Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Upon hearing this, Shi Shaoyu immediately raised his hand to speak.

"Then why don't we get to the tenth floor earlier? We could even send the lifeboats down before the storm hits, and then just escape, right?"

Du Xiuxiu was not surprised by this question at all, because she had also considered this approach.

“I also wanted to go directly to the tenth floor, but I found that the number of people on the tenth floor—no, I mean the number of supernatural beings—was the largest, accounting for almost half of all the supernatural beings on the entire cruise ship. When we went to investigate, we didn’t dare to go directly to the tenth floor, but instead observed it from other upper and lower floors.”

Well! With so many strange things going on, it's questionable whether we'll even be able to get those lifeboats. This plan doesn't seem very reliable at all.

"Then let's not meet on the tenth deck. In this situation, going to the tenth deck would be like handing the monsters free. We can meet on the eleventh or ninth deck. I guess the sightseeing elevators and such will definitely be out of service by then."

Du Xiuxiu glanced at the cruise ship structural diagram she had drawn in her hand, then asked the others,

"And you? Do you have any other differing opinions?"

No one spoke.

"Let's vote by raising our hands. We agree that the ninth group should choose rock, the eleventh group should choose paper, and the tenth group should choose scissors. Come on, one, two, three!"

"Very good, all the cloth has been prepared. We'll tentatively meet at the emergency exit on the eleventh floor, where we can go directly down to the tenth floor!"

"Also, I assume everyone has brought the appropriate weapons, right?"

Du Xiuxiu asked Bai Hao this question, since she knew perfectly well that the Shi family would provide Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu with enough weapons.

As expected by Du Xiuxiu, Bai Hao, looking puzzled, took out a machete from the storage compartment.

"Is this ok?"

"At least it counts as one," Du Xiuxiu nodded and then asked.

"Any more?"

Bai Hao shook his head honestly, and Du Xiuxiu could only turn her gaze to Bai Lu. Fortunately, Bai Lu was reliable enough, or rather, it was because Bai Lu was reliable that the Bai family entrusted her with the weapons they had finally managed to acquire. After all, the Bai family was not as wealthy and powerful as the Shi family, and could not acquire so many firearms.

Du Xiuxiu watched as Bai Lu handed over all of Bai Hao's weapons to him, and then specifically instructed him to keep them safe before mentioning the last thing she wanted to discuss at the meeting.

“We discovered something strange about the cruise ship. They wouldn’t attack us unless we triggered certain conditions or violated certain rules. But it’s different with the veteran players. They would attack new players whenever they had the chance.”

"Those veteran players even formed some kind of cooperation with the monsters on the ship. The monsters would not attack new players, nor would they save them. In fact, after the veteran players attacked the new players, they would share the new players' remains."

Just as Du Xiuxiu finished speaking, there was a knock on her room door. There were no peepholes on the cabin doors of the cruise ship, so Du Xiuxiu didn't open the door immediately but cautiously asked from behind it.

"Who is it?"

The only response she received was the continued knocking. Du Xiuxiu instantly became even more alert and asked again in a louder voice,

"Who is it?"

The only response she received was knocking on the door. Well, something outside the door must be strange now. She just didn't know if it was some kind of eerie thing or a seasoned player.

Du Xiuxiu gave Zhang Dong a wink, and Zhang Dong pulled out a pistol from his waist and moved behind the stairs on the side of the door. Ji Han and the others also wisely hid in places out of sight of the door.

Du Xiuxiu made a hand gesture to Zhang Dong: three, two, one, open the door!

As the veteran player appeared outside the door, a bullet struck him squarely in the forehead. With a "thud," the veteran player fell backward with his eyes wide open, but no one inside the room moved.

Sure enough! After about five minutes of silence, two veteran players quickly darted out of the stairwell and dragged the corpse away. The two men came out from the two sides of Du Xiuxiu's door.

After the body was dragged away, Shi Shaoyu nodded to everyone in the house, and Zhang Nan quickly went outside to check the situation.

"There was no one outside, but when I went out to check, I saw that many rooms in the hallway had their doors ajar."

