Chapter 360: Shipwreck Day

"Arrived near the estimated location. Distance to accurate positioning: 500 meters."

The prompt from the contractor's equipment woke Gloria up, and she stretched and sat up from the bed. After opening her eyes and looking around, Gloria felt very confused. It might be because she had just woken up, so she didn't immediately understand what was happening.

But thanks to her enhanced body, Gloria reacted quickly. Something had happened, because what she saw when she looked up was not the ceiling, but the calm sea, the cloudless sky, and the sun shining brightly.

Gloria threw back the quilt and jumped off the bed, wanting to check carefully what happened. But as soon as her feet touched the ground, she immediately found that she was standing in calf-deep water. Since most of the furnishings in the room were made of metal, they did not float on the water, which was one of the reasons why Gloria did not notice that the room was flooded by seawater at first.

Before observing the situation, Gloria turned her head to look at the bed. Fortunately, Han Zu was not missing and was still sleeping. It can be seen that he was sleeping soundly because he was lying on the bed with his left hand stretched into the sea water outside the bed, but he still did not wake up.

"All data are normal."

The contractor's equipment was used to test Han Zu's various features. Fortunately, there was no problem. Gloria breathed a sigh of relief and began to study what had happened.

Gloria was in one of the VIP guest areas on the cruise ship. Although it was on the fourth floor, there were some other facilities at the bottom of the guest area, so the actual height should be around the fifth or sixth floor. There should be another three or four floors above the room, but at this time, all the buildings on the cruise ship that were higher than her room had disappeared.

By checking the gaps in the wall, it was found that the broken positions were not neat, and it looked like it was caused by external force. Although the walls on all sides were damaged, they were not completely missing, and other rooms could be seen from behind the gaps. Gloria observed it briefly and found that the broken marks on the walls that she could see were similar, and although irregular, the heights were almost the same, so the entire VIP guest area should have been destroyed at the same time.

"The vehicle's altitude changes are normal and consistent with the frequency of the waves."

Another very strange thing is the state of the cruise ship. According to common sense, if the sea water has not reached this height, then the cruise ship should be sinking at the fastest speed and will sink completely immediately. However, according to the inspection of the contractor's equipment, the cruise ship remains submerged in the sea and floats on the sea. And it is completely different from the normal state of a sinking ship. The cruise ship is currently very flat, as if something has grabbed the entire cruise ship and pressed it into the sea.

"A large number of life forms detected, status: dead."

"Number: 8733"

It was not surprising to detect the death of people, but the number of deaths was strange. Although the cruise ship was in its current state, there was a game cabin area of ​​the Infinite City on the cruise ship. When Gloria and Han Zu passed by before, the game cabin area was always full. Moreover, the faces inside were different every time they passed by. This proved that there were at least two hundred Infinite City players on this ship. In the Infinite City, the ability to move freely on the water was very common, and they must be stronger than ordinary people, so even if not all Infinite City players could survive, at least there should not be the current number of deaths.

There were only 8479 people on the cruise ship, including the staff and all the tourists. Excluding Chu Yi and Leslie who had already left, as well as himself and Han Zu, there were 8475 people. Even if everyone on the ship died except the four of them, where did the extra 258 people come from?

"Han Zu, Han Zu? Han Zu!"

"Um...."

"Get up! Don't sleep any more, something happened!"

The inexplicable situation made Gloria start to have wild thoughts. She needed a reassurance to calm herself down and sort out her thoughts before investigating what happened on the cruise ship. So Gloria immediately and rudely woke up Han Zu.

"Hey~~~~Are we there yet?"

"No, but it was very close. Something happened to the cruise ship."

Han Zu yawned as he learned about the state of the cruise ship from the huge changes in the surrounding environment. During the time when Han Zu was awake and dozing off, Gloria told Han Zu what she had just discovered. Gloria was relieved that she didn't have to deal with this situation alone.

"I can see a broken warship a few hundred meters away. The extra 200 dead people should be the soldiers on the warship. I can see the national flag on the warship. It is a warship of the Russian bear. Although when I sent the fake distress signal, I sent it to the warship of the Eagle Sauce, but the information was intercepted once in the middle, so it is not surprising that the Russian bear's warship appeared here. After all, there are several wealthy people from the Bear Country on this cruise ship."

"I just scanned it again with the equipment. It seems that there are still some living people on the ship. They are moving. Are they...?"

"Well, the players of Infinite City are scattered, but most of them are gathered at the bow, about 150 people. There is a team of more than a dozen players near us, probably trying to find more survivors. There are about 30 to 40 people at the stern, and they are using what looks like communication skills to communicate with others. The analysis given by the equipment shows that they are the group of people at the bow."

"There are more than 200 players from the Infinite City on this ship. Are they all alive?"

