"What are you thinking about when you look down at the sea?"

"I was wondering if a monster would suddenly jump out and eat me."

…

Qianyue woke up in shock.

The bamboo raft shook as she stood up, and a slight sound of water was heard.

Qianyue glanced at the time, 01:36:43.

It is now the night of the fifth day of the game, and dawn will arrive in nearly half an hour.

Qianyue lifted the reed curtain and walked out. The houseboat was drifting aimlessly in the empty waters.

All around was pitch black, with only the faint glow of the sea vines that covered the boathouse. For a moment, it felt like cruising across the Milky Way, a dreamlike experience.

The night wind blew the hem of her clothes, Qianyue looked down at the water, ripples spread out in circles from the edge of the bamboo raft, and under the reflection of the sea vine flowers, it seemed that some unknown secrets were hidden under the inky water.

The words from her dream suddenly echoed in her mind again.

Qianyue breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that I could dream in the game..."

If she remembered correctly, it should have happened when she was a child, so the picture in the dream was very vague. She didn't know why she suddenly dreamed of this sentence.

Qianyue muttered to herself, "Could it be possible that a ferocious beast really appeared in the sea?"

When she was dealing with Yu Chengyi before, the other party had revealed a piece of information to her, saying that there might be a sea beast appearing in the next few days, and advised her not to go into the water easily.

But a whole day had passed, and Qianyue didn't see anything wrong.

However, during the day on the fifth day, the uninhabited island was also submerged, and the archipelago where Qianyue was located completely turned into an ocean. She had no choice but to get on her houseboat and start wandering aimlessly.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. Anyway, we have enough food and drink now, so I might as well treat it as a trip."

There was nearly half an hour left before dawn, so Qianyue simply sat down cross-legged on the bamboo raft, quietly feeling the tranquility of the moment, letting the wind push the raft forward.

Qianyue simply laid on the bamboo raft with her hands resting on her head, sighing, "If only it could always be this peaceful and quiet."

It's a pity that this is impossible.

Now the darkness covers the entire sea area. Looking around, there is not even a single star in the sky.

If this continues, it will probably rain tomorrow.

As for whether it is just raining...

A series of possible secondary disasters suddenly emerged in Qianyue's mind.

Tornadoes, tsunamis, storms...

"So what will happen?" Qianyue murmured, her eyes full of interest.

No matter what happens, it can't stop her from slacking off =v=

The next day.

The wind was blowing violently.

Countless people who lost their island homes are struggling to drift in the sea.

The surging waves hit all kinds of "boats", as if they were going to swallow them all in an instant.

At this time, the system prompt sounded.

【Due to weather changes, a storm will soon hit. 】

【Please be prepared, players. 】

One player was surprised: "Now there are warnings when disaster strikes?"

Someone said unhappily, "Survival games are all about the thrill and excitement. Now, we know about the disaster before it even happens. There's no challenge at all."

Someone replied disdainfully: "Come on, if there really were no clues, who knows how many people would die."

Despite the arguments, there were also some calm players among the group. She warned, "Stop arguing. Since the system has deliberately prompted this, it must be something serious."

"Don't forget the last time I was reminded was when I turned on the Eternal Night mode."

Everyone fell silent.

The eternal night mode in the previous game was indeed something they had not expected or even heard of. If the system had not informed them in advance, more than half of them might have died.

The woman looked around. They were all from the same archipelago gathered together, but almost none of them had a decent boat.

"This storm is definitely not as simple as an ordinary storm. Everyone should quickly prepare. We must unite and rebuild a ship."

Speaking of shipbuilding, someone suddenly realized something else. He looked at the tree branch emerging from the water not far away and said:

"Where's Sanzi? He just said he went into the water to get some wood. Why hasn't he come back yet?"

After the archipelago was submerged, most crops could no longer be collected, but things like trees, as long as they were highly exposed above the water, could still be plucked.

"Has it been several minutes?"

"Nothing's going to happen, is it?"

"Do you want to go down and take a look?"

"Go check it out—wait, what is that? It's coming! Run—"

Before the player could finish his words, the giant ghost lotus beneath him suddenly sank, and the player fell uncontrollably into the water, and then he seemed to be dragged into the sea by something!

Almost all the players who were with him were killed.

A few minutes later, a trace of blood floated to the surface of the water, and then slowly spread and faded away in the surging sea water.

…

The same dialogue and the same scene happened in almost every corner of the sea.

But the only difference is that some people can only look at the limited resources and worry silently, while others lie on the bamboo raft and watch the clouds roll by bored.

