Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, then everyone looked toward a certain corner.

There stood a man dressed in black casual clothes.

He lowered his head slightly, so no one could see his expression.

In his drooping hand, he held a silver pistol.

When Shi Jinwei saw the pistol, her pupils suddenly contracted.

When she was buying weapons, she wanted to find the one with the best cost performance, so she went through almost all the guns in the store.

This silver pistol was one of the weapons that left a deep impression on her.

Not only because of its exquisite craftsmanship, small size, and high lethality, but also because of its price—a whopping 150 points, almost twice the price of her "little broken gun."

At this moment, pulling out this gun while still on the ship... without even thinking, it's obvious that this person is also a player.

Encountering other players on the very first day of the game, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

However, she doesn't intend to expose herself at the moment, but will continue to hide in the crowd and observe others.

Now that the first player has appeared, there might be a second and a third soon.

Unfortunately, to her disappointment, after the man appeared, she did not find any other suspicious people.

The crowd quieted down for a moment because of his gunshot, but then continued to descend into chaos.

The NPCs were puzzled: Why did this person have a gun? Who was he?

The man frowned slightly and had no choice but to fire two more shots into the sky.

This time, no one dared to move. They couldn't win with guns, and they could only keep their resentment to themselves.

"Quiet, listen to him." The man uttered these five words and continued to stand there quietly.

Everyone heard his voice; it was clear and cold, and he became completely obedient.

The first mate finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had stopped rushing outwards.

He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead before speaking: "I know everyone is very panicked right now, but please rest assured, I have already sent someone to contact the port, and the ship will turn back, so I believe it will dock soon."

Upon hearing this, many people finally calmed down, but then two crew members suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"Oh no, oh no, all the communication equipment on the ship has failed."

"Something terrible has happened! The cruise ship's propellers have stopped working for some unknown reason, and the maintenance crew can't figure out what's wrong."

The first mate, who had just made that boast: "..."

Damn it, I really want to strangle those two guys.

Their voices were so panicked and loud that everyone in the banquet hall could hear them.

However, everyone calmed down by then.

By this time, no one else had died, and they had all regained their senses and were able to think calmly.

Upon hearing that the equipment had malfunctioned and they couldn't contact the outside world, and that the boat was now adrift at sea with no way back, they immediately asked, "Should we use the spare boat to go back and ask for help?"

One of the crew members swallowed hard and said dryly, "All the spare boats, spare kayaks, life jackets, swimming rings... are damaged beyond repair."

The crowd erupted in uproar; it seemed they were trying to trap them on the ship.

Why? To kill someone? Thinking of this, some people couldn't help but panic again.

Just then, a man with a dignified appearance stepped out of the crowd, took out a small notebook from his pocket, and stood on the stage to show it to everyone.

"Quiet down, everyone. I'm a detective. Given the horrific murder that occurred on the ship, and the fact that we're still out of contact with the outside world, I'll be temporarily in charge of investigating this matter. Does anyone have any objections?" he asked the people below.

Upon hearing that he was a policeman, many people's eyes lit up, and they nodded immediately.

The cruise ship is practically an isolated island right now, so it's all the better for them that a policeman can step forward.

Seeing everyone's cooperation, the middle-aged man was very satisfied and immediately arranged the next steps.

Everyone, including the cruise ship's staff, was gathered in the banquet hall and questioned one by one.

The deceased were examined by the ship's doctor to determine the cause of death.

Many people didn't want to stay there any longer and took the initiative to come forward and explain their timeline and experiences.

Shi Jinwei wanted to gather more information, so she deliberately put it last.

However, it's too slow for one criminal police officer to check more than 10,000 people.

Finally, with the help of several public officials found in the crowd, everyone was finally checked by the morning of the next day.

The result was that there was no clue. Apart from Shi Jinwei, who boarded the ship alone, those who boarded in groups all had sufficient evidence.

The ship's crew members could all corroborate each other's testimonies, bringing the investigation to a complete standstill.

The good news is that doctors have determined the cause of death and found that they all died from poisoning.

The captain drank the wine at the banquet while giving a speech, while the others, as confirmed by their companions, ate the food at the banquet.

The doctor then took the food back for further investigation and discovered that all of it contained a deadly toxin of unknown composition.

It can kill a person within minutes simply by touching their lips.

They originally intended to keep the news a secret.

But since there's a problem with the food, the ingredients naturally need to be investigated; there's no way to hide it.

On the afternoon of the second day of the game, everyone learned the cause of the deceased's death.

We also received a notification from the staff that, in order to ensure everyone's safety, food will no longer be provided on board.

Because all the ingredients were poisoned, they were completely inedible.

Upon hearing this news, they could no longer remain calm and immediately rushed to the bridge to surround the first officer.

One of them confronted them aggressively, demanding, "You say there's no food? When will we be able to reach the shore?"

He couldn't answer that question.

Then someone asked, "If there's no food, what will we eat? Will we just starve?"

He was also unable to answer, but said he would return everyone's checked luggage as soon as possible.

Some people have too much luggage and choose to check it in.

Normally, they can only collect their luggage after the ship docks.

The first mate said he would bring the luggage soon, and many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people carry food in their checked luggage, and by being frugal, they can manage to last for a while.

But this is of no use to people who didn't bring food.

However, some clever people have set their sights on convenience stores.

In addition to several restaurants, the cruise ship also has many specialty shops and convenience stores.

If you can't eat fresh ingredients, then packaged vacuum-sealed foods shouldn't have this problem.

While others were questioning the first mate, many people rushed to convenience stores to buy things.

With the game's hidden speed-up enabled, chaos on the ship unfolded exceptionally quickly.

Things on a cruise ship are several times more expensive than on land, but nobody cares how much they cost; they just grab as much as they can.

How much stuff can a few stores possibly have?

Leaving aside how much so many people can buy, just the sheer number of people makes it impossible for those at the back to squeeze in.

Shi Jinwei didn't go over; instead, she followed behind the men surrounding the first mate, wanting to hear what other information they had.
