Survival Arena

Bang! Bang! Bang…

Bullets kept coming, and Chu Ge's body was soon grazed by their fire.

He furrowed his brows tightly.

The grazed spots tingled numbingly, indeed, these bullets were no ordinary ones!

He immediately sped up, charging ahead haphazardly.

The glass of the roadside shops shattered as he crashed through them, and he swiftly disappeared into the darkness inside, causing the Tokyo Police Officers to lose their target.

At the same time.

Above the Tokyo Tower.

Gu Tianjiao ran swiftly. From side to side, she could see the figures of other Survivors.

"So far I've spotted six Survivors, including myself, we are still three short. I hope there are other Hearts of the City at the top of the tower."

Gu Tianjiao thought to herself silently, but her steps did not stop.

The higher she went, the more the angle neared the vertical in relation to the ground.

If she slowed down, she would most likely fall to her death.

A cat has nine lives, but that wouldn't be enough if she fell from such a height.

"Roar—"

A domineering roar came from below, clearly the voice of Emperor Luosheng.

Emperor Luosheng had also come to provide support!

Gu Tianjiao squinted her eyes.

"I see… so this is what the city survival battle means…"

Gu Tianjiao murmured to herself as she continued to increase her speed.

That night.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Area was incredibly lively.

Many citizens could hear the intermittent roars of beasts and the wails of sirens.

Anxiety and panic spread through the city.

Chu Ge was still attracting gunfire.

But he found that the Tokyo Police Officers were coming in larger numbers.

As more bullets hit him, his speed began to decrease, and his consciousness started to blur.

He was going to be anesthetized!

"Damn… isn't this anesthetic effect a bit too strong?"

Chu Ge cursed angrily as his steps began to float.

With no other choice, he could only run in a direction away from the Tokyo Tower.

Now, he could only pin his hopes on Gu Tianjiao and the other Hearts of the City.

…

Half an hour later.

Chu Ge hid under a small bridge, in the dark.

He turned his head and could see the distant Tokyo Tower.

His consciousness grew more and more obscure.

Soon, he would sink into unconsciousness.

He was anxious, not wanting to wake up only to find out that the Survival Competition was a failure.

"Heart of the City ultimate task completed!"

"From now on, all Hearts of the City are free to move!"

The cold female voice suddenly rang out, and Chu Ge was stunned.

Completed?

That was impressive?

He immediately became excited, not expecting the ultimate task to be completed so quickly.

Because he hadn't reached the top of Tokyo Tower, he hadn't received any Survival Points reward, but he was still thrilled.

The completion of this mission could be said to be the result of the Survivors' united efforts.

If any Heart of the City hesitated, the progress of task completion would have been delayed.

For the first time, Chu Ge felt a sense of pride in being a Survivor.

Just after the ultimate task was announced, the Hearts of the City dared to rush towards Tokyo Tower!

Such courage is rare among ordinary people!

Suddenly, a series of eerie cries echoed through the night sky.

Very strange.

There were the calls of dolphins and the singing of whales.

The sounds were high-pitched, echoing throughout the Tokyo Metropolitan Area.

Chu Ge wondered if he had misheard, but as the sounds grew louder, he was certain he had not.

Where were these sounds coming from?

Could only the Hearts of the City hear them, or could everyone?

As Chu Ge pondered, his consciousness completely sank into darkness.

At the same time.

All the Tokyo Police Officers and firefighters in action came to a halt.

"Nee-oo—"

"Yee-woo—"

"Kerroo... Kerroo..."

The sounds of dolphins and whales echoed throughout Tokyo City, stirring even the sleeping citizens awake to check what was happening.

Besides these two marine animals' sounds, there were other strange calls.

People stepped out of their rooms and looked up, only to discover anomalies in the night sky.

The stars in the night sky were brighter than ever before.

Stars of varying brightness formed various patterns.

People were shocked to find that these patterns resembled marine animals.

All of Tokyo was thrown into an uproar!

"Is it really nature's revenge?"

A Tokyo Police Officer put down his gun, talking to himself.

No one responded to him, and the other furious Tokyo Police Officers were also lost in confusion.

At that moment, they were all thinking.

Who was their enemy?

Another country?

Wildlife?

An evil organization?

Or were they facing the wrath of nature?

If it were the latter, how could they resist?

...

Suddenly, Chu Ge felt his body soaked in water, and his consciousness began to awaken.

He slowly opened his eyes, his right eye saw an underpass, and his left eye saw the turbid river water.

He was lying in a small river.

He struggled to get up, but his whole body was weak and numb, unable to rise.

"Is the tide coming in?"

Chu Ge frowned at the thought. Fortunately, he wasn't completely submerged, otherwise, he really would've been depressed if he'd drowned.

Back in Bali Island, that was exactly how he died.

As expected.

Water overcomes fire.

Right now, Chu Ge really wanted to understand what had happened since last night.

Quickly, he heard boisterous noises coming from the bridge above.

Huh?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Area hadn't been this lively these past few days; people had been hiding in their homes.

Could it be that last night the Survivors were all caught in a single sweep?

Chu Ge's mind wandered as he began to mobilize the heat within his body, expelling the toxins and quickly recovering his muscles.

About half an hour passed.

He could finally stand up.

"Has human technology advanced so greatly? It made me struggle for so long."

Chu Ge muttered under his breath. He carefully walked to the edge of the underpass, peering out to see the bridge packed with people, the adjacent streets just as crowded—heads everywhere.

What was going on?

A protest? Creating trouble?

Chu Ge didn't dare to go out.

He looked at the sky, estimating it was already afternoon, the sun showing signs of setting.

He had actually been unconscious for an entire day and night.

The luckiest thing was that he hadn't been sniffed out by police dogs.

"No, could it be that the humans stopped the manhunt? Otherwise, I would definitely have been caught."

Chu Ge withdrew back into the underpass, silently pondering.

He began to wait.

Only as dusk arrived did the noise on the bridge begin to diminish.

After dark, there were hardly any people left on the bridge.

Chu Ge quietly slipped out.

As soon as he emerged, a familiar figure leaped down from a tree nearby, landing in front of him.

It was the Sorcerer Cat.

"Tsk tsk, how did it feel to be under the bridge all day?" the Sorcerer Cat asked teasingly.

Chu Ge replied irritably, "You've been here the whole time?"

The Sorcerer Cat nodded, smiling relaxedly, "The last day is almost here, we can relax. Last night, the calls of the marine animals sounded throughout the city, all night long. This morning, the citizens spontaneously organized to surround the Tokyo Tower, calling for an end to the killing of wildlife by humans, and the hunt for us has temporarily stopped."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge was even more curious.

"Everyone heard the sounds last night? Did the Survival Arena pull some trick?"

Faced with his questions, the Sorcerer Cat licked its paw, saying profoundly, "Right, it seems the Survival Arena isn't as evil as we thought."
