End of the World

"How are the others?" Wu Bin brought Li Xun over and asked Chen Guangjun.

"I can't find Qiao Xinghua and Brother Zhao!" Chen Guangjun glanced at Li Xun and shook his head.

"Qiao Xinghua was taken away an hour ago, and Uncle Zhao isn't here either?" Wu Bin couldn't help but frown. Was he sent to the arena like Qiao Xinghua?

At this time, He Yuxin came back from the other side. She went to the cage where the women were held to look for someone. The scene inside was shocking to her. The cage looked like a small dark room, with more than a dozen women held in it.

"Kiki!"

Li Xun couldn't help but get excited when he saw Lu Qiqi. He had been very worried about her safety since she was detained. Lu Qiqi was a girl and was considered pretty, which made her very dangerous in this environment.

Tears welled up in Lu Qiqi's eyes. During the time she was detained, people were taken away from time to time. She was very afraid that she would be the next one. The girls who were taken away never came back, and it was easy to guess why they were taken away.

"Li Xun, Sister Yun and Sister Zi Han were taken away by them!" Lu Qiqi cried. Fang Xiaoyun was taken away this morning, and Meng Zi Han was there to protect her. Originally, the people who came were interested in her, but Meng Zi Han stepped forward to take her place.

"Sister Yun, don't worry. When was Zi Han taken away?" He Yuxin stepped forward and gently stroked Lu Qiqi. She didn't have time to ask more questions just now.

"Sister Zi Han has been taken away for about half an hour. You guys should go and save Sister Zi Han!" Lu Qiqi was scared just thinking about it and hoped that nothing would happen to her.

"Sister Wen, are you okay?" Wu Bin looked at An Wenwen and Xiao Yuanxin. Xiao Yuanxin seemed to be in good spirits and she was holding He Yuxin's hand.

"It's okay, they didn't do anything to me!" An Wenwen shook her head. She was a pregnant woman and her belly was so big, those people would not be interested in her.

"Then your belly...!" Wu Bin looked at her big belly. It seemed that her belly had grown bigger since she came back from the mission.

"The little one might be about to be born, but they really know how to pick the time!" An Wenwen was helpless. She had a vague feeling recently and the time was about right. She originally thought that she would give birth in the cage. Fortunately, Wu Bin and the others arrived in time.

"Is there any problem with the operation?" Wu Bin looked at An Wenwen and couldn't help but worry.

"Jogging shouldn't be a problem!" An Wenwen felt a little guilty. She was also touched that Wu Bin and the others had not abandoned her until now.

Another girl nearby caught Wu Bin's attention. Her name should be Cheng Xiaochun, a professional nurse. She helped Fang Xiaoyun when she was bandaging his wound. Time was tight at the time, so he didn't ask in detail. Later, He Yuxin told him the truth.

Wu Bin didn't expect that Fang Xiaoyun would bring a nurse back with her when she went to the hospital. Other things happened during that time. He Yuxin rescued her during the riot and finally brought her back. It seems that He Yuxin also took a fancy to her.

"Xiaochun, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Cheng Xiaochun smiled. Her real situation was similar to Lu Qiqi's, but she didn't reveal it easily. However, she looked up to Wu Bin for taking the risk to rescue his companions.

"We should go to the arena immediately without delay. If Qiao Xinghua is safe for the time being, we should rescue Meng Zihan first. Otherwise, this guy will go crazy if he finds out!"

"Leave this to me and Brother Jun. You stay here. Once we engage in a firefight with the enemy, you release these people and then go take back the RV!" Wu Bin made arrangements calmly, and then he and Chen Guangjun would attract firepower.

"Be careful!" He Yuxin pulled Wu Bin's hand.

"Don't worry!" Wu Bin patted He Yuxin's head and smiled, then took Chen Guangjun and ran towards the arena without looking back.

"Okay, I'll separate the keys and let these people unlock them themselves!" He Yuxin threw a bunch of keys to Li Xun, and the keys corresponded to the numbers of the cages.

The arena was actually a temporary enclosure built by them, with an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters, at most a large stage. The gladiators in the arena were the survivors they captured. Their opponents were sometimes the same survivors, or zombies. The members of the Red Society would design some corpse traps, and the captured zombies would be used to duel with others.

There were more than thirty people watching around the arena, all of them were beasts with human faces, at least that was what Wu Bin thought.

At this time, Qiao Xinghua came on the court and was cheered by the audience. In the previous game, he successfully killed three zombies with an axe. After resting for ten minutes, he was brought back to the court. This time his duel opponents were the other four survivors. The referee told them that only those who hold out to the end would have a chance to survive and could even join them. This was a selection method of the Red Society.

Except for the original members, all the subsequent members of the Red Dress Society were selected in this way. Those who were particularly outstanding and willing to join did not need to be selected in this way, such as mechanics or doctors, or others. Fang Xiaoyun was a doctor, but she did not reveal her profession, otherwise she would not have been dragged away and raped. Black Snake was not stupid. It was best to make a doctor surrender in other ways. What if he died in the fight? Professional medical staff were extremely valuable after the end of the world.

