Lu Ye knew what was going on.
From the time they killed the shark until now, they have sailed at least twenty nautical miles!
This woman was driving a high-speed speedboat, braving the wind and waves, and accurately tracking them across such a long distance. This could not be explained by the word "luck".
This tracking ability and driving skills represent powerful strength in themselves!
At this moment, Shen Shu behind him suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes, lowered her voice, and spoke with a bit of excitement:
"Lu Ye, I remember now! Su Baiyue, she's Su Baiyue! When I was in college, she was a celebrity at the Sports University next door! She won several consecutive women's Sanda and fighting championships! She even represented the school in the National College Fighting League, won places, and was interviewed on TV! She's a super fighter!"
Shen Shu became more and more excited as she spoke, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Su Baiyue.
"If such a powerful person could be our teammate, wouldn't our safety be more guaranteed?"
When Lu Ye heard what Shen Shu said, instead of feeling happy, the alarm bells in his heart rang even louder!
Fighting champion? National ranking?
These labels combined together made the danger level of Su Baiyue's name soar in his mind!
He quickly glanced at the system interface - in the list of nearby players, there was no "teamable" or "friendly" sign behind Su Baiyue's name!
This means that the relationship between them is currently just that of strangers!
The stronger Su Baiyue is, the greater the threat he will pose to them if he turns against them!
He and Shen Shu combined are probably no match for this woman!
As if noticing the growing wariness in Lu Ye's eyes, Su Baiyue on the opposite side sighed softly and lowered her still raised hands.
"I know it's hard for you to trust me right away." She met Lu Ye's scrutinizing gaze frankly. "This is a damn place, and every step is so dangerous. You should be more cautious."
As she spoke, she bent down and took out a few things from the storage compartment of the speedboat. Her movements were not fast, as if she was showing her sincerity.
There were two unopened bottles of mineral water and three vacuum-packed bags of bread.
"I didn't come here empty-handed." Su Baiyue held up the supplies and motioned Lu Ye to take a closer look.
"This is one-third of my current food and water supply. My speedboat is fast, but its fuel consumption is alarming, and its small space doesn't allow for much storage. Worst of all, its light chassis causes it to toss violently at the slightest wind or wave, making it very unstable. I need a more stable platform and a capable partner to jointly face the upcoming challenges, especially the 'Purification Wave' in seven days."
She spoke in a sincere and clear tone, laying out her weaknesses and needs openly, as if trying to gain trust.
However, when Lu Ye looked at the two bottles of water and three bags of bread, his eyes became even colder.
If it were yesterday, these things might have been somewhat attractive.
But now…
The self-heating hot pot he had just unboxed flashed through his mind. In his backpack were fresh oranges and apples rewarded by the system, as well as biscuits and purified water that he had accumulated before, enough to last for a while.
Compared with his reserves, what Su Baiyue took out could be described as... shabby.
The corners of Lu Ye's mouth curled up in an almost imperceptible arc, with a hint of mockery.
He didn't even bother to say anything more. He just raised his chin slightly. His hand holding the grappling hook launcher was still as steady as before, and the rejection in his eyes was obvious.
"Water and bread? We have plenty of them." His voice was calm. "We appreciate your sincerity. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
The words were powerful and every word struck Su Baiyue's heart.
Su Baiyue froze, and the calmness on his face instantly cracked.
She had expected Lu Ye to refuse, but she didn't expect him to be so confident!
The tone of her voice was as if what she took out was not life-saving food and water, but garbage from the roadside!
Su Baiyue's brain was working rapidly.
She tracked them all the way here, and all she heard on the public communication channel were wailing and cries for help!
Most players are still struggling in a desperate situation with only a broken wooden board. Not to mention food, even a sip of clean water is a luxury!
Just how much stuff did Lu Ye hide?!
The speed and tracking ability that she was proud of seemed worthless in the eyes of the other party!
The speedboat on which she depended for survival had now become her weak spot, and was being firmly grasped by the other party!
After weighing the pros and cons several times, Su Baiyue took a deep breath and showed a trace of helplessness on his face.
"Okay... you're so cruel." She gritted her teeth. "You keep the water and bread. I won't get on your boat. I'll just follow from a distance. If we encounter bad weather or danger we can't handle, I hope you can lend me a hand."
This was the biggest concession she could make.
Maintaining distance also retained a glimmer of hope for help.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye didn't even raise his eyelids. He just hummed noncommittally, his fingers unconsciously stroking the trigger of the grappling hook launcher.
Follow from a distance? That's fine, with multiple free mobile sentries, you can monitor the movements at any time.
He deliberately pretended to be hesitant.
"Okay." He nodded reluctantly.
"You can follow me, but remember what you said. Keep at least fifty meters away. Don't play tricks."
As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Su Baiyue.
Su Baiyue was stunned for a moment, then she understood and quickly handed over the two bottles of water and three bags of bread.
Lu Ye took it without hesitation and stuffed it directly into the storage box of the assault boat with quick and decisive movements.
The "cooperation" was reached, and Lu Ye did not delay any longer. He restarted the engine of the assault boat, adjusted the direction, and continued to break through the waves along the previous route.
Su Baiyue's white speedboat followed silently behind, keeping a distance neither far nor close.
The sea breeze was howling, and another twenty nautical miles passed.
The system's prompt sounded at the right time, and a supply box floated not far ahead.
Lu Ye skillfully scooped it up with his hook and opened it.
[Obtain: Extra large waterproof and windproof tent *1]
A compact and square package.
Lu Ye weighed it and found it was not light.
A tent? Okay, I don't need it right now, but if I find a place to stay or need to spend the night on the boat, it will keep me warm.
He casually threw the tent into the corner of the system backpack.
Keep moving forward, and soon, the second supply box will appear.
This time, the moment the box was opened, Lu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up!
Inside was a whole set of brand new diving equipment!
A black tight-fitting diving suit, a breathing apparatus with dual oxygen tanks, a wide diving mask, and a pair of flexible fins!
What surprised him even more was that there were two "gifts" placed next to the equipment - a small portable electric spear gun with a cold metallic gleam at the muzzle;
There is also a three-pronged steel fork about one meter long, the tip of the fork is extremely sharp and shining with cold light!
