Survival Arena

Chu Ge sprinted down the street, his muscles taut, exuding an impressive might.

He was very fast, and the Tokyo police couldn't catch up with him at all.

Along the way, he encountered other Survivors.

Those Survivors tried to divert disaster westward, but upon seeing the entourage behind Chu Ge, they were all so frightened that they turned and fled.

Even the Tokyo Police Officers chasing them were scared off.

"It's that lion that's been very popular lately!"

"It's so strong!"

"Luckily our mission targets are these underlings."

"Don't say that, wolves are also dangerous."

"Continue the mission, finish it early, the pressure from above is great, don't take it lightly!"

Chu Ge didn't understand their language, nor did he care what the Tokyo Police Officers along the way were saying.

As he ran, he kept an eye on the environment in front of him.

He was fast, but he couldn't shake off those motorcycles.

Whenever he shook off the pursuit at a crossroad, he would be caught up with at the next one.

It was clear that humans were using satellite technology.

They could use satellite surveillance to track Chu Ge's escape route and easily block him in the complex city.

"This won't work."

Chu Ge's eyes flickered as he thought of a strategy.

The only thing he could rely on was his Change Color Ability.

He had to find a blind spot in the surveillance, then change color and mix up the signals.

He started running circles around Tokyo Tower.

The Tokyo Police Officers chasing him wouldn't mind, as they were in cars and didn't tire easily.

Gradually, more and more Tokyo Police Officers joined the chase to capture Chu Ge.

Residents in nearby apartment buildings and hotels stood at their windows to watch the commotion, and some even took out their phones to record it.

The night became lively.

Chu Ge's physical strength was formidable, but he couldn't withstand the prolonged exertion.

There was a large shopping mall ahead on the street side. Chu Ge gritted his teeth and immediately changed direction.

Bang!

He smashed through the glass window and rushed into the dim mall.

The police cars and motorcycles all came to a halt.

"Everyone, be careful!"

The team leader cautioned immediately, while instructing his subordinate, "Contact the mall, get them to turn on the lights!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate immediately stepped aside and took out their phone.

On the other side.

Among the darkness, Chu Ge could see very clearly.

He dashed up the stairs toward the higher floors.

In such dark conditions, those Tokyo Police Officers certainly wouldn't dare to come in recklessly.

Chu Ge left urine in various places, misleading the police dogs.

Three minutes later.

He quickly arrived at the top floor of the mall, where he smashed through the ceiling vent and climbed up.

The ventilation duct was a tight fit for him, and crawling was difficult.

He gritted his teeth and persisted.

After roughly six or seven minutes, he reached the exit.

With a swat of his paw, he sent the iron grate flying and climbed up through the ventilation shaft.

Dozens of meters above the street, a misstep could have sent Chu Ge plummeting to his death.

He made use of Raging Flame Separation, concentrating the heat in his paws, allowing his claws to effortlessly pierce the sheet metal walls as he slowly climbed up.

Soon, he reached the rooftop of the mall.

After landing, Chu Ge began to assess his surroundings.

To his surprise, he discovered a stairwell that led to the interior of the mall.

"Damn it!"

Chu Ge cursed under his breath, looked around swiftly, and sprang into action.

He pushed all the miscellaneous items on the rooftop to the stairwell door, blocking it.

Fortunately, there were many old electrical appliances piled up there, enough to prevent humans from being able to push through.

It was unlikely that humans would bomb the door directly because of this.

Unassured, Chu Ge didn't stop until he had barricaded the doorway with all the appliances.

He lay prone at the railing, gazing at Tokyo Tower not far away.

No matter what chaos befell the city, the Tokyo Tower remained as wondrous as ever.

Additionally, that eerie music began to grow louder.

It signaled midnight was drawing closer and closer.

Chu Ge remained silent, patiently waiting.

Half an hour later, the door to the rooftop corridor was struck by someone, accompanied by faint cursing.

After banging for a while, those people retreated.

Chu Ge understood that he couldn't hold out much longer.

He would have to relocate again tonight.

...

Half past eleven at night.

Chu Ge lay prostrate in front of the railing, extremely irritated.

The creepy music had grown so loud it was deafening, affecting his hearing.

Deathly silence!

Weeping!

War drums!

Shouts!

With these sounds converging, Chu Ge found it difficult to stay calm.

He always felt like an enemy could appear at any moment.

"Damn it! Do we have to play with heartbeat?"

Chu Ge cursed inwardly.

No matter how uncomfortable, he had to endure!

Meow—

A cat's meow came from behind him.

Chu Ge instinctively looked back and saw the Sorcerer Cat approaching him.

"You again."

Chu Ge said in surprise, his expression a bit strange.

Had he been affected by unconventional survival substances again?

He noticed that the Sorcerer Cat's tail was missing a piece; it seemed the poor thing hadn't been having an easy time lately.

The Sorcerer Cat came up to Chu Ge and sighed, "Can you carry me in flight?"

Chu Ge was taken aback.

Carry in flight?

The Sorcerer Cat's expression was tangled, clearly embarrassed.

Chu Ge laughed, "Sure, but following me is dangerous. You've seen the situation below."

The Sorcerer Cat sighed, "I'm entangled with unconventional survival substances, and now the whole city is locked down, even the temples are closed. Aren't you adept at Ignition? If I follow you, I can keep my sanity."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge stepped back two paces.

He cautiously asked, "Could you infect me?"

The Sorcerer Cat glared at him; what a thing to ask!

"How could that be possible! Unconventional survival substances require you to approach them directly to be hexed; what's on me poses no threat to you," the Sorcerer Cat said through gritted teeth.

Chu Ge nodded, though his face still bore traces of doubt.

Better safe than sorry!

However, since the Sorcerer Cat had helped him, he couldn't just drive it away.

"How did your tail get broken?" Chu Ge asked curiously.

The Sorcerer Cat didn't hide it; affected by unconventional survival substances, it had inexplicably soared into the air, then crashed onto the street, nearly dying upon impact. Afterwards, when it was half-crippled, it encountered an attack from another Survivor; its tail was bitten, and it had to use its gecko tail-shedding ability to escape.

It suspected that it hadn't really flown but had been deceived by vision and walked up high before falling down.

Chu Ge furrowed his brow and asked cautiously, "Could there really be ghosts?"

The Sorcerer Cat's experiences were even more thrilling than his own.

On hearing that, the Sorcerer Cat glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Impossible! I believe in science!"

"It was definitely the influence of unconventional survival substances!"

Chu Ge upon hearing this, had no choice but to drop the subject.

Though he said no more, he waited patiently for midnight to arrive.

The time passed second by second.

The creepy music grew louder and louder.

Chu Ge felt like the world was going to explode!

He lay on the ground, his paws over his ears.

The Sorcerer Cat didn't understand what was happening to him, and he couldn't tell it; all he could do was shake his head.

"Could the unconventional survival substances on him not have been completely cleared?"

The Sorcerer Cat muttered, its gaze filled with worry.

It was the last remaining member of its Survival Team.

If it died, it would mean the team's annihilation.
