The enormous mechanical claw, accompanied by a whooshing sound, plunged into the water and gripped the rotten core of the demonic tentacles.

"rise!"

With a teeth-grinding "creak" from the taut winch cable, this deep-sea predator weighing hundreds of tons was forcibly dragged to the surface.

The purplish-black blood flowed like a waterfall, staining the deck even more gruesomely.

The orange S-class treasure chest was also casually scooped up by the mechanical arm and gently placed at Qin Yu's feet.

"Ruobing, don't just stand there."

Qin Yu kicked the tentacle beside his feet, which was still twitching reflexively.

"Release the engineering robots."

"This is the meat of an S-rank lord; each piece is more expensive than gold."

"We'll peel off the skin to make armor, cut the tentacles into sections and freeze them, and that rotten eyeball... let's see if we can extract any biological materials from it."

Li Ruobing then came to her senses and quickly started operating the control panel.

"clear!"

The bottom of the warehouse was opened.

The TX robot slid out.

They pounced on the enormous corpse.

For a moment, the deck was filled with the "sizzling" sound of lasers cutting flesh.

Qin Yu ignored those things.

His attention was entirely focused on the orange treasure chest.

"call……"

Qin Yu rubbed his hands together, a rare hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Yao Qian and Yao Xue also gathered around.

Even Li Ruobing, who was in the cockpit, couldn't resist setting up automatic cruise control and running up to the deck to join in the fun.

After all, you might only see this level of unboxing once in a lifetime.

"God help us, please release a Gundam!"

Yao Qian clasped her hands together and muttered something under her breath.

Qin Yu rolled his eyes at her.

"What are you thinking? Where in this world would you find a Gundam?"

He reached out and pressed his hand on the bio-lock of the treasure chest.

"Click".

A crisp mechanical unlocking sound.

Immediately afterwards, the treasure chest lid slowly popped open.

There was no dazzling golden light as I had imagined.

Only a chilling, metallic aura rushed towards me.

The interior of the box appears to have been folded.

It looks like it's only a meter square, but inside it's like a bottomless weapon rack.

**[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have unlocked an S-rank treasure chest!]**

**[Item Obtained: S-Rank Individual Tactical Armory (Set)!]**

**[Description: This is a top-tier set of equipment sufficient to arm a special forces squad, encompassing S-level individual weapons across four dimensions: assault, sniping, melee, and defense.]**

Qin Yu's eyes lit up.

"arsenal?"

"Perfect timing, what we're lacking right now is individual soldier equipment."

No matter how powerful a ship is, it's still just a ship.

If we ever have to land on an island to fight, or if someone switches sides in a fight, the equipment we have is still too shabby.

Qin Yu reached out and grabbed.

First, pull out a heavy firearm with an exaggerated design.

It is entirely silver-gray with a thick barrel, on which light blue energy channels flow.

**[Name: S-Rank "Tyrant" Railgun Assault Rifle]**

**[Rate of fire: 600 rounds/minute]**

**[Features: Ignores all shields below Grade B, features a smart lock, and can be recharged infinitely (requires energy blocks).]**

"nice one."

Qin Yu weighed it in.

This weight, this substantial feel, is simply the epitome of a man's romance.

"Ruobing, here you go."

He casually tossed the gun, a weapon brimming with violent aesthetics, to Li Ruobing.

Li Ruobing caught it in a flurry of activity, almost collapsing from the weight.

"For...for me?"

She stared wide-eyed at the object in her hand in disbelief.

The cold touch of the gun and the vibration that seemed to contain destructive power made her breath quicken.

"You're ranked second, your combat awareness is quite good."

"This gun is perfect for charging into battle. If anyone dares to board your ship again, just take this and wipe them out."

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he took out a slender black rifle from the box.

The gun is extremely long, equipped with a silencer and a high-magnification thermal imaging sight, giving it an overall ghostly, deathly feel.

**[Name: S-Rank "Netherworld" Biotoxin Sniper Rifle]**

**[Characteristics: Silent and undetectable; the bullet carries a neurotoxin; even a minor graze can cripple an elephant.]**

"Yao Xue".

Qin Yu handed the gun to the icy beauty beside him.

"You're a doctor, you know best how to make someone die quickly."

