Chapter 52: Things from the Deep Sea (VIII)



Many people looked at Zhou Zhou again. Zhou Zhou looked at everyone and said calmly, "Yesterday there was a skeleton in a box in 101. I played with it for a while, and then the skeleton fell apart. The skeletons in the warehouse have not moved. I don't know why they are so active today."

As Zhou Zhou spoke, he pointed at the skeleton outside that was trying to climb up the mast. That skeleton had come out of room 101. Its speed and agility were much higher than the other skeletons. The player holding the mast looked down at the skeleton below, screaming and trying to climb to a higher position.

The players' mouths twitched. This is called lively? Too lively.

"If it's about the quest item..." Zhou Zhou suddenly walked through the crowd and came to Elvia's side. "We did complete the main quest yesterday, and we also found the quest item, but we only have one item, and we won't give it to you."

If Zhou Zhou were to say that they had just received the mission and knew nothing about the mission items, some people would definitely believe him. After all, it had only been an hour or two since these players received the mission. But Zhou Zhou couldn't say it. Just concealing his identity and making up daily experiences that he had never experienced was enough to make him feel guilty.

Moreover, there are so many players and there is only one quest item. Sooner or later, everyone will find out the sword he is carrying. Instead of lying, it is better to say it directly and see everyone's reaction. The main quest should not only be for them to fight over, there should be other possibilities.

Alvia looked down at Zhou Zhou who walked to his side without saying anything. After all, even if Zhou Zhou provoked the hatred of everyone present, it was not a big deal for him. Alvia leaned lazily against the steering wheel with his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker. He seemed careless, but he was observing the attitudes and reactions of everyone present.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhou was so direct. Wu Yu had thought of many things to say to prevent Zhou Zhou from making excuses, but the opponent's direct attack stunned him. After recovering quickly, Wu Yu said with a look of deep sorrow: "You clearly knew what the quest item was, but you just watched us look for it everywhere, and we lost so many players."

Suddenly, a female voice rang out in the crowd: "If I remember correctly, that kid clearly told you not to go to room 105. You agreed on the surface, but you let two players go in to explore the way. As a result, both of them died. In comparison, your behavior is more abominable."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a female player standing at the door of the cab. She was very tall, almost the same height as the male players around her. Even though she was leaning casually against the door, she looked tall and straight and full of imposing manner.

Shirley was originally trying to squeeze towards Zhou Zhou, but just now Zhou Zhou went straight towards Al without taking her with him. When she heard the voice and looked over, she saw a beautiful and powerful female player with long, dark red, slightly curly hair and beautiful facial features. Shirley's eyes lit up immediately. I like this sister!

Why didn’t I see such a cool female player last night? Shirley couldn't help looking over there while thinking to herself.

Wu Yu didn't expect that someone would come to ruin his show, and when Zhou Zhou told him that 105 could not enter, there were only a few people in the lounge. The female player was obviously not in the room at that time. How did she know?

At this time, another player also said that Wu Yu's companions used him to block the skeletons. There were so many people on the boat at the time, and Corey's actions were not very covert, so many people saw them.

Wu Yu looked at the crowd who were accusing them at once, and snorted coldly. His originally kind face immediately turned cold. He looked at Zhou Zhou again, his eyes moving down to his waist: "The main quest should be that sword."

After all, the most eye-catching thing on Zhou Zhou is the sword. Its gorgeous and retro style is from the same era as many items on the ship.

"We came here to clear the level, but there is only one main quest item, so whoever grabs it gets it. Do you want to watch the other person clear the level while you fail?"

Wu Yu's words did move many people. After all, they played the game to pass the level. Now the mission items have been taken away by others, so they can only steal them if they want to complete the task.

Alvia looked at everyone eagerly looking at the sword on Zhou Zhou's waist, and suddenly said: "In this case, why not divide into groups? Those who think Wu Yu is right, those who want to snatch the sword should stand with them, and the others should stand over here."

These words undoubtedly put everyone on the spot. Although they really wanted the mission items, it felt a bit heartless to say them out loud. After all, it was Zhou Zhou who lowered the rope ladder for them to get on the boat last night.

The female player looked at the hesitant crowd, walked straight towards Zhou Zhou, and stood on the other side of Zhou Zhou.

Shirley quickly moved over, and it turned out that the beauty looked even better up close!

As soon as Keli saw his sister's infatuated look, he knew what she was thinking. He could only stand silently behind Elvia and pretend not to know her.

The female player's attitude was very clear, which led many people to take sides. Many people still remembered Zhou Zhou's actions last night, and they thought that the mission items were on a first-come, first-served basis. Since they had already been taken away, it didn't matter, so they also walked behind them.

