Chapter 2819: Battle for Survival

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While talking, the puppet king displayed more structural designs and surveillance pictures of the starships among the skyscrapers.

Through the surveillance cameras, he could see that the bridge, the arsenal, and even the warehouse of crystals and the engine compartment were partly under his control. The connection between the staff and the crystal processor was cut off. The request to retrieve crystal suits and weapons was

rejected. Most of the soldiers of the Star Glory Federation were separated and locked in small cabins.

With his help, it did not seem impossible to break into the cockpit from Bright City and take over the entire starship.

“Maybe it is unnecessary and cruel, but this is how life is. I know that most of you still need time to get used to it, but as I said before, we don’t have time. Whoever awakens the principle of survival first is qualified to live on!

‘The puppet king continued speaking casually. “Don’t try to make up the numbers by sneaking behind the crowd and taking advantage of the situation. Remember, I control all the monitoring crystal cameras on Eternal Brightness. I can see your every move. I will distribute the remaining clean water, food,

fuel, and even the precious seats of the escape capsules according to your performance in the ‘Battle of Survival’.

“According to my analysis, only one tenth of the people can survive the ‘battle of survival and grasp the real meaning of ‘human beings’. Therefore, you must make sure that you are braver than the nine people around you.

“Come on, compatriots and friends. Awaken your true strength and take action!

“What’s wrong? Are you still dumbfounded and at a loss? Well, it’s not your fault. After all, you’ve been dwelling in the nightmare for too long. Let me give you a little push!”

While the puppet king was talking, the light beams on the walls of the cabin blinked again, revealing a series of bloody figures that were counting down rapidly. There were twelve hours left.

“Do you see the countdown?”

The puppet king smiled. “There are twelve hours to go. Ah. Eleven hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-two seconds. Before the time reaches zero, if you cannot seize the bridge, I will activate the self-detonation system of Eternal Brightness and annihilate the walking dead who are not worthy to be called

‘human beings’ in the sea of stars together with your humiliated lives.

“The ‘human-shaped swine’ who does not know how to resist should not continue to sully the great name of ‘human beings’.

“Believe me, I just found another starship of the Sanctuary a few days ago and tried to hack and activate the self-detonation system. The damage is good enough.

“Therefore, if you continue to be dumbfounded, you will die anyway. Why don’t you die like a real warrior with supernova-like courage at the last moment of your life?

“Are you still… unable to move? Your heart is beating so fast that you can barely walk? Alright. Alright. I know that your bodies are too weak and that you are no match for the guards. Therefore, I’ve injected some special… nutrition into your food and water since a few days ago. When the nutrition is

combined with what I’m about to release, it will detonate every drop of your blood so that you can release the anger, anger, and anger that you’ve been suppressing for hundreds of years!

“Chi

As the puppet king clenched his fists and punched, crimson mist spurted out of the ventilation tubes everywhere.

It was more like a drizzle than a mist. Every resident of Bright City felt that their blood was being absorbed by their pores.

Veins that looked like electric arcs suddenly appeared in the eyes of many citizens. The veins shivered crazily and eventually broke apart.

“Huhu… Ahbh… Ahhh… Ahhhhh!”

The citizens, whose eyes were bloodshot, held their heads hard. Their thick and short fingers dug into their skulls as they roared like animals.

In only a few seconds, they were already soaked in sweat, steam, and smoke. They were like boiling boilers.

The ‘fury gas’ that was spurting out of their bodies spread out in the entire city. Even the residents who were not hit by the blood storm were entangled by the mist and could not free themselves. Gradually, furious eyes and hideous faces were revealed in the mist.

The millions of fair, fat citizens of Light seemed to have turned into animals whose hearts were filled with fury and whose veins were filled with primitive instincts!

“Yes. That’s it. Release your anger to your heart’s content. The anger of being locked up and cheated for three hundred years! If death is inevitable, ten times more people will be buried with you. It’s time to make those guys pay the price. Nobody, no matter if they are deities or devils, can trample on the

dignity of human beings without paying a price! Kill them! Kill them! Kill everyone who stands in your way!”

The puppet king in the bloody mist and the furious flames was laughing delightedly. The weird black spot between his eyebrows turned into the shape of a long, narrow saber, as if it were going to cut his head open and release something even weirder and stronger.

