"Go in and take a look!"
Gladiators were an indispensable element in slave society.
I didn’t expect that the Red Fortress would also bring out this element.
The arena is exciting.
But who cares that the arena is a tragedy of the times?
Li Zijia did not refuse, she was indeed a little curious.
Tickets to the Colosseum are very cheap, and only water is charged.
Each person only needs 100ml of water.
It may not seem like there are many people, but if you listen to the roaring sounds in the arena, you will know that there are a lot of people inside.
It is obvious at first glance that Zhou Qiang and Li Zijia are not ordinary people.
Clean and fair, compared with other people, it is enough to make people feel inferior. If such a person is put in the end times, how can he be a simple character?
"Boss, you can purchase the VIP area."
“It’s located up front, has good sight lines, and is much cleaner and sanitary to be around.”
"Each person only needs a 550ml bottle of mineral water."
An extraordinary person who was collecting tickets said this with a respectful look on his face.
Zhou Qiang nodded.
Two bottles of water are nothing to Zhou Qiang.
This time, Zhou Qiang carried a backpack to disguise his storage space.
With the cover of a backpack, you don't have to worry about being suspected when taking out supplies.
He took out two bottles of mineral water from his backpack and handed them to the other person.
The extraordinary person who collected the tickets was not surprised that Zhou Qiang could take out two bottles of water. He unscrewed them familiarly, then poured a drop out of each bottle. He tested it with a small instrument and confirmed that it was drinkable drinking water. Then he put the water away and handed the two golden plates to Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang tossed it in his hand and found out it was made of gold.
Each piece weighs at least 50 grams.
Good job.
Tsk tsk, the value of gold in the apocalypse is so low that it’s unbelievable.
Two bottles of water can be exchanged for 100 grams of gold. Converted to the modern price on Earth, 100 grams of gold is worth at least 50,000 yuan.
But here, the tickets for two bottles of water are sold with gold labels.
More than ten thousand times the return.
"Maybe we can exchange the supplies with the survivors for some gold?"
Zhou Qiang was moved.
A ten thousand times return is really too tempting.
There is actually a lot of room for maneuver in this matter. Zhou Qiang doesn't need to take action at all. He just needs to find some reliable people.
Leave the work to them, take the gold away at regular intervals, and give them supplies.
Now, to create a fifth-order mutated zombie, one needs 1 billion in funds, and the sixth-order is estimated to be 10 billion.
The amount of funds required is too huge.
Of course, this plan has to wait until we get the Neptune-class submarines.
Glanced at Li Zijia.
Finding that she seemed a little thirsty, Zhou Qiang took out another bottle of water and threw it to her.
“Drink it!”
Li Zijia nodded, took it and drank it in one breath without hesitation.
She naturally trusted Zhou Qiang.
Don't worry about the water.
Li Zijia knew that he had nothing but his body which Zhou Qiang could cherish. But Zhou Qiang didn't accept him even though he offered himself to him. So what was there to be afraid of?
You have to know that the dishes Zhou Qiang brought out are definitely a hundred times more precious than this water.
Several extraordinary people who were collecting tickets stared at Li Zijia as he finished the drink in one breath.
They licked their cracked lips subconsciously.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
Being beautiful is different. There are always many rich men vying to support you.
Entering the arena, there was a deafening sound coming from inside.
Countless people waved their arms and shouted.
"Kill him."
"Kill him."
"Kill him."
Everyone's eyes were red.
There is a betting button in front of every position in this arena.
If you want, you can place a bet on the gladiator you think may win.
Before placing a bet, first you need to download the APP they developed, and secondly you need to deposit food, water or genetic fluid with the operator of the arena, who will convert it into numbers for you to place a bet.
The reason why people here are crazy is because of this kind of gambling.
The Colosseum is definitely a place that makes a lot of money.
With this VIP gold medal, Zhou Qiang and Li Zijia appeared in the VIP area stands.
This is right at the front of the arena. There are quite a few people inside, but it is far from full.
