Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Besides, the officer who was explaining was even paler than Charlie, and he probably didn't even believe the nonsense he was spouting.

And what's with those people on the ship? Why did one of them turn into a four- or five-meter-tall black giant?

Why was that Latina woman able to conjure up a giant hand made of black smoke?

And that unseen barrier, which even the enormous tentacles capable of flattening steel cannons could not budge...

What are all these things?

Although no casualty figures were given for the terrifying battle, Charlie roughly estimated that at least several dozen people had disappeared.

Unexpectedly, that very night, a sailor mutated into a monster—a monster with octopus tentacles growing from its face and a giant crab claw growing from its back, still wearing a tattered sailor uniform!

Actually, Charlie was already struggling to accept it at that point and couldn't hold back anymore.

But their large numbers and sheer numbers at least provide them with some sense of security.

To everyone's surprise, a blizzard struck the following night—an extremely cold blizzard in subtropical ocean waters!

No matter how many people there are, they cannot withstand the severe cold, nor can they dispel the terrible pressure brought by these endless celestial phenomena.

Wrapped in the blanket, he gradually stopped trembling. His body seemed to become very light, and he floated up on his own, passing through the walls and the hull of the ship, soaring with the wind in the blizzard.

He arrived in a frigid world, filled with ghastly, frozen corpses, and even some enormous figures moving through the depths of a howling blizzard.

Charlie died; his psychological defenses collapsed, and he died of hypothermia.

However, this was not the end. He soon opened his eyes again, and a ghostly blue flame flickered in them.

……

Because Zhao Hao was worried that the sailors might undergo another mutation or their psychological defenses might collapse, he had secretly set up a large-scale sensory barrier using paper shikigami during the day. He didn't need any other functions; his only aim was to detect any anomalies immediately to prevent further damage to their already low morale.

So he noticed it almost as soon as Charlie the ghoul led his four roommates out of the room in the dead of winter.

"Oh no! Something's wrong! There's something strange about this blizzard!"

Zhao Hao didn't have time to explain and rushed ahead towards the dormitory area on the third deck.

However, that winter ghoul was no joke. Wherever he went, everything was covered in frost. On the walls, the ground, and the ceiling, the sailors who were already freezing to death would struggle for less than ten seconds in the cold before dying and then quickly getting up again to become ghouls with bodies as hard as ice.

Zhao Hao's speed was already quite fast, but the Winter Corpse Demon had already transformed nearly thirty other Corpse Demons.

"Damn it!" Zhao Hao saw the chilling aura spreading and frost growing in the corridor from afar, and immediately stretched out his hands to form a barrier, blocking the path of the group of corpses.

Charlie the Winter Ghost's eyes flickered with ghostly fire as he walked to the barrier and tried to touch it with his hand. However, a spark of electricity crackled from the barrier, charring his bluish-gray ghost claws.

It immediately became enraged, opened its mouth and roared, unleashing a burst of extremely cold air that struck the barrier, instantly turning it into ice...

At this moment, the other four also caught up, but the corridor in the ship was narrow, and someone like the Black Giant Lincoln could fill the corridor by himself. The others could only watch from behind Zhao Hao and could not make a move for the time being.

Zhao Hao shouted, "Don't waste time here, I'll handle them. You guys go check other places quickly. This extreme cold is a problem; we can't let more people freeze to death!"

Chapter 365 The Moving Island of the Inner World

The Winter Ghoul was only a Black Iron 5-star, and the other ordinary ghouls were only around Black Iron 2-star, so of course they were no match for Zhao Hao.

But this thing appeared out of nowhere, and instantly caused a great deal of death and injury.

Even if the five people split up to deal with it, as long as they cannot overcome this extreme weather, they will ultimately be unable to stop death from coming.

However, before death arrived, the monster appeared first...

After his companions left, Zhao Hao quickly smashed the corpse demons to pieces, then released the little soft creatures to devour them, leaving everyone wondering what methods he used.

