"Woo... Woo... Woo..." Someone collapsed first, squatting on the cold ice with his head in his hands, crying loudly.
"It's over... the boat can't get across... and we can't go back..."
"I'm freezing to death here... woooo..."
The crying soon spread, and the whole place was filled with gloom and sorrow.
Xiong Ren, who had just stepped onto the deck, looked back and saw this scene and couldn't help scratching his head.
"Xiaoya, look, Master Lu is such a kind-hearted person. Look how sadly they're crying. They must be regretting offending Master Lu just now. Now that Master Lu has let them go, they're filled with gratitude!"
A hint of doubt appeared on Xiong Xiaoya's pale face, but looking at her brother's determined look, she nodded weakly.
My brother is right, Master Lu... is a good man.
When Lu Ye heard Xiong Ren's interpretation full of "positive energy", he staggered and almost fell.
Good man...this train of thought is so clear and stupid...
Never mind, as long as he is happy.
"Xiao Yiyi, set the route, due north, and go at full speed!" Lu Ye gave the order without further delay.
"receive!"
The engine of the Wavebreaker roared, and the bow broke through the thin ice. Like a giant steel beast, it quickly sailed towards the sea in the north that was full of unknowns and opportunities.
The Wavebreaker was moving at an extremely fast speed, constantly overtaking other survivors who were struggling on the ice.
Most people's initial rafts or simple boats had their engines completely shut down or run out of fuel in the low temperature of more than 40 degrees below zero.
They could only wrap themselves tightly in thin clothes, shivering with cold, using simple tools to chisel away the thin ice around the side of the ship, and paddling slowly like a snail with homemade wooden oars or simply with their hands, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
The cold wind blew like a knife, and everyone's face was covered with frozen snot and frost, and their eyes were numb and desperate.
And in this moving "frozen hell" scene, the Breaking Waves was like a black lightning, creating an extremely strong visual impact!
Lu Ye, wrapped in thick cold-proof clothes, stood leisurely at the side of the boat. Next to him was a portable brazier that was burning brightly, making him feel warm.
From time to time, he would pick up the thermos next to him and take a sip of hot tea, which formed a sharp contrast with the players outside who were struggling to survive and rowing miserably.
The Breakers roared past them, and the wind and snow it brought made those people even more miserable.
Is this the difference... Lu Ye felt the cold wind blowing on his face and the warmth of the brazier, without any ripples in his heart.
Either become stronger or be eliminated, the rules of the game are simple and crude.
As we got closer to the target sea area, the floating ice on the sea surface began to decrease, and we could faintly hear the roar of real waves coming from the distance, which was obviously different from the roar of real waves that was clearly different from the shattering ice.
Lu Ye turned around and looked at Xiong Ren who was standing behind him like a loyal guard.
He took out the three skill scrolls glowing blue from the supply box and handed them over.
"Here, upgrade your [Explosion] skill."
Xiong Ren was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened instantly when he looked at the three blue scrolls that looked extraordinary!
He knows how precious this thing is!
Those people were fighting for the fragments and their heads were bleeding!
"Master Lu! This is too valuable! I..."
Xiong Ren was a little incoherent and his face turned red with excitement.
"Take it." Lu Ye's tone left no room for doubt.
"The sea ahead may be dangerous, and you may encounter some clueless individuals. Your skills have been upgraded, and they will come in handy at critical moments."
He patted Xiong Ren's thick shoulders with a sharp look in his eyes.
"Remember, from now on, if you encounter anyone who dares to provoke us or blocks our way, don't hesitate, just—"
Lu Ye made a gesture of pressing down into the air.
"—bomb him!"
Xiong Ren's heart warmed up, and a sense of belonging instantly filled his chest!
He nodded vigorously and held the three blue scrolls tightly in his hands!
"Don't worry, Master Lu!" Xiong Ren patted his chest loudly.
"I, Xiong Ren, promise to complete the mission you assign to me! Whoever dares to stand in your way will be the first to be blown to the sky!"
Well... the momentum is there, but could the lines be a little more... subtle?
The corners of Lu Ye's mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, a modified ship with a rather peculiar shape appeared on the sea in front of the Breaking Waves. Judging from its tonnage and materials, it had obviously undergone a lot of upgrades.
There were several people standing on the boat, led by a man wearing a windbreaker, goggles and an upright posture.
He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When he saw the Breaking Wave approaching, he took the initiative to send out flag signals, indicating that it should come closer.
The Breaker slowly slowed down.
Seeing this, the man spoke loudly, his voice clearly transmitted through the cold wind:
"Is that the captain of the 'Break the Waves'? I'm Li Yuntian, a former contracted adventurer for 'Blue Star Geography' and a graduate of the Management Department of C University. I've basically figured out the situation in this area and have organized a group of capable survivors."
He took off his goggles, revealing a handsome face. He looked directly at Lu Ye, his tone full of confidence.
"My friend, I know your ship is powerful. But in these dangerous waters, it's not wise to fight alone. Trust my professional judgment and organizational experience. Listening to me is the right choice."
Listening to Li Yuntian's self-satisfied speech, Lu Ye leaned leisurely on the cold metal railing with one hand, raised the other hand, and casually fanned it in front of his nose, as if to dispel some unpleasant smell.
This guy's introduction is even more smelly and long than an old lady's foot binding.
Lu Ye complained silently in his heart.
Still an adventurer signed by Blue Star Geography?
Department of Management at C University?
What's the point of a degree these days? Can it just make you a living or stop a bullet?
Li Yuntian obviously caught the fleeting impatience on Lu Ye's face, but he forced himself to suppress his anger, straightened the collar of his jacket that was a little messy due to the cold wind, and maintained what he thought was his "elite demeanor".
"It seems that Your Excellency does not agree with my point of view."
Li Yuntian's eyes behind the glasses narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of arrogance.
"Well, we have different ideals and different plans. I never bother with short-sighted barbarians."
As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at his temple, putting on an unfathomable gesture, and his tone was full of almsgiving advice.
"In this cruel sea, the only way to survive is here."
He nodded his head.
"Knowledge, strategy, leadership! I know everything about astronomy and geography. It might be a bit exaggerated, but under my leadership, my team members can live longer and better than others!"
Phew…you know everything about astronomy and geography…why don’t you go to heaven?
Lu Ye almost laughed out loud.
He looked Li Yuntian up and down, then glanced at the so-called "team members" on the modified boat behind him who had sallow faces and evasive eyes.
"Oh?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, his tone full of undisguised sarcasm.
"Really? But I see... you and your people, it seems like you can't even take care of yourselves, right?"