The ticket price for a bottle of water is not cheap, and many people are reluctant to spend it.
The people here are still fanatical, they are still roaring and waving their arms.
Zhou Qiang found a seat and sat down.
Not only can you see the entire picture below, but there is also a live broadcast screen in front of you, which can be enlarged and pulled, and the angle can be switched.
It is worthy of being a VIP area, these functions are not available in other civilian areas.
"Damn it, this piece of rubbish is so weak inside that it made me lose 10 liters of water."
"Fuck, I just lost ten kilograms of rice."
"Hahahaha, I knew he could win, awesome!"
"Luckily I didn't bet on him, otherwise it would have been a disaster."
Suddenly, everyone here started shouting and cursing.
Some people were cursing, some were laughing.
In the huge arena below, there was a 1.7-meter-tall man covered in blood. He was holding a sword and shield in his hands and roaring madly.
His opponent, a big man about 1.9 meters tall, fell in a pool of blood.
A long cut was made in the big guy's abdomen, and his internal organs flowed out.
But this was not the injury that actually killed him immediately, but there was a cut on his neck, and blood was still gushing out.
As soon as the result of the fight came out, the whole scene became boiling.
Two extremes.
Some were shouting and cursing, some were laughing, all of them were people who had placed bets.
Only those who really came to have fun were cheering. For them, this scene made their blood boil and their mood became extremely excited.
Zhou Qiang frowned.
Human nature has indeed been distorted in the end times. They like this kind of violence and blood, just like beasts.
Li Zijia's eyes were spitting fire. She was born into a military family and the education she had received made it difficult for her to accept all this.
Look at the scene below, it's dark red everywhere.
It is conceivable how many people fight for life and death here every day and are eventually killed here.
"Next, it's our gladiator queen who'll appear."
"She's won three hundred and forty-seven games in a row."
"She only has three games left before she can be free."
"If she's lucky enough, today will be the day she gets her freedom."
At this moment, a burst of excited roars was heard from the broadcast of the arena.
A loud voice kept repeating these words.
The people, whose enthusiasm had not yet subsided, fell into crazy shouting again.
In the arena below, I saw a huge cage sliding on the track and soon reached the center of the arena.
The cage is made of welded thick steel bars, each of which is thicker than an arm.
Through the gaps in the steel bars, you can see a slender woman standing in the cage.
She was wearing a somewhat tattered tights and there was dirt on her face, so it was hard to tell what she looked like, but at least she had a good figure.
The reason why this tights is torn is not because it is old, but because it was cut by a knife.
Short hair, a little greasy.
Her appearance set off the whole place.
However, facing the roars of countless people, the woman had no expression on her face, and her eyes were even gray, without a trace of soul. She was like a body without a soul.
She stood there motionless, allowing the cage to pull her to the center of the arena.
“Crack!”
There was a sound of the automatic lock opening from the huge cage.
There was still no expression on the woman's face. She looked at the open door, raised her legs and walked out.
A pair of straight and long legs.
As she walked out, she grabbed a battle axe prepared in the cage.
When this woman stepped out into the arena, the entire arena erupted with even louder cheers, wave after wave.
"Welcome our gladiator queen."
The DJ's voice rang out, igniting the whole audience.
"Queen."
"Queen."
"Queen……"
This sound is all I can hear, and it's shocking.
There are at least fifty or sixty thousand people in the entire arena.
The woman raised her head and glanced at the shouting people indifferently, but she remained motionless like a statue, as if these people did not exist.
"Three hundred and forty-seven games, all won. This record is too abnormal."
"In the arena, there is only life and death. It is really amazing that she can still be alive. I have decided to bet on her later."
"It's absolutely a miracle that a woman can do this."
"You guys are so naive. I dare say that these last three matches will definitely be the death of this gladiator queen."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. The arena does not allow anyone to escape control. For the last three matches, there will definitely be super powerful people or zombies who will appear. They will definitely not let the gladiator queen win so easily again."
"No way, the arena will ignore the rules?"
