Book 5 Chapter 22: Safely Departure

After completed the assault, the ghost ship drifted away, leaving a glimmer of nightmare in everyone’s hearts .

Countless debris, of the shipwreck were found scattered floating on the surface of the sea . Occasionally, some survivors called for help but they were ignored .

This was the Free To Kill mode . No adventurer trusted another unless they were good friends or members of the same team .

No one knew if the adventurers on each ships were still alive .

He may have been captured by Flying Dutchman’s captain Davy Jones and had to work hard for a hundred years on the ghost ship – being an adventurer, it meant that the mission has failed, in other words it meant the death penalty .

Maybe he was still alive, drifting on the sea, waiting for a man to save him . But his ship was destroyed and the shipments were gone . Even if he was saved now, he still had only a dead end . For adventurers, rescuing him  only meant creating a danger for the shipments on boat and for themselves .

Wen Rou’s “Princess Ivana” and Jin Gang’s “Beautiful Lover” have already met .

The distance between Hong Lang’s “Maxim Manor” and Luo Hao’s “Little Boy” is not far away .

Shen Yi’s “The Potato” was able to venture closer to everyone’s distance, as he ventured through the storm zone . From the telescope others could see that The Potato is coming from the wind and waves .

Wen Rou put down her own far-infrared telescope: “We can see The Potato . Shen Yi, let your sailors work harder, we are waiting for you here . ”

“Don’t just wait for me but be careful about the surroundings . ”

Shen Yi was also looking around with his own telescope .

More and more ships were visible on the sea . The storm did not drive everyone away, but it had brought many people closer .

Adventurers were looking for friends and watching out for their opponents . Unless it was a someone they knew, no one wanted to be close to anyone .

However, there were some boats that were trying to get close to each other .

They were looking at the adventurers on board and trying to see if they could spot any familiar faces they are looking for .

Xie Rongjun heard from his team members from time to time:

“This boat is not it . ”

“I didn’t see any of them . ”

“Nothing found!”

“One of the guys thought I was going to attack him and desperately sent me a warning . Haha . ”

Young Widow moved quickly on the sea, and Xie Rongjun was constantly searching .

Although he was not fully prepared, he still didn’t forget to carry necessary equipments like the telescope .

A ship in the distance caught his attention .

“The Potato… The name is interesting . ” Xie Rongjun looked forward along the direction of the potato . He saw four ships being assembled at the farthest end .

“Attention, there are five ships that are assembling . It may be Shen Yi’s team . All people come closer to me . ”

“I also saw the captain . I’m closer to them . I’ll take a look first . ” Dreamy said in the channel .

“Be careful, if they are, they will certainly preempt you . ”

“Rest assured, I know what to do . I will not fight head-on . They can destroy my ship at most . I can rob someone else’s boat later . ”

“Very good . ” Xie Rongjun nodded with satisfaction .

The strength of Dreamy may not be considered as strong in team Strike The Blood, but he was a careful person and not easy to take risk . In the Bloody City, this is an important quality .

After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, and added an order: “Don’t try to catch the four-person team, stop The Potato first . Clown, you go and form a double-teaming with Dreamy . If the ship does belong to Shen Yi, don’t attack . Wait until we come in . Pandora, Chen Yi, Lu Chi, No . 47, Yu Li, you five chase the four ships . Remember carefully, if it’s an enemy, don’t rush to fight, drag it out!”

“Understood!” Everyone agreed .

———————————

In the telescope, two sailboats were heading towards themselves from the left and right sides .

“The Dolissa” and “The Cheese” .

“Shen Yi, you’re careful, it must have been team Strike The Blood’s boat . ” Wen Rou had also discovered the situation, and was anxious .

“See . Xie Rongjun must be nearby . They must have seen the problem . You must leave first . ”

“how about you?”

“I will catch up with you . ”

“No!”

“If you don’t go, they will even doubt me more . I can’t go . ”

Wen Rou bite the beak, finally agreed: “Well, let’s go one step ahead and take care of yourself . ”

“Ivana Princess” took the lead along the route and the remaining three followed .

Team Strike The Blood saw all of this .

“Captain, four ships has left! Do you want to catch up?” Chen Yi called .

“Captain, there are more than a dozen ships there have not been checked! All the boats are leaving, what should I do?” This is the blue bottle calling .

“We call them to stop the boat, but no one cares for us . ”

“What about the bleeding banner?”

“I’m afraid they will run faster!”

Xie Rongjun’s brow furrowed: “First look at The Potato . ”

“Understood!”

The Dolissa and The Cheese continued to move closer to The Potato .

Seeing that the two ships were getting closer and closer, Shen Yi took out the T-1000 .

“You know what to do, right?”

No . 1 nodded .

The body of the liquid metal began to deform, and a rough Chinese figure gradually generated . The T1000’s simulation ability was very powerful, not only looks, even the display of Bloody Crest could also be simulated .

The captain next to him looked stunned .

After putting a telescope in No . 1’s  hand and a trench coat on No . 1’s body, Shen Yi said to the captain, “He is now your owner instead of me . I hope you can accept him . ”

“Oh my Poseidon…” The captain almost fell down .

