A skinny player nodded and bowed quickly, agreeing in a flattering manner.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's all thanks to your quick reaction, Brother Jin! Otherwise, we would have been dragged down by those monsters just like that guy surnamed Lu!"
Fortunately, I ran fast, because the sound of the ice cracking was creepy!
A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of another, slightly stronger player.
"Brother Jin, that kid surnamed Lu is probably dead. His ship... looks so high-end. Even if it was destroyed by monsters, there must be a lot of good stuff left, right? After those monsters leave, should we..."
"Bang! Crack!" At this moment, the sound of ice breaking in the distance seemed to become more intense, accompanied by a dull impact sound, as if confirming their guess.
The fat on Jintang's face twitched and he grinned.
"That's right! When the noise stops, let's go back and take a look! No matter how powerful that guy is, can he really hold off hundreds of underwater monsters?! He must have been gnawed to pieces by now, both the man and the boat! His supplies are ours!"
Humph, you want to fight me? You're a bit naive! In the end, I'll be the one to get the upper hand!
They cheered each other up, completely unaware that the real "monster" did not come from the unknown, but was controlled by the young man they believed to be dead.
At the same time, next to the Breakers.
Lu Ye looked at Xiong Ren, who was still in extreme shock, and his gaze lingered on his sturdy arms for a few seconds.
This guy has a good physique. Although his brain doesn't seem to be very bright, he is honest and loyal.
That [Explosion] skill... if used properly, it's quite useful, whether it's breaking ice, clearing a path, or... clearing obstacles.
He is a qualified potential thug.
After experiencing the expressions of the Jintang gang just now, Lu Ye felt more and more that in this cruel game, reliable teammates were far more important than scheming "allies".
He patted Xiong Ren's shoulder. The guy was still trembling slightly because of the deep-sea fish's "performance" just now.
"Xiong Ren," Lu Ye's voice was calm.
"As you saw earlier, a shabby ship like the Jintang can't even protect itself, let alone others. My ship is much higher level than his. The system rules allow stronger vehicles to absorb other players as regular team members, providing protection and resource sharing."
Xiong Ren suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes widened, and his face was full of ecstasy!
"Master Lu... Master Lu!" Xiong Ren was so excited that his voice changed.
He was about to kneel down on one knee with a "thump", but Lu Ye quickly supported him.
"I'm Xiong Ren! And my sister Xiaoya! This life is yours! You tell me to go east, I won't go west! You tell me to break ice, I won't fish!"
Xiong Ren patted his chest loudly, his tone firm and full of the simplest and most steadfast loyalty.
Well, although the expression is a bit... over-the-top, the effect is pretty good.
Lu Ye was very satisfied with Xiong Ren's attitude.
He nodded, directly called up his bracelet interface, and operated in the [Team Management] module.
"Confirmed acceptance of players [Xiong Ren] and [Xiong Xiaoya] into the 'Break the Wave Survival Team'."
"Ding! Members [Xiong Ren] and [Xiong Xiaoya] have successfully joined your team."
Almost at the same time, Jintang, who had just led his men back to see if he could find any bargains, suddenly stopped!
The light screen on his bracelet automatically lit up, and a system prompt popped up that made him want to tear his eyes out!
[Warning! Your temporary team member [Xiong Ren] has been forcibly contested by Captain [Lu Ye]! Contest judgment: Based on the comprehensive strength of the vehicle and the captain's authority, [Lu Ye] wins!]
[Warning! Captain [Jintang] who fails to compete will be punished by the rules: three minutes of strong electric shock!]
"What...what?!" The fat on Jintang's face collapsed instantly, and his eyes widened like dead fish.
He hadn't even fully understood what "forced scramble" meant, he only saw the glaring word "punishment"!
Electric shock?! Three minutes?! A chill instantly shot from my tailbone to the top of my head!
“Sizzle——!!!”
A blinding blue arc of electricity suddenly erupted from the survival bracelet on Jin Tang's wrist! The current instantly spread throughout his chubby body!
“Ughh ...
Jin Tang let out a shrill scream, and his whole body began to twitch violently as if it was grasped by an invisible giant hand!
The fat was shaking irregularly, foaming at the mouth, and the eyeballs rolled up!
He stumbled and fell backwards stiffly!
“Plop!”
His heavy body slammed into the cold sea water that had just been broken open by the fish, splashing huge water!
Even more unfortunate was that when he fell, he subconsciously grabbed two of his equally stunned subordinates beside him!
"ah!"
"save…"
The two unlucky guys were also dragged into the icy water in an instant!
The strong electric current was quickly transmitted through the cold sea water. The three people were like pieces of meat on the same skewer, twitching and shivering in the water. The scene was once very "lively".
Those players who were lucky enough not to be dragged into the water, as well as other survivors who witnessed this from a distance, were all terrified and turned pale, and retreated repeatedly.
"Oh my god...this...is this what happens when you anger a powerful person?"
"Serves you right! Fatty Jin was so arrogant just now!"
"This Lu guy... not only has a powerful ship, but his methods are also extremely cruel..."
"Compared to Master Lu, Fatty Jin is nothing but a clown! His boat is inferior to his, and his brain... seems to be flawed too!"
Amidst the discussions, several players who had previously followed Jintang to bully others and later decisively "defected" hurriedly came forward again, nodded and bowed to Lu Ye, their faces filled with smiles that were uglier than crying.
"Master Lu! Master Lu! We were wrong! We were so blind to the true power! We were deceived by that idiot Fatty Jin!"
"Master Lu, please be magnanimous and forgive us this time!"
"We're here to help! Break ice! Move things! Anything!"
Lu Ye listened to these noisy pleas for mercy and only uttered a slight sound from his nose.
"hehe."
He didn't even bother to look at these people. With a slight movement of his mind, he gave orders to the underwater "engineers" again.
Fence it off.
“Crash!”
"Crack! Bang!"
The water surface surged again!
Those deep-sea fish that were just clearing the waterway, like a school of sharks that received a unified command, turned around incredibly quickly and launched a new round of [cluster collision] around the players who were still standing on the ice!
This time, they were no longer clearing a channel, but were precisely smashing the edge of the ice beneath the players' feet!
Ice chips flew everywhere! Ice fragments kept falling off!
In the blink of an eye, the ice surface under the players' feet shrank significantly and turned into a crumbling "island" surrounded by running water!
