Chapter 28 Anhe 4
The conclusion drawn was that cruise ships are now like isolated islands, unable to contact the outside world.
As for when rescue will be possible, it depends on when the port discovers the Anhe's anomaly; he cannot guarantee that.
After he finished speaking, someone finally couldn't hold back and threw a punch at him.
The first mate was caught off guard and stumbled, then the crew and angry tourists started fighting again, and the scene became chaotic!
Shi Jinwei withdrew from the crowd, intending to go back to her room and stay put, avoiding going out unless absolutely necessary.
Turning around, he saw a male player with a silver pistol standing not far away.
He seemed to be there to gather intelligence as well, calmly observing the farce unfolding before him.
Shi Jinwei turned around, and the two of them met eyes unexpectedly.
She nodded politely to the man, and walked past him like an ordinary NPC, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Seeing her leave, the man glanced at the farce in the driver's seat and also turned and left.
By the third day of the game, all the food in the ship's shops had been sold out.
Those with food hid in their rooms, afraid to come out, while those without food used water to stave off hunger. The food crisis had just begun, and everyone remained rational, refraining from any rash actions.
At this point, they still held onto a sliver of hope for rescue, thinking that if they held on for a few more days, perhaps rescue would arrive.
On the fourth day of the game, Shi Jinwei continued to hide in her room and did not go out, while some people started knocking on doors and buying food from others.
But at that time, even if you offered 100 coins for a loaf of bread, the seller might not be willing to sell it to you. So, all that day, the outside was filled with knocking on doors, cries of longing, and the wailing of children.
On the fifth day of the game, some people started going to the fishing platform below the cruise ship to start fishing.
This is a special platform on the cruise ship, designed specifically for fishing enthusiasts. Fishing rods are provided next to the platform for guests to use.
But no matter how many fishing rods you prepare, the platform is only so big. So when people heard the news and rushed there, they were met with a platform overcrowded with people and an empty fishing rod rack.
However, human nature prevented them from having the urge to steal, and they watched others fish with longing.
The first person to try it was incredibly smug, standing on the edge of the platform casting his line with an air of certainty.
However, Shi Jinwei checked the information and found that there were very few fish that could be caught for sea fishing in the area where the Anhe was sailing.
The ocean is mostly inhabited by relatively non-aggressive fish like sharks, so the chances of catching food are extremely slim.
Sure enough, no one caught a single fish in a whole day. The crowd dispersed.
On the sixth day of the game, many people were still unwilling to give up and continued to fish.
The sea was calm that day, and many people who were bored staying in their rooms came out to join in the fun.
Before noon, someone's fishing rod actually started to move.
The man got excited and quickly pulled the fishing rod.
The fishing rod remained motionless, and even seemed to be pulling the person down with it.
People around rushed over to help, but even with all their strength, the fishing rod wouldn't come back an inch. Instead, they were pulled closer and closer to the water's surface.
At this moment, someone finally noticed something was wrong and quickly shouted, "Throw the rod!"
But it was too late. A huge creature leaped out of the water and attacked the people on the platform with its mouth open.
Shi Jinwei's room is a sea-view room with a small balcony.
When she heard someone shouting, she ran straight to the balcony to check.
Under the sunlight, a row of sharp teeth bit down on the tourists below, instantly taking away those who had just thrown down their fishing rods and were trying to retreat.
It turned out to be a shark.
It bit the man's upper body into its mouth, and when it fell into the water, the man's legs were still on the platform.
The water was quickly stained red with blood.
The excessively bloody scene stunned the onlookers. Someone was the first to react, screaming and running upstairs.
The person who had just helped pull the fishing rod was also terrified, his whole body stiffening with fear.
Hearing people shouting brought him back to his senses, and he tried to run uphill with the crowd.
However, their location was very close to the water's edge, and although this shark was hunting alone, the smell of blood still attracted other sharks.
They leaped directly out of the water, their target the people running on the platform.
Of the four people pulling the fishing rod, two were dragged into the water because they reacted too slowly.
The screams echoed downstairs, and many people upstairs saw the scene through their windows and were so frightened that they shrank back into their rooms and dared not show their faces.
Some people even closed the windows in their rooms in an attempt to block out the screams.
But Shi Jinwei frowned. How could you possibly catch a shark while fishing normally?
Unless there was something wrong with the bait that person used. Thinking this, she prepared to turn around and go back to her room.
But when I turned my head, I found that there was someone standing on the balcony next to me, and it turned out to be that player.
The male player's attention was focused down below, and he didn't notice the commotion around him at all.
Upon seeing this, Shi Jinwei hurriedly returned to her room.
After three encounters, she felt that this man, like herself, was a lone wolf.
But she would never reveal her player identity before knowing the other party's character.
Thinking this, Shi Jinwei opened the door and went out.
I haven't been out for two days, and I've noticed that the atmosphere on the cruise ship is quite depressing.
The once bustling road was almost deserted, and the ship's crew had disappeared into the shadows.
Occasionally, you might see some tourists or crew members, but they all walk by with their heads down, looking very cautious.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard a child crying downstairs.
Looking down from the glass railing, I saw a man holding a child up with both hands.
There were three men next to him, two of whom were holding a man who had been beaten black and blue.
The other person was holding a woman who was crying and struggling, trying to snatch the crying child back.
"It's a blessing that our Boss Wang is looking at you. Don't refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences."
Seeing that the woman was struggling more and more, the man holding her kicked her in the back of the knee, causing her to fall to her knees.
The boss, Wang, merely glanced at it indifferently: "Go easy on me, don't ruin my face, or it won't be fun."
"Yes, yes, brother, don't worry." The man hurriedly nodded and bowed, while pressing the woman's head down with his hand, making her bow in the direction of Boss Wang.
This was an extremely humiliating act, and the man next to him shouted angrily upon seeing it.
However, having been beaten so badly, they naturally had no strength left.
No matter how much he struggled, he was still firmly pinned to the ground.
At this point, the child could no longer cry; his face was flushed, as if he had been holding it in.
The woman was pinned down, tears streaming down her face.
She refused to lower her head and stared intently at her child.
Upon noticing the child's unusual behavior, the crying grew even louder. The sounds echoed throughout the building, carrying an air of profound sorrow.
