Chapter 268: Cell Games
On the tablet, there was a special news report.
Viewers, we interrupt our regular program to bring you an urgent news. Just now, a message confirmed from Central City reveals that the Eastern Continent has lost contact with 15 cities! Royal Defense Army has been sent to investigate these cities, and our stations special correspondent is also rushing to the scene. We believe that shortly, we will be able to provide you with the latest updates.
While we await the signal from our correspondent on the front, please allow me to give you a recap of the emergency situation that occurred.
Yesterday evening, our station received news that external communications with the 15 cities in the Eastern Continent had been cut off. Phones, faxes, and the internet, nothing could reach the residents of these 15 cities. Even the police stations in these cities have lost contact with the outside world!
To uncover the truth behind this matter, His Majesty the King has ordered the army to conduct an investigation, and our reporters have also rushed to one of the cities Ah, please wait a moment, it seems that our television stations correspondent has already arrived at the scene, and the signal is about to come in!
Beep
The television signal suddenly flickered, and then the scene changed.
A male reporter appeared in front of the camera, his face pale, and his words trembled as he spoke.
View Viewers, we are currently in a small town called Jigertown in the Eastern Continent. According to official records, this city has over 100,000 residents, but since we arrived here, I havent seen a single living person!
Yes, its as if the entire citys population has vanished! We havent seen a single living soul!
In the camera shot, besides the reporter, there were some armed soldiers walking cautiously, aiming their guns at corners from time to time.
This continued for several minutes, but they didnt encounter a single person on the road.
However, at that moment, a cry of alarm came from afar.
Dear viewers, it seems like theres a discovery ahead! Lets hurry over to take a look!
The camera started to shake violently as the reporter and the soldiers ran quickly toward the source of the sound.
But soon, their running came to a stop.
The audience watching the television could only see the distressed and trembling expressions of the reporter.
But it was not only the reporter, even the soldiers on the side were trembling as if they were in the freezing Arctic.
Oh my God! Whats going on?
Did some demon attack?
The reporter turned his head, and as if he had grabbed the cameraman, he then pointed the camera at the ground.
His hysterical voice sounded through the television: Everyone, take a look! Can anyone tell me what is this?
Bulmas eyes widened suddenly.
In front of the camera, there were clothes, shoes, socks, and hats scattered all over the ground, as if someone had once stood there, but they suddenly disappeared, leaving only their belongings behind.
Could this be some kind of prank?
A voice came from the camera, but a soldier nearby immediately retorted, Look at this! Which police officer would play a prank using their own gun?
The soldier showed them a set of police clothes with a pistol on the sleeve.
What on earth happened? Bulma exclaimed.
Bulma, its scary. Could this be related to that monster called Cell you guys talked about? Mrs. Brief said fearfully.
Cell? Bulma paused.
Im sorry, 16, wait a moment!
Bulma left Android 16 on the workbench and hurried to the computer desk, pulling out a stack of blueprints.
After a moment, Bulmas eyes widened, and she returned to Android 16 with the blueprints in her hand.
16, could you help me check if this design is for absorbing living beings? Bulma found a blueprint related to Cells tail function, and there was a description that made her think it was closely related to the current events happening in the Eastern Continent.
Android 16 lay on the workbench, mechanically scanning the blueprints, then said, Yes, Cell can convert living beings into bio-energy. It says here that everything on the absorbed persons body will be dissolved and transformed into energy by a special bio-enzyme. Its quite similar to what you saw on television just now!
But why would Cell still want to absorb bio-energy after absorbing both Android 17 and Android 18? Bulma frowned. Whatever Cells purpose was, she couldnt just stand by and watch him commit evil deeds, right? He had already killed hundreds of thousands of lives overnight!
Feeling that she couldnt ignore this, Bulma once again piloted her aircraft and flew directly to Lookout, informing everyone about the situation.
However, when she arrived on Lookout, both Lin Chen and Broly had already left Earth to continue their training on Planet Vegeta.
Among the remaining people, there was no one who was confident enough to take on Cell.
To make matters worse, Cells ability to hide was incredibly good; even Piccolo, using Kamis magic, couldnt find any trace of Cell.
Just as everyone was in a state of fear and anxiety, two days passed.
During these two days, the number of cities attacked by Cell had exceeded fifty, and over two million people had disappeared.
Such casualties caused panic among the human world.
Rumors of a man-eating monster spread rapidly in the mortal world, and public order deteriorated with an increase in incidents of rioting and robbery.
The high-ranking officials of Central Citys government were in a panic and had no way to control the current situation.
But just then, after staying hidden for a long time, Cell suddenly appeared in the open!
However, his appearance cast a shadow of fear over the entire Earth!
On this day, Bulma once again flew to Lookout in her aircraft.
As soon as she landed, Piccolo complained, Bulma, if you keep flying around recklessly like this, be careful or Ill have Mr. Popo open the barrier of Lookout!
Never mind that for now. Look, Cell is on TV again! Bulma jumped out of the aircraft holding a satellite television and pointed at the screen in panic.
What? How did Cell get on TV?
What on earth is happening?
All the people on Lookout who hadnt entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber rushed out and gathered in front of the television.
On the television screen, Cell easily killed the security personnel of the television station and then confessed to being the true culprit behind the attacks on multiple cities for the past few days.
Im very grateful for the life essence provided by those humans, but you can rest assured now, I no longer need to absorb human life.
In addition, I have some good news for all of you.
In four days, I will hold a martial arts tournament called the Cell Games, and I will accept challenges from the worlds strongest!
