In the next moment, a dagger nearly sliced open his neck. He raised his hand to block and let go of his legs, kicking towards the two assailants while firmly standing on the floor.
Deli clutched his stomach, his face dark with rage as he fixated on the Chinese man opposite him. With his left hand, he pulled out another knife and swiftly slashed towards the opponent.
Lin Ya glanced at the large man next to him and the others who were eager to charge in. After a moment’s thought, he decided to leave that one for them and counter the attack from another person.
“Cough, cough…” Bill, whose face was flushed and contorted, coughed twice, holding his neck as palpitations coursed through him. He had nearly had his neck broken.
Now he no longer underestimated these Chinese individuals. His eyes, though still filled with slight fear, were gradually replaced with rage as he regained himself and swung his axe forcefully at the two fighting.
White Yuxi’s palms were sweaty, his grip on the knife trembling with tension, yet in the end, Wen Wenshu was the first to charge in.
“Brother Shen! We’re here to help!”
“I’m coming too! Everyone, attack together! Aaaah!”
“Take this!”
“Monkey Steals Peaches!”
“Thousand-Year Kill!”
Others swiftly brandished their weapons, encircling the robust man wielding the axe, assaulting his vital spots without regard for their safety.
It’s said that two fists cannot fight against four hands. Even though he wielded a sharp weapon, he was still overwhelmed by the reckless rush of so many people, rendering him unable to swing the axe.
Regardless of injuries sustained, many grit their teeth and refused to let go, directing various weapons toward flesh and skin; even the mightiest would eventually bleed and be wounded.
Thus…
By the time Lin Ya dealt with the other opponent, this guy was already on the brink of collapse.
Seeing others preparing to deliver the final blow, Lin Ya hurriedly intervened. They still had viewers in the live stream; they couldn’t kill anyone.
“Don’t kill them; they’re already incapacitated. That’s enough. We need to find a place to relocate…”
In the live stream, some viewers criticized them for being indecisive, but once they actually killed someone, those same people would likely come up with another excuse.
Chapter 33: Ocean Cruise Battle Royale (Part Eight)
[Ahhhh! That scared me to death!]
[These guys have killed plenty of people before! The other perspective is far more brutal than our compatriots’, terrifying.]
[I really dislike that blonde guy; he’s disgusting! If he hadn’t run away quickly, we’d have taken him down with Shen!]
[Brother Shen, you’re amazing! Your skills are incredible!]
[What’s most commendable is the speed of reaction, it’s extraordinary!]
[Will Brother Shen still act after this?]
[Probably not… After experiencing something like this, I heard it was because he got tricked into going abroad for a variety show.]
[Why not just kill them?!]
[Killing isn’t really good, is it…?]
[Is the person upstairs a saint? They’re trying to kill you, but you won’t kill them?]
[I really don’t understand why we don’t just take them out! They’ve killed so many people! Vengeance! It’s driving me crazy!]
“Brother Shen, why aren’t we killing them?” The question came from the usually timid He Yu.
Lin Ya led them from the audio-visual room to the captain’s cabin. Along the way, they encountered quite a few attackers, but he mainly targeted their hands to prevent them from killing.
“To answer that question, while I don’t know if Little Brother Shen thinks the same as I do,” said Li Xu, whose pale face bore signs of an axe wound on his shoulder. After using some medicine Lin Ya found, his color improved a bit. Hearing He Yu’s question, he leaned in to speak.
The others grew curious, looking over. Most of them had suffered minor injuries, but only a few girls remained unscathed.
Luo Chu and Luo Yuan approached; they had practiced some military boxing and escaped without being harmed by the axe, only suffering a couple of bumps on their heads from being knocked.
“Why?” Lv Ci also moved closer, fortunate to have only been hit in the face, which had reddened but nothing more.
White Yuxi had some thoughts and looked at the indifferent young man, feeling he might understand a bit.
Li Xu smiled wryly, his innocent face now marked by a hint of bitterness, as if lost in reminiscence. He sighed, “When I was young, I was once imprisoned for murder…”
He briefly recounted some foolish actions from his youth, when China had yet to crack down on gangs. He had followed a group into the underworld, and one time, after drinking too much, he ended up in a fight, accidentally killing someone and landing in jail.
“Though it was an accident, I’ve carried guilt over it until now. I still dream about the victim coming to find me. Over twenty years have passed, and every year I send money to his parents and family. Even if they have forgiven me, I haven’t forgiven myself.”
“As long as you kill someone, you will forever bear the label of a murderer. Of course, if we were to kill now, it could be considered self-defense, but once you cross that line, you can never go back…”
“Handling it like Little Brother Shen is actually the best. If they die, it’s their fault, and it won’t fall on us.”
White Yuxi nodded thoughtfully and asked, “What if only we are left?”
“It’s too early to say that; it’s only the beginning of the few days, right? There are about 1,000 people on this ship. Although we don’t know how many are left now, there has to be at least half remaining, right?” Wen Wenshu quickly chimed in as everyone else fell silent.
“Indeed, I’m thinking too much! Ha, haha…” White Yuxi realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly corrected himself.
“By then, we might have already been rescued…”
“Yeah, yeah.”
After an afternoon of intense experiences, many went to sleep early, but Lin Ya couldn’t fall asleep.
He felt that he currently lacked many necessary skills. If he knew how to operate a ship, their mission would be much easier. Driving the ship back directly could encounter those sent to silence them or handle the ship, but with the live broadcast, that concern was alleviated.
Upon returning, he needed to learn how to navigate a ship, and it would be best to learn to pilot a plane as well…
