"Boom—!"

The roar of the engine, like the furious cry of a sleeping behemoth, instantly tore apart this desolate icy plain.

The Presidential Ship started moving.

This steel behemoth, armed to the teeth by Qin Yu, was no longer a ship, but a ruthless bulldozer on the ice field.

The massive alloy ram at the bow, propelled by full power, slammed into the half-meter-thick ice layer ahead.

"Snap! Snap!"

The ear-piercing cracking sound continued incessantly.

The hard ice surface was as brittle as a sheet of paper in front of the "President".

Huge blocks of ice broke apart, lifted up, and were then mercilessly crushed into the seabed by the ship's hull, stirring up bursts of white ice mist.

Inside the driver's cab.

Li Ruobing gripped the control lever tightly with both hands.

Her knuckles turned slightly white from the force, but her beautiful eyes sparkled with barely suppressed excitement.

This feeling.

So cool!

She used to survive on a wooden sailboat, and when she encountered an ice floe, she had to carefully walk around it, for fear of damaging the thin wooden plank.

If it leaks, it's a matter of life and death.

But now?

Why would you need to take a detour?

Just run straight at it!

This is the absolute confidence that comes with power.

"Heading due north, speed 20 knots, stable power output!"

Li Ruobing reported loudly, her voice revealing a heroic spirit.

Qin Yu sat in the conductor's chair, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee in his hand, looking languid.

"Keep accelerating."

"As long as the engine doesn't explode, floor the gas pedal."

"yes!"

Li Ruobing took a deep breath and pushed the putter all the way down.

"Buzz—!"

The ship jolted violently, and its speed increased again.

The surrounding scenery rushed past, and the wind and snow lashed against the special glass, making a crackling sound.

Just then.

Suddenly, a dense cluster of red dots lit up on the radar screen.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Large numbers of living organisms detected three kilometers ahead!"

"Approaching rapidly!"

Li Ruobing's heart skipped a beat.

"Boss! It's a pack of beasts! The commotion was so loud it brought everything out from under the ice!"

It can be seen through a holographic screen.

On the ice ahead, the once smooth white surface suddenly bulged with large bumps.

Followed by.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The ice surface cracked.

One by one, ferocious-looking sea monsters rushed out.

There are mutated seals covered in sharp spikes, giant crabs the size of trucks, and soft monsters with sucker tentacles.

They were drawn by the roar of the engine and driven mad by the scent of human flesh.

It roared and howled.

Like a black wave, it rushed towards the "President".

There must be at least a hundred of them!

If it were any other survivor, even a top-ranked player with a speedboat, they would be so frightened by this display that they would turn tail and run.

But Qin Yu only glanced at it indifferently.

I took a sip of coffee.

"A bunch of experience packs delivered right to our door."

"No need to slow down."

"Just run them over."

Li Ruobing was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned fierce.

"clear!"

Since the boss said to grind it, then let's grind it!

The Presidential Ship showed no intention of evading the enemy, and didn't even make a turn.

It just rammed straight into the group of sea monsters.

"Bang!"

The first mutated seal that rushed up had just opened its blood-red mouth to bite the hull.

next second.

It was smashed into a bloody pulp by that sharp ram.

Blood instantly stained the bow of the ship, before even a scream could be heard.

Then came the second one, the third one...

"Snap!"

The giant mutated crab raised its pincers, trying to block it.

As a result, the person and their hull were crushed by the ship's tens of tons of weight.

Green juice splattered everywhere.

This is not a fight at all.

This was a one-sided massacre.

"Squeak squeak squeak—!"

The automatic defense systems on both sides of the ship have already been activated.

The small sea creatures that tried to climb up from the side didn't even get close to the deck.

They were riddled with arrows by the crossbow towers that were already waiting in the wings.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of crossbow bolts tearing through the air was incessant.

Each arrow struck the sea monster's vital points with pinpoint accuracy.

And in the air.

The S-class guardian "Skyhawk" now revealed its fangs.

It hovered above the ship's roof, with twin-mounted Gauss machine guns below spitting out blue flames.

"Da da da da da!"

The dense hail of bullets was like the lash of death, whipping back and forth among the beasts.

Those sea beasts with weaker defenses were instantly riddled with holes.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Limbs and severed arms covered the ice surface.

Yao Qian, sitting on the back sofa, was holding a bag of potato chips and watching with great interest.

Wow! That big bird is amazing!

"In a flash, the monster's head was gone!"

"Brother Yu, this is way more exciting than watching a movie!"

Although Yao Xue didn't speak, her eyes were filled with shock.

