Chapter Eighty-Five: Monsters Underground
Hemingway clasped the philtrum under the unconscious Nero's nose with the thumb of one hand, and stretched out his other hand to "snap" several acupuncture points on Nero's body, Nero muttered a few times, and gradually opened his sleepy eyes.
"Wake up, he's awake!" said Ping An happily when he saw Nero wake up.
"Anping," Nero opened his eyes and saw peace for the first time, and asked him, "Have I already lost?"
"You've done a great job. Hemingway said to Nero with a smile.
"Uncle. Hearing Hemingway's voice, Nero turned his face to Hemingway and saw the familiar amiable smiling face.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful," Ping An praised.
"Where, I still lost, but then again, Anping, you can put me down, I'm fine. Nero said to Ping An with a smile.
"Oh. Ping An hurriedly put Nero down.
"Uncle Hemingway, can you tell me how I fainted?" "Nero still remembered his failures, wanting to know what he had lost so that he could improve.
"No problem, I'll explain it to you in detail. Hemingway was also very happy, he liked this kind of motivated and hard-working young people.
As night fell, the lights came on, and as the match between Hemingway and Nero ended, the originally noisy arena finally quieted down.
"All eight matches in the first round have all ended, and the eight players who have broken through after a hard fight are: Gitels, Anping, Fuxing, Catwoman, Ye Fei, Gatling, Hegel and Hemingway. According to the rules of the competition, the list of matches in the second round is as follows: Gitels vs. Anping, Fuxing vs. Catwoman, Ye Fei vs. Gatlin, Hegel vs. Hemingway. Today's game is here for the time being, the second round of the game will be held early tomorrow morning, please arrive at the specified time, the organizing committee of the competition has arranged accommodation for all the players, I hope the players can rest well, continue tomorrow's wonderful game, but also thank the audience for coming, the Bazak Arena will always be the stage for you to realize your dreams, thank you, goodbye. "Miss Host announced that today's competition is all over. The audience left one after another. The players on the side of the arena also withdrew from the player tunnel under the arrangement of the organizing committee of the competition, and Ping'an, Nero and Hemingway also went to find Mi Guo together, and the huge Bazak arena was suddenly deserted.
Many of the players injured during the match were transferred to government hospitals for treatment, while others were accommodated in a large hotel not far from the arena.
The hotel arranged rooms and dinner for these players, and Zhu Ping'an simply took a shower in the room, and then lay on the bed and enjoyed a rare and comfortable time.
Just when Ping An was just lying on the bed, a dark shadow flashed outside the window, and Ping An, who had been trained and had grown enough, suddenly felt it, he quickly got up, hid vigilantly, and watched the movement outside the window in the corner.
At this moment, the window was suddenly pushed open, and a figure jumped in like a civet cat, Zhu Ping'an's hand was fast, and an arrow rushed out, and with a flick of one hand, a white snake-shaped air flow came out, and it was wrapped around the black shadow at once, and the black shadow had not had time to react, Zhu Ping'an was extremely fast, and had already come behind him, stretched out his right hand, buckled it around the person's neck, and was ready to use his ability to subdue the other party at any time.
"So skilled!" the man's voice rang out, making Ping An feel familiar. He was so excited that he quickly let go of his hand, walked around to the front of the man, and said happily, "Where have you been?"
It turned out that it was none other than Spider-Woman Laura Mister. Mister smiled and said to Ping An: "It's not a small progress, not only can I protect myself, but I have also become more cautious and alert!"
"I've been looking for you and Brother Qin Yi from the beginning to the end of the game, have you seen my game?" asked Ping An anxiously.
"Of course, Qin Yi and I both watched your game, and you performed very well. The spider girl smiled and said to Ping An, in fact, she lied, she and Qin Yi did not go to watch Ping An's game, but went to other places to conduct a secret investigation.
"Not only did I make it to the finals, but I also made it to the quarterfinals, and I never dreamed that I would be able to do this much. Ping An really hopes that someone can share his achievements and happiness with him.
"Yes, Qin Yi and I know that you will definitely be able to do it, not only because you have the ability of my Lord Six Dao Lord, but also because you have cultivated hard, made efforts that ordinary people can't pay, and endured pain that ordinary people can't bear, so we believe that you will definitely be able to enter the finals. Laura was also very happy to have won.
"Also, also, I made a couple of good friends in the game. For Ping An, what happened today was so exciting and wonderful, so different from his previous life, that he couldn't wait to tell Laura all these things in one go.
"Wait, listen. Ping'an's excitement was interrupted by Laura.
Ping An was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Laura had something important to tell him.
"Do you know the real secret of this Bazak Arena?" asked Laura, asking a stern question.
"Qin Yi and I sneaked under the Bazak Arena when you were competing, which is not only a huge underground space, but also not only those reinforced concrete and electronic machinery, but also secrets that outsiders can't know. ”
"Secret?" Ping An was stunned.
"Yes, the Bazak Arena holds an elite selection tournament in the name of the government every year, so that evolutionaries from all over the world have come here, and most of the winners or survivors among them have been recruited by the world coalition government and become the so-called elite of the world coalition government, but more evolutionaries with abilities have died here. However, the government has never made public or revealed the whereabouts of the bodies. In fact, these dead evolutionaries were swallowed up by the Bazak Arena. Laura told Ping An the shocking secret.
"Engulfed?" Ping'an's head "buzzed" and he had a very bad premonition.
