[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

In the dark night, the roaring sea beat the rolling waves heavily on the ship.

The seawater rushed up the sloping deck, as if it had been injected with a large amount of foaming agent, and the waves broke down into fluffy and finely divided foam.

A cruise ship as tall as a six-story building is like a fragile leaf on the vast sea level, on the verge of collapse anytime and anywhere.

Looking around, whether it is the sky or the sea, there is a black and angry void. This void seems to be omnipotent, invincible, and can swallow everything.

A terrifying gap runs across the hull in the center, and the edges of the gap are jagged, as if bitten by some huge creature.

The sea water poured in one after another, and after a while, the cruise ship was abruptly broken from it, half of the hull was quickly submerged, and the bow and stern were raised high.

The sound of wind and waves and shouts are all around my ears.

Xu Chi and the others were carried by the panicked crowd and climbed up to avoid danger.

Everyone knew that this was just a meaningless struggle, and sooner or later, the whole ship would sink to the bottom of the sea, and sooner or later they would have to confront the icy sea water.

But no one wants to give up early.

"Did you see it? What hit the boat?" Zhou Qi's breathing was rapid and disordered, and he felt a little dizzy. He didn't know if it was because of the collision just now or because of seasickness. .

"It might be... a hidden reef." Xu Chi's voice came intermittently, "but I think..."

The rest of the words were overwhelmed by the screams of the crowd, but Zhou Qi didn't hear them.

There was a heavy sigh.

The hull was completely broken, and the completely detached bow was almost at a terrible 90 degrees to the sea.

Those who had no time to take any measures fell down due to gravity at that moment, fell into the sea one after another, and were swallowed by the sea water.

Zhou Qi grabbed the railing with one hand, and held Xu Chi firmly with the other.

The salty sea breeze made him unable to open his eyes.

Jiang Yu has been pushed away by the crowd.

All kinds of prayers sounded in my ears.

Religion may really give people some unwarranted spiritual power at this time.

As time goes by.

Zhou Qi paid attention to avoiding any human bombs that might fall, because he just witnessed his buddy was hit in the head by a fat man with a very considerable weight who fell from the sky, and smashed them into the sea together.

Zhou Qi glanced down at the two-meter-high spray, feeling lingering fear.

If the fat man's free-fall course was a little bit off, he would have been hit.

However, before he finished rejoicing, another screaming head landed accurately.

This time, Zhou Qi failed to hide.

The woman grabbed his trouser leg with one hand.

At the same time, he heard a friendly conversation coming from below him.

Xu Chi: "Xiao Qiu? Why are you?"

Leng Qiu: "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! It's you! Oh my god, I'm scared to death. I'm not so excited to play high-altitude jumping machine!"

Xu Chi: "Okay, don't cry. Come on, grab it and don't let go."

Leng Qiu: "Yeah."

Zhou Qi: "..." I think the two of you should consider how I feel about my thighs.

The bow gradually sank.

Some people with weak physical strength simply pulled a piece of wood and jumped into the sea directly.

More and more people are floating on the sea, only a few are still persisting.

For a moment, the sea was filled with the light of flickering flashlights.

Around each ray of light are gathered black masses of human heads.

Zhou Qi's strength was exhausted little by little, and his muscles were so sore from being involved. He glanced down casually, and suddenly thought, if you don't let go, you will have to dance early and late.

However, Xu Chi suddenly said coldly: "That beam of light is gone."

"What?" Zhou Qi was struggling with slippery fingers.

"At three o'clock, someone was shining on us with a flashlight just now. Five or six of them shared a deck, and now the light is gone."

"What, what do you mean missing?" Leng Qiu hugged Zhou Qi's leg, his teeth chattering.

Sweat dripped down his eyelids, Zhou Qi squinted his eyes.

"What about that person?"

"People are gone too."

Suddenly, a commotion broke out on the sea.

The crowd gathered at a certain point did not know what happened to them, and they all dispersed.

