Chapter 126 - World Weekly: Endless Seas 01 (2/2)
Just then, a broadcast rang out in the cabins. “Dear pa.s.sengers, the Royal Caribbean 0783 cruise s.h.i.+p will soon set off. Please return to the cabin as soon as possible. The time is now 00:00 a.m. I wish you a happy journey!”
There was a long siren and the cruise s.h.i.+p gradually sailed out of the dock. All challengers had a hint appear on their floating boxes at the same time.
[Welcome to the World Weekly secret room: Endless Sea, first day 00:00.]
[Number of challengers remaining in the secret room: 500]
All the challengers had boarded. Ahead of them was the endless sea and no one knew what would happen next. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other and got up to go out. The two people found that the cabins next door also had many people leaving. They headed directly to the top deck of the cruise s.h.i.+p and saw Old Mo and Long Sen instantly.
Old Mo was truly an experienced senior. In this situation, he knew that he should first go to the deck. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly walked to the two people and whispered, “Where are you staying?”
Old Mo replied, “I’m staying with Little Long in Room 407 on the fourth floor.”
Long Sen told them, “Just now when I was in line, I saw Yue Yue and Little Liu walking together. The two girls might’ve been arranged in the same room. I told them to meet at the deck and they will come soon.”
They were people around them taking photos with their phones and some beautiful girls talking selfies. Those with a phone were clearly the indigenous people of the Card World. After challengers entered the secret rooms, their possessions would be removed. They couldn’t bring their phones into this world to keep in contact with each other.
After a moment, Liu Qiao and Qu Wanyue came. Qu Wanyue told them, “We are staying in Room 377 on the third floor. I found that many challengers are walking to the deck. It should be that all the teams were scattered.”
Soon, Shao Qingge and Xie Qi also arrived.
Xie Qi spoke excitedly, “We are in room 479 on the 4th floor.”
Yu Hanjiang frowned and thought about it. The eight people were staying in 309 and 377 on the third floor and 407 and 479 on the fourth floor. They were far away from each other. The secret room world deliberately broke up the team members, increasing the difficulty of communication.
Fortunately, Xiao Lou had the Qin Guan card and they could always establish communication channels.

Yu Hanjiang thought about it and spoke in a low voice, “309 and 407 are upstairs and downstairs. 377 and 479 are also upstairs and downstairs. Our four rooms are like a ‘trapezoid’. The rooms on the same floor are far away from each other while the distance between the upper and lower floors are very close. Therefore, communication channels should be established between teams on the same floor. If something happens then we can directly climb the stairs to find people.”
Xiao Lou gave a Qin Guan card to Shao Qingge living on the fourth floor. “Mr Shao, please establish a contact channel with Old Mo.”
Downstairs, Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao established a channel.
There were some challenger teams who gradually gathered in one place. Yu Hanjiang was worried about the inconvenience of talking and simply took everyone back to Room 309. The eight people in one room were really crowded. They had to have three people sitting on a bed while Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou stood on the balcony to talk.
Yu Hanjiang took out the map of the cruise s.h.i.+p and had everyone examine it carefully. He pointed to the map. “The cruise s.h.i.+p will be at sea for seven days and there might be many dangers such as severe food and water shortages or encountering pirates. The most serious thing is the cruise s.h.i.+p hitting a reef or iceberg, leading to it sinking.”
Xie Qi’s eyes widened. “Isn’t this the same as t.i.tanic? I remember watching the movie where a cruise s.h.i.+p hit an iceberg, causing a s.h.i.+pwreck and killing many people!”
Yu Hanjiang told them, “This is the worst outcome and we need to be prepared in advance.”

He pointed to the tail of the cruise s.h.i.+p. “This should be the location of the escape boat. Long and Yue, the two of you should use the chameleon card while most tourists are on the deck to go there and confirm the specific location and quant.i.ty of the escape boat.”
Yu Hanjiang continued, “The negative floor should be the materials storage area. After confirming the position of the escape boat, you can check the warehouses on these floors to see if there are enough fresh water and food resources on board.”
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue immediately nodded. “Understood!”
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xie Qi. “Little Qi, you put on the invisibility cloak and go to the c.o.c.kpit, the cabin where the crew rests and the service centre on the third floor. Please a bug at these locations. Liu Qiao, go with him and cover him.”
The two of them nodded. “Okay!”
Yu Hanjiang told them, “Go and pay attention to safety.”
Late at night, Yu Hanjiang arranged for the four person investigation team to take the lead.

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue relied on the advantages of the chameleon card to blend in with the carpet of the cabin. They quickly crawled to the stern and the minus one and two floors of the s.h.i.+p. They confirmed the information that Yu Hanjiang wanted. Xie Qi put on the invisibility cloak and moved quickly with the teleportation card with Liu Qiao. The two people quickly placed the bugs.
Yu Hanjiang looked up and asked, “How is the situation?”
Xie Qi told them, “Everything is fine in the captain’s cabin. The captain is confirming the route. I took a look. The seven days is almost all at sea. There are no nearby docks to stop the s.h.i.+p.”
“The s.h.i.+p has more than 300 crew members. Many people on the s.h.i.+p are lining up to book tomorrow’s theatre and free 4D movie.”
Long Sen reported, “The stern of the s.h.i.+p has 15 electric escape boats with fuel tanks. Each one can accommodate around 20 people.”
Xiao Lou carefully calculated. “The number of escape boats can take 500 challengers but this s.h.i.+p doesn’t only have challengers. Once something happens to the s.h.i.+p, everyone will be fighting for their lives and there definitely wouldn’t be enough escape boats.”
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou. “Professor Xiao, let me borrow the feather pen.”
Xiao Lou immediately took out the contract book and handed him the feather pen. Yu Hanjiang quickly marked everyone’s rooms on the map and sketched out a path. “I will now confirm the location of the escape boat and the best movement route. In case of an accident, everyone will immediately evacuate along this route.”
He drew an arrow, stating, “Liu Qiao is the fastest and the closest one to the stern. Once Professor Xiao tells you to evacuate, you should immediately fly to the stern and grab an escape boat first.”
He used the pen to point to a position. “Long and Yue will use the long jump card to jump straight to the stern from the bend here. Meet with Liu Qiao as soon as possible. Xie Qi will use the teleport card to meet Old Mo and take Shao Qingge and Old Mo to the stern of the boat. I will go downstairs with Professor Xiao. Everyone should remember their course of action and meet at the stern as soon as possible.”
He drew the best path according to each person’s different cards. If the cruise s.h.i.+p encountered an accident and they needed to abandon the cruise s.h.i.+p to escape, the eight people could use their own abilities to come to the stern from different locations.
Looking at Yu Hanjiang’s calm expression and listening to his decisive voice, Old Mo couldn’t help feeling that a strong command would make people more confident. He believed that no matter what happened next, their team wouldn’t be destroyed as badly as last week.