"Rules? This is the end of the world. Everything will be trampled upon. The rules are set by them and controlled by them."
"If that's the case, we definitely can't bet on the Gladiator Queen to win, otherwise our money will be wasted."
In the VIP area, a group of people were talking, but their faces showed a look of anticipation for a good show.
To them, it didn’t matter what this woman had at least gone through, but what was about to happen to her.
Zhou Qiang frowned and looked at the woman under the huge arena.
She stood in the center, yet she was so small.
From the enlarged picture, it can be seen that she has no fear at all, but looks at the huge arena calmly, as if the tens of thousands of spectators in the arena have become her own clown.
Just standing there, one feels as if he is covering the entire universe.
A sturdy aura emanated from her, making everyone who looked at her feel fearful.
She is more like a female warrior.
"Dear audience, the opponent the gladiator queen will face this time will be unprecedented."
The DJ's voice rang out again, suppressing the waves of shouts.
Soon everyone in the arena stopped shouting, but stared at the arena below with excitement on their faces.
"Today, the Gladiator Queen will complete her redemption and achieve the feat of winning 350 battles. Then she will become a free person, receive pardon initiated by the leader, become a member of the Red Fortress, and never be a slave again."
"So, please cherish the last three battles of the Gladiator Queen."
"Of course, it also depends on whether our gladiator queen can win the last three battles."
"Now everyone, shout with me and cheer for our Queen."
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The DJ's voice has a magical power that stirs the emotions of tens of thousands of people.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty..."
There was a fanatical roar, and those who didn't know thought they were meeting their Queen.
In fact, he was just a gladiator.
The woman known as the Queen of Gladiators stood indifferently in the center of the arena, seemingly unmoved by the enthusiasm of these people.
"Now, let's warm up our Queen with an appetizer."
"Please welcome Tank, the man with one hundred and twenty-one undefeated matches."
"Everyone has five minutes to place their bets."
As DJ roared, information about Tank appeared on huge light screens, listing videos of his 121 battles.
In the arena below, a huge cage also brought a 1.9-meter-tall man to the arena.
"roar……"
The big man nicknamed Tank let out a provocative roar when he saw the gladiator queen standing in the center.
He is tall and is indeed built like a tank.
When the cage stopped, it was not opened immediately. Now was the time for the audience to place their bets.
The gladiator queen just looked at Tank expressionlessly, then turned into an ice sculpture, motionless.
"I'm going to kill you, bitch."
The tank made a buzzing sound.
But the gladiator queen ignored him.
It was Zhou Qiang’s first time seeing a fight and he was also interested. He held his chin and observed the two men through the enlarged image.
But I can't really see anything at the moment.
Li Zijia was somewhat indignant: "Why treat a woman like this?"
"How shameless! Women are weak to begin with, yet they still want to be gladiators?"
"It's absolutely ridiculous and a disgrace to civilization."
When the people in the VIP area heard Li Zijia's voice and saw her beauty, they were all stunned, and each of them showed a pig-like look.
In the great reshuffle at the end of the world, many people at the bottom of society have turned into powerful people. They have become the masters, so many people’s personalities are distorted and abnormal.
What would such a beautiful woman have to do with them before the end of the world?
But now it is different. Almost all of them are slave owners, with great power, a group of subordinates, and a large number of slaves. They are the masters of this world. No matter how beautiful a woman is, they dare to think about it.
Of course, when they saw Zhou Qiang standing next to Li Zijia, they suppressed their impulsive urge.
Those who can get in here will not act rashly before they know the details.
They are not stupid, otherwise how could they have the strength they have today?
Many people were staring at Li Zijia unscrupulously, not caring at all that Zhou Qiang was next to Li Zijia.
Even an ugly middle-aged man came over. He was wearing designer clothes and ten big diamond rings on his hands. He was a real nouveau riche.
But he felt good.
"Brother, do you want to change this woman?"
"I can exchange it for a hundred strong slaves."
"No, two hundred will do."
