Chapter 222 Are you players?
When the hotel walls collapsed due to the flood, people inside were easily injured by the fallen walls and steel bars.
Fu Ling watched the flood and tsunami coming, but was powerless to do anything.
At that moment, she felt the insignificance of human beings in the face of the absolute power of nature.
The hotel was washed away, and their last fortress for survival was instantly destroyed by the tsunami.
At the critical moment, she felt a sticky silk thread tied around her waist, and then a huge force dragged her to a safe area.
The other players were trapped in the barrier before they even had time to react.
Zhen Jinli used spider silk to connect all the players around him, then opened the protective barrier and trapped everyone in it.
She didn't have time to take out the pirate ship, so she could only secure all the players to her side and protect them to prevent anyone from being washed away by the flood.
The players were all shocked.
How on earth did that person manage to drag all the players to the safe area in such a short time?
In this regard, Zhen Jinli said that time stopping is a very practical skill.
After the first wave of the tsunami passed, Zhen Jinli swam to the surface of the sea with dozens of other players.
At this moment, all they could see was a vast ocean.
***
Because they received the news in advance, the players who had stocked up on swimming rings or wooden boards in the space early in the morning successfully floated up from the sea.
Zhen Jinli took out the pirate ship from the space, and then threw all the more than 30 players she had captured onto it with spider silk.
Then she used the spider silk to throw herself up.
At that moment, Zhen Jinli had a sense of déjà vu as a real-life cosplayer of Spider-Man.
Seeing that everyone was soaked by the sea water, Zhen Jinli raised his hand and waved it, and all the sea water on everyone's body was drained away, and their clothes became dry instantly.
Fu Ling was completely stunned.
Isn’t her ability to control superpowers too strong?
Although she is also a water-based ability player, she can only use water to attack and defend. For her, extracting all the seawater from everyone's clothes so delicately is simply a fantasy.
Fu Ling looked at Zhen Jinli in disbelief, with incomparable shock and admiration in her eyes.
Just how strong is her mental strength?
Zhen Jinli's ability and mental strength were limited. After making sure everyone was safe, she sat down on the pirate ship feeling somewhat exhausted.
"It's only the fourth morning of the game. This ship won't last two days at sea."
Zhen Jinli looked at the other players with tired eyes and advised, "Are you really not considering leaving the game now?"
Although the other players were very grateful to Zhen Jinli for saving them, it was still difficult for them to give up on completing the game now.
It was already the morning of the fourth day of the game, and they only had less than two days left to complete the game.
Everyone was silent, no one wanted to leave the game now.
There is a term in economics called sunk cost.
Refers to time, energy, or money that has been expended and cannot be recovered.
Because they have invested too much time in the game, the later it gets, the more difficult it will be for players to give up the energy and resources they have previously invested in the game.
At the beginning of the game, at least in the first half, the disasters and problems encountered were not serious enough to make players decide to quit the game immediately.
Then, as time goes on, it will become more difficult to get them to give up the upcoming rewards and quit the game.
It is precisely because Zhen Jinli is well aware of the weaknesses of human nature that she cannot ignore these players.
In fact, everyone may have their psychological weaknesses exploited by games. They are just ordinary people.
As the saying goes, one won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River, and one won't cry until he sees the coffin.
Zhen Jinli couldn't really wait for these players to see the coffin, otherwise they would die.
She knew more about the game than others, and thus had an extra mission.
She will not look down on those players who are trying hard to break into the survival game, nor will she despise those players who continue to stay in the game to realize their own desires.
Because they don't know what will happen next in the game, their understanding of the game is not equal to Zhen Jinli's.
Zhen Jinli kept asking other players whether they wanted to quit the game, which was also her effort to protect more players.
She would not let these uninformed players die in the game, because this was her last effort for the human players since she could not tell others the truth about the game.
This is why, even if other players are unwilling to quit the game easily, Zhen Jinli can only stay with them and protect these players until the last moment.
Because she was also waiting for the final moment of the game.
She was also praying that the players in the same game with her would be lucky enough to survive until the last moment of the game termination and be teleported out of the game.
Seeing that no one was willing to leave now, Zhen Jinli didn't force them. She sat quietly aside to rest and ate something to regain her strength.
Not long after, they heard someone calling for help.
"Help! Help me!"
"Please, let me get on the boat!"
Zhen Jinli glanced at the players on the pirate ship and explained solemnly, "We can only rescue players. The pirate ship has limited seats."
There are too many they can’t save.
All the players knew this very well, and they all tacitly confirmed with the people swimming towards them from all directions.
"Are you players?"
Those resident NPCs cannot hear the game keywords, such as the word "player".
So, they quickly selected a few players and pulled them up.
When the remaining NPCs saw that the people on the boat had no intention of rescuing them, despair flashed in their eyes.
In the end, they could only hold on to buoys such as plastic barrels around them, leave the vicinity of the pirate ship, and swim towards the direction where they might find the shore.
Next, Zhen Jinli signaled the other players to transform the collected wooden boards, using props such as knives to cut the boards into the shape of wooden paddles to make it easier for them to row the boat.
At noon, when everyone was having lunch, several loud rumbling thunders suddenly came from the gloomy sky.
Zhen Jinli looked up at the sky, but did not see any natural phenomena such as lightning.
However, thunder still rumbled in the dark sky.
There was thunder but no lightning, either the lightning was somewhere they couldn't see, or the sound might indicate something else had happened.
All kinds of strange phenomena may occur in the game copy, so everyone quickly finished their meal and cheered up to prepare for the next changes.
Crash——
