The waves grew higher and higher, then suddenly crashed down, flooding the deck. If the crew hadn't been prepared, the cabins would probably have been flooded by now.

The helmsman calmly steered the ship, the captain offered advice from the side, and Fang Xiyue and Chu Xingyan helped to calm the guests. In short, everything was very chaotic yet very orderly.

Fang Xiyue felt a little seasick on the swaying boat, her head was spinning. She had never been on a boat for a long time before, and now she could finally understand how people who get seasick feel. It was really uncomfortable and she felt like vomiting.

"Yueyue, are you alright?" Chu Xingyan hugged Fang Xiyue worriedly when he saw that she looked unwell.

"It's okay, I can handle it." She couldn't let seasickness defeat her, so Fang Xiyue gritted her teeth and persevered.

About two hours later, all the uncooperative passengers were tied up and gagged. Although the method was undesirable, it was the most efficient. Many passengers thought the two were kidnappers.

The tsunami lasted for nearly 6 hours before it ended. Those who weren't seasick vomited several times, and Fang Xiyue was no exception; she vomited until there was nothing left to vomit.

Fortunately, there was plenty of food on board, so they didn't have to find their own food; otherwise, they would have had to fish while the tsunami subsided.

The number was still 1800. No one had died, but some people were injured in the impact. In this situation, it was already a miracle that they survived. There were other ships on board that were helping to treat the wounds.

The passenger ship continued its voyage, and the captain planned to dock at the nearest port, which would take about three hours.

They should be safe as long as nothing goes wrong within these three hours, but the ship sailed for a long time without reaching the port they were going to, and they seemed to be trapped in one area.

Fortunately, the day passed peacefully. The next morning, after everyone ate the food prepared on the ship, they all went back to their rooms to prepare for the three-day period.

Not long after returning to the room, one of the passengers, who had been very cooperative, suddenly erupted. He had a remote control in his hand and shouted, "Die! Die! Die with me!"

Although the crew member in charge reacted quickly, the remote control button had already been pressed, and then explosions began in the cabin. There were bombs in more than one place, and many passengers' cabins were also bombed.

Many people lost their lives instantly. The ship was damaged in places and water began to enter the cabins.

"Quick, to the lifeboats!" The captain immediately ordered the crew to lower the lifeboats, but the lifeboats could only carry a limited number of people.

Fang Xiyue, Chu Xingyan, and the crew untied the passengers as quickly as possible, as they would have to jump ship if necessary.

Explosions were still occurring in many parts of the ship, eventually forcing everyone to jump overboard. Fang Xiyue and Chu Xingyan were strong enough to dismantle a large section of deck and throw it into the sea, providing some people with support.

Not everyone who comes to the sea can swim, so after the explosion, only 1,200 people survived. At this moment, the waves crashed down, knocking some people unconscious.

Fang Xiyue and Chu Xingyan worked hard to push the passengers who had fallen into the sea onto the debris on the deck, letting the waves carry them to an unknown place.

They drifted at sea for a long time and finally reached a deserted island before it got completely dark. When they got on the island, everyone was shivering and most of them had developed a high fever.

The number of people killed in this shipwreck has been reduced to 900, meaning that half of them have died. If any more people die, their mission will have failed.

What does 900 people mean? The survivors couldn't help but cry. Everyone was terrified of having to live on this deserted island.

Fang Xiyue and Chu Xingyan have extensive experience in surviving on deserted islands, but back then they had superpowers. Now they rely solely on their physical strength, but they are still much stronger than others.

"Captain, you organize everyone to set up temporary shelters. Xiyue and I will go find food and drinks. We need to work together to get through this difficult time!" Chu Xingyan met with the captain before taking Fang Xiyue to find food.

If the captain wasn't entirely convinced of the existence of advanced civilizations before, he now had no choice but to believe it. This was clearly a case of wanting to kill them all, showing absolutely no mercy.

"Okay, go ahead." The captain shouted loudly for everyone to help. The crew members were very cooperative, and some of the passengers were also cooperative, but there were still some people who were completely uncooperative.

They insulted the captain and crew, believing that they were the reason for the current situation and that if they had listened to them and returned to port in the first place, the accident would not have happened.

The captain explained very loudly, but they wouldn't listen at all. They said that the talk of advanced civilization was utter nonsense, and they even thought that the captain just wanted to leave them there so he could ask his family for a ransom.

The captain and his crew were also innocent. If they could, they wouldn't have wanted to get involved, but now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to resort to force. Although the passengers were very unwilling, there was nothing they could do but compensate them later.

Some passengers even tried to persuade them, saying that it was impossible for the captain and his crew to have caused the tsunami and explosion. They couldn't have risked their lives. So many people had already died; it couldn't have been a simple kidnapping and extortion.

However, it's no use trying to persuade them; some people simply won't listen. They have their own way of thinking, and you can't change them at all.

Fang Xiyue and Chu Xingyan searched for food on the island, while the crew members fished and caught shrimp on the shore. They had a hearty meal that day.

The next day was sunny and calm, as if nothing had ever happened. After eating, they waited on the beach for a boat to rescue them.

As evening fell, a boat did indeed pass by. Everyone waved and made flags. When the boat got closer, it turned out that the captain recognized the people on board; they had come to rescue people.

After getting back on the ship, Fang Xiyue still felt a sense of unreality, but she also knew clearly that the first stage of the advanced arena should be over.

The captain had already reported the matter, but Fang Xiyue and the others left without waiting for a meeting with the leaders. Their sudden disappearance only increased the credibility of the story, making them even more vigilant.

——

When Fang Xiyue woke up, she was in a speeding car. When she opened her eyes, Su Zheyu was sitting next to her. The two looked at each other and immediately began to check the problem.

They were on a winding mountain road. The driver was in the driver's seat, a girl was in the passenger seat, and the two of them were in the back seat. It was raining outside.

"Driver, let's stop the car. It's raining, so let's not continue." Su Zheyu asked the driver to stop the car.

"We can't stop. Grandma's birthday banquet is about to start. If we stop here, we'll miss it," the girl in the passenger seat objected.

Despite the uncertainty, the driver chose to continue driving. He had driven this road countless times and was confident in his abilities.