He blinked and suddenly changed the topic. “Right. Right now, the enemy’s claws and teeth are right next to you in the City of Light. They were the guys who castrated your fighting will and made you what you are right now. Don’t you want to kill them first as sacrifices to the flag?”

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

On the few skyscrapers, including the circular light beams on the walls of the city, the real-time coordinates of the arrest teams, the profiles of their teammates, and their clear portraits appeared one after another.

Even the yaksha squad was not spared. The omnidirectional 3D pictures of Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, Yuan Kou, and Guan Qixing, as well as their funny appearances when they thought that they were ‘hiding’ outside of the Swooping Sail Academy, were all captured by the puppet king and transmitted to

the light beam, allowing the millions of furious citizens of Light to see everything clearly.

In fact, almost a hundred highly-directional, high-powered spotlights had been reactivated by Wang Zhong. The beams of light were aimed at the heads of every arrest team, exposing them to the public.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

The crystal processors of all the members of the hunting squad were emitting earsplitting buzzes, which were particularly earsplitting in the low roars.

The heated brains of the citizens of Light seemed to have a special response to such buzzes. Maybe it was because a ‘slaughter switch’ deep inside their brain was triggered by the special frequency of the buzzes, and their roars suddenly became louder and more intense.

However, when the ‘cleaners’ and the ‘cleaners’ and the special forces of the God Bless Army tried to turn off their crystal processors in a flurry, they found that they could not. What appeared on the light beam of the crystal processors was the malicious smile of the puppet king and the ever-twisting black

spot.

“The puppet king has hacked our tactical network, stolen our encrypted data, and even hijacked our portable crystal processors!

The members of the arrest team finally realized what was going on, but it was too late.

“Now, you know where the hounds are hiding.

The puppet king said coldly, “Kill them. As long as all the dogs are killed, I will open a channel from Light City to the bridge, the engine compartment, and the arsenal. You will be the real masters of this small world.

“As I said before, the hope of survival can only be seized by oneself. Whoever shows the bravest performance in a battle, I will give him the most resources and guide him on a brand-new path to become the master of the sea of stars!

“Let’s start fighting, just like how our ancestors slayed the devils hundreds of thousands of years ago!”

The portrait of the puppet king gradually faded out of the picture.

However, the dazzling bloody countdown was getting brighter and brighter. Flames and lightning were flashing nonstop, reminding everyone that, if they did not fight with everything they had, they would only have half a day left to live!

“Damn. The puppet king discovered us a long time ago!”

“He is trying to stir up total chaos on Eternal Brightness. While countless escape capsules are being launched to the outside world, he is trying to take advantage of the chaos and escape!

“Red Pig, Seven Star, what’s the situation of the bridge right now? Can you break the information blockage of the puppet king?”

“Very difficult. I need time!”

For the first time, Guan Qixing’s voice was not as calm as that of the technical experts. There was panic in his voice. “The puppet king blocked all the data exits and hijacked the network system of the entire starship. This—this is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment plan. He must’ve been planning for a

long time!”

“There was nothing they could do!”

Li Yao was about to curse in his original tone, but he had to pretend that his face was pale and that he was rubbing his forelegs like a fly. “Not to mention the bridge, the assault starship, and the electromagnetic interference starship, even the other hunting squads are not available for communication. If

the distance between us exceeds a certain distance, the network interference will be very serious, and we might be lost at any time! The puppet king is so cunning. He is such a badass!”

Chu Zhixiao spat hard. He tumed into a streak of brightness and dashed into the crystal processor center of Sail College.

Li Yao followed closely behind and rushed inside. He spread his perception to every corner of the institute, even including the female restroom. Naturally, he found nothing.

There was nothing inside the crystal processor, not even a hair.

But a giant 3D light beam was floating above the center of the crystal processor with a row of dull words inside.

“The dream of eternal brightness has been woken up. Where is your dream?”

Chu Zhixiao gazed at the words that were clearly written for her. His eyes were blurred, and his lips were twitching. There was no telling what was on his mind.

The frantic roars outside, on the other hand, were louder and louder… A large batch of citizens of Light who had been fooled by the puppet king were charging at them!