Shen Yi took his hand off the bow . Going to a sailor, he picked up his sailor’s cap and put it on his head . Then he said to him, “Give me your clothes . I’ll help you . You’ll go there for a rest . ”

The Dolissa approached gradually .

Dreamy was standing on the bow and looked at No . 1 with prudence .

The other party also looked at him with warning eyes, probably suspecting that he wanted to take the goods .

The two boats were about fifty meters away from each other and faced each other for a moment .

Dreamy’s sleepy eyes stayed on the Bloody Crest of No . 1 and finally replied: “It’s not them . ”

Xie Rongjun’s sigh came from the channel: “To search for other boats, the four boats are too far apart to be chased for the time being, and it is not for you to come back . ”

“Yes!”

The Dolissa and The Cheese began to turn .

The potato number glided forward with the Dolissin, far behind the two ships .

Staring at the back of the Potato, Dreamy felt that something was wrong, but couldn’t think of it at that moment .

As the time passed, members who went to check other boats returned with no sign .

“We still missed several ships and did not check?” Xie Rongjun asked .

“In addition to the four ships that left previously, eight of them have not been inspected . Some haven’t even been touched, and others are too far away from us . Now all of them have already left . ”

“In other words, Shen Yi’s team should be in these twelve ships . ”

“Not necessarily . ” Dreamy, who did not feel so, suddenly said .

“What?” Everyone stunned .

“The adventurer of The Potato is very strange . I have never seen him before . I doubt that…”

Xie Rongjun’s face sank: “Send his picture to everyone and compare with the data in the computer . ”

“It has already been painted . ” Before entering the bloody city, Dreamy was a talent student for the art department . He has already drawn a good sketch .

The picture was passed to everyone’s hands through Bloody Crest . Xie Rongjun took out a laptop from his Bloody Crest .

Compared to the PDA, this notebook is much cheaper and only costs 300 BP . It is the most common type . It does not have such functions as scanning, but fortunately, the power is also endless . The most important thing is that there are a lot of data of adventurers was stored on this computer .

Whenever a member of the team comes into contact with a person, his name, identity, and information are all recorded on this computer for use as a backup .

This is a vast and arduous task, and it requires a long-term commitment .

From above it can also be seen the difference between team Strike The Blood and team Break Blade . In the former’s eyes, other adventurers are the first enemy, and the mission world is second only . In the latter’s eyes, they do not have a clear imaginary enemy, but strong self is the key .

The fame of team Strike The Blood was created not through the missions, but through the killing of other adventurers . In the course of fighting against the enemy, they also had a wealth of experience .

In the opinion of team Strike The Blood members, killing other adventurers was indeed easier than gaining benefits from the mission, although the risk was even greater .

The Free To Kill mode was the favorite of the strong teams like them . Not to mention that they were only checking other ships now because they had not yet converged and the Main Quest of this mission had not yet been resolved . Once they met the main goal, all remaining adventurers would become their targets .

In this case, being good at collecting information from other adventurers was an important guarantee for success and victory .

Some people may think that this was inconsistent with the irresponsibility that Xie Rongjun respected before . However, in fact, not harassing usually means that you don’t incur troubles that don’t bring benefits to yourself, and you don’t cause troubles that you can’t afford to deal with . As for the trouble that could bring you benefits and is untouchable, you should try your best to provoke them .

Whether it is Xie Rongjun or Shen Yi, it is actually the same in this regard .

At this moment, Xie Rongjun compared the portraits sent by his dreams with all the adventurers on his computer, and found that none of them matched . At the same time, other members of team Strike The Blood also stated that they have never seen this person .

“Captain, can you say that there are still people in Shen Yi who can transform?”

“I haven’t said that they have this ability in our intelligence . ”

Xie Rongjun’s brow was frowned: “There may not have been before, it does not mean that it is not present . Zhou Yiyu also said that he left Shen Yi in the midst of that mission . As for the people who have fallen after that, is it right? Nobody knows anything else . ”

“The problem is that the last time they passed was the Terminator 2018 world . I didn’t hear about this ability . ”

“It’s not only available from the mission world, it can also be purchased from stores . ”

“Perhaps some kind of item?”

“Perhaps it is someone else who has a transforming ability . ”

“It may also be a newcomer who has just entered Common District . ”

There were be too many opinions, but there were no accurate answers .

Xie Rongjun’s heart sank: “Enough! There are twelve ships that haven’t been checked . All of them are gathered and sailing toward Tutujia Port . As long as Shen Yi is still in this world, as long as he doesn’t want to be obliterated by the city, he will go there . We must go to Tutujia Port . We have too many opportunities to find him on this road… . Assemble the ships! Raise the blood flag!”

After the assembly of the fleet was completed, twelve blood red flags rose over the Caribbean Sea .

It was a symbol of the ranks of the strong in the Common District .

Any adventurer who sees this flag would automatically withdraw .

Putting down the telescope, Shen Yi sighed in relief .

“Wen Rou, Jin Gang, I’ve been out of the concentration area . Let’s see … we’ll meet in an hour from now . ”
