Chapter 123 Movements of Other Fleets (Part 2)
This is the New World Fleet.
The number of its members has exceeded 3,500.
If they were not in a hurry and had no time to recruit people, the fleet would probably be even larger.
A large number of players followed the New World Fleet, keeping a safe distance of more than 20 nautical miles, with tens of thousands of people.
They all gathered here with the idea of giving it a try.
After all, the New World Fleet once said that it was willing to take other players to clear the Arctic Winter Sea.
Those players who were willing to believe and were not far away basically gathered here.
The New World Fleet had only one requirement for these players - no fire on the deck.
These players were required to supervise each other.
If the fire summoned the Ice Nest Worms, they would have to fend for themselves, and the New World Fleet would not care, let alone save them.
The fleet only ensured that there would be no large floating ice on this route, and would open up a relatively safe route!
Ahead, the New World Fleet.
Shen Guanquan did think of a way to deal with the Ice Nest Worms, using their characteristics of recognizing fire but not people, to lure them away!
First of all, the New World Fleet does not light fires on the internal decks, and relies entirely on the small boats ahead to explore the way to ensure the safety of the route.
These small boats are specially selected ordinary ships. Although they have no skills, their speed is about 55 knots.
They keep a safe distance of more than five kilometers from each other. There are two or three bonfires on the deck, which can disperse the white fog and perform pathfinding tasks at the same time.
Moreover, on the bow deck of each ship, there is a fuse made of fuel that goes directly to the cabin, which is full of wood, pale worm corpses and other flammable materials.
Once an ice nest worm approaches, the people on the ship will light the fuse and head towards the predetermined coordinates away from the fleet.
According to Zhao Tietou's feedback, the flying speed of these ice nest worms is about 50 knots. There are individual differences, but most of them are at this speed.
So as long as they escape in time, it is difficult for these ice nest worms to catch up with small ships.
Even if three or two occasionally catch up, it will not cause much impact and cannot put out the fire on the ship!
When the ship reaches the designated coordinates, the driver of the ship will abandon the ship and jump into the sea.
Because at this coordinate, there will be a Deep Submersible in the sea to pick him up and take him back...
"I cherish the lives of all the crew members!
But I also hope that when I ask you to die, don't hesitate!
Because that is a necessary sacrifice for survival!
This includes me!"
When Shen Guanquan announced the plan, he gave an impassioned speech.
His words seemed to have some unknown magic, which not only convinced people, but also made people more favorable.
Almost all the team members tended to believe Shen Guanquan.
Even the rationality that had once declined due to anxiety was restored because of Shen Guanquan's impassioned speech, and the attributes were also improved.
This is the effect brought by Shen Guanquan's personal talent. (Psychological suggestion and great leadership)
Of course, this is also inseparable from the bonus of his personal charm!
So the plan was implemented smoothly without any objections!
When these ordinary players with mediocre attributes give up estrangement and quarrels, give up intrigue, and work together for a goal, the clustering power brought by the high sociality of human beings will appear.
Just like a giant machine, everyone is a gear in it, playing an insignificant but crucial role.
This is not a contradiction.
Because the hysteresis and loss of a gear will not affect the continued operation of this giant machine!
...........
Shen Guanquan sat in the captain's room of the Hope, holding the latest issue of the weekly magazine in his hand.
"One-Eye..."
He said to himself.
After reading this issue of the weekly magazine, he has basically given up the idea of recruiting One-Eye.
The New World Fleet is likely to be a burden that drags down One-Eye.
After all, even powerful monsters like the Crystal Giant were beaten into slag by him...
"It will take about a week to leave the Arctic Winter Sea, and the supplies are enough..."
"The death toll is seven, but this is a necessary sacrifice..."
"After all, not everyone can survive the pursuit of the Ice Nest Worm..."
............
Another sea area is very far away from the New World Fleet.
More than a dozen ships are connected to each other and move forward slowly.
Unlike other fleets, this fleet is unusually quiet, a bit lifeless, and no one talks.
The leading ship was the Feast, with a bonfire on the bow, leading the way.
Although there were people standing on the decks of other ships, there was no fire. The crew braved the severe cold and stood in an environment of minus 30 degrees Celsius, without even wearing warm clothes.
Suddenly, a group of ice nest worms were attracted by the fire.
The fire on the Feast was extinguished instantly, because the bonfire was kicked into the sea by the fleet leader Weisman.
These ice nest worms immediately lost their target of attack, wandered around for a while, and then left.
The extreme cold brought by the swarm of insects caused a thin layer of ice to condense on the nearby sea surface, but fortunately it was not thick and did not affect navigation.
For the members of the Lost Homeland Fleet, the ice nest worms were not scary, but the white fog and icebergs were annoying.
Their life form has changed, and they have obtained the extraordinary way called ghouls. They no longer need to keep warm. Even if their body temperature is minus 30 degrees, they are just a little slower.
So in the eyes of the Ice Nest Zerg, they are not targets of attack because their body temperature is low enough.
The leading captain is at risk of being attacked because he is close to the campfire.
But it doesn't matter, even if his body is temporarily frozen, he will not die.
When the temperature rises, he will regain his ability to move.
Other fleets are also conquering the polar winter sea in their own way.
For example, the new human fleet.
Many of them have obtained the extraordinary path called the blessed, and their attributes may increase or decrease, with strong randomness and dynamic changes, and their bodies will also change, which is not certain for good or bad.
For example, eyes grow on the back of the head, which can obtain a 360-degree field of vision.
For example, the neck becomes longer and drags on the ground, making it difficult to eat....
For example, the number of fingers and toes increases or decreases.
This is actually quite normal!
After staying in the new human fleet for a long time, it will be natural to think that a hand should not have only five fingers, and the same goes for the soles of the feet!
There are also some with more hands and feet, but not many.
Because the extra things are most likely not hands and feet, there are bone spurs, tongues, buttocks, and even an extra head. Fully demonstrate the diversity of species!
Moreover, they are very accepting of deformity and firmly believe that they are human, although they have great individual differences.
Facing the polar winter sea, they also have their own strategy - forming a special attack team!
As long as the special attack team is sent out and they are allowed to explore the way forward, the route can be ensured to be safe! Supplies and the like are not needed at all, and they will most likely crash before starving to death.
But as long as they are not crashed to death, it means that the front is safe and they can drive forward, and there are rewards for coming back....
It is very simple to verify life and death, as long as they are not cancelled, they are not dead!
In this way, they don’t even need to light a fire on the deck to dispel the white fog, and can drive forward without thinking.
Just send out the special attack team frequently!
This trick is very effective, and they have always been in the first echelon of players.
It’s just that more people die, but it’s not a big problem.
Those who died are just old humans who have not awakened the extraordinary path!
If they can join the special attack team and survive for three days, they will have the opportunity to get more blessings, thereby unlocking the extraordinary path and getting rid of the shackles of old humans!
...........
The perspective returns to the Nightmare Star.
After sailing for about a day, Yang Yi and Suna finally approached the island.
