Chapter 26 Distress at Sea 1



According to the experience of the first two rounds of the game, the system always gives players some time to restock their supplies when they first enter the game. But when they enter the third dungeon, they only have gold and jewelry, but nowhere to buy daily necessities.

Su Han had a lot of inventory in his portable warehouse, so he was in a stable mood. Some players who didn't have a portable warehouse or didn't have much inventory probably couldn't stop feeling anxious at this moment.

Therefore, the one with anxiety on his face must be the player.

At 9:00 a.m., the system issued a notification, "The surrounding magnetic field is abnormal, the compass is invalid, and the cruise ship is lost."

Su Han reacted instantly. Large cruise ships would stop at the shore every once in a while to resupply. If the cruise ship lost its way, it would never reach the shore and get supplies.

The food on the cruise ship was gradually eaten up, and the fresh water was exhausted. The despair of approaching death step by step was enough to make everyone collapse.

Even worse, there are 800 players and 200 NPCs in the dungeon. The players know this is a game and will never sit still and wait for death. Once they are short of food and water, they will immediately "find a way". At that time, the situation will soon fall into chaos.

Thinking of this, Su Han felt helpless. She only wanted to play single player, but there were always people trying to drag her into playing online.

At this time, a broadcast sounded on the cruise ship, "An emergency notice is now being issued. The surrounding magnetic field is abnormal and the cruise ship has difficulty moving. We are contacting the command center, please be patient. In addition, the dining hours of the 24-hour buffet restaurant have been changed to 10:30-12:30 and 17:30-19:30. Please tell each other."

"Repeat, an urgent notice is now being issued..."

"How long can the ship's inventory last to feed 1,000 people?" Su Han shook his head and sighed, realizing that the dungeon was getting more and more difficult. The third round of the game was like a chaotic rhythm as soon as it entered the dungeon.

There is a water dispenser in the buffet restaurant, and several people are queuing up to get water.

Su Han had plenty of supplies and was too lazy to fight with others for water, so he went back to the house to rest after eating the barbecue.

In room 106, with the doors and windows closed, three adult men gathered together to plot something big.

One of them asked first, "Wei Zhong, how is the plan going?"

"I have put poison in all the bottled drinking water on the ship. Anyone who drinks the mineral water will be poisoned within three hours or ten hours at most." The man named Wei Zhong said indifferently.

"Are you sure the poison will still be effective after being diluted?" the person asking the question expressed doubt.

Wei Zhong turned his head away, refusing to answer this stupid question.

The third person, Gu Siyuan, chuckled, "Don't worry, Ding Yikai, I've already confirmed it with him."

"Acacia (after dilution): highly toxic. Drinking 50ml of mineral water will cause burning sensation in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. Drinking 100ml of mineral water will cause abdominal cramps, coma, circulatory failure, retinal hemorrhage and other symptoms. Drinking more than 200ml will immediately fall into a coma and die automatically after 3 hours."

"What's even better is that only the person who poisoned the bottle can see the above information. If someone else, like me, checks the bottled drinking water, I will only see the words 'Bottled mineral water: 20L'."

Ding Yikai finally felt relieved. He couldn't help but sigh, "This precious poison is so powerful! One bottle of poison can kill a whole ship of people!"

"It's not that easy." Wei Zhong poured cold water on me mercilessly, "There are 1,000 people on the ship, it's impossible for everyone to have drunk the bottled drinking water on the ship."

Ding Yikai smiled and said, "But most people will drink it."

Gu Siyuan continued with a smile, "So, we need to do some cleanup work."

Wei Zhong's face was cold as he whispered, "NPCs are always so stupid. They naively thought that as long as they could survive these two days, someone would come to rescue them. Unfortunately, the rescuers will never come."

"The supplies on board are limited, and there is absolutely no way to keep everyone alive. But if only a few people are left, the problem will be much simpler."

"Even if we can't wipe out the other 997 people, we must try to reduce the number of competitors as much as possible. This will help us clear the dungeon. The first few days will be hard, but the next ten days will be like a vacation."

Gu Siyuan smiled and said, "As long as the plan is successfully implemented, passing the customs will be easy."

At 5:30 in the evening, Su Han entered the buffet restaurant on time. But after entering the restaurant, she was stunned - there were only 20 to 30 people eating dinner inside.

"What's going on?" Su Han felt that something was wrong. If the food was provided for free, players would be very active in coming to eat regardless of whether they had stockpiled food or not.

In her expectation, many people would even come early and queue up.

"This is so weird." Su Han kept thinking to herself. She took some French fries and ate them intermittently while staying in the corner to observe the situation.

"Bang—" The goblet fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Then, a lady fainted on the ground and seemed to lose consciousness.

The waiter rushed over and sent the man to the infirmary, smiling and explaining to others, "Maybe the weather is too hot and he has heatstroke. Just rest for a while and he'll be fine."

Su Han lowered her eyes to hide the shock in them. If she saw correctly, the person's body showed, "Fullness: 86%, Cleanliness: 81%, Physical Strength: 63%. Status: Average, food poisoning."

