Chapter 125
If volcanic eruptions still give them time to prepare and not be caught off guard when the disaster occurs, then tsunamis are natural disasters that are extremely difficult to predict and cannot be avoided even if predicted.
This is not Continent A. There is no land for them to hide on. It can be said that they have no power to resist on the sea. Once they are caught up by the tsunami, they will be swallowed up instantly.
Seeing the raging tsunami rushing towards them, Chi Yunying felt cold all over. She stiffly pulled up her husband and son's hands and held the whole family tightly in her palms.
If death is inevitable, she hopes to be with her beloved family before she dies.
Mao Qingquan understood her thoughts very well. He held her hand back in a tacit understanding, without saying a word, but it was enough to prove everything.
Brother Chen was watching this scene from the side, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart.
He escaped fire and volcanic eruptions, as well as hunger, thirst and the island of man-eating snakes. He thought he was the chosen one, blessed with luck, and had survived so many disasters until now, but in the end he had to die here.
He forced a bitter smile on his face. Fortunately, his brother Chen had no relatives by his side, otherwise he would not be able to face the dead end calmly like he is now.
Song Yue, who was at the helm, was completely unaware of the despair rising in the hearts of several people.
All her attention was focused on driving.
No matter how fast the ship is, it cannot outrun the tsunami.
It was only a matter of time before the huge waves hit them.
What Song Yue had to do was to activate the protective gear the moment the tsunami hit them. This would save the time of using the gear and protect everyone's safety.
The surging sea finally caught up with them.
The water curtain that was enough to destroy the heaven and earth was like an abyss, ready to swallow them up!
Everyone on the boat was in despair, and dead silence was their last dignity.
Boom! Boom!
It seemed as if countless things were whizzing past their ears, and they were like a grain of millet, being swept into the surging waves.
However, the expected dizziness, choking and suffocation did not occur.
They opened their eyes in fear and found themselves still sitting in the boat!
What's going on?! Didn't the tsunami already cover their heads?
Why are their clothes and hair still dry? Not even a drop of rain fell on them!
Their eyes were filled with great surprise. When they looked carefully, they found that there seemed to be something glowing faintly outside the entire ship.
It was that glowing object that blocked all the tsunamis.
And their ship, protected by something strange, was sailing steadily through the tsunami!
This is simply a miracle!
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell on Song Yue who was at the helm.
Song Yue noticed several fiery gazes behind him, fixed the rudder, turned and walked towards them.
At this point, there was no point in hiding it, so I just confessed.
"The [Protective Shield] you see is a special item that can protect the ship from any damage."
Protective shield? Props?
What's going on?
Everyone was confused after hearing this and thought for a while before they realized that this thing was a good thing and could save their lives!
"...Yuan, Yuanzhou, can this protect us forever?"
Mao Xingxiu knew that there were some questions he shouldn't ask, but he couldn't resist the might of the tsunami. He was worried that the protective shield Song Yuanzhou mentioned might have cracks or some other problems, and that he would be overjoyed and then fall into despair.
Song Yue looked at him and said truthfully, "It can't last forever. The item has a time limit and can only last for 72 hours."
This is also why she did not use props immediately when escaping from Lime Island.
The props are too precious and time is limited, so she won't take them out easily unless she has the confidence.
Mao Xingxiu and his companions suddenly understood.
No wonder you’re only using the props now, it turns out you only have 72 hours.
Mao Qingquan thought for a moment and quickly reminded, "It's still a long way from Snake Island to Continent A. You must use this item sparingly."
Song Yue nodded: "Yes. I will remove the protective shield after the tsunami passes."
If you break it down into small pieces and use it, it will last for a while.
The surging sea water was rushing overhead. They were now in the center of the storm, constantly being beaten by the water.
Fortunately, the protective cover was extremely strong and could resist damage. Even if it was dark outside and a whirlpool was raging, their ship remained motionless and was astonishingly safe.
After more than an hour, the tsunami finally left.
The rushing water receded and the sky became bright again.
Song Yue removed the protective shield.
Everyone could see that the moment the props were taken down, the layer of light around the boat disappeared.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and was no longer covered with dark clouds.
The sunlight shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle.
They had been running around since morning until now without a moment's rest. Now, looking at the peaceful sea, they couldn't help but relax and gradually fell asleep.
Song Yue also picked a seat and sat down, ready to take a rest.
Suddenly, she saw something floating on the sea.
Walk over and take a closer look.
It's those snake people.
Most of them died with their eyes open, staring straight at the sky, with a long snake tail half floating on the water. No matter how many times you look at it, you will feel that they can no longer be considered human beings as they look like this.
A piece of paper suddenly fell from the sky and landed right at Song Yue's feet.
She picked it up and found that the paper was dry and the handwriting on it was extremely clear. It was obviously not blown up from the sea.
After a careful look, I found that it was a record about Snake Island Village.