"You don't need to aim too accurately with this gun, just hit the target."

"From now on, if any rats in the distance try to sneak up on us, you'll be in charge of calling them out."

Yao Xue took the sniper rifle.

He skillfully pulled the bolt, loaded the gun, and his movements were fluid and effortless.

She glanced at the distant ice floes through the scope, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"It's very easy to use."

"Thank you, honey."

The way he called out "husband" was so natural that it made Li Ruobing's eyelids twitch.

At last.

Qin Yu pulled out a set of technologically advanced lightweight exoskeleton armor and a glove resembling a drone control terminal from the bottom of the box.

"Qianqian, this 'swarm' tactical system is yours."

"You don't need to be at the forefront."

"Just hide behind them and launch drones to bomb them."

Yao Qian cheered and grabbed the gear, putting it on herself.

"That's awesome! Now I'm a combatant too!"

After distributing the others' portions, Qin Yu looked at the very bottom of the box one last time.

A knife lay there quietly.

There was no scabbard.

The blade had an eerie dark red color, as if it had been soaked in blood.

**[Name: S-Rank "Shura" High-Frequency Particle Battle Blade]**

**[Special Feature: Vibrates at a high frequency of 30,000 times per second, capable of cutting through metal and jade; possesses a built-in "life-steal" effect, restoring the holder's stamina upon defeating enemies.]**

Qin Yu gripped the knife hilt.

"Buzz—"

The blade trembled slightly, and a buzzing sound, yearning for blood, filled the air.

"That's more like it."

Qin Yu twirled the knife and then stored it in his system space with satisfaction.

At this point, everyone had finished changing clothes.

This four-man squad's current firepower configuration is simply outrageously luxurious.

If we were to encounter that demonic tentacle again now...

Even without using the ship's main guns.

With just the weapons these four people have, they could wear it down to death.

"Alright."

Qin Yu clapped his hands.

I glanced at the corpse, which had been almost completely dissected.

"Clean up the scene."

"Ruobing, set the course, target 'Underwater Garden'."

"Try this S-grade giant squid and see what it tastes like."

……

Night falls.

Night falls exceptionally early in the frigid, icy regions.

The wind and snow outside were still howling, and the temperature had dropped to minus ninety degrees Celsius.

But inside the luxurious restaurant on the "President" ship, it was warm and cozy.

The crystal chandelier emitted a soft glow.

The long mahogany dining table was laden with exquisite dishes.

The main course, of course, is the Thousand-Eyed Demon Tentacle.

And it's the freshest part of the tentacle tip.

"Sizzle—"

Yao Qian was holding chopsticks and grilling thinly sliced ​​tentacle meat on the hot plate.

The purple meat slices quickly changed color under high temperature, emitting a strange and rich aroma.

That's not just any ordinary meaty aroma.

That was the unique fragrance of high-level energy beings; just one whiff of it made one feel invigorated.

"Wow! It's ripe! It's ripe!"

Yao Qian picked up a piece, not afraid of getting burned, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

"Ugh!!"

Her eyes widened instantly.

"So bouncy and juicy! And when you bite into it, it's bursting with flavor!"

"Brother Yu, you have to try it!"

Qin Yu sat in the main seat, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

I picked up a piece and tasted it.

It's really good.

The meat is firm and melts in your mouth. After swallowing, you can clearly feel a warm current flowing down your esophagus to your limbs and bones.

That's the pure energy contained within S-grade flesh and blood.

If an ordinary person ate it, they would probably awaken some kind of strength-based talent.

But the people present have all already taken the gene serum, which is now just a pure tonic.

Eat more.

Qin Yu took a sip of wine.

"These next few days will be very busy."

"After the servers are merged, we will become the target of everyone's criticism."

"I must get myself into top form."

Li Ruobing sat at the lower end of the table. Although her eating manners were refined, her speed was by no means slow.

As she ate, she glanced out the window with some concern.

"Boss."

"That district-wide announcement said the coordinates would be released..."

"With a ship this big, we definitely won't be able to hide it."

"Should we find somewhere to hide for now?"

"avoid?"

Qin Yu put down his wine glass and started cutting the steak on his plate.

The clinking of the cutlery produced a crisp sound.