She knew Qin Yuqiang.

But I never expected that the ship's overall combat capability had reached such a level.

This is a mobile war fortress.

On this apocalyptic ocean, who can stop their advance?

Qin Yu looked at the bloody scene outside the window, his face remaining calm.

This was all within his expectations.

They stockpiled so many supplies and won so many prizes.

If he can't even handle these small fry, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

"Ruobing, turn on the windshield wipers."

"The glass is dirty."

Qin Yu pointed to the windshield in front of him, which was splattered with blood.

"Yes, boss!"

Li Ruobing pressed a button.

The massive windshield wipers swung up, working in conjunction with antifreeze windshield washer fluid to scrape away the layer of crimson blood.

My vision became clear again.

The ship rolled over the last sea monster blocking its path, its speed undiminished, and continued its mad dash northward.

Just then.

A crisp electronic notification sound suddenly rang in Qin Yu's mind.

This sound was different from the usual lottery announcements.

Even colder.

Even grander.

That was the voice of the "Will of the World".

**[Regional Announcement!]**

**[Regional Announcement!]**

**[The "Extreme Cold Ice Zone" disaster has been detected and will end in 72 hours.]**

**[To promote the evolution and competition among survivors, the system will launch the "Age of Exploration" update.]**

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed.

Put down your coffee cup.

coming.

It's finally coming.

**[Update details are as follows:]**

**【1. Regional Merger: Every 20 adjacent regions will be merged and reorganized into a single "super-region".】**

**[2. Resource Reset: The merged super ocean area will spawn higher-level resource islands, ruins, and deep-sea behemoths.]**

**【3. Ranking Update: Existing regional rankings will be invalidated, and a brand new "Super Ocean Ranking" will be generated.】**

**[4. Special Note (Important): To increase competitiveness, after this server merge, the "anonymous" function will be removed from all leaderboards! The IDs and approximate coordinates (accurate to 100 kilometers) of all ranked players will be updated daily in real time!]**

Hear the last one.

The atmosphere in the driver's cab froze instantly.

Li Ruobing turned around abruptly, her pretty face turning deathly pale.

"Cancel...anonymity?!"

"They're going to release the coordinates?!"

She knew all too well what this meant.

In District 9527, everyone knew about this powerful anonymous person and also knew that "Li Ruobing" was number two on the list.

But nobody knows where they are, or how much supplies they have.

This is a form of protection.

But once anonymity is removed, the coordinates must be published.

That's like having a huge treasure chest highlighted in red on everyone's radar.

In this apocalyptic world where there are no laws or moral constraints.

This is not an honor at all.

This is a death warrant!

"That's too cruel..."

Yao Xue frowned and put down the medical book in her hand.

"This is practically forcing everyone to kill each other."

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

"We have so many supplies on board, what if our location is exposed..."

"Even a single spit from one person could drown us."

The twenty districts were merged.

That means the number of survivors will increase twentyfold.

Even though a large number of people have died in the past few days.

The rest are all ruthless characters who crawled out of piles of corpses.

Or perhaps those large groups of raiders.

The potato chips in Yao Qian's hand no longer tasted good.

She looked at Qin Yu with some concern.

"Brother Yu...are we in big trouble?"

Qin Yu leaned back in his chair.

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

"Da, da, da."

The rhythm was steady and powerful, and the announcement did not throw them off balance in the slightest.

in contrast.

Instead, a playful smile curved the corners of his mouth.

It was the excitement of a hunter seeing prey running all over the mountain.

"trouble?"

Qin Yu chuckled softly.

"For the weak, this is indeed a catastrophe."

"They will try to hide like rats in the street."

"But for the strong..."

Qin Yu stood up and walked to the panoramic map.

Looking up at the vast, unknown sea area.

"This is a carnival."

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the three women.

His eyes held an air of domineering arrogance that seemed to look down upon the world.

"Back in District 9527, the pond was too small, and there weren't many big fish."

"It's difficult to even grab anything decent."

"Now it's all right."

"The twenty districts have been merged."

"Those hidden monsters and demons, the nouveau riche who hoard resources, and even the lucky ones with special talents."

"They're practically being forced to their feet."

Li Ruobing felt a jolt in her heart when she saw Qin Yu's fanatical gaze.

She suddenly realized.

I underestimated this man's ambition.

Others are worried about being robbed.

What he was thinking about was... how to steal from others!

"But boss..."

Li Ruobing was still somewhat worried.

"Even two fists can't fight four hands; what if they join forces..."

"joint?"

Qin Yu sneered.