"Not really. The equipment found some bodies of players from the Infinite City that I recorded before. There are more than 20 of them. But compared to the total number, it's a small number."

"That means all the ordinary people are dead."

"Yes. Why, are you a little too saintly?"

"How is that possible? I'm just glad that I'm not an ordinary person."

"Wow! What a cruel woman. Don't you have any sympathy at all?"

Although Han Zu seemed to be accusing Gloria of being cruel, Gloria understood that Han Zu didn't care about the more than 8700 dead people around him. He was definitely preparing to continue his journey to the third coordinate. Being able to send out a rescue signal before was already a great act of kindness on Han Zu's part.

Seeing Gloria's contempt and disgust, Han Zu naturally knew that Gloria had guessed his thoughts. So he pinched his throat and imitated the sound of the contractor's equipment, making a weird move.

"Ahem! Emotions of contempt and disgust detected, target's psychological activity: You dog!"

"...not funny at all. You beast."

"Ok."

"What do they do?"

"The surviving Infinite City players have all kinds of skills. As long as they don't fight among themselves, they will definitely have no problem surviving. There are large banquet halls at the bow and stern. Although the kitchen at the back was flooded by seawater, the waterproof hatch prevented the seawater from seeping in. The food inside is enough to feed the entire ship for half a month, not to mention that there are only about 200 people left now."

"Won't they be stranded at sea? Food and water will eventually run out."

"That won't happen. Some of them have communication skills and are already trying to contact rescue. Those who can board this cruise ship are either rich or noble. It's only a matter of time before they can contact rescue."

"Can I help them? After all, this is indeed the deep ocean."

"Okay, I have no objection. But please hurry up. Someone is coming our way. We'd better leave immediately before they get here."

"it is good."

Gloria had more humanity than Han Zu after all. Using her contractor equipment, Gloria strengthened the signal of the players with communication skills on the cruise ship and helped them contact the rescue. Then she put on the clothes thrown on the standing lamp, followed Han Zu to bypass the rescue team of the survivors, and dived into the sea from the side of the cruise ship.

Less than a minute later.

"Is anyone here? We're here to help... Weird, no one's in here?"

"It shouldn't be like this? I just searched and found two life signals here."

"Is there something wrong with your skills? After all, you have been busy all the time and it consumes a lot of energy. It is normal to make mistakes."

"Maybe."

"Why don't you take a break? I can take your place for a while. Although my skills aren't as strong as yours, they can still be used."

"Okay, thanks. I do have a headache."

A team of ten people, who were tourists on the ship and also players of Infinite City, entered the room where Han Zu and Gloria had lived. The player with information skills felt a little confused after seeing that there was no one inside. However, his companion's words made him put the matter aside quickly.

"Let's keep looking. In case there are still survivors, we will stay here and search for them. You guys continue to search for other survivors."

"it is good."

Meanwhile, the stern. Top of the stern rides that survived the wreck.

Perhaps it was lucky that an amusement facility located at the stern was not destroyed like other locations at the same height of the cruise ship. Currently, this location, the highest point of the entire cruise ship, is used by the survivors as a lookout tower to search for survivors and observe the situation in the sea around the cruise ship. Currently, there is a scout team observing other locations of the cruise ship here.

"Are there two ripples in the sea over there?"

"It could be a big marlin. There are indeed big marlins around here."

"But this thing seems to swim much faster than a giant marlin. Could it be something else? Like a shark or something?"

"That's possible. Forget it, don't be distracted and continue looking for any survivors."

"okay."

Also at this time, at the gathering point of survivors at the bow, because the bow was relatively close to the location of the broken warship not far away, some survivors from the Bear Country planned to go over and see if they could find some survivors and then bring them to the cruise ship. After all, the situation of the broken warship was much worse than that of the half-sunken cruise ship.

"Be careful. If you accidentally encounter a school of sharks or other difficult-to-deal-with marine creatures, signal us and we can provide you with some support."

"Thanks, friends. Sokolov! Let's go!"

Following the leader's shout, several Bear people jumped into the sea. Using their abilities to move on or under water, they quickly approached the location of the broken warship a few hundred meters away. After reaching it, they found that the state of the broken warship was almost the same as that of the cruise ship, both in a state of being half-submerged but floating in the sea and not continuing to sink.

After searching the broken warship for about half an hour, the bears actually found quite a few survivors, about 30 people. The first-level leadership of the warship had died for their country. The leader of the remaining 30 people was a lieutenant on the ship, who was about 30 years old. After seeing these compatriots who came to look for survivors, the lieutenant hugged them with gratitude. Then he told the rescuers a piece of news that confused them.

"Thank you. If you hadn't cut open the waterproof hatch underwater just now, my brother would have died underwater due to lack of oxygen."

"Underwater? We didn't dive down? Where was your brother on the warship?"