A flash of silver light passed before his eyes. At first, Qianyue thought it was the reflection of the sea and did not pay much attention to it.

But the next second, she sat up straight and became alert instantly.

There was something under her raft.

Qianyue didn't know what was down there, so she didn't dare to act rashly. But she could guess that it must be quite large.

In fact, it is not only "not small". If you look down from the sky at this time, you will find that there is a huge black shadow swimming slowly under Qianyue's boat!

Qianyue tried hard to hold her breath and remain calm.

Her keen intuition enables her to detect the coming of a crisis at the first moment.

Even the slightest movement of the ship could make her nervous.

——The guy below is testing.

Most of the fierce beasts in the sea have the ability to think, but their abilities vary.

Among them, killer whales are the most ferocious and the most intelligent - but if Qianyue encounters a killer whale, she will not be so nervous, because most killer whales will not hurt people and will be very friendly to people.

But as for the specific reason, although Qianyue majored in biology, she didn't know the real answer. From ancient times to the present, various schools of thought have different opinions.

Including but not limited to "Killer whales are highly social creatures like humans"; "Killer whales belong to the dolphin family, we are all mammals, and perhaps we were close relatives of humans in ancient times" ... and so on.

In short, when Qianyue was in school, she often heard people arguing in animal behavior classes. Everyone was so confident that she thought it was a killer whale spirit.

On the other hand, the great white shark, which is weaker than the killer whale in intelligence and power but is notorious for its ferocity, is recognized as "curious".

In fact, humans are not included in the great white shark's diet, and they even think humans are not tasty at all.

But all great white sharks have the same temper as a naughty child who wants to touch and bump into everything he sees, and they want to bite everything they see.

Bite? That's probably because they've never bitten someone before and they just want to try something new.

Qianyue thought: If there really is a great white shark in this water, then the players' boats of various shapes will probably be in trouble...

After waiting for about a minute or two, the guy underwater finally gave up.

The raft stopped bobbing here and there and floated steadily on the sea. Qianyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If she touched it again, she was afraid that the sea vines would be torn apart and the bamboo raft would be broken apart.

Qianyue moved twice, no longer feeling the danger. She turned her head to look at the sea not far away. Her white dorsal fin was slightly exposed above the water, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

She must have been blinded by this light before.

Qianyue said in surprise: "It really is a shark."

It was just a little far away, so Qianyue couldn't tell what kind it was - maybe it was a species she didn't know, just like Haiman.

The thought of this made Qianyue feel even more amused. She had never imagined being able to observe the world in an immersive way without leaving her home.

"To achieve this, those game planners must have lost a lot of hair." After saying this, Qianyue laughed.

She added, "But no matter what, I'm afraid I have to be careful in the next few days."

After watching the big guy go away and confirming that it would not suddenly turn around, Qianyue carefully checked the bamboo raft from beginning to end.

Apart from a part of the sea vine being torn off at the tail end, there were no other major problems.

Qianyue was puzzled. "Given its size, it wouldn't take much effort to just knock the raft over. Why would it bother trying to pull it?"

The bitten sea vines were not completely disconnected from the bamboo raft, but floated in the water like ribbons, and were dragged along with the movement of the bamboo raft.

It had been seen before that large animals had indeed begun to appear underwater, so Qianyue was not in a position to go into the water, and could only use the sea vines stored in her backpack for secondary reinforcement.

Because of the extra sea vines, the green plants at the stern appear to be more numerous than anywhere else.

But the bamboo raft itself is dark green, and with the white flowers on the sea vines, it looks like a meadow at a glance.

"Wait, grass?"

Qianyue suddenly had an idea in her mind.

"Could that big guy have mistaken my boat for a clump of sea creeper?"

As if to confirm Qianyue's guess, for the next hour or so, she felt like she had entered a fishing ground, encountering two big guys from time to time.

But Qianyue is not like other players who bluff all the time. No matter what she encounters, she always looks calm.

Those big guys either ignored her presence directly, or approached her tentatively like the shark before, and finally walked away with a flick of their tails.

Qianyue initially thought she was just unlucky, but she soon discovered that these large animals seemed to be migrating consciously.

She looked up at the sky. The dark clouds in the west were growing thicker and thicker, and they might come over at any time.

Because of their body structure, animals can sense many things that the human body cannot sense, and their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm sometimes causes them to behave abnormally.

So for people in the wilderness, animals are one of the best weather forecasters.

"It looks like a storm is approaching."

Qianyue murmured and immediately made a decision: to follow these fish south.
