"The past is the past, the present is the present. Maybe this really is a safe zone?"
"Yes, yes, besides, all the safe zones we've passed through before were truly safe zones, very safe indeed!"
"Whatever you say, I can't be bothered to argue with you!"
"......"
Immediately afterwards, the survivor who went out to sea posted a picture of the ocean in the chat channel: "You don't know how wide the sea is until you swim, and you don't know how vast the sky is until you fly. I don't want to be like you, a caged bird or a frog in a well, and have my fate in someone else's hands!"
"Heh, you're making yourself sound so great. Well, you'd better work hard, or you might end up dying at sea..."
Some people dismissively mocked.
"......"
The chat channel was constantly flashing with messages, a mix of various opinions and comments.
Suddenly, a private chat notification sounded.
Ye Li closed the chat channel and opened the private chat interface.
It was a message from Liu Yiyan and Zhao Lu: "We've set off too, where are you?"
Ye Li replied, "We've already set off. Are you two together?"
Liu Yiyan said, "Yes, we were together the moment we opened our eyes, and then we left the city together. Why didn't you wait for us? You just left like that?"
Ye Li laughed and said, "With your current strength, you don't need my protection anymore. Besides, my car has intelligent driving capabilities, and you can't keep up with it anyway. I'll go ahead and wait for you there."
Upon seeing Ye Li's reply, Zhao Lu couldn't help but snort and mutter, "Selfish!"
Ye Li chuckled and sent a message asking, "Have you changed the Eternal Pointer yet?"
Liu Yiyan said, "Of course I'll exchange it! It's only 10 gold coins, not very expensive!"
Ye Li breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Liu Yiyan's reply, and then sent a message reminding her: "After you go into the sea, throw a gold coin into the sea first, and then throw one into the sea every morning at eight o'clock!"
"Why?" Zhao Lu asked curiously.
Ye Li had no choice but to explain the legend that the old man had told him to the two of them again.
Finally, he earnestly reminded everyone: "It's better to believe in something than nothing. Just consider it as following local customs and hoping for good luck."
The two replied, "Okay, got it!"
Ye Li also traded breakfast to the two of them.
It was almost noon, and the sun hung high in the sky, like a giant fireball.
The sunlight shone directly onto the sea, creating dazzling patches of light.
The water sparkles and is breathtakingly beautiful.
However, apart from the seawater being a bit darker than usual, Ye Li didn't notice anything special about this ocean.
Ye Li lit a Concentration Cigarette and re-released the chat channel.
They watched with great interest as the survivors chatted and gossiped inside.
"Hey, have you heard? This sea is incredibly dangerous, and there are many terrifying legends surrounding it..."
The first message that caught Ye Li's eye immediately drew his attention.
"What terrifying legend?" someone asked curiously.
"Legend has it that there is a sea monster in this sea area that often jumps onto the decks of sailors at night to hunt them down. The soldiers in the city have organized several sea raids, but each time they went to look for it, they could not find it."
"Hehehe, you yourself said it's just a legend, just listen to it and forget about it."
"It's not just this, there's something else. I heard that sea demons live in this sea, and everyone who wants to go out to sea has to throw a gold coin into the sea every morning at eight o'clock. I think it's called a tithe. Otherwise, once you go into the sea, you can forget about coming back."
"Hiss~"
"Is it really that strange?"
"Hey, don't you dare disbelieve this kind of thing. What's this sea called? The Sea of Death. Do you really think a place associated with death can be a good place?"
"Oh dear, thank you for reminding me, brother! Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known about this. Let's quickly throw a gold coin into the sea!"
"......"
As more and more survivors complete their selection.
