The protective gla.s.s s.h.i.+eld could not block off 100% of the surrounding radiation. The gla.s.s could block the radioactive particles in the air, the effects from the radioactive clouds, and radiation-contaminated creatures, etc. However, no matter what methods the residents tried, they were unable to decontaminate the soil under their feet.

The residents of Garden of Eden could not eat soil grown crops, instead, they had to ration their crops which were grown via aeroponics. It took twenty years of research before the “Crop Sticky Cloning Technique” was developed. It was only then that sufficient food was produced to support the city. In the past, women who haven’t had children could never have a full meal.

Due to low-grade terrestrial radiation from the ground, all the residents were recommended to consume a certain dosage of anti-radiation gummies every month to maintain their health. In fact, only low-income residents lived in small buildings or on the first or second floor. The rich people in the city all owned sky villas and their own advanced technologies to reduce their radiation exposure.

Unfortunately, Lin Sanjiu was naively unaware of this information. After she killed Sandwhale, there was no one around to feed her any anti-radiation gummies. Sandwhale was just the head of a gang which kidnapped female Posthumans. Even though he had quite a few men under him, there was no reason for them to work together once he died. If it weren’t because Garden of Eden wanted more contestants and set a condition that people who bring in the winning contestant could stand to win some of the prize money from the wagers, those men that came would have scattered like birds. Thus, they wouldn’t bother spending any effort on the person brought in by Sandwhale.

In a normal world, the natural background radiation that humans are exposed to is only a few millisieverts per year. The radiation delivered by a CT scan or a chest x-ray also doesn’t cause much harm to a human body. But when radiation had to be measured in sieverts, it would be dangerous.

If a normal person was exposed 3 to 4 sieverts of radiation, they would have already died or ended up half-dead. When Lin Sanjiu first arrived in Garden of Eden, her body already absorbed up to 15 to 16 sieverts of radiation. Without her physical enhancements, she would have died long ago. Even though she was saved by Er Dao’s blood and by eating the anti-radiation gummies, she was still exposed to constant radiation. The only difference was it went from a few sieverts per hour to a slower rate of a few hundred millisieverts. This did not apply only to her, but everything that existed in this world, except the duoluozhongs. Pa.s.sive abilities like Radiation Immunity and anti-radiation gummies only helped to reduce the acc.u.mulated radiation in a person’s body to a safe level. This was also the reason why those anti-radiation gummies, which had addictive effects, were still very popular outside the snow globe city.

Since Lin Sanjiu had not consumed any anti-radiation gummies for almost a week, the radiation in her body had already reached 10 sieverts. If she wasn’t so tense and focused on the tournament, she would have noticed her growing discomfort much earlier.

The image of her body smas.h.i.+ng against the wall of her capsule and slowly sliding down was captured by the mini camera inside the capsule. Lin Sanjiu did not wake up even when the matches for the fourth day of the tournament ended. However, the news that Contestant 97 had fell into a coma only took up a very small corner on a page of entertainment news that day. It didn’t raise much interest other than stopping a few rich men from “sponsoring” her.

Xinyi, the well-endowed Contestant 70 and three other “sponsored” women in the afternoon match died that day, living up to the ‘expectations’ that Garden of Eden had of them. This was nothing extraordinary. Ever since someone had thought up of the brilliant plan to limit the contestants to all female posthumans, it just became a common acceptable practice in the Garden of Eden.

Now, there were only 60 contestants who had not partic.i.p.ated in the matches. Out of all the matches in the past four days, there were only two survivors. Apart from the physical injuries they sustained, they were both totally traumatized. The contestant who was in the same match as Xinyi already went crazy after witnessing the 12 minutes Xinyi had suffered at the hands of those duoluozhongs. Every now and then, incoherent singing could be heard from her capsule. The other contestant was in a slightly better state. When the organizers gave her a choice to “continue partic.i.p.ating or stop”, she withdrew into her capsule without any hesitation.

On the night after the fourth day of the tournament, all the women in the capsules, except Lin Sanjiu, became very desperate. It was one thing to partic.i.p.ate and fight with duoluozhongs because they still had a winning chance, but they realized that killing themselves might be a better fate than being tortured and humiliated to death like Xinyi and the others. Yet, once they had the intention to do so, they were already unable to implement their plan.

The organizers were already very familiar with such antics after holding so many rounds of tournaments. As the female contestants started to realize their circ.u.mstances, rebel, or try to kill themselves, the measures used against them also become more sophisticated. The nozzles installed in the capsules, used for spraying the pheromones, now sprayed a different gas.

It was very expensive to manufacture this particular gas so the organizers would only use it at this point in the tournament. The women suddenly felt very weak. Although they couldn’t move their limbs and couldn’t even move their eyes, their five senses were still sharp and their brains were still working fine. Well, except for the portion that controlled their movements.

When it was time for a contestant to enter the arena, she will be doused with a sour liquid. Once she could move her body, the capsule would open and a machine would untie her. By then, anyone in that position would know that it was their match.