It seems these guys are being watched? That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, those lone wolves should be much easier to deal with than this group.

After what happened, no one was in the mood to continue the meeting. Escorted by Zhang Dong and Zhang Nan, they all returned to their rooms, mainly to prepare properly, as the fierce battle that afternoon would be tough to fight.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu also retrieved a special combat suit from their spatial storage. These suits were spares they had bought in the interstellar world. Putting aside everything else, their durability was top-notch. Unless the opponent's power was like a large-scale weapon of mass destruction, these suits would not be easily torn.

As for weapons, Ji Han had those loaded guns, and Shi Shaoyu also had that Ghostly Cleaver, which was much more useful than guns in close combat.

In addition, Shi Shaoyu had specially set up the beginner domain of his new skill in advance, just to prevent Ji Han from accidentally being bounced outside when using the skill later.

The two of them revised and re-observed their escape route. Even though they were now very strong, they didn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of strange creatures. After all, a lot of ants might even kill an elephant. In this world where everyone is fighting for their lives, you can never be too cautious.

The two finished their lunch early. Thinking of the veteran players who had been eavesdropping on them all morning, they decided to climb over the balcony and go to Shi Shaoyu's room next door after lunch.

At 2 p.m., the buzzing of the high-risk warning echoed throughout the entire cruise ship. In an instant, the cruise ship began to descend into chaos, with people running, screaming, and even pushing and shoving.

In the midst of the chaos, all the strange creatures on the cruise ship revealed their true forms, and the entire seventeenth-floor corridor began to descend into chaos. At this moment, the fleeing creatures didn't care whether this was a VIP floor or not, and they rushed up and started pounding on the door. Fortunately, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had already left their room and started to retreat.

The two of them knew the way well and arrived at the emergency escape route, running all the way to the eleventh floor before the main crowd could squeeze in.

The good news is that they arrived at the meeting point on time without any major problems. The bad news is that the emergency exit on the eleventh floor has been blocked by the relentless onslaught of monsters, and the two of them are now trapped. If those monsters get in, they're likely to be ganged up on.

There was no signal on the cruise ship, and they couldn't contact Du Xiuxiu and the others. But they couldn't worry about that now. Shi Shaoyu pulled Ji Han to the tenth floor, where there were even more strange things at the emergency exits. Shi Shaoyu simply used his primary domain near the passage, and the strange things that were about to crash into him were instantly repelled. In an instant, a bunch of strange things collapsed at the emergency exits.

The two of them rushed through the pile of strange creatures and headed towards the bow deck, knocking over countless of them along the way, with a whole swarm following behind them.

When Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu arrived on the deck, some of the lifeboats had already been lowered to the sea. Several unmutated monsters were sitting on them, and there were even bodyguards next to them.

Ji Han glanced at the few remaining lifeboats, then at the strange creatures tearing at each other. The two of them quickly approached one of the lifeboats, instantly stored it in their spatial storage, and then jumped directly into the sea.

The moment the two jumped, Ji Han took out his red veil and placed it directly on their heads. This way, even if they were on the tenth floor, they wouldn't be afraid of getting hurt when they jumped. They just didn't know what the side effects of that invincible state were.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Two splashes of water rose at the same time. Shi Shaoyu took the lifeboat out of his spatial storage, while Ji Han removed the red veils from the two of them. The moment the red veils were removed, Ji Han did not feel any discomfort. Could it be that his luck was improving?

The two climbed onto the lifeboat one after the other. Shi Shaoyu even took out two life jackets from his spatial storage. Only after they put them on did he have time to check on Du Xiuxiu and the others.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is shocking: Du Xiuxiu and her three companions are being chased all over the deck by that group of strange creatures. Leading the pack is the so-called butler. Ji Han is quite certain this is the same butler they first encountered; after all, the later, more irritable butler certainly wouldn't have cared about how elegantly he ran while chasing people...

However, Ji Han scanned the tenth floor for a long time without seeing the Bai siblings. Finally, Shi Shaoyu said something to him.

