The rusty iron ladder made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

With each step, rust crumbled and fell into the unfathomable depths of the sea below.

Qin Yu followed three steps behind the bald man.

The machete in his hand was not sheathed; the tip hung at his side, swaying gently with each step.

The bald man climbed very slowly.

He was shaking all over.

It wasn't because of the cold, but because of the smell coming out of the vents.

It was a stench that was a mixture of dead rats, rotten seafood, and long-fermented entrails.

"hurry up."

Qin Yu coldly urged him on.

He tapped the bald man's butt with his toe.

The bald man was so startled that he almost lost his grip on the handrail.

"B-Big brother, we've arrived. This is the deck level."

The bald man climbed over the last railing and collapsed onto the deck, which was covered in barnacles, panting heavily.

Qin Yu then rolled over and climbed onto the ground.

His gaze swept across the surroundings.

This is the stern of a container ship.

The driver's cab resembled a leaning steel tombstone, standing tall amidst the gloom.

What should have been a smooth deck is now piled with twisted steel and scattered containers.

Some of the containers were damaged, exposing the rotting goods inside.

"Don't lie down."

Qin Yu kicked the bald man.

"Where is the entrance?"

The bald man swallowed hard and pointed to a dark hole below the driver's cab.

That was supposed to be a sealed door.

The door is gone, leaving only a black hole that looks like a monster's mouth.

"Go in from there, go down three floors, pass through the crew rest area, and you'll reach the engine room passageway."

The bald man shakily got up.

His eyes flickered.

He lowered his head, concealing the fleeting glint of ferocity in his eyes.

This ship is hell.

But for him, who was familiar with the terrain, it was also his only chance to turn the tide.

The man in black was ridiculously strong.

But the things on this ship don't recognize who you are.

"lead the way."

Qin Yu seemed completely oblivious to the bald man's ulterior motives.

He gestured with his chin, indicating that the bald man should go in first.

The bald man took a deep breath, picked up a rusty iron rod from the ground, and bravely stepped into the darkness.

As soon as you enter the passage, the light dims instantly.

Only the faint glow from Qin Yu's battle suit barely illuminated the path beneath his feet.

The water on the ground was above ankle level.

Various kinds of trash, whose original form was indistinguishable, floated in the water.

There were also a few tattered life jackets.

"roar……"

deep.

A very low growl was heard.

It felt like a broken bellows was pulling, or like thick phlegm was stuck in my throat.

The bald man suddenly stopped, leaned against the wall, and didn't dare to breathe.

He pointed ahead and mouthed, "There's something there."

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes.

The helmet of the S-class battle suit automatically attached itself, covering his face.

**[Thermal Imaging Mode Enabled]**

The darkness before my eyes instantly transformed into patches of interwoven red and blue.

At that corner ahead.

A dark red heat source was stuck to the ceiling, slowly wriggling.

The body temperature is very low.

It's only about 20 degrees Celsius.

But this just proves that it wasn't a living person.

It's a monster.

"Go around it."

Qin Yu's voice came through the helmet, carrying a metallic quality.

He didn't want to waste his time here.

Killing monsters doesn't yield rewards; in fact, it attracts even more.

The bald man nodded and pointed to a side door next to him.

That's the cleaning passage.

It's very narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass sideways.

The bald man was the first to squeeze in.

Qin Yu followed behind.

The passageway was covered in slippery moss, and dried, blackened bloodstains clung to the walls.

"Big brother... watch your step..."

The bald man lowered his voice and said.

"Many people have died here before..."

Qin Yu ignored him.

His gaze remained fixed on the bald man's back.

This guy's heart is racing.

Although there was no malicious warning on the system panel, the emotions of "greed" and "luck" were almost overflowing from the bald man's pores.

Trying to cause trouble?

Qin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile.

Let's see who outmaneuvers whom.

After passing through the cleaning corridor, there is a slightly more spacious hall ahead.

It looks like a crew dining room.

Tables and chairs were overturned, and the floor was littered with broken plates and rotten food scraps.

"The cabin entrance is on the opposite side."

The bald man pointed to an iron gate at the other end of the restaurant.

