"vomit--!"
"What the hell is that?!"
“Run! Run! Run!!!”
On the deck and in the cabin, the players who were still frantically looting were instantly awakened from their greedy excitement!
Amidst the chaos, there were a few slightly calmer players trying to squeeze out the last bit of value before escaping.
They grabbed the most valuable-looking objects around them and tried to activate the decomposition function of their survival system, converting them into supplies that could be stuffed into their pockets.
[System prompt: Decomposition target 'Contaminated Navigation Clock'...]
[Obtain: Rubble x3]
[System prompt: Decomposition target 'Alienated display screen fragments'...]
[Obtain: Moldy Sand x1]
Looking at the worthless garbage that appeared on the workbench, the blood color on the faces of those players instantly faded away!
The last bit of hope in his eyes turned into complete despair!
They're all fake!
This ship is a trap inside and out!
A giant, man-eating monster!
However, it was too late.
"Swish!" The originally sturdy metal railing on the side of the ship suddenly twisted like a poisonous snake, and the sharp broken end directly cut a running player in half!
His upper body flew a long distance, and his lower body ran two steps due to inertia before falling to the ground with a bang.
"Ah! My hand!" Another player just grabbed the hanging cable and prepared to slide down, but the cable suddenly tightened and rotated, instantly breaking his wrist like a noose!
The decorative metal pieces on the ceiling shot down like darts, piercing the chest of a player who was trying to hide behind the bar!
The decorative picture frame on the wall suddenly popped out, and the metal edge cut off half of a player's head like a guillotine!
Everything that originally seemed luxurious and harmless has now turned into a deadly weapon!
This is no longer a ship, but a living nest full of predator traps!
But in just one or two minutes, most of the people who were still able to move on the deck disappeared.
Those who managed to reach the side of the ship but failed to jump into the sea to escape immediately were either caught and dragged away by the tentacle-like pipes that suddenly extended out, or had their hands and feet cut off by bone spurs that popped out from the cracks in the hull, and died from excessive blood loss while wailing in despair.
The entire white cruise ship fell into an eerie silence again.
Immediately afterwards, under the horrified gaze of everyone on the ship, the "brand new" cruise ship began to undergo horrific changes.
The gorgeous white hull peeled off and flowed like melted wax, revealing the rotten hull underneath that was already rusted, full of holes and slime!
The smooth deck became pitted, covered with moss and pus-like swellings!
Those metal parts that originally looked like pipes, railings, and vents now revealed their hideous true appearance - they were the twisted limbs, shells, and mouthparts of some giant marine creatures, strangely coexisting with the dilapidated hull!
Countless tiny, horrifically mutated marine creatures crawled and squirmed on the surface of the ship like maggots.
In the shadows of the deck and the cabin, several slightly larger monsters with limbs and compound eyes were lying on the incomplete corpses of the players, making "crunching" sounds and tearing the flesh with big mouthfuls!
How can this be called a luxury cruise ship?
This is clearly a giant stitched monster that uses an abandoned ship as its shell, disguised as a treasure, and specifically designed to lure prey!
A mobile, living cemetery at sea!
"Ugh..." Chen Hebei couldn't hold it in any longer. He lay on the side of the boat and retched violently, his stomach churning.
Xiao Yiyi and Su Baiyue also turned pale, covered their mouths tightly, and their eyes were full of fear and disgust.
Even Shen Shu frowned and looked away.
Witnessing this hellish scene, other ships on the sea near and far that had originally planned to approach screamed and turned their heads, fleeing this death zone as quickly as possible.
Lu Ye rolled his throat and forced himself to suppress the discomfort.
He glanced at the "monster ship" whose true appearance had been completely revealed, then looked at his own ship, which was not big but very safe, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The bet was right! Luckily I ran fast!
This damn survival game is full of traps!
"Lu...Brother Lu..." Shen Hebei spat out until his face turned pale and his voice was shaking. He swiped the public channel and team channel on the system panel with trembling fingers. "When we went in just now, I took a look at the player's avatar who sent the distress signal and it was still lit!"
There was fear in his eyes after surviving a disaster.
"Until just now! After the ship returned to its original state! His portrait, and those of the guys who died on the ship... their portraits all turned gray! Together!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the cabin seemed to freeze.
What did this mean? Did it mean that the 'ship', or rather the monster, could even interfere with the system's judgment before it was completely exposed?!
Or, was it deliberately maintaining a certain 'illusion' so that those trapped didn't actually die, in order to attract more prey?!
The more Shen Hebei thought about it, the more scared he became, and his teeth were chattering:
"This...this ship is too shady, right?! There are traps everywhere! We just...almost..."
Lu Ye patted his shoulder, his tone unusually calm.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here, so why panic?"
He grinned, showing his white teeth, and lowered his voice.
"My identity can keep you safe, brother, believe in me and you will have eternal life."
Although the specific effect of the talent [Lucky Guy] is still unclear, my intuition tells me that it is definitely not as simple as just being lucky when opening boxes.
The palpitations and warning signs just now are probably part of my talent.
Lu Ye thought to himself, but he naturally would not say it too clearly. Keeping a little mystery would help stabilize the morale of the army.
The immediate crisis has been temporarily resolved, but the sense of urgency has not disappeared.
There are less than four days left until the next "easter egg" arrives, but the consumption of ammunition has far exceeded expectations.
Lu Ye quickly took inventory of the existing supplies.
The high-efficiency fuel cells will be enough for a while, and there will be no shortage of food and fresh water for the time being, but the shells... especially the powerful high-explosive shells, were consumed a lot in the fight against the black slime monsters and deterrence just now. The semi-finished chemical reagents on Su Baiyue's side still need time to be converted, and the raw materials are also limited.
The fear of insufficient firepower has struck again.
Ammunition must be replenished as soon as possible, or new powerful weapons must be found.
His gaze once again turned to the magical "Alien Express System".
"Yiyi," Lu Ye looked at Xiao Yiyi who was quietly packing her things.
"Please work harder and prepare two decent dishes. Hebei, go to the public channel and make an announcement. The same rules apply: two plates of 'Homemade Stir-fried Vegetables' in exchange for ten unopened supply boxes. The locations are still the same three. Valid for fifteen minutes."
Although it seems a bit of a loss to exchange carefully cooked food for a supply box full of uncertainty, it is currently the most efficient and relatively safe way to replenish.