The light beams flew randomly on the sea level, and people saw a dark water area dyed a strange dark red.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Someone screamed at the top of their voices, and people immediately followed the sound, but the screaming stopped abruptly.There wasn't even a shadow on the spot, only the bloody ripples swaying in circles showed that something bad happened there just now.

It was very quiet all of a sudden.

Fear choked people's breathing throat.

Zhou Qi tightened his grip on the railing even more.

There seem to be unknown monsters lurking in the bottom of the sea. They are in the dark, but we are in the light.

Xu Chi stared at the undulating sea.

"There." He whispered urgently.

In the direction he was pointing, a flesh-white wriggling tentacle was slowly approaching a lady from behind. The lady was all focused on grasping the wooden board in front of her. Her companion noticed it and screamed.Immediately afterwards, another tentacle jumped up from under the sea surface, pierced into the partner's wide-open mouth, and went out directly through the back of the head.

Everyone was stunned, and people couldn't react at all when they were extremely frightened.

The poor man just twitched a few times and became a hanging corpse.

Then people saw the appearance of the murderous monster clearly through the sparkling waves on the sea surface.

It was a huge meat ball with countless tentacles growing. On its huge head protruding out of the sea, the smooth dead white skin was torn up and down, and there was a gap like an old lady's toothless meat mouth, but the crack The open skin is not muscle or bone.

But a piece of oral organs.

When its swollen gills swell from absorbing water, it reveals the sharp shark-like teeth in the mouth.

The tentacle with the corpse squirmed slowly, sending food into one of the mouths.

The howling sea breeze sent the clear chewing sound into everyone's ear canal.

"..."

Zhou Qi above his head cursed in a low voice.

With wet palms, Xu Chi raised his head, twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled wryly: "It seems that the NPC is not lying. Before drowning, we may have to serve as fish food first."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Leng Qiu almost collapsed, "Don't eat up me!"

Xu Chi heard this, with a subtle expression on his face, and said, "Coincidentally, I don't like tentacle-crested animals either."

Zhou Qi gritted his teeth: "I don't think now is the time to discuss taste..."

People are scrambling to run away.

The people in the sea are desperately swimming to the distance, and the people who are still hanging on the boat are desperately climbing up by instinct, up, up, and up.

Soon, the bow completely capsized due to carrying too much weight, and the head of the boat covered the person hanging on it.

The moment the cold sea water submerged his body, a slippery, soft and pliable thing strangled Xu Chi's waist, dragging him deeper with terrifying force.

The speed of the sinking was unusually fast, and the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen made the brain confused. In the last second of waking up, he only had time to let go of Zhou Qi's hand.

The whole body is extremely comfortable, as if soaking in warm water, returning to the mother's womb.Even though he had never spent a single second in a womb in the traditional sense, it did not prevent him from using this metaphor to describe his feelings.

Xu Chi opened his eyes suddenly, and found himself floating in the dark blue water, safe and sound.

Beside him, the passers who were in the same situation as him were still in a coma, their weak hands and feet shaking with the waves.

From time to time, fish and seaweed floated by.

This is where?nautical mile?

How did they survive without oxygen?

Xu Chi raised his hand and found that his hand was covered with a layer of transparent film, which was wet, slippery and elastic. He inspected his body again and found that the film was all over his body, completely enveloping him in it.He tried to take a deep breath, and found that a steady stream of oxygen was generated in the membrane. From this point of view, this barrier not only supplies oxygen, but even isolates him from sea water.

That's why he didn't drown or choke on water.

So, where did this film come from?

Xu Chi cast his eyes on the bracelet on his wrist.

At this moment, this obsidian bracelet is emitting bright and bright white light. The intensity of the light is almost comparable to that of ordinary underwater searchlights. The beam of light penetrates straight through the dark sea water, opening up a visible world.

So Xu Chi was able to see clearly the "city" under his feet.

