In this seawater-filled place, it was impossible to open it, for she was afraid that if she did, the items inside would be corroded by the seawater and become unusable.

After searching the bedroom, Jiang An only managed to retrieve a few potentially usable items from the dressing table, along with the sealed box.

As for the rest of the items, they were all damaged by the seawater.

It turns to rot at the slightest touch.

Leave the bedroom and walk towards the second hatch.

It was obvious that this was a kitchen. The pots and pans were already rusty.

She found nothing in the kitchen; it seemed there was nothing useful left.

This is not surprising, after all, the ship has been submerged in the sea for so long, and all the items have been corroded beyond recognition by the seawater.

There were only two doors in the middle cabin, and Jiang An walked up the creaking stairs to the top cabin.

With each step she took, she felt as if the stairs beneath her feet might collapse at any moment.

When she finally reached the top deck, she discovered it was a complete wasteland.

What used to be a restaurant is now just a pile of wreckage and broken furniture.

Clearly, this place has suffered severe damage.

Upon seeing the layout of the top compartment, Jiang An was surprised to find that the layout of this shipwreck was very similar to that of her steamship, except that this ship was larger.

Her heart sank. A ship with this layout could only belong to a player, and as far as she knew, no player's ship had been upgraded to such a size at this stage.

The largest ships currently are Tier 6 ships, and her ship is one of them, but it doesn't have that much space.

Clearly, this ship is a class 7 or even a class 8.

So where did the players on this ship come from?

Was it from Earth, or from somewhere else?

All of this is unknown, and all Jiang An can do now is probably try to survive!

Stepping into the cockpit, unsurprisingly, it was empty, and many things were already decayed.

"Huh?" Jiang An opened a drawer, looked at the contents, and exclaimed in surprise.

Because inside, there was a small, locked box.

The box is very small, only the size of a palm.

As Jiang An looked at the lock on the box, she suddenly remembered that she had a key, which she had obtained from opening a box at the beginning of the game.

It's about the same size as this lock cylinder.

She had kept the key in an unused box in her bedroom, and it would have been almost forgotten if she hadn't seen the locked box today.

Unexpectedly, it came in very handy today! Jiang An was secretly delighted, feeling that his luck had exploded.

Jiang An had a gut feeling that this small box could hold something good.

This box looks different from the rest of the box; it exudes an ancient and mysterious aura.

Despite the long-term erosion by seawater, the surface of this metal box shows no signs of wear and tear, as if it were just made.

However, no matter how carefully Jiang An observed, he could not determine what kind of metal the box was made of.

The once-useful terms disappeared when she entered the shipwreck, as if they were restricted by something.

The cockpit's find was this locked metal box.

Upon arriving at the fuel room, the layout there confirmed Jiang An's suspicions even more: this sunken ship was indeed the player's vessel from before.

I just don't know why it sank to the bottom of the sea.

Jiang An had a premonition that after these players died, their ships would also sink to the bottom of the sea, waiting for the next batch of players to explore.

Entering the fuel room, Jiang An carefully searched every corner.

After much effort, she finally succeeded—not only did she find some coal ore, but she also unexpectedly discovered the diesel fuel she had been searching for.

Although the quantity is small, only about 200 liters.

The diesel fuel was stored in a tin drum, making it seem especially precious.

What surprised Jiang An even more was that she keenly realized that this tin bucket was actually a special item.

First of all, its appearance is not rusty like that of an ordinary tin bucket, but rather it is in relatively good condition.

Secondly, its weight is completely inconsistent with its appearance, suggesting that there may be a huge space hidden inside the metal barrel.

Without hesitation, Jiang An put the tin bucket into his backpack, looking forward to further exploring its mysteries.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang An arrived at the lower deck, his heart filled with anticipation.

She speculated that this would be the most lucrative spot, as players typically leave basic materials here.

Sure enough, the lower deck did not disappoint her expectations.

She obtained a total of various metal resources, including 100 iron, 78 copper, 56 silver, and 34 gold, as well as some other materials. Although Jiang An did not recognize them, she still put them into her backpack one by one.

By this point, Jiang An had looted all usable items from the sunken ship.

Finally, she gently took the little turtle out of her pocket and said softly, "Let's go, little turtle!"

Because the ship looked too fragile, Jiang An made the little turtle shrink to its smallest size, just the size of her palm, so it could fit perfectly in her pocket and still have a little head sticking out to observe what was happening outside.

The moment Jiang An stepped off the boat.

A loud "boom" came from behind her.

Jiang An quickly turned around and looked behind him, only to find that the huge sunken ship had collapsed with a crash.

Seeing this scene before her, Jiang An's eyes were filled with complex emotions. After a long while, she whispered, "Let's go!"

"Gurgle~ Gurgle~" The little turtle beside her seemed to know that she was in a bad mood.

It stretched out its head and gently rubbed against Jiang An's cheek.

Jiang An felt the little turtle's care and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She gently patted the little turtle's head, smiled, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry!"

Then they turned around, and the man and the tortoise looked around.

Suddenly, Jiang An seemed to smell something, and she sniffed hard.

"It smells like oil!" Upon smelling this familiar scent, Jiang An's initially saddened heart immediately brightened.

Her eyes widened, and she looked around with surprise and delight.

In an instant, she changed direction and swam toward the place where she had smelled oil.

After much effort and exploration, Jiang An finally found the sea area containing oil.

She immediately began collecting the oil and filling it into wooden barrels.

Fortunately, she had put a lot of seawater in her backpack to collect clean water, and this seawater was stored in wooden buckets.

As time went on, her harvest increased, and she didn't know how much oil she had collected; she only knew that when a wooden bucket was full, she would fill it into her backpack.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun, a rare sight, gradually set in the west, casting its golden afterglow on the sea, creating a breathtaking scene.

Jiang An and Little Turtle returned to her steamship with a bountiful harvest.

Upon returning to the ship, Jiang An immediately went back to his bedroom and rummaged through his belongings.