He ignored the other sailors and had to find a solution that would address the root cause of the problem.

Originally, Zhao Hao was immune to both heat and cold, so even though the temperature was now minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius, he didn't feel anything. However, he didn't expect that this cold wave would carry death energy, which would directly "freeze" some people who were already mentally unstable to death, turning them into winter corpses.

This thing is already quite powerful, and it can control the extreme cold and create even more ghouls.

In order to save the surviving sailors, Zhao Hao quickly went to the deck and began to build a large enough barrier to completely enclose the hundred-meter-long warship.

Moreover, simply covering it wasn't enough; ordinary barriers couldn't block the heat, so Zhao Hao had to use his own [Arcane Heat Barrier].

To erect a barrier that increases attributes, boosts spiritual energy, and restores stamina, and to extend it to a length of 100 meters, is no small feat.

If Zhao Hao's total spiritual energy weren't several times that of an average bronze-level superhuman, he simply wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

This is not an ordinary barrier; it is a large-scale application of a single-target skill.

"Damn it! I'm going to have to reveal another trump card!" Zhao Hao cursed inwardly.

Although he had so many cards up his sleeve that he couldn't even count them all, Zhao Hao was still very unhappy.

Sure enough, after he erected a barrier to envelop the entire ship, the ordinary sailors on board immediately felt the warmth, their physical strength increased, and their spirits became much stronger.

Those superhuman officers who were leading the group, as well as Prada and Blacklink, could all sense the activity of psionic energy.

"My psionic energy recovery speed has increased significantly!"

"I feel like my brain is reacting faster too."

"Who did what?"

The cold was now averted, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The ordinary sailors, in particular, were practically weeping with joy. After all, if it had continued any longer, they would have frozen to death.

However, Zhao Hao was somewhat troubled. Although the Arcane Warmth Barrier could accelerate the recovery of his spiritual energy, his own spiritual energy recovery was his strength. Normally, the consumption was basically equivalent to no consumption, making him a perpetual motion machine.

However, this hundred-meter-long arcane heat barrier consumes too much energy, and I certainly can't hold out for long.

If this blizzard continues for another day and night, the people on this ship will still freeze to death!

But before he could discuss with the other four how to save themselves, their barrier was attacked.

It was something floating in mid-air, entirely white and somewhat transparent, easily overlooked in the darkness and blizzard if one wasn't paying attention.

However, since it attacked Zhao Hao's barrier, it was naturally discovered immediately.

It was a frozen ghost, a 5-star Black Iron monster, a semi-physical necromancer. It was groaning mournfully, slapping at the barrier with its icy claws.

Zhao Hao was still figuring out how to deal with it, hoping it would at least increase his attributes. Unexpectedly, several other parts of the barrier were also attacked!

Three Frozen Ghosts and two Wind-Cold Ghosts are all Iron 5-star!

Normally, these would be rare gems that would significantly increase attribute points, but now...

Zhao Hao looked up at the sky and saw even more frozen undead in the blizzard!

Even more terrifying, Zhao Hao's Fate Prompt Eye told him that in the far distance, there was a Bronze 4-star Frost Death Giant!

He suddenly remembered when he first started learning from Uncle Tie, Uncle Tie had given him a serious warning: to use psionic energy with caution.

Because the extraordinary attracts the extraordinary!

First it was the giant octopus, then the Frost Giant... Our five Bronze Transcendents have attracted monsters!

"Pah! Pah! Pah! No more flashbacks!" Zhao Hao quickly contacted his four other companions and told them to come to the deck and prepare for battle.

The previous Bronze 1-star Deep Sea Devouring Octopus had already caused them a lot of trouble.

Although all five were at the Bronze level, the deep-sea devouring octopus almost completely enveloped the hundred-meter-long warship. A single tentacle or arm easily measured thirty or forty meters, and its true form hadn't even appeared in the sea. It was incredibly large!

