On the occasion of the delicate atmosphere on board.

This was accompanied by a soft shout from Dean.

In the distance, at sea level, a tattered and old bow of a ship came into view.

It's a freighter with some history!

Although everyone didn't have the same good eyesight as Dean and couldn't really see it, they had a wide field of vision on the sea, and the visual distance was far farther than on the land, and everyone squinted their eyes, and they could see a small black dot coming towards them!

"That's it."

Barton, the leader of the mercenaries, narrowed his eyes and said with some uncertainty: "Is that a ship?" ”

Dean nodded, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It looks like it should be a freighter of some age." ”

Patton's spirits were shaken.

No matter what comes, it's good to have a change.

Otherwise, I will be hungry for a few days.

In order to maintain a certain combat effectiveness, he may choose to do something bad!

And that kind of thing will undoubtedly force these originally independent individuals to unite to resist or even kill themselves, which may also include their own team members, until the last step, Barton does not want to do so.

Be in a relaxed mood.

Barton couldn't help but joke: "Dean, I'm a squad sniper, I didn't expect your eyesight to be better than mine, maybe when this incident is over, you can consider changing careers." ”

Dean smiled and didn't speak.

The rest of the people, although they still don't know what the black dot in their field of vision is, saw Barton laughing, and their tense emotions were much more relaxed, especially those game masters.

Although it is not possible to say that the sea is not a dead horse running on the mountain, the speed of the freighter is very slow.

It wasn't until the past ten minutes that everyone could see the appearance of the black dots.

It was a very old-looking, even dilapidated, freighth-looking cargo ship, about the size of a ship under their feet, and the draft was so deep that people worried that the freighter would suddenly be swallowed up by the waves that came over it.

It's close.

The crowd could even make out the white paint on the outside of the cruise ship.

That's the name of the freighter.

To see more clearly, an athlete exclaimed, "It seems to be the Annika freighter!" ”

Barton immediately stepped forward, grabbed the person who spoke, and said with some excitement: "You know this freighter? ”

And the people pricked up their ears.

If this were a normal freighter, great!

Food, water, and a distress station!

What's more important is that you can get out of this cruise ship under your feet!

Even if it's bankrupt.

Everyone doesn't want to continue to stay on this weird cruise ship, not only is their lives not guaranteed, but they also have to endure mental torture all the time!

See everyone looking at themselves.

The athlete who spoke shook his head with a bitter face: "I hope so, too, but the Annika freighter lost contact two years ago because of the storm!" ”

"What?"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked!

Lost contact on the sea, and once lost, it was still two years, what this means, everyone knows it!

Could it be that this freighter is a ghost ship?

That's when it happened.

The spider tattooed woman standing behind Barton frowned and said: "The speed of this ship, there is something wrong, I have calculated by sight, it is only about five to six knots per hour, and the ship seems to be loaded with a lot of cargo, and the draft is very heavy!" ”

knots are the unit of measurement for the speed of a ship at sea.

A ship travels one nautical mile per hour, which is called a section.

One section, about 1.85 kilometers.

In other words, the speed of the freighter at the moment is probably not as fast as the speed propelled by the sea!

"But this freighter is obviously in a state of drive!"

Barton vaguely felt uneasy!

Dean glanced at the spider tattooed woman, and then said: "This shows that the people on the freighter are controlling the speed, and the other party is afraid that the other party is not good, so we have to prepare some weapons!" ”

Patton's team, a member of the team who estimated Dean's unhappy face, sneered: "I saw you and your teammates lazy before, I guess it's not clear, there is not even a single hair left for us on this cruise ship." ”

Dean shrugged, "You forgot when we woke up, those glass cases?" When I woke up, I saw that those glass cabinets, not bulletproof glass, fixed shelves, are very good weapons if you simply clean them up. ”

The talking team member was even more upset when he saw Dean actually refute it.

He glared at Dean, "Then you didn't say it before?" ”

"I said it before, are you sure that a few of you can suppress a dozen armed people without injury?" , Dean looked at each other like a fool.