But food poisoning?

Su Han looked at the empty bowls and plates in front of her and felt inexplicably sick to her stomach. For a moment, she no longer wanted to eat the food in the cafeteria.

But after calming down, she couldn't help but wonder, is food poisoning a necessary part of the game, or is it caused by the players?

Standing up, Su Han decided to go to the infirmary for a check-up.

However, just as she walked to the door of the infirmary, she saw through the gap that someone in the room stabbed the heart of the patient on the bed with a dagger. The next second, the patient's figure faded and then turned into white light.

Everything that happened before his eyes was so frightening that Su Han almost screamed out loud. But he quickly calmed down and regained his composure.

In the infirmary, Gu Siyuan whistled and smiled with great pride, "Another one has been dealt with."

After looking around again and again, Su Han confirmed that there was only one person in the room. She pursed her lips, took out a wooden stick from her portable storage, then quietly approached and swung it fiercely, aiming directly at the back of the other person's head.

"Hiss——" Gu Siyuan had just dealt with one man and was in a state of relaxation, but he didn't expect someone to attack him by surprise. He was suddenly hit by a stick and felt his eyes go dark, but he rolled on the ground without hesitation to avoid the follow-up attack.

The second stick missed, but Su Han did not get angry. Instead, he calmly closed the door of the infirmary and locked it.

"Woman?" After turning around and seeing the attacker clearly, Gu Siyuan was slightly stunned.

Su Han clenched the stick without saying a word. She had many questions that needed to be answered by the man in front of her, but after knocking him down, the communication between the two sides should be smoother.

"Hey, what do you want to do?" Gu Siyuan complained first, "Robbery?"

Su Han ignored him and went straight forward with the wooden stick.

Gu Siyuan pushed the ground hard with his right foot, and his whole body shot out like an arrow, and the dagger wanted to pierce the target's heart at that time.

Su Han was not in a hurry. He hit the other person's wrist holding the dagger with a wooden stick, and kicked him hard in the abdomen without hesitation.

After being kicked, Gu Siyuan lost his balance and groaned, a little dazed. He was beaten by a woman? Was he dreaming?

Su Han didn't give the enemy any chance to react.

The sticks rained down like raindrops, reducing Gu Siyuan's stamina to 12% in one breath. Su Han finally had the leisure to talk, "I ask a question, and you answer it. If I find out that you are lying or deliberately delaying the time when answering a question, I will immediately send you out."

Gu Siyuan cursed inwardly, "Fuck, this guy is so cruel!" But he couldn't beat him, so he could only admit defeat. Gu Siyuan raised his hands in surrender and said helplessly, "Ask."

"name."

"Gu Siyuan."

"What did you do after entering the dungeon?" Su Han's eyes flashed with ferocity. This guy was obviously a player with no bottom line, so she didn't bother to ask whether he was a player or an NPC.

Gu Siyuan smiled innocently, "Me? I didn't do anything."

Su Han changed the question, "What did your companion do?"

Gu Siyuan immediately choked. Seeing that the other party was about to swing the stick again, he felt a dull pain in his body and hurriedly shouted, "Wait, I'll tell you."

"Speed." Su Han looked indifferent.

Gu Siyuan confessed honestly, "My companions poisoned the bottled drinking water. Anyone who drank the water would be poisoned."

Su Han felt that he had been deceived, "What kind of poison can affect thousands of people?"

"A precious poison obtained from an intermediate talent skill." Gu Siyuan replied.

Su Han remained silent. If it was a 1% chance, precious poison, it was indeed possible. After thinking for a while, she continued to ask, "How many people have you killed so far?"

Gu Siyuan showed an extremely proud smile on his face, but he insisted on saying in a nonchalant tone, "Not many. Some died directly from the severe poisoning, and some fell into a coma and needed manual treatment. All in all, there were only about two or three hundred people."

Su Han felt a chill in his heart. Less than a day after entering the dungeon, he had already wiped out a quarter of the people. How efficient was that?

"How many companions are there? What are their names?" Su Han asked.

Gu Siyuan chuckled and said, "You are quite skilled and smart, why don't you join us? Once we have cleared out the rest of the people and there are only a few of us left on the ship, we will definitely be able to successfully complete the third round of the game."

"Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand people is a hero, and killing a million people is a hero among heroes. In a game, winning is good enough, the means are not important."

"If you think it over, can you let me go?"

Su Han silently moved the stick away.

Gu Siyuan was overjoyed, "That's right!"

Unexpectedly, just as he got up from the ground, a dagger appeared out of thin air in Su Han's right hand and suddenly stabbed into his heart.

“You…” Gu Siyuan was caught off guard.

Su Han said expressionlessly, "Even if it's a game, I want to live an upright life. People with different ideals cannot work together."

Gu Siyuan yelled, "Are you stupid?!"

Su Han coldly retorted, "I just love playing games like this, it's none of your business."

A white light flashed, and Gu Siyuan disappeared. Judging from his expression, he seemed to have died with his eyes open.
