Chapter 505: Chapter 181: Chaos and Disorder

The Dream Cruise is a rather unique instance for [Players]. It may be very dangerous, but it is still an instance after all.

Even if [Players] cannot complete the task, they can try to use the [Escape Coin] to leave the cruise ship.

However, for those ordinary people who are dragged in, this place is a fantastical world where they can enter but not leave.

The Earth Knight told Li Changhe that every once in a while, an abundance of food would appear on the dining table in the center of the hall.

The amount of food was more than enough for everyone to eat.

Each room was equipped with all necessary living facilities, so humans wouldn’t face pressure for survival while staying here.

But in this environment without law, restraint, or morality,

the dark side of human nature would grow wildly, and chaos would be inevitable.

When I arrived, there were only over seventy people from Hua Country. The other side had more than four times our number and had been here long enough to fully understand the environment and how to interact with the abnormalities. They occupied all the rooms on the first floor. You may not know yet, these rooms are very special. The doors cannot be opened as long as the person holding the room card doesn’t want to. Not even a bomb can blast it open, and the abnormalities cannot harm the people inside."

So each room is like a safety house?" Li Changhe thought, since the abnormalities could not harm the people in the rooms, it would be the safest option to hide inside one. He asked, "Aren’t there any abnormalities in the rooms on the first floor?"

No, the first floor is empty. Now it seems more like it’s prepared for us humans. In exchange for shelter, they put forward many inhumane demands," Earth Knight replied through the [Friends].

As for what inhumane demands, Li Changhe could roughly guess.

No wonder Monitor and the others look so haggard, this environment is full of malice.

Then... you took action? Did you expose yourself?"

Players like us have experienced this so many times that we wouldn’t easily lose our nerves. Even if I took action, I wouldn’t be discovered." Earth Knight thought to himself that when he was still level 4, Li Changhe was only just embarking on his first instance task, "However, in my group of people, there was indeed a player. Judging by his behavior, he should be a newbie. After a brief outbreak of conflict, he tried to seize a room card. After knocking down four guys who made the demands, he successfully grabbed one. But... apparently, he triggered some kind of abnormal restriction. As soon as he left the room and called us inside, he was attacked by an abnormality. I originally wanted to help him buy some time and let him use the Escape Coin. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even hold on for a second. In other words, they used the abnormality to kill him!"

Ordinary people using abnormalities to kill a player? That’s really bad news!"

Li Changhe’s heart tightened, "Are there any other players among them?"

There must be, as evidenced by the number of players involved, but they haven’t exposed themselves. So, in this situation, there’s no way for me alone to get out of here."

Indeed," Li Changhe thought, in this environment, morality and the like are luxuries.

For the people who arrived earlier, they thought they would stay on this cruise ship forever.

Gradually, they abandoned those things and completely exposed their dark side. Since they’d have to stay here their whole lives, they might as well enjoy it thoroughly.

Meanwhile, because they arrived earlier, they got the room cards first and figured out some of the restrictions on the abnormalities.

Having a room card is equivalent to acquiring a chance to survive safely in this place. It’s also equivalent to gaining the power to shelter others.

Understanding the restrictions of the abnormalities is like possessing a powerful offensive weapon. That player died because of this.

This really sucks!

This situation is even worse than during the [Sea Clan Invasion].

Back then, the presence of the Mermaid army constantly lurking caused many people to show signs of collapse. Some of them even had ulterior motives.

At least back then, the existence of official power prevented any messy situations from arising, maintaining a certain degree of order.

At the same time, Li Changhe and other [Players] were able to suppress things with their own strength.

But now, the concept of order is just a joke.

If Li Changhe were to pick up a mechanical bow and shoot people to make a fool of themselves, he would also be attacked by many abnormalities, and even Dog Brother’s help would be useless.

This was not an environment for [Players] to just charge through.

Li Changhe scanned the five-story building in the hall. From the known information, he deduced,

The rooms on the first floor are for human use. From the second floor onward, it’s all abnormalities."

The Tin Man was a passenger on the third floor, while the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary defeated by Yun Ting was a passenger on the fourth floor," Li Changhe speculated, "so the higher the floor, the stronger the abnormalities? Damn, this ship really has a sinister setup."

Although the Tin Man didn’t fully unleash his strength before being eaten by Big Lead,

his speed and strength shown while fighting Liu Tao made it clear that he was not inferior to Li Changhe, maybe even stronger. He was on the third floor, and so was the Pied Piper.

The Little Red Riding Hood, who had fought with the [Holder] Yun Ting for a long time, and the Red Shoes, were both passengers on the fourth floor.

It’s not yet clear if they are the strongest on the fourth floor...

So what kind of abnormalities are on the fifth floor? Class A?" Yun Ting’s voice echoed in Li Changhe’s mind, "This is indeed dangerous."

However, as long as we get a room card, we can stand invincible. Plus, if we figure out the abilities of the abnormalities, we can coexist peacefully," Li Changhe replied, then clicked his tongue, "But the other side has already achieved both of these things."

Li Changhe hadn’t expected this.

Upon entering the instance, the biggest enemy turned out not to be the abnormalities, but the humans who were also brought into the Dream Cruise.

Now, we have at least one room, and there’s another room holder willing to help us. But two rooms can’t fit all of us. Many people just sleep in the hall, which isn’t safe. The people around you and those police officers have been on guard all night last night," Earth Knight continued, "Do you understand why?"

Li Changhe glanced at the crowd and saw several police officers.

They were probably officers from the North Shore Police Station. Their eyes were bloodshot and they looked extremely haggard.

Despite being in this environment, they’re fulfilling their duty to protect the people.

This is what order means. Unfortunately, it won’t last long.

Many people would hope for a zombie virus outbreak,

so chaos can ensue and they can become the main character who saves the day and gets the girl.

In reality, they would most likely become just another ordinary zombie in the horde,

and eventually get trampled over by the protagonist while going, "Ugh!"

All they could hope for is that the protagonist didn’t eat garlic for dinner earlier.
