Escape from Paradise (Part 2)
After enduring an hour of nameplate time and observing several groups of passengers coming and going, Xu Wei decided to give it a try.
They were the fifth group to board the ship, and there were two male players with them.
The younger guy standing behind her took the initiative to greet her: "Hello, beautiful lady!"
Xu Wei nodded politely: "Hello."
"I haven't been to the amusement park for a long time. I didn't expect there would be a dungeon of this type. It's really nice." He didn't have the vigilance of other players. He was enthusiastic and smiled brightly. "My name is Li Xia, the Li in the Hundred Family Surnames, the Xia in summer. What's your name, beautiful lady?"
"Xu Wei."
"Which comfort? The comfort?"
"Azure Wei."
"Hey, Blue Sky! Our names are both from nature, so it's a good match, right?" Li Xia was quite outgoing, and almost moved to the front while chatting, "How about we add each other as a bracelet friend when we get out?"
Lu Fanye reminded: "Ahem."
Li Xia reacted quickly, stepped back immediately, patted Lu Fanye on the shoulder, and said familiarly: "I almost forgot there is a handsome guy here, sorry for the disrespect, what is your name, my good brother?"
"Lu Fanye."
"Brother Lu, nice to meet you."
As he was talking, the old man at the ticket office walked slowly to the gate, pressed the switch, the safety door opened, and the tourists in the queue swarmed up.
Xu Wei was the first one and rushed forward to occupy the position.
She grabbed a seat near the stern, which would make it as easy as possible to react to the sledgehammer's attack, and the deck under her feet was small, so even if it collapsed unexpectedly she could quickly find a foothold to avoid falling.
Li Xia and his team also had a clear goal, which was to seize the bow of the ship.
The stern was narrow, with only three seats, two people sitting on each side. When someone wanted to sit over, Xu Wei simply lay down and occupied the seat, refusing to move.
"No manners!" the man spat and sat in the middle.
After everyone had arrived, she got up from her seat and looked around.
Good, the old man didn’t pay attention to what was going on here.
Xu Weicai didn't expect that there was an inhuman creature blocking this perfect position. When the time came, he would be in a hurry and might bite her when she wasn't paying attention without her noticing.
I sat down in my seat and lowered the seat bar. Although I had prepared myself mentally for a long time, my heartbeat still accelerated uncontrollably when the time came.
Lu Fanye grabbed the safety bar with one hand and held the edge of the boat with the other, looking straight ahead, his whole body stretched straight.
He was also a little nervous.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The hull shook, and the passengers trembled along with it. With the hum of the engine starting, the pirate ship began to sway slightly.
Xu Wei rubbed his hands on his clothes twice to wipe off the sweat, and secretly pulled the waist bag he brought with him out of his clothes.
Turning around to look at the old man again, he was very good, smoking calmly and without paying any attention to the players.
Lu Fanye calmly put his hand over and let her do what she wanted.
The pirate ship swayed higher and higher, at a rapid speed, shaking people's brains into a mess. Every time it reached the top, it almost flipped over. If it weren't for the safety bar that was firmly stuck, all the passengers would have fallen headfirst in a free fall.
Xu Wei's head was almost shaken to the point of dizziness. He was also a little afraid of heights, and he felt his chest rising and falling, with his heart pressing against his throat.
She clung to the safety bar tightly, wrapped her arms around it with great effort, and even pressed her toes against the backrest of the front seat.
No wonder she was so nervous, the time was almost up.
At first there were slight crunching sounds, as if something was gnawing on something hard. Within a few breaths, the gnawing sounds grew louder, spreading rapidly from the deepest part of the hull to the soles of the feet.
There was a rustling sound of something crawling about across the deck.
"ah!!"
The two people in the front row had their feet lifted off the ground and fell due to gravity, while their heads were stuck between the safety bar and the seat, half hanging in the air, and their necks were instantly broken by the fierce thrust of the boat.
Screams followed one after another, and the safety bar suddenly rose up, and all the unprepared people flew out, falling to pieces and splashing blood everywhere.
You know it's not solid.
Xu Wei's upper body was lifted up along with the safety bar, and he used the last bit of strength to stretch his legs through the horizontal bar and onto the front seat backrest, with his legs facing downward and his lower body firmly fixed between the safety bar and the seat.
"Crack!"
The deck beneath my feet finally caved in.
The back half of the back is completely suspended in the air, and can only be maintained by the strength of the arms. Fortunately, the legs do not need to exert any effort, so just be careful not to slip and be thrown out.
Xu Wei concentrated his attention and looked at the mast above his head.
There were slight noises by my ears, and the little creatures were crawling around over the broken deck.
There is no room for distraction at this time, as the collapse of the deck indicates that the pendulum is about to come.
Xu Wei looked at the tourists who were holding on to the safety bar as tenaciously as she was.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
The next second, a swarm of insects like a tide emerged from the bottom of the pirate ship, swarming towards the living people. Just as they were about to get close to their prey, they collectively paused in the air, their wings and feet stiffened, and as the ship shook violently, they leaped to the highest point and scattered over the ship like flowers scattered from heaven.
It's raining insects.
The crowds of tourists surrounding the pirate ship were attacked by the black swarm of insects and fled screaming and crying.
Xu Wei was still looking at the mast intently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It turns out that insects can also do radio gymnastics.
"Three, two, three, four. Five, six, seven, eight. Four, two, three, four..."
It was so nice not having to sing by yourself, and the slightly increased volume covered the entire ship. The poor man who was the leader had already fallen down because of forced attention, and the other few tourists who were still alive also fell down one after another because of raising their hands, leaving only four players.
The mast finally dropped, making the sound of mechanical gears.
Xu Wei took a deep breath and moved his lumbar spine slightly.
