Prison Island

Chapter 43: Eliminating the Radiant

Just when everyone had finalized the invitation, a shout was heard outside the house.

"Where are the people! Come out!"

I saw a muscular man from the Viking gang walking towards me, carrying an axe.

He walked through the arena and went straight to the door of the white square's base. He looked directly inside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"boom!"

Then he swung the axe and smashed it on the window.

However, it is obvious that the material of the base is extraordinary, and it is impossible for the gladiators to directly kill into the opponent's base.

The muscular man tried to open the door again, but couldn't break it down, so he didn't waste his energy.

When everyone saw him getting so close, they all fell silent.

Gao Xin moved closer and looked at the other person through the window.

"We admit defeat in this round. Please go back."

Seeing that they had no intention of sending anyone out, the muscular man's expression changed: "How can you still be afraid of a fight?"

Apparently he just realized that he didn't have to fight.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the door and said, "Open it."

Gao Xin smiled and said, "You really want to come in? Sure, wait a moment. Once we've deducted enough blood and the duel is over, we'll let you in."

He turned around and said a few words to Qiao Long and others, and immediately a group of people went upstairs and went to the voting room together.

Gao Xin was left standing alone in front of the window, and he seemed to be really planning to open the door.

"What the hell..."

The muscular man's eyes were filled with murderous intent, knowing that once he went in, he would be in great danger.

The defeated camp can initiate an anti-espionage campaign within its base, voting to kill any member of the base. As long as more than half of the votes are cast, the anti-espionage campaign will be successful.

"Humph, do you think you can kill my elder brother by turning him white?"

Gao Xin stroked his chin and said, "It seems that there is a lot of harmony in your base. Does your eldest brother dare to confess that he has betrayed you?"

The muscular man sneered, "Confess? As long as we don't lose this time, there will be no way to eliminate traitors in the base. What's there to say..."

"What? You want to tell her? Do you think Sophia will just believe your 'instigation' and start a quarrel with us? She didn't even bother to send someone to listen to your nonsense."

Gao Xin had an idea in mind. It seemed that the situation on the other side was very delicate.

Louis, the hammer man, did not dare to expose his betrayal and did not make any move. Sophia did not insist on finding out who had betrayed. The entire black team maintained a superficial harmony.

However, Gao Xin smiled, this was exactly the best situation for him.

If a problem is not spoken out, it will always be a problem.

The muscular man said coldly: "Boy, what are you laughing at? The black camp can't lose. You are all glass men, even if you are united enough, what can you do?"

"Without the help of the Radiator, even if you win the invitation, you won't be able to hurt us! Haha, as long as we fully arm the gladiators and equip them with guns, you probably won't even be able to beat the Glass Man."

"On the contrary, if you lose the invitation letter, you will definitely lose health!"

"Without my eldest brother's vote, any of you who want to rebel will fail. All we have to do is turn my eldest brother back to black before the final duel."

"I want to see how long you can hold out! With only two options, both of which fail, there will be more and more options to come, and sooner or later you will lose all your blood."

"When the time comes, all of you white guys will be killed."

"Hey, we are merciful and willing to take in five of you. Whoever comes and opens the door first will live!"

The muscular man sneered, as if they had already won.

Qiao Long and the others upstairs could hear it clearly.

Indeed, according to him, if the game continues like this, White will lose sooner or later.

It's nothing more than relying on united voting to possibly survive a few more rounds.

In response, Gao Xin actually nodded: "Since you all think you are sure to win, then it will be easy."

"Huh?" The muscular man was surprised.

At this moment, the white number 5 in the white base suddenly exploded and turned into 4.

The time for the White Team to play has come, but no one on the White Team plays, so they are automatically deemed the loser. The White Camp loses 1 health point, leaving 4 points.

The duel is over and it's time for the muscular man to go back.

He sneered and said, "You failed in the first round, so stop being so mysterious. Since you don't want to fight, just stay here."

"It's just a pity for you indulgences."

Just as he turned to leave.

