When danger comes, everyone has different choices.
The arrogant director yells and runs away. The silent intern stops being submissive and runs and knocks the leader who harassed him.
The strong cameraman grew up watching heroic movies. He is so scared that he can't help but have the courage of a superhero. He picks up a chair and throws it at the monster.
The tentacles dodge flexibly and don't bother him. Instead, they chase after the fleeing people.
The more they ran, the more excited it became. It suddenly dived and rolled the director into its mouth. The suction cup bulged and sucked. In a few seconds, the man became a dry corpse like Jenny.
Many people have seen dry corpses, but no one has seen an acquaintance around them turn into a bag of skin and bones in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!" The remaining rationality began to dissipate.
Jian Jing moved her wrists. She usually practiced shooting - of course this is the most useful in modern society - cold weapons are rarely used, and she doesn't know how to use them. But at this time, hot weapons cannot be used indiscriminately. The ship was already in danger. If it was bombed by bombs and guns, the monster would die and they would sink into the sea.
"Get out of the way!" She shouted to remind them, and took a run and jumped.
The tentacles are huge and terrifying, but their size is both an advantage and a weakness.
It is impossible to dodge completely.
Jian Jing did not chase the tail in front, but chose a good position to strike with a knife.
Blood spurted out. The weapons produced by the system are powerful and sharp. Chopping the tentacles is as refreshing and crisp as chopping squid.
However, Jian Jing recalled the touch of the first knife. Compared with the previous one, it was the difference between cutting meat and cutting tofu.
It is getting stronger.
"We can't let it eat people again." Jian Jing said to the few people who did not run away, "Chop it up."
Andrei, a Russian bear... no, a Russian, a shooting athlete, who likes to pet bears. He is a typical Russian man.
When he evacuated, he did not forget to bring his bow and arrow (why would he bring this to a reality show? What if he was the murderer in turn?).
He wrapped a rag around the arrow, took out half a bottle of liquor from his bag, poured it on, and lit it with a lighter.
He drew his bow and shot the arrow.
"Whoosh", a ball of fire fell on the monster's body.
The flesh and blood peeled off again, like some strange skin ritual, and the thing wrapped in the tentacles shot out like a frightened snake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's afraid of fire!" Andre announced loudly, "Lead it to the oil warehouse!"
"What about the boat?" As a martial arts actor, Wu Lie may not have outstanding actual combat skills, but his teacher taught him chivalry, so there is no way he can leave alone.
Jian Jing made up her mind: "Use the oil tank to kill it, and the others get on the lifeboats first - are there enough?"
"No." Jin Lan'er came out from nowhere and screamed, "I heard them say that many lifeboats can't be used!"
"What?!" Everyone changed color, "Then let's hurry up."
"It has the characteristics of a squid and can move underwater. Once we abandon the boat and escape, we will surely die." Jian Jing thought it through, "We must kill it before running away. Who is willing to stay?"
Jiang Baiyan said without hesitation: "I'll stay."
"No." She said quickly, "You can't all stay. In case we fail to jump into the sea in the end, there must be a lifeboat willing to save people."
These words made everyone pale again.
Kojima Wataru asked, "You mean, they might not let us get on the boat?"
"No one answered the phone calls for help before." Jenny looked like a fool who was ready to sacrifice. There must be something wrong with the program team. In comparison, the equally unlucky guests were more credible. "There was also a problem with the lifeboat. We can't help but think about it."
Jian Jing looked at several familiar faces and said, "Xiaobai, you go with Kojima and Jin Lan'er and try to get a lifeboat for us."
Jiang Baiyan took a look at these people and understood.
He was considered one of his own, and he would fight for her no matter how extreme the situation was. Jin Lan'er and Kojima Wataru came from wealthy families and had a deep background. The mastermind behind the scenes must have some concerns.
"Okay." He agreed immediately.
"I don't want to stay here." Liu Xiuzhi's face turned pale, "I want to go too."
"No one will stop you." Jian Jing looked at Kumiko, Valeria and Zhang Xueer, "But ladies come first."
Valeria and Jin Laner supported each other and did not refuse. She has two children and has been divorced from her husband for a long time, so she didn't dare to stay.
Zhang Xueer also said ashamedly: "My hands and feet are weak now, and I may not be able to help."
"Protecting yourself is helping."
She looked grateful.
Terauchi Kumiko said: "I have learned karate, maybe I can help."
"Okay." Jian Jing urged others, "Make a decision quickly, leave immediately if you want to leave, you can't afford to delay."
In the end, Li Kangna, Ishikawa Keito, and Linnaer all wanted to leave, and Park Minzhe and Raj were willing to help.
The lifeboat was at the stern on the seventh floor. Most people had gone there during the commotion. I guess the tentacles were eating a buffet there.
Jian Jing asked the others to go to the eighth floor and go down directly from there.
"The monster's body should be on the ninth floor." She explained the situation to her companions, "It can grow by eating, both in size and intelligence, so we must make a quick decision."
Park Min-cheol asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
"I don't know." Jian Jing lied, "Let's kill it first."
"Do we really need to use the oil bunker?" Wu Lie was worried, "If it explodes like this, the boat will definitely capsize. What about the other people who can't get on the lifeboat?"
This is also a problem that Jian Jing is worried about: "Let's see if we can kill the main body first, and we can't blow it up together."
