“Hey, you guys! Stop fiddling with your phones and come help dismantle these things. Anything we can use as a weapon should be taken apart! We don’t want those maniacs coming after us and treating us like prey!” The middle-aged man with the satellite phone was working with others to disassemble the decorations and equipment in the media room; even the steel railings had been removed.
At that moment, items that Lin Ya had previously left in the room were also discovered.
“What the hell is this?!”
He initially just wanted to pull the curtains to let more light into the media room, but when he opened them, he was shocked to see a pile of sharp knives and axes, each one even labeled with a number.
“There are actually weapons?! Although there are only ten of them, it’s still better than nothing. At least we can protect ourselves.” The others gathered around, their earlier panic diminishing slightly. “How are we going to divide these up?”
“Uh…”
Ignoring the ensuing chaos among the others, Lin Ya sat at the door, leaning against the wall while monitoring the situation in the live broadcast of the restaurant and other locations.
[Oh my, our people actually found weapons! Now we’re not that far behind the others!]
[Aren’t we supposed to look for food next? There’s nothing but movies in the media room; I see the people in the restaurant heading towards the kitchen.]
[Isn’t it too dangerous? Those people in the restaurant have gone on a killing spree; it scared me to death!]
[We have to find food! If we’re not well-fed, how can we compete with the others?]
[I searched the few killers in the restaurant and found that they’re all foreign fugitives! While I don’t know who two of them are, the other two are A-level fugitives, and they’re serial killers!]
[This is really a real-life survival game! A battle royale, right?! Why bring the Chinese in? Can’t you play by yourselves?!]
[These foreigners are all built like tanks. Do we have any Chinese compatriots who can fight? How else can we handle this?]
[Hey, government, are you taking action or what?!]
[It’s trending already; they must have seen it! Even if they take action, they won’t tell us, especially since we don’t even know where this ship is located.]
In fact, before this live broadcast even trended, it had already been reported.
In just a few hours, all the records of every Chinese person who boarded the ship and appeared on camera were on a leader’s desk.
People who were urgently assembled during the night scrambled to compare data; they quickly investigated everyone’s backgrounds and even rushed to bring their relatives and friends back for questioning, asking if anyone on the ship had mentioned which country they were heading to or the name of the cruise.
After thorough organization, it was revealed that they had all been lured onto the ship through various schemes, pretending to be participating in a variety show, while in reality, they had gone abroad alone. Further investigations showed that there was no registration for this entertainment company in the country, and the so-called director was not even a native Chinese.
This meant that from the very beginning, they had been organized and lured out of the country, similar to how certain illegal groups trick new employees into going abroad under the pretense of team-building activities.
Without waiting for the official announcement, the live broadcast went viral through online user sharing, attracting a slew of foreign viewers to the stream.
This nearly overwhelmed the platform.
Clips from the live broadcast spread across foreign networks; it was manageable on the first day, but by the second day, it exploded online.
[Oh my God!]
[I don’t know how to express this! Shocked!]
[Guys… this is a big deal!]
[What is the government doing? This is utterly dark!]
[This is terrifying! I can’t believe it!]
[If I were on that ship, I would kill those damn guys! f**k!]
[Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? Is this real or just a movie?]
[Who is behind this? How do they have such power?]
…
Currently, this incident is only trending within the country, with news expected to spread to foreign networks tomorrow.
The once-bright restaurant was now tainted with blood; collapsed tables, smashed dishes, and pools of fresh blood surrounded bodies lying in various positions on the floor.
The instigator spat out blood and coldly glanced at a still-warm body on the floor. He then raised his hand and stabbed the body twice, before wiping the blood from his clothes and standing up.
The man with slightly curly long hair and deep-set eyes exchanged glances with a few others and coldly turned his head to walk outside.
“Hey, guys, now is not the time to argue. The mission isn’t complete yet. If you keep this up, I’m going to get angry.” The cheerful blond giant smiled at the two, “Once I find the gun, you two better watch out.”
“Hmph, Charlie, don’t talk big; I’ll find it first!” said another middle-aged man with long brown braids, cleaning his knife and grinning, “Even if I don’t find it, my knife can take care of you guys.”
“Enough, let’s deal with the other monkeys first!” Charlie chuckled, “Since we agreed to team up temporarily, let’s check the kitchen for food first.”
“You don’t want to starve while killing people, right, Deli?”
“Hmph…”
They needed to go to the kitchen as well, but it could wait. Although they might run into trouble, it was better to avoid it if possible.
Lin Ya switched his viewpoint to another live camera that was moving around.
He didn’t know how many people with special identities were on the ship, but it must be a considerable number. According to Shen Zhi Yi’s memories, by the tenth day, most ordinary tourists would likely be dead; there would only be about 50 people left on the ship when the announcement came.
He hoped the government would act quickly; otherwise, he would be unable to resist taking matters into his own hands.
Although it could be considered self-defense, once he returned, he still intended to fulfill the original owner’s wish of becoming an actor, and he couldn’t have any dark spots on his record.
