Lu Ye couldn't help but frown slightly. The situation before him was more difficult and weird than he had expected.
While most people on the public channel were still screaming in despair, cursing madly, or struggling in vain to survive, Lu Ye remained surprisingly calm.
He had already blocked out the obscene words and was now concentrating on a special communication channel on the wrist terminal.
He directly connected to Meng Yang's private communication.
"Meng Yang, what's the situation on your side? Tell me in detail."
Meng Yang's slightly hoarse voice soon came from the other end of the communicator.
"Brother Lu! You finally replied! We've made a terrifying discovery! Brother Lu, you'll never imagine... We seem to have been swallowed whole by some gigantic monster!"
Swallowed it into your stomach?
No matter how tough Lu Ye was, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly at this moment!
Meng Yang's voice trembled slightly as he added hastily.
"We've used all the available detection equipment on board to piece together a simple wide-area signal relay. I'm going to broadcast the external environment images I'm detecting to you in real time! You'll understand once you see it! This is fucking terrifying!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen of Lu Ye's wrist-mounted terminal flashed slightly, and a slightly blurry image with a slightly unstable signal, but the general outline could still be recognized, began to play.
In the picture, there is a huge wall of flesh that is constantly wriggling and covered with sticky liquid. The color is a disgusting dark purple.
The flesh walls were covered with tangled veins like hills, and were pulsating slightly and rhythmically.
If you zoom out a little, you can even see the outlines of some larger structures in the distance, which resemble some digestive glands or internal organs, slowly contracting and expanding.
A fishy stench and a suffocating feeling of oppression almost came through the screen.
Sure enough! This is actually in the digestive tract of some giant living creature!
Just as Lu Ye was quickly digesting this earth-shattering information and his brain was working rapidly to think of a countermeasure, the players who he had previously sent out to "deal with" Xie Wei by giving them "free weapons" finally sent intermittent communications.
One of the IDs was the guy who had first jumped out in the public channel, publicly responded to his call, and claimed that he would take Xie Wei's life.
"Boss Lu Ye! We found the motorboat that Xie Wei left behind! He's nowhere to be seen. I guess he was blown to pieces by the previous series of explosions."
The player's voice contained a hint of excitement and a hint of fear.
He took a breath, his tone suddenly becoming strange.
"But...but boss, wasn't there a 'core warehouse' on Xie Wei's shabby motorboat? We worked together to pry open his so-called 'storage compartments'...but when we opened them, we saw... inside..."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the communication channel fall into silence, but even on Lu Ye's ship, Qin He and several core crew members looked at each other in confusion.
Empty? The "core warehouse" that Xie Wei had spent so much effort to protect, even offering a red bounty, was actually empty?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Another angry voice immediately exploded in the communication.
"That grandson of Xie Wei is as cunning as a loach. He would just throw a motorboat around without putting anything inside? He must be kidding!"
"Did you sneakily hide it while we weren't paying attention?!"
The previous player immediately bit back.
"I'm hiding your grandma's leg! I think you're the one crying thief!"
"What the hell, you're looking for death!"
"Come on! I'm not afraid of you!"
Immediately afterwards, the communication channel was filled with the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh, as well as even more unbearable curses and cries of pain.
Several players who had just temporarily united because of a "common goal" suddenly started fighting and became enemies because of an empty warehouse.
The public channel was once again in an uproar because of this sudden "empty box" incident.
All kinds of speculation, ridicule, and gloating remarks were posted quickly.
Lu Ye looked at the chaotic images sent back by the players on the wrist terminal, as well as their disheveled, bruised and battered appearances. The corners of his mouth widened and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hey, this grandson Xie Wei, does he really think he can hide some good stuff?
With his little cleverness, he deserves to be called the core warehouse?
When he sold off his supplies on the trading platform, what he got in return were mostly "skill experience scrolls" and various one-time strengthening potions, which were considered useless by many players but were priceless treasures in his eyes.
He had immediately distributed those scrolls to Qin He, Su Baiyue and several key fighters on the ship. They were all used and turned into actual improvements on their skill level panels.
As for those strengthening potions, most of them had been used up in the previous small-scale conflicts and daily training.
Once these things are used, the effects are permanent and integrated into the user.
No matter how overbearing the "Special Rules of the Bloody Forbidden Zone" are, they can't forcibly strip away the skills you've learned, the experience you've gained, and the body you've strengthened, and return them to their original owners, right?
This business is simply a huge profit with no investment!
No, it’s a huge profit!
Lu Ye was overjoyed. This was just like Xie Wei's group of guys who were buying things on the trading platform. They lined up to get the "experience scrolls" and potions they had worked so hard to get from the initial supply boxes, and gave them to him for free, helping him to build a high-quality team out of thin air without bloodshed.
However, they themselves were beaten back to their original form under the iron fist of the rules. All their previous speculation and plundering became a mirage and a waste of time.
The more Lu Ye thought about it, the more proud he became, and he almost slapped his thigh with joy.
However, this sense of ease and joy did not last long.
The call from Meng Yang came in again, his tone serious.
"Brother Lu...the situation is not good! Very bad!" Meng Yang's voice was clearly disturbed by electricity.
"That damn thing that swallowed us...it's moving! It's moving very fast! The simple compass needle on our ship is almost spinning like a windmill!"
As he spoke, the real-time images on Lu Ye's wrist-mounted terminal, transmitted back by the simple wide-area signal relay device put together by Meng Yang and his team, began to shake and distort violently.
In addition to those huge, disgusting, wriggling walls of flesh, the camera occasionally swept across some newly emerged "scenery" - more broken metal skeletons corroded beyond recognition by digestive fluid, and even some indescribable remains belonging to other players and unknown deep-sea monsters.
These horrifying images flash by, but are enough to send chills down one's spine.
