[There are 10 seconds left before the next attack from the Ancient God of the Abyss... 9 seconds... 8 seconds...]

When there are only a dozen seconds left in the countdown to death.

The lifeboat sailed away against the wind and waves, carrying two baits, which were also the hope of the cruise ship.

Chen Bei lay on the side of the boat, letting the cold wind blow on him, and looked at the rough sea below.

A huge creature with blue light can be seen moving from right under the cruise ship, chasing after the lifeboat that had just left.

The bait plan was successful!

At least it was an initial success.

Next it depends on how far the lifeboat can go and whether the people on board will change, such as changing their minds.

The best outcome is to completely resolve the threat of the ancient gods and take them somewhere else.

The worst case scenario is just delaying the time, but the problem cannot be completely solved.

Anyway, it's safe now.

Chen Bei watched the lifeboat go away and breathed a sigh of relief.

Charlotte on the side whistled and cheered.

Long Zhan still had a sullen face and didn't react.

"Next, we need to focus on completing the game and figuring out the correct landing location. We must be sure to land!"

Chen Bei said to Long Zhan and Xia Luo beside him.

At this point in the game, the three of them have barely established a basis for cooperation.

Many times we need to act separately and cooperate with multiple people. The strength of one person alone is far from enough.

Long Zhan nodded.

Charlotte smiled and said, "That's easy to say, but the problem is that I have no clue. I even have a bad guess. I made so many satellite calls but got no response. When I approached the shore, I found it was dead. Could it be that the background of this game is the end of the world?"

"It's not impossible!"

"I've seen a TV show before with a similar plot. After the end of the world, some people were trying to survive on a boat and were afraid to go ashore. If we are in a similar situation now, it would be terrible."

"If that's the case, we can't go ashore on large pieces of land. Instead, some small islands are safer. We can go ashore on the islands and turn them into safe areas for survival."

"That makes sense! Then the next step is to see if there are any suitable islands along the route."

"Wait a minute!" Long Zhan suddenly interrupted, "If it's really as you analyzed, we shouldn't continue sailing south. The further south we go, the colder it gets, and it's not suitable for survival at all. We might as well turn around now and sail to a warmer area to find an island that's more suitable for survival."

"That makes sense. The south is the polar region and it is indeed too cold." Charlotte nodded.

"But the name of the game is Polar Voyage, and the setting is about running to cold places." Chen Bei said.

"Don't care about those bullshit settings! If we played everything according to the game settings, we would have died long ago!" Long Zhan said anxiously.

It seemed that there were differences of opinion.

Charlotte tried to smooth things over and said that they should talk to the first mate first.

Although the first mate is an NPC, his opinions are very valuable for reference. After all, he is a professional.

The group returned to the boat.

Just before entering the door, Charlotte patted Chen Bei on the shoulder and pointed to the front of the ship.

"Look, is there a shadow over there?"

Chen Bei looked over and gazed into the distance, and found that there was indeed a large object floating on the sea, and it was a cold white color.

"That's a piece of floating ice!" Chen Bei said in a deep voice.

"Oh my goodness, even floating ice has appeared. It seems that it is really cold." Charlotte said with a sigh.

The group returned to the ship, found the first mate, and held a meeting around the nautical map.

Chen Bei explained the situation and the bold guess.

After hearing this, the first mate thought it was a fantasy and could not accept it.

"What do you mean the end of the world? What do you mean a lonely boat on the sea? I think you are all crazy! Tomorrow morning, this ship will arrive at the 'Fish Harbor', which will be the end of the voyage and put an end to this terrible voyage! After landing, I will find a room with a fireplace and have a good sleep. No one is allowed to disturb me!"

The first mate reacted violently.

No matter what others said, he couldn't accept the idea of ​​the end of the world.

The reason why players can accept it quickly is because they have a lot of experience and know that anything can happen in the game.

Chen Bei himself had experienced a game specifically designed with the end of the world as its background.

Moreover, the management group confirmed this speculation, and even the administrators said that they guessed correctly.

The background of this game is indeed the end of the world, so it is difficult for cruise ships to dock and many places are dead ends.

Once we reach the shore, it's game over.

Chen Bei couldn't let that happen, so he proposed a compromise.

"The ship will continue to head for the 'fishing port' you mentioned, but before docking, we will send someone on a small boat to take a look at the shore and confirm the situation on shore before making a decision."

After hearing this, the first mate nodded solemnly and accepted the plan.

Regardless of whether this speculation is true or false, at least we have found evidence.

There is more than one lifeboat on the ship, and the remaining lifeboats can land first instead of the large ship to check the situation.

In this way, the boat continued to move forward towards the fishing port.

In the blink of an eye, it was night, it was the second night.

Just two days had passed in the game, and so much had happened.

The ship's mechanics worked hard to repair it and finally restored the heating, making the ship a little warmer.

With so many people trapped on the ship, they have all kinds of needs.

After the situation stabilized, a large number of tourists asked to go to the restaurant for meals. We couldn’t let them starve to death.

As for food, there is ample supply on board, more than enough to last for a few days.

Anyway, the game is only seven days long.

The first mate made the decision to relax the previous restrictions and resume operation of part of the ship's heating.

The restaurant has reopened.

The entire cruise ship regained some life.

Chen Bei took a short rest and then went out to explore the boat.

This cruise ship is huge and holds many secrets.

For example, the treasure house mentioned in the management group before, which contained ten game coins, has no clues now.

While the situation is stable now and there is no major chaos, it is a good opportunity to explore.

Not long after Chen Bei went out, he saw a message in the player group.

[Fuck, the ship is haunted! I just saw two kids holding hands and running through the passage, a boy and a girl, their heads were turned backwards, their bodies were running forward, but their faces were turned backwards! I was so scared!]

[Don't worry, it's just a haunted place, no big deal. Haven't you seen some players raise ghosts to help themselves? I suggest you capture those two kids and raise them, and let them take care of you in your old age.]

[I can go to your place!]

-

When Chen Bei saw these conversations, he remembered the previous trailer, in which related scenes seemed to flash.

Some things in the game are purely for scaring people and setting the mood, but they are not fatal, so there is no need to delve into them.

Hopefully that was the case with those two ghost kids.

Just as he was thinking, a chill accompanied by a scent came over and whispered in Chen Bei's ear:

"Sir, there is a strange evil spirit approaching, please be careful. Don't let anything go wrong."