The sledgehammer stretched out, with a diameter as wide as three people. It was solid and heavy, and its edge was as sharp as a knife.
Unfortunately, the hammer is not a living thing and cannot hear music.
The wind died down, the ship accelerated, and swung towards the sledgehammer with a boatload of corpses.
Xu Wei loosened his hands and let his body fall backwards, with his legs sliding partially out.
The surface of the sledgehammer brushed past the tilted face and flew through the air.
The waist bag strap tied around her wrist suddenly tightened, suspending her upper body in mid-air with her lower body more than half exposed in the air. Her heels pressed against the edge of the backrest, and she was trembling slightly due to the force exerted on her whole body.
This posture is very demanding on balance and core strength. If you are not careful, your whole body will slip out from between the bars, with only your wrists holding your body half hanging in the air, becoming a sandbag that will be smashed by the pillar at the back.
Xu Wei couldn't hold on for long, which was why she changed her posture at the last moment. Lu Fanye next door changed his posture long before her.
At this moment, she looked up at the blue sky, and the hammer face kept brushing against the tip of her nose as it swung, cutting out a cold air flow.
So close.
Sadly, it’s coming to an end.
The smile on Xu Wei's lips grew wider and wider.
This was the first time she had used her own physical training to perform such a high-risk action, with a low margin for error, but she still did it without even using the follow-up plan.
Just a month ago, she was so exhausted that she had difficulty running.
Thanks to the official high-quality waist bag, it will not break even if you tie a person to it. It is a must-have weapon for killing and robbing, and the best choice for visiting the park.
When the pirate ship gradually came to a halt, the sledgehammer was retracted with a creaking sound.
Lu Fanye climbed onto the safety bar and silently looked down at Xu Wei who was still struggling.
She still looked at the blue sky, her legs trembling: "Help, pull me, I dare not move..."
*
They got off the pirate ship softly and were pulled over by the old man, who scolded them for disrupting the management of the amusement park and said he would report them.
Xu Wei had no choice but to open the park rules and ask him: "Is it the nameplate holding time now? Are we violating the nameplate rules?"
The old man ignored her and continued to curse, trying to drown her with his spit.
Xu Wei pointed at Article 5 with a good temper: "Did I hit you?"
The old man paused and continued to swear.
Xu Wei threw his waist bag to his feet, rolled up his sleeves with a sneer, "I see that you are old and should be tired of living. Anyway, I have completed my mission, so it doesn't matter if I am locked up in a small dark room..."
The shouting stopped abruptly.
The old man looked at her suspiciously with his beard, as if he was calculating her fighting ability.
Xu Wei pretended to punch him, and the old man was so scared that he retracted his head into his neck and jumped two steps to the side. He was about to speak timidly, but was frightened by Xu Wei's wave of his hand again and ran back to the ticket office with his head in his hands.
"Bang!" The door closed tightly, and the old man looked out through the window in fear.
Xu Wei stared at him, and he hid his head again.
He is quite timid and doesn't seem to be very strong, but I wonder if it's just him or the whole garden is like this?
Article 5 of the rules explicitly prohibits beating staff members. Could it be that in this copy, players' combat power is generally higher than that of NPCs?
I found a public seat to take a break and ran into Li Xia and his friends again.
He looked pale, his left hand was cut off, and even after using a makeshift bandage to bandage it was still bleeding, but he looked relieved.
Seeing the two of them, her face was as bright as a flower: "Thank you, thank you, it's so good to be alive."
Xu Wei stood in awe.
This can no longer be described as optimistic.
He walked over, blood still dripping from his arm, and wanted to shake hands with Xu Wei: "It was your skill that dispersed the insect tide, right? That's amazing. You two helped us a lot. Thank you."
Xu Wei took two steps back: "Why don't you guess it's his skill?"
Li Xia stopped where she was and smiled mysteriously: "Because I'm smart."
The guess is so certain and direct, there must be something fishy.
When releasing the skill just now, Xu Wei neither sang nor made any unnecessary movements, but only looked up at the operator. If Li Xia had come to the conclusion based on observation alone, then his own strength should be quite terrifying - after all, this was when the deck was empty and he was dodging hammer attacks and insect bites, and he had to observe and draw conclusions based on the changes in the other party's eyes in an instant.
If he could really do this, he would not have broken his arm for no reason. It doesn't make sense to do it on purpose, there are still several rounds of games to come, and breaking a hand is neither worth it nor inconsistent with the careful observation ability shown above.
Xu Wei believed that Li Xia's skills or special items helped him eliminate Lu Fanye.
He kept getting closer to her, maybe he needed contact to trigger it.
Xu Weiming obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, but Lu Fanye reminded him at the right time: "The task list has been updated."
Task List
1. Team Challenge Mission: Happy Pirate Ship (all ages, adventure)√
2. Purchase task: Lelehuohuo large cup of blood ice cream
3. Errands: Grandpa Doll’s Favorite Drink
"Well, let's finish the mission first! See you later," she hurriedly pulled Lu Fanye out, looking anxious, but actually muttering softly, "He looks sunny and positive, but who knows what kind of bad guy he is behind the scenes..."
Li Xia stayed where she was: "..."
Sister, please speak a little more quietly. I’m not deaf.
After getting away from the two men, Xu Wei began to research the new task: "Happy Life Large Cup of Blood Ice Cream... It sounds a bit similar to ice cream. Should we find a beverage truck?"
Lu Fanye pointed to Task 3: "It should be linked to Task 2."
Xu Wei: "Find the beverage cart first? Then find the old man?"
"This is the best," Lu Fanye looked at the Ferris wheel clock in the distance, the hands of which were pointing to eleven o'clock, "but I always feel like something is missing..."
