Excited shouts could be heard faintly.
"Quick! Go up and take a look! There must be supplies!"
"Such a big ship, there must be good stuff inside!"
"No one? Great! They're all ours!"
Looking at the players rushing onto the big ship, Lu Ye felt more and more uneasy.
He touched the fine dagger at his waist and picked up a metal crowbar that he had seized earlier.
"Hebei, come with me and take a look." Lu Ye said in a deep voice.
The rest of you stay on board, keep alert, and be ready to respond and fire at any time!"
Shen Hebei swallowed, nodded, and picked up a machete.
The two approached the cruise ship cautiously, found a relatively secluded spot, and climbed up using the anchor rope.
As soon as I stepped onto the deck, I felt a heavy and solid touch under my feet.
The deck is surprisingly wide, the teak floor is well maintained, and you can even smell a faint wood fragrance.
Looking into the cabin, the luxurious interior can be vaguely seen behind the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
This ship is...too new.
Lu Ye was even more confused.
They crouched down and quickly entered the cabin.
The space inside was indeed enormous, more than twice as large as the entire space of the ship combined!
All the equipment, from the navigation desk to the sofas in the lounge area to the wine cabinet behind the bar, exudes sophistication and luxury.
Smooth metal panels, ergonomically designed seats, huge display screen...
However, everything is cold and dark.
The screen was dark, the buttons were unresponsive, and the joysticks seemed welded shut, not moving at all.
"What's going on? Why can't these things be used?"
A player who had already rushed into the cockpit slammed the console hard, making a banging sound, his face full of anger.
"Who cares! Take away everything that can be taken apart!"
Another player seemed more practical and had already started using a wrench to tighten a high-end-looking communication device.
"Take this thing back with you, maybe it can be used on our ship!"
"Yes, yes, yes! This chair looks comfortable, bring it back!"
For a moment, the spacious cabin was filled with the clanging sounds of dismantling. Players were like locusts swarming across the land, greedily sweeping up any parts that looked valuable.
“Brother Lu, this ship…” Shen Hebei looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Lu Ye didn't say anything, his eyes fell on an exhaust fan in the corner of the wall that looked like part of a ventilation system.
The exhaust fan shell is shiny and the blades are made of special alloy.
He walked over and tentatively placed his hand on the exhaust fan, muttering to himself.
break down.
[System prompt: Decomposition target 'Damaged luxury cruise ship exhaust fan'...]
[Obtain: Rotten Wood Board x2]
Looking at the two broken wooden boards with rotten edges and musty smell that appeared out of thin air on the workbench, Lu Ye's pupils suddenly shrank!
Rotten wood?! A brand new, high-end alloy exhaust fan, but when it's disassembled, it's just rotten wood?!
Something is wrong...very wrong!
There's definitely something weird about this ship!
Besides, where was the person who sent the distress signal before?
Among those noisy new players, there was no voice of those who had been asking for help!
"Hebei! Let's go!"
Lu Ye acted decisively, grabbed the still dazed Shen Hebei, turned around and rushed outside, not even bothering to touch the two rotten wooden boards, and just threw them where they were.
Their decisive departure immediately attracted the attention of other players who were busy shopping.
"Huh? Why did those two people leave?"
"Maybe he's a coward, scared by the size of this ship?"
"It's better if they leave! There are two less people to snatch our things from us! Haha!"
"That's right! This ship is obviously a bonus from the system. Only a fool would leave if they didn't want the free supplies!"
The laughter came from behind, but Lu Ye turned a deaf ear to it and walked faster.
In his opinion, the strange aura emanating from this ship was far more dangerous than any known monster.
However, just as they were about to return to the edge of the deck, a cautious-looking young man in his early twenties quickly caught up with them.
He was holding a small bag of compressed biscuits and a bottle of water in his hands, and looked a little out of breath.
"Wait! Big brother!" The young man stopped Lu Ye and handed over the supplies in his hand with a very humble attitude.
"My name is Xu Yu. I think you guys seem to have discovered something. Could you please tell me? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Lu Ye glanced at him and then looked at what he was holding.
This kid has some good sense.
He is not a fool to be able to remain cautious in such an environment and know how to exchange supplies for intelligence.
"Someone here sent out a distress signal before, but now they are gone."
Lu Ye said briefly and didn't take his things. "You decide for yourself."
Xu Yu's expression changed instantly when he heard this.
He was not a fool and immediately understood the subtext of Lu Ye's words - a person who sent out a distress signal disappeared on a large ship that looked intact. What did this mean?
"Thanks for the reminder, big brother!" Xu Yu no longer hesitated and turned around immediately. "I'll leave first! I'll observe outside first!"
Looking at Xu Yu's hurriedly leaving back, Lu Ye did not stay any longer, and he and Shen Hebei quickly slid back to the boat along the rope.
The other players who stayed on the cruise ship became even more excited when they saw Lu Ye and Xu Yu had left. They thought that there were fewer competitors, so they sped up their search and the clanging sounds became louder.
Some people have even started working together to pry open the tightly closed engine compartment door on the bottom floor, believing that something more valuable might be hidden there.
But just when the boat was only a few dozen meters away from the cruise ship——
"roar--!!!"
A dull, suppressed roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the white cruise ship!
It sounded as if some huge and heavy living creature was moving and wriggling at high speed in the metal pipes inside the hull!
Next second!
“Ahhhh!! Help!!!”
A shrill and distorted scream suddenly came from the deck of the cruise ship!
A player who had just removed the navigation radar and was about to carry it away suddenly froze!
A metal pipe as thick as a bucket, which was originally fixed on the side of the ship, suddenly bounced up, bent, and tightly wrapped around his waist like a giant steel python that came to life!
The player didn't even have time to drop the radar in his arms before he was suddenly pulled by the metal pipe!
“Crack!”
With his last desperate scream, he was dragged into a dark ventilation duct entrance nearby and disappeared!
Only the heavy radar was left, which fell to the deck with a clang, spinning and making a harsh noise...
The end of the animated metal pipe did not retract immediately after dragging the player into the dark vent.
After a moment of dead silence, a sticky, dark red liquid mixed with indistinguishable minced meat and internal organs slowly flowed out from the black hole of the pipe.
A small pool of blood spread across the smooth deck, emitting a strong stench of blood and decay.