This is the age of firearms.

These modern mercenaries may be good at shooting, but with their bare hands, they know a little more about hand-to-hand combat skills than others.

Not to mention, in the other two groups, there are also seven strong athletes.

They really have weapons, and when they fight, even if Patton and a few people can control the situation, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be injured, and in this situation, what it means to be injured, fools understand.

Behind Barton, the team member who spoke, his face was red, hot air was spewing from his nose, he wanted to refute something, but he didn't know how to say it, and an indescribable impulse exploded in his chest.

His eyes began to get bloodshot, and there was only one thought in his mind: FK, Lao Tzu is going to tear this little white face's mouth apart!

"Something is wrong with this guy's reaction!"

Dean has a keen sense of malice, glanced at the other party's state, his expression changed, and said to Barton and his teammates: "Something is wrong with his situation, let him calm down!" ”

Barton was just about to give his team members a step down, when he heard Dean's words, he subconsciously turned his head to look.

The next moment.

He was taken aback by the state of his teammates.

I saw that the team members, who were originally normal, were already congested with blood all over their bodies at this moment, their eyes were full of red, and the whole person was even more swollen a lot, and what was even more terrifying was the beating green tendons, which appeared on the red skin, like writhing disgusting earthworms, which made people extremely uncomfortable and frightened!

"Yobani, what's wrong with you!"

"Calm down!"

"Dude, calm down, if you go on like this, all the capillaries in your body are going to explode!"

Barton and his teammates hurriedly calmed down their teammate Yobani, who was in a very wrong state!

"Get out of here!"

Accompanied by a roar that emanated from deep in his throat.

Yobani waved his arm that was half a circle thick, and relied on brute force to directly knock his teammates around him, as well as Barton in front of him, into the air.

Four people, three men and one woman, are all full of muscles, adding up to no less than seven or eight hundred pounds, in front of the abnormal state of Barton, they are like children, they are beaten and smashed into pieces, without any resistance!

It's outrageous!

At this moment, on the deck, except for a few guys who were more intelligent, who heard Yobani's loud voice, quietly left the deck, and ran to the cabin to look for weapons, the rest of the people were frightened.

"Die!"

Jobani emptied his teammates beside him, his bloodshot eyes locked onto Dean, and strode over with a faint heat rising from outside his body.

"Stay away from me!"

Without saying a word, Dean pushed Chestonne away from him, and ran away.

Jobani howled in anger like a tank and chased after him.

As a result, Dean was not only fast, but also had strong stamina, running round and round the cabin, while Yobani, although fast and frighteningly fast in a straight line, seemed to have a much lower IQ, and his hands and feet were even more clumsy, stumbling on the narrow lanes.

Wait until the third lap.

Jobani, who was originally chasing after Dean, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, his face twisted and rolling, as if he was in great pain, and the bloodstained skin on his body turned from red to dark red, like sticky and inactive corpse spots on a corpse that had been dead for a long time

Dean paused, leaned over and looked at him, his face heavy.

This is a typical symptom of muscle lysis, hemolysis, and extensive breakdown of blood vessels, resulting in blood collapse.

In a normal person, it is almost impossible for this situation to occur.

Because the human body is self-regulating, even if there is muscle dissolution or blood vessel rupture, it cannot do the same as the situation of Jobani on earth.

This is true even if you overdose on doping and then overdo it.

Dean immediately thought of the potion that those Lucifer organized people to inject into everyone's bodies after they fell unconscious!

Potions, there is a problem!

Think of what Jobani had just done.

Dean had some vague speculation in his mind.

That potion may have something to do with everyone's emotions!

Jobani's wail lasted only a dozen seconds.

However, he did not die because of the collapse of his body.

He had died of pain before his body completely collapsed and collapsed.

Dean hadn't experienced it though.

But this pain of every inch of flesh and blood dissolving and every organ failing is probably no more comfortable than a thousand cuts

While he was observing the corpses on the ground.

Barton, Barton's remaining three teammates, and Cheston Horn, armed with an alloy steel pipe with glass shards, finally arrived.

