Soon, a live streaming room appeared on a certain domestic video platform.
Named “Overseas Real Cruise Survival,” the room suddenly took over the platform’s front page, and the number of viewers skyrocketed from a handful to a crowd.
[Rabbit Head is Delicious: I got attracted by the name…]
[Kiss My Treasure: Wow, this live stream is actually inside a cruise ship.]
[Young Master is the Best: Where do you see that? Isn’t it in the restaurant?]
[Kiss My Treasure: You can click the switch view on the side; this angle shows the sea outside.]
[Tiger Qi: It looks like this is indeed abroad. There are a lot of foreigners, but… are they arguing? It feels like they are about to fight.]
[Run: How did this live stream suddenly take over the homepage with a title like that…?]
[Yan: Indeed, the title is hard to evaluate.]
[Brave Knowledge: By the way… where is the host…?]
[Zhi Zhi: This angle looks like it was shot by a drone; indeed, it’s hard to see who the host is.]
Lin Ya casually glanced at the situation in the live stream room, not caring much; he was waiting.
Soon, when the minute hand of the wall clock pointed to 3, a voice echoed throughout the restaurant, or rather, the whole ship.
“Welcome everyone to—”
“The Undead, I am your captain, Hades.” A slightly hoarse voice came from the sound tubes all around, suppressing the excitement bubbling from the heart, followed by a strange, perverted chuckle. After a pause, he continued.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I know you have many questions, but I am not here to explain.”
“Next, I will announce the game rules!”
“Everyone on the ship is a participant of this game, with a total of 1,000 players present, but there can only be one victor. The last person standing will win 50 million dollars! And will be able to join us.”
“First, there are 100 special items on this ship. If you find them, you will gain a chance to survive. Of course, among the 1,000 of you, there are quite a few undercover agents~ Here’s a little advice: do not trust anyone, or else—”
“You will die.”
“Goodbye~ Good luck to you all~” With a cheerful tone, the voice abruptly vanished.
The entire ship fell silent for a few seconds, then it erupted like cold water suddenly splashing into a hot oil pot.
“What the hell is this?! What kind of game is this?! I refuse to play!” Some people trembled, their faces pale, but their words were defiant.
“I want to go home… Wuu—” Many girls were scared to tears.
He Yu sat there stunned like a zombie, his eyes wide open. After a breakdown, he screamed. After Bai Yuxi patted his shoulder, they both buried their heads and cried.
Lin Ya zoomed in on the screen, the faces of this group of people were captured clearly, and sure enough, more people in the increasingly crowded live stream room recognized him.
[Is this live stream a game? Their cries seem so real.]
[It doesn’t look quite like it…]
[Why do I find that person in the white shirt so familiar?]
[Isn’t that Brother Luo Hua? The male supporting role from Shui Yun Ji, quite popular!].
[It really is! And that one wearing a vest, it’s Wen Wen Xu; I’ve heard him sing before.]
[What’s going on?]
[What kind of large-scale survival game is this? A real-life version, coach, I want to play too!]
The number of people in the live stream quickly surged from hundreds to ten thousand, then to twenty thousand and a hundred thousand. The growth was rapid, mostly driven by the captivating homepage title.
[I saw that Shen Zhi Yi’s agent posted a schedule; weren’t they supposed to be filming a variety show? How come he’s in the live stream room?]
[This doesn’t look like a travel variety show live stream…]
On the fourth floor restaurant of the ship, as the crowd grew restless, conflicts began to arise.
Seeing the tense and chaotic atmosphere in the restaurant, Lin Ya initially wanted everyone to go to a place he had previously scouted: the audio-visual room on the seventh floor. It was remote, and the seats could be adjusted for rest, making it suitable as a stronghold.
However, after he spoke, some disagreed, believing that the room was safer and it had locks, so they proposed to hide in the room and wait for rescue.
“Rescue? This hellhole can’t even get a signal. Even if help arrives, without a location, it will take at least ten days to find us; that’s thinking optimistically.”
“The room is so small, how can so many people squeeze in? I think this young man’s suggestion is good. The audio-visual room is also spacious; we can all fit in there.”
“The more people, the better! We have so many, we’re not afraid of them!” The speaker was a broad-faced middle-aged man, appearing just and brave.
“I’ll listen to Brother Shen.” He Yu sobbed.
“Me too.” Bai Yuxi, with red eyes, nodded, her expression suddenly turning determined, “We must go home!”
Wen Wen Xu also nodded; he trusted Lin Ya, who had always been calm.
Luo Chu and Luo Yuan exchanged glances, “We’ll listen to Brother Shen too.”
Lv Ci looked around, nodding vigorously to show his resolution.
That couple also followed Lin Ya, encouraging each other, “We outnumber them; we are all from Hua Country, surely there’s no traitor among us, but those foreigners can’t be trusted; we will definitely survive!”
Just as they were about to leave the restaurant, they suddenly heard a wave of screams from behind.
“Don’t look back! Quickly go back and pack! Hurry! Most of us are on the fourth floor, let’s gather at the entrance of room 439 later!” Lin Ya turned first, seeing a splash of bright red blood and a blonde blue-eyed man who collapsed with a thud, along with a muscular man beside him with slightly darker skin. His pupils dilated in shock.
Besides him, this was the first person to obtain a weapon. The weapons had been roughly half found, and it was somewhat unexpected that someone would act this fast with a knife.