Wu Bin and the other man hid in a secluded corner and looked at Qiao Xinghua in the arena. These bastards actually asked him to duel with four other people. Wu Bin suppressed the anger in his heart. The damn Red Society was simply an evil organization. If possible, he really wanted to kill them all.

Qiao Xinghua regulated his breathing and slowly calmed down. He knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to kill four people. For Meng Zihan, he could not die, even if he had to turn into a devil.

The referee explained the rules of the game. There was a shelf in the middle of the dueling arena, which was covered with thorns. There were two machetes on top of the shelf. The duelists needed to snatch the keys from the table next to it and climb to the top of the shelf by stepping on the thorns. In the process of snatching the keys, they could use various methods to defeat other duelists.

The two duelists who eliminate three people and finally open the lock and obtain the machete win. The winners advance to the next round, and the losers will be fed to the captive zombies even if they don't die.

It is worth noting that the two gladiators who get machetes have to have an ultimate duel, using the machetes in their hands to kill each other and try to save themselves. If it is a miserable victory, the referee will also consider it a failure. What they want is a complete victory. After passing it, congratulations, you have temporarily saved your life, and they will consider letting you join.

After hearing the referee's rules of the game, the whole audience cheered. It was foreseeable that this would be an exciting duel, but the faces of the several protagonists in the field all darkened, especially those who were not good at fighting.

The onlookers didn't care about the expressions of the few people and urged them to start. They couldn't wait to see the wonderful performance.

"These beasts!" Chen Guangjun couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He really underestimated the darkness in these people's hearts. They actually created such a cruel duel game. They all deserve to go to hell.

"Ding Ding!" The referee rang the bell, and the five-man fight officially began. The onlookers shouted excitedly, and someone made a bet. Everyone placed their bets on the person they thought would win.

"Number One, you must win!"

"Number Two, I've got two days' worth of food on deposit. If I don't beat you, even if you die, I'll drag you out and whip your corpse, haha!"

“Number three…!”

The five people in the field were all on guard and had no intention of taking action first. Qiao Xinghua looked at the other four people and sighed. He could see the fear in their eyes.

"Get started, stop dilly-dallying!"

Two minutes passed and the five men showed no intention of taking action first. The audience also didn't want to have it any longer. They wanted a bloody scene, not what was happening now.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the referee shot and killed the closest person. A cold voice rang out in the field.

"Number three is eliminated!"

The remaining four people all changed their expressions, knowing that they couldn't continue to be deadlocked like this. The people who bet on number three all sighed, "What a damn bad luck! My bet! No one would feel sorry for the death of a fresh life."

One of them couldn't stand the pressure first, so he shouted and rushed towards the rack. As long as he got the machete, he would win. The other two would never agree to that. If he won, they would be eliminated.

The three of them started wrestling with each other before they even reached the stand. At this time, it was a test of physical strength. The three of them were a little malnourished, so they were equally matched and destined to fight of consumption.

Qiao Xinghua did not rush to attack. He was probably the only one in the best condition in the whole game, and he had learned the military's close combat skills, so he had a great chance of winning.

If possible, Qiao Xinghua would like to wait until the three players were exhausted before taking action, but the referee cast a cold gaze at him and Qiao Xinghua was forced to take action.

Qiao Xinghua went to the three-man fighting circle, pulled up one of the men, and punched him. He didn't use much force and the man just felt a little pain.

The man who was beaten soon noticed something was wrong. Although the opponent's punches hit him hard, he did not suffer any injuries. He soon noticed that Qiao Xinghua had been paying attention to the fight on the other side, probably waiting for the other two to decide the winner.

The man understood that Qiao Xinghua had learned fighting skills and could easily avoid his random punches, making it difficult to hit him.

Since Qiao Xinghua was interested, the man was happy to have a fake fight with him. He couldn't hit him anyway. But Qiao Xinghua was so strong, what should he do in the next fight? Forget it, let's just get through this one first! The man shook his head in his heart.

The atmosphere on the field reached a climax after Qiao Xinghua joined the battle. The difference was that it was a real life-and-death fight over there, while Qiao Xinghua and the man reached a tacit agreement and just slacked off on the field. Although the fight seemed intense, it did not have much impact on both sides.

"Qiao Xinghua, this kid, is actually slacking off with that guy?" Chen Guangjun is a professional fighter, so he can naturally see that the two people are just fooling around.

"So he is not in danger for the time being!" Wu Bin was a little worried when he saw that Qiao Xinghua was on par with the other man, but he felt relieved after hearing what Chen Guangjun said.

"Don't worry. I see that the fighting skills he has learned are pretty good. Even if he can't crush his opponent, he can still defeat him. It just takes some effort!" Chen Guangjun could tell at a glance what level Qiao Xinghua's fighting skills had reached.

"In that case, let's go rescue Meng Zihan first!" Wu Bin knew that a fight between ordinary people would not determine the winner in a short time. If they could rescue Meng Zihan within ten minutes, Qiao Xinghua would definitely not have any problems.