See the corpse on the ground.

The expressions of several people changed drastically.

Jobani's death

Whether it is a mercenary with strong psychological quality, or Chestann who is beginning to get used to all kinds of corpse stumps, at this time, there is only a constant chill in his heart, and a fear of the unknown!

On the second day of boarding, one person was reduced!

"What the hell is going on!"

“FK！”

Barton, who has always performed well, witnessed the strange changes in his team members, and finally couldn't suppress the panic and helplessness after getting on the boat, and his emotions were a little out of control, and he scolded.

"If you don't want to be like him, stabilize your emotions!"

Dean stood up and pointed to the corpse:

"I suspect that his change has something to do with our coma, those bastards, must have done something to us, otherwise your teammates can't really seem to burn out because of anger!

Also, I have to warn you, Barton, that as your mood is unstable, your body surface is starting to heat up, and if you don't want to die, you have to calm down! ”

The freighter in the distance, I don't know what the situation is.

Dean didn't want Barton, a good cannon fodder, to die so worthless.

Hear Dean's words.

Patton's teammates subconsciously looked at their captain.

I saw that Barton's body surface seemed to have undergone strenuous exercise, panting, and his skin was red, which was very similar to the symptoms of Yobani just now.

They hurriedly reassured: "Take a deep breath, captain, your situation is indeed wrong!" ”

After all, Patton is a retired personnel from the CIA, and his mental adjustment ability is not bad.

With the help of your teammates.

He forcibly suppressed the boredom in his heart, took a big breath, and finally stabilized his mood.

"Whew!"

Barton pushed away his teammates who were blocking in front of him, and said with some uneasiness:

"Just now I felt a fire burning in my chest and my head swelled.

I don't know how to describe it, but I really wanted to smash something and vent the flames, and that desire to destroy even affected my mind.

That's weird.

Anyway, thanks, guys. ”

He raised his head and looked at Dean pleadingly: "Now the situation, I'm afraid it's going to be reversed." ”

Dean shook his head helplessly and looked at Cheston beside him: "Man, look at the other two squads, we will be more passive in the future." ”

"Okay, Boss Dean, it's just that I don't get it."

Chestann waved the steel pipe he had just removed from the glass cabinet in his hand, and said with a smile: "I have learned some two-handed greatsword skills, and it is easy to deal with three or five people. ”

In his opinion.

Now that he has a weapon in hand, his combat effectiveness has increased greatly.

Even if the other two squads got weapons, they were still not as good as their side, how could the form be reversed?

"But if we fight now, it will be dangerous."

Barton sighed and picked up the topic.

He pointed to himself, and then to his three remaining teammates:

"Because we have been active on the battlefield for a long time, we have more or less some psychological problems, especially when we are fighting, and our emotions are even more active.

If Dean's speculation is true.

Then it will be dangerous for us to continue to do it now.

We will be in danger.

You will not escape being affected.

And can you make sure that the other two squads continue to be bullied and don't become like Jobani? ”

Cheston Ann, thinking of the strange appearance of Jobani just now, smashed a few people away, and shrank his head: "Okay, I know, but I suggest that those people be brought to the deck and explain the situation, otherwise the cruise ship is so big, and there are a few more people out of control, I can't imagine that scene." ”

"Good advice."

Dean patted Cheston on the shoulder and pointed to the cabin in front of him, "Go ahead, man, it's up to you to be eloquent." ”

Cheston Brown: "."

He turned back three times, and with the risk of being beaten at any moment, he walked pathetically into the cabin.

Even more speechless than Chestonn was one more man.

That's the master of the game who betrayed his small group before - Cassiu.

In order to survive, Cassius betrayed his teammates and took refuge in Barton, but he didn't expect that only a few hours later, the backer he had just found became a pile of dangerous explosives barrels in the blink of an eye.

What a reason for this!

Cassiu is not stupid, knowing that once the two sides shake hands again, he will become the biggest outlier among all and the most suitable cannon fodder.

"Now everyone is in danger of getting out of control.

