Chapter 598: Fight in the Colosseum 2
Tears kept streaming down my eyes.
"To be honest, I don't like black people eating black people, so as long as you can understand what I mean, we can have a good talk, don't you think?"
"Uh-huh!"
The person in charge was speechless and could only hum through his nose.
Fu Zhi took his hand back, patted his head, and praised, "Good boy."
Person in charge: “…”
Otherwise, my fists can protect me, who would be willing to be the good boy?
Fu Zhi no longer paid attention to the sullen-looking person in charge, and under Jiang Ningbei's nervous and money-making gaze, he was led step by step to the contestants' area.
——
At this moment, there are only ten minutes left until the opening of the Colosseum.
Countless cages containing wild wolves were lifted from the stage to the upper floors by elevators.
Several earth-shaking roars were heard in the Colosseum.
The wild wolf trapped in the cage kept howling and roaring, with bloodthirsty gleams in its eyes.
Just one door away.
Standing behind the Colosseum gate was a group of contestants who had been pushed out of the dungeon. The oldest was forty-eight years old, and the youngest was only sixteen years old, their legs were trembling.
His sister had cancer and needed expensive treatment.
He signed a contract and came here based on a friend's recommendation.
He originally thought it was a boxing fight between people, but when he heard the howling of the ferocious beasts in the arena, he knew what his fate would be.
He is actually still very young, it is impossible for him not to be afraid of death.
Especially when I thought of my sister who was still in the hospital bed, with cold hands and feet, I subconsciously wanted to run back.
The oldest man sitting on the side didn't even raise his eyelids. When he heard the voice, he pulled his lower lip coldly.
"Don't waste your energy. Coming here and signing a contract is equivalent to selling yourself. Save some energy to fight the wild wolves. The Colosseum has been open for so many years, and it is full of bodyguards. With your small body, you can't beat even one of them, let alone so many people."
Want to leave?
It's just a foolish dream!
"I was tricked into coming here! I didn't know I could fight a wild beast!" The young man covered his face in despair. "My sister is still waiting for me to come home! I can't die! I can't die! I want to call the police, I want to tell the police about this! Let the law control this black industry chain!"
"Who will regulate it?" The man touched the scars on his body left by the beasts. "I, Li Hao, have been deceived into this Colosseum for 13 years. Kid, listen to my advice. At first, I had the same idea as you, but now..."
The boy's eyes widened.
Li Hao continued, "This Colosseum was opened by the Mu family. The Mu family is the industry leader in City A, with great power and complicated connections. And because it is an entertainment company, they also control a lot of newspapers and the like. Once there is a rumor, they can suppress the news immediately. Even if the local police want to solve the problem, they have to consider the ability of the Mu family and several other families, this group of local snakes. If you are brought here, you can only consider yourself unlucky, and no one can save you!"
"But I don't want to die. I don't want to... What will happen to my sister if I die..."
The boy collapsed to his knees, crying loudly.
Li Hao looked at him numbly and said, "Now that we are here, we should forget the past. Besides, we still have a chance to survive this fight."
The boy looked up and thought Li Hao's words were funny.
"How do humans fight wolves?"
He turned around and took a look at the group of people participating in the competition. Basically, they were not much different in age from him, and were rather thin. To put it bluntly, they were all boiled chickens.
"We are all losers. There is no chance for us to survive!"
"No, we do!"
Li Hao said firmly, "Didn't you notice? There are only nine people here, including you and me, and one is missing."
"The young one is a black guy from the West. He has lived in the mountains since he was a child. He is a hunter and knows how to fight wild animals. Compared to the rest of us, he is a hired thug in the Colosseum. He has experienced a total of hundreds of battles in this Colosseum. His teammates who were pushed into the Colosseum with him have the highest survival rate."
The boy swallowed, "Really?"
"Why else do you think I am so calm? There are unspoken rules in the Colosseum. If a strong teammate like Blackie appears in a team of ten, the other nine people must be old, weak, sick and disabled. After all, what the people outside the Colosseum want to see is not a battle of equal strength, but a one-sided slaughter that arouses their physical bloodiness!"
