Chapter 23: The Fallen Beauty



The waves continued to hit her body, and the cold rain soaked her thin clothes, outlining her exquisite curves to the fullest.

"Hey!"

Finally, with the help of Shen Shu, the wet Su Baiyue was pulled onto the deck of Lu Ye's speedboat and fell heavily at the door of the wooden house. She was gasping for breath and shaking all over, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear.

Lu Ye took a glance.

I have to admit that this woman has a great figure.

The wet clothes clung to her body, revealing her curves. In the dim light, there was a thrilling temptation.

He calmly looked away, took out the coal and alcohol he had obtained from the previous transaction from the corner, ignited them with flint, and made a simple torch that he stuck in the corner of the wooden house.

"laugh--"

Orange-red flames rose up, dispelling some of the chill and illuminating the scene inside the cabin.

The flickering firelight reflected on Su Baiyue's water-stained face and curvy body, adding a touch of ambiguity and charm.

Lu Ye's gaze subconsciously lingered for two more seconds.

Well, the picture of a beauty falling into the water is indeed pleasing to the eye.

"cough!"

A deliberately loud cough sounded beside him.

Shen Shu reached out and tugged at his arm, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of jealousy: "Have you seen enough?"

"Uh..." Lu Ye touched his nose and laughed.

"This is just caring about our new ally. Don't freeze to death."

He casually dug out a clean blanket from the pile of supplies and threw it directly to Su Baiyue: "Wipe it and cover yourself."

Su Baiyue took the blanket, looked at Lu Ye gratefully, and wrapped herself tightly in it silently.

She took a breath, recalling the frightening scene just now, her voice still trembling: "Just now in the regional channel, I seemed to see several people who were very active before, their avatars turned gray..."

In most survival games, the gray avatar only represents one meaning.

die.

Lu Ye's heart trembled, and he immediately opened the system panel on the bracelet.

【Regional Channel (No.: #CN734)】

Sure enough, as Su Baiyue said, several dazzling gray areas suddenly appeared on the originally lively channel interface!

Most of those grayed-out avatars belong to the players who were frantically spamming the screen for help a few hours ago.

The desperate words seemed to still remain on the screen, but the avatar had become cold and colorless.

Raging Sea...it's just the beginning, and so many people have been eliminated? *

Lu Ye was secretly shocked. The cruelty of this survival game was far beyond his imagination.

As I swiped my finger, I saw active players speaking on the screen. One of their IDs was particularly eye-catching - [Lucky Star Little Prince].

He was the guy who jumped out at the beginning, boasting about his incredible luck, having hooked up with a guy called "Gang Ge," and even mocking Lu Ye for selling basic packages. He was still bragging in the channel at this moment:

[Lucky Star Prince]: "Hahaha! Brother Gang is awesome! Our boat is reinforced with iron sheets! This little wave is nothing! You newbies, just wait to be fed to the fish!"

[Lucky Star Prince]: "Brother Gang said, when the storm passes, take me to rob... oh no, to 'take over' some abandoned ships! There's plenty of supplies!"

There is a sense of the arrogance of a villain who has achieved success between the lines.

Lucky Star Little Prince...Brother Gang...

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes and silently memorized the two names.

Being able to live so comfortably at the beginning of this storm and even having enough energy to reinforce the iron sheets, this "Brother Gang" is definitely not an ordinary person.

If you encounter it in the future, you must be extra careful.

Time passed by minute by minute amid the flickering firelight in the wooden house and the constant sound of wind and waves outside the window.

Before I knew it, four hours had passed.

The wind outside seemed to have weakened a little, no longer seeming to tear the speedboat apart as before, but the waves were still surging, and the dull sound of the waves hitting the hull continued.

What’s even worse is that the rain shows no sign of stopping. Instead, it brings a chilly chill that seeps in through the gaps in the wooden boards.

Lu Ye felt goose bumps on his exposed arms, and a cold wind rushed down his neck.

He raised his wrist, and on the system interface of the waterproof bracelet, the environmental data showed an astonishing number - [Current area temperature: 1.2].

"A-choo!"

Su Baiyue next to him suddenly sneezed loudly, tightened the wet blanket around him which was not very warm, and shivered uncontrollably, his lips turning purple.

Although Shen Shu was not as exaggerated, her face was also a little pale from the cold, and she hugged her hands to her chest to keep warm.

This won’t work, or you’ll get hypothermia.

Lu Ye no longer hesitated, stood up and walked to the pile of supplies in the corner to search.

Soon, he took out three thick cotton coats - these were spare clothes he had exchanged for when he traded supplies before, and he didn't expect them to come in handy so soon.

He quickly took off his wet shirt and put on another one, and instantly felt a warmth enveloping his cold body.

Then, he threw the other two to Shen Shu and Su Baiyue.

"Put it on, don't force it." His tone was firm and unyielding.

Chen Shu and Su Baiyue looked at the thick cotton coats handed over, and a hint of gratitude flashed in their eyes.

But in this environment...

The wooden house was small to begin with, and although the firelight was not bright, it was enough to illuminate each other clearly.

One man, two women.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtly awkward.

Lu Ye seemed to have realized this as well. He coughed dryly and turned around very consciously, with his back to them, leaving a generous back view for the two of them.
