Survival Arena

After having their fill, Chu Ge and the Lynx came to the faucet outside the cafeteria and drank deeply.

Chu Ge felt his physical strength fully restored, and the pain in his body was gone.

"Let's hide nearby, away from the Botanic Garden, and also, we need to be careful of surveillance,"

the Lynx whispered as she surveyed their surroundings.

It was only around seven or eight in the evening, yet this part of the campus was strangely devoid of people.

Very strange.

She sniffed the air. The majority of people had moved toward the Botanic Garden.

It seemed that Black Blind had successfully drawn the attention of the humans.

Chu Ge nodded and said, "Let's wait in the small garden behind the dorm building."

There was a small garden behind the neighboring dorm with just two paths and three benches, clearly a favorite spot for couples.

The Lynx had no objections, and the two of them quickly made their way into the garden.

They hid in the bushes close to the wall, lying in wait silently with a bench in front of them to serve as cover.

"What do you think Black Blind really wants to do?" Chu Ge whispered.

Waiting was torturous.

He had initially planned to hunt under the cover of darkness, but now with Black Blind's interference, they had to lay low and wait until late at night before making a move.

"Not sure, maybe he has psychological issues," the Lynx lazily replied.

"In the Survival Arena, you find all sorts of people. After gaining survival skills, many of them become arrogant, unleashing their inner darkness. Him deliberately attracting humans is certainly not a good sign."

From the perspective of a normal Survivor, the goal would certainly be to avoid being discovered by humans.

Black Blind almost dominated this mad slaughter, yet he was breaking the rule, either thoughtlessly or with a deliberate plan.

If he were incompetent, he wouldn't have survived until now.

"Do you know what the craziest thing I've seen a Survivor do?" the Lynx glanced at Chu Ge and asked quietly.

Even in the dark of night, her eyes shone brightly, like twin moons in Chu Ge's view.

Chu Ge asked instinctively, "What did he do?"

The Lynx spoke somberly, "That guy happened to land in his own city. He abandoned his mission and went straight for revenge against his enemies in reality. He didn't just seek revenge, he also involved the innocent, killing seven people in one night. But he was a Survivor, and even if surveillance caught him, it only served to clear his name.

Later, during a mission, he boasted to me about it, not feeling any remorse."

Chu Ge felt no surprise; he had already anticipated such things.

The Survival Arena imposed few restrictions on Survivors, except they couldn't disclose its existence.

In other words, Survivors could do as they pleased in reality.

To Chu Ge, the Lynx's tale, though crazy, was not beyond imagination.

"Where there is evil, there is justice. It's true everywhere, even in the Survival Arena. There are some just and kind people who form Survival Teams to track down those Survivors who commit evils in reality, not only targeting them in the Survival Competition but also pursuing them in reality," the Lynx said, smiling subtly as she touched upon the subject.

A Survival Team executing justice?

Chu Ge asked with profound meaning, "So who decides if they've killed the right person? What if they kill the wrong one?"

The Lynx just laughed without responding, a clear indication of her attitude.

She changed the subject, "From what I understand of Black Blind, he's incredibly crazy, overly confident. He probably finds it boring to deal with us and wants to spice things up, so he's drawing the attention of humans. He wants to hunt and kill us in front of them, showing off his power."

"Different species hold different statuses in human civilization. If a dog kills a person, it's put down on the spot. If a bear kills someone, its rarity is considered. Afterwards, most people just say that the wild nature of animals is uncontrollable, that hunting is their instinct, and then the matter is often dropped."

"Therefore, humans won't pose a direct threat to Black Blind's life."

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, not having anticipated Black Blind to be so crazed.

If what the Lynx said was true, then Black Blind's actions were indeed understandable.

He couldn't help but look toward the distant dormitory, his eyes flickering with worry.

The Lynx chuckled, "Are you scared?"

Chu Ge shook his head. He was about to speak when suddenly the sound of footsteps startled them, and both hurriedly shut up and looked down.

A young couple, hugging and cuddling, walked over and then sat down on the bench in front of Chu Ge and his companion.

"The school is rumored to have wild dogs; you still dare to bring me here?"

"Aren't the wild dogs in the Botanic Garden? Now that there's no one around, don't you want to get close to me?"

"Stop it!"

"Hehe, baby, I just like you so much, wishing I could always see you. What should I do, you're too charming!"

"Ugh, isn't that cheesy?"

Listening to the couple's chatter gave Chu Ge goosebumps all over.

Afterward, the couple began to get overly affectionate.

Chu Ge and the lynx didn't dare to move, fearing they would disturb them.

A good while passed, over an hour.

Only when a large number of students returned to their dormitories did the couple straighten their clothes and get up to leave.

Chu Ge let out a breath; he almost suffocated, not being able to move or even breathe was really torturous.

The lynx clicked her tongue in wonder and said, "See, didn't I tell you? No matter how dangerous it is, some youngsters can't control their hormones."

Chu Ge laughed and said, "Looks like you do this quite often too."

The lynx raised the corner of her mouth and replied, "It's not me, it's my roommate. She often does this and then boasts to us about her boyfriends."

Roommate?

Could it be that this lady is still a university student?

Chu Ge pondered in his mind.

They continued to wait.

The time was probably around eleven at night.

Lights were on at every level of the surrounding dormitories, and the clamor of the students echoed under the night sky.

No one was walking the paths of the campus anymore.

"Let's go."

Chu Ge stood up and jogged off.

The lynx followed closely behind.

At the same time.

At a small plaza in front of a teaching building at Xuanjiang University.

A middle-aged man in a suit scanned the nearly a hundred security guards standing before him and said, "Tonight, we must find where those wild animals are hiding. Firefighters will soon arrive. Head out in teams, remember, do not act alone. Apart from wild dogs, there are black bears and even pythons spotted by students. Be careful, understood?"

"Understood!"

The security guards responded in unison, not with panic but with excitement.

They had never encountered a bear before, so their excitement outweighed their nervousness, especially since they were in such a large group.

"Move out!"

The middle-aged man gestured, and the guards immediately dispersed.

Afterward, the middle-aged man lit a cigarette, gazing at the little hill in the distant Botanic Garden. He blew a smoke ring and muttered to himself, "Wonder which zoo let them out, so irresponsible."

He didn't notice that just around the corner of the first floor of the teaching building behind him, something pitch-black was staring at him.

It was the Black Blind.

The teaching building at night already had a somewhat eerie vibe, which made the black bear appear incredibly terrifying—as if it were a demon from the abyss.

The look in the bear's eyes as it watched the middle-aged man was filled with madness and excitement, as if it were eyeing its prey.