"But...it's locked up there, we'll have to find tools to pry it open."

"Need not."

Qin Yu strode over.

As I passed a table, something that had been lying under it suddenly jumped out.

It was a humanoid monster wearing a tattered uniform.

His skin was swollen and a deathly gray, and his eyeballs had long since fallen out, leaving only two dark eye sockets.

His mouth split open to his ears, revealing a mouthful of sharp, shark-like teeth.

"what!"

The bald man screamed in fright and ran away with his head in his hands.

The monster moved extremely fast, crawling on all fours like a giant gecko, lunging straight at Qin Yu's face.

"court death."

Qin Yu didn't even draw his knife.

Just as the monster lunged at him.

He raised his right hand.

The five fingers formed claws, and the black nanosuit hardened instantly.

"Snap!"

Qin Yu grabbed the monster by the neck.

The immense impact left the monster's body suspended in mid-air, its limbs clawing wildly.

Sharp claws gripped the combat suit, producing a crackling sound.

Not even a mark was left.

"It's just a Class C mutant."

Qin Yu was somewhat disappointed.

He suddenly exerted force with his fingers.

"Pfft."

The monster's neck was crushed like tofu.

Black, foul-smelling blood splattered out, but slid down the nanosuit without staining it at all.

Qin Yu casually tossed the corpse aside like trash.

He turned to look at the bald man trembling in the corner.

"What's your name?"

"If you call again, we'll throw you into their food supply."

The bald man's face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Qin Yu.

Is this even human?

That monster that wasn't even afraid of bullets was actually crushed to death by him with one hand?

"I...I was wrong..."

The bald man shakily got up.

The plan in my mind wavered for a moment.

But then, he was consumed by even greater greed.

If only I could kill him...

This outfit is mine!

With this outfit, who am I afraid of in this apocalypse?!

And those two stunning women...

The bald man swallowed hard, his eyes flashing even more menacingly.

"The door is over there."

The bald man lowered his head and pointed to the iron gate.

Qin Yu walked to the door.

This is a heavy fire door, and the lock is indeed rusted shut.

"Get out of the way."

Qin Yu gave a low shout.

The bald man quickly stepped aside.

Qin Yu took a half step back, his right leg muscles tensing.

The light from the battle suit converged on his legs.

"Bang!!!"

A loud bang.

The entire iron door flew off the frame as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

It slammed heavily into the passageway inside, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Walk."

Qin Yu withdrew his foot without even glancing at it.

The bald man swallowed hard, staring at the deformed and twisted iron gate, his scalp tingling.

If that kick landed on someone...

OK.

The two of them continued down the stairs, one in front of the other.

The lower you go, the more humid the air becomes.

The putrid smell was now mixed with a strong diesel odor.

This is a good omen.

This suggests that there may still be fuel in the tank.

We've reached the bottom.

The water here is already above knee-deep.

A layer of colorful oil floated on the dark water.

"It's just ahead..."

The bald man's voice trembled slightly.

I don't know whether I'm excited or scared.

"That...that biggest room is the main control room."

Qin Yu looked ahead.

It is indeed a huge space.

Even in the darkness, the outlines of those massive machines could be vaguely seen.

That is the heart of this giant ship.

Several huge marine diesel engines lay silently in the water.

Although most of it is submerged underwater, the top cylinder head and air intake system are still exposed.

"I've struck it rich."

Qin Yu's eyes lit up.

He wasn't looking for a giant mainframe; that thing was too big for his raft to fit in.

What he was looking for was an auxiliary machine.

That is, a generator set.

"there!"

Qin Yu pointed to a high platform on the side.

There are three small to medium-sized diesel generator sets fixed side by side there.

Judging from the model number, it's probably around 500KW.

It's a perfect fit for the current "Presidential".

If we can just get one back, and then modify it with that Class C thruster assembly...

And that's how you get the power system!

"Let's go take a look."

Qin Yu waded through the water and strode towards the high platform.

The water resistance was great, but with the help of his S-class battle suit, he walked as if on flat ground.

The bald man followed behind.

His hand quietly slipped into his lower back.