"That's right, Qin Yi and I found a monster in the Bazak Arena, and that monster was trapped in a huge alchemy array. Did you know that there is something called the Sanctuary in this world, which is a magical substance that has been extracted from dead evolutionaries using alchemy? It can neutralize or even restrain the ability of the evolutionary, so the World Coalition Government and the Four Demon King Rebel Organizations are all rushing to it, dreaming of obtaining this huge wealth, whoever has it, the more it has, the greater the power of whomever will be able to take the initiative in the war. ”
"Originally, we all thought that the government opened this Bazak Arena to recruit talents and absorb the world's elites for its own use, and later, we thought that the government held the competition to try to eliminate all kinds of evolutionaries in the world to the greatest extent, and then refine those dead evolutionaries into a large number of sanctuaries and become the necessary combat materials for the world coalition government. However, today we finally know that the above is too simple for us to think. They fed the dead evolutionaries to a giant monster. At this, Laura began to tremble.
"Laura, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Ping'an saw Laura have such a reaction for the first time, you know, as the personal maid of the first six realms of the Heavenly Snake King, one of the four demon kings of the year, she has never seen any scene, and it is unimaginable that she can be frightened and tremble by a so-called monster.
"That monster, it's terrifying, Qin Yi and I saw him swallow the corpse of the dead evolutionary and a large number of sanctuary halls, every time he ate a part, his body became a little bigger, his body emitted a breath of death and terror, and his body contained immeasurable huge energy. That monster is not something that humans can make at all, and it doesn't look like it belongs to this world. Laura said in a frightening voice, recalling the image of the giant monster she had seen. It was a huge monster with no face visible all over its body, two huge yellow eyes glowing fiercely, a large mouth with fangs exposed, a long tongue spitting out green mucus, emitting bursts of sour pungent stench, and countless tentacles on its back, each tentacle with a disc-shaped mouth, and the mouth was full of fangs. The limbs and back were covered with exposed, spiky bone armor that reflected a chilling light in the darkness.
"So, did you fight him?" asked Ping'an.
"How can it be possible to fight with that kind of thing, humans can't be its opponent at all, after Qin Yi and I saw it, all we thought of was to escape as soon as possible, that guy was the Grim Reaper. But that's it, it still alarmed it, Qin Yi was injured by the mysterious mercenary guarding the Bazak underground in order to cover me, and the person who caught Qin Yi was one of the contestants who participated in the Bazak martial arts competition like you. Laura said to Ping'an.
"Who is it?" asked Ping'an hurriedly.
"I don't remember the name, but I saw him wearing a crisp military uniform, and he looked like a soldier of the World Coalition Government. Laura desperately recalled.
"Military uniform, you're talking about police uniform, of course I know that man, although I don't know his details, but I do know his name - Gatling. Ping An remembered the player who behaved very strangely in the game,
"So, next, I will try my best to find Lord Xuanwu, hoping to use his power to rescue Qin Yi, but what I'm most worried about is this competition, maybe it's a conspiracy, why the World Coalition Government has such a monster We don't know, but I think using you evolutionaries to feed the monster is the government's purpose, this monster must be the biological weapon of the World Coalition Government." Peace, in the next competition, you must not only participate, but also try to win, and tell all the contestants about this earth-shattering conspiracy, and if you can, unite them and lead them out of this hell. Laura spoke his mind.
"But, Laura, didn't you say that monster is very powerful, how can you save Qin Yi alone? Moreover, how can I tell those contestants about this conspiracy and let them escape?" Ping An has felt tremendous pressure in his life, and his words and deeds are related to the lives of so many strong people, and even the direction of the world.
"In terms of saving Qin Yi, I will ask Lord White Tiger from the headquarters of the Western Capital for help, and at the same time speed up the progress to find Lord Xuanwu, there are already some eyebrows. As for escaping the cave with those contestants, I believe you have the ability, haven't you made a lot of friends, so you can definitely convince them too. Moreover, you have to be on guard at all times for that Gatling, it seems that he was sent by the World Coalition Government to infiltrate the game, and should be an important pawn. Laura said earnestly, believing in peace.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door: "Anping, let's go downstairs for dinner." It turned out that Nero and Hemingway had come together to find peace and go downstairs for dinner.
Seeing this, Laura glanced at Ping An and suddenly burrowed under the blinds by the window. Ping An was afraid of arousing suspicion outside, so he hurriedly replied: "It's coming!" As he spoke, he walked to the door, pressed the switch, and the door opened, and Nero and Hemingway were waiting there with smiling faces.
"Let's go eat, provided by the tournament organizers. Nero said.
"Yes, yes, we also have a free meal, a housekeeper's meal. Hemingway was still grinning.
"Alright, let's go. Ping An hurriedly agreed, fearing that they would see the horse's feet, so he would walk out in three steps and two steps.
"Oh, Anping, your window hasn't been closed yet!" Nerro's sharp eyes quickly reminded.
"Ah, I just wanted to see the scenery of this city, and I opened up for a while. Ping An hurriedly turned around and closed the window, glanced at Laura hidden behind the blinds with his spare eyes, and immediately turned around and walked to the door: "Let's go." ”
"Let's go. Hemingway helped Ping An press the switch, the door slowly closed, his eyes fixed on the blinds, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
At this time, in the tunnel hundreds of meters deep under the Bazak Fighting Arena, a man carried the unconscious Qin Yi slowly. As I walked, I suddenly saw a golden hall appear, and all around the hall were covered with all kinds of unnamed precision instruments and monitoring equipment. A tall, burly man with red hair was sitting in front of a huge surveillance screen, with several of his men standing beside him.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the red man's electronic swivel chair turned around and looked at the man carrying Qin Yi: "What's going on?"
"Mr. Wise, there is a little leopard that seems to be lost. Gatling said, throwing Qin Yi on his shoulder to the ground.
