The staff nearby turned around when they heard the cries.
They began leading the tourists out from behind the artificial rock formation, slowly approaching the four white lions in the center.
Su Chen was near the very back of the group.
He looked toward the front.
Leading the way were the Chosen Ones from India and the other countries, all sporting rabbit ears.
They gradually approached the white lions.
India's Sang Luoyi gazed at the lions before him with a look of utter fascination, even reaching out to touch one.
Decades ago, the lion had been India's national animal.
Naturally, Sang Luoyi adored them.
With the staff accompanying them and gesturing for them to proceed, he felt no fear at all.
His hand drew closer and closer to the white lion.
The white lion sensed his affection, too.
So it responded enthusiastically.
The white lion at the front bit Sang Luoyi's head clean off.
Crimson blood splattered across the ground, even spraying onto a staff member's face.
[India's Chosen One, Sang Luoyi, has died. Following a comprehensive assessment, India loses 15 points of national fortune. Current remaining points: 65.] [Flooding descends upon all of India for 15 days.]
At the death announcement, the remaining three white lions seemed to hear a bugle calling them to charge. They immediately attacked the rabbit-eared people at the front.
Once again, blood sprayed through the air.
Amid the agonized screams, the Chosen Ones were scared out of their minds.
Once they regained their senses, they frantically fled toward the exit.
Lamb from Ugly Country ran especially fast.
He grabbed the rabbit-eared Chosen One from Kangaroo Country beside him and hurled him at the white lion pursuing him relentlessly.
Then he kicked the British Empire's Chosen One to the ground.
[Kangaroo Country's Chosen One has died. Following a comprehensive assessment, Kangaroo Country loses 15 points of national fortune. Current remaining points: 60.] [Plague descends upon all of Kangaroo Country for 15 days.] [The British Empire's Chosen One has died. Following a comprehensive assessment, the British Empire loses 15 points of national fortune. Current remaining points: 70.] [Eternal night descends upon the entire British Empire for 15 days.]
The death announcements kept sounding.
With those people serving as sacrificial pawns to buy him time.
Lamb gradually shook off the white lions pursuing him.
"Idiots! They're all idiots! Everything the think tank suggested was wrong! The black text must be wrong! This Lion Enclosure is too dangerous!"
Lamb cursed loudly as he ran!
Meanwhile, the many countries whose Chosen Ones Lamb had betrayed were furious, but dared not speak out.
After all, Ugly Country was still their overlord.
They did not dare criticize or condemn it.
So their furious citizens turned to hurling abuse at their own countries' think tanks and Dragon Country.
"My God, this is unbelievably stupid! The black text was clearly wrong, yet our country told our Chosen One to obey it!"
"The advisers who came up with that suggestion bear full responsibility! They must pay with their lives!"
"And Dragon Country, too! All this information came from Dragon Country. Those treacherous Easterners must be sanctioned!"
"We call for a sixteen-nation alliance to crush Dragon Country in the East and make them die alongside our fallen civilians!"
With their Chosen Ones dead, their countries' livestreams gradually shut down as the countdowns ended.
So those furious people flooded into Dragon Country's livestream.
"You despicable people from Dragon Country! This was all your conspiracy! You gave us false information!"
"Bullshit! You were the ones copying us! Besides, why is our Su Chen fine? You brought this on yourselves."
"Don't get cocky, you Dragon Country scum. Your Chosen One will die soon, too. You only have 70 points of national fortune left, right? Lose another 15 and your disasters will double!"
"Go back to your own countries' livestreams. Don't spew your shit here. Oh, sorry, I forgot your contestants died. You don't have livestreams anymore."
Everyone descended into a shouting match.
Meanwhile, amid the chaos in the Lion Enclosure, only Su Chen remained calmly where he stood.
He watched it all with a cold gaze.
As far as he could tell, the people killed by the white lions were beyond saving.
After all, watching calmly revealed that the four white lions had been prioritizing people with rabbit ears on their heads.
Suddenly, a white lion raced past Su Chen, chasing Lamb from Ugly Country.
It did not even glance at him.
Su Chen finally relaxed completely, knowing he had guessed correctly.
His level of contamination definitely was not fatal.
But he would still have to wait for the white lions to confirm exactly how severe his contamination was.
He had to wait anyway.
So he decided to watch Lamb from Ugly Country for some entertainment.
Lamb dragged one person after another into his path as sacrificial pawns, accompanied by a string of death announcements.
He finally reached the Lion Enclosure's gate.
"Hahaha! I made it out! I really am the hero of Ugly Country!"
He cheered loudly as he ran toward the gate.
But suddenly, something changed. The Lion Enclosure's heavy metal gate began to close.
Just as Lamb was about to escape with his life.
The gate slammed tightly shut right in front of his nose.
The instant it closed, he caught sight of the culprit.
It was Yamashita Kenichiro from Sakura Country.
The murderous look in his eyes plunged Lamb into despair.