This behemoth also possesses extremely rapid regeneration capabilities; it's practically unstoppable.

With the ocean as its home ground advantage, no one present dared to go into the sea to deal with this behemoth. It took several tons of tentacles and limbs to force it away. Little Softie, on the other hand, ate its fill.

This approaching Frost Giant is a Bronze 4-star being, twenty meters tall, and its every step is accompanied by a deadly blizzard. Damn it… I might have no choice but to lead the four of us to escape into the dream world.

To hell with missions!

……

Unexpectedly, an hour later, Zhao Hao and his group had already arrived in the Otherworld.

It turns out that all of this was part of the plan.

The computing power of that supercomputer, Mr. Feynman, is unimaginable. Through some prophetic and divination information, it searches for specific possibilities among infinite possibilities.

The three research vessels mentioned earlier were "Lamb 1, 2 and 3".

The warship Zhao Hao and his group were aboard was the "Peter".

Needless to say, the lamb was the one God asked Abraham to offer as a sacrifice, but God, seeing Abraham's piety, used a lamb instead.

From then on, lambs acquired an additional meaning in Western society.

The ship Zhao Hao and his companions were on was called the Peter, referring to the apostle Peter.

Jesus once said to his disciple Peter, “You have the gospel. On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

With the "Three Boats of Lambs" sacrificed as a necessary sacrifice, and "Disciple Peter" struggling to seek the key to the Kingdom of Heaven... Thus, while Zhao Hao and his companions were fighting against the frost undead led by the Frost Giant, the secret realm leading to the Inner World opened.

The warship, nearly destroyed, arrived at the secret realm, where the three missing research vessels also remained. However, there was no one on board anymore.

At the end of the secret realm, Zhao Hao took out the "Giant Rat Potion" and poured it into the sea, which created a whirlpool... The wrecked ship finally arrived at the unfamiliar sea area of ​​the inner world.

The special compass that Zhao Hao received before his departure finally started to work.

Follow the direction of this pointer, and you'll find the moving island trapped in the other world! It's said that the Ark of the Covenant is on it.

At this moment, besides Zhao Hao and his four companions, there were thirty-six other survivors on the ship. Among these thirty-six, only two were extraordinary individuals, and twenty-two had already collapsed, lying on the ground suffering from nervous breakdowns…

Bermuda, giant octopus, aberration, extreme cold, cold undead, bronze 4-star cold undead giant, the underworld... Under a series of mental shocks, these ordinary people's minds have collapsed and they have gone mad.

It is foreseeable that these people will probably not be able to return to the surface world alive, and even the two superhumans have little hope of survival.

The five survivors left on the ship and planned to set off in a small boat.

Zhao Hao said to the two remaining superhumans who were already somewhat disheartened, "If we successfully complete the mission, we will come back for you. Hang in there!"

If nothing unexpected happens, the supplies on the ship should be enough for them to survive for several months. However, this is the Otherworld, and the probability of something going wrong is too high.

While the others were lowering their small boats, Xiluo pulled Zhao Hao aside and whispered, "Zhao Hao, if the higher-ups treat these people like this, who knows if they won't treat us the same way in the future!"

Zhao Hao patted him on the shoulder, "Hey bro, ever heard of Fantasy Westward Journey?"

Chapter 366 The Inner World Sea Area

A specially prepared speedboat was launched on the sea, and Zhao Hao and his four companions boarded it, heading towards an unknown direction according to the pointer of the "compass".

Previously in the surface world of Bermuda, dark clouds loomed, blizzards raged, and a large number of undead surrounded the area.

Now, the sea is calm and sunny, the water is a warm, azure blue, and many small, unidentified fish are swimming in the clear water.

In such a short time, everything has changed.

The concentration and vitality of psionic energy in the inner world are already very high, and it may be even higher in this unknown ocean.
