Chapter 403: Collective Hallucination

Long Chui Chui posted videos and news online, along with various data files.

The riffraff on the cruise ship, just like the previous group, didn't know that what awaited them would be torment like hell.

The ship had gourmet food, a shopping mall, a game hall, and various amusement facilities.

There were also handsome men and beautiful female stars from Han Guo.

Even though the ship announced that the communication system had problems and would take some time to fix, they didn't feel anything was wrong.

They came onto the ship through a legitimate company.

Dingsheng Entertainment, that is the country's second‑largest entertainment company.

There were also stars from Han Guo accompanying them.

Although winning seemed unbelievably lucky, there was little doubt.

Everyone was immersed in joy.

The cruise ship's Cockpit was locked.

The autopilot system made the massive cruise ship sail toward the depths of Taipingyang.

After reaching the location, the fuel would be exhausted.

Then the cruise ship would lose power; a timed destruction device would blow up the engines, letting seawater flood the supermarket and the food storage warehouses.

At that point, the only thing left would be electricity for lighting.

The ship's lights would stay on, and hidden cameras would record the ship's situation 24 hours a day.

No food, no fresh water…

The entire ship would become a barren island with nothing.

To survive as much as possible, what kind of situation will occur next.

There's no need to guess; it's obvious.

Then, will this ship be found?

Don't be fooled by how advanced Satellite technology is today, but locating a ship drifting with the currents in the vast ocean is still extremely difficult.

If there is no electromagnetic signal, relying solely on Satellite imaging to search, especially under cloud cover,

is like looking for a speck finer than a needle tip inside a room.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many missing ships at sea.

Late night!

Just like last time, Long Xiaoyu and Zhou Tong commanded a dozen subordinates,

forcing the captain and several Han Guo stars onto three inflatable boats with guns.

In the dim light, the massive cruise ship drifted farther and farther from the three inflatable boats, eventually disappearing from their sight.

Soon, a submarine surfaced.

Long Xiaoyu led the people onto the submarine.

Where did this submarine come from?

Of course it was half‑sale, half‑gift, bought from a port in Er Mao.

It was originally an outdated submarine, its weapons stripped, normally used for sightseeing tours.

It was purchased for a few million dollars.

The sailors who operated the submarine were, of course, hired for money.

A dozen retired, dissatisfied old men didn't mind piloting an unarmed submarine to give a rich person a tour of Taipingyang's scenery.

They knew nothing.

This matter will definitely be investigated later.

But by then, Long Xiaoyu and Zhou Tong had already hidden themselves in the Amazon Rainforest.

Of course, buying the submarine and the hiding spot were all aided and guided by Lin Feng.

After the heat dies down, spend more money to fix the appearance, create a new identity, and then appear before everyone with full confidence.

Morning of July 30th.

The riffraff gradually woke up.

They ran to the restaurant to eat the free breakfast.

But there was not a single staff member in the restaurant.

Not only were the staff absent, there was not even a morsel of food.

The hungry riffraff sensed something was wrong, went up to the bridge to look for the captain.

But the Cockpit had been welded shut.

Some ran into the supermarket, others descended into the storage rooms.

And no one knew who triggered the mechanism.

Boom…

A deafening blast.

The ship was blown a huge hole.

Seawater rushed madly into the compartments.

The massive cruise ship is compartmentalized; blowing a few compartments won't make the vessel sink.

But this lets seawater flood in, soaking all the food.

The riffraff finally panicked.

Events from over half a year ago finally resurfaced in their minds.

It's not that their memory is poor.

But to these scumbags, this matter is truly terrifying.

Scumbags with a bit of conscience chose to pull back, no longer doing such heaven-defying, reason-defying deeds.

The scumbags still on the ship are, of course, deliberately forgetting.

Some people don't take something seriously unless it happens to them.

They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin—this describes such people.

Now that it has happened to them, it's too late for regret.

