On the fourteenth day, the number of people gathered successfully exceeded 10,000. If Su Hao hadn't been worried that the ship couldn't hold it anymore and waited any longer, it would probably be okay to have twice as many people.
That night, most of the game participants met together and listened to Su Hao's personnel allocation and action plan arrangements.
Except for the destroyers and cruise ships, the other ships were parked almost aground, so they were not afraid of being attacked by any large sea monsters. However, countless small but equally dangerous creatures are wandering around the ship at any time. They don't have to do anything, and their thrilling appearance alone is quite scary. This made every game participant clearly aware of the danger of the sea. Although everyone on the third floor must obey Su Hao's orders, Su Hao's actual action arrangements will determine whether they can inspire their fighting spirit and respond accordingly. All the power is exerted.
"We have been able to determine the location of the landing bay, so there is no need to separate operations."
Su Hao's first words erased everyone's worries about the "Suicide Squad", and the entire pre-war mobilization meeting was conducted in a relaxed and even humorous manner.
Everyone is evenly assigned to the ship based on their abilities and specialties, serving as the leadership group of the ship. Moreover, Su Hao did not have to worry about their lack of execution ability for the third-tier game participants, who had more than 70% professional soldiers.
Naturally, Qiu Yu and the others were not within Su Hao's assignment. Su Hao also made it clear that all Qiu Yu's actions were arranged by himself, and if any arrangements on the third floor conflicted with Qiu Yu's, they would all give way.
If this was the case, Qian Xiao would definitely want to use the destroyer as their personal driver, but Qiu Yu chose the shabby cruise ship instead. As a cruise ship with nearly half of its carrying capacity, it was naturally impossible to give them a few exclusive rights, so Su Hao took the opportunity to demote a white major general who was originally the captain of the cruise ship to deputy captain, and gave the crew of the ship to Qiu Yu.
Seeing that Qiu Yu did not refuse, Su Hao immediately moved the headquarters originally planned on the destroyer to the cruise ship. The deputy captain who had just been demoted was now completely squeezed out of the captain's ranks.
If unified action is a good medicine to eliminate everyone's uneasiness, then what really makes them confident in this operation is the guarantee of safety.
Technological products such as strong ships, powerful guns, missiles and radars can make this operation safer, but they are definitely not the only means to ensure safety. There is no perfection in the universe, so there are no problems that cannot be solved by non-technological means.
Su Hao didn't even need to explain this method. Many people had discovered it themselves - most creatures, no matter how ferocious they looked or how ferocious they were in reality, were afraid of those red seaweeds. Just hanging it in a circle around the boat is as effective as using insecticide to repel mosquitoes and flies.
Although the radiation from red seaweed has the same impact on everyone, according to Qian Xiao's investigation, as long as people living in this world do not eat red seaweed directly, or the amount of red seaweed reaches a terrifying level, then a few months Close contact will not have much impact on them.
Although game participants will suffer neurological and immune system damage, failure means death, and victory means super healing from the regulator, so there is no problem in this regard.
The subordinates will always only obey. When the superiors to them end the meeting, the entire journey will be finalized.
Carts of flour, dried meat, drinking water, and even fruits such as oranges with skins three or four times thicker than before were transported to various ships in small boats one by one.
This can also be regarded as a test of the protective effect of red seaweed, and at the same time, these "mercenaries" can see with their own eyes that the sea is not as scary as they say in legends.
These small boats are all covered with a layer of fishing nets. As they move, scattered red seaweed is caught on the nets. Some things that looked like miniature crocodiles were still cruising around the boat at first, ready to do something. However, after the boat was surrounded by red seaweed, the distance between them and the boat was kept at least ten meters away.
The mercenaries, who came here solely because of their passion or the temptation of high rewards, became more motivated after seeing this simple and effective method. In less than half a day, they completed the purchase of all items through the most primitive method. Shipment work.
After Qian Xiao got on the cruise ship first, he let out a long sigh. This luxury cruise ship, which was supposed to be enjoyed by the rich, had now become like a long-abandoned steel factory, with rust everywhere. Some steel stairs that look stable will make a creaking sound like a suspension bridge when you walk up it. Of course, this refers to the situation when people with normal body shapes such as Li Ningfeng and Qiu Yu walk on them. When Qian Xiao starts to walk, there are big chunks. Not only were the pieces of rust starting to fall off, but the joints of the stairs would also make the sound of metal cracking from time to time.