The man was still sitting on the ground, closing his eyes to rest, and advising the boy beside him, "Be smart when you go in, hide behind the niggers, the niggers are bloodthirsty, they might be able to save your life."
The boy was skeptical until a man standing next to him accidentally looked through the door and saw the photo of the woman flash by on the big screen.
All of a sudden, the blood in his body froze. "Brother Hao, Brother Hao! Come and have a look. Am I dazzled? Why did contestant number five suddenly become a woman?!"
"What?" Li Hao, who had originally looked calm, suddenly widened his eyes. He exuded an intimidating aura and rushed forward hurriedly, trying to see through the crack in the door to clearly see who the contestant on the big screen was.
However, the screen only lit up for a moment before going dark.
In the center of the Colosseum, there was a special host holding a microphone and giving an opening warm-up speech.
"Skinny monkey, have you looked carefully? What's going on with contestant number five?!" Li Hao pinched the thin man standing by the door.
The skinny monkey's face was in a panic. "I, I don't know... I'm not sure if I saw it wrong, but at that moment just now... it was indeed a woman wearing a mask..."
"You are not mistaken. The person has indeed been replaced."
The cold voice of a staff member was heard in the small space.
The staff member who led Fu Zhi to the rest area pointed at the girl behind him and said, "Her name is Li Zhi. She replaced the black man. She is your teammate in this battle."
"Why?!"
Looking at the masked girl in front of me, she is thin and short! He can kill a hundred people with one punch! Li Hao's mentality collapsed. "Didn't we agree to be on the same team with the black guys in this game? Why did they change players at the last minute, and we weren't notified?"
"Heh." The staff member laughed disdainfully and looked at Li Hao.
That look seemed to be saying, 'You're just a lousy worker, and you're not worthy of us telling you in advance? '.
Li Hao's heart fell into an ice cellar.
Fu Zhi glanced around and noticed that the looks her nine teammates were giving her were... well, very unfriendly.
As if to escalate the conflict to the maximum, the staff member specifically said, "In this fight, the higher-ups have issued an order that no matter how hard you try, you must not let Li Zhi lose a single drop of blood. At the beginning, you must protect her."
After all, there are so many gamblers who bet on Fu Zhi and give up a kill. If the casino wants to make money, it must do the opposite.
Looking at Fu Zhi raising his eyebrows and touching the tip of his nose, Li Hao didn't understand anything. They were just employees used by the Colosseum to make money. But protecting Fu Zhi...
Li Hao was not convinced. "Once you enter the Colosseum, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. I'm sorry I can't help you!"
"That's right. We can't just protect her just because she is a woman! Her life is a life, but our brothers' lives are not lives?" The man next to him had red eyes.
"When the nigger was here, he was the one who protected us. Now she has replaced the nigger and she even wants us to protect her! We demand that the nigger be replaced. We don't want to be on the same team with trash!"
"It's over... I don't want to die yet! Why do you want to replace me... Please, bring the nigger back! Ahhh! I don't want to be on the same team with this woman!"
“…”
Seeing that this group of people's mentality was becoming more and more broken, the staff member was about to say a few more words, but was suddenly interrupted by Fu Zhi.
The girl standing next to him spoke word by word, "You are too worried. I don't need your protection."
The staff member thought of the girl strangling the person in charge and said, "This person applied to fight on his own initiative. He is different from you bunch of cowards!"
"Oh, she doesn't need our protection? Unlike us?" Li Hao shook his head and clenched his fists. "We are cowards, but we don't have the ability to fight! She wants to come to the Colosseum for excitement and fighting. Why should she replace the people who can protect us? My brothers have worked hard for the Colosseum for so many years, and this is what happened?"
"Shout, shout, shout! Who are you shouting at? There are so many people who work hard for the Colosseum. This is an honor for you! Who do you think you are? I tell you, if you don't do as we say on the stage, don't blame the higher-ups for being rude to your family members!"
After the intimidation, the staff didn't waste any more time and turned and left.
Fu Zhi was left in the small rest area.
Hiding in the surroundings are the bodyguards patrolling the Colosseum.
