Copy 4 21
The blue sky gradually darkened, and the thick dark clouds were like a black cloth covering the eyes of the god of death. The water columns moved disorderly, like a wanton snake, closing in on the cruise ship step by step.
Inside the gaseous vortex, the wind speed was no less than two hundred kilometers per hour. Su Wanxing had just realized that he had encountered a waterspout when a huge column of water formed a smoky wall of air within his sight.
The power of a waterspout is no less than that of a tornado originating from land. Su Wanxing could only think of the most effective way to avoid it, which was to hide in the basement, just like escaping from a tornado. However, on the sea full of unknowns, where could there be a place for humans to hide?
"Hurry up! Get into the cabin!"
"Don't look at it, saving your life is more important!"
"Follow me, this way!"
Three powerful and clear voices came from the same person. Su Wanxing could hear them clearly from the third deck. The man who led the evacuation was a burly man who seemed to have strong coordination skills.
But how can the speed of human movement be compared with natural disasters?
The waterspout flashed to the bow almost in the blink of an eye. The hull suddenly shook violently. Su Wanxing hurriedly grabbed the door frame and was splashed in the face with dense raindrops.
[Lucky goose~We meet again! The blessing from the sea god is late but it arrives! ]
[Trigger the blessing of the sea god, luck value +1%]
[Current luck value: 6%]
When Su Wanxing wiped his face, the tall spiral gas tornado like a water wall suddenly dispersed, and the sparks were instantly extinguished as if an electric drill was turned off, and the speed without power turned into mist and disappeared.
The ship slowly calmed down, and Su Wanxing shook off his water-soaked slippers. If one really had to use a far-fetched scientific explanation, it would be that the strong convection from behind the ship helped the turbulent bow to split the waterspout.
But she still silently thanked the sea god three times.
The brief calm was fleeting, and the sea surface on the right side of the cruise ship sank again. It was unknown what force was involved, but a winding column of water suddenly surged out of the whirlpool on the sunken sea surface.
Compared with the water tornado just now, this time the gas vortex seemed to have created a narrow channel like flowing water.
To put it more vividly, it is like a transparent straw inserted into the sky, except that the shape of the straw is not straight, and the flowing "drink" goes upwards along the transparent straw.
The water flow never stopped until it connected with the straw at the horizon. The humans who were watching the formation of the waterspout were like the toppings floating in the drink. They didn’t know when they would be sucked away or discarded. Everything in the cup could never understand the world outside the cup.
"The disaster is not over yet! Please don't linger!"
"Old man, the brakes on the wheelchair are already on. I'll push you inside to take shelter!"
"Thank you for your cooperation. Survival is more important than curiosity, isn't it?"
There were three more resounding urgings, and Su Wanxing was inevitably left with a deep impression of the man.
Su Wanxing walked quickly into the house, his eyes closely following the new waterspout.
The "creature" hiding behind the gloomy clouds and sucking water seemed unsatisfied. It randomly turned the transparent straw, and the water column danced on the sea surface in an instant, and soon moved away from the cruise ship.
The water column was stirred up and filled with anger, and rushed towards the direction of the sky city.
Over there stood a towering city in the sky. Su Wanxing had never seen a map, so he couldn't recognize which area of the sky city it was. Anyway, the moment the twisted waterspout touched it.
The city in the sky with an iron will fell down like a crispy chocolate shell with a few crunches. The broken walls and ruins were driven by the rapidly rising wind speed, swept into the water column, and the remaining limbs fell into the deep sea.
The loud noises are like alarm bells, constantly striking at people's hearts.
Su Wanxing's heart tightened, and he vaguely remembered the acid rain that lasted for more than a month. It turned out that it had given ignorant humans a warning early on. But the arrogant humans did not take it seriously and completely ignored the corrosiveness of acid rain on metal shells.
Acid rain once or twice will not cause much damage, but long-term acid rain is like a chronic poison, which gradually corrodes the homes on which humans depend for survival and which they think are safe.
One thing leads to another, and the alarm bell of fate is always ringing, but humans just don't care.
Therefore, disasters can easily crush humanity in any way.
Su Wanxing unconsciously smoothed his chest. The amulet that he had always worn on his heart had disappeared after he was assassinated. It turned out that the old lady had already calculated the timing, and it turned out that it had been destined in the dark.
