In an instant, everyone who saw that scene felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
Under those ships, there was a dense gathering of strange sharks that had never been seen before!
These sharks are not big, about one meter long, but they look extremely ferocious and terrifying!
Their skin is a metallic gray-black, their heads are flat, and their mouths are open at a huge angle. Inside are not ordinary fangs, but rows of serrations that flash with cold light and are as fine and sharp as steel rulers!
In the firelight, these "steel rulers" reflected a heart-pounding cold light!
“Crunch—crunch—!”
The teeth-grinding sound of gnawing could be heard clearly!
Those [Steel Ruler Sharks] were frantically gnawing at the wooden boards and metal on the bottom of the ship with their terrifying teeth!
Some ships that already had weak protection had holes eaten into their bottoms!
The cold sea water rushed in violently!
"Ah! So many sharks!"
"The boat is sinking! Help!"
"Run! Get off this ship!"
The bottom of an electric boat was the first to be completely eaten through, and the hull suddenly tilted!
The people on the deck screamed and lost their balance, falling into the cold and dark sea like dumplings!
“Plop! Plop!”
The sound of falling into the water was accompanied by even more shrill and desperate screams!
In the light of the fire, those who fell into the water were surrounded by the steel sharks swarming from below in an instant!
The bright red blood quickly dyed a large area of the sea red!
Limbs were torn apart, bones were gnawed off... In just a few breaths, the person who fell into the water was dismembered, leaving only a disgusting scene of blood and fragmented debris!
The survivors still on the boat watched their companions being eaten alive. They were terrified and pale!
Is this... game night for round two?!
This is not survival, this is hell!
Shen Hebei's face turned pale as he looked at the hellish scene in the distance, his stomach churning.
He subconsciously grabbed the side of the boat beside him, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
Fortunately, I met up with Ye Zi!
If this were still on that broken ship...
He couldn't even imagine it!
The feeling of relief at surviving the disaster instantly reached its peak! This thigh was the right one to hug!
Seeing that the second ship was also in danger and the hull groaned under the heavy weight, the survivors on it completely collapsed!
They no longer hesitated and sent heartbreaking calls for help to the brightly lit and stable Lu Ye fishing boat:
"Boss Lu! Help! Please save us!"
"Our ship is sinking! Please help us!"
"As long as you can get us on board, we'll give you whatever you want!"
Lu Ye stood at the side of the ship, watching all this with a stern expression. The firelight illuminated his angular profile, making him look unusually calm.
He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but clear enough to overcome all the noise.
"I don't do business at a loss here."
Simple and direct, without a trace of emotion.
How could the survivors, whose lives were hanging by a thread, dare to bargain?
In the face of the fear of death, any material possessions are nothing more than external things!
"It's not a loss! It's absolutely not a loss!" The middle-aged man who wanted to exchange solar panels for food before was now screaming with tears streaming down his face.
"All the solar panels on our ship! And all the building materials we collected before! Wood, iron sheets, spare parts! All are yours! All I ask is that Boss Lu give us a way out!"
"Yes, yes! Us too! Everything is yours! Please help me!"
The people on the other boat also shouted, and in order to survive, they took out all their belongings without hesitation.
Lu Ye glanced at the steelhead sharks madly stirring in the sea in the distance, as well as the shaky broken ships.
He noticed that among the "building materials" and "parts" mentioned by the other party, some of them seemed to be related to the materials on the protective shield drawings.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. At this stage, the more we can collect, the better.
"Okay." Lu Ye nodded and said succinctly, "Put down your weapons, take off your coats, and crawl over here one by one! Anyone who dares to try anything will be thrown down to feed the sharks!"
The survivors who were allowed to survive felt as if they had been pardoned. How could they dare to hesitate even a little?
They threw away the only simple weapons in their hands, took off their wet coats, and swam towards Lu Ye's fishing boat using their hands and feet, or floated over by clinging to the broken wooden boards.
Everyone was stunned when they climbed tremblingly onto the deck of Lu Ye's obviously upgraded, spacious and sturdy fishing boat.
The deck under my feet is very stable and I can hardly feel the bumps of the waves.
The ship's sides are tall and gleam with metallic luster.
The lights on the ship dispelled the darkness.
More importantly, those steelhead sharks that were rampaging outside seemed to have no interest in the ship and did not even get close!
Lu Ye's sharp eyes were fixed on the water surface, especially the small area where he had thrown the torch before.
He keenly caught a detail - where the fire was brightest, the steel sharks were clearly circling!
Afraid of light? Or fire?
"Bai Yue! Hebei! Xiao Yiyi, and Chen Shu!"
Lu Ye suddenly shouted.
"Take out all the spare torches on the ship! Light them! Put them in every corner along the side of the ship!"
Su Baiyue didn't hesitate at all, and rushed towards the storage cabin in a flash.
Shen Hebei shuddered and took action immediately.
Although Xiao Yiyi was a little scared, she hurried over to help.
Lu Ye's fishing boat has been upgraded and has a wide deck, which is far superior to ordinary small boats.
"Hurry up!"
He urged, and picked up a few spare oars soaked in oil, lit them with a lighter, found the right position, and inserted them hard into the fixed seat on the side of the boat.
Soon, burning torches were lit and erected along the edges of the fishing boat. The orange-red flames burned fiercely, forming a huge "safety halo" on the dark sea.
The firelight dispelled the surrounding darkness and also illuminated the nervous figures of everyone on the deck.
"Look! Those sharks really don't seem to dare to come closer!"
A survivor who had just been rescued pointed to the distance with a trembling voice.
Sure enough, as the fire on Lu Ye's boat grew brighter, the group of steelhead sharks that were originally hovering nearby retreated one after another, away from the waters covered by fire.
“It works!”
"Quick! Let's light a fire too!"
In the distance, the remaining survivors on the broken ships that were still struggling and had not yet completely sunk also saw this scene.
The instinct of survival overrides everything!
They frantically searched for anything on the boat that could burn—rags, rotten wood, spare fuel, and even removed the awning...
They set fire to anything that could burn and piled it randomly beside the boat, trying to imitate Lu Ye's method and create a bright light.
