Xiao Tangqiu was stunned again. He had never expected this.

Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Tangqiu calmly and said, "A life for a life, that's all."

Something was stirring in Xiao Tangqiu's heart, but before he could say anything, the coward couldn't help but interrupt their conversation: "What about us? What about us! You can't just ignore us!"

Duan Hongzhen sneered: "Why can't we just ignore you? I'm your mother."

The coward's face flushed red, but he couldn't refute. This group of people really had no obligation to care about them. After all, they were just strangers who met by chance on this ghost ship. But at the critical moment of life and death, how could he be willing to let go of this only glimmer of hope?

At this moment, Zhang Zuo suddenly spoke up, "I know you won't just randomly rescue a few rookies who might be of no use to you. We haven't proven how useful we are right now... So Fei You and I don't expect you to help us directly, but we can swim behind you. As long as you can give us some weapons, I believe we can swim to the cruise ship on our own."

Compared to that coward, Zhang Zuo and Fei You's reactions were clearly much better. As rookies themselves, they already had the upper hand simply in terms of their mentality. Duan Hongzhen raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, sure. But even if you're in danger, we won't come back to save you. If you die, don't hold a grudge against us."

Fei You and Zhang Zuo nodded at the same time. Fei You said seriously, "Of course. You have no obligation to help us. And I also know that if I rely on others all the way, I obviously won't be able to survive in this place."

The difference between them and the coward was immediately apparent. The coward's face flushed red. "Then... then I want a weapon too! I can swim over there by myself!"

Duan Hongzhen raised an eyebrow and pulled out several knives of varying lengths from the space props: "You choose. If you survive, remember to return the knife to me. If you die, I will bury it with you."

Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but ask: "Since you prepared so many knives, why didn't you prepare an extra life jacket?"

Duan Hongzhen said as a matter of course, "Life jackets aren't something you use often, but I lose a few knives in every dungeon, so of course I have to prepare some extra ones."

Fei You and Zhang Zuo quickly picked up their knives, and then cut off a section of the fence of the watchtower with one stroke, obviously intending to use it as a life raft. Seeing this, the coward also followed their example and cut off a section of the fence.

Finally, the sea water flooded the lookout tower and the ship sank completely.

Shen Yuan put on a life jacket, put his arm around Xiao Tangqiu's waist, and swam towards the cruise ship. Countless water ghosts rushed over from all directions.

The cold sea water made Xiao Tangqiu shiver all over, and she subconsciously hugged Shen Yuan's thin and strong waist. Shen Yuan paused, but quickly pulled out his gun to deal with the attackers around him.

Xiao Tangqiu was unarmed, and he did not ask Duan Hongzhen for a weapon. After all, he knew very well his own strength. It would be better for Shen Yuan to focus on dealing with the water ghosts instead of having to hold Shen Yuan with one hand and use an unfamiliar weapon with the other... But even though he was hugging Shen Yuan's waist tightly at this time, Shen Yuan still held the gun in one hand and his arm around his waist with the other, and swam towards the cruise ship with only his legs kicking the water.

"Just let go, I'll hold you..."

In the midst of the violent storm, Xiao Tangqiu had no choice but to shout into Shen Yuan's ear.