"Can a flock of sheep unite and kill a lion?"

"Moreover, it's better not to be anonymous."

"It saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

"Anyone who dares to mess with me."

Qin Yu stretched out his hand and clenched it tightly in the void.

"Then let's follow the internet cable and charge in."

"Seize their ships, take their supplies, and scatter their ashes."

The voice just fell.

A strong sense of killing intent instantly filled the entire driver's cab.

That's the aura of someone who has truly killed people, seen blood, and emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Li Ruobing felt her breath catch in her throat.

Looking at the man in front of her, she suddenly felt very safe.

Yes.

What's there to be afraid of?

Look at this fully armed "President".

Then take a look at that man who possesses extraordinary abilities.

The people who should be afraid are others!

"Since the system wants to play battle royale."

Qin Yu sat back down in his chair, his eyes sharp.

"Then let's play with it for a while."

"But before that."

"We need to get that S-rank treasure chest first."

Qin Yu glanced at the radar.

We are less than fifty nautical miles from the eye of the storm.

The surrounding wind and snow were getting heavier.

You can even see that what's falling from the sky isn't snowflakes, but hailstones the size of fists.

The temperature is dropping rapidly.

Even the driver's cab windows were covered with a thick layer of frost.

"Notice."

Qin Yu's voice turned serious.

"We're about to enter the inner circle."

"Ruobing, activate full-power shield."

"Yao Xue, check all weapon systems and ammunition."

"Yao Qian, go and get my third eye."

The three women immediately sprang into action.

The panic from before had vanished, replaced by an unwavering discipline and strict enforcement of orders.

"Shield system activated! Energy output 100%!"

"Weapon system self-check complete! Ammunition sufficient!"

"Brother Yu, here you go!"

Yao Qian deftly handed over the Sky Eye system.

Qin Yu looked at the Heavenly Eye.

Through the swirling snow.

He seemed to see a huge iceberg, standing silently at the very center of the storm.

And atop that icy mountain.

A glimmer of golden light appeared and disappeared.

"Found it."

Qin Yu licked his lips.

"Hold on tight."

"Final sprint."

The President roared once again.

Like an arrow released from a bow, it plunged headlong into the black storm that seemed capable of swallowing everything.

……

at the same time.

District 9527.

The survivors in every corner were in an uproar.

The previously silent world chat channel instantly erupted in excitement because of that server-wide announcement.

"Holy crap! Server merge?! And they're going to cancel anonymity?! This system is killing us!"

"Oh no! If my supplies are exposed, they'll all be looted!"

"What's there to be afraid of! I've been wanting to pull off a big heist for ages! Merging servers is great, more people, more opportunities!"

"Hey upstairs, stop bragging, or you'll be the first one to die!"

"Speaking of which... there's Li Ruobing, who's ranked second in our district, and that anonymous guy who always sells water..."

"If anonymity is removed, won't their locations be exposed?"

"Hehehe...those are two big, fat sheep!"

"Especially that anonymous one, I heard he expanded his raft into a cruise ship, it must be full of good stuff!"

"Hey guys! Want to team up? Let's go take down the anonymous player as soon as the leaderboard comes out tomorrow!"

"Count me in! I've disliked him for ages! Why does he get to eat and drink like a king while we're stuck eating tree bark?"

"One more! If we rob Qin Yu, we'll split the supplies equally! If we rob Li Ruobing, we'll take turns..."

In a dark corner.

Countless greedy eyes lit up because of this announcement.

The ugliness of human nature was laid bare at this moment.

They didn't know.

They saw them as "fat sheep".

They were currently piloting a steel warship capable of destroying them.

In the storm, a set of gleaming white teeth was revealed.

……

The cockpit of the "Presidential".

Qin Yu looked at the messages flashing on the world channel.

Looking at those who clamored to "besiege" him and "divide" him up,

He wasn't angry.

I even felt like laughing.

"To surround and suppress me?"

Qin Yu closed the chat interface.

He pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

I took a deep breath.

Amidst swirling smoke.

His eyes were as cold as the ancient ice outside.

"very good."

"Hopefully by then."

"Your bones are as hard as your mouths."

"otherwise."

"My 'Presidential' ship might not have enough to eat."

at this time.

The storm outside the window intensified.

A thick bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating Qin Yu's angular face.

That's it.

It was filled with contempt for this world.

as well as.

A domineering attitude that prioritizes self-importance.

"accelerate!"

"I want to do this before the list is released tomorrow."

"Get that S-rank treasure chest."

"Then."

"For these ignorant ants."

"Prepare a big gift."
