Chapter 71 Fighter
……

A week has passed since the fight to escape from the arena.

A sandstorm swept across the desert.

The cave's open entrance keeps the storm of nanobots out in a way that is visually incomprehensible.

Sweet springs flow from what appear to be naturally formed holes in the cave.

Water is not hard to find in this place, but food is hard to find.

"Last time I came here, I was wondering why the cave in this damn place could stop the nanorobots, and there is also an endless source of water here?"

Qin Xia and Stoneman Brown sat face to face, talking about the past, the present, and the future.

Brown glanced at the gladiators who were drinking the water and said with a complicated expression: "When Nukeriya was still an amusement park, this was actually a toilet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gladiators who were drinking water looked up suddenly.

They didn't understand or care about Nukeria's past.

But they understand the word "toilet".

"Don't worry, the water here is filtered from any water source that can be collected from the surrounding area." Brown retracted his gaze, "but the water here is still ten thousand times cleaner than 99% of the water you have drunk in your life."

If it's clean, then there's nothing to worry about.

The gladiators continued to drink.

Brown also continued the previous topic - reviewing the escape from the arena a week ago.

"To be honest, I was nervous when I drove the aircraft here, because I thought the probability of your success was very low."

"You know...it happened so suddenly."

"Tark's spine was broken, and then the siege began. The high knights flew in the sky, and the guards suddenly appeared and began to attack the city."

Brown looked incredulous and worried.

"I don't know what your plans are exactly, but they certainly haven't kept up with the changes."

"Saro suddenly went to the arena. I was about to assassinate him, but I found him dead in the arena..."

"Did you never think that Salo would go to the arena, or that he would be killed by you?"

"..."

Qin Xia clicked his ears and nodded without objection: "Yes, it was too sudden."

Brown continued to sigh.

Qin Xia pretended to listen carefully, but in fact his attention was not on what happened a week ago, but on Angron.

Two children - Jochuca and Theseus.

Yochuka tapped Theseus' shoulder gently, motioning her to look at Angron and Crest.

But Theseus ignored Yochuka and focused on learning broadsword skills from the gladiator named Cromaci who used a brass broadsword.

Crest sat down before Angron.

After the sandstorm passed, Crest prepared to get up and go outside for patrol. After all, she was the only one who could fly in the sky and fly faster than a fighter jet.

But when he stood up, Crest's anti-gravity spear pulled Angron up half a meter from the ground. Because Yochuka had tied the chains to Crest and the Primarch's legs at some point.

Looking at the pranked Crest and Angron, the gladiators laughed out loud, even the two who were pranked laughed out loud.

Perhaps Crest and Angron had intended to cooperate with Yochuka, otherwise they would have surely noticed that the chain connected the two of them.

"Haha!" Qin Xia chuckled twice and turned to look at the chatterbox Stoneman who was still talking nonstop, "This kid."

"Although everything happened very suddenly, we still managed to get out." Brown said, "Luckily you knew the way and were somewhat prepared, otherwise I would have arrived too late and I'm afraid you would have been killed by the traps in the corridor."

Qin Xia was just about to say "hmm" or "ah" in response when he saw the mother of the two brothers, Yochuka and Yochula, walking towards her youngest son aggressively.

Yochuka turned and ran, but was caught by a laughing gladiator and given to the brothers' mother.

Then Yochuka was pressed on his mother's knees and beaten. At this time, Theseus turned his head to pay attention to Yochuka, and a smile flashed across his face.

"Are we really going to try to take over the Murray family's territory?" Brown mentioned his future plans.

"Of course." Qin Xia turned around quickly and said seriously that it was true. "This cave has no defenses and is very conspicuous in the desert. It is not a place to stay for long. We have to find a way to take over the territory of the Murray family."

Qin Xia lowered his voice again: "I know that most of the gladiators think this idea is not realistic, but they have not raised any opinions due to the principle of the sword edge. What do you think?"

Brown did not answer immediately. The chatterbox suddenly shut up, observed the faces of each gladiator, and then said a very brief sentence: "If you ask me, they don't have any ideas. These people never thought about living."

Qin Xia stared at the stone man.

Brown shrugged.

Qin Xia lowered his head and thought carefully.

This problem may not be changed until there is a major breakthrough in the situation.

Qin Xia changed the subject: "Three days ago, I asked the gladiators if they wanted to change their titles, such as from gladiators to fighters."

Brown nodded: "And then?"

"And they didn't want to." Qin Xia said helplessly, "They felt that the arena did enslave them, but part of the reason they were able to successfully fight their way out of the arena was because they had strong physiques and absolute discipline. They believed that these all came from the life of a gladiator."

"To be honest, I think their strong physique and discipline come from genetic modification, but they are not wrong... After all, genetic modification is only the lower limit, and the upper limit still requires their own training and exploration." Brown said.

Qin Xia agreed.

Brown went on to analyze: "In fact, it is good to continue to maintain the name of gladiator. They hate the slave owners, but they are also proud of the glory they have achieved in the arena, because these people have nothing since they were born, and the only thing they have is their record."

"On the other hand, as the stars of Nuceria, the gladiators had a reputation effect. When the people of Nuceria saw the gladiators' performances in the arena, they would think of what kind of people the gladiators were. In short, they would label these gladiators themselves."

"If the gladiators are seen as rebels and good guys, then future propaganda attacks by the High Knights will be less effective."

"Even if the gladiators were not considered good people, but villains, this identity still has appeal, because people are naturally diverse, and some people like villains."

Qin Xia listened to these words and felt that what Brown said was right.

Gladiators are Nucerias after all, and most of them grew up in the arena. Identity recognition is also one of the important reasons for their unity and cooperation.

So when Brown was still talking, Qin Xia ended the topic with one sentence.

"Now I am going to conduct an exploration of the subspace, looking for a way to quickly cross the subspace and return to reality."
