Upon hearing Ling Mo's words, Gu Tingbai's face turned deathly pale. His usual carefree and lazy demeanor vanished, replaced by a grave expression as he asked:
"Sister Mo, are the trials in Arena City really that terrifying?"
Prior to this, Gu Tingbai was not entirely ignorant of the Super God Arena City.
I also have some understanding of the elimination mechanism that selects the 30 best people from 3,000 applicants.
The problem is that he has never met the survivors who came out of the Super God Arena City, so he doesn't know how dangerous the trials in the Arena City are.
Another point is that during the recruitment period, Super God Arena City has always claimed that if trainees cannot stand such a cruel elimination mechanism, they can choose to withdraw from the training.
Therefore, trainees who come to participate in the training camp often have a侥幸 (lucky) attitude, always thinking that if they really encounter some insurmountable danger, they can save their lives by shouting that they want to quit the training. In their view, most of the trainees who died in previous years died tragically in the arena because they were too stubborn and unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand out from the crowd.
In reality, Super God Arena City has no such thing as withdrawing from training.
The so-called withdrawal from training is nothing more than a cover-up.
There are two main reasons why the survivors who emerged from the Super God Arena in previous years have never mentioned this incident.
Firstly, these survivors were worried that their secrets would leak out and they would be assassinated by the forces behind Arena City.
Furthermore, those survivors who made it to the end have all been turned into humanoid puppets.
Besides rescuing people and obtaining medicine, Ling Mo also made sure to collect evidence at all times during his trip.
Once all the evidence is gathered, the moment she successfully leaves the Super God Arena, she can expose the extremely perverse elimination mechanism within the Super God Arena, allowing the public to see clearly that this arena is not a treasure trove for selecting talent, but a dark and hopeless hell on earth.
Therefore, the tragic situation of a large number of outstanding talents being poisoned and slaughtered by the Arena should not exist.
Fu Yunque's purpose was similar to Ling Mo's.
Ever since he learned that Ouyang Bin was one of the main controllers of the Super God Arena, he had the idea of coming to find out more.
Upon hearing that the first trial was the extremely dangerous "Biohazard Crisis," he frowned and whispered to Ling Mo, "Do you think the Arena City will really be overrun by zombies tonight? I still don't quite believe that zombies really exist in this world."
"The zombies here are indeed somewhat different from those in movies and TV shows, but they also share certain similarities. These zombies are also products of a biochemical laboratory. It was probably achieved by injecting living people with the T-virus to modify their physiological functions."
This type of zombie is generally a parasitic zombie, with low intelligence and slow movement. Being bitten by one carries an extremely high mortality rate; however, a small percentage of those bitten may also mutate.
"You mean, the zombies in Arena City were originally a group of healthy living people?"
Fu Yunque appeared extremely surprised.
Although he had long known that Ouyang Bin was no pushover.
But I never imagined that Ouyang Bin would be so cruel.
Ling Mo nodded, and then said:
"In fact, there is still a chance to save the life of the infected person within half a day after infection with the T virus. But if they wait until they have completely mutated, there will be no turning back."
"So what should we do now? Should we organize everyone to escape together, or should we get everyone to cooperate with us to start researching the pathogen?" Fu Yunque thought to himself. Since it involved the virus, his and Ling Mo's medical knowledge was very likely to come in handy. Instantly, their morale soared, and they were ready to fight the T virus to the end.
"With only a few hours left, developing an antidote is an impossible task. As for escaping, the chances of success are almost zero," Ling Mo said, gesturing for everyone to look at the heavily armored tanks at the gate of the Super God Arena.
Seeing the imposing heavily armored tanks at the main gate and the supervisors wielding highly lethal military weapons, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized that the so-called "can withdraw from training at any time" was just a deceptive facade.
Shi Huan had never seen much of the world, and just looking at the fierce-looking supervisor at the entrance terrified her so much that she screamed and buried her face in Ling Mo's chest, asking in a choked voice:
"Cousin, what should we do now? I'm so scared, I want to go home."
At this moment, Shi Huan was truly filled with remorse.
Before entering the Super God Arena, Ling Mo had warned her how dangerous it was, but she mistakenly thought that Ling Mo was trying to hinder her from succeeding and resolutely refused to quit training.
Now, things are really messed up; under these circumstances, she can't back out even if she wanted to.
Ling Mo rummaged through his tool bag and pulled out a Nepalese kukri, then solemnly handed it to Shi Huan:
"Hold this military knife firmly. If you really encounter danger, a headshot with the knife will be far more effective than any AK46 you've been given. Zombies have extremely sensitive hearing and smell. If you fire a gun, it's very likely to attract more zombies. The only thing you can do is use the knife to kill them silently in the shortest amount of time."
"But... what will you do if I get the military knife, cousin?"
Shi Huan hurriedly took the military knife handed to her by Ling Mo, a hint of struggle flashing between her brows and eyes.
She had indeed considered that if Ling Mo were to die, Zhan Hanjue's favor would most likely fall on her, his niece.
Similarly, if Ling Mo were to die, she would have a chance to snatch away such an outstanding man as Qin Beiming from Ling Mo.
