At the moment when she looked at Itrisna, Perlis heard a loud shout from behind her -
"Little princess, be careful!"
Time seemed to slow down. Perlis turned around slightly and caught a glimpse of the giant steel fist flying in the air.
And the red line that split the giant fist in two—
"bass--"
The slender hand lifted up, as light as wielding an ink pen. The red slash was like a storm, instantly splitting the giant body that attacked from behind into two, splashing out a fierce spark of factor energy.
When Perlis looked into the distance, she found that the giant statue controlled by Carly had been smashed to pieces - it seemed that without a head, the fighting power would be much weaker.
It was a close call, thanks to Perlis's quick reaction and the mysterious red line.
What is that line?
"Zizi..."
Perlis looked at her wrist and found several red arcs flashing, lingering around her wrist, and then immediately disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, the strange geometric symbol with red light flashed through her mind again, like a bright fire in the night.
"..."
"Giggle...cough..."
The colossus that had lost half of its body passed by Perlis due to inertia. It staggered a few steps and finally fell in front of Itrisna, with milky white blood splattering on the loess.
It seems that she lost completely.
"You lose, [North Star]."
"Boom——"
Under the energy thunderstorm, Perlis looked indifferently at Itrisna, the defeated mercenary.
“Hehe..hehehe…”
Itrisna looked at the broken colossus. This was the highest masterpiece of Lansta industry, but it turned into a pile of scrap metal at the border.
For a moment, her eyes were blank, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her.
But soon, the dullness turned into madness, driving Idrisna to speak:
"【Pure White Fireworks】...You are very interesting..."
As Idrisna spoke, she bent down in front of the remains of the colossus. She gently stroked the colossus's back with one hand, as if looking for something.
Not long after, her hand stopped gently, then grasped tightly, as if she was holding something.
"I have to admit... you irritated me."
"Om-"
Itrisna pulled violently, and a long strip was pulled out from the broken body of the colossus, accompanied by flying sparks and milky white biochemical fluid.
Perlis immediately recognized the object - it was the mechanical spine of the colossus.
"Bam—"
Under the black cloud, Idrisna swung the spine of the colossus fiercely, creating a crack on the ground. She held her mechanical bone whip in one hand and the spine of the colossus in the other, like a judge from hell, summoning the red thunder in the sky -
"Boom——"
Itrisna raised her head, her distorted face illuminated by the lightning, looking extremely creepy.
"Break it, hamster!"
Perlis subconsciously dodged backwards, and the next second, the pair of bone whips set off a violent storm, sweeping across the battlefield -
"boom--"
The remaining buildings were torn apart by the storm of the double whips. Perlis retreated backwards again and again, and soon she had some distance from Itrisna.
By the time Perlis pushed to the side of Pace and Carly, the area of 20 meters around Itrisna had been razed to the ground. The destructive power was extremely terrifying.
"Little princess, are you okay?" Pess looked at Perlis and asked worriedly, "That thing is too..."
"I'm fine," Perlis said calmly, "but the situation is not optimistic."
"Why?" Pace was a little confused.
"Look at the sky."
Perlis pointed to the sky, her blood-red eyes were cold and sharp.
Looking in the direction of her finger, Pace saw the sudden visitor under the dark clouds.
It was a supply warehouse, falling like a meteor, leaving a trail of flame.
......
5) Top Predator (Part 8)
"There are still five minutes until the factor energy storm arrives."
"..."
The black clouds pressed towards the ground, and red arcs of electricity kept leaping in the rolling sea of clouds like fish fry in the boiling sea.
And in the sky, the supply box with a tail of flame was getting closer and closer, almost about to hit the ground.
"What is that...?"
Pace stared at the meteor in a daze, completely confused. Logically speaking, the energy storm was about to arrive, so how could there be extra supply boxes?
Could it be the supply box that Idrisna called for?
But how can she have this right? This is a competition, everyone is equal...
A chill surged from the bottom of Pace's heart, and in an instant, he realized a fact that was obvious but he had never truly recognized it.
Competition is never equal. From the very beginning, it was not set up for equality.
The contestants can be children from remote areas or noblemen from wealthy areas. The resources they control are completely unequal, which naturally leads to inequality in strength.
On the surface, this is a fair and just selection exam that determines the outcome based on performance, and it is the only way for many people to change their lives.
In reality, this is nothing more than the federal government's pure and profit-oriented method of allocating resources.
Most of those who had few resources became sacrifices of this game at the beginning.
For Itrisna, this kind of competition with only a few winners was never a life-and-death battle, but rather a formal show.
