Game Begins: Maritime Banquet 23

Lu Huai's wound, which was more than ten centimeters long, was caused by a piece of iron from a blown-up container.

After he took off his clothes, the blood gushed out. The medicine that was applied unevenly couldn't stop the bleeding at all.

Wen Nannan took the medicine powder and applied it to the wound on his waist.

Lu Huai closed his eyes and let Wen Nannan apply the medicine to him. Wen Nannan felt like a little maid serving a big shot.

Thinking of this, Wen Nannan exerted a little force. Lu Huai opened his eyes and looked at her.

"I'm sorry. I've made too much bacon at home, so it feels like I'm applying salt." Wen Nannan smiled awkwardly.

She quickly bandaged him up and then carefully and gently applied medicine to the cut on her face.

Lu Huai: ...

There was another explosion on the freighter not far away.

The violent explosion sent the container fragments ten meters high, splashing high waves into the sea.

In the thick smoke, a surviving player ran out. Wen Nannan recognized him. He was the one who had been shooting at them with a gun!

It was already late at night, and the sea was pitch black. They could see the player under the firelight, but the player couldn't see them.

This made Wen Nannan relax a little. She focused on clearing the zombies nearby.

This was much easier to deal with than the overwhelming zombies on the freighter. After a few days of training, Wen Nannan could almost kill one zombie with one slash.

"Be careful." Lu Huai said lightly from behind.

Wen Nannan felt warm when she heard Lu Huai's concern. "Don't worry, I won't get hurt."

"I'm talking about the inflatable boat." Lu Huai glanced at the kitchen knife she was waving. "Don't puncture the boat with that knife."

Wen Nannan froze. "... I'm sorry to worry you."

Bang—

There was another explosion.

The two of them looked at the freighter together. The player was surrounded by zombies and was running around in panic. His route was a bit off, and it seemed that he also wanted to jump into the sea.

It didn't matter if he jumped into the sea. The key was the group of zombies behind him.

The two of them reacted at the same time and started rowing quickly.

The kitchen knife that Wen Nannan brought was great. Not only could it kill zombies, but it could also be used as a paddle with the back of the knife facing inward and the blade facing outward.

Unlike the rifles that Lu Huai was holding, they could only be used as fire sticks at critical moments.

There was a scream from the boat.

The man jumped.

Then there were sounds of falling into the water, as dense as rain. The surrounding zombies started howling. Affected by the smell, they seemed to be approaching them.

Could zombies swim?

Wen Nannan wanted to turn her head to look, but Lu Huai stopped her. "Don't look back. Row faster."

As he spoke, Lu Huai pulled out his gun and fired a burst of shots behind him.

The surrounding water turned even blacker. Wen Nannan saw several headless bodies while rowing. She rowed even faster.

Sea Survival, Day 29, 6:00 AM

The two of them took turns rowing the boat and clearing the floating zombies. They were now about... a thousand meters away from the freighter.

Wen Nannan looked at the cargo ship and estimated the distance. The cargo ship was still visible but much smaller. Behind them, there was not only a sea, but also an invisible wall.

The freighter was moving, and the wall was moving as well. It seemed that something was preventing Wen Nannan and the others from leaving.

Wen Nannan suddenly recalled the words that appeared when she first entered the game, "Players cannot avoid the game."

The distance of a thousand meters should be the farthest distance that the game allowed them to be from the freighter.

A thousand meters was enough.

Zombies were just corpses, to put it bluntly. They couldn't swim, and their stiff bodies made it difficult for them to float there. Even if one or two of them really floated here, it wouldn't be a problem.

They spent the last two days of Survival at Sea on an inflatable boat.

They had plenty of supplies, such as food and water. Except for the need to take turns guarding, the last two days of survival were the easiest of the past twenty days.

Wen Nannan finished another apple and threw the core into the sea.

Suddenly, a "beep" sounded in her ear, and familiar words appeared in front of her-

[You have survived for thirty days and have successfully cleared the "Maritime Banquet" round. You will receive 10 points and become a qualified participant.]

What?

Wen Nannan was about to ask Lu Huai to be next to her when a white light suddenly flashed before her eyes.

When she woke up again, the sea was gone. She was already in the supermarket where she worked part-time.

Wen Nannan looked at her left wrist. There was nothing on it. Her face was smooth, with no trace of being scratched by iron.

So was it really a dream? But the game was too real.