However, the overall structure of the hull is still relatively stable. Although the outermost compartment is damaged, the hull is still intact, at least there is no water leaking in. As for the inner warehouse, except for some bullet holes that were probably left by third-level players when they cleaned up the monsters or homeless people here, they are basically intact.
Qian Xiao and Li Ningfeng immediately took advantage of the privileged class and selected the two luxurious suites in the center for a few people to live in. Although they are far from luxurious now, at least the central location ensures that this is the best place for the entire ship. The safest place.
And Qiu Yu carefully studied the deployment of defense in each place. No matter what, after getting on the ship, his life was almost connected with this place. The most trustworthy thing was his own arrangement. .
This cruise ship is more than 300 meters long and has more than 2,000 cabins. It can accommodate 10,000 people even if it is squeezed in. The current plan is to only accommodate 5,000 people. Even if the damage is removed, 5,000 people are enough. It's a comfortable life, but on the other hand, it's a bit difficult to use this place as a solidly defended fortress. In Qiu Yu's plan, every corner of the ship must be watched at all times. Otherwise, there is no chance that some perverted creature would sneak onto the ship and kill everyone using the same perverted method.
After some choices, Qiuyu arranged 6 teams of 30 people each around the chimney on the top of the ship, and prepared a corresponding number of telescopes, five heavy machine guns, and ten sniper rifles to monitor the entire ship and its surroundings. Relevant to the sea surface, and can make a powerful attack at the first time. The arrangement of six groups of people keeps everyone's physical strength and concentration in the best condition at all times.
In addition, corresponding people are also arranged on each other deck. Not to mention, the outermost circle of cabins, no matter whether they are good or bad, are not allowed to be occupied and are all used for the arrangement of sentries.
Finally, Qiuyu also established four mobile teams with the game participants in the third level as the core, which can be used to solve emergencies on the ship at any time. The members of these four mobile teams happened to be the results of Su Hao's elite selection.
After making all these arrangements, Qiu Yu was still worried and handed over other supplementary defense work to Su Hao. After all, his own temporary plan could never compare to professionals in this field.
After the internal arrangements are almost done, it becomes a matter of routes. Although there were maps made by homeless people that pointed out the general direction of the City of Ashes, Su Hao mobilized his strength to search for any island maps that might be the original form of the City of Ashes. But the former just points to the direction to the sea, which is completely unreliable. The latter was even more troublesome. On any map collected by Su Hao, there were at least a dozen places pointed out, which might be the location of the City of Ashes. The dozens of maps added together did not include duplicates. Looking in the direction pointed by the homeless map, there are at least twenty possible islands. The nearest one is only a few dozen kilometers, and the farthest one is nearly 10,000 kilometers. Regardless of time, conditions or energy, it is impossible to confirm them one by one. Therefore, the final course still depends on Qiu Yan’s pet.
On the morning of the sixteenth day, with the destroyer in the lead, the cruise ship in the rear, and other large and small ships guarding the formation around the two ships, the entire expedition team was fully prepared to set off. The only difference was the direction of travel.
Under the spotlight of everyone, Qiu Yan slowly arrived on the top passenger deck of the cruise ship, and her pet, already like a competent servant, followed her step by step.
This weird combination made nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes look in disbelief. Here are all excellent warriors who have been fighting in the wilderness for a long time. Even if they have not seen the powerful monster that destroyed Bergondo, they have at least heard of it.
Now seeing this kind of monster that has been described by various legends as being as powerful and evil as the devil, suddenly appearing close to me is already shocking enough, but compared to this, such a monster is actually Being tamed like an honest puppy... This is completely beyond their understanding. In their opinion, this is far more outrageous than letting rats replace camels to transport things to humans.
But something even more outrageous is yet to come.
After Qiu Yan walked to the side of the boat with the humanoid monster, he didn't say anything and just pointed at the sea surface dozens of meters below. The monster with considerable intelligence understood Qiu Yan's meaning in an instant, but perhaps because it was too smart, it thought it was Qiu Yan's test of it, so it stood still in place more and more honestly.
Qiu Yan was naturally quite dissatisfied with this situation, so he still said nothing and walked quietly behind the humanoid monster. At the moment when the shock in tens of thousands of eyes turned into confusion, Qiu Yan kicked the humanoid monster on the waist. With a sharp wailing, the poor guy flew straight into the air for more than thirty years. After several meters, he drew a parabola and fell heavily into the sea. The waves several meters high seemed like a missile had exploded just now.