The rest of the people were still standing there hesitating, wanting to pass the level successfully but not wanting to do it by robbing.

Until a man stood up and slowly walked to Wu Yu's side. Although he was still some distance away from Wu Yu and Kouri, his attitude was already very clear.

The remaining people also gradually walked to Wu Yu's side, and the number of people on both sides was almost the same.

Zhou Zhou looked at the player standing next to him, then looked at the person opposite him, and finally looked at Elvia.

After Elvia suggested grouping, she didn't say anything else. The people on the opposite side remained silent because they felt guilty. The only sound in the entire cockpit was the player outside holding the mast. He was almost climbing to the top. The skeleton was made of bones and had no fulcrum, so it took a long time for it to climb to the halfway point of the mast, and sometimes it even slid down. The player shouted that he was about to fall, and at the same time shouted at the skeleton not to come over.

If you ignore the solemn atmosphere in the cab, the shouting of the player outside sounds miserable and a little funny.

Wu Yu counted the people standing behind him. The number of people on both sides was about the same, so they were not without a chance of winning. When they eliminated those on the opposite side, their chances of successfully passing the level would be higher.

A few minutes later, Wu Yu finally couldn't help it. He thought that the man named Al separated the players with different opinions in order to prepare for the two sides to fight for the mission items through force after the confrontation, but now the other party had stopped moving.

"Let's go together and get the sword first." Wu Yu said to the people standing on his side. Corey was the first to rush forward, aiming directly at Zhou Zhou. Although the others stood on Wu Yu's side, they were actually still unwilling to take action. Seeing that someone had already rushed forward, they had no choice but to follow suit.

Zhou Zhou, Elvia and others were standing at the front. Zhou Zhou didn't know how to fight, but Shirley and Keli were standing next to him, as well as the female player who spoke for him. Even if Zhou Zhou didn't know how to fight, he had to force his way in.

When he clenched his fists and prepared himself, facing a group of players rushing towards him, the people on his left and right kicked out a leg at the same time and knocked Cory and another player in the front to the ground.

Zhou Zhou widened his eyes in surprise. He knew that Al was very powerful, but he didn't expect that the female player was also so powerful.

"Just hold the sword and watch here." The female player curled her lips at Zhou Zhou, then knocked the first few players to the ground with a swift move. Elvia glanced at the female player indifferently. From the fighting posture of the female player, he had guessed who the other party was. Unexpectedly, it was another acquaintance.

The female player seemed to be able to handle the situation with ease alone, so Elvia did not go up to help, but stood behind and watched with the others.

Shirley patted Keli's shoulder and was extremely excited when she saw the female player's quick and decisive movements.

The players standing behind Zhou Zhou were even more stunned. Suddenly they were glad that they had chosen the right team, otherwise they would be the ones lying on the ground now.

There was a huge difference in the fighting power between the two sides. In fact, most of the players were quite skilled and were more than capable of escaping or fighting, but the gap between them and the female player was simply too big.

Although Wu Yu also rushed forward, he found that the opponent could defeat them all by himself, so he quietly retreated to the back and paddled on the edge of the crowd. At the same time, he winked at Kori, who had just struggled to get up after being kicked hard in the chest by the female player. The other party nodded in understanding, moved her palm slightly, and a card appeared in her hand instantly.

This card can make players within five meters stand still. The more players there are, the shorter the immobilization time. It is a high-level item, and they only have this one.

When Corey crushed the prop card, a faint light emanated from the card, covering everyone in the cab.

Except for Wu Yu and Kori who had already marked their props, everyone else was frozen. However, the players outside the cabin were not affected and were still shouting that they were going to fall.

Wu Yu frowned tightly, he had never thought of using the item so soon before. After all, the points required for this item were very high, and he wanted to use it at the critical moment, but now he used it so soon. With so many people present, they can only stay still for about a minute. Wu Yu immediately asked Kori to get the mission item. If the sword can really control the skeletons outside, then throw all the people on Zhou Zhou's side into the sea, or let them fight with the skeletons.

Corey stood up, holding his chest, and walked quickly towards Zhou Zhou through the still crowd. At this time, Zhou Zhou was looking at the female player in surprise. Corey didn't care about anything else and quickly reached out to grab the sword, but a hand was placed on his shoulder.

The time has clearly not come yet!

Corey turned his head suddenly and found that it was Elvia who was standing next to him. How was it possible? Everyone else was frozen, so why was this person fine?

Looking at the moving Alvia, Zhou Zhou blinked quietly. Everyone suddenly stopped moving. In order to make himself appear the same as everyone else, he also pretended not to move. So why could Al move? So can he move now?