Then I'm not as good as a person!

It's safer that way! ”

Cassiu rolled his eyes, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, and quietly retreated.

Dean's ears moved slightly, he turned his head, caught a glimpse of Cassiu's back running away, and glanced at Barton with a smile: "The cruise ship is coming, it will take some time, I think you can find someone to test it first."

Barton followed Dean's gaze and saw Cassius as he prepared to escape.

He's not a good stubble, and he understands the meaning of Dean's words in seconds.

Barton pouted at his teammate who was still in good shape, "Catch that guy." ”

He didn't say anything.

That is, after calming down again, although Barton felt that the flame in his chest had cooled down a lot, it was not extinguished at all, and when a little spark ignited, it would explode again.

But so what.

There's no way he's going to say it.

Because once this happens, the person who is used as the subject of the experiment will be himself.

Barton would rather take everyone to die than be treated as an unstable factor and sacrificed at will!

That's human nature!

Not long after Chestonen entered the cabin, several relatively strong men, armed with weapons, followed out.

The rest remained in the cabin.

Because of the previous practices of Barton and others, the people in the other two squads do not trust them very much now.

Cheston trotted over to Dean and whispered, "Because most of us have seen the strange change in Captain Barton's teammate, they agreed to take everyone over and keep the peace, but we are not allowed to continue to enter the cabin." ”

The few people who came out were just watching the point outside because the cargo ship was about to approach, so as not to miss the opportunity to rescue.

"Not bad."

Dean nodded, looking at Barton, "While the freighter still has some time, we need to deal with that Cassius now, we must figure out the law of that strange change as soon as possible." ”

said.

He snapped his fingers rhythmically, and hinted: "I feel that our current situation is like a group of guinea pigs in an experiment, no matter what we do, we are under those surveillance, and even if we go out in the future, I am afraid that we will be threatened by those surveillance videos." ”

Barton looked strangely at Dean, who snapped his fingers as he spoke.

Is this guy a rap enthusiast?

He felt that Dean's snapping fingers were in good rhythm, mixed with the voice of the voice, and he couldn't help but sound those brainwashing raps he had heard before.

The thought flashed through Barton's mind.

He nodded silently: "Anyway, let's figure out the law of that change first." ”

With that, he turned around, followed his teammates, and disappeared in front of Dean.

Later, more on that later.

Now, he just wants to live by any means!

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Dean's eyes flashed with pity.

Barton, there's no help!

But the seeds of implication have been planted.

Barton can also play with the afterglow.

For example, when it was completely out of control, under the influence of his hint just now, he destroyed part of the hull monitoring, so that he had the opportunity to connect Xiao Mike's intrusion equipment into the line here for anti-invasion!

Just now, Barton's teammates went out too suddenly, and the surveillance on the deck was all high, and Dean had no chance at all.

Now, he has set his sights on Barton.

As for why Dean was sure that Barton was not saved, it was because he knew that the reason for all this change was because of the drugs injected into these people by the Lucifer Game Organization.

If there is a change in the body, it means that the medicine has taken effect.

Dean was sure that Barton seemed to be recovering, but in fact he was just holding on.

He concealed this because he was afraid that everyone would alienate him.

Barton didn't last long.

Besides.

Dean also figured out what that potion does!

Catalytic hormone secretion!

Under different emotions, the body will secrete different hormones, stimulate the body, and show different symptoms.

The two echo each other.

And the people organized by Lucifer injected them with the medicine, nine times out of ten, have the effect of catalyzing and amplifying these hormones, as for the time of attack, it depends on each person's physique and the fit of that medicine.

This is actually the same as spraying.

Some people take the medicine and absorb it quickly, while others are much more sluggish.

And Barton, who has been in high spirits for a long time, is undoubtedly much less resistant to that kind of medicine.

These guys shouldn't live long.

"Little Mike would definitely be very happy if he knew about this potion."

Dean smiled and looked back at the slowly approaching freighter in the distance.

Beside him, Chessonn touched his chin.

Not sure why.

