The music stopped and all the voices fell silent.
This blond man had a natural leadership style.
Countless pairs of eyes looked up at him, watching him stand in front of the microphone and start to speak.
A month of English training was not in vain.
Xiao Ming understood roughly.
This person was indeed the consul.
On behalf of the municipal government, he welcomed the four teams participating in the Rome trials and said some words of encouragement.
Xiao Ming noticed that when the electronic screen was broadcasting the governor's speech, the camera would switch to himself and Gong Er from time to time.
Obviously, this yellow-skinned slave team has successfully attracted the public's attention.
As long as they advance, they will definitely be able to attract sponsorship. .
After the consul finished speaking, the music started again, and four floats slowly drove into the main entrance of the Colosseum.
Xiao Ming looked at the simple and mottled outer wall, and the scene of ancient Roman slaves fighting beasts thousands of years ago came to mind.
Now, what he will face is bound to be even more cruel than then.
This is also a true portrayal of human civilization reaching its end.
The float stopped in a high and wide corridor, with four cars next to each other.
Xiao Ming noticed that the three teams in front were looking at him with eager eyes.
Obviously, their outstanding performance at the city entry ceremony turned him into a The target of public criticism.
The brothers and Gong Er returned to the carriage, and Sally and Johnson clapped together.
Xiao Ming's face was not very good-looking.
What he thought was that once the other three teams joined forces to deal with his own team in the selection competition, they would be in big trouble.
He expressed this concern.
Sally shrugged her shoulders and said that the battle of The other brothers expressed their confidence to overcome any difficulties.
Gong Er suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xiao Ming so hard that all five finger prints came out.
Xiao Ming was beaten stupidly, and everyone was also dumbfounded, because the two people's performance just now was so intimate that they seemed to be pretending to be real.
She looked at him coldly: "You are not allowed to kiss me without my permission in the future."
He was furious: "Ghost girl, even if you beg me from now on, I won't kiss you."
Sally hurriedly comforted the two of them: "We will talk about the future later.
Everyone has been standing for a long time.
Let's take a break.
After lunch, the selection competition will officially begin."
Xiao Ming looked at the time so quickly and saw that he could still sleep for two hours.
He quickly walked out of the turbulent emotions, went to the box, lay down on the berth, and didn't care about anything.
At noon, Gong Er came to call him again, smiling as if he had forgotten the slap.
As a leader, Xiao Ming doesn't remember the faults of others, and after a good sleep, his anger has subsided.
Everyone gathered around the bar to eat a sumptuous lunch, which might be their last meal.
Xiao Ming has a huge appetite and will be a full-fledged ghost even if he dies.
Johnson gave Xiao Ming and the others an advice.
In the selection competition, they should try not to take action first.
Once they do, they should kill the strongest team first.
This opinion coincides with Xiao Ming's idea, but he doesn't know which team is the strongest.
He only knew that the four teams were named after a, b, c, and d, and they were team d.
Johnson showed his due value at the critical moment and told Xiao Ming that the strongest one is Team B, a half-white and half-black Freedom Team.
They are all well-trained professional killers.
The other two teams, Team C is a black slave team with the second lowest combat effectiveness; Team A is a purely white free team and is the weakest.
The upper limit of each team is eight, and the lower limit is five.

They are all from the knockout round, so there will inevitably be casualties.
If the number is lower than five, they can be supplemented.
Xiao Ming knew it well.
According to the rules, there were no weapons in the trial.
The brothers were not capable of fighting with bare hands, not to mention that he had the unique skill of combining a man and a sword.
However, it is best to save this trick until the Battle of X.
After dinner, it was Sally's preparation, designing the image of the war slave before the game.
One of the dominant rules of the Sally used a paintbrush to paint their faces with paint.
In the color lottery before the game, team a got silver, team b got gold, team c got yellow, and Xiao Ming's team d got red to distinguish them.
Sally drew three sloping red lines on each of the brothers' faces, from the left cheek to the right cheek, as if there were three bloody marks, full of murderous intent.
These oil paints are specially made.
When applied to the skin, they will not fade, wash off, or rub off.
They require special potions to remove them.
When it was Gong Er's turn, she quietly made a request, and Sally complied.
When the brothers saw it, they were all happy.
It turned out that Gong Er asked Sally to paint all her important parts with red paint, as if she was wearing red underwear.
Gong Er spun around in a circle and deliberately asked Xiao Ming: "Bald head, how do you feel?"
Xiao Ming answered honestly: "This is much better, at least it won't distract me."
She smiled at this and said, "Then just concentrate on leading the team."
Finally, it was time to enter the arena.
According to their respective code names, the four teams entered the inner arena of the Colosseum from the four channels a, b, c, and d.
There were no live audiences, only live broadcasts, facing all the city-states of the Fourth Reich. live streaming.
The selection competitions of the four major city-states are held at the same time, just like the unified examination in different places, to prevent anyone from cheating.
