Moving islands?
At this moment, a new 24-hour countdown appeared in the upper left corner of the panel.
Yu Xiangnan's brain was working at lightning speed.
It seems she was wrong at first. "Mobile Home" does not refer to the cruise ship that is slowly moving at sea, but to the "mobile island" that players need to fight for after the cruise ship is destroyed by the tornado.
However, now is not the time to think about that; we need to deal with the big problem at hand first!
Yu Xiangnan gave the (★★★) [Little Yellow Duck Lifebuoy] he had obtained using [Grace] to Bula, and then quickly put on his life jacket.
In this situation, it is necessary to quickly move away from the capsized cruise ship to avoid being swept into the whirlpools created as the ship sinks. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid any sharp objects or floating debris, which is very troublesome.
Therefore, Yu Xiangnan and Bula had already taken action before the cruise ship was caught in the tornado.
"You jump, I jump."
[Bula]: Yes, sir!
Seeing this, Yu Xiangnan grabbed a small, broken shovel and shouted the slogan, "I'm injured, but you're losing your life!" After the shield was formed, he jumped into the turbulent sea without hesitation.
Although the cruise ship's small lifeboats were deployed, they primarily carried members of the cruise club. This unfair situation instantly ignited the anger of everyone present, with many angrily pointing fingers, and the scene descended into complete chaos.
Driven by despair and panic, they all jumped onto the lifeboats in a frenzy, but the sheer number of people on board far exceeded the lifeboats' capacity.
Overwhelmed by the weight, the lifeboat rocked violently and eventually capsized.
At this moment, the tornado roared in, and its powerful suction quickly pulled the cruise ship into it. The cruise ship was mercilessly capsized by the gale and the giant waves!
In fact, quite a few players and NPCs abandoned the lifeboat and jumped into the sea with Yu Xiangnan, but some of them were indeed "desperate and grasping at straws," thinking that they could escape the disaster just because they could swim.
However, without the buoyancy provided by a life jacket, and in such large waves, it becomes very difficult to stay afloat, and one is easily submerged by the waves or repeatedly choke on water.
A very small number of people who jumped were lucky enough to grab onto floating objects and barely escaped disaster.
"***, where's the island? Where is the island?!"
"Island, how can I live without you?!"
The player's voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of the storm and the waves.
Yu Xiangnan steadied himself in the seawater and then took the lifeboat out of the card book.
She nimbly climbed onto the lifeboat, gripped the edge tightly, and with her other hand, pulled the soaking wet Bula up.
Bula felt extremely uncomfortable and immediately began to shake his wet body.
His round, plump body jolted violently, splashing water everywhere like a small water bomb exploding. The water droplets traced arcs in the air, landing squarely on Yu Xiangnan.
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
Thank you for witnessing such a satisfying washing machine spin cycle.
There's nothing we can do about it; Bura can't grow to gigantic size yet, and if it flies, it will definitely be swept away by the tornado.
If going to heaven won't work, then the only option is to go to sea.
The wind howled across the sea, and the waves kept crashing against the lifeboat as it gradually moved away from the tornado.
Yu Xiangnan glanced at the real-time number of survivors in the upper left corner of the panel. The number of players was still decreasing, with less than two thousand left.
When the tornado struck, everyone pulled out all the stops, regardless of whether they were exposed or not, and used every skill they could get their hands on. Things like freezing water, manipulating winds, or, like her, using shields to temporarily block damage.
Unfortunately, she couldn't leave the cruise ship before the natural disaster struck, because if her prediction was wrong, there might be some mutated creatures underwater, which would be troublesome.
Moreover, the tornado came too fast and too suddenly; she was barely able to save herself and had no time to rescue the NPC she had successfully recruited earlier...
However, now that we have successfully gained the upper hand, we cannot let it go to waste.
Without hesitation, Yu Xiangnan quickly began searching for the so-called "moving island".
The cruise ship sank, and the only light disappeared completely. The sea was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the inky sky and the sea seemed to merge into one.
She drifted on the vast ocean for nearly half an hour before finally spotting two islands.
The two islands are about three football fields apart and are both very small.
However, both islands are surrounded by an invisible barrier, which can only be crossed after purchasing the island; other players cannot approach them.
Yu Xiangnan did not buy it immediately, but observed it from a distance outside the barrier. He soon discovered that there was a "supply box" on both of the moving islands that only the island owner could open.
After comparing them, she finally chose the island with the better conditions.
[Tip]: Purchasing this island will cost 20 points. Do you want to purchase? (Note: Once an island is selected, it cannot be changed.)
【whether】
Yu Xiangnan decisively pressed "Yes".
Because purchasing the island cost her 20 points, she dropped from second to third place.
Strangely, the deceased players were still on the leaderboard, only their names had turned gray and their scores were zero. Even more surprising was that "Xiao Jiu," who hadn't initially appeared on the leaderboard, had suddenly jumped to fifth place in the real-time points ranking.
If points could only be obtained through the [Exploration Cruise] before the natural disaster, it means that Xiao Jiu may have been hiding somewhere and didn't get many points.
But now that it's suddenly on the list, a question arises...
What is the top-ranked player on the kill leaderboard good at? It's definitely killing people with knives!
Although the rules do not specify how to obtain points, judging from Xiao Jiu's sudden surge in ranking, killing someone is very likely to earn points, and it may even be possible to directly plunder the points possessed by the killed player.
Of course, this is just speculation.
There are just too many uncertainties.
Moreover, this real-time leaderboard is completely transparent, which is very unfriendly to players like her who like to act alone and are used to playing it safe.
Once she becomes the focus of attention for all the players, she will most likely be attacked by everyone... Although her current attributes are already among the top, one person can't fight against four. Therefore, this point-based dungeon may seem like everyone is acting independently on the surface, but in reality, cooperation is inevitable.
As Yu Xiangnan pondered, he opened the special supply box on the island that only the island owner could open.
