Just when Su Baiyue was distracted, the speedboat was gently pushed by a wave. Her hand shook, and the hook she was holding hit a box covered with bright red spiral patterns next to it.
There was a slight "click" sound, barely audible amid the sound of the waves, but Lu Ye's ears were exceptionally sharp!
"Be careful!" Almost at the moment of the collision, Lu Ye's face changed suddenly. He leaned forward suddenly, stretched out his hands, one hand around Su Baiyue's waist, the other hand grabbed Shen Shu's arm, and used all his strength to pull the two of them back!
"ah!"
“Hmm!”
Two screams rang out at the same time. Chen Shu and Su Baiyue were caught off guard, lost their balance, and fell backwards together, crashing heavily into Lu Ye's arms.
Chen Shu's body was delicate and soft, and the collision was like a plump fruit hitting the solid ground, bouncing slightly on Lu Ye's chest, bringing a strange touch.
Lu Ye's heart was slightly moved, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose.
However, he had no time to savor this brief moment of warmth and softness, as his eyes were already fixed on the red patterned box that Su Baiyue had just touched!
The lid of the box was cracked open by the collision just now, and the next second after Lu Ye pulled the two women back, a crystal clear object emitting a strange blue fluorescent light, like jelly, popped out from the gap of the box and fell into the cold sea!
Almost at the same time, the prompt panel of the "Courier" system suddenly popped up on Lu Ye's retina, and a line of scarlet text stung his eyes:
[Warning! Special dangerous unit detected: Portuguese man-of-war (mutated species)! ]
[Source: Special output from the Trap Supply Box (Pattern Box).]
[Danger Level: Extremely High!]
[Features: All tentacles contain a potent neurotoxin. Once in contact with the skin, it can cause severe pain, paralysis, respiratory failure, and even cardiac arrest within seconds! Even a strong adult would find it extremely difficult to survive without effective medication!]
Portuguese man-of-war! It's actually this thing! And it's a mutant!
"Hiss!" Su Baiyue saw the blue "jelly" slowly stretching its tentacles in the sea water. In an instant, she felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet to the top of her head! Cold sweat soaked her back!
Just a little bit! If Lu Ye hadn't reacted quickly, she would have...
A huge fear gripped her, making her whole body go limp, and she subconsciously hugged Lu Ye's arm tightly.
She felt like she had just had a close call with death, her heart still beating wildly in her chest.
"It's okay..." Lu Ye felt the huge force on his arm and the girl's body trembling. Knowing that she was very scared, he raised his other hand and gently patted her back, saying in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's over."
Su Baiyue nodded vigorously, her face still as pale as paper, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Ye had completely changed.
Doubt? No more!
At this moment, all that was left was the gratitude for surviving the disaster and the almost blind trust in Lu Ye.
She silently swore in her heart that from now on, no matter how bizarre the decision Lu Ye made, she would never question it again!
This man's intuition is more accurate than radar! It's a life-saving intuition!
"Stay away and fish out those ordinary boxes first." Lu Ye's gaze fell back on the blue "devil" floating on the sea, his brows furrowed.
This thing is too dangerous and must be disposed of.
He subconsciously touched the whale hook and harpoon at his waist.
Okay, the toxin in this thing is too strong, and the system prompts that it will cause death upon contact.
If you use a harpoon to poke a fish, and the toxin gets on the fork, can you still use the harpoon? Can you still eat the fish you caught with the fork?
The dark blue "jelly" slowly stretched out its deadly tentacles in the sea water, exuding a kind of weird beauty, but also foreshadowing the coming of death.
Lu Ye stared at it, his mind racing.
Disinfect? Where can I find alcohol or disinfectant now? This damn game system is not so kind.
His eyes swept across the debris piled on the speedboat, and suddenly stopped on an inconspicuous cloth bag in the corner - it was one of the "life-saving money" left behind by Liu Chenggong and his gang.
He remembered that there seemed to be...
Lu Ye took a few steps over and quickly began searching. Sure enough! A small bag of seeds and a few cans of cheap hairspray! A small metal lighter had also fallen out nearby, likely from one of the two underlings.
"Got it!" A gleam of light flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.
Chen Shu and Su Baiyue were both a little confused. They looked at Lu Ye picking up the can of low-quality hairspray and a lighter, with question marks written all over their faces.
What's he doing at this hour? Is he trying to create a look?
Lu Ye didn't have time to explain. He unscrewed the cap of the hairspray, held the hairspray in his left hand, lit the lighter with his right hand with a "click", and moved close to the nozzle.
"Fuck! Lu Ye, what are you doing?" Su Baiyue was startled and subconsciously shrank back.
The next second, Lu Ye pressed the hairspray nozzle!
"call--!!!"
A strong flame with a pungent smell suddenly shot out from the nozzle, and ignited by the flame of the lighter, it formed an orange-red tongue of fire more than half a meter long!
The high temperature instantly distorted the air, making a rustling sound!
Simple flamethrower!
"Good guy..." A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Shu's cold eyes.
This guy's brain works really fast, he can even think of this method.
Lu Ye held the "hairspray flamethrower" steadily in his arm and aimed it at the blue "Grim Reaper" slowly floating on the sea.
“Sizzle——!!!”
The flames precisely covered the mutant Portuguese Man-of-War! The eerie blue fluorescence struggled for a moment in the flames before quickly dimming.
The gelatinous substance that made up its body crackled with a teeth-aching sound under the high temperature, quickly curling, blackening, and carbonizing! A strange, stench of burnt protein filled the air.
In just a few seconds, the terrifying mutant jellyfish completely turned into a small piece of black charcoal floating on the sea surface, gently swaying with the waves.
Lu Ye finally released the nozzle, extinguished the flame, and casually tossed the can of hairspray and lighter back into the pile of junk. The crisis was over.
[Ding! Successfully eliminated the special dangerous unit: Portuguese Man-of-War (mutated species)!]
[Evaluation: The handling method was efficient and decisive.]
[Reward: Antidote Serum x 3. Automatically stored in your system backpack.]
[Antitoxin serum: Can neutralize most known biological toxins, including the neurotoxin of the mutant Portuguese man-of-war. Effective upon injection.]
Three serums!
Lu Ye felt relieved. This thing could save his life at the critical moment!
It seems that the system is not completely unreasonable. There are still rewards for solving problems.
