Chapter 268 Blue Flower
The seawater was icy cold. Yu Wanyin used her last bit of strength to lift the unconscious Yu Wancha, so that his mouth and nose could barely stay above the water.

She looked up, her wet black hair clinging to her cheeks, her gaze passing over the undulating sea to the last safe zone displayed by the system—two lonely markers.

“Two points…” Her voice was hoarse and trembling, “How can there only be two points? Wasn’t it… wasn’t it said that two hundred people would be selected!”

Xia Sheng shook the water droplets off his head, his brows furrowing tightly.

"It might be related to that thing underneath."

While they were diving, they vaguely glimpsed some strange metal devices in the sea, like ancient beasts lurking in the shadows, waiting for something.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wanyin involuntarily shivered and muttered to herself, "What...what exactly is that?"

"I don't know." Xia Sheng shook his head, his expression grave. "Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to get on the ship first."

As he spoke, he swam towards the cargo ship, grabbed the rough sheet metal edge of the ship's side with one hand, and his arm muscles suddenly bulged, veins popping out.

With a sharp "crack," he gripped the metal sheet of the ship's hull so tightly that it left a clear dent, with his five fingers deeply embedded in it.

With a push, he nimbly flipped himself onto the deck, his movements swift and clean. Water droplets fell from his body, leaving damp marks on the deck.

Then, he bent down and reached out his hand to Yu Wanyin.

Yu Wanyin paused for a moment, then forcefully pushed the unconscious Yu Wancha up. Xia Sheng grabbed Yu Wancha's arm and easily pulled him up, laying him flat on the deck. Then, he pulled Yu Wanyin up as well.

As soon as she stepped onto the relatively solid deck, Yu Wanyin's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Ignoring her own safety, she immediately retrieved a pale blue inhibitor from the supercomputing ring, skillfully inserted the needle into Wancha's arm vein, and slowly injected the medication.

As the blue liquid was injected, Yu Wancha's tense brows gradually relaxed, and his rapid breathing became much calmer.

Xia Sheng remained vigilant, his gaze sweeping across the cargo ship. The deck was deserted, and his eyes finally settled on an inconspicuous shadowy spot in the corner of the cabin.

There, scattered among them were several dark brown seeds, about the size of a fingernail, their surfaces covered with strange patterns, and they were twitching slightly.

"What is this?" Xia Sheng walked over, squatted down, but did not touch it easily.

Meanwhile, the cargo ship's hold was crowded with people of all kinds of expressions.

"You all saw that, right? Only two spots left!" A burly man with a thick beard plopped down on the ground, spat angrily, spittle flying everywhere. "How are we supposed to divide them? Over three hundred people, and only two standing there? Are you putting on a show?"

"Even if we wanted to fight each other, two minutes wouldn't be enough, would it? What are the organizers thinking!"

"What do we do now? We can't just sit here and wait, can we?"

"If we fight the virus head-on without gas masks, aren't we just waiting to die?! That wasn't the plan before; we used all our quota to exchange for supplies!"

"That's right! You can't just abandon us now!"

The cabin suddenly became noisy.

"Quiet!" Captain Lao Biao's loud voice drowned out all the arguing.

He glanced around, a fierce glint in his bloodshot eyes: "What's the use of all this arguing? Will it lead to a third safe spot?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Let's get the boat there first!"

"Let's get closer to those two red dots. Then, it'll be up to each of us to see who can grab them and whoever does will be lucky."

"If you can't get it... then go diving. If you have a mask, stand on the boat and eliminate the enemy who's surfacing while tanking the poison gas first."

Let each accept their fate.

Upon hearing this, the cabin fell silent. The twenty-odd people exchanged glances, and a few of them smiled, having already made up their minds.

Not only their ship, but the other five ships on the sea also had the same idea at this moment. They reached a tacit understanding in a strange way, stopped the duel and gun battle, turned their bows, and slowly and firmly sailed toward the two coordinates on the sea chart.

Outside the six cargo ships, individuals like Lin Chen and Li Guanqi cautiously maintained a perimeter, observing and following the situation.

"How exactly do we steal this..." Li Guanqi muttered to himself.

Given the current situation, he is unsure of what to do.

More than three hundred people, vying for those two little red dots—how many people can fit in that small space? Five or six? Ten at most!
This isn't robbery at all; it's like being a target.

The ships approached cautiously, and when the distance between them was reduced to about 500 meters, a sudden change occurred.

