"Host, it seems we need to speed things up. Your mother is in danger!"
As soon as something happened to Lin's mother, the system immediately sent a reminder to Lin Xue.
"What happened?"
Upon hearing the system's response, Lin Xue's heart leaped into her throat.
Could it be that they were attacked by a large group of sea monsters?
She had heard on the world channel in the past two days about several incidents of hordes of sea monsters attacking survivors.
"It wasn't a sea monster attack, but it was far more terrifying than one!"
629 was getting anxious; the war between survivors was not as simple as it seemed.
One must wait until one side completely destroys the other's raft, or kills the other side with a ranged attack, before one can step onto the other's raft.
Just like the bamboo raft Lin Xue first encountered, because its owner was already dead, she was able to jump onto the other person's bamboo raft without any hindrance.
Normally, if a person wants to board another survivor's raft, they need the owner's permission; otherwise, an invisible barrier will prevent them from landing.
Therefore, Lin's mother should not be in any immediate danger. However, as time goes on, it is hard to guarantee that the man will not be unable to resist using ranged attacks or destroying Lin's mother's raft.
"Did you encounter other survivors?"
"Looks like we need to speed things up!"
Lin Xue walked towards the stern and the oars. These were oars she had made later, which could be turned by one person and had a considerable speed.
After all, the power supplied by the generator is limited, and they are usually reluctant to waste it. If it weren't for the search for Lin's mother, they would prefer to save energy by using this manual method.
"Sister, what happened? Why are you rowing the oars yourself?"
Keep in mind that the underwater thruster was already connected to the generator and running at full speed, so there was no need for them to do anything extra.
Fengling didn't know why Lin Xue had suddenly become so anxious, insisting on manually rowing the boat even with an underwater propulsion system.
"My mind is in turmoil, I have a feeling that something is about to happen!"
Lin Xue's hands kept moving. The oar she made was very large, and each swing could propel the raft forward a long distance.
When the little girl Fengling tried to row the oar, it took her a bit of effort, but when Lin Xue took the initiative, the oar in her hand was rowed quickly as if it were effortless!
"Are you worried that something might have happened to Aunt Lin? I'll send her a message right now to ask!"
Upon hearing Lin Xue's explanation, Feng Ling knew that she was worried about Aunt Lin.
But after she sent out a series of messages, she didn't receive a reply for a long time, and Fengling couldn't help but get anxious.
It is said that mothers and daughters are connected at heart. Since Sister Lin is so anxious and Aunt Lin has not replied to any messages, it seems that something has happened there.
"Sister Lin, let me row with you!"
Fengling walked to the other side of the oar, reached out and grasped the handle, and rowed the oar with Lin Xue.
Although she wasn't as strong as Lin Xue, having one more person meant having more strength.
Meanwhile, Lin's mother was dealing with that man.
If she can hold on for just half a day, her daughter will be able to come over.
When the time comes, the three of them will surely be able to handle the man in front of them.
"Big brother, I beg you, please let me go! I'll give you all the supplies, but I really can't give you the boundary marker. It's not that I don't trust you, but there have been many cases of people encroaching on others' boundary markers in the world chat, and I can't take that risk!"
Lin's mother gave the man a pleading look, and this sight made him feel incredibly pleased.
Before the world of ocean survival arrived, this man was just a bricklayer on a construction site.
No one usually respects him. Despite his tall and strong appearance, he is extremely dull-witted.
His coworkers disliked him and often teased him.
The foreman beat and verbally abused him at will, treating him like a human being.
Even his wife and children at home didn't respect him. Every time he returned home to reunite with his family, his wife always looked at him with impatience, and his children didn't get close to him either.
This left a deep wound in the man's heart and also sowed the seeds of evil.
After arriving at the Ocean Survival World, he was freed from the responsibilities of his wife and children. He didn't have to think about or do anything every day; all he had to do was salvage supplies to fill his stomach.
This kind of life, where one person is full and the whole family isn't hungry, is simply too wonderful.
Now he has met a woman who is still charming and attractive, and she is acting in a fawning manner towards him, which greatly satisfies the man's vanity.
He did not attack the other party immediately, but enjoyed the other party's obsequious attitude.
"No matter what you say, it's useless. Besides, it must be incredibly difficult for a woman like you to live on this vast ocean. Just look at the supplies on my ship, and you'll know I'm a very strong man!"
"Wouldn't it be better for two people to keep each other company and live together in this world than for one person to wander aimlessly?"
The man even tried to use sweet talk to lure the other party into surrendering. If he could swindle all the other party's supplies and people with just a few words, why would he bother to go through all the trouble of taking action?
To destroy the other party's bamboo raft, you'll have to pay a price.
Why waste his own resources when there are better methods available?
"Brother, can you give me some time to think this over? We're both adults, and every decision we make affects our fate. I need to think carefully about whether what you're saying is feasible!"
Seeing that the other party did not intend to take immediate action, Lin's mother softened her attitude, hoping to buy some more time.
If this man really makes a move, she's not afraid of him. At worst, she'll fight to the death and drag him down with her.
"Young lady, what's there to worry about? Look, this vast sea is only occupied by the two of us. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll encounter another living human!"
Wouldn't it be better if the two of us helped each other?
Since there were no supply boxes nearby, the man wasn't in a hurry to do anything. He sat on the bamboo raft and chatted with Lin's mother.
The plan is to use this method to break through the enemy's defenses, seize their resources, and take over their boundary markers.
Once the woman in front of him loses the boundary marker, she will have no choice but to depend on him for survival.
In the world of ocean survival, the strong are respected. At that time, wouldn't this woman have to obediently serve and please him?
Thinking of that scene, the corners of the man's mouth curled up even more.
Unfortunately, his imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel. He didn't notice that another, larger dark shadow was slowly approaching them.
Endless malice had already locked onto him. All that remained was for him to arrive before they utterly annihilated him!
