Forbidden Zone outside, Organizing Committee square.
The picture on the giant light screen was shaking violently.
The signal in the Northern Territory area is still intermittent, but the picture in other areas is very clear.
Almost all the teams were running for their lives.
The screen was full of scenes of Berserk Exotic Beast chasing people, screams came out through the audio channel of the light curtain, and the atmosphere in the audience changed from lively to tense.
Referee Panel's twelve referees have already stood up.
Chief Referee is an old man in his sixties, his surname is Chen, and he is from the military. He played Beast Tide in Nanjiang before.
He stared at the spread of Core Zone on the light screen and tapped his fingers three times on the table.
"It is recommended to stop the game immediately and initiate global teleportation evacuation."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man stood up from the fourth seat on the right.
The Bai Family representative of Referee Panel is Bai Wangshu. He is in his forties, has a narrow face and thin lips, and wears a dark gray uniform. He looks inconspicuous, but his father is the biological brother of Bai Yong.
Bai Wangshu said, "Before we stop, I have a question."
He turned to face the entire Referee Stand, his voice was not loud, but the Amplification Array in the square made every word clear.
"Core Zone Beast Tide riot, what is the cause?"
Chief Referee frowned.
"The reason is yet to be investigated, and the top priority is to evacuate the people."
Bai Wangshu ignored him and continued.
"According to the signal record, Lin Feng of the Northern Territory team entered Core Zone without permission an hour ago. Shortly after entering, Core Zone's blood concentration began to rise abnormally, and then Beast Tide broke out."
He paused.
"I propose that before the investigation is clear, the Northern Territory Military Region team shall be disqualified from participating and all its points shall be frozen."
There was a buzz in the square.
The auditorium exploded.
"Disqualification? Cancel the 2.4 million points just because you said it was cancelled?"
"Bai Family people are crazy?"
"Isn't this just public revenge?"
Several people on Referee Stand don't look very good.
Chief Referee was about to open his mouth to reject it when a voice came from VIP Stand.
"Judge White."
Duan Hongyuan Put down the tea cup.
The bottom of the cup hit the armrest, and the sound was not loud, but the square fell silent for an instant.
Duan Hongyuan didn't stand up, just sat there.
"You said the Core Zone mutation was caused by Lin Feng. Where is the evidence?"
Bai Wangshu turned around.
"The signal record shows..."
"I'm asking for evidence."
Duan Hongyuan interrupted him.
"The signal record can only prove that he entered the Exotic Beast riot of Core Zone. Core Zone Hundred Thousand Mountains. There have been seven records in history. The most recent one was twelve years ago. No one entered that time and it still exploded. Why do you think it was Lin Feng who did it?"
Bai Wangshu pursed his lips.
"General Duan, I am just proposing according to the procedure."
"Procedure?"
Duan Hongyuan picked up the tea cup and took another sip.
"Xiu Ze died and you Bai Family didn't follow the program. East Sea Song Jiao died and you didn't follow the procedure. Why did you suddenly remember the program when you arrived at Northern Territory?"
The whole audience choked.
Bai Wangshu's face started to turn red from the base of her ears.
Duan Hongyuan didn't look at him again.
Chief Referee coughed.
"Referee Bai's proposal does not comply with Rule 47 and is rejected. Now we will arrange emergency evacuation and prepare each group."
Bai Wangshu stood there, clenched his fists for two seconds, and sat back down.
Within Forbidden Zone.
Zhou Yuan and four others have retreated to a high slope outside Blood Mist Zone.
When Qin Lie took four Western Territory wounded people out of the blood mist, they were covered in blood and limping, taking three steps and resting one step.
Zhou Yuan quickly went up to help him.
"Western Territory's brother? Why did you come out of it?"
Qin Lie was helped to sit down and took a long time to catch his breath.
"We were tied to the altar and had our blood drawn. We almost died inside. Your people rescued us."
Zhou Yuan was stunned.
"Second Lieutenant Lin?"
"Yeah. Riding that dragon, he came up and demolished the altar in ten seconds."
Qin Lie's tone was very calm, but Zhou Yuan could hear the energy in it. It was not an exaggeration, it was a kind of calmness after being convinced.
Zhou Yuan glanced in the direction of the blood mist.
The red wall-like mist was still billowing, and the noise coming from inside was getting louder and louder.
"Is he still in there?"
Qin Lie nodded.
"It's not that I didn't come out. It's that I didn't want to come out."
Zhou Yuan's face turned green.
"Beast Tide, is he rushing in?"
Qin Lie leaned against the stone and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I yelled at him to run away. It was no use."
Zhou Yuan squatted down and held his head in his hands.
The team members next to me came over.
"Captain..."
"Stop talking. Let me slow down."
On the high slope, several people watched helplessly as a dark purple light lit up deep in the blood mist.
Dragon Breath.
Then there is the second and third way.
Every time Dragon Breath lights up, the ground shakes. The points on System Panel start to beat.
Zhou Yuan lowered his head and glanced at Points Tablet.
2400000.
The numbers didn't move.
It was stuck for two seconds.
Then jumped.
2400000→2780000
Jump again.
2780000→3150000
Zhou Yuan's hands began to shake.
3150000→3600000
Qin Lie also looked down at his own Points Tablet.
His card shows the national rankings. The number Northern Territory Military Region ranks first among all teams, and the gap is widening at an unreasonable speed.
The second place is Nanjiang, 87,000.
The difference is more than forty times.
Qin Lie slowly put Points Tablet back into his pocket without saying a word.
Outside Forbidden Zone.
Leaderboard on the light curtain is refreshed again.
3600000→4020000.
The sound in the square suddenly disappeared.
Everyone stared at the number, their mouths open but silent.
4020000→4500000.
Chief Referee dropped the pen in his hand.
On VIP Stand, Song Zhenkun has stood up.
He didn't want to leave, but couldn't sit still, and his legs were rubbing back and forth between the chair and the table.
"Impossible."
He was still repeating these three words in his mouth, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
The Northern Territory area picture on the light curtain finally recovered a clear signal for a few seconds.
Everyone saw it.
In the center of the rolling blood mist, a dark purple dragon was rampaging among the beasts.
Dragon Breath sprayed out, and pieces of Exotic Beast fell down.
The figure on the dragon's back swung the spear with a red-gold arc, and something broke with every blow.
Further away, silver light spots shuttled through the blood mist.
All teams are running away.
He is the only one who is killing inside.