The theme of this year's x game will be announced soon.
Xiao Ming, the leader, looked at the stainless steel isolation door in front of him, took a deep breath, held the wheel handle on the door with both hands, and turned it clockwise.
With a hissing sound, the door opened, and a stream of hot air rushed in.
Almost at the same time, the green light on everyone's silver belt turned into a red light, flashing to remind them that the countdown to death had begun, and if they did not enter the arena within ten seconds, it would detonate.
Xiao Ming led everyone in an orderly manner and entered quickly.
The silver belt turned green again, but the eyes were red, as if they were in a huge furnace.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw their surroundings clearly, and their expressions changed drastically.
"It's a dog day!"
Xiao Wu only cursed half of it before his mouth was sealed by the burning air.
Xiao Ming's heart skipped a beat.
Even if he had imagined various possibilities in advance, there was no way this year's theme would be this.
Under their feet was a rather large black rock.
On the edge of the rock was flaming red liquid, rolling and bubbling.
The air was filled with the smell of sulfur, which was very pungent.
It turned out that the entire arena was plunged into a fiery red magma, surrounded by black rocks of different sizes, dotted here and there.
The technology of the Fourth Reich is truly beyond imagination.
It can actually create a stadium filled with magma.
In the curling heat, Xiao Ming saw from a distance that the other three teams also appeared in the corners in three directions.
The two diagonal lines formed by the four teams formed an x on the circular arena.
He observed closely that only the rocks at the footholds of the four teams were larger.
The rocks around them could accommodate at most two people.
The rocks toward the center became smaller, and some could only be stepped on with one foot.

The most terrifying thing is that the edges of these rocks are gradually melting into magma Xiao Ming's original tactics were completely disrupted.
He originally wanted to concentrate his forces and eliminate Team B first, but the current magma landscape made it impossible for him to launch a concentrated attack.
He covered his mouth with his hand to reduce the heat attack, and gave instructions: "Everyone try to talk as little as possible, stay close together, don't fall, and wait and see before talking."
However, this was not possible because the rocks were hot and everyone's bare feet could not stay.
They had to keep beating to avoid being burned.
The fat man stood alone in an area equal to two people, and when it started to jump, it felt a bit crowded.
And the edge of the rock slowly melts away, leaving it in place is not a long-term solution.
Xiao Ming looked at a small rock nearby, stretched out one foot and stepped on it to make sure it was firm, and then stepped on it with both feet.
On the big rock, it suddenly became relaxed.
Xiao Ming shouldered the responsibility of the whole team and continued to observe the rest of the team while jumping on the small rocks.
After the initial shock, the three teams also calmed down, stayed on their footing, and kept jumping, like dancing masters.
Xiao Ming thought to himself that if he took Wang Kun and Xiao Wu, who were good at legging, and rushed over, he should be able to kill his opponents one by one.
However, Team B, whom he wanted to deal with first, was the furthest away.
The three of them stepped on small rocks and fought their way over.
On the way, they accidentally fell into the lava, and their bodies were completely destroyed.
Moreover, the opponent is sitting back and waiting on the big rock, waiting for work.
It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Xiao Ming was thinking left and right in his brain, worrying about gains and losses, making it difficult to make a decision.
"Ah, watch your step!"
Gong Er suddenly let out a short scream.
Xiao Ming was startled, looked over, and immediately screamed something bad.
It turned out that there were cracks in the big rock, and as everyone jumped, the cracks became bigger and bigger.
He hurriedly ordered: "Fat man jumps to the small rock."
The fat man didn't dare to neglect.
He spotted a slightly larger rock and jumped over it.
However, cracks have formed, the big rocks are falling apart, and the collective of Team D is about to disperse.
"It's all my fault," the fat man blamed himself, standing on tiptoes like a fat swan.
Xiao Ming immediately noticed that the other three teams were also commotion, and some people jumped on the small rocks on the side.
Coincidentally, it should not be accidental, it was controlled by the organizer.
Red magma gushes out from the cracks.
Without waiting for Xiao Ming's instructions, Wang Kun, Xiao Wu and Lin Juxin jumped onto the small rocks next to them like frightened birds.
Originally, the brothers protected Gong Er in the center.
Now, she was left alone, but the situation was quite bad.
The lava was flowing everywhere and could get on her feet at any time.
She turned around and found that the small rocks nearby were occupied by several brothers.
She could not jump over the rocks further away.
Several screams suddenly came from the distance.
It turned out that someone in the three teams fell into the lava and let out a dying wail.
Gong Er's beauty turned pale, that person's fate was probably her fate.
Suddenly, a large stream of magma surged out and rushed directly to her feet.
The situation was extremely critical.
Xiao Ming just wanted to ask Xiao Wu, who was closest to Gong Er, to jump away and let her jump to his position, but found that the time difference was too late.
He didn't have time to think about it and shouted: "Gong Er, jump to me":