Gao Xin's voice came from behind: "Do you really think that if you don't lose, you can't vote to kill people? Is it possible that gladiators can also kill people by voting?"

"Huh?" The muscular man was startled.

He turned around and said disdainfully: "Gladiators vote, kill people? What? Can I die in the hands of a glass man?"

Gao Xin stared at him: "Do you really think you can go back?"

Hearing this, the muscular man's expression finally changed.

"Wha...what?"

He thought of something and suddenly looked towards the black base. Although it was blurry, he could vaguely see... there seemed to be a fighting going on inside!
"what?"

The muscular man was horrified and rushed towards the black base without caring about anything else.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that there was indeed a fight going on inside, and it was a fierce fight!
"Hahaha!" Sophia fired both guns wildly, chasing and shooting at one person.

The other four men in black vests also had formidable fighting power and besieged Louis and another brother.

"Brother! Open the door quickly!" The muscular man banged on the door desperately.

But his three companions were in danger at the moment.

We already lost one person at the beginning, and now he is outside again.

There were only Louis and two other brothers left, fighting three against five. In a precarious situation, how could they have the energy to open the door?
Even more frightening is...

The winner in the arena must return to the base within one minute, otherwise he will be killed.

"hastily!"

The muscular man banged the door frantically, swung the axe, accelerated his power, his muscles bulged, and even white smoke came out, and his organs overclocked.

Still, I can’t break down the door!

"Open the door! Open the door!"

He went crazy. He looked through the window and saw a glass man curled up on the ground in the corner, shouting at him hurriedly.

But the glass man was trembling and didn't dare to move at all, for fear of being affected by some attack. How could he care about the people outside the door?
The muscular man was extremely horrified, and he yelled to Louis: "Brother! Brother! Open the door!"

Louis inside has also overclocked his organs and used every possible means.

He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the door despite suffering heavy damage.

"Hahaha!"

"boom!"

Sophia with twin ponytails was standing near the gate shooting, she dodged and stood in front of Louis, firing wildly with both guns.

Each shot had a small explosion effect. In order to open the door, Louis blocked one shot with a sledgehammer, but was hit by one as well. His body was mutilated on the spot and he flew out with black smoke.

The people outside the door were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

"Hello! Over here!" Gao Xin's voice suddenly came.

The muscular man turned around and saw the door of the white base was open.

At this moment, he had no choice but to grab this life-saving straw and rush into the white base desperately.

Finally, before the countdown started, he rushed into the gate of the white base.

Seeing that the instant kill did not come, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he saw that there was no one on the first floor, he was horrified and shouted upstairs: "No, don't vote! Let's talk!"

Gao Xin half appeared from the end of the stairs and looked down at him: "You should at least have something to say."

The muscular man twitched his lips and lowered his head and said, "We shouldn't underestimate you."

"It's not this sentence." Gao Xin said lightly.

The muscular man frowned and said, "We can cooperate and deal with Sophia together."

Gao Xin shook his head: "That's not it either."

The muscular man stared at him and said, "I have 500 points. I'll give them all to you after the game."

"Five hundred?" Gao Xin smiled. Last time in the game, a radiator also told him five hundred. Is this the market price?
At this time, Dongfang Yi appeared from beside Gao Xin and whispered a few words.

Gao Xin said: "Speak louder."

Dongfang Yi said loudly: "The votes have been cast, and you are the only one left."

The muscular man was furious and threw the axe in his hand: "Fuck! What do you want me to say!"

Gao Xin and Dongfang Yi were already on guard and dodged directly into the blind spot.

When he caught up to the second floor, he saw Gao Xin standing in the voting room with the door closed to a crack.

"Say goodbye." Bang, the door was locked.

The muscular man was so angry that his facial features were distorted, but there was nothing he could do.

"The voting to kill traitors is over."

"No!"

A beam of light descended and he turned into ashes on the spot.

Soon, everyone came out of the room.

Dongfang Yi said directly: "Good death!"

Meimei calculated: "If all the people voted to die, each of them would get one thousand, so ten people would get ten thousand."