"The water tornado is heading towards the Sky City, but that doesn't mean the disaster is gone!"
"The wounded are waiting for treatment here. Please don't mind the iron fragments that fell on the deck. We will deal with them in time!"
"Today's breakfast will be distributed in three minutes. Everyone can line up to get their meals first."
On the first deck, the man was still arranging matters in an orderly manner. Su Wanxing took a last look at the waterspout that was like a thin line, which meant that the crisis was far away, and then closed the door.
Coming to the table, Su Wanxing brought out a bowl of crystal shrimp dumplings and carefully opened the odor isolation cover.
The crystal clear dumpling skin is faintly pink. Take a gentle bite and the delicious juice bursts between your lips and teeth. The whole shrimp meat is full of elasticity.
Since experiencing death firsthand, Su Wanxing has cherished the moments with food even more. Enjoying food is undoubtedly the most precious time in the ordeal.
After eating a bowl of shrimp dumplings, Su Wanxing leaned back on the sofa contentedly. While enjoying the food, she also thought a lot.
"Zhou Tian, thank you." She was grateful for Zhou Tian's existence and grateful for Zhou Tian's help, so she had to express her gratitude in person.
[This seems like what a strong system should do, but I also want to say you're welcome.]
It seemed that the two words were full of uncertainty. Su Wanxing had no intention of exposing Zhou Tian. Being able to reverse time itself was a mystery.
"Will this embarrass you?"
[Not at all.]
Su Wanxing raised the corners of her lips, but soon lowered them again. "I hope that one day I can hear you tell me your story in person. It must be a legendary and fairy-tale story."
Zhou Tian laughed softly.
[On the contrary, you are the one who has a legendary life. My story is just ordinary.]
Su Wanxing was actually more worried, "You brought me back to life, will the people behind the game really not find out?"
[Um...I'm not going to lie, I don't know.]
Su Wanxing said frankly: "I hate being cheated the most."
[I will do my best to hide until you pass the level.]
Su Wanxing nodded and secretly made up her mind that from now on, her goal would no longer be to survive vaguely, but to pass the level.
Huh? Su Wanxing inadvertently scanned the virtual warehouse and suddenly found a dagger inside, which looked like the weapon that stabbed her heart.
She clicked on the item description with her eyes.
[Blood Blade: A cheating weapon that can locate and kill the target. When the target is within the killing range, no matter how the target moves, it can be killed in one shot. Cooling time: 60S.]
Su Wanxing suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart. It turned out that the reason why Xiaolong's attack speed was so fast and difficult to avoid was because he had a seemingly perfect dagger!
No wonder he kept delaying time when he made the second kill, just to wait for his skill to cool down!
But why did the dagger appear in her virtual warehouse? Was it because she was the last player to touch the dagger?
Su Wanxing was puzzled when the communicator received a message at the right time.
Well, life is about constantly looking forward, you won’t get the answer if you look back.
She clicked on the dial and saw the formula for treating radiation sickness sent by Pei Wei.
Now that they have escaped from the City of Bliss, they are isolated and helpless, and can only rely on informants for drug supplies.
Sister Weiwei said that there is nothing rare in the medicine formula, and it is not difficult to make as long as all the medicinal materials are collected.
Fortunately, Tong Ming, Director Ouyang Lin and Professor Moore all chose to board the ship. The formula was handed over to them, and I believe that the people on the ship can also receive effective treatment.
The water source can be maintained with the price of 50Q per year in the game mall. After all, it only counts the days, not the number of people. Before the game, no one would have thought that Su Wanxing would build a cruise ship-type shelter to feed a hundred people.
Electricity is currently generated by crystals, but because there are too many people, originally one crystal could sustain one person's electricity consumption for seven days, but now it can only sustain less than a day. It is consumed too quickly.
Moreover, crystals are very scarce in the game. Only by clearing the game can you get crystals in varying amounts distributed according to your ranking. Therefore, it is not advisable to let players contribute crystals to feed everyone. This is as shameless as exploiting a minority to supply the majority.
However, Su Wanxing remembered that he had stockpiled countless amounts of heavy oil in the previous copy. Because he arrived at the destination on time, the stored heavy oil was not used, which was just right to solve the power problem in this copy.
