Everyone's surviving in the Dead Sea, my fishing boat is evolving infinitely.

Hearing the system notification, Lu Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally killed this thing. Second-tier monsters are different. They even have the ability to regenerate. Ordinary firearms can't do any damage to them at all."

[Congratulations on defeating the Tier 2 monster Devouring Shark! Items have dropped!]

[Rewards: 20 units of refined steel, one LV3 upgrade blueprint, and one gene enhancement potion!]

Lu Shuo's favorite moment is killing the monster.

The joy of finding a treasure is even better than... well, you know!

"Finally, I have the upgrade blueprints for a Tier 3 ship. Once I reach Tier 3, I will have an extra advantage in this Dead Sea."

"What exactly is this gene-enhancing drug?"

Lu Shuo put the shipboard upgrade blueprints aside for a moment. He glanced at them briefly and realized that he didn't have enough materials right now.

Upgrade materials required: 100 units of refined steel + 10 units of gunpowder

Lu Shuo could probably gather enough fine steel.

However, he had never seen gunpowder before.

Up to now, Lu Shuo only has a pistol. If he wants gunpowder, he has to exchange it with someone else, and Lu Shuo doesn't have much capital to exchange for it right now.

This gene-enhancing drug is what he's truly interested in now.

"Are all those 'Blessed Ones' in the chat channel taking gene-enhancing drugs?"

Lu Shuo recalled the news he had seen yesterday.

Some people have even mastered powers beyond those of ordinary people, such as repair skills.

This ability is incredibly powerful on the Dead Sea.

Repairing a damaged ship is very difficult; only an upgrade can fully restore it.

If Lu Shuo could also master that ability, he wouldn't be in such a tragic situation now.

At that moment, his fishing boat was frantically sounding its alarm.

"Durability is rapidly decreasing; ship's durability remains at 35%!"

"The deck is leaking; please repair it as soon as possible, otherwise its durability will continue to decline!"

Lu Shuo frowned and muttered to himself:

"This is bad. Although we killed a level 2 monster, the fishing boat was damaged too much. We can't upgrade the boat now, so we can only take it one step at a time."

Lu Shuo's idea was to use this durability to explore the surrounding waters and maybe find resource boxes, which could contain good items.

Once he gathers all the materials needed to upgrade to LV3, all his current difficulties will be resolved.

Just then, Lu Shuo heard several unfriendly voices.

"You guys on the ship, get the hell off here! So you're the one who killed a level two monster?"

"Be smart and hand over all the resources on this ship to me right now, or you'll be sinking to the bottom of the sea today!"

These guys' voices were incredibly arrogant and provocative.

Lu Shuo looked out the porthole and saw the group of ships that had passed by earlier.

"I had a feeling they'd formed an alliance, and now it seems I was right. But what does that mean?"

At this moment, these ships had surrounded the waters around Lu Shuo, ensuring that he would have no room to escape.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

They actually wanted to take all of Lu Shuo's spoils!

"Damn it, how could there be a bunch of parasites like you?"

Lu Shuo said coldly.

These people had clearly been following him all along, trying to take down his lone Tier 2 ship and seize its materials and resources.

Who would have thought that Lu Shuo would encounter a level two monster, which was extremely dangerous.

They hid to the side and waited until the shark that had devoured them was killed before running out again.

"Hey kid on the boat, did you hear me?"

"You're quite lucky; you actually managed to kill that stupid thing."

A bald man with dragon and tiger tattoos stood on the deck of the lead ship, shouting loudly.

"I was originally thinking that after you died, we would go and pick up some of your inheritance, which would be your contribution to us. I never expected that you would actually survive."

"I'm a kind person. You should abandon ship and run away now. I promise I won't chase you down."

The bald man with dragon and tiger tattoos laughed loudly.

His henchman burst into laughter, mocking:

"Brother, aren't you trying to kill this kid? The Dead Sea is full of monsters, how is he going to escape?"

"Then that's none of my business. I may be a kind person, but I'm already being lenient by sparing his life. He can't expect me to take care of everything, from his food and drink to his bodily functions, can he?"

The henchmen around him laughed even louder.

"That's just asking for trouble..."

Lu Shuo squinted.

He hates this kind of social scum the most.

He has always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me".

But if anyone offends me, I will make sure they are reduced to ashes!

"The fishing boats' durability has dropped to 32%. They have four level-two boats and five level-one boats in total. Can I take them down?"

"It might be a bit difficult, but how can we not try?"

Lu Shuo thought to himself.

He was extremely unhappy.

Anyway, he can't leave now, so he might as well die together with these mad dogs.

"If I survive today, I will repay you handsomely in the future! I have memorized your faces, so pray that I die here today."

"Boss, is this kid talking nonsense? What makes him think he can survive? There are so many of us, and he only has a second-class ship that's about to be scrapped."

One of the underlings pointed to his head and asked.

"Kid, stop talking nonsense and get down here and lick my shoe soles now, maybe I'll spare your life."

The bald man with dragon and tiger tattoos is named Zhao Long.

He wasn't a good person in his past life; he was always a thug in casinos.

Now that he's in the Dead Sea survival world, he only took half a day to gather a few like-minded bastards on the public chat and form a team.

From yesterday afternoon to today, they have already robbed several lone boats.

Finding resources is nowhere as fast as murder and arson.

In just one day, they acquired enormous resources that are unimaginable to ordinary people!

"A bunch of idiots, I'll run you over."

Lu Shuo sneered.

He floored the accelerator, pushing it to its maximum speed in an instant.

The propellers, radiating golden light, spun wildly, cutting the seawater into vapor.

Although the fishing boat's durability has dropped sharply and the deck has several holes, it does not prevent the presence of spikes on both sides of the hull, as well as on the bow.

"Get out of the way! This kid's gone mad; he wants to take us all down with him!"

The previously arrogant henchmen quickly steered their boat to create an opening.

"You bunch of cowards, hurry up and block him! Do you really want him to get away?!"

Zhao Long was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected his underling to be so cowardly.

These henchmen also realized what was happening and immediately set sail to block Lu Shuo's escape route.

Fortunately, a few of his underlings were bold enough not to let him escape.

Lu Shuo tried to break through for half a day, but ended up still trapped in their encirclement.

"Thinking you're invincible with just a few Tier 2 ships? What about these Tier 1 ships?"

Lu Shuo sneered and steered the ship toward those first-class ships.

His ship was extremely fast, and a first-class ship simply could not avoid it.

With a loud bang.

He smashed a poor fishing boat to pieces.

The ship wrecked and everyone on board perished!