[There were many snakes on the island, and the villagers were so annoyed that they switched their diet from fish to snake meat.]
[…Snake meat can be eaten by soaking, stir-frying, steaming or boiling.]
[…A strange baby, half human, half snake, appeared in the village, frightening a woman who had just given birth. The husband, believing the woman to be possessed by evil spirits, ordered them to be buried at sea along with the baby.]
[…Newborn babies began to resemble snakes, and the village panicked and organized a ritual of worship.]
[…The villagers’ worship was fruitless. No normal babies were left in the village. All newborns were half human, half snake, and had no choice but to accept the curse.]
[The outside world calls us Snake People.]
[We, the Snake People, feed on raw meat, livestock being second best, and human flesh being the best.]
[Waiting for the Outer Islanders has become our greatest daily hope as Snake People.]
…
The following part records the process of sharing food with people from other islands, including those from Continent A.
The recorder even thoughtfully wrote down their names. Song Yue looked through them row by row, and his eyes suddenly stopped at the last few words.
"088, are you there?"
Since taking over 099's position, 088 rarely communicated with her, and Song Yue only called him out when there was something important.
088 Hearing the voice: [Yes, host, please speak]
"Is this her name?" Song Yue asked, pointing to the last word.
The copy was so large that it was entirely possible that someone with the same name and surname would appear. Song Yue was not sure if the person on the list was the one she knew.
[Wait a moment, I'll check.]
A few minutes later, Song Yue heard the reply.
[Replying to the host, it's the girl that appeared in your mind]
Qiao Shanshan, the C-rank dungeon tasker, unfortunately, failed to complete the task.
Song Yue was surprised for a moment, she didn't expect it was really her.
Qiao Shanshan, the younger sister of the Qiao family siblings who once lived downstairs from her house, revealed in her previous life that she had a space, which led to her and her parents being ambushed by others.
In this life, the tragedy did not happen because of Song Yue's vigilance.
But Qiao Shanshan herself suffered from depression and committed suicide by hanging herself in the bedroom. Her brother Qiao Yiyuan followed suit and hanged himself in the living room. He was discovered by the neighbors living in the opposite building, who called the police.
This incident caused a lot of buzz in the community at the time, and it was really sad.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Shanshan was noticed by other systems, selected as a tasker, and appeared in the same copy world with her.
Thinking that this world is made up of many islands, Song Yue wondered, "Are there missionaries on other islands as well?"
088: [Yes]
Song Yue: "Is there Aloyna?"
When mentioning the tasker, the first person Song Yue thought of was the other party.
088: [Return to host, no]
That’s good, Song Yue felt relieved.
The paper recording Luo Shanshan's death was thrown into the sea by her.
The magical thing is that when the paper comes into contact with water, it immediately melts, and everything about Snake Island disappears from the map and history.
With the [Protective Shield] item, the following sea voyage will be extra safe.
Along the way, Song Yue also saw other ships. They were sailing in the same direction as her, all heading to Continent A.
In connection with what 088 said, Song Yue understood that it was another tasker who was doing the task.
The taskers also saw through her identity, and when they passed by Song Yue's boat, they took a few more glances at it.
At first, Song Yue was worried that they might cause trouble for her, so she was a little cautious. Later, she found that they were just watching and had no intention of taking action. Finally, she let go of her worries and sailed peacefully.
What Song Yue didn't know was that the reason those taskers didn't attack her was not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare.
Before they took action, they were all warned by the bound system not to provoke the people on that ship.
[Host, that guy was the first in the last promotion dungeon, don't mess with him]
[Host, the opponent is a big shot, and his evaluation in every dungeon is very high. I suggest that the host withdraw his thoughts and take a detour.]
[Host, don't be impulsive. Do your task well and don't get into conflict with the other party.]
【Host……】
【Host……】
【Host……】
…
Every tasker who tried to rob Song Yue was suppressed by the system.
It’s not that these systems are unwilling to help their own people, but that Song Yue, as a tasker who can break into the A-level copy, is so powerful that ordinary taskers cannot compare to him.
You said they were robbing newcomers or C-level dungeon taskers, and they could still cheer them on from behind, but the other party was an A-level person, and their experience and strength far exceeded the taskers they were bound to.
Forget it, forget it. The most important thing is to know your own limitations. If you don’t have the skills, don’t take on this job, so as to avoid the death of the person you have trained with great difficulty.
At that time, the worst case scenario is that you will be locked up in a small dark room, and the worst case scenario is that you will be directly destroyed by the main system.
They finally have the opportunity to come into contact with the human world, and they really don’t want to be deprived of it at all!
After receiving such a warning, the taskers retracted their eagerness and quietly avoided this legendary boss.
088 watched the whole process of how his colleagues persuaded the tasker to let go, with a dark light in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, no matter in the past or now, she will always be that intimidating existence.
Although in a different way.
But he knew that the light in her never faded.
The author has something to say:
088 is not the male lead, 099 is~
