Chapter 6: Difficult Choices
"Okay."
Vivian nodded immediately, then covered his injured part with his hand, and retreated to the side very obediently.
After a while, when Dusty entered the cabin, Vivian pinched the time and crept in again.
...
[You have selected option 3 and will receive a reward: +1 for Strength]
Feeling the slight soreness from the muscles of his body, Vivian walked around the corner of the cabin, and just poked out half of his head, he saw a sudden explosion in the boiler room at the end of the front, and the heat wave immediately engulfed Dusty at the door.
Vivian: =ΝΝΝΝ=ΝΝΝΝ(ββ°κβ°β|||)
"Dead .. Dead and dead.. He's dead?! β
Is this dead?
Subconsciously swallowed the saliva in his mouth again, looking at the aisle that burned in an instant, Vivian couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
If you had chosen the second option and come in with Dusty's ass, I'm afraid you would have already been affected by the explosion, right?
But that doesn't seem to be the point right now.
You must know that even if Dusty doesn't have a heavy role in the original book, he is also one of the main supporting roles, even if he is affected by the butterfly effect that he has crossed over, he will not die so hastily, right?
And just as he was frowning, Dusty, who had just been swallowed up by the flames, actually came out of the sea of fire again with a disgraced face, and slashed at the wooden wall beside him.
Boom ββ!
Large boards of wood shattered into slag, and a young woman dressed as an old man emerged from the rubble, the "old woman" who had tricked Vivian into boarding the ship with a bowl of fried rice a few days earlier.
"Kennitz Nitya, you've been surrounded by the navy, surrender quickly!" Dusty said solemnly.
"Damn the Navy .."
Hearing this, a flash of unhappiness flashed on Nitya's face, and then she took out two bombs from her clothes and lit the fuses, her eyes were full of madness and she looked at Dusty and said, "Today, no one can leave this ship alive!" β
The other side.
[Option 1: Rush up and help Dusty defeat the enemy.] (Completion Reward: 1 random Natural Devil Fruit)]
[Option 2: Speak out to attract the attention of female pirates.] (Completion Rewards: Beginner Armed Color Domineering, Beginner Seeing and Hearing Color Domineering)]
[Option 3: Go to the utility room alone to save someone.] (Completion Reward: Random Plane Sword Skill x1)]
[Option 4: Hide in the jewel chest at the entrance of the cabin and wait for the Navy to rescue you on deck.] (Completion Reward: Random Base Attribute +1)]
Looking at the four options that popped up in front of him, Vivian, who reflexively wanted to choose the last one, was suddenly stunned on the spot.
For no other reason, in front of the corridor, the fire had already spread to the utility room where civilians were being held.
Glancing at the bolt of the door that was tightly wrapped in chains, Vivian could even faintly hear some cries coming from inside.
"What should I do?"
Vivian, who had already made up his mind two days ago to choose the last item without a brain, suddenly became a little hesitant.
Pick 4, there is no doubt that he will not face any danger. The insulated box used by the one-eyed pirates to store his jewels apparently allowed him to escape being burned alive until Smoker and his gang finished dealing with the pirates on deck, and then rushed to extinguish the fire.
But this also means that other civilians who are locked in the utility room will be charred alive by the fire.
"It's just a bunch of unrelated people.."
"What does it matter to me whether they live or die?"
He muttered to himself.
After choosing the wrong option, the heart that I had guessed just now would be affected by the explosion resurfaced from the depths of my heart.
Seeing that the fire was getting closer and closer, and that Dusty and Nitya had disappeared from the stern of the ship, Vivien raised his hand and slapped himself hard, then lowered the lid of the uncovered jewel box and rushed to the one-eyed pirate's bedroom directly opposite.
"Ahem!"
Picking up a bucket and pouring it over his body, then covering his mouth and nose with a wet rag, Vivian quickly found the key in the room, and then plunged headlong into the fire.
[You have selected option 3]
γStart Follow-up Missionγ
[Mission content: Lead all civilians in the cabin to escape]
Resisting the hot touch of the chain, Vivian calmly opened the door.
As soon as they entered, they saw a group of civilians lying on the floor next to the door, coughing wildly, and it was obvious that they were choked by the billowing smoke that filled the room.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Vivian stepped forward and lifted the two men at the door from the ground, and while dragging them out of the door, he shouted loudly to everyone in the house: "If you don't want to die, cheer me up!" β
However, as soon as his words fell, with a crisp sound, the large wooden planks above his head collapsed one after another without warning, and smashed Vivian's head.
A strong feeling of dizziness instantly hit my mind.
At the same time, the flames blocked the door behind him, and began to pour into the room at a rapid speed along the door frame.
Vivian, whose eyes were a little blurry, turned his head to look at the scene behind him.
"Sure enough.."
Is this the danger of not choosing the last one?
He let out a chuckle with some restraint.
But even so, I would never give up so easily...
Wiping the blood dripping from his forehead, Vivian struggled to get up from the ground, then walked to the shelves in the utility room, pulled out a hammer from a pile of scrap metal, and then slammed it on the inner wall with all his strength.
I don't know if the two or three power attributes obtained these days have played a role at this moment, and with just one hammer, there are already some cracks on the wooden wall.
A scorching heat slammed in from behind, stinging every civilian who was crying and coughing.
Unaware of this, Vivian was still swinging the hammer to himself, trying to lead the innocent people in the room out of this desperate situation.
Bang!
Bang β Bang ββ!
One hammer, two hammers..
The frequency is accelerating.
Finally, as the flames ignited Vivian's clothes, a large amount of seawater poured in from the hole he had smashed, washing over every one of the people who were huddled on the ground.
"It's over.."
Feeling the coolness of the oncoming blow, Vivian let go of the hammer he was clutching in his hand and lay back in relief.
"Gurgling, gurgling..."