The other seven people who were originally preparing to go on stage with Li Hao stood together with Li Hao, dividing the area and isolating Fu Zhi and the other boy.
The boy, who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old, was confused, but he also understood the current situation. His eyes were dull and he said, "It's over..."
His heart sank.
Fu Zhi unfolded a tissue, threw it on the ground, and then sat down cross-legged in a very delicate manner.
The boy cried very loudly, making Fu Zhi feel uneasy.
Fu Zhi, whose cell phone was confiscated, subconsciously looked in the direction where the sounds of him crying, making a fuss and hiccuping came from.
The boy had collapsed to the ground, lying flat on his back, his legs twitching in the air as he stared, "Wow... my life is so miserable, Mom! Dad! Save me, wuwuwu!"
Fu Zhi: “…”
Fu Zhi couldn't stand it anymore. She felt a headache from the noise. Because the two of them were close to each other, she pushed the boy and said, "Stop crying."
"If you want people to stop crying, you have to pay back Brother Hei!" The young man took the time to reply and continued to kick his legs, "Wow, I have never killed a living being in my life! I don't want to commit sins, and I don't want the wolves on the field to bear blood debts!"
Fu Zhi: "...You can't die, what's there to cry about?"
"Why can't I die? You want to die yourself, just for fun, and you drag us down with you. You're so vicious! Woohoo! You're nothing like my poor sister! You said I can't die, but if a loser like me doesn't die, who will?"
Fu Zhi swallowed the words, "You didn't do anything wrong, don't be afraid, they are the ones who should be afraid," after hearing the boy's vicious words, and changed her words, imitating Xu Wei, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, I found a backer for you."
"What? Hiccup~ What backstage?" The boy's crying became quieter. "For a poor family like us, do we have any backstage?"
"Yes." Fu Zhi said, "I prayed to Guanyin for you in my heart."
Please, what are you asking for?
What's his background?
juvenile:"……"
The boy opened his mouth and choked.
The next second, with her red and swollen eyes, she stared into Fu Zhi's eyes, and then:
——"Wow!" A huge cry resounded through the sky.
Fu Zhi: “…”
That's all.
The crying lasted for a long time. Li Hao and his group were so overwhelmed by fear that they had no time to care about the boy's discomfort.
Until fierce cheers broke out from the seats in the front, everyone knew that this fight with life and death at stake was about to begin.
Fu Zhi raised his hand and buttoned his loose short-sleeved shirt.
She moved her wrists and neck back and forth.
As the gate slowly rose, she walked towards the arena step by step.
The girl was standing against the light, her straight long legs were very eye-catching. She was strolling leisurely in the garden, and every step she took was very steady. Her eyes under the mask were calm and silent, without any ripples, yet firm and fearless.
“Wow——!”
There were all kinds of shocked noises from the audience, including whistles.
Jiang Ningbei, who had been talking about finding a wife, suddenly felt his heart sink. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too heavy, and a hint of fear emerged in his heart again.
However, thinking of the purpose of Fu Zhi's doing this, Jiang Ningbei could only sigh, silently took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pointed it towards the stage, and while recording, he looked at Zhao Wu, who was caught by him and trembling in the seat in the audience.
Inside the Colosseum.
Thousands of seats were already filled, with everyone waving instruments to place bets, accompanied by the deafening roars of wild beasts and the bloody frenzy in their eyes.
Their blood was boiling, even more excited than that of the wolves, and they were all looking forward to the next performance.
Li Hao and his group all turned pale.
Li Hao's brothers clenched their fists, thinking of the instructions from the staff. Although they were not convinced, they had to face the reality. "Brother Hao, let me go protect that woman later, right? You have a wife and children, but I am different. I am alone..."
"Don't be silly! We are all brothers. How can I let you die to protect her just because you have nothing to worry about?" Li Hao's eyes flashed with viciousness. "If something happens on stage later, find a way to push her into the wolf pack and act casually. Anyway, it's normal for emergencies to happen in the Colosseum."
"When the wolves attack her, we will seize the opportunity and work together. Who knows, there might be a glimmer of hope!"