He was sure that the other party would be moved if he exchanged two hundred strong slaves for one woman.
Zhou Qiang glanced at the middle-aged man calmly and said, "Get lost!"
Li Zijia was nervous at first, but when he heard the name Zhou Qiang, he immediately became happy.
But she was sensible and didn't say anything because she was afraid of causing trouble for Zhou Qiang.
The man's facial muscles twitched, and he stared at Zhou Qiang fiercely, then held up three fingers: "Three hundred strong slaves."
Zhou Qiang didn't even bother to look at the man, but instead turned his eyes to the arena below.
"Hahaha, Liu Laoliu, I told you that you are just a toad."
"How generous! He was willing to give up three hundred slaves. Liu Laoliu must have starved to death because of lust."
"Even three hundred slaves refused. This woman is really precious."
Everyone else started laughing, which made Liu Laoliu look ugly.
He stared at Zhou Qiang's back and snorted coldly. He didn't get entangled or say anything harsh. Instead, he looked towards the fighting arena with a gloomy face.
Five minutes actually goes by very quickly.
When the betting was over, the DJ said, "Time is up, the betting session is over, now it's time to see the results."
"Will the people who conservatively bought the Gladiator Queen to win have the last laugh, or will the people who extravagantly hoped that the tanks would win and get rich rewards revel in the party?"
"Now please welcome Mr. Tank."
The huge cage that trapped the tank had a "click" sound from the electronic lock, and the cage door opened.
The tall Tank walked out of the cage, holding a mace in his hand. The sharp metal spikes on it flashed coldly in the sunlight.
"Tanks, tanks, tanks..."
The shouts were deafening like a tsunami.
Those who bet on Tank were all excited and shouted Tank's name frantically.
"roar……"
Tank raised his mace and roared in response to the bettors.
Every muscle of his was extremely strong, and his 1.9-meter height created a huge sense of oppression for the gladiator queen, who was just over 1.7-meter tall.
There was a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
He enjoyed this kind of madness.
All those who had bet on the gladiatorial queen were fed up, and they also stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty, twist the head of this shitty tank off."
There was a wave of shouting and cursing.
The atmosphere at the scene made people secrete adrenaline like crazy, and everyone seemed to be crazy.
"You, die!"
Tank pointed the mace at the gladiator queen.
The next moment, the tank moved.
He swung his mace and rushed towards the gladiator queen with a bloodthirsty expression.
Once you get out of the cage, the fight has already begun.
Only one of the two could stand.
In the arena, there are never two winners.
“Bang!”
The tank rushed forward, then shook all over and the energy spread out. This was the skill [Shock Wave] possessed by the third-level transcendent.
The gladiator queen moved, leaving behind a shadow like a ghost.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared outside the range of the [Shock Wave].
She stood there indifferently, keeping her grip on the battle axe as if she had not moved just now.
But the next moment, her figure became blurred.
It is the speed-type evolved [Ghost].
Zhou Qiang stared at the gladiator queen. Her speed was so great that she almost disappeared.
This tank is also very powerful. He used the [Shock Wave] again, and was able to knock away anyone who was pounced upon by the [Ghost].
However, the gladiator queen’s fighting skills were extremely powerful. She wrapped herself around the tank like a snake and moved around it at an incredibly fast speed.
“Puff!”
In an instant, the tall tank's body was covered with wounds, and blood dyed his muscles red.
This gladiator queen actually used her battle axe with great skill while moving at high speed, injuring the tank.
Although he was injured, Tank didn't care at all.
He roared and swung his mace wildly.
But the moment he swung the mace, the gladiator queen appeared behind him and swung the battle axe as well.
She jumped high, and using the force of the fall, swung the battle axe and chopped down.
By the time Tank realized that there was wind blowing above his head, it was too late.
“Puff!”
The battle axe split his head in two.
The tall figure fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The gladiator queen didn't even take a breath, she looked at the ground with cold eyes and slowly stretched out two fingers.
There are two more games.