Why avoid it?

"It's good that the coordinates have been released."

"So I don't have to go looking for them."

"We'll anchor the boat in the underwater garden."

"Just wait there."

"Whoever dares to come, I'll bury them there and use them as fertilizer."

These words exuded an air of dominance.

Li Ruobing's heart pounded as she listened.

She looked at the man in front of her.

His sharply defined profile appeared particularly austere under the lights.

That composure to remain unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain is the most potent aphrodisiac for women.

She felt her face getting hot.

He quickly lowered his head and took a big gulp of soup to cover it up.

……

After dinner.

Yao Qian took the newly assigned drone back to her room to study it.

Li Ruobing went to work the night shift in the driver's cab.

The cabin fell silent.

Qin Yu went to the open-air deck on the top floor alone.

The sea breeze howled.

The wind made his clothes flutter loudly.

He leaned against the railing and lit a cigarette.

The red sparks flickered in the darkness.

Beneath my feet stretched an endless black ocean.

Deep and terrifying, as if some monster might jump out at any moment.

But Qin Yu enjoyed this feeling.

The feeling of standing at the top of the food chain, looking down on all living beings.

"What are you thinking about?"

A cold voice came from behind.

Followed by.

A warm, soft body gently pressed against his back.

Two slender arms wrapped around his waist.

Qin Yu did not turn around.

A faint scent of disinfectant lingered around my nose, mixed with the cool fragrance of high-end perfume.

That's Yao Xue's unique flavor.

"I'm thinking about how many people to kill tomorrow."

Qin Yu exhaled a smoke ring and casually made a joke.

You're never serious.

Yao Xue gave a light reproach.

Press your face against his broad back.

"It's so cold outside, why aren't you wearing more clothes?"

She said that, though.

But he wasn't wearing many clothes.

He wore a black turtleneck sweater with a white lab coat draped over it.

She wore a tight-fitting bodycon skirt.

The most dangerous thing is those legs.

She was wearing thin black stockings, which gleamed alluringly in the dim light.

These legs are Qin Yu's favorite.

This is also a hallmark of this former aloof chief physician at a top-tier hospital.

Qin Yu turned around.

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

It feels warm and soft to the touch.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you worried I'll get cold?"

Qin Yu looked down at the beauty in his arms.

Yao Xue wore light makeup tonight.

The gold-rimmed glasses perched on her high nose bridge added a touch of intellectual asceticism to her appearance.

But those eyes, which were usually cold and icy, were now like thawing spring water.

Full of tenderness.

"I am a doctor."

"I have an obligation to care about the captain's health."

Yao Xue raised her head, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

Her hand slowly slid up Qin Yu's chest.

Finally, it stopped at his collar and gently unbuttoned the first button.

"and……"

"I just ate so many S-class tentacles."

"It's a bit hot."

"We need to... cool down."

The implication couldn't be clearer.

Qin Yu smiled.

He liked Yao Xue's contrast.

By day, she's a cold and ruthless chief physician wielding a scalpel; by night, she's a bewitching beauty who only blossoms for him.

"hot?"

Qin Yu exerted a sudden force.

He picked Yao Xue up in his arms.

"what!"

Yao Xue gasped and instinctively wrapped her legs around Qin Yu's waist.

The long legs encased in black stockings rubbed against Qin Yu's tactical pants, creating a sensation that made one's blood boil.

Qin Yu did not take her back to her room.

Instead, he took two steps and placed her on the cold metal fence.

"Let's enjoy the breeze here."

"It shouldn't be hot anymore."

Yao Xue sat on the railing, with the dark sea behind her like an abyss.

The cold wind tousled her hair.

The metal railing beneath me was icy cold.

But this chill only amplified the internal heat.

"Qin Yu..."

"Not here..."

"They'll see..."

Yao Xue looked around in a bit of a panic.

Although it was nighttime, this was an open-air deck.

What if Yao Qian or Li Ruobing comes up...?

"This is my boat."

"I can be wherever I want."

Qin Yu interrupted her domineeringly.

He stepped forward and squeezed between Yao Xue's legs.

He braced his hands on either side of the railing, encircling her entirely in his arms.

"and."

"Don't you like excitement?"

