Garden of Eden || Apocalypse Paradise #2 [Complete]

125: Losing the Ability to Move at a Critical Juncture

Long Ahtao's roommate felt that he was very odd today. Long Ahtao had never missed a single match in all the previous tournaments. He would even save his salary, that little amount he had, to buy tickets for a few days of matches to watch it live. It was rare for Long Ahtao to skip watching the morning match, but the weirdest thing was that he barely replied after hearing the outrageous outcome of that match.

"Hey, what's wrong?" His roommate finally put down his bucket of snacks and walked to Long Ahtao's bedside. "The female mutates actually won. Did you hear what I said?"

Long Ahtao acknowledged with a soft sound, sounding very sick.

The roommate pulled him over roughly and was taken aback, "You have a fever?"

Long Ahtao's face was scathing hot. He closed his barely open eyes, and blood poured from his nose. A lock of hair fell from his head onto his roommate's hand, and the roommate shook it away in disgust and cleaned his hands on Long Ahtao's clothes. After the roommate considered it for a moment, he decided to call the medic.

"The match is starting. I don't want to go. It's just a fever. I can wait until the end of the match!" he quickly retorted as the screen went black.

His roommate grabbed that bucket of snacks and went back to his seat. He switched on the screen, showing the live broadcast of the tournament, and began eating his chicken popcorn guiltlessly as he felt that he had already done as much as he could as a roommate.

After watching for two minutes, he finally understood the intention of the Committee. Even though he couldn't hear the discussion between the contestants, he could see that they were arguing.

"But she is a resident of the Garden of Eden!" Dong Haohao's voice grew sharp as she continued emotionally, "My ability isn't good for combat. I didn't risk my life to continue this match to protect a resident of this place!"

Xu Wei and the others did not say anything, but they seemed to agree with her. Lin Sanjiu looked at Li Tao. Li Tao sighed and looked downward with her black puppy-like eyes, saying, "She means us no harm..."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Lin Sanjiu sighed in relief after she received support from Li Tao. She threw a glance at the woman on the ground. "I understand where you guys are coming from, but those drugged duoluozhongs wouldn't care if she has sponsors or where she is from..."

Sometimes, when the duoluozhongs were unable to catch the sponsored contestant, they would just grab another person to meet their sexual craving. This has happened quite a few times over the days, and there was no way Lin Sanjiu would allow any woman to be treated that way if she was around.

She had not even finished what she wanted to say; she was still thinking about how she could convince the other women when she suddenly heard someone gasping. The atmosphere immediately changed. Lin Sanjiu looked toward where the others were staring and saw three black prison vans.

Since the start of the tournament, this was the first time that three prison vans, instead of one, arrived.

The audience was ecstatic. They cheered and whistled. The atmosphere was radically different, and there was no sign of that uneasiness they showed in the morning. "Dear audience, do you see the prison vans? Even your host is surprised by this! We can only expect an exciting and entertaining show this afternoon!" The host spoke with a high-spirited voice as if to compensate for his speechless reaction in the morning match. When the doors of the prison van opened, the host started his enthusiastic introduction, "Oh! Look, the duoluozhongs in the first prison van are different from the ones before. Each of them looks fierce... Haha, how ferocious! They look like they will rush over even before the match starts..."
