The Wild Beast Arena

The alarm sounded within the expected timeframe.

In Laboratory No. 6, the researchers saw in all the live videos that every monitored fruit tree was dropping its fruit frantically, and what Dog 1 had experienced earlier was constantly repeating beside each tree trunk...

As for Dog 1... Researcher Liu had long lost track of it. Dog 1 had suddenly vanished from the laboratory's surveillance range. Perhaps this was inevitable; after all, once Dog 1 confirmed it had killed all the animals attacking it, it ran off to eat all the fallen fruit on the ground. With all the fruit eaten, there was no way Dog 1 would continue guarding that tree!

The researchers at Laboratory No. 6 looked at the chaotic scenes in each video, unsure of what to do, and could only watch silently... The chaotic scenes in the videos seemed completely unrelated to this quiet, brightly lit laboratory, yet the roars of the animals from the videos echoed throughout the lab, refusing to subside.

Researcher Chen, watching the moment the fruit fell en masse, sounded the alarm of N City.

After Researcher Chen and Researcher Liu submitted the experimental report on the timing of the animal riot outbreak to Director Zhang. Director Zhang reviewed it, studying it repeatedly, and finally decided to grant the opportunity to sound the alarm to Researcher Chen, allowing him to seize the moment and accurately sound the city-wide alarm on time.

Researcher Chen did not disappoint. He kept a close eye on the live videos of the entire laboratory. The moment he saw the fruit begin to fall on a large scale, after confirming with Researcher Liu beside him, he sounded the alarm. Subsequent events proved that Researcher Chen had indeed calculated the timing perfectly!

Cao Shudong looked at the wild beast livestream before her, at a loss for words. Language could no longer describe what she was seeing. She didn't even know which god-level figure was filming this livestream; perhaps they had modified the camera!

Looking at this street that seemed to be illuminated by moonlight, Cao Shudong felt a pang of nostalgia! She missed the times when there was sunlight, moonlight, and stars—they were so beautiful, unlike now, where everything was pitch black! Even if she herself wasn't black, she was surrounded by darkness...

But nostalgia could not stop reality.

The reality was that packs of wild beasts were slaughtering each other frantically on the streets, with blood and corpses everywhere. This made Cao Shudong feel that although humans still lived in cities and cities were built by humans, the current masters of the cities were no longer human... As for the current masters of the cities, she was looking at them right now!

Nowadays, humans could only avoid the beasts' brunt and huddle inside their rooms, as this was the only way to survive. In fact, in the final analysis, compared to wild beasts, humans were simply too weak. Relying solely on physical strength, they stood no chance against these beasts that survived in the wild year-round.

These beasts endured nature's selection, and within their own packs, they underwent another round of selection. This animal riot was likely yet another round. Thus, one could only imagine how powerful the surviving beasts were to have made it through each round of selection!

Cao Shudong watched these rampaging beasts, who constantly destroyed street decorations during their slaughter. She saw that during their struggles and biting, some animals would always be pushed aside, affecting the adjacent streets. Even some residential walls were stained with fresh blood left by those battered animals. Some animals even crashed through the exterior wall decorations of buildings, exposing the reinforced concrete, but fortunately, these structures remained sturdy.

As for glass buildings, they were in a miserable state! Basically, any glass building had its ground-floor glass shattered to pieces by the beasts absorbed in their slaughter. And these shattered glass buildings directly became arenas for the wild beasts, whose battle had reached a point of fighting to the death.

It had reached a level of madness. A kind of random, indiscriminate slaughter!

Cao Shudong also saw some beasts fighting inside buildings, taking their battle higher and higher until they reached the top floor, accidentally falling from the heights in a dramatic spectacle. She also saw that while two beasts were fighting, a third would suddenly appear to reap the spoils, directly capturing both combatants! There were even one-on-two fights, one-on-many, and pack-against-pack clashes, resulting in a chaotic scene of carnage.

In any case, Cao Shudong had finally witnessed what an animal riot truly looked like today!

Furthermore, through the streamer's camera, Cao Shudong saw that these scenes were not only happening in the cities but also in the wilderness. It seemed completely ubiquitous; the shadows of wild beasts were everywhere... Moreover, as the scenes shifted, the contrast between the countryside and the city was stark.

While only the shadows of slaughtering beasts could be seen in the city, humans could actually be spotted in the countryside! They were the figures of people trying to flee from heavily damaged houses, but unfortunately, they didn't last long...

Surrounded by slaughtering beasts, each with a massive body, Cao Shudong wouldn't have been able to see this scene if not for the streamer's excellent camera equipment and perfect timing. This scene was brutal, but it seemed to be the reality!

The actual environment of survival was just that cruel. The figure in the video didn't even survive for a minute before being kicked away by a wild beast, falling paralyzed on the spot, motionless. Cao Shudong didn't know who this was or where they lived!

Watching such a bloody scene, such a one-sided oppression, Cao Shudong only thought about how she would escape in such a situation, seemingly having lost her empathy... Even though she knew she wouldn't end up like that! After all, she still had her secret weapon! Still, this didn't stop her from making assumptions upon seeing such a scene.

She wanted to live! To survive well! This was the human instinct for survival. Only by surviving would she have the hope of seeing the end of this apocalypse!

As the scene shifted again, the motionless figure grew smaller and smaller, and the destroyed buildings also shrank in the distance. The drone camera was flying higher! Cao Shudong saw even more destroyed houses and buildings, along with beasts continuously tearing at each other, stepping on the ruins...

Fresh blood, severed limbs, ruins, and roars made up the animal riot. The more she watched these images, the more Cao Shudong felt a sense of crisis. She didn't know if these situations would also happen in N City.

So, she scrolled through the chat screen and asked the streamer which city this was. While watching these videos, Cao Shudong had also observed carefully. The text and street environment looked like a city in this country, but she didn't know the exact location! Because Cao Shudong was similarly unfamiliar with the streets of N City!

She feared the streamer's answer, yet she desperately wanted to confirm it.