Surviving at sea is certainly miserable, but it is better than being sucked dry by the monster. At least you can jump down.
However, at this time, the center of gravity of the body shifted, and everyone fell to one side uncontrollably.
"The boat is going to capsize?!" Raji's face was pale.
"The center of gravity is off." Park Min-cheol leaned against the wall, "Is the monster going that way?"
Jian Jing was also worried about this and quickly climbed to the ninth floor, but she couldn't get up.
After a few minutes, the tentacles had grown to an extremely exaggerated extent, blocking most of the passages on the ninth floor. The walls were covered with mucus, making it difficult to walk.
In desperation, Jian Jing spent another 5 special contribution points to unlock an axe form.
When he chopped it down, the skin was indeed tougher, and it took some effort to cut through the skin and flesh. When the blade came into contact with it, he could also feel the obstruction and stagnation of the mucus.
"Unbelievable." Others also hurried up and were shocked when they saw this corridor that looked like a den of dragons and tigers. "What on earth is this thing?"
Jian Jing: "Never mind, burn it."
Several people worked together in a hurry, using wooden tables and chairs as fuel, expensive red wine and white wine as bait, and no archery was needed to burn it.
After all their efforts, they finally broke this section of the tentacle into pieces.
"Fortunately, this guy is a big guy, so it's not difficult to deal with him." Raji breathed a sigh of relief.
At present, it seems that the most dangerous part is the tail (or the head). Although the other parts of the trunk are large and bloated, they have no power to fight back, and it is not difficult to solve it with tools.
But Kumiko Terauchi stepped back, her face tense: "No, look!"
The flesh on both sides of the wound kept squirming, and the flesh was squeezed and solidified layer by layer until it became a familiar point.
The two wounds turned into two tails, and the weird suction cups were like goose bumps, popping out one by one.
Andre cursed and shouted: "Run!"
The others quickly retreated, and only Jian Jing picked up the stick on the ground. The flames had been extinguished by the blood, leaving only the burnt part.
She lit the lighter in her hand.
[Name: Special Card Red and White Lighter]
[Description: A red and white series item that is extremely difficult to damage and can be ignited even in harsh environments. It is suitable for a variety of extreme situations and the flame is not easy to extinguish. It can be remotely controlled by the red and white keys: red key ignites, white key extinguishes, effective distance: 100 meters in diameter, requires 5 special points.]
[Note: Fire can save people, but it can also kill people, please do not do evil]
The flame ignites the wooden stick, and a burst of flames rises.
The tentacle shrinks in fear, but Jian Jing takes a step forward and without hesitation turns on the white kitten state again, relying on the powerful jumping power of the cat family to jump up.
It immediately mobilized its trunk, imitating the movements of a snake, trying to wrap itself around her.
Jian Jing cut it off with her backhand, and at the same time turned on the aiming card, and her insensitive left hand also threw out the torch accurately.
The flame burned the wound.
The tentacles twisted the body and squeezed the blood in the body to put out the fire. But the special cards produced by the system are very powerful. Although covered with layers of mucus, the flame still burned stubbornly.
The wound finally broke again.
This time, its regeneration speed was not so fast.
Jian Jing took a breath, but she was still not optimistic: At present, the monster's body is the thing that Jenny worshipped, and it is still on the ninth floor. But it is definitely not easy to break through the many obstacles and solve the problem of the body.
After all, she is a human being, she will get tired and exhausted, but monsters can survive by eating living things.
After eating all the humans, there are plenty in the sea.
Fry them up.
She turned around and went downstairs to discuss with others: "How can we lure it to the oil warehouse?"
"Can we lure it with food?" asked Kumiko Terauchi.
Jian Jing: "Yes, it also eats fish."
"Who wants to eat dead ones when there are living ones?" said Park Min-cheol.
Raji: "Don't worry about that. When everyone leaves, we will become bait."
"Raj is right." Jian Jing thought, "Let's go to the kitchen first and lure it down with raw meat. Then you stay away and prepare to jump into the sea. I'll go and light the fire."
Terauchi Kumiko said, "I think this is not safe enough. If only a part of it is blown up, it may not die."
Jian Jing: "Then pour fuel on the upper floor."
"Okay."
Time is tight and there is no time to think carefully. After roughly finalizing the plan, everyone is busy.
Raji and Andre are responsible for moving the oil. There is enough fuel in the fuel tank, but it cannot be operated by computer. It must be pumped manually, which takes some time.
After successfully obtaining the fuel, they carried large and small barrels to the seventh floor and sprinkled them - the monster swelled again, and they could no longer go up to the eighth floor. They had to sprinkle the fuel in flammable areas as much as possible, especially at the entrances to the passages, to block the tentacles' retreat in advance.
Jian Jing, Wu Lie, and Terauchi Kumiko had all learned a few tricks and were more flexible, so they moved the meat from the kitchen freezer and sprinkled it in the corridor area to lure the tentacles to eat.
This job was a little more dangerous, as the monster might smell the smell at any time and catch up in advance.
To prevent any accidents, Jian Jing specially brought a barrel of oil and sprinkled it in areas such as the staircase entrance, intending to ignite it if there was any danger, creating a chance for others to escape.
However, it was Raj and Andre who were the first to encounter danger.
They met the lone screenwriter on the sixth floor.
"Hey, help me." The screenwriter called them and limped, "I'm injured, wait for me."
