Chapter 1 The Sorrowful Sea

Lin Yu gazed at the boundless sea before him, his heart filled with sorrow.

Turning back, he glanced at the pitch-black sky, his heart heavy with depression.

Was this some kind of natural disaster?

Damn it, looking at the group of wild beasts plunging into the sea like dumplings, he could only think, "you jump, i..."

"Bah!" He wouldn't jump!

Didn't he see those wild beasts several meters, even ten meters tall, only showing their heads after going down?

Even if he could swim, how long could he swim in this boundless sea?

A series of questions bloomed in his mind, but because he couldn't shake off his primitive, elementary language system, he couldn't utter a complete complaint even after moving his lips for a long time!

However, when people are angry and cursing, a simple, unadorned "fuck" is often enough.

Therefore, his uncivilized behavior caused the points on his wrist counter to drop a few points quietly.

When Ming Mei and the others arrived at the seaside with the long-necked dinosaurs to rest and found Lin Yu and his remaining four companions, Lin Yu was crouching on a reef, scratching his head in frustration because he had found that he had cursed too much, causing his score to drop.

"Ahhh! Lin… ahhh ahhh!"

As Tu Ling, Lin Yu's childhood friend, suddenly saw the group of players appearing before them, he was both surprised and excited. He pushed Lin Yu, who was crouching on the reef, almost pushing him off.

"What?!"

Lin Yu was already annoyed, but he turned his head impatiently because of Tu Ling's shout, and was dumbfounded.

"Huh?"

Holy crap? Am I seeing things? So many people?!

"Lin Yu?"

Lu Gui, Qi Hai Kui, and the others who had cooperated with Lin Yu in the apocalypse副本 (fùběn, instance or scenario) took a step forward. With this greeting, Lin Yu and his group of five finally came back to their senses from their dazed, unreal feeling!

"You…"

The group of players who couldn't speak complete sentences looked at the dozen or so people surrounding them. Standing on the reef, Lin Yu looked further out and saw that there seemed to be even more people not far away.

He was so surprised that his mouth almost didn't close.

Heavens!

These people…

He subconsciously lowered his head to look at the points bracelet. Good, he had dropped from 29 points to 22 points because of cursing, but the total score below was still so high.

They used to live in a group of a dozen people, and everyone's points were limited. Of the almost unreal 7000 total points, they had contributed less than 300.

And because they had noticed the animals' restless migration a few days ago, they had decisively left their original residence, sacrificing most of their companions to survive.

Lin Yu had thought that the fate of their group of five was coming to an end when he saw the wild beasts plunging into the sea like dumplings.

But he didn't expect to meet so many players at this time!

…

"Wow, you guys are amazing, you can do so much by just using gestures and single-syllable sounds to communicate..."

After eating the food Ming Mei handed over, Lin Yu and the others gradually recovered their language skills. On the one hand, they were amazed by the special identity牌 (páizi, badge or card) that Ming Mei had obtained, and on the other hand, they felt guilty and didn't dare to accept Ming Mei's praise.

"It's not as good as you said… our scores…"

Lin Yu pursed his lips. Tu Ling and the other players next to him also smiled awkwardly. They had noticed just now that the individual scores on the bracelets of these people were basically above 50.

Basically, they were twice their average ＿(：3」∠)_

Even the priest小姐 (xiǎojiě, miss) who had just handed them boxed lunches had nearly 120 personal points on her bracelet.

Awesome!

Truly a fierce person!

"That's because the priest was away. It's amazing that you guys could live for so long without a priest and still earn so many points!

After you join, whether it's language or other talents that are unlocked, your score will rise steadily, don't worry!"

Qi Hai Kui patted Lin Yu's shoulder. Only then did he ask Lin Yu how long they had been at the seaside.

To be honest, Ming Mei and the others were also incredulous when they followed the long-necked dinosaurs to the seaside, especially the way the dinosaurs rushed into the sea one by one. Not to mention Lin Yu, they were also speechless.

Fortunately, the long-necked dinosaurs didn't seem to plan to go into the water like the other wild beasts immediately. Instead, they began to forage nearby, as if they were planning to go into the sea after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

The long-necked dinosaurs were even as intelligent as humans, gently touching the weapons that Zhen Hu and the others often carried on their backs with their huge heads. Although they didn't quite understand what they meant, Zhen Hu boldly speculated that they wanted them to prepare their weapons properly.

Was this hinting that the sea was not peaceful?

"We've been here for four or five days. Every day, there are all kinds of wild beasts, and some other animals follow them into the sea."

Speaking of this, Lin Yu had a lot to say. After all, they had been observing for many days.

"This sea is not as calm as it looks on the surface." While speaking, Lin Yu turned his gaze to the distant blue sea. "I've been watching at the seaside for several days, and there are hunters in the sea. These days are like the New Year. Although we can't see very far, we can still see some wild beast carcasses that have been washed up by the waves overnight."

"Those carcasses look like they've been torn apart and eaten, and they look pretty fresh. They should be wild beasts or animals that have recently gone into the sea."

"Hiss—"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp after hearing what Lin Yu said. This was too scary, wasn't it?

There are risks in going to sea, so be careful when entering the water.

Ming Mei turned her head again to look at the increasingly dark part of the sky on the other side, which looked a little larger than it had been two days ago.

"If we don't go to sea, we'll be swallowed by darkness and die anyway. If we go to sea, there's a high probability that we'll encounter underwater monsters…"

Even Lu Gui and the others were silent.

"Looking at it now, the wild beasts that brought us here seem to want to take us into the sea. The danger in the sea is indeed high, but looking at these wild beasts and beasts rushing into the sea as if their lives depended on it, it can only be said that the things in the sea are still not as terrible as this dark disaster."

Mu Chen spoke, and Ming Mei also nodded, adding, "Didn't Zhen Hu also say that the long-necks are preparing to go into the sea? They even seemed to rub against your bone knife. He guessed that the long-necked wild beasts might be trying to remind us that there are things in the sea and that we should also prepare for battle. What's the point of us sitting together and doing nothing because of unknown fear if we don't prepare properly now?"

Ming Mei tried to cheer everyone up. Hearing Ming Mei's words, everyone made a decision in their hearts.

"That's right, if we don't prepare properly, we'll probably be gone. If we prepare properly, it's not the first time we've worked together with the long-necks to drive away those guys who want to attack us! My precious knife is already hungry and thirsty!"

Hu Ge'er said, caressing the bone knife that had accompanied him for so long as if he were caressing a lover. The sight of him doing that made everyone present call out, "Good guy, a pervert is actually by my side?"

When Hu Ge'er found them alone, he wanted to "worship the mountain" and hug his thigh. At that time, Ming Mei privately reminded him that doing so would displease the girl he secretly loved.

As a result, Hu Ge'er's face darkened at that time, and he only said that he didn't like anyone anymore.

Later, after Hu Ge'er and Madison and the Zhen brothers mixed together and played very well, he confessed why he suddenly didn't like anyone anymore.

Because when Hu Ge'er first entered the game, he met the person he secretly loved, and then when they were being chased by wild beasts, the other person didn't even think about it and directly stabbed Hu Ge'er, pushing him onto another dead end to attract the wild beasts so they could run away first.

Hu Ge'er, who wasn't supposed to die, finally realized that a simp never gets a good ending ＿(：3」∠)_

After hearing about his experience, who wouldn't say, "Brother, my condolences?"
