Chapter 450: 433 “Elite Unit”
Translator: 549690339
The atmosphere has a very strong influence on people.
If someone wants to increase their chances of landing on the island, the smartest thing to do at this time would definitely not be to recklessly rush to the front of the team.
The front rafts will obviously be the first to encounter Helicoprion and giant sea creatures, with a very low chance of survival.
But at this moment, the players at the scene seem to not have any idea of “holding back and letting others find a path first,” as they all desperately row, fearing to fall behind.
It’s as if this isn’t a desperate assault with a frighteningly high death rate, but an intense rowing race.
The three major website live streaming platforms, the two major mobile live streaming platforms, and countless audiences in dozens of live streaming rooms are all casting their attention here.
Even under such a large diversion, the vast majority of anchors in the live broadcast room feel far beyond the usual heat!
Whether it’s the audience numbers, the comments, or the number of gifts, they are all pleasantly surprised.
And with Yunmeng’s mature diversion mechanism, there would be no case of one diversion mirror being full before opening a second.
It is even less likely that there would be a situation where one mirror image had too many players to place paddles, while another mirror image had only a few rafts on the entire sea.
What the audience sees in all the live streaming rooms is a red-hot scene!
In an instant, everyone in and outside the game is infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere.
“Charge, charge, charge!” one after another anchor is so excited that they row the paddle in their hand while shouting “One, two, one, two,” commanding the rowing rhythm of the crew.
Everyone, fearless of life and death, rushes towards Dinosaur Island with great enthusiasm.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the 150-meter death line.
Without any accidents, the Helicoprion appeared immediately!
The player at the front instantly raised a megaphone and shouted at everyone, “The sharks are here! Get your weapons!”
The megaphone instantly amplified the sound several times, so even players far away could hear it clearly.
Everyone immediately raised their guard, no longer focusing on rowing, but having half of them pick up their weapons, watching the waters around the raft, wary of Helicoprion that might emerge at any time.
And all these weapons have one common characteristic – they are long.
Of course, the most common type is the various spears. In addition to pure wooden spears with sharpened tips, many others have been fitted with metal spearheads or even bundled with metal bone-removing knives.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
—Some players have curiously discovered that even if you wear a chef’s outfit or a butcher’s outfit, you can’t bring a kitchen knife or a bone-removing knife into the amusement park.
But!
If you don’t bring just one, but wear a whole set of them, and neatly put them in a box...
Then you can bring them in!
It’s that ridiculous.
Similar rules apply to many other occupations with “dangerous tools.”
After obtaining this information, Yi put on a bulletproof suit again, went to the gun shop to buy a brand new Desert Eagle and two boxes of unopened bullets, put them neatly in a gun case, and tried to bring the gun case into the amusement park.
The good news is that the gun case was brought in.
The bad news is that the gun and bullets inside were gone...
Leaving aside the laughter from the live broadcast room audience due to Yi’s actions, this information greatly facilitated the players in acquiring tools.
And with the tools, the players’ situation improved significantly.
The megaphone is just the smallest impact.
The bigger impact is – faster raft making efficiency and more robust raft structure.
An obvious change is that on the way here, no raft fell apart halfway.
Even the player at the very front, who shouted to remind everyone of the sharks, got hit by a Helicoprion on the side of the raft as soon as he finished speaking. The raft shook violently, and everyone was drenched by the splashing sea water.
But when everyone checked the raft in fear and trepidation, they found that it was almost unscathed, just a piece of bark being knocked off at the point of impact.
Although there was no smoke or fire on the ocean, the intensity was no less.
Every moment a raft disintegrated, and every moment a player died.
But even in such a harsh battlefield, seen from above, the players were still collectively moving closer to Dinosaur Island!
Even though their speed had slowed down and fewer people survived as they got closer, their steps did not hesitate at all.
Even if their teammates died right next to them, even if they could reach out and grab the teammate being dragged off the raft, the paddlers didn’t waver—
“Even if the sky falls today! Don’t even think about stopping me from rowing!”
“Row! Row, damn it!”
“Row until you die if it won’t kill you!”
Blood, sacrifice, bravery, and facing death without fear!
Everything was there!
Moreover, the huge difference in size between the players and the sea monsters, and the close combat with cold weapons, made the scene even more epic!
Apart from a few audience members in the live broadcast room who were too scared to watch, everyone else was boiling with excitement, wishing they could rush to the scene and take the place of the players!
But... unfortunately, they no longer had the opportunity to do so.
Not only tonight, but also not in the next few days.
Because the [Mirage 2.0] consoles, with the boost from Alex’s Virtual Concert, had already sold out...
And the current battle for the island was clearly not going to last until Saturday.
But even with such a grand scene, just being able to watch was a feast for the eyes.
Even Lincoln, reminded by Mavis, temporarily put down his work, came to the sky in stealth mode, and watched the desperate but fierce battle on the ocean with admiration.
“Mavis, save this segment of the video, please.”
“Ok, ok, I’ve been recording it!” Mavis was always reliable.
However, as Lincoln watched the tense and fierce battle on the sea and the staggering casualty rate at the forefront of the Dare To Die Squad, he frowned.
“The casualty rate is too high! If we keep going at this rate, once the Pterosaurs join in, it’ll collapse, right?”
Logically, the later the players landed on the island, the better for him, as he would have more time to modify the park.
But watching the vast number of players fighting on the ocean, unwilling to give up their lives, charging toward Dinosaur Island as a Dare To Die Squad, risking death for a glimmer of hope for success, even if they themselves weren’t the successful ones...
Seeing this, the scale in Lincoln’s heart began to tilt, leaning more toward the players.
It was as if sensing Lincoln’s emotions, Mavis gently shook his arm and said, “Master~ Look over there!”
Lincoln followed Mavis’s finger, and saw a boat.
Yes, not a raft, but a real boat!
And this boat, amazingly, didn’t rely on paddles for power, but on an engine!
Not only the power, but the whole boat was incredibly bizarre—
Unlike the crude rafts, the body of this boat was not only clean and smooth, but even had waterproof paint applied to the outside!
There were a total of three propeller engines at the stern of the boat!
Moreover, at the front of the boat, there was a thick layer of metal reinforcement, and at the very front of the metal stood an extremely sharp steel plate, only as wide as a single finger!
It looked like—a vertically standing sharp blade!
It was identical to the giant blade used on Lincoln’s heavy truck during the Indiscriminate Death Race!
Sitting at the stern of the boat, the [King of the Ocean] pressed the switch beside him, and with a loud blast, a speaker taking up valuable space on the boat began to play powerful rock music.
With the passionate drumbeat, this “armed speedboat” sped past one raft after another, following an almost straight line, straight to the front line!
The “elite unit” among the players had finally joined the battlefield!
