Survival Arena

Seeing Chu Ge remain utterly still, the masked person seemed annoyed, stomping on the rooftop and waving his hands.

Chu Ge looked at him with an expression reserved for a madman, which only infuriated him even more.

"Boss, what are you looking at?"

The voice of Local Snake came from inside the house, and right after that, he walked up to Chu Ge's side.

Following Chu Ge's gaze, his own expression froze.

"Him again! Like a ghost that won't go away!"

Local Snake cursed angrily, albeit with a somewhat weaker tone.

Clearly, he was somewhat afraid of the masked person.

This was the madman that even the Survival Neighborhood Committee couldn't handle.

After the masked person gave Local Snake the middle finger, he turned and left, quickly vanishing down the street behind the opposite villa area.

Chu Ge watched for a good while before he slowly turned around.

"Tonight, let's all sleep at the Survival House, just to be safe."

Local Snake had no objections.

However, Nangong hadn't returned yet, and they had to wait for him to join them.

Around ten o'clock, Nangong staggered back drunk.

Local Snake looked at him with disdain and said, "You're already a Survivor, and yet you get into this state, disgraceful!"

"What do you know! Boss Wang, let's continue... tonight, no one's leaving the private room..."

Nangong lay on the couch waving his hand and muttering.

Chu Ge immediately passed him the trash bin, lest he vomit all over the place.

Since Nangong was drunk, Chu Ge and the other had to take care of him.

That night, they were very cautious, the doors and windows tightly shut so they could detect any intrusion by the masked person at once.

Fortunately, the whole night passed without any stealthy attacks by the masked person.

At four in the morning, Nangong sobered up, and the three of them went to the Team Cultivation Hall to sleep.

Local Snake complained, "It's the last day, and you still went out drinking. What's more important, business or your life?"

Nangong felt embarrassed, wanting to argue but not knowing how to counter.

At that moment, he suddenly realized he had become complacent.

Not as tense as before.

In his subconscious, he believed that having Survival Points meant he wasn't in danger of losing his life.

"No... at this rate, I'm certainly doomed... and I'll drag my teammates down with me..."

Nangong was drenched in cold sweat, filled with remorse as he looked at Chu Ge, who was already asleep.

After scolding him a few times, Local Snake also went to sleep.

Chu Ge wasn't actually tired either; he had mostly been sleeping over the last couple of days.

His experiences on the Floating Island had made him too afraid of sleepiness.

Since there was nothing else to do, might as well catch some sleep.

Soon enough, Local Snake fell asleep.

Nangong then checked his Survival Skills list.

He felt he had to set a goal for himself, to not get too comfortable.

Two hours quickly passed.

Other members of Suicide gradually arrived at the Team Cultivation Hall.

Seeing the three sleeping figures, they didn't disturb them, but instead split up and chatted in various places.

Gu Tianjiao was telling Xiao Poor Thing some important things to take note of.

Ever since the city survival battle ended, Gu Tianjiao had been giving Xiao Poor Thing special attention, intending to focus on training Xiao Poor Thing.

The Teddy Dog looked ordinary, but in a human competition arena, it could play a significant role.

This indeed could be a path of growth to become stronger.

"The Survival Competition begins!"

"This Survival Competition will be a random species competition..."

"The rules are as follows..."

...

A series of voices awakened Chu Ge from his sleep.

He had just opened his eyes when a sense of disorientation hit him.

His vision once again plunged into darkness.

After a while,

Chu Ge felt noise by his ears, as if numerous loudspeakers were broadcasting the hawking sounds of a movie.

He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view were rows of Xiao Goldfish.

He also turned into a Xiao Goldfish and gathered with the surrounding goldfish, making it hard to discern who he was.

It was a huge blue pool, and upon closer inspection, it was an inflatable fish pond.

"Boss!"

"Team leader!"

The surrounding goldfish swiftly swam over.

There were a total of eight.

Chu Ge couldn't tell who was who.

Besides them, there were dozens of other goldfish belonging to different Survival Teams, and they quickly scattered, each hiding in a corner.

Together with Suicide, there were five Survival Teams in total, all composed of goldfish of various sizes.

Chu Ge noticed a huge fishing net on the edge of the pond, its pole leaning against one side of the pool's inflatable cushion.

"Oh, mother, how have we turned into goldfish? This..."

Ye Wukong exclaimed in desperation. What kind of combat power could a goldfish have?

All of their moods were down.

Including the usually composed Xiao Hero.

Gu Tianjiao said helplessly, "It seems that in this round of Survival Competition, we can only play it safe."

Play it safe again!

Chu Ge's scalp tingled at the thought.

He had been holding back for nearly half a month, just waiting to go on a rampage!

At that moment,

a giant appeared at the edge of the fish pond, more precisely a boy, who was a giant only in the eyes of Chu Ge and the others.

The boy was dark and thin, his eyes wide open, excitedly staring at the goldfish in the pond.

Soon after, three more boys came over, and they began to pick out goldfish together.

"Being a goldfish isn't bad, at least there's no danger," mumbled General Lie Hao, as bubbles came out of his mouth as he spoke.

Chu Ge gave a wry smile; it was a kind of consolation, he guessed.

A middle-aged man stood up from the side of the fish pond and handed each of the four boys a paper net.

It looked like a long spoon, except that the net for catching the fish was made of paper.

Chu Ge suddenly realized.

They had become the little goldfish sold at street stalls.

As a child, he had played with them, too.

One yuan for a net, catch as you like, and you could take away what you caught.

But this kind of paper was special; it would easily tear upon touching water, so you had to be careful with your speed and strength.

"I never thought I'd see the day,"

Chu Ge said with another wry smile. As a child, he found it quite fun, but now that he had become a Xiao Goldfish awaiting capture, his feelings were complicated.

The four boys began to fish, and the survivors in the pond hurriedly started to dodge.

If they were ordinary goldfish, it might be alright, but these goldfish were transformed survivors, so how could they let a few kids catch them?

After a while,

one of the boys started to cry loudly, drawing people around to gather.

The agility of the goldfish caught the attention of the adults, and soon, the fish pond was surrounded by people.

This scene reminded Chu Ge of a certain anime from The Island Nation.

Certain giants!

"What if we're caught by different people? Won't we be separated?" Nangong asked nervously, a concern that began to worry everyone.

"Will there be Electric Eels in the bathtub where I live behind?"

"I'm afraid of turtles; when I was a child, I put goldfish and turtles together, and the goldfish mysteriously disappeared."

"I'm afraid of cats, man, there are too many domestic cats now."

"Stop talking, you're making me scared."

"Big fish eat little fish, and in an ordinary household fish tank, we are the smallest fish."

The crowd spoke all at once, and Chu Ge also became anxious.

Upon reflection, the fate of most goldfish was quite miserable.

Even under the careful care of humans, they always ended up dead or missing.

The goldfish was undoubtedly the most humble of pets to humans.

Just then, Fish Boss suddenly picked up his own fishing net and scooped forcefully. Chu Ge, General Lie Hao, Nangong, Ye Wukong, and Arno were caught off guard and scooped up together.