However, using heavy oil to generate electricity means giving up clean energy, and environmental pollution is inevitable. Su Wanxing once again lamented the contradictions in the world. Survival is inseparable from development, development will inevitably produce pollution, pollution will cause disasters, and disasters will eventually bite back at humanity.
It's a cycle, but there's no solution.
Su Wanxing looked at the important message sent by Pei Wei again, frowned and sighed heavily.
…
Laboratory No. 1.
Pei Wei stood in front of the bulletin board, her hands in her pockets already clenched into fists.
"I didn't expect a monster like you could be a player." Zhu Jiu's gentle face revealed endless contempt.
Pei Wei turned and looked at him.
Zhu Jiu felt uncomfortable being stared at, and used his usual incendiary words to say: "Look, without Captain Liu, you can only rely on Doctor Jiang, but so what? Even if you look down on me, don't you still have to follow medical ethics and take good care of me?"
Pei Wei said calmly, "I never said I was a doctor."
Zhu Jiu was puzzled and looked at someone as if he was crazy.
Pei Wei was terrifyingly calm, "So there's no need for me to save you."
Zhu Jiu was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter, which contained sarcasm, "This is so funny, I am a player, I am destined not to die! Long live the players!"
Pei Wei ignored him and turned her gaze away, continuing to silently look at the latest content on the bulletin board.
"Bah! The monster among the players will go to hell sooner or later." Zhu Jiu cursed mercilessly, but his arms were suddenly held.
He looked around anxiously and found two armed men coming from behind him. One on the left and one on the right grabbed his hands tightly. "What? What are you doing? What are you doing?!"
The armed personnel near the bulletin board kindly pointed to the content of the announcement, and Zhu Jiu then opened his eyes wide and read every word.
It contained the contents of the latest federal meeting, and the various decisions made were made public. The most eye-catching sentence was:
All non-players will be burned to death at midnight tonight!
Non-player!!!
Zhu Jiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted guiltily: "I am a player! I am a player! I really am a player!"
The two armed men looked at each other, shook their heads in disgust, and carried Zhu Jiu away without any explanation.
Zhu Jiu struggled desperately, "Let me go! What are you doing! How can you conclude that I am not a player!"
One of the officers shouted impatiently, "Because you were brought here by Captain Liu, we turned a blind eye and let you live until now. You should be grateful and obey our orders instead of angering us and being the first one to be killed by us!"
Zhu Jiu instantly became a dud, his legs slumped to the ground like water. He couldn't believe that in the end, the person who needed support was him, not the monster in front of him.
monster……
Zhu Jiu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly reached out and grabbed Pei Wei's white coat, and kowtowed fiercely, "I'm sorry, Doctor Pei, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I just want to live, please help me! Please!"
Loud kowtows echoed throughout the empty corridor. The two officers looked at Dr. Pei, whose white coat was being grabbed. They didn't know whether to leave or not.
Zhu Jiu begged bitterly, "Doctor Pei, I'm sorry, please forgive my shortsightedness. You are a magnanimous person, I shouldn't look down on you. The scar on your face should be a sacred glory. I, I, I deserve it. I, I, I really know I am wrong. Please forgive me, save me!" As he spoke, he slapped himself several times with both hands.
Pei Wei took off her white coat indifferently. Zhu Jiu missed his chance and fell heavily to the ground, grabbing the white coat's hands tightly. Seeing this, the armed men immediately dragged him away from the empty corridor.
Until Zhu Jiu's figure disappeared, his wailing cries of "I'm sorry" still lingered in the corridor for a long time.
Pei Wei didn't know how long she lingered in front of the bulletin board. A few minutes after she sent the message to Wanxing, the glass panel of the bulletin board suddenly reflected a blazing fire.
Pei Wei could see the reflection of her cheek on the reflective glass, and she couldn't help but touch the ugly fish scales.
Then, she put down her hand dejectedly and turned to look outside the glass wall of Laboratory No. 1.
The dark sea was lit up by the flames. I wonder how many restless souls were burned by the fire, and I don’t know how cold-hearted the people who made such a decision were.
Pei Wei lowered her head and left.
The desolate fire burned all night long.
