Chapter 504: Chapter 504 Self-Rescue Method

"We also need to seize the chance to try," another player heard their conversation and said, "What else is there to do but wait for death?"

Xu Huo was concerned about something else, "Does an unstable space mean that this area can’t be integrated into the game?"

Previously, the boss of the amusement park instance, Little Pink Hat, had told him that it was extremely dangerous to launch an instance in an unstable space, because collisions between spaces could lead to irreparable consequences beyond just the collapse of the instance.

"That’s not necessarily true," Selin interjected, "The sea area chosen by the Nobles of Zone 011 must be safe, even if there are unstable zones, they should be like the railway tracks that pass through, relatively safe, and not likely to cause a disaster that affects the entire sea area."

"Aren’t all these mutagenic species living well here?"

"Take a gamble, a bike might just turn into a motorcycle!" said a player behind them, "Our only way out now is to find that unstable zone."

Selin and the others shared the same opinion, but to change the course they needed to go down to the third level below, if the master controller of this Prop Ship still worked.

Therefore, the current self-rescue plan was to find the fuel brought by Lu Yun, clear a path, and then head down to the control room on the third level below to adjust the master controller to return to the original course, and maybe they could use their tickets to escape after eking out another half hour.

But the success rate of this plan was also very low.

The fact that control of the ship was in the hands of the player who possessed it was a difficult issue to resolve.

"I believe God won’t abandon us," Selin touched his chest twice.

Because the status of the ship had changed, all the communication tools on board were unusable, and they couldn’t directly reach the control room. In fact, there were quite a few players hidden on the third level below. If they could make direct contact, both sides could cooperate and save time.

They fought their way through the obstructive seagrass limbs to the staff workroom Lu Yun mentioned, and after searching, they found several boxes of fuel powder.

"This is the powder of a special mineral that can burn for a long time once ignited. We don’t need to burn the ship, we just need to clear a path in the corridor. That kind of seagrass is very afraid of fire," Lu Yun distributed the fuel to everyone, "I’ll lead the way."

To reach the third level below, they had to use the elevators inside the floors. After spreading the fuel powder to repel the seagrass, the group took the elevator down. However, as soon as they descended, some black sludge-like substances began seeping out from the metal gaps, continuously pouring into the narrow space and jamming the elevator on the third floor.

Xu Huo decisively returned to the fifth floor, "The three levels below might already be flooded."

"So many players down there..." Lu Yun frowned, "Some should have escaped."

Indeed, some had escaped. Not everyone was submerged on the three levels below. Some people tried to escape via the companion ships outside, so there were quite a few who stayed on the fourth floor. Unfortunately, even the interiors and exteriors of the companion ships were entwined with seagrass. Additionally, being close to the mutagenic giant squid, perhaps because they hadn’t been coated with special paint, the two companion ships to the left and right of the main ship had already suffered several attacks, and they didn’t look very sturdy anymore.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the ceiling of the fifth floor was punctured, and a figure fell from the sixth floor, crashing into the floor below like a cannonball and creating a huge crater.

"It’s that female player!" Lu Yun exclaimed.

The person who had come down was Bai Kou. She stood amidst the ruins, looking up at the hole above her. Starting from that hole, the ceiling of this floor began to dissolve into ashes, and through the opened up view, it could be seen that both the seventh and sixth floors no longer existed.

"Chirp..." Seaweed Men’s hands grew from afar, surging toward Bai Kou in waves, but the woman surrounded did not even blink. She raised her right index finger and dropped a white potion at the base of the seaweed hand near her foot. In the next second, the arm spasmed wildly, the expanding white spreading like a virus to other touched seaweed, quickly turning all the dark "human arms" on the ground white.

The seaweed nearest to Bai Kou discolored and soon died. When the white spread to the walls, the seaweed products, which resembled mud marshes, also became dry and stiff.

Good lord, an entire seaweed nurturance base had been eradicated as if hit by a powerful herbicide!

Seeing this, Lu Yun was pleased, "Down we go!"

The fifth floor was a place of trouble and not one to linger in; the group started to move toward the elevator again.

Xu Huo, after walking two steps, turned back and took out a doll-shaped potion bottle to cut off the top half.

A stench instantly permeated the air. Bai Kou turned around, saw him tap the chipped bottle, and then impassively shifted her gaze and leapt from the fifth floor. Mid-air, she shouldered the energy cannon and fired at Yuguo coming from below:

"Your prop can melt metal, melt props, but try this—see if you can digest an energy cannon too!"

Yuguo, engaged in battle, flipped in mid-air to dodge, ignoring the fleeting burst of cannon light, and watched Bai Kou with a stern expression, "Young, but oh, so cold-hearted."

Bai Kou paid him no mind and fired again. Neither of the two shots hit Yuguo, but instead, they were aimed at the ship’s central axle. Unfortunately, they didn’t explode near the axle; a tattooed hulk suddenly appeared and swatted the shot into the sea with a swing of his hand!

"Boom!!!!" The explosive sound of energy deafened, stirring the waves and flipping two mutated giant cuttlefish out of the water. Stimulated, the other giant cuttlefish began to churn under the sea.

The ship itself, already rocked by the energy aftershock on the sea surface, started to sway left and right under the thrust of the mutating giant cuttlefish. Corrosive seawater flooded in, quickly submerging the fifth floor.

By this time, Xu Huo had already dressed in a protective suit and gone to the third floor.

Lu Yun and the others successfully found the main control room and adjusted the course, but now the ship was out of control. Under the automated mechanical operation, the ship made a forced turn, leading to two of the engines being damaged.

The alarm sounded, and Lu Yun had no choice but to release control.

Xu Huo entered, glanced around, and understood the situation. He said, "The ship’s main axle seems to have special protection; it hasn’t melted either time."

The others weren’t aware of this, but seeing him switch to the deployment mode, they were shocked. Lu Yun immediately selected shutdown, "We’re not sure whether every floor utilized special materials. Spreading out the floors could fend off the storm, but if the mutating giant cuttlefish attack, the ship might well sink!"

"You’re rather underestimating this prop." Xu Huo said, "Moreover, Captain Matt is still above us. If the ship were in real danger, he wouldn’t just stand by, the true control of the ship is still in his hands."

"If we do get attacked by giant cuttlefish after deployment, he will surely navigate the ship away from this area. In that case, we would be temporarily safe."

"He makes sense." Selin said, "There’s a leak above, and I fear if we wait, the lower levels will flood too. This isn’t ordinary seawater."
