539, Terror Cruise

With this chapter, the world-building officially concludes, and the truly wondrous part of the tale begins. This segment will lean more heavily into the bizarre compared to the previous content. Why disclose this here? Primarily because editing in VIP chapters is a right nuisance.

"Bounty Hunter Sun Bocheng has sent out a distress signal via all-channel radio, help! Help! I am trapped on the Dahe Ryokan cruise ship, along with seven hundred and fifty crew members and over two thousand passengers. I repeat ..."

It had been three days, and a massive cruise ship was sailing aimlessly across the vast ocean like a headless fly, directionless, signal-less, and even devoid of the slightest breeze. The world seemed dead, with an endless sea, a grey fog hanging over the water, and a sun shrouded in mist above, all in absolute silence.

There was still food and water, but no one knew how long it would last or how long they would drift.
