103: Chapter 103 The calming effect, let's move forward!

"Little Lin."

Jiang Wanwan stood behind Lin Xiao, looking at the figures pushing and shoving each other in the distance, her brows slightly furrowed: "Are those people not valuing their lives?"

Lin Xiao did not answer immediately.

He was also puzzled.

Since when had these passengers become so brave?

Previously, no matter what happened, this group would wait and watch, testing and testing again.

Only after the first person to eat crab, which was Lin Xiao, successfully fished out treasures, would others follow suit.

But today, the pace was too fast.

Unusually fast!

At this moment, a private message notification sounded.

【08-09 Fan Sinian: Brother Lin, just now a guy in Car 8 went into the sea and almost died in the ocean.】

【08-09 Fan Sinian: After being rescued, he said his mind went blank at the time; he only knew to stare at the box on the sea, wanting to fish it out no matter what, and he simply couldn't control himself.】

【08-09 Fan Sinian: Come to think of it, it's exactly the same feeling I had when I saw that wooden box earlier, tsk.】

【08-09 Fan Sinian: Big Brother Lin, are you and the sisters-in-law okay? You must be careful!】

After reading the message, Lin Xiao's gaze narrowed slightly.

He put away the private message panel and looked at the status bar in the bottom right corner of his vision.

There was a persistent buff.

【Emotional Stability: After consuming mutated corn, immune to mental negative effects, lasts 15 minutes.】

He knew the effects of the coconut and goji berries.

But the corn...

What was the effect of the corn again?

He remembered Xiao He saying that this batch of mutated corn, besides having an extremely strong satiety effect, could also... calm emotions!

Lin Xiao immediately turned his head to look at The three women: "What did you all eat before we left?"

"The coconut you put on the sofa, it was icy cool and quite good," Wen Yiran answered first, "After drinking it, it felt warm and comforting in my stomach."

Jiang Wanwan thought for a moment and replied: "Besides the coconut, I also ate one goji berry. I didn't dare eat more, fearing it would be like last time..."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't finish her sentence.

"And corn, Brother Xiao. You took out a few before we left, saying you were afraid we'd get hungry and told us to nibble on them on the way..." Tian Xiwei added softly.

Sure enough!

Lin Xiao shared this discovery with The three women and simultaneously sent a private message to Fan Sinian, Fang Yuan, and the others.

"This sea area is problematic; it affects the mind. Before going into the sea, everyone must eat corn to get the calming effect. If you don't have any, don't go down!"

He paused and added another line.

"Also, don't stay on the wreckage for long, and don't touch the seawater. Find the box, open it, and retreat immediately. There is something under the water!"

After sending it, he put away the panel.

Jiang Wanwan, who was observing the situation behind them, leaned over: "Little Lin, they are about to catch up!"

"It's fine." Lin Xiao didn't turn back, just smiled and patted the entropy element lantern at his waist: "The further we go, the lower the temperature. If you aren't fully prepared, the only outcome is death!"

As he spoke, he looked at the denser and larger group of shipwreck wreckage in the distance, "If some people want to throw their lives away, we can't stop them, but our people cannot die in vain in a place like this."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao's gaze fell on Wen Yiran, and he handed her a piece of corn.

"Ranran, I'll have to trouble you to continue occupying the high ground and serve as our lighthouse!"

Wen Yiran happily took the corn and was about to take a bite.

Upon hearing this, her face instantly fell, and she pouted: "Ah, going up again? I don't want to..."

She dragged out the end of her sentence, grabbed Lin Xiao's arm, and shook it, her twin tails swinging back and forth with the movement: "The iceberg is so boring. I want to fight monsters; I want to blast them away!"

As she spoke, she let go of his arm, turned to pick up the compound crossbow, and struck a shooting pose.

The sea breeze blew her chestnut hair, and those two ponytails fluttered in the wind.

Must say, she really looked a bit like a female archer.

But...

Lin Xiao looked at Wen Yiran for two seconds.

Then he reached out and lifted her chin.

"Behave."

His voice was very soft, but his eyes were fixed on her, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Otherwise..."

He leaned over slightly and whispered into her ear.

"The one who gets blasted tonight will be you."

"Brother Lin!!!"

Wen Yiran's body trembled, then she turned to look at Jiang Wanwan, who was smiling with curved eyes, her face turning bright red: "Wanwan, look at him, he's always bullying me!"

Jiang Wanwan walked over and took Wen Yiran's hand: "Alright, alright, I'll go up with you."

Then she gently poked Lin Xiao's arm: "My Ice Arrow is too limited on the sea. Going to the high ground will allow me to perform better, and the cold mist created by Ice Breath Technique can also protect both of us."

Lin Xiao nodded: "That's a good idea, go ahead!"

He fished out a piece of corn from his backpack and handed it over.

"Take this. There's a buff in the bottom right corner of your vision. When it's about to disappear, hurry up and eat a bite!"

Jiang Wanwan took it and put it in her backpack.

Wen Yiran pouted but obediently wrapped her arms around Jiang Wanwan's waist.

She raised her left arm, aiming at a protrusion on the iceberg, and when she was about to fire the grappling hook, she suddenly turned her head and whispered:

"Wanwan, your waist is so slim and soft~"

"Hey, so annoying!" Jiang Wanwan laughed and swatted away the little hand that was about to get mischievous, "Get to work!"

"Hehehe..." Wen Yiran grinned mischievously.

The grappling hook pierced through the air and embedded firmly into the ice.

As the retraction device activated, the two women soared into the air, tracing an arc before landing steadily on the iceberg.

Lin Xiao watched them go up and then turned around.

Tian Xiwei didn't know when she had stood behind him.

She blinked her big eyes, her light-colored pupils reflecting a cautious seriousness.

"Brother Xiao."

Her voice was very soft, but every word was spoken clearly.

"I, I will protect you well!"

Lin Xiao smiled, reached out, and patted the top of her head.

"Good."

His voice was a bit softer than usual.

"I'll leave my back to you!"

This sentence warmed Tian Xiwei's heart.

Those light-colored pupils widened slightly, as if something was melting inside them.

Then, she nodded vigorously.

"Mm!"

Meanwhile.

On the sea surface near the train.

Many passengers exploring the sea opened treasure chests hidden in the wreckage.

The supplies were even richer than imagined; some people obtained level 2 equipment with attached attributes, or level 2 or even level 3 facility blueprints, and immediately started celebrating wildly.

But everyone's celebration didn't last long.

As the waves surged, the long-dormant Calamity Creaturess crawled up from the bottom of the wreckage one after another.

Greed makes people lose their sanity.

And people who have lost their sanity become the most succulent bait.

Accompanied by a shrill cry for help, the sea surface instantly became lively.

Everyone pulled out their weapons and started fighting.

But the fragmented shipwreck wreckage was unstable to even stand on, let alone fight Calamity Creaturess.

After all, not everyone was like Lin Xiao, who found a large deck from the beginning and used it directly as a boat.

However, the situation did not develop as expected.

Tu Gang, who had rushed to the front at some unknown point, suddenly let out a series of strange cries.

"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho~"
