City of Steel, shallow sea.

On a patrol boat, three Mutual Aid players are sitting on the edge of the boat chatting.

"Erhei, do you still have more points? Lend me fifty points, and I'll have to buy a thicker sweater to wear in it tomorrow - ahh - Damn, it's too cold on the water...... Ahh A player wearing only a dirty single coat and a denim vest with several patches on the outside, cold and blue, sneezed and hugged his arm shivering.

"Bear with me, it's better to do this work than to move bricks in the North District, you give more points every day, you have to complain less, and there are two hours left, and you can change the guard." The black-faced player sitting across from him said with a cigarette in one hand and an oar in the other, a little irritated.

"Ah sneeze - you don't have a backache after standing up, last time the bishop was by grace, you kid grabbed a big padded jacket, and now - Ah sneeze - of course it's not cold!"

"Then you can only blame your kid for not being pious enough to be favored by the Lord God!"

"Pious? I'm much more religious than you are! Two Black ...... Can't you lend me points? Otherwise, I'm ...... I'm going to freeze to death......"

"Points? In reality, you will not be able to eat two less meals soon, and you will not die of hunger, and all the more food will be replaced with the cheapest synthetic food, and the vitamins will be changed for everything, and you will not get sick if you eat less for a month or two! Erhei was a little dissatisfied, but it was another player, who had been paddling silently, raising his head from time to time to look at the brain on his wrist, and not saying a word.

"Lao Zhang...... Can you ...... then" Seeing that Erhei refused, the player who was freezing to death looked at the player who was silent, and the one called Lao Zhang raised his head and glanced at him.

"I still have a wife and children to raise, you ask me to borrow it?"

“…… Sneezing ...... Lao Zhang, you ...... What is that?! The player suddenly wiped a handful of snot, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, pointing to the surface of the water.

"What's that? What do you see? What are you talking about? Erhei looked back, but the sea was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

"I ...... Ahh …… It seems that I saw some black shadow swimming past - ah! The player's face showed a look of fear, and he hurriedly rummaged over the weapons he was carrying on the dinghy.

"Really? Why didn't I see it? You're not hallucinating, are you? Erhei asked with some suspicion.

"Really! What am I lying to you for! The man trembled and pulled out an old shell gun from his bag, a weapon that was invented a hundred years ago, but in fact it was produced recently, made by hand by wasteland players, and can only be loaded with one bullet at a time, and the accuracy and power can only be determined by luck.

"Kuroko, be careful, maybe it's some kind of mutated big fish." Lao Zhang put down the oar in his hand and grabbed the weapon from the side, his gun was much better than the first player, it was a 47-56-1 assault rifle produced by Huaxia in the early years of imitation AK1.

"Mutant fish? Hasn't this piece been caught a long time ago? Now the dried fish in the city are out of stock-" Er Hei was just halfway through his words, a black shadow suddenly broke through the water and jumped out, the silver light flashed in his hand, and Er Hei's head flew up from his neck, and in his hand, he was still holding a cigarette and was about to send it to his mouth.

Before the other two players could react, the black shadow suddenly turned over and jumped onto the dinghy, and the mountain knife in his hand slashed a silver ring in the night, poof, poof, and the two players also fell into the dinghy one after another.

The black shadow was none other than Qi Lin, and after quickly killing the three mutual aid club players, he quickly got down and looked around, seeing that several boats in the distance had not noticed the situation here, before sitting on the edge of the boat.

The two corpses were propped up with oars and rifles, and as for the one that was beheaded, Qi Lin threw it directly into the sea.

After adjusting the sitting posture of the two corpses, after making sure that there was no flaw in the distance, Qi Lin picked up an oar and began to slowly row towards the shore.

There was a towering harbor dispatch tower on the shore, and there was a strong searchlight on the tower, patrolling back and forth on the sea, but whenever the light of the searchlight swept over Qi Lin's dinghy, the dinghy would be just a few meters away, just avoiding the light.

It's not that Qi Lin can't swim directly to the shore, it's just that there are collapsed ports under the surface of the water here, not a continental shelf covered by seawater. Therefore, the closer you get to the shore, the shallower the water becomes, Qi Lin can't use the cover of the sea water at all, if you swim directly over, I'm afraid that you will be discovered by players on the shore dozens of meters away from the shore.

The dinghy slowly approached, and none of the players noticed that the patrol boat, which had been four or five kilometers away, was now less than a hundred meters from the shore.

It wasn't until a distance of fifty meters that two Templars from the Mutual Aid Society spotted the dinghy approaching for some unknown reason, and one of them immediately waved his arms and motioned for Qi Lin to stop.

"We've been attacked by mutated creatures, and we've got two seriously wounded!" Qi Lin shouted loudly.

"What?"

"Two people are injured, and they are dying, and there is a mutated creature in the water in the distance, a big fish, with a sharp sword kiss!" The reason why Qi Lin said this was because the scars on the bodies of these two mutual aid club players, under his deliberate control, both slit their throats and died, just like being killed by a mutant fish with a sword kiss jumping out of the water and shaking their heads.

Hearing Qi Lin say this, the two Templars were startled and hurriedly leaned over, and Qi Lin also took the opportunity to row to the shore.

"I'll go to the doctor!"

Hurriedly dropping such a sentence, and the two cold corpses on the ship, Qi Lin quickly ran into the military port area, and the two Templars did not find that the player above was already hanging up until they approached the dinghy, and the black-red blood flowed back and forth in the dinghy with the shaking of the hull.

"Already dead? By the way, what did that guy just say? Mutant creatures? A knight looked at the two corpses and frowned.

"If you're dead, you're dead, report to the above, and let the people who patrol the sea outside bring more weapons these days, by the way, why did that guy run so fast and disappear all of a sudden?" The other knight waved his hand, then looked in the direction Qi Lin had left with some confusion.

"Who knows, I guess I was frightened? Call a few people over and clean up the dinghy, otherwise it will be difficult to get the blood frozen. ”

……

On the other side, Qi Lin, who ran into the military port area, took off the big cotton jacket he was wearing and threw it into the sewer on the side, which was taken from the headless corpse before, and now has no value.

In front of Qi Lin's eyes, there was a residential area for the peripheral members of the Mutual Aid Association, which was originally supposed to be a storage yard in the military port area, but now, the huge shipping containers have been converted into iron houses, and through the lights in the windows above, you can see that most of the containers are already full of players.
