Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 42 The Third Round of Tests

Jiatu and Hua Lun pretended to fight for two rounds, and Hua Lun chose to raise his hand and surrender.

The trainees in the middle area watched from the audience, some were filled with righteous indignation, but more people turned their heads away and walked to other rings.

Soon, a strange situation appeared on the side of the No. 7 ring.

The middle area was as empty as new, with only two or three kittens. On the contrary, the lower area was full of people, all waiting for the hero to return in victory.

But in the arena, Jiatu's pain was only known to him.

No matter how pretentious the ten rounds are, it takes more than two minutes from the stage to the stage, so when the winning streak reaches eight rounds, the effect of the red drink will be invalid.

At that moment, he felt an extremely terrifying sense of loss of strength, and he almost passed out on the ring.

Only now did he realize why Heiyin said "drinking three bottles in a row will cause exhaustion and death".

"One bottle of power-off, two bottles of coma, three bottles of life and death, four bottles of bone ashes..."

He couldn't help whispering in his heart.

But in order to avoid being seen by the contestants in the middle zone, he still gritted his teeth and persisted, finishing ten rounds.

When he managed to hold on and turned out of the ring, his consciousness was already close to semi-comatose.

He only remembered that Hua Lun and Zhi Ti greeted him, and then his eyes went dark, and he fell forward.

The second before he passed out, he only heard someone exclaim, and then his body was hugged softly.

"Then...it seems to smell like perfume..."

Cato opened his eyes.

Hmm... It's a strange ceiling.

His body was still very tired and he didn't want to move, but he could hear the voices around him.

He turned his head away, but saw Hena leaning on the back of the hospital bed, and Warren sitting beside her talking—

Of course, since it is this perspective, it means that Warren is also sitting next to his hospital bed.

"Ah...you're awake."

Hearing the movement behind him, Warren turned his head and raised the canned fruit in his hand:

"Want to eat?"

Has this tradition continued to this day...

Jiatu gently smelled the smell of apples and sugar water in the air, shook his head lightly, and then propped up his body:

"Where's Zhiti?"

"She went home to change, after all your last... um... right?"

Warren shrugged. Since he heard Jiato ask that, he understood that Jiatu had realized what had happened.

"Is she all right?"

Jiatu said with a little guilty conscience.

"well enough."

Hua Lun nodded: "Although you were shaking a lot, you were holding you up after all, and I suspect that she had already expected you to fall, and when you jumped out of the ring, she ran faster than me .”

"thank you all……"

Hearing this, Jiatu couldn't help saying sincerely.

After all, without their help, I wouldn't be lying in the hospital anymore.

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

Warren shook his head: "If you really want to talk about help, it's your side that helps us the most."

"……what do you mean?"

Jiatu thought about it and realized something.

"Yes, both Zhiti and I have cleared the level."

The ponytail boy made a "V" gesture to Jiatu: "Although it is natural for Zhiti to clear the customs, without you, I guess this year would be gone."

Having said that, Warren sighed sincerely:
"It's a pity for Hena, she had a good chance this year..."

Hearing this, Jiatu cast his eyes on the girl, and noticed the dissatisfied gaze from the other side, he couldn't help laughing:
"I know you're fine, but you're a little out of breath."

"Well...thank you for saving me."

The girl blinked her eyes and seemed a little dissatisfied, but she still lowered her head and said.

It should be that after Warren's description, they already know the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Jiato, who realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, was about to open his mouth to make amends, but he heard Hua Lun looking at him and asking.

"What should I do? Let's fight again next year."

Jiatu replied subconsciously, after all, he had already made mental preparations before the start of the match.

But Hua Lun's eyes suddenly darkened.

"...Aren't you worried about Noah's affairs?"

"what do you mean……?"

Jiatu's heart shuddered, and he suddenly understood the real reason why Hua Lun had been staying in the infirmary waiting for him to wake up.

"Yes, I have already asked my father."

Warren nodded, with some helplessness in his voice:

"My family hasn't had a explorer for a whole generation. As a pure manager, he can't speak very well at the manager's meeting. If Noah's father Nord wants to retaliate against you, he Might not be able to stop it."

"...Where is Zhiti?" Jiatu asked a little bit reluctantly:

"It's impossible to die just because I hugged her, right?"

"Not so much."

Warren realizes that Jiatu can still joke, so it's not time to despair.

So he shook his head and said: "My father's suggestion is that you should have a explorer in your family. In this case, as the family members of the explorer, the explorer team will come forward to protect you, even if it is Nuo The power of Germany is not very useful on the expedition team."

"As for Zhiti..."

Warren thought for a while, and then added: "The situation in her family is a bit complicated. Her father lives with her stepmother now, and her stepmother doesn't like her very much, so she stays with us on weekdays."

Noticing Jiatu's dazed expression, he added:

"His father treats her well, and there is no shortage of things in the quota, but in terms of influence over her father, Zhiti is far inferior to her stepmother..."

"Is that so... Then there is no way."

Jiatu sighed, he realized that some things still depend on himself after all.

I can only give it a try...the third round of testing...

He had just made up his mind when he heard Hena beside him say softly:

"Let me take part, the third round of testing."

Both Jiatu and Warren looked at her in surprise.

"But in your situation, as long as you strengthen your physical strength a little, you will definitely be able to pass next year..."

Warren said subconsciously.

"But the death rate in the third round is high."

However, Hena suddenly said something that Jiatu didn't know much about.

Jiatu looked at Warren in astonishment.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't say it at the time."

The ponytail boy knew that he had done something wrong, so he sincerely apologized:
"I just wanted to fool you into helping us in the second round. I didn't really think that you could pass the third round."

……

Hearing this, Jiatu couldn't help being a little speechless.

At that time, he did realize that the boy was hiding something, but he didn't expect it to be such a crucial matter.

That's right... I just met him at the time, so it's impossible for him to really think about me...

Jiatu thought for a moment, suppressed the anger in his heart forcibly, and prepared to make amends, asking about the specific death rate in the third round of testing.

But I heard Warren continue to say:
"So in order to make up for it, it is also to express my apology."

Warren swept over Kato and Hena:

"I will also participate in the third round of tests."
