Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Riot

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Riot

“Time is up. Sparrow has not voted and will be treated as having abstained. If abstaining occurs three times in a row, Sparrow will be expelled,”

Phoenix’s voice rang in the ear.

Sparrow realized that the countdown had passed.

But time didn’t give him a chance to regret, as with the opening of the glass, Sparrow fell and instantly vanished from everyone’s sight.

Turtle, “Raccoon Dog.”

Panda, “Horse Face.”

Leopard, “Horse Face.”

Hamster, “Leopard.”

Raccoon Dog, “Turtle.”

Once again, there was a tie, and according to the rules, Horse Face and Leopard were to give individual speeches. After their speeches, the remaining four would vote again for the two.

Horse Face, “Can use supernatural powers to kill.”

Leopard, “A shot through the back of the head can kill it completely.”

After the two had spoken, the voting began.

Turtle, “Horse Face.”

Panda, “Horse Face.”

Hamster, “Leopard.”

Raccoon Dog, “Leopard.”

The vote was tied once more, and Phoenix shook his head regrettably, “No winner has been decided this round. For the sake of fairness, both will have to be eliminated.”

Leopard instantly leaped from his seat, and the calmness in Horse Face’s eyes disappeared in an instant.

Damn it!

Shouldn’t there be another round?

Why the direct elimination!

As the glass opened in response, Horse Face immediately activated his Earth Superpower to envelope himself.

Leopard struggled fiercely, sprinting towards the meeting room door.

But before he could reach the door, he was riddled with bullets by the guns mounted in the corners.

Out of ten people, only four remained after just five minutes.

But, the game was not over yet!

Phoenix’s voice arose like a knell, “Currently, there are two civilians, one undercover, and one blank slate left on the field. The fourth round begins…”

So, as long as any one person is eliminated, the game can end!

This round, a fierce look appeared in the eyes of the four.

Turtle, “The answer is what’s fighting with Horse Face in the Corpse Fighting Arena.”

Panda, “Turtle is right.”

Hamster, “Moves by jumping.”

Raccoon Dog, “Afraid of light.”

The answers from all four were very targeted, showing that each was thinking about a last stand.

After the speeches ended, the voting began.

Turtle, “Hamster.”

Panda, “Hamster.”

Without waiting for Hamster to vote, Turtle’s eyes flashed with ferocity, “As long as we kill Raccoon Dog and stop him from voting, we win!”

It was too late by the time it was quick.

Turtle controlled metal to pierce Raccoon Dog’s neck instantly, and right after, guns mounted on the wall aimed at him as well.

“Bang bang bang…”

Gunshots rang out, and Turtle also fell into a pool of blood.

The remaining Hamster and Panda were stunned by the sudden turn of events, staring dumbfounded at the two fallen bodies, not daring to make a move.

Finally, a hint of excitement appeared in Phoenix’s voice, “Voting has ended, and the one with the most votes is Hamster. Hamster will be eliminated.”

Accompanied by the sound of Hamster’s fall, Phoenix announced the final result, “This round’s civilian word: zombie, undercover word: zombie.

One civilian remains on the field, and the civilians win this game. Congratulations to the guest, the guest may proceed to the -3 level audience seats, awaiting the subsequent auction.”

Ten entered, one came out, and the blood and corpses scattered everywhere delivered a great shock to Panda.

Even if they walked out of this door alive, from that moment on, Panda’s heart would never be whole again.

Sure enough, Panda, upon exiting the conference room, let out a hysterical laugh that was a mixture of crying and laughing.

The laugh, transmitted through the giant screen, echoed throughout the entire underground gambling den.

The audience on the third underground level became even more excited, while the atmosphere in the remaining two conference rooms on the second underground level sank even lower.

Ji Wanwan lifted her eyelids to survey everyone’s expressions around the circle.

Some looked down, some looked around, some were fearful, some were anxious, some were calm, some were uneasy, some were fearless…

If it weren’t for the concern about the four hanging guns above their heads, probably everyone present would have already started to rebel.

Down in the fighting pit, Horse Face and Hamster were still furiously battling the zombies.

But with every zombie they killed, another one would be let inside the iron fence. They wanted to escape, yet it seemed like an invisible net trapped them within, forcing them to fight like cornered beasts until they were completely exhausted.

It seemed the only end waiting for them was death.

But the story of the night was far from over.

The giant screen flickered and switched back to the white-haired man: “Wow, what a thrilling game.”

He leaned back lazily, his well-defined hands stacked on his belly, eyes narrow and smirking: “Now, let’s select the next item for sale.”

“Boom Boom—”

The spotlights shone once again.

The remaining two conference rooms became like lambs awaiting slaughter, waiting for the butcher’s choice.

“2! 3! 2! 3!…”

Layer upon layer of shouts came from the third underground level.

Three minutes later, the voting was over. With a “boom,” the light in room number 2 went out.

Seeing the lit light of conference room number 3 to the right, everyone’s heart simultaneously relaxed.

At least…

The next one to die wouldn’t be themselves.

The adjacent conference room number 3 wasn’t so fortunate.

The tragedy in conference room number 1 was still vivid in everyone’s minds; no one wished to sit idly and await death.

It was unclear who shouted: “Let’s all rush them together! There are so many of us, and only four guns on the wall. Only by rushing together do we stand a chance to survive!”

In desperation, humans often muster courage they never thought they had.

Everyone charged at once.

The hanging guns on the wall began to sweep fire.

But no matter how they used their superpowers, the heavy conference room door wouldn’t budge, as if some technique had rendered it completely immovable.

The riot lasted less than a minute before the first person was shot dead.

Seeing a live person topple before their eyes, everyone screamed in either fright or breakdown.

One person wearing a pink pig mask completely collapsed, punching through a glass window and jumping down from the conference room.

“Thud!”

The dull sound of hitting the ground struck everyone’s hearts.

Before they could grieve for him, the zombies that were fighting Horse Face and Hamster turned and pounced on Pink Pig.

Growls accompanied by splattered blood and flesh turned the scene into a bloody spectacle.

Ji Wanwan felt her stomach churn, turning her gaze away, unable to bear watching.

Hearing the excited screams coming from level minus three, she could only feel both ridicule and sorrow.

In the apocalypse, humans were more terrifying than zombies.

When the riot in conference room number 3 had finally settled down, out of the ten people, only six remained, each of them injured to varying degrees.

The white-haired man watched the farce unfold with a teasing gaze from start to finish, speaking only after it had ended: “Now, let’s continue the auction.”

The door that nobody could open just moments ago now opened as if it was the most natural thing, as soon as his words ended.

The previous Phoenix waiter stepped in.

In his hand, once again, was the tray that everyone was familiar with, but this time, only two cards remained on it.

Phoenix stood still, his gaze sweeping over the six bedraggled people before him, and uttered the familiar phrase: “Honored guests, hello!

Please elect one individual to come forward for the draw. After drawing, you must complete the game specified on your card according to the rules. The winning side may leave the cage, while the losing side will enter the Corpse Fighting Arena to battle the zombies.

You have one minute to choose. If you don’t complete the draw within one minute, everyone will enter the Corpse Fighting Arena.

Now, please start your selection!”