Qiao Long groaned and said, "The other side is still killing each other."

Dongfang Yi said loudly: "It is normal for the radiators to kill each other, especially the Viking gang, who started with one less person than Sophia's group."

"But Sophia probably felt that she was not completely confident in a five-on-four situation and was worried that her side might suffer casualties, so she first stabilized the opponent and then used the gladiators to vote and send one of them out..."

"When the opponent is about to return, we can strike again, creating a five-on-three situation. At the same time, we can use a single kill to eliminate one of them."

Gao Xin looked at him and said, "Actually, what the Vikings said is correct. If the two Radiators really unite, the black team will almost certainly win. The white team can only delay at best, but will lose sooner or later."

"But the hidden danger is in instigation. If our people are very united and can work together, we can instigate people over there to rebel... disrupt the vote over there, and even rely on invitation voting to delay it for a long time."

"And the alliance between the Radiators is very fragile. Once someone is turned, it means that there are hostile camps all around. Killing them will give you an indulgence."

“That’s the eternal threat.”

Meimei was a little confused and asked, "I know all this, but if that's the case, shouldn't we find a way to tell Sophia that we have instigated Louis to rebel?"

Dongfang Yi smiled: "If we say it, does she have to listen?"

"If we go to great lengths to deliver messages using gladiators, throwing secret letters, or shouting, it would seem like we are trying to sow discord, almost like we are saying 'I wish you would kill each other'."

"Also it might show that we are united and have some kind of strategy to win... She will think about these things."

"Under this situation, unless Louis makes a rash move himself, Sophia won't rush to take action, and may wait and see for another round or two."

"Because when we are united in public, we in white are the enemy."

Everyone nodded. They had to ensure the game advantage first. As for fighting with the other group of radiators, they didn't need to rush. After all, she had more people and took the initiative.

Gao Xin looked out the window at the chaotic battle happening across the street.

He sighed, “If they are honest with each other and work together to deal with us, that would be troublesome.”

"Then the black team can use Louis's white identity to prevent us from recruiting a second person, which is really hard for us to accept."

"Fortunately, Louis didn't dare to confess, and Sophia didn't ask. Both sides were in a delicate situation, and they both acted as if nothing had happened."

“The less you speak up to solve the problem, the more of a problem the hidden danger becomes.”

"At a time like this, we just need to give Sophia a push and make her think that we are not united and pose no threat..."

"Then she will consider dealing with the hidden threats around her first."

"Really? Xing Shiping? Did you tell the other party the contents of our next round of invitations?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xing Shiping.

Meimei was surprised and asked, "Has he been betrayed?"

Xing Shiping's face changed: "What?"

Gao Xin stared at him and said, "Let me ask you, did you give the other party a tip?"

"I..." Xing Shiping realized that when his expression changed drastically, it was tantamount to confessing.

He immediately said, "Yes! I have betrayed you. When I came out of the voting room, I was already on the black side!"

The curly-haired boy and his friends looked at Xing Shiping in surprise. Recalling that time, they also felt a little strange. Xing Shiping came out of the room, looking serious and depressed.

"Brother Xing, you told us not to lie, but it turns out you were lying at that time?" The square-faced man was also dumbfounded.

Xing Shiping said in a deep voice: "I didn't lie, I did vote square, it was only after I left that I suddenly saw the news of my betrayal in my eyes."

"I just didn't say it on my own initiative, and you didn't ask."

Meimei shouted, "I was going to ask..."

Gao Xin held her down and said, "I know, that's why I didn't let you ask. We were just like the other side at that time, and we also needed this kind of superficial harmony."

"Harmony what?" Xing Shiping said excitedly: "I was just hiding it, but you were lying!"

"What about bringing all the glass men alive? That's simply not true."

"I asked you repeatedly if you really wanted the glass man on the other side to survive, and you said yes. If that's not a lie, what is it?"

The curly-haired boy was stunned: "Ah? Brother Xing, didn't I tell you before? It's okay to be afraid of fighting."