Even, it's some kind of fun——
"We have to go."
Carly's whisper came from beside Pace. Pace turned his head and found that the ice-blue eyes were shooting cold light at the supply box in the sky.
"If I'm not mistaken, the eyes in there are even more terrifying than the Colossus. If we continue to delay, we won't be able to survive when the factor energy storm comes."
Pess stared blankly at Itrisna in the distance. She was still waving the bone whip and spine in her hands frantically, turning everything within her sight into dust - it was some kind of almost pure madness. Just looking at that crazy dance, Pess felt a chill in his heart.
“White mouse! White mouse! Eaaaaaahahahaha…”
A terrifying roar came from Itrisna's mouth, her eyes fixed on Perlis, and the whip-blade storm was getting closer and closer.
Pace looked at Perlis beside him. Her eyes were still indifferent and as ruthless as usual.
But when he looked closely, he detected a hint of sadness in the corner of those bloodshot eyes.
"Let's go."
Under the gradually approaching black clouds, Perlis turned around and walked towards the strange fog forest.
With her body severely injured, Itrisna naturally couldn't catch up with Perlis. She just laughed wildly, her throat was a little hoarse:
"Don't go! [Pure White Fireworks], let me see your fangs!!"
"White rat! Come back soon!! White rat!!"
"I'll catch up with you, yeah hahahaha, I'll catch up with you..."
"I am the real apex predator, you are the prey, you are the prey, yaa ...
Amidst the paranoid laughter, Perlis and her group left the broken battlefield and headed towards the strange fog forest.
On this battlefield, countless ordinary contestants were killed by Itrisna like crushing stink bugs. Their corpses were laid out on the ground one after another. There were so many of them, yet they were only as light as a feather, depicting a tiny part of the whole picture of the earth.
Before leaving completely, Perlis looked back and glanced at Itrisna who was still laughing wildly there.
She closed her eyes, and the image of Ivar in the icy rain and the brutal "Scavenger" at the Wanren Mountain banquet reappeared in her mind.
Who made them like this? Perlis said nothing, but she knew it clearly.
The great Academi Federation.
......
"Jessica! Are you okay?"
"I...I didn't..."
Kemp knelt down beside Jessica and helped the girl up. She sat on the ground, hugging her shoulders like a frightened kitten.
"I...I'm fine," Jessica's voice was trembling, "I just...just got a little hurt..."
"Minor injury? Where are you injured?"
"No... Don't worry about it." Jessica forced herself to sound very calm, but Kemp still sensitively noticed the slight tremor in her voice, "Let's... Let's go..."
Kemp helped Jessica up, turned around, and shouted to Yu who was standing beside the gunsmith's body:
"Yu, let's go——"
"boom--"
Before Kemp could finish his words, a strange noise suddenly occurred, as loud as thunder.
Kemp turned his head suddenly and found that the source of the strange noise was actually the escape pod.
"Boom——"
A violent shock wave burst out from the tail of the supply tank, knocking Kemp and Jessica to the ground. When they came to their senses, one of the three supply tanks had already flown high into the sky with a blue factor energy flame, and plunged into the dark clouds under the protection of the factor shield.
How could this happen? Who is it?
Kemp looked not far away and found that there was only one body on the ground besides the gunsmith.
It was the man who was knocked unconscious by him. He was not dead. Kemp's heart sank, as if something had collapsed.
It's all my fault. If I could be cruel and give that guy another blow on the head, he wouldn't...
They won't...
It's my own fault, so I have to bear the consequences.
"Jessica, there are two escape pods left, you and Yu go first!"
Kemp grabbed the bewildered Jessica's hand - she was stunned for a moment as she looked at the escape pod that was flying into the clouds. Kemp pulled her up and then pulled her to the side of one of the two remaining escape pods.
As long as Jessica can leave, Aunt Enlia can be saved. Kemp thought so in his heart and slapped his hand on the escape pod that had been activated by the dog tag.
However, no matter how he shot, the escape pod did not respond at all.
Please, don't let anything go wrong! What the hell is going on?
As Kemp was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of electric sparks.
"Zizzizi..."
Following the sound, Kemp saw the platform of the escape pod. He was shocked to find that the small platform where the dog tags were placed was sparking, and the dog tags on it were gone.
Could it be...that guy?
Why? He had stolen the escape pod and could have escaped, so why did he want to cut off their chance of survival?
Why?
Must he be put to death? Why?
In a trance, Kemp heard the gunsmith's monologue:
"This is a competition! A fucking competition! People see people, people kill people, people rob people, we are all fucking people, your naivety makes me sick, do you know that?"
