Volume 5: A New Era Chapter 162 Response
"I give up!" Zhang Hao stepped back, wary of the opponent's sudden attack.
Now, out of the 365 regular members, there are less than 300 left.
Most of those who disappeared lost their lives due to various "accidents".
After death, their ranking position is directly locked.
This has led to a phenomenon: killing the chicken to get the eggs!
When a contestant's condition is getting worse and worse, the number of wins is not high enough to be exempted from the competition, but the ranking is very important.
The powerful people behind the scenes will then find a way to kill the contestant and keep the ranking.
This is truly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
And as the game progresses, this phenomenon continues to occur.
Everyone became more cautious in their challenges, because once they failed and were seriously injured, they could easily be killed.
You have to face not only your opponent, but also the capital behind you who is ready to take action at any time.
However, surprisingly, in the face of such coercion, these contestants did not resist at all, but endured it submissively, and then in the next battle, they showed their value more.
Even Gongren was complaining crazily online, saying that these people have been completely domesticated.
On the contrary, the easier problem is that Lu Bai’s first place is very stable.
Ever since he defeated Chang Lan and made brief peace with the powerful, he had been living a more comfortable life.
In fact, at this point, ranking is no longer important to them.
As people from foreign lands, even if they occupied 365 electoral seats, they would not be able to gain real power afterwards.
They rely on the trade between the next two domains. As long as trade can be established, they can gain respect even without the official status.
Therefore, the key point is how to face the changes in the entire dimension and gain enough influence in it.
As long as this influence exists, their dimensional key as a copy can become unique.
So ranking is not important, what is important is to eliminate the opponent.
But even though Lu Bai provoked them several times, both the people at the zoo and the costumers held back.
Obviously, they also knew that if they faced Lu Bai alone on the ring, they would have no chance of survival.
If you don't want to die, or don't want to die without accomplishing anything, you must endure Lu Bai's provocation.
All members of the armored team are in a rear position, basically dealing with the challenges, and spending the rest of the time studying and researching the technology of this dimension.
So even though the staff is still complete, there is no need to cause trouble for them.
But just because they resisted challenging Lu Bai didn't mean that Lu Bai and his people wouldn't cause trouble for them.
Hu Niu, Wei Wei, Tian Shi, Jiang Yue and Gou Zi are all looking for opportunities to challenge them.
Most of these people simply chose to give up.
Of course, I do have some ideas.
Zhu Li sat in the room, feeling a lingering low mood. His untidy beard and messy hair made him look inexplicably sloppy.
There are some things he is actually very clear about.
Wang Erya hated not only him, but the entire zoo organization.
After all, what happened back then was indeed an experiment approved by the zoo's top management. Although he was not aware of it, he was still considered a half participant.
When he received the task to escort a secret experiment, he did not refuse and indeed made great contributions to the existence of the laboratory.
Therefore, when he learned the true nature of the experiment, he opposed its continuation and took in some of the test subjects.
The little monkey Sun Kai was also adopted by him at that time.
Wang Erya naturally hated the zoo. Although the zoo's experiment was stopped, the person who hosted the experiment was also "punished", but it was all an internal punishment, and there was no mention of handing him over to outsiders. In other words, he was suspended and fined, and after a period of time, he was still a senior executive of the zoo.
No one in the zoo can be said to be innocent.
His so-called atonement was more about giving Wang Erya some benefits without harming the main body of the zoo, and then letting Wang Erya give up seeking revenge.
This kind of behavior is indeed condescending. It feels like you have done something wrong, but you are saying, "I forgive you, so please don't make trouble for me."
The other party has reasons for not accepting it.
"But why did they kill Xiaokai?" Zhu Li felt extremely sad every time he thought of this.
There are some things he can understand, but he just can't accept them.
Wang Erya was indeed successful. He couldn't let go of his hatred. Now whenever he saw the other person, he wanted to kill him.
Xiao Kai said that he was his disciple, but he had raised him since he was a child and treated him as his own son.