"The sixteenth floor!"

Huh? What are those two siblings doing on the sixteenth floor? However, when he looked over, to be honest, he was a little envious. The Bai siblings had already entered the driver's seat at some point, and the strange creatures inside didn't seem to be attacking them at all. Ji Han looked carefully for a long time before realizing that it was because of the irritable butler next to them.

Yes, there's even a butler on the sixteenth floor. He wondered if the butler was schizophrenic, sometimes elegant and sometimes irritable. Turns out, it wasn't schizophrenia, but rather that there were actually two of them.

Now it seems that although the irritable butler has become a monster, his mind is still clear. He is calmly discussing the next route with the captain while looking at the sea chart.

"Du Xiuxiu, you either jump down or go to the sixteenth floor!!!"

Shi Shaoyu shouted loudly upwards. Ji Han was slightly doubtful of Shi Shaoyu's intelligence at this moment. He directly used his mental power to transmit what Shi Shaoyu had just shouted to Du Xiuxiu's mind. Du Xiuxiu was probably experiencing this kind of information transmission for the first time. Ji Han saw that she paused obviously. If Zhang Dong hadn't pulled her up, she might have been hit by the strange thing behind her.

Du Xiuxiu didn't care where the voice in her head came from; she shouted directly at the three people around her.

"Jump into the sea!"

After saying that, he jumped down without hesitation. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu quickly drove the lifeboat and rescued them one by one. Although the four of them were inevitably injured, they were still alive. Later, they were given a new kind of special medicine, and soon after taking it, they were able to jump around again.

As darkness fell, a fierce wind whipped up seawater that pounded against the cruise ship. At this point, Ji Han and his companions could no longer care about the Bai siblings on board. They struggled to steer the lifeboat away from the cruise ship's vicinity.

The cruise ship rocked back and forth in the storm, the deck was quickly filled with seawater, and the ship soon lost its balance. The screams on the ship became more intense, and the strange creatures underwent strange changes, pushing and shoving each other.

To Ji Han's surprise, the veteran players on the seventeenth floor showed no intention of running away. They were still relentlessly chasing down the new players, tying them up and putting them in the room next to the driver's cab on the sixteenth floor. Most of the guards there had already run away, and the few remaining were still dutifully standing guard under the watchful eye of the irritable butler.

Soon, Ji Han lost interest in the cruise ship that was destined to capsize. Their lifeboats were unable to find their way in the waves and could only drift with the current. The raging sea wind and the icy seawater caused their body temperature to drop rapidly.

Shi Shaoyu found a few raincoats and blankets in a corner of his space. He first threw the extras to Du Xiuxiu, and then carefully wrapped Ji Han up. As for himself? The Elementary Domain had just refreshed. He moved to a different position with Ji Han in his arms. Once the Elementary Domain was activated, not only seawater and rainwater could not get in, but even the wind could not get in. Du Xiuxiu and the others were dumbfounded.

Ji Han was held in Shi Shaoyu's arms, his whole body swaying back and forth with the boat. He didn't know how long he had been swaying. Perhaps it was because Shi Shaoyu's embrace was too warm, but he fell asleep without realizing it.

When Ji Han woke up again, the wind and waves at sea had long since stopped, and the entire sea was calm, as if the previous roars were just Ji Han and the others' illusions.

Most importantly, the sea was shimmering with light, reflecting a bright moon. This was the first time Ji Han had seen the moon since arriving in this instance. Previously, the entire cruise ship was shrouded in thick fog, so not only the moon but even the sun could not be seen.

As soon as Ji Han moved, Shao Yu opened his closed eyes, cleared his throat,

"Awake? Would you like some water or something to eat?"

Ji Han hadn't noticed anything until Shi Shaoyu mentioned it, and then he heard his stomach rumbling.

"Hmm, I am a little hungry. You can continue sleeping. I'll eat by myself."

Shi Shaoyu didn't respond. He first opened the newly refreshed beginner domain, then lifted the raincoats and blankets covering the two of them, and then handed the food and warm water that had been prepared to Ji Han.
