Xiong Ren had just received "benefits" from the "Breaking Waves", which was noticed by many people with ulterior motives.
At this moment, the instinct for survival overwhelmed the fear of Lu Ye. Several small boats, like sharks smelling blood, trembled and moved towards the "Wave Breaker" against the increasingly dense sea ice.
The leader was a tall, thin man. He held up a small pile of ten iron blocks, which were obviously collected from various ships, and forced a nearly twisted smile on his face.
"Brother, help us! We've only collected ten pieces of iron! Please have mercy on us and give us some medicine and food! We're freezing to death!"
Coughing and groaning came from the boat behind him.
Through the thin morning mist, Lu Ye could even see a woman wrapped in thick rags on one of the small boats, her belly bulging unnaturally, and the person next to her anxiously stuffing something into her mouth.
"We on the boat... really can't hold on any longer," the tall and thin man cried, almost kneeling in the cold sea water.
"They are all old, weak, and sick... They are only a month old and will soon die... Please, please, save us!"
Lu Ye looked at the woman with a bulging belly, his brows twisted into a knot.
A pregnant woman?! How many days into this doomsday survival game? In this awful weather, in this awful place, and still expecting a baby?!
Is this really a big deal, or is he really desperate?
He was speechless and too lazy to complain about this fucked up world.
He had a blank expression on his face and gestured to Xiao Yiyi to take the pitifully few ten pieces of iron. Then, he took out exactly three portions of medicine powder packed in small sealed bags from the waterproof medicine bag handed to him by Chen Shu and threw them over.
"Yes. Only medicine."
The group of people were overjoyed and expressed gratitude profusely, hurriedly distributing the only three doses of medicine.
However, just when they had just moved a short distance apart and had not had time to discuss how to distribute the three doses of medicine to more patients, Lu Ye's cold voice rang out, without any emotion.
"Engine start! Maximum power! Let's go!"
"boom--!"
The engine of the "Wavebreaker" let out a low and powerful roar, the sturdy hull shook violently, and the bow easily crushed the thin ice that was blocking the front and rushed towards the distant sea!
The speed was astonishingly fast, leaving behind only a broken ice road and waves, as well as a few small boats struggling hard in the cold wind and sea ice.
“Leave…leave?!”
"This ship...this power! It's not afraid of ice at all!"
"Just now I thought they were going to be trapped too, but they just left as soon as they wanted, like it was a piece of cake!"
"No wonder they dare to ask such a high price and only give such a small amount of medicine... This player is not from the same dimension at all!"
Some people looked at the rapidly disappearing back of the "Break the Wave" and couldn't help but murmur.
"As expected of a big boss who survived the second round of Easter eggs... This ship, this style of doing things... Tsk tsk, too cruel."
After shaking off the troubles that could not be shaken off, Lu Ye returned to the cabin which was as warm as spring. Chen Shu handed him a cup of hot black tea.
He took it, raised his wrist, and activated the screen of the gaming bracelet.
A glaring red message popped up: [Warning! The current ambient temperature has dropped to -10°C! The sea is freezing rapidly, please pay attention to the safety of the ship!]
He looked out of the porthole.
In just a short while since I left, the floating ice on the sea has connected together in large pieces, forming a vast ice area, with only a few waterways still flowing.
Some small, crude vehicles have been completely frozen on the ice, like insects in amber, unable to move.
[Regional Channel] At this moment, it has completely turned into a living hell:
"Help! The ship is frozen! It can't move at all! Who has coal?! I'll trade all my supplies for it!!"
"The wood is all burned! It's going to freeze into popsicles! Please give me coal! Coal! Light a fire!!"
"@All members, urgently purchase all fuel! Coal first! Firewood! Alcohol! Anything is fine! Without a heat source, we're all going to die here!!"
"It's over... It's completely over..."
Looking at the widespread grief on the channel, the despair almost overflowing through the screen, but Lu Ye's eyes remained calm.
He took a sip of hot tea slowly, then with a thought, he opened his [System Warehouse] interface.
His eyes swept across the dazzling array of supply icons, and finally stopped at an inconspicuous box icon marked with "???" - this was something he had obtained when opening a supply box before, but had not had time to check it out.
He casually clicked [Open].
[System prompt: Congratulations, you have opened the "Winter Warmth Supply Box" and received 10 large boxes of "High-quality Coal"!]
In an instant, an empty corner in the warehouse interface was filled with ten large wooden boxes that almost reached the "ceiling" of the warehouse. The words "first-class high-quality coal" and a burning flame logo were clearly printed on the boxes.
Ten boxes of high-quality coal! In this icy and snowy despair, this is more valuable than gold!
Lu Ye looked at the mountain of wooden boxes in the system warehouse, and couldn't help but smile slightly. A timely help?
No, this is a life-threatening situation in the snow!
His gaze did not linger for long, and his mind swept across the warehouse again.
Since he was so lucky in opening boxes, why not... As soon as the thought came to his mind, he selected [Open] for all the ordinary supply boxes released by the game system that he had collected previously but had not had time to deal with.
