw in their sight, whether it was the deacon or the slaves in the arena, they were all under their hands into unrecognizable pieces, and the field was covered in blood.
Ada glanced at it, quickened his pace, and said, "That's the Hell Squad, the team you were supposed to fight today. β
As he was running, Russell suddenly felt no footsteps behind him, he looked back and said, "Sticky, let's go!"
Sidick looked at the blood all over the ground with a strange smile on his face, as if he didn't hear what he was shouting for.
Russell was in a hurry and was about to go up and pull him, but was grabbed by Vadubo, who shook his head and said, "He has his choice." β
The shouts and fighting around became stronger and stronger, and dense black spots could already be seen in the sky, but the flying demonic beasts that were gradually approaching from the high cliff were only hovering in the sky above, and there was no army in the Athletic City, and the Forbidden Deacon alone could not suppress such a large-scale riot, so they had to wait for the garrison outside the city to enter.
However, a few of them noticed the strange movements of Luo Lan's team, and they pounced in a flash.
The wind suddenly roared overhead.
It wasn't until he got closer that Luo Lan discovered that it was a giant demonic beast similar to a bat, with wings full of fine fluff.
Ada was in a hurry, pointed ahead, and shouted, "The way out is in the cave of the cliff pillar ahead." Let's go!"
Luo Lan looked ahead, and an iron ropeway appeared about a hundred meters in front of him, and the cliff pillars that originally seemed to stand as straight as pillars in the distance had filled the entire line of sight, and the rough rock texture was cold and hard. Without instructions, the obscure and rather hidden cavern, which had been dug out of the cliff face, would not have been easy to find.
A large shadow fell over him, and the Spellmaster Aredin suddenly stopped, staring at the sky without saying a word, and pointed his hand at it.
There was a cold muffled snort overhead, and the flying demonic beast also screamed, and then it slammed it up, turning into a small black dot in the blink of an eye.
Aredin's expression was sluggish, his body shook a few times, and he was carried by the dwarf Andu behind him, muttering something in his mouth, and rushed into the cave with everyone.
A downward staircase stretched down darkly, and there was no stuffiness in the passage where only three people could walk side by side.
Ada was very familiar with his surroundings, and he moved quickly, without stopping at all: "After escaping from the underground area, I will lead you out to sea." β
Vadubo suddenly asked, "How many are there?"
Ada was silent for a moment and said, "There are more than 10,000 slaves and death row prisoners in the arena, and we have no ability to take them away, but we have given them weapons, and we have spent a lot of money just to rescue some people who are worthy of rescue, including you, there are only about a hundred people. β
However, at this time, as soon as he stepped into the cave in the underground area, this scene suddenly hit Luo Lan's eyes, and he suddenly stood still.
It was as if something was passing in front of me, and then a series of images filled in the blank areas of my mind like filling.
When he woke up, there was a strange glint in his eyes.
His memories are back!
