Shen Shu nodded seriously. After the surprise just now, she was more convinced of Lu Ye's judgment: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Ye pondered, "This crappy game is full of traps. That achievement announcement is simply a death warrant. If you get something good in the future, you have to keep a low profile unless it's absolutely necessary."
He paused, his eyes becoming deep.
"Also, don't forget the system's other reminder—in seven days, there will be a so-called 'Purification Wave.' I don't know exactly what it is, but the name doesn't bode well. Before then, we must upgrade our ship's level as much as possible and stockpile sufficient food, water, weapons, and ammunition."
Hearing this, Shen Shu frowned slightly, a trace of worry rising on her cheeks: "Seven days...time is running out."
"Yeah, that's why we can't stop." Lu Ye controlled the direction, his eyes scanning the sea. "Although this power system saves energy, it's still not fast enough. Let's paddle together, the faster we can go, the better!"
The two men said no more, each picked up the wooden paddle they had obtained earlier, and paddled hard with the power of the engine.
Sure enough, with the dual power added, the speed of the assault boat increased again!
The sea breeze whistled past my ears, carrying with it a salty and humid smell.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again.
[Ding! You have successfully sailed ten nautical miles and received a chance to drop a random supply box x1!]
[Please select the delivery method: 1. Directly deposit into backpack; 2. Drop into the nearby sea surface.]
"Here it comes!" Lu Ye cheered up and chose the second option without hesitation, "Drop it into the sea ahead!"
With a splash, a familiar square wooden box appeared on the sea not far ahead, rising and falling with the waves.
Lu Ye grinned, put down the wooden paddle, and skillfully picked up the grappling hook launcher next to him.
After the actual combat of hunting the iron-tooth shark just now, his operation of this weapon has changed a lot.
Aim and pull the trigger!
“Swish—bang!”
The hook with the rope shot out accurately and nailed firmly to the side of the wooden box!
Lu Ye exerted a little force on his arm muscles, and the supply box was easily dragged back.
The whole process went smoothly.
With power devices and skilled techniques, the efficiency of collecting supplies is greatly improved.
The two men did not dare to slack off at all. The engines roared, the oars flew, and the assault boat rushed across the sea as if it had been injected with chicken blood.
Soon, they sailed another thirty nautical miles.
During this period, Lu Ye got two more opportunities to drop off supply boxes, adding the one just now, a total of three.
After pulling all three boxes of supplies onto the boat, the two men stopped to prepare to open them.
When the first box was opened, there was a complete set of self-heating hot pot inside!
Red oil pot base, vacuum-packed tripe, beef rolls, luncheon meat, various vegetables, and even matching heating fuel and portable pots!
"Hot pot?!" Lu Ye's eyes widened. "Has the system finally found its conscience? It knows our food is poor, so it's here to offer some warmth?"
The temptation of having a hot pot on the vast ocean is simply irresistible!
Shen Shu couldn't help swallowing, and a hint of longing appeared on her face.
The second box was opened, revealing some neatly folded clothes. They looked like quick-drying clothes suitable for the marine environment, one set for men and one for women, and the sizes seemed to be automatically adjusted according to their body shapes.
It was time to open the third box, which also contained clothes.
Shen Shu's expression was obviously a little unnatural, her eyes flickered, as if she remembered the embarrassing experience of prescribing adult products before.
Lu Ye was immediately happy.
Oh, Dr. Shen, does he have a psychological trauma?
He was just about to tease this cold-looking but gentle-hearted beautiful doctor to ease the tense atmosphere, but out of the corner of his eye he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white dot approaching at high speed on the distant sea!
The white spot is getting bigger and clearer!
The smile on Lu Ye's face disappeared instantly, his pupils suddenly shrank, he stood up abruptly, squinted his eyes and looked -
That's a completely white speedboat?!
The speed was extremely fast, and the bow of the boat broke through the waves, leaving a long white wake, and was rushing straight towards their small assault boat at full speed!
Someone caught up so soon?!
Lu Ye's heart sank suddenly.
The dazzling white speedboat, like an arrow shot from a bow, broke through the blue waves and set off two long white waves. Its target was clear, which was their inconspicuous assault boat!
The speed is amazing!
"Damn it!" Lu Ye's heart tightened and his adrenaline surged instantly.
He picked up the grappling hook launcher he had just put down, raised his hand suddenly, and pointed the black hole of the launch port directly at the speeding speedboat. His voice was like a bell:
"Stop! Stop the boat immediately! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
While shouting, he turned sideways to block Shen Shu behind him, and locked his eyes on the movements on the speedboat.
In this survival game where life hangs by a thread, approaching a stranger rashly often means killing!
Shen Shu also held her breath nervously, her fair fingers tightly gripping the edge of the assault boat, her knuckles turning white.
Unexpectedly, when the white speedboat was about fifty meters away from them, the engine sound suddenly decreased, the speed slowed down rapidly, and finally floated on the sea and stopped moving forward.
Immediately afterwards, a figure stood up on the speedboat.
Lu Ye's pupils shrank slightly, and he could see more clearly.
She was a woman, tall and well-proportioned, wearing a black combat uniform that was easy to move in. She had short, neat hair, a clear-cut face, and a heroic air between her eyebrows that was rare among ordinary women.
What surprised Lu Ye even more was that as soon as the woman stood firm, she immediately raised her hands high, palms facing forward, making a standard surrender gesture.
"Don't fire! I mean no harm!" The woman's voice was clear and crisp, penetrating the sea breeze.
"My name is Su Baiyue! I saw the system prompt that someone killed the Irontooth Shark, and the approximate range was marked on the map, so I came to take a look!"
Su Baiyue? That name sounds familiar...
A thought flashed through Lu Ye's mind, but his vigilance remained unchanged.
The achievement broadcast was indeed a problem! This woman was able to drive a speedboat and find us so quickly and accurately...
His tone was still cold: "What are you looking for? Do you want to steal the spoils?"
Su Baiyue seemed to have expected him to ask this question. She shook her head calmly and looked directly at Lu Ye with a sincere look.
"No, I want to talk to you about cooperation. Or rather, an alliance."
She paused, a hint of admiration in her eyes. "It's been less than two days since we started this game, and the vast ocean is full of dangers. You were able to single-handedly kill an iron-toothed shark and even received an achievement broadcast by the system. You're quite capable. I think we might be able to help each other."
Hearing this, Lu Ye sneered in his heart.
That sounds nice.
He responded calmly, "Oh, it was just luck. The shark walked into the trap."
