[Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
When the giant screen overhead began displaying this series of numbers, the entire venue fell silent instantly.
The teams began to move closer together, forming a tight formation.
Those who did not join the team adopted a wary, defensive posture.
【3, 2, 1!】
The final moment was approaching, and the tension reached its peak.
But the moment the countdown ended, everyone seemed to be put on pause, and not a single person dared to take the initiative.
Before this, they had only been fighting against mindless zombies, and even when wielding weapons, they had little burden in their hearts.
However, the opponent before them was a living, breathing human being, and life and death were uncertain in the clash of swords.
Even a minor scratch is enough to trigger endless guilt.
Whether it was the competitors on the field or the spectators sitting in the stands, everyone was enveloped in this somber atmosphere.
As if death itself had gripped their throats, no one dared to break the silent stalemate.
Just then, a refreshing figure stood out from the crowd.
She wore a pure white dress and a pair of delicate leather shoes, her long, straight black hair flowing in the wind, like a beautiful painting.
In Su Yue's view, this face seemed to be copied and pasted from South Korea; it was extremely beautiful, but lacked any distinctiveness.
She held the cross necklace hanging around her neck tightly in both hands, and the two little white rabbits bounced rhythmically as she walked.
Her long legs were exposed to the air, tinged with a faint pink, perhaps from tension or fear, making her look pitiful.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, she stepped out from the crowd and walked towards the platform in the center of the arena.
Su Yue calmly used his detection technique, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Isn't this just like the Virgin Mary that can be seen everywhere in the early days of the apocalypse?
[How can you eat rabbits? LV10, Occupation: Healer, B-rank talent: Heart of the Mother]
"Fellow countrymen! My name is 'Rabbit'! I think I've found a win-win solution!"
"In reality, the essence of this competition is that the Order wants us to kill each other. We can't fall for their trick!"
"There are no explicit rules or requirements for this competition; the organizers will only reward us based on the time we spend on the field!"
"Therefore, I suggest we all refrain from doing anything! Let's wait until we receive the reward before leaving, leaving the venue for those who need it. What do you all think?"
Those rough old men were wondering where the rabbit came from, but after seeing what it looked like...
They were about to start swearing, but the second son objected.
Male hormones surged within them, as if about to burst through their abdominal cavity.
They couldn't wait to challenge her and teach her a lesson about growing up.
However, after careful consideration, Rabbit's proposal seemed extremely appealing.
When the start time reaches 5 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour.
Everyone who is still fighting on the field can receive a survival gift pack as a reward.
No wonder he's an expert at finding deals and perks on shopping apps.
This proposal is undoubtedly a wise and advantageous choice for everyone.
"Okay! I'll do whatever you say, Rabbit! I'm pretty capable, how about we hang out after the competition?"
"Step aside! I'm a biologist, Rabbit. Do you want to study rabbits with me?"
"She's still a little girl, you guys are so mean! Bunny, the lilies in our hometown are blooming, do you want to come with me to see them?"
...
Having trained for two and a half years as an idol trainee, TuTu demonstrated exceptional coping skills, handling the enthusiastic crowd with ease.
The atmosphere on the entire battlefield became relaxed and cheerful because of the appearance of the rabbit.
After the proposal was accepted, although some people remained defensive, their inner tension gradually dissipated.
Su Yue ignored these people and took the opportunity to investigate, searching for talented individuals with potential.
After all, among these four thousand people, there must be one that suits you, right?
Five minutes is neither a long nor a short time.
Everyone received a small survival kit, which was already worth the price of admission.
One supply capsule, one piece of ordinary equipment.
What about the gift packages that come after 30 minutes or 1 hour? Aren't they out of their league?
But the audience members who bought tickets outside the venue were not happy.
Instead of wasting time staring at this group of people in the arena, you might as well go outside, turn right, and kill some zombies!
"Hurry up and get moving! I paid for this ticket, not to watch you guys do nothing here!" A level 6 player, Erniuzi, shouted from the stands.
"Brother Niu, isn't this a bit much?" A level 5 girl standing nearby said with some sympathy, "We only spent 10 gold coins, but they have to risk their lives!"
"So what!" Erniuzi retorted without hesitation, "If you're a man, you fight!"
Those who are usually timid and hesitant have now become confident and assertive.
The cheers from the crowd grew louder, but none of this could change the course of the game.
At this moment, the focus on the leaders of the two major forces is on the giant screen in the center of the stadium.
Xing Gang from the Dragon Group had a deep worry between his brows as his gaze swept across the field, keenly capturing every subtle change.
In stark contrast, Old Deng of the Black Group had a subtle, sly smile on his usually calm face.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a cold arrow shot out from the sky, its sharp whistling sound shattering the peaceful atmosphere, its target aimed directly at Rabbit on the central stage.
Caught off guard, Rabbit suffered a severe shoulder injury, lost her balance, and collapsed heavily onto the stage.
This unexpected turn of events left the surrounding participants momentarily stunned, and the air in the entire battlefield seemed to freeze.
However, amidst this deathly silence, a deafening cheer erupted from the sidelines.
Finally, someone broke the deadlock!
Following the direction from which the arrow came, they discovered it was from the Dragon Group.
The arrow pointed directly at the location of the Dragon Group. Everyone stared in disbelief, speechless.
The Dragon Group, which has always touted itself as the embodiment of justice, has actually committed such an outrageous act.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, with everyone's angry gazes like knives and swords directed at the Dragon Group, forcing Xing Gang to give an explanation.
"Who fired that arrow just now?" Xing Gang asked his adjutant in a low voice.
The adjutant quickly ascertained the situation and replied, "Commander Xing! It was a new recruit who fled the battlefield after shooting the arrow!"
The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized that they had been tricked by the Dragon Group.
Although the rabbit fell to the ground, it struggled to get up, its body soaked in blood, which escalated the situation further.
"Rabbit is fine, everyone please don't misunderstand Commander Xing, he definitely didn't do it on purpose!"