It is difficult for outsiders to describe the feelings here.
He absolutely cannot accept the current situation where the elderly have to send the young off.
It was at this time that there was a slow knock on the door.
The staff walked in under the watchful eyes of the live fly ball.
"The 36th contestant Zhu Li, now the 37th contestant Wang Erya challenges you, will you choose to accept or admit defeat?"
The staff's words made Zhu Li suddenly raise his head.
The murderous intent in his eyes made the staff take a few steps back.
"You... don't be impulsive. If you hurt the staff, you will be punished!" the staff said hurriedly.
Zhu Li looked at the other person. His huge body brought him a great sense of oppression, and his heavy breathing was like a life-threatening rope, tightening his neck little by little.
According to the plan previously discussed with Junhun, it is best not to clash with the opponent at this stage.
If the other party wants to provoke you, just pretend you don't see it. If the other party wants to challenge you, just admit defeat.
Save your strength and wait for the opportunity later.
With red eyes, Zhu Li tried to restrain his murderous intent and was about to admit defeat.
Then I heard someone laughing outside.
"My son died, and I have been hiding in my house like a coward."
"No, that's not his son. He's so smart. He adopted a little monkey from a laboratory, brainwashed him, and talked about the deep love between master and apprentice, and the filial piety between father and son. In fact, he just used that dead monkey as a tool."
"That little monkey really thought the other person was a good person. He followed him blindly and regarded the thief as his father."
"So now you're just going to throw it away after you've used it? That's really heartless."
"It is said that the body of the little monkey was blown into pieces by a missile, and there was no one to collect the body."
"It's really tragic that the master I trusted doesn't even have the courage to seek revenge now."
There were two people outside, singing in unison.
His words were full of mockery of the master-disciple relationship between Zhu Li and Sun Kai.
Zhu Li stood up suddenly, and the sound of the military soul driving away was heard outside.
It was obvious that the other party sent these people to provoke him, in order to stimulate him and make him accept the challenge.
He has to hold back, not act on impulse or do anything rash, otherwise it will only disrupt his plans.
Just as he was thinking this, he walked towards the staff member unconsciously, and he couldn't bring himself to say the word "admit defeat".
What he couldn't stand was that the relationship between him and Xiaokai was challenged.
Perhaps at the beginning, he adopted Sun Kai out of guilt.
But afterwards, Sun Kai gradually grew up, and the feeling of watching life grow up little by little is difficult to compare with any other emotion.
Sun Kai was also very sensible. After he grew up, he gradually told the other person about his life experience bit by bit.
He originally thought that Sun Kai would resent him, but Sun Kai understood his difficulties and forgave him.
Such a sensible child, but now someone is tarnishing this truth, which he cannot forgive in any way.
"I accept!" Zhu Li's voice was terribly hoarse.
When the military soul outside heard this, he sighed and said that Zhu Li had lost his mind.
The once intelligent "pig" has completely collapsed and become disqualified at this moment.
These things shouldn't happen.
Adults, don't be so emotional. There are so many dark things happening in the zoo. Is it necessary to feel so guilty?
It's okay to feel guilty, but I also want to make compensation. It's okay to make compensation, but I can't satisfy the other party.
If the other party is bent on revenge, you should cut off the roots of the vengeance and then slowly make compensation on his grave afterwards.
As a result, Zhu Li almost ended up in his own grave due to a series of actions.
Junhun actually understood this. To put it bluntly, Zhu Li adopted Sun Kai because he felt guilty.
Because Sun Kai had benefited from the zoo since he was a child, he did not forgive Zhu Li from the perspective of a victim.
Precisely because his "son" was so sensible, Zhu Li wanted to resolve the incident even more.
Zhu Li himself didn't realize that he wanted to compensate Wang Erya just to respond to Sun Kai.
As a result, not only Sun Kai was involved, but even he himself was involved.
"Old Zhu, I really can't save you this time." Junhun thought.
