Survival Arena

Chapter 258 Black Cat's Reminder

"What the hell? What kind of skill is this?"

Chu Ge dodged a few feathers and looked at the rooster perched on the tree trunk with astonishment.

How had it done that?

The rooster didn't continue to attack but sized up Chu Ge, admiringly said, "Kid, quick reactions, eh? How about becoming my mount, I'll take you flying."

Mount?

Anger surged in Chu Ge's heart, his gaze turning icy in an instant.

"Follow the Chicken Lord, you won't be treated badly!" The rooster said, full of pride.

It was the first time it had seen such a majestic lion.

If it could tame it as a mount, it would definitely be impressive.

The very thought excited it.

Chu Ge immediately charged at it.

"Aiyo, you're not convinced!"

The rooster leapt up, switching to stand on its other leg in a mighty pose, and flapped its wings, feathers shooting towards Chu Ge.

This time, Chu Ge simply ducked his head and took the hits.

His muscles tensed, instantly hardening like iron.

Ding! Ding! Ding...

The feathers were deflected, and Chu Ge reached the base of the tree, then leaped powerfully upwards.

The rooster's eyes widened in fear, and it reflexively took flight.

Unfortunately, Chu Ge's reflexes were faster.

Just as it took off, Chu Ge caught up, mouth open wide, and bit down on its neck.

Bang!

Chu Ge crashed into the tree trunk, then rolled onto the grass.

He kept a death grip on the rooster's neck with his mouth, breaking it as they both fell.

"I, the Chicken Lord… have never been eaten in my life..."

The rooster said with difficulty, just about to fight back, but Chu Ge bit down hard.

Crack!

The rooster's neck was snapped.

"You have successfully hunted down an enemy, gaining 200 Survival Points."

"As this Survivor had already killed two Survivors, you've earned an additional 200 Survival Points."

Four hundred points credited to his account!

Chu Ge felt pleased, loosened his jaw, and spat out the feathers in his mouth.

Taking out two enemies in a row, Suicide solidly maintained second place on the leaderboard.

The one in first place, Dark Soul, had already killed 25 people.

Very strong.

It seemed night was well-suited for their hunting.

Regardless, both Suicide and Dark Soul had made a name for themselves.

Even though it was only the first day, they had definitely left a deep impression on all the Survivors in Tokyo.

"The Survival Team 'Mad Gunner' has wiped out the Survival Team 'Dudu Lulu'!"

Mad Gunner.

The Survival Team of the White Ape King, this cheater seemed to be having a great time.

Chu Ge thought silently, then left the park.

...

The first night passed.

There were already 97 Survival Teams on the team kill rankings.

There must be teams that hadn't made it onto the rankings because they hadn't killed anyone.

There were quite a number of Survivors in Tokyo.

But for Chu Ge, they were hard to find.

He felt like he was playing hide and seek.

Early the next day, Tokyo was buzzing with news.

In many places, the bodies of animals were found, not just those of common animals but also beasts, as if they had all escaped from a zoo.

These animal bodies caused quite a stir on the internet of The Island Nation.

"Is there a ghoul on the loose in Tokyo?"

"So boring, must be staged."

"Nonsense, I'm in Tokyo, why haven't I seen any of these beasts?"

"Nowadays, the news media just know how to exaggerate headlines to attract eyeballs,"

"Recently, there have been bizarre animal news from all over the world, with the Huashan Beast King incident in the East being the most famous. What does this portend?"

Various comments were proliferating online.

Chu Ge was unaware of the online commotion, but early in the morning, due to the increased number of people on the streets, he was woken up by the noise.

At that moment, he was hiding downstairs in a residential building, resting behind the staircase.

Not far outside was a commercial street, where he heard many footsteps, and even people running as if something significant had happened.

He wanted to go out and see, but there were too many people outside.

Not until ten in the morning did the bustling noises outside subside.

By that time, most people had already gone to school or work.

The Island Nation was a country with extremely high work efficiency, leading the world in work hours.

Chu Ge cautiously made his way to the entrance of the stairwell.

Looking outside, he saw only an old lady sweeping the slanted street.

Taking advantage of the moment she turned around, Chu Ge quickly slipped away.

If not for his speed, he would have been discovered long ago.

Each time he ran through the streets, he burst forth at full speed.

After a whole day, he felt much more agile.

"No, I can't stay in the bustling area forever. Survivors should be congregating on the edge of Tokyo, where there are fewer people."

Chu Ge thought to himself as he started running in the opposite direction of the busy area.

Tokyo had too many surveillance cameras, and even though he was very cautious, he couldn't be completely sure he had not been exposed.

But on second thought, there must be clumsy Survivors who had already been discovered.

One more wouldn't matter.

Thinking this, he became even bolder.

Time advanced to noon.

He had already left the city center, reaching a sparsely populated residential area that resembled a town left in the care of the elderly during working hours, with not many people coming and going.

Chu Ge strolled leisurely, enjoying the cool breeze of spring and summer.

It was very comfortable.

In anime from the Island Nation, there were often such scenes.

The male and female protagonists would brush past each other on the stone steps, or be separated on opposite sides of a railway track.

Tragically beautiful and touching.

But the streets in reality didn't seem too different from some of the old streets in Huaxia.

At least that's how Chu Ge saw them.

Meow—

A cat's cry came, startling Chu Ge to turn his head and look.

He saw a black cat on the roof ridge of the adjacent building watching him.

Chu Ge exhaled a sigh of relief and murmured, "I thought it was that Black Cat."

This was just an ordinary house cat and posed no danger.

Chu Ge continued forward.

Just then!

The black cat suddenly spoke in human tongue, "Kid, don't go any further, there are Evil Spirits ahead."

Chu Ge stopped and looked at it in surprise, asking, "Are you a Survivor? Are Survivors afraid of Evil Spirits?"

The black cat gazed down at him coldly and replied, "Our very existence can't be explained by science, can it?"

Hearing this, Chu Ge fell silent.

That said, could those horror movies from the Island Nation actually be true?

Thinking of certain cursed films and certain chaste ghosts, he suddenly shivered.

He had once watched a documentary-style horror movie, where a journalist investigates paranormal activities, actually encounters Evil Spirits, and the ending shows a night in a park's forest, where a little girl he had interviewed earlier was covered in crawling babies, with skeletons littering the ground beneath her feet.

That had truly frightened Chu Ge.

It left a deep impression.

The immersion was too strong, too real.

"I've been here all night and saw things I shouldn't have. You'd better not go in there. I'm warning you not because I'm kind-hearted, but because I hope all Survivors die at the hands of other Survivors," the black cat said earnestly.

That sinister?

Chu Ge was caught in hesitation.

What if what this creature said was true?

He hummed, "If you've seen it and still stand guard here to warn other Survivors, are you an NPC from Newbie Village? Trying to scare me? I grew up being scared!"

After speaking, he turned and walked away, planning to leave the area.
