Escape from the Colosseum
"Liu Feng?!"
"What is he going to do?"
Before Liu Xia could react, he felt the scene in front of him shaking again, fine ripples appeared on his retina, the bed under him twisted into waves, and countless mold spots suddenly appeared on the snow-white ceiling, which began to wriggle as if it came alive, as if the world was about to collapse.
The entire picture was shaking more and more violently, and the feeling of dizziness came again. Liu Xia, who had experienced this twice, was obviously already accustomed to this feeling.
Liu Xia grabbed Bai Fei's arm, her fingertips digging into her warm skin. Her eyes, which had originally been red from tears of joy at seeing her friend, now became firm again: "No matter what he wants to do, wait for me to come back!"
"Xiao Xia?" Bai Fei's voice was gentle and a little worried.
"Sister Xia!"
He Tianlin's anxious and joyful voice was mixed in.
"Xiao Xia, what's wrong with you..."
Bai Fei's voice gradually became anxious.
The shouts that came one after another were stretched into a strange buzzing sound. The voices of Bai Fei and He Tianlin kept overlapping in Liu Xia's ears until Bai Fei's voice gradually faded away.
The warmth from his fingertips suddenly disappeared, and Liu Xia could smell the peculiar, disgusting, damp smell of the dungeon again, mixed with the sour smell of rust and excrement that rushed straight to his head.
He Tianlin looked at Liu Xia who suddenly sat up, with a hint of joy in his voice, and asked tentatively: "Sister Xia, are you awake?!"
Liu Xia blinked, and the boy's face suddenly filled her vision. She could clearly see the dust and blood on his cheeks. She sighed inwardly, realizing that she was finally back here.
She had to figure out what was going on. Fortunately, Bai Fei was there to take care of her body, although she didn't know what tricks Liu Feng was going to play.
In short, I have to go back quickly. I don’t know what Liu Feng wants to do by contacting Bai Fei.
Liu Xia didn't answer He Tianlin's question. Instead, he stared into his eyes and asked, "How long has it been since I came back from the cage?"
He Tianlin didn't expect Liu Xia to say this out of the blue. Uncomfortably, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Since you suddenly collapsed the moment you entered the gate, Sister Xia, if I remember correctly, it shouldn't have been more than thirty minutes."
After getting the reply, Liu Xia continued to ask: "What about the last time?"
"Ten minutes."
A cold voice suddenly came over. Ding Ruotong's expression was dull and even her eyes did not fluctuate, but she said an exact time.
Only then did Liu Xia notice that Ding Ruotong was standing quietly by the side with an expressionless face.
Generally, fighting bulls locked in cages do not have a device to tell time. When they are thrown in, all their belongings except the clothes on their bodies will be taken away.
Ding Ruotong spoke so decisively, as if she had started pressing the timer since Liu Xia lost consciousness.
As if she felt Liu Xia's gaze on her, Ding Ruotong turned around unconsciously, but the several red scratches on her arm still did not escape Liu Xia's eyes. The wound was now slightly oozing blood, and it was very obvious on her fair skin.
Liu Xia's eyes darkened and he couldn't help but believe it.
"Based on these two times, plus Feifei's statement that she was in a coma for three days, if I'm correct, the time difference between the wasteland and the real world is about 10:1. In other words, one minute in the real world is equal to 10 minutes in the wasteland, and the time taken to go back each time increases."
It is precisely because of this that Liu Xia has hope of survival.
As long as you recycle the garbage as quickly as possible, you can return to the real world again. The more you recycle, the longer you can stay in the real world.
Even one day, I can completely leave here.
But by then, what will happen to the bodies in the wasteland world?
Is it complete loss of consciousness or immediate death?
Or disappear completely from this world?
Liu Xia could not predict the future development, but he only knew that he could not stop and do nothing, otherwise he would become consumables in both worlds. Only by constantly moving forward and strengthening himself could he have the possibility of a breakthrough.
His thoughts were in a mess, and Liu Xia gradually felt a dull pain in the back of his head and body.
It seems that I was injured when I fell straight up on my back. Fortunately, my body has been tempered for so many days. Compared with the mental torture, this physical pain is nothing.
"Don't move." Liu Xia stood up and grabbed Ding Ruotong's arm who wanted to dodge, and casually took out the hemostatic ointment hidden in his clothes. The ointment on his fingertips had a bitter mint scent, and the fresh bloodstains on Ding Ruotong's wrist had been covered by the white ointment.
The moment the ointment touched the wound, Ding Ruotong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she obediently did not move.
Liu Xia seemed tough but gently applied the medicine to her and then let go of her hand without saying a word.
At this time, the cage was empty. The Colosseum leader had just lost control of the cage, and the entire Colosseum was in a brief period of chaos.
There were only three people left in cage No. 957, which was originally crowded with fighting bulls. Except for He Tianlin and Ding Ruotong, everyone else had already run out.
The fighting bulls still locked in other cages were very restless, and the entire cage was filled with various discussions, questions, and the sound of banging on the iron doors.
Although this place seems safe, it is only temporary.
After all, the Colosseum was built a long time ago. Not only are there three gates made of fine iron at the entrance, but even the walls are made of steel mixed in. There are hundreds of guards. The people in cage No. 957 seem to have escaped, but in fact they can't get out of the gate at all.
The only reason for their safety at this time was the sudden death of the always invincible Bao Dan. If Bao Dan's guards were to organize themselves after a while, everyone would probably be in danger again. They had to continue to stir up trouble and release the thousands of bullfighting slaves in the cage before they could escape safely.
Now that I know there is a way to return to reality, I can't die here so easily!
Liu Xia's mind raced, and he immediately thought of a solution. "Time waits for no one. Let's go out and unlock the other cages, and organize to let everyone out!"
Without saying much, He Tianlin was quick-witted and immediately understood what Liu Xia meant after listening halfway.
"clear!"
He Tianlin didn't waste any time. He knew that time waited for no one, so he turned around and pulled Ding Ruotong out, telling her what to do as they walked.
Fortunately, one of them was smart and quick to react, and the other was quiet but had strong execution ability. In a short while, the three of them released all the more than 200 people from the 50 cages on this floor.
No one wants to be treated like livestock and fight to the death every day. Now that someone is taking the lead and there is a chance to escape, they will naturally listen to whatever is said.
Soon, the other layers of cages were also breached by the mighty army of fighting bulls. The guards looked fierce at ordinary times, but they were outnumbered and their morale was low. In addition, Liu Xia was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Under the powerful force and destructive power, the guards only put up a brief resistance before being breached by the bloodthirsty fighting bulls, resulting in heavy casualties.
These are fighting bulls that have been bullied for a long time. They have accumulated enough resentment and anger in their hearts. If it were not for this, they would have been swallowed up by the man-eating cage long ago. Now that they have caught the opportunity, none of them will show mercy.
Seeing that the mighty army of thousands of bullfighters was about to rush to the gate, the steel gate was just a hundred meters away.
Suddenly, there was a roar of breaking iron chains at the wall, and the steam pipe embedded in the wall made a dying hiss.
"They're going to activate the self-destruct device, seal all exits, and clear the area with high-temperature steam!" He Tianlin's pupils suddenly shrank. "Are they crazy? There are still hundreds of guards here!"
As if to confirm his prediction, inhuman screams suddenly erupted in the distance.
A prisoner, covered in smoke, slammed into the bars of the final cell door, his skin peeling off like melted wax.
"It's not a guard." Liu Xia saw the metal hook stuck in the man's back. It was the same method Bao Tao used to execute traitors, a blood-red butcher knife. "It's Bao Tao. Bao Dan's brother is here."