Qin Yu lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

The hot air sprayed onto Yao Xue's sensitive earlobe.

It sent a shiver down her spine.

"I……"

Yao Xue bit her lip; that was her last bit of restraint.

But the body tells a different story.

She wrapped her arms around Qin Yu's neck, her fingers running through his stubble hair.

Since we can't resist.

Then enjoy it.

In this apocalyptic world, every second could be the last.

Instead of putting on airs as a chief physician at this time.

Why not go completely crazy this once?

Kiss me.

Yao Xue took off her glasses.

Those alluring eyes, now free of any concealment, were brimming with desire.

Qin Yu didn't waste any words.

He kissed her directly.

Brutal, wild, and with an air of predation.

"Well……"

Yao Xue let out a muffled groan.

This was followed by a warm response.

On this icy sea where the wind howls.

On this night when they could be attacked by sea monsters at any moment.

The two were like two raging flames.

Burning wildly on these cold railings.

……

"Squeak."

The iron gate leading to the top deck was pushed open a crack.

Li Ruobing was holding two cups of hot coffee.

She originally came up to get some fresh air and to bring the boss a drink.

After all, they had to travel through the night, and they were afraid Qin Yu wouldn't be able to stay awake.

But just as she pushed open the door...

The scene before her eyes froze her completely.

The coffee cup wobbled slightly in my hand, almost spilling.

By the dim light coming from the cabin.

She saw it.

Dr. Yao Xue, who was usually aloof and queen-like.

He was sitting on the railing in a completely unseemly manner.

The white coat, symbolizing purity, had already slipped down to her shoulders.

Those long, black-stockinged legs that she was usually so proud of were now tightly wrapped around Qin Yu's waist.

Swaying in the wind.

The shattered sound was torn apart by the wind and reached Li Ruobing's ears.

That sound.

Where is even a trace of that aloof and elegant doctor?

She's... she's practically a slut.

Li Ruobing felt as if her face was on fire.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.

She should leave.

You should close the door immediately and pretend you didn't see anything.

but.

Her feet seemed rooted to the spot, and she couldn't move them no matter what she did.

Her gaze was fixed on the man's back.

Broad, strong, and full of explosive power.

That was conquest.

That is absolute control.

Li Ruobing felt her legs were a little weak.

A strange heat rose from my lower abdomen.

She was also a prominent figure in District 9527.

The men who pursued her could line up from bow to stern.

But no man has ever made her feel this way.

This feeling... of wanting to kneel at his feet and submit to him.

"turn out to be……"

"This is what my sister-in-law is like in private..."

Li Ruobing bit her lip, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

There is shame.

I feel envious.

There was even... a hint of undisguised jealousy.

If I weren't the one in that position...

If those legs wrapped around his waist were his own...

Once that thought pops into your head, it grows wildly like weeds.

"Snap"

"Focus."

That domineering voice sent a chill down Li Ruobing's spine.

She woke up with a start.

No.

I can't watch anymore.

If we keep watching, something bad is going to happen.

Li Ruobing took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

They carefully and slowly retreated.

"Click".

The iron gate closed gently.

Li Ruobing leaned against the wall behind the door, panting heavily.

The coffee in my hand has gone cold.

But her heart was warmer than the scalding coffee.

She glanced down at her legs, which, despite being dressed in jeans, remained straight and long.

Then I thought of Yao Xue's beautiful legs in black stockings.

Li Ruobing suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It seems..."

"I still need to work harder."

She placed the coffee on the shelf next to her.

He turned and walked towards the driver's seat.

But his footsteps were even more hurried than when he came.

But outside the door.

The wind and snow continue.

Qin Yu's movements did not stop because of the slight sound of the door closing.

A playful smile curved his lips in the darkness.

His hearing is already far beyond that of ordinary people.

He knew without turning around who those footsteps belonged.

But he didn't stop.

They didn't point it out.

In this apocalypse.

Some things are more interesting when left to ferment naturally.

"Looks like this little wildcat."

"I can't hold back any longer."

Qin Yu chuckled softly.

He then devoted all his energy to the game called Conquest.

The night is still long.

The Presidential Ship cut through the giant waves and raced toward the unknown depths of the sea.
