Xue Cheng suppressed his humiliation and spoke in a deep voice.
"First, this so-called hunting operation does have a leader. His name is Bo Wang. I heard he's a tough guy from the real-life special forces. He's very powerful. I don't know his specific abilities, but he's definitely not someone to be trifled with!"
"Secondly, that Bo Wang has a very strange condition when he's gathering people—participants must agree to temporarily hand over their ships to him for unified command and dispatch! It seems he wants to concentrate his firepower and make a big move!"
"Third, the player community system seems to have quietly updated a feature recently. If your team has more than ten people, it will no longer forcibly match you with people you already know in real life. Instead, if someone you know in real life appears within a hundred meters of you, the system will pop up a notification to mark you. We haven't figured out the specific purpose of this yet, but it still feels a bit useless."
Xue Cheng finished speaking in one breath, feeling as if he had revealed all his cards, and felt empty inside.
After listening to it, Lu Ye pondered the first two pieces of news. As for the third one... he curled his lips.
Tagging tips?
One hundred meters?
It's really useless.
If enemies really meet, what good is a hundred meters? It would be more satisfying to force a match and start fighting directly.
He was about to say something to show that he understood.
Just then—
"Woo-hum-"
A strong beam of searchlight swept over, and then, a medium-sized speedboat with smooth lines and obviously smaller than Lu Ye's fishing boat, but more than one level larger than Xue Cheng's broken motorboats, appeared in everyone's sight.
The speedboat was moving extremely fast, but when it was about seventy or eighty meters away from the fishing boat, it slowed down and stopped very properly.
Almost at the same time, a crisp prompt sounded from Lu Ye's system panel.
[System prompt: Player "Kingdom" sends you a team request]
Lu Ye looked at the speedboat, a hint of amusement and understanding flashing in his eyes.
His eyes locked onto it with precision.
The man stood on the front deck of the speedboat. In the light of the searchlight, his shiny, almost bare head was particularly eye-catching.
It's the Kingdom!
His bald boss who used to tell him "Xiao Lu long, Xiao Lu short" every day, then turned around and deducted his express delivery fees!
It’s really a narrow road for enemies to meet, and the ghosts are lingering around!
How come this damn survival game also has the "precision placement of former bosses" function?
Wang Guo obviously recognized Lu Ye, and even more so the fishing boat under Lu Ye's feet, which was out of tune with the surroundings and could be regarded as a luxurious fortress.
A look of surprise first crossed his face, then was replaced by greed.
He took two steps forward, holding in his hand a gray satellite phone that looked quite old.
"Lu Ye?" Wang Guo's tone was very controlled, as if he was still lecturing in the office.
"You're doing great, kid. You're doing pretty well! Coincidentally, I have a satellite phone here that can save my life at a critical moment! Be smart and let me, your brother Wang, and my brothers get on your boat! Otherwise..."
He shook the satellite phone in his hand, and the threat was obvious.
What else can you do? Call me and complain about my poor service attitude?
Lu Ye almost wanted to laugh.
Didn't this guy understand the situation? Did he still think his PUA tactics would still work in this lawless sea?
Lu Ye didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and simply chose to ignore it.
He knows the rules of the system very well.
The so-called team distance limit is mainly to restrain team members and prevent anyone from leaving the captain's command range without authorization.
Punishment is usually for those "lambs" who stray away from the captain.
The Kingdom wants to use this to control him? This is simply unrealistic!
Lu Ye turned around and picked up a very basic first aid kit from the pile of medical supplies nearby. The packaging was even a little wrinkled. Without even looking at it, he threw it directly towards Xue Cheng's motorboat.
"Go on!" the voice was not loud. "Go away and stop being an eyesore here."
Xue Cheng caught it in a panic, with a mixture of humiliation and relief on his face. In the end, he tactfully said nothing more, called his men, and the engine roared as it quickly disappeared into the night.
After dealing with these small fry, Lu Ye gestured to Shen Shu in the cab.
"Ah Shu, turn! Let's follow the edge of the 'Rotten Abyss' and salvage some supplies first. Once it's completely dark, we'll go meet those big guys!"
"Got it." Shen Shu's cold voice came from the cab.
"boom--!"
The upgraded fishing boat's engine let out a low and powerful roar, and the bow turned, stirring up huge waves. It headed in the predetermined direction without hesitation, leaving the stunned Kingdom on the medium-sized speedboat far behind.
On the speedboat, a thin man approached Wang Guo cautiously.
"Wang...Brother Wang, shall we...follow you?"
The smugness on Wang Guo's face froze, replaced by anger and humiliation.
He snorted coldly, and his saliva almost sprayed on the man's face.
"Fuck you! I gave him face!"
Wang Guoqiang tried to save face and spoke viciously.
"This kid is just a fool, he doesn't know his place! When he gets hurt and hits a wall, he'll naturally come back crying and beg me! And then... humph! Without my satellite phone, I wonder how he'll contact the outside world and survive! We'll just wait here!"
However, just as he finished speaking——
"Sizzle—crackle!"
A blinding arc of electricity suddenly exploded from Wang Guo's body! He trembled violently and let out a shrill scream!
His muscles tensed instantly and began to twitch uncontrollably. His mouth opened wide and saliva mixed with white foam flowed out of the corners of his mouth uncontrollably!
"ah--!!"
Unspeakable pain instantly swept through his whole body!
The other people on the speedboat tried to help him in a panic, but were afraid of being electrocuted, so there was chaos for a while.
What's going on?! It's the distance!
In between the severe pain, a glimmer of clarity finally flashed through Wang Guo's mind.
He's not the captain! He's just a team member!
He must stay within the range allowed by the captain!
And that bastard Lu Ye walked forward!
"Hurry up! Follow that fishing boat!!"
The kingdom practically roared.
The medium-sized speedboat immediately increased its speed and chased in the direction where Lu Ye's fishing boat disappeared.
But it was too late.
Lu Ye's fishing boat has undergone a system upgrade and its power far exceeds that of ordinary boats.
The Kingdom's ship looked sophisticated, but was actually just a "medium-sized" speedboat and could not compare at all.
What made Wang Guo even more desperate was that Lu Ye seemed to have no intention of stopping at all.
A soft light would occasionally appear on his system panel.
Each express delivery reminder means that Lu Ye’s strength is constantly increasing during the voyage.
On the other hand, the kingdom is experiencing intermittent hell.
“Sizzle—Ah!!”
Every few distances, if you fall behind even a little, the terrifying electric shock will come as expected.