The enormous mechanical spaceship, which had been hovering high in the sky, suddenly opened a circular hatch, and a thick, almost tangible blue beam of light descended abruptly, projecting precisely onto the calm sea surface not far from the red dot of the safe zone.

The beam of light descended like a divine miracle, illuminating that area of ​​the sea in a deep blue.

The blinding light lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating. Once the light had completely disappeared, everyone could see the figure that had appeared in the center of the beam of light.

It was a woman.

She was tall and well-proportioned with graceful curves, wearing an ice-blue long dress that moved without wind, like a flowing ice spring.

Beneath her feet, a crystal-clear ice flower, formed from countless tiny ice crystals, was slowly blooming, steadily supporting her.

"Holy crap! Is this a fairy descending to earth?!" Everyone on the six ships stared wide-eyed.

"How did she stand on the water? And those flowers at her feet... were they made of ice?"

"Goddess! I passed the assessment, can I apply to be in the same group as her?!" "Sent by the organizers? Is she here to announce the rules, or... to send us on our way?"

On the ship, many men stared wide-eyed, and some even whistled loudly, trying to attract the goddess's attention.

"Is that the proctor?" Tang Xin leaned over the side of the boat, her little face full of amazement. "She's so beautiful..."

The person transmitted down from the spaceship was Qi Mengsi.

However, the moment Li Guanqi saw her, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of unease arose within him.

Not right.

Something is very wrong!
He had lived with Qi Mengsi for half a month. She gave people the feeling of a thorny rose, dangerous and alluring, with an aggressive beauty.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "red flower"—passionate, unrestrained, yet harboring hidden dangers.

But this dream-seeking mind in front of me...

"Twin flowers, one red, one blue."

Li Guanqi murmured softly, staring at the icy blue halo spreading beneath her feet and the subtle, abnormal ripples on the water's surface. A flash of inspiration struck him, and a terrifying thought exploded like a thunderclap.

“Ice and water properties…plants…” he muttered unconsciously, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"It's Rikka!" Li Guanqi shouted, his voice sharp and distorted. "Turn around! Run—!"

The speedboat quickly turned around and retreated.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Qi Mengsi, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding noise and exclamations, slowly and gracefully crouched down, her long, slender, fair hands gently plunging into the icy seawater.

In her deep and indifferent gaze, her originally brown pupils turned into a pale ice blue in an instant.

[Domain Launch -]

A cold, emotionless, mechanical voice suddenly came from below the sea level.

Qi Mengsi's ethereal yet chilling voice echoed from the depths of the netherworld.

"Rikka, come here!"

"boom--!"

An indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from Qi Mengsi's center.

Visible to the naked eye, the icy blue chill spread wildly in all directions like a burst dam.

In the blink of an eye, the sea surface, spanning hundreds of meters in radius, was completely frozen!

The rolling waves and splashing spray transformed into bizarre ice sculptures in an instant, and the bows of several cargo ships that were closest and unable to retreat were instantly covered by a thick layer of ice.

The crew members, who were still marveling or on guard at the bow, froze and turned icy on their faces. With a series of thuds, the barriers popped up one after another.

The air temperature dropped sharply, and the breath turned into icy fog.

On the sea and on the ships, there was a deathly silence.

The only sounds were the crackling of the spreading ice and the short, abrupt gasps of those who had barely escaped the area.

Current number of survivors: 322

"What...thing?"

The chilling system notification sounded like a death knell striking the hearts of every survivor.

In just one encounter, in one field, dozens of people were instantly killed and eliminated.

"What...what kind of domain is this?! It's an area-of-effect instant kill!"

"Speed ​​the boat! Get away from her!"

"Where to go? The poison is coming from behind!"

"Such strong spirituality."

Domain cards are still cards, and as long as they are magic cards, they will have spiritual differences.

As the cold air swept over them, Lin Chen's pupils constricted. He grabbed Lu Li, who was almost caught in the freezing air, and held her in his arms, his life force remaining unaffected despite the icy conditions he suffered.

"Wow—is my sister really that scary when she's angry?" Tang Xin exclaimed, her face turning pale with fright. "That's terrifying!"

The baby was so scared that he can't even swim anymore.

Li Guanqi gazed at Qi Mengsi from afar, his expression solemn, and murmured to himself, "Is this the blue flower?"

Qi Mengsi stood quietly in the middle of the frozen sea, her exquisitely beautiful face, like an ice sculpture, devoid of any human emotion.

She raised her hand and tapped the supercomputing ring a few times with her fingertips. With two soft clicks, two icicles rose from the ground on her left and right sides, each with a mechanical device on top.
