In order to lose a tiny bit of weight, some people began to frantically throw the food, fresh water, and even the weapons, equipment, and building materials they had just obtained, which they had collected with great difficulty, into the sea.
Various debris floated on the sea.
What is even more chilling is that the bloodiest and ugliest infighting has broken out in some medium-sized kayaks or small boats struggling on the edge of the whirlpool!
Lu Ye even caught a complaint in the rapidly scrolling channel information.
"You bastard! Boss Liu, you beast! He said the fewer people there were, the lighter the boat was, and the greater the chance of survival! He...he actually pushed Ali overboard!!"
Then, a cold system prompt mercilessly popped up:
[Warning: The distance between player 'Ride the Wind and Waves' and his teammate 'Ali 666' exceeds the safe range (100 meters), triggering the 'Betrayal Punishment' and electric shock execution!]
Humph, you want to survive by sacrificing your teammates? Losing that little bit of weight is useless!
The system is quite understanding of human nature. It electrocutes the person to death directly to avoid dirtying my eyes.
Lu Ye sneered in his heart.
This cold rule instantly put an end to the thoughts of some scumbags.
He quickly glanced at the surrounding sea. Even with the engines roaring to the limit and the oars breaking, those weak little boats were still inevitably being dragged into the abyss.
There's no hope.
These little broken boats are doomed even if you step on the accelerator and fill the fuel tank.
The power, tonnage and hull strength are so far apart!
Lu Ye made a quick judgment.
He took a deep breath, and with all his strength, he shouted towards the cockpit below, his voice cutting through the wind and the roar of the engine:
"Chen Shu! Forget about consumption! Connect all our spare fuel! Overload the energy core! Increase the firepower to maximum! Only by rushing out can we survive!"
His loud voice was unusually clear in the chaotic sea, and even reached several nearby small boats that were still struggling in vain.
Someone immediately noticed the relatively large steel monster, the Wavebreaker, on the regional channel:
"Look at that huge ship! The Wavebreaker! Humph! What's the point of having a big ship? It's bound to consume fuel the fastest! Once the fuel runs out, they'll die even faster!"
"That's right! This iron lump sinks quickly! It will definitely be the first one to be sucked in and take our place!"
A bunch of idiots who are still barking like dogs when they are about to die!
Lu Ye didn't bother to pay attention. All his attention was focused on the terrifying whirlpool behind him and the condition of the ship.
However, just when Lu Ye thought the situation would continue to deteriorate until they ran out of fuel, he keenly sensed a subtle change.
As the terrifying hole in the sea behind continued to expand, it swallowed up more ships that were unable to escape in time.
Lu Ye suddenly discovered that the overwhelming drag on the "Breaking Waves" seemed to have weakened a bit?!
Although it was still strong enough to make the ship creak, it was indeed a little weaker than the terrifying force that almost tore the ship apart and suffocated people!
That’s right! An idea flashed through Lu Ye’s mind!
The hole becomes bigger and the suction range expands, just like a water pipe becomes thicker, so the water pressure may actually decrease?
Or were the swallowed ships temporarily "feeding" it?
Filling its 'appetite', thereby diversifying the 'pull intensity' on our single target? !
This may be the only ray of hope in this desperate situation!
Out of consideration for the other players struggling to survive, and also to verify his own judgment, Lu Ye did not hide anything.
He quickly slid down from the mast, rushed back to the deck, and immediately sent a short but crucial message on the regional channel:
"Everyone, pay attention! As the vortex expands, the suction strength has weakened slightly! This could be due to the ships being swallowed, causing the pressure to disperse! Hold on! There's still a chance! Don't give up!"
The channel that was on the verge of collapse was silent for a moment, and then burst into ecstasy!
"Is this true?! I feel like the ship isn't shaking as much anymore!"
"Thanks for the reminder, sir! The Wavebreaker boss is awesome!"
"Wavebreaker! I'll remember you, sir! As long as you can survive this time, I'll definitely repay you when the chance arises!"
The sudden hope rekindled the fighting spirit of many players who were on the verge of giving up.
The Easter egg event starts two hours later.
There is more and more debris floating on the sea.
But after experiencing the initial peak of panic, those who survived gradually began to adapt to this rhythm of tug-of-war with death.
The instinct to survive overrides everything.
More players became more pragmatic and ruthless. They chose to "cut off the tail to survive" - throwing all the unopened supply boxes that were not needed temporarily, took up space, and increased the weight of the ship into the rough sea, just hoping that their boat could be a little lighter and a little faster, even if it could only buy one more second of life.
These boxes, which are a nuisance and a burden in the eyes of others, are like gold ingots shining in the dark night in Lu Ye's eyes!
"Chen Shu!" Lu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. When he was sharing the information just now, he had noticed several boxes floating on the nearby sea.
"See? Over there! And over there! That's all other people's trash! Get ready! Pull out those boxes! Quick!"
Out of trust in Lu Ye, Chen Shu immediately activated the salvage device installed at the stern of the ship on the console.
Soon, several thick-looking metal supply boxes that were floating in the waves were accurately clamped by special mechanical claws, dragged, and slammed heavily onto the deck of the "Wavebreaker"!
Lu Ye rushed forward and used a crowbar to violently pry open one of the boxes!
Snap!
The lid of the box popped open, and the things inside shone with an attractive luster!
【Excellent Engine Accelerator Part 1】!
【Compressed biscuits 20】!
【Secondary Purification Tablet 5】!
"!" Lu Ye's eyes turned red! These are all good stuff! Especially the engine accelerator parts!
He immediately pried open a smaller box next to it!
【Iron Ingot 50】!
【Copper coil 10】!
【Small Energy Crystal 1】!
"It's rich! This is simply a boy who brings wealth!"
Lu Ye was excited.
"Everyone's trash is a treasure to us! Keep fishing! Get as much as you can!"
Lu Ye couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
You can get hard currency such as high-quality engine parts and energy crystals by picking up other people's discarded "garbage". This luck is simply incredible!
What he gained in just a few minutes was more useful than what he had collected for most of the day!
Could it be that this is a way to get some Easter eggs from the "Speed" event?
Lu Ye glanced at the system panel.
Since the start of the game, his system has automatically delivered over eighty boxes of supplies every day! Although most of them are basic supplies, it is still far more than what ordinary players can get.
He always wondered if his initial talent [Lucky Guy] had any hidden effects.