"As long as you don't become a gladiator, you are not bound by the rules of the deathmatch. Just now, we didn't send anyone out, and we lost a drop of blood directly, but there is no other problem."

Xing Shiping pulled him and yelled, "Yes, you can be afraid of fighting, but you will still lose blood!"

"Kill all members of the camp whose health is emptied."

"So we have to destroy the opponent's health, and the defender must send out glass men, not radiators."

"In other words, if you want to win this game, you have to sacrifice the five glass men on the other side."

"Although I know there is no other way, sacrificing those NPCs is better than sacrificing us."

"But you said you wanted to keep the other side's glass man alive as well. This is simply ridiculous. If you don't sacrifice the other side, are you going to sacrifice us?"

"Who knows what you are planning? I can only prioritize protecting myself and my friends!"

Gao Xin said calmly: "The other side can also avoid fighting."

"Or, before the white side's health is depleted, all the glass people can become black, that's fine too."

Xing Shiping and others were speechless. After thinking carefully, it seemed to be the case.

But then he said: "But...but this is too idealistic! How can the other side avoid fighting?"

"In the Redemption Game, as long as the Radiant and the Glass Man are on the same field, this kind of harmonious situation will not be possible."

"Are you trying to say that they don't want the glass man to die in our hands, so they plan to kill him themselves? And then lose blood in vain?"

"No, if one drop of blood is lost, the whole team will lose one thousand. But if one person from the enemy camp is killed, only that single player will gain one thousand."

"The radiators on the other side came in groups, how could they do that?"

"As for turning all members to black, it would take too long and there would be too many unexpected events. You also said before that we simply can't have such a long tacit understanding battle."

Looking at Xing Shiping's worried and determined expression, Gao Xin shook his head slightly.

He said firmly: "I completely understand your feelings. You want to survive with your companions. As long as the five of you turn black, you can win with them."

"But, in the game of redemption, the glass man should never expect a way to survive from the radiator!"

"Because trusting them every step of the way is like gambling with your life."

"The more you want them to take you alive, the more they will look down on you and the less they care about your life."

"The only way is to respect yourself first, treat yourself as a real player, and be more ruthless than them."

"You said the Radiator wouldn't do it? Then why don't you ask me if I would do it?"

"I'm not doing it yet!"

"I want to achieve the ending where all glass people survive. If the radiators disagree, I will get rid of them!"

Xing Shiping and others were stunned. They finally realized that their way of thinking was different from Gao Xin's.

All glass people naturally feel that they are inferior. They never think of killing the radiators, but only want to find the winner among the radiators and live with him.

But Gao Xin said that he put himself in an equal or even higher position, and never cared whether the radiators agreed or not. If they disagreed, they were enemies, even if these enemies were extremely powerful, they were still enemies.

Gao Xin patted Xing Shiping on the shoulder and said, "As long as there is no radiation user forcing them, why would those glass people come out to die?"

"In this game, there is absolutely no indulgence for the ten NPCs on the opposite side. Their greatest and only desire is to stay alive!"

"They will follow whoever can keep them alive!"

Everyone nodded. Indeed, this was self-explanatory.

The only thing that matters to NPCs is that they stay alive. As long as they're alive, they'll do whatever you tell them to do.

If all the radiators can be successfully eliminated, the situation will become... ten glass men on the black side and ten glass men on the white side.

This game ends however you want it to end.

Xing Shiping came back to his senses and stared at Gao Xin. He didn't expect that he really intended to keep the opposing NPC alive.

"Are you...are you serious? We can't even protect ourselves, are we still going to risk our lives to save the ten people on the other side? Are we willing to fight to the death with all the radiators on the other side? Are we going to wipe them out?"

Gao Xin stared at him: "You got the logic wrong."

"It is precisely because we cannot save ourselves that we must save the other side!"

"In this game, it's hard to win if we work alone. If we can unite all the NPCs on the other side, we can eliminate the radiators."

"Only by eliminating the radiator can we save the NPC on the other side."

"And we can survive and even get a good reward. These things complement each other and are very profitable. Why not do it?"