Panic spread across the ship.

The scumbags opened one room after another, searching for any possible fresh water and food.

The ship was as clean as if mice had been over it— not a grain of rice could be found.

Besides, the trash cans still held the leftovers and slop from the past two days…

Even such things, the scumbags fought over them until their heads were bloody.

Three days passed quickly.

August 4.

Night fell again.

Suddenly, the ship's lights flickered a few times and then went out.

The power system encountered a problem.

This was actually outside Long Xiaoyu's plan.

By rights, the electricity should have been enough to last at least half a month.

The wind picked up.

The massive ship rose and fell on the sea surface.

The moon in the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds.

A light rain began.

The scumbags, parched after three days, ran to the deck and opened their mouths to catch the pitifully little rainwater.

The smarter ones immediately took out their own clothing.

After wetting the clothes with rain, a quick wring yielded plenty of water to drink.

With water, they could at least hold out for another week.

In a week's time, the rescue team should have arrived.

If they continued to starve like this, some scumbags' hearts would already be filled with demonic thoughts.

Fortunately, this rain gave them hope.

The demon in their hearts temporarily receded.

Soon, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

In the lightning's glow, someone saw a huge cruise ship approaching from afar.

"Hey everyone, look! There's a ship! A ship is coming!"

Someone shouted loudly.

Over two hundred scumbags ran to the bow and shouted at the approaching large ship.

Those who didn't come are now sick, nearly losing the ability to care for themselves.

In the hot summer, having eaten spoiled food and drunk seawater, they first suffered diarrhea and dehydration, then fell into a coma.

The scumbags who fell ill received no help; they could only lie on the ship awaiting death.

Someone lit their clothing with a lighter and waved it toward the large ship ahead.

Soon, a huge cruise ship drew alongside.

This ship was brand‑new, its lights blazing, and beautiful music could be heard.

In the dim light, the large ship launched a dozen or so inflatable boats.

The scumbags clung to ropes and boarded the inflatable boats…

No one noticed that the suddenly appearing, brightly lit giant ship bore the three numbers 621.

The world holds many unsolved mysteries.

When an individual or a group completely loses contact with the rest of the world, they inevitably encounter strange things.

Perhaps they were collectively hallucinating?

Long Xiaoyu and steward Zhou Tong were no longer on the submarine at this point.

Instead, they were in a small village deep in the Amazon Rainforest.

Over the Pacific it was night, while here it was morning.

"No signal!"

Long Xiaoyu looked at the tablet in his hand and shook his head helplessly.

He had been watching the surveillance footage all day.

The scumbags' reaction was no surprise to him.

They are extremely selfish and dark‑hearted; even if someone fell ill and was dying, none of the scumbags would help.

The healthy scumbags all thought only about how to survive until someone came to rescue them.

Zhou Tong frowned and said, "Even if there were a signal, we shouldn't keep watching."

Saying this, Zhou Tong snatched the tablet from Long Xiaoyu's hand, threw it to the ground, and kicked it a few times.

"Uncle…"

Long Xiaoyu furrowed his brow.

Zhou Tong said again, "When you are looking at the demon, the demon is also looking at you; I don't want you to have nightmares every day in the future."

We shouldn't do such things again in the future..

When the hype passes, cut off all ties and live a good life! Didn't you say that the little girl last time called you Long Long?

I think Yu Rou must have been reincarnated and recognized you. Let's go find her!

"That mysterious person…"

Long Xiaoyu frowned.

He was talking about Lin Feng.

Zhou Tong said, "No matter who he is, we shouldn't contact him again in the future."

Long Xiaoyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Uncle, I'm listening to you!"

Zhou Tong laughed.

Long Xiaoyu murmured again, "Uncle, does this world really have reincarnation?"

Zhou Tong said with a smile, "Since you love Yu Rou so much, she will definitely be reincarnated to find you… Whether others believe it or not, we must firmly believe this, understand?"