It was a gray city that sank for unknown reasons, gloomy and dim, just like every abandoned industrial city on the mainland that was shrouded in smoke and dust, everywhere was the wreckage of reinforced concrete, and there were black remains of high-rise buildings everywhere The greasy and foul-smelling mud clings to the corners like disgusting molluscs, but just approaching, the rust and corruption in the nearby seawater already make people cover their mouths and noses.

Xu Chi looked around, but couldn't find any familiar faces.

The sea is boundless, and he is lost with everyone.

He is still alive, and those people don't know whether they are dead or alive.

People woke up one after another, and they all showed the same surprised expressions when they saw the city under their feet.

Then they decided to go down and have a look.

Xu Chi followed them silently.

In the process of swimming, Xu Chi found that his body was very light. With that transparent film, he quickly adapted to the feeling of being immersed in water.

They sank down a road that was overgrown with seaweed.

The moment he stepped on the ground, Xu Chi had a strange illusion, as if he was stepping on the back of a monster.

The abandoned city looks like a silent steel behemoth.

In view of the octopus monster showing its face before, people started looking for weapons as soon as they landed.

They broke into dilapidated hardware stores, or large shopping malls whose doors were blocked by mud, and even broke off broken steel bars, desperately arming themselves.

Most of what survived was corroded to dross by sea water, even the fire hydrants that lined the streets were doomed.

Xu Chi picked up a steel knife. The leather on the handle had corroded and peeled off, but the blade was still sharp.

He put the knife in his arms and was about to leave when the sea water around him suddenly shook slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar hoarse voice sounded.

"Cough cough, now announce the list of newcomers who failed to arrive at the wedding venue." The pastor read out the names one by one in a lifeless voice.

Before they fell into a coma, these names were still living people, but now they are just cold symbols.

People gathered in the same direction where the sound came from.

It was a square in the middle of the city.

There is a huge electronic screen above the square, and the screen is shining with a cold white light at the moment.

In the white light, the living and very healthy corpse stood with a smile on his face, under the hostile eyes of Dao Dao.

He had just read a long list and took a breath.

At the same time, Xu Chi also breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and heard the list from the beginning to the end. He was sincerely grateful that he did not hear a name he was familiar with.

"Friends, you don't have much time left." The pastor continued, as if announcing a decree of death, "One hour later, the wedding ceremony will be held in the square as scheduled. Before that, please find your bridegroom or bride and exchange tokens. Complete the match, otherwise..."

The pastor pulled his stiff face, his mouth was almost split to the ear.

With his paradoxical smile, the screen gradually dimmed, and white numbers that kept beating gradually emerged.

That's an hour countdown.

Otherwise, what follows is self-evident.

People in a hurry are dispatched to find the "other half" who can share weal and woe.

The identification method is very simple, the one with the red bracelet is the bride, and the one with the black bracelet is the groom, which is clear at a glance.

Most people's thinking is that regardless of the three seven 21, find a match first.

The condition for completing the match is to exchange tokens.

This keepsake can be known with the toes, it must be the bracelet of the two of them.

Xu Chi watched with great interest a man and a woman beside him looking at each other at the speed of love at first sight. After two or three greetings, they happily completed the match.

After the exchange, the bracelet will become a uniform transparent color regardless of black or red.

This shows that the owner of the bracelet has a good name.

Xu Chi looked down at the token on his wrist and swam to the other side of the city.

A timid voice suddenly sounded from behind: "That, this gentleman."

Xu Chi stopped and turned around.

A slender boy stood not far behind him.

Xu Chi's toes were still pointing forward, and he frowned, signaling that the other party had something to say quickly, he was very busy.

Busy looking for his bride running around.

The boy coyed under Xu Chi's increasingly impatient gaze, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward. He deliberately held his white and slender right hand in front of his chest, and the agate bracelet on his wrist emitted a soft and beautiful red light.

"Well, sir, can I make a match with you?"

He said timidly.