The “sponsors.h.i.+ps” and bets for the fifth day were just as horrendous. During this time, many normal women in Garden of Eden would switch off their television and wait in fear for their husbands to return. From the fifth day onward, watching the tournament would evoke the greatest brutality, insanity, and l.u.s.t from their men. This would continue until the end of the tournament and many normal women were also tortured to death during this period.

The families who had daughters were usually very alert during this period. Even if they had sold their daughters, they were still their children. So they were ent.i.tled to some compensation if their daughters died. For that reason, some families refuse to raise sons, they specifically raised daughters so that they could sell them and hope to earn more during the Lunar New Year Tournament.

Those parents were certainly not disappointed by the tournament this year. At the end of the fifth day, there was still a lingering aura of tension and brutality in the empty arena. With the lighting effects and applause, the arena seemed dead. A few duoluozhongs that refused to sleep would occasionally let out some grumbling sounds as they walked around the bloodied floor. The electric net, which segregated the battle arena from the audience seats, would make a snapping sound and emit a flash of light every so often. These sounds made the atmosphere of dead silence in the capsule containment area even weirder and more desolate.

Fifty women laid at the bottom of their capsules. Most of them had their eyes wide opened. Lin Sanjiu wasn’t sprayed with that gas but her condition was poorer than the others. She slipped in and out of her coma. She had a high fever and though it was not as bad as the previous time, she could not stay conscious and her body ached all over. Despite that, she was unable to do much. She wanted to revert her [Er Dao’s Corpse] card back to its original form to obtain more of his blood but somehow, she failed even after trying a few times. She suspected that her high fever affected her ability but she did manage to pull out her mouthpart weapon without any issue.

Within the rare few minutes which she was conscious, she inferred that the s.p.a.ce around her might be too tight. There just wasn’t enough s.p.a.ce for Er Dao’s large body to corporealize, so naturally she couldn’t summon the card. She heard the sound of heavy breathing walking towards the containment area. This was accompanied by the light from multiple flashlights.

Initially, she could hear the hesitation from the sound of the footsteps but as the men started to talk, they moved much quicker towards the capsule. They took less than a minute to reach the capsule containment area.

“Are you sure this is alright?” a man spoke with a rough voice and let out a dry cough as though it would calm his nerve. “I have lots of experience f*cking women, but are these even considered women…”

“Hehe. There is something you don’t know.” The flashlights came closer and when a beam of light sweep across the floor, it revealed a scrawny man. Even though he was short and appeared skinny, he had an attention-grabbing, large spare-tire belly.

“I have been a night security guard for this tournament for a few years now. This is not even my first time doing this.” The scrawny man patted the gun attached to his waist. “They are not different from ordinary women. I would say that it feels even better! Maybe they run a lot out there, so their thighs are so firm…”

As he said this, he gulped a mouthful of saliva noisily.

The man with the rough voice stopped for a moment. He seemed convinced but he had a new question, “But the radiation…”

“Don’t worry. I brought some gummies and anti-radiation after gel! If it was dangerous, would I join you?” The skinny security guard scoffed. He pointed to the others and said, “They all paid good money before I brought them here. If you weren’t my relative, I wouldn’t tell you this good deal…”

One of the men who had paid him laughed, “That’s right. This is so much cheaper than getting a taxidermied model or souvenirs after the tournament. It’s great value! Anyway, they’ll be dead tomorrow. Why not let us guys enjoy them?

A wave of dizziness washed over Lin Sanjiu so she immediately bit her own lips. The pain kept her conscious as she swallowed the salty taste in her mouth. Now, the men’s voice was just nearby.

There were six men in total, and some of them were wearing those anti-radiation robes, while others were not. After all, they wanted excitement when they decided to sneak into the arena to have some fun with these women. What could be more exciting than taking risks while f*cking women? Those that didn’t wear their robes were obviously experienced men, they even went their own ways, pointing their flashlights into the capsules.

One of the men who was wearing a robe was still very worried, “Are you sure they can’t fight back?

The scrawny security guard sounded annoyed when he replied again, “Of course! I have done this for years. Did I ever get into any trouble? Don’t worry!”

A man, some distance away, pulled out a young girl from a capsule. He panted heavily while he laughed, “Have you heard of event flags? Haha! If this was a television drama, your words would have triggered a death flag…”

The scrawny security guard responded with a half-hearted laugh and ignored his relative. He held the flashlight in his mouth as he unbuckled his belt. A man without robes walked around a few rounds as if he was unsatisfied with what he saw.

“I did a busty woman and an eight-year-old last year. I am so sick of those pure, pitiful types…” he mumbled, “They always choose the same few types, it just gets a little boring.”

The skinny security guard paused, turning his head to laugh. He walked over to Lin Sanjiu’s capsule and knocked on it. “I know one which you might like… Do you see this? She is the contestant who joined willingly. She is just like an ice queen… Why don’t you try her?”

The man without robes narrowed his eyes and smiled leeringly as he opened the door. Lin Sanjiu’s feeble body immediately fell out as the door opened.