There was a screwdriver he had picked up on the street hidden there.

It's very sharp.

Although it's not as sharp as a knife, if it were to get into your eye...

No, that's not enough.

The bald man's gaze fell on a red valve next to the platform.

That was a secret he discovered during his last expedition.

That's the pressure relief valve for the high-pressure steam pipe.

Although the boiler had been shut down long ago.

But this pipe is filled with stagnant air.

There's another kind...

Gases that can explode.

Biogas.

The bottom layer has been sealed off for too long, and the methane gas produced by the decomposing corpses has accumulated there through the pipes.

All it takes is opening the valve and having just a tiny spark...

The bald man touched the lighter in his pocket.

That was his last trump card.

The two climbed onto the high platform.

Qin Yu walked up to the generator and inspected it carefully.

"It's well preserved."

Qin Yu patted the fuselage.

Although the outer casing showed some rust, the core components were encased in oil seals and were not severely corroded.

"System, can it be stored?"

**[Large mechanical equipment detected.]**

**[Weight: 3.5 tons.]**

**[The system inventory has ample space for storage.]**

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

If we can't collect it, and we have to find a way to dismantle it, then that's troublesome.

Just as Qin Yu's hand was on the generator, preparing to put it away.

"Big brother! Look what that is!"

Behind him, the bald man suddenly shouted.

Pointing to the shadow in the corner.

Qin Yu turned around instinctively.

In that very instant.

The bald man moved.

He did not lunge at Qin Yu.

Instead, it pounced on the red valve like a mad dog.

"Go to hell!!!"

The bald man's face was contorted, and he gripped the valve tightly with both hands, twisting it with all his might.

"Sizzle—!!!"

A pungent gas gushed out under high pressure.

It instantly filled the entire platform.

Followed by.

The bald man pulled out a lighter, a crazed and ferocious smile on his face.

"Your clothes are bulletproof!"

"Let's see if this can prevent fire!!"

"Snapped!"

Flames shot up.

"boom!!!"

A ball of orange-red flame exploded instantly on the high platform.

The accumulated biogas was ignited, resulting in a violent deflagration.

The air currents surged.

The bald man was prepared; the moment he lit the fire, he rolled into the water next to him.

He dived into the dark water and covered his ears tightly.

Although it may cause shock and burns.

But as long as we can kill that monster...

It was all worth it!

The flames raged in the confined space for a few seconds before gradually dying down.

The air was filled with the smell of burning.

The bald man poked his head out of the water.

His face was covered in soot, his eyebrows and hair were burned off, and his face was covered in blisters.

But he was smiling.

He laughed wildly.

"Cough cough... Hahahaha!"

"You're dead! I'll burn you to death, you bastard!"

He climbed up the platform.

Looking at that wisp of black smoke that hadn't yet dissipated.

"Trying to fight me?"

"When I was a gangster, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!"

The bald man spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

His eyes were full of greed.

"That ship is mine now..."

"Those two women are mine now too..."

"That ice queen... I'm going to break her legs first, so she can only crawl on the bed..."

"And that little one...that one in white stockings..."

As the bald man fantasized, he rubbed his hands together and walked into the smoke.

He was going to find the body.

We need to take off that battle suit.

Even if it's slightly burned, it's okay, you can fix it and still wear it.

however.

As a gust of wind blew by, the smoke dissipated.

The bald man's laughter abruptly stopped, like a duck being choked.

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He froze on the spot, as if petrified.

Next to that generator.

Qin Yu remained in the same position as before.

It didn't even move an inch.

His black battle suit had a faint red glow on its surface.

That's the suit's temperature control system operating at full power.

The surrounding flames didn't even scorch a single hair on his head.

"This...this is impossible..."

The bald man plopped down on the ground.

His face was filled with despair.

What kind of technology is this?

Is this some kind of alien?!

That was an explosion! Those were flames reaching hundreds of degrees Celsius!

Qin Yu slowly turned around.

The helmet visor opened, revealing an extremely indifferent face.

He patted non-existent dust off his shoulders.

His gaze was as calm as if he were watching a monkey performing acrobatics.