He felt that Boss Dean just now looked at Barton as if he were looking at a group of dead people.

emmm

Anyway, stay away from those people!

"What a smart guy!"

Laboratory.

Dr. Sean was amazed as he listened to Subject 37 speak from the microphone.

The ship, which had been remodeled in its entirety, was not only monitored but also concealed by a number of invisible radios to ensure that they could control the movements of all test subjects.

Sean didn't expect it.

Subject 37, knowing no idea what was going on, deduced that they were undergoing an experiment based on a garbage failure.

He is very fond of highly intelligent test subjects.

Because this kind of test subject has a strong self-control, it has a great chance of becoming a sub-successful test subject, that is, a skeleton mask man and sailor of the same size and strength as a beast.

It's a pity that this kind of test product has serious brain damage, a short lifespan, and the body will collapse at any time, so it definitely can't be used on those big people.

"I hope this guy can really surprise me and become the first experimental subject who can retain his IQ, even if he fails, he must improve compared to before, otherwise I will be under a lot of pressure!"

Dr. Sean, fists clenched unconsciously.

The magic of modern science is that once the experiment is successful and there is a perfect monitoring record, then it is very possible to artificially replicate the change and success until the principle of change is mastered, and finally the optimization and transformation are carried out to remove the side effects and achieve the real purpose.

For the urgent need for success, he hesitated for a moment and chose to speed up the test process: "Let the piglet boat, speed up and get closer, and you can carry out the next step of the test!" ”

"Yes, Dr. Sean!"

Commands were sent from the base to an encrypted military satellite, and then appeared in the encircled sea

With the order from Dr. Sean's side.

On the freighter's side, it began to accelerate slowly.

On Dean's side, the collar around everyone's neck has finally changed!

A chaotic mechanical sound sounded in everyone's necks at the same time:

On the 10th of September, you choose to participate in an unforgettable battle royale game with various purposes.

A couple of guys who didn't follow the rules of the game were disqualified from the game.

On September 11th, the game entered the buffer waiting.

When you wake up, you find no food, no water, stuck in a cruise ship, and no hope of survival.

In search of hope for survival.

You want to try all sorts of things.

For example, destroying the collar around the neck, destroying the monitoring equipment on the top of the head.

Here are some good ideas.

However, the intrusion of a freighter caused your operation to run aground before it could begin.

You're in luck.

Because if you do it, the collar around your neck will be blown open and you will be disqualified from the game.

But there's one guy who's unlucky.

He collapsed before the game began.

Now, with the freighter approaching, the real battle royale game has finally begun!

Are you ready?

Zizizi~

Accompanied by a subtle electrical noise.

An emotionless female voice sounded:

Battle Royale, the first round of the game, officially begins:

A freighter has appeared in your field of vision.

This is a piglet boat that has been sailing for a long time, and there are many stowaways who want to smuggle into the United States, including young people with the hope of their families, murderers and fraudsters who have maliciously fled, and families who are full of dreams for a new life.

They have gone through many difficulties and paid a great price, and they are finally about to reach the land of their dreams.

But there was a little problem in the middle.

The freighter has almost lost its ability to brake because of its disrepair, and their distress communication has also lost its function because of a storm, and the food and water on board can last for a day or two, and if it continues, they will fall before the end and become the new ghosts on this sea.

Until today.

They saw you: a big and surprising cruise ship!

Under the trend of the desire to survive.

They are beginning to draw closer to you.

You are the hope of life in their eyes.

But is that really the case?

Mission 1: On the cruise ship, survive until 5 p.m. on the 25th.

Reminder: Once you leave the cruise, you will lose your player status!

Mission 2: In the first round of the game, there are only six places to clear the game!

Reminder: Before 5pm on the 25th, if there are more than 6 players on the cruise, the number of excess players will be randomly cleared until the number of players reaches 6.

The first round of the game.

It's officially started!

The cold mechanical sound disappeared again.

On the collar around everyone's neck, an electronic countdown number appeared.

Woo~

The freighter whistled and finally arrived near the cruise ship!