"Is this your trump card?"

Qin Yu asked calmly.

The sound wasn't loud.

But it struck the bald man's heart like a heavy hammer.

"No...no..."

The bald man scrambled backward using both his hands and feet.

My crotch got soaked instantly.

The smell was a mixture of urine and burnt smell, extremely unpleasant.

"Brother...it's a misunderstanding...it really is a misunderstanding..."

"I wanted to...I wanted to burn those mosquitoes to death..."

"mosquito?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of Qin Yu's lips.

He walked step by step toward the bald head.

The black combat boots slammed against the metal floor with a dull thud.

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Thump."

Every step felt like stepping on the bald man's nerves.

"You just said..."

Qin Yu stopped in front of the bald man and looked down at him.

"Whose legs are we going to break?"

"Who should be climbing on the bed?"

The bald man trembled violently, his teeth grinding together.

he knows.

It’s over.

It's completely over.

Since the soft approach isn't working, let's go all out!

I'll kill you!!!

The bald man suddenly jumped up.

Clutching the sharpened screwdriver tightly in his hand, he roared and charged towards Qin Yu's lower abdomen.

That was the seam where the suit was attached.

He also considered it his only weakness.

"puff."

A soft sound.

The bald man stopped moving.

The screwdriver was pressed against Qin Yu's lower abdomen, but it didn't even leave a white mark.

The screwdriver tip even bent due to excessive force.

And Qin Yu's hand.

Sometime later, they grabbed the bald man by the neck.

They lifted him up.

Both feet off the ground.

The bald man's face turned a deep liver color, and he desperately tried to pry Qin Yu's fingers apart with both hands.

Not moving.

That was a pair of iron pliers.

"I already guessed what you were thinking."

Qin Yu looked at the bald man's bloodshot, bulging eyes.

His tone was completely flat.

"It all started with that glance you gave me from the ship."

"You're already a dead man."

"The reason I've kept you here until now"

"It's just that the roads here are a bit winding, and I'm too lazy to find them."

Qin Yu's fingers slowly tightened.

The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

The bald man opened his mouth wide, trying to shout, but could only make a "ho ho" bellows sound.

His eyes were filled with regret.

If you weren't greedy...

If you don't resort to crooked ideas...

Will I really get a piece of bread?

Is it really possible to survive?

pity.

There are no "what ifs" in the apocalypse.

That's my woman.

Qin Yu leaned close to the bald man's ear and whispered.

It sounded like the whisper of death.

"To even think about it is a capital offense."

"Snap!"

Qin Yu suddenly jerked his wrist.

The bald man's neck was broken at an odd angle.

His head drooped limply to the side.

Those eyes, filled with fear and resentment, gradually lost their luster.

It looks like a dead fish.

Qin Yu released his grip.

The body fell into the water with a "plop".

A splash of black water erupted.

Soon, it was covered by a thick layer of oil and could no longer be seen.

Qin Yu took a handkerchief out of his pocket.

Yao Xue gave it to him before he left.

He carefully wiped his fingers on his gloves.

Then throw the handkerchief into the water.

"The trash has been cleared."

Qin Yu turned around and refused to look at the corpse again.

He walked up to the generator.

Press your palm down.

"Storage".

**[Currently organizing...]**

**[Received: Medium-sized marine diesel generator set (in good condition) x1]**

The enormous generator vanished into thin air.

Followed by.

Qin Yu then swept away the other two generators next to him, several barrels of sealed diesel fuel, and all sorts of repair tools in the corner.

Wherever it goes, not a blade of grass grows.

After doing all this.

Qin Yu glanced at the empty platform.

The task here is complete.

But he didn't rush to leave.

Because of the system's radar.

The dense red dots are converging here from all directions.

The sound of the explosion just now.

This clearly alerted the true "owner" of the ship.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Qin Yu drew his machete and held it in his hand.

The S-class battle suit's shimmering light shifted to a dark red combat mode.

"I'll grab the loot and maybe gain some experience points while I'm at it."

He looked up at the pairs of scarlet eyes that were shining in the darkness.

A bloodthirsty smile crept across his lips.
