Chapter 40 Environmental Protection No. 365
"However, there is one more thing to take care of before entering the instance." Yu Wang suddenly thought of another important matter.
Last night, while he was resting, he handed over the driving task to Duck A.
According to the preset route and speed, he will encounter the first system supply ship in the game this morning.
However, in reality, ships sometimes need to avoid powerful monsters when sailing at night, and it is impossible to keep sailing at full speed. Therefore, the time to complete 100 nautical miles will definitely be delayed, and it is estimated that it will be in the afternoon.
If you miss the supply ship because you're doing a dungeon run, you'll definitely regret it so much when you get out!
Then Yu Wang glanced at his status bar: [Mental: 73/100], [Reason: 70/100]
His mental and rational health is not good.
Entering a dungeon in this state makes it easy to make impulsive and wrong decisions. Even worse, going berserk inside the dungeon can be more deadly than encountering monsters outside.
While allowing your sanity and spirit to recover naturally, you can engage in some low-intensity activities, such as organizing supplies, cleaning the boat, sunbathing, or even chatting in the chat group to answer questions for other survivors and increase your influence.
With the plan set, Yu Wang was no longer impatient.
He maneuvered the "Little Yellow Duck" to maintain its preset course and steady speed, while having Duck A and Duck B take turns keeping watch on the sea to avoid missing the supply ship.
Time slowly passed on the shimmering sea.
The morning passed peacefully, and no sign of the supply ship was found.
Yu Wang was not surprised at all and remained calm. At this moment, he was doing simple physical stretching and deep breathing exercises. When he saw a supply box floating on the water, he would take out a grappling hook and pull it back.
Of course, they were all wooden supply crates, and there wasn't anything good inside.
[Received: Fiber x1]
Yu Wang pursed his lips and said, "Keep up the good work."
[Received: Stone x1, Black Bread x1]
Wow! How lucky you are! You found an empty box!
……
It's worth mentioning that another serving of the "Body Congee" was sold during this period, earning 100 pearl coins.
Adding the 300 from last night, the 112 from the water rocket cannon, and the 13 pearls I had saved up, my savings have now reached 525 pearls!
In the early stages, the figures were absolutely astronomical!
Yu Wang dared to guarantee that he could afford everything sold on the supply ship in the early stages!
This put his mind at ease.
In addition, he could also rely on eating chocolate, doing relaxing exercises, and being showered with compliments by survivors in the chat channel...
His stats have already shown positive results.
Mental state recovered to (85/100)
The rationality is (90/100).
At 1 p.m., the scorching sun slanted down.
To reduce water loss, Yu Wang had retreated to the shade of the cabin, but he still felt unbearably hot and missed the popsicles in the real world.
At this moment, "Duck B," who had been keeping watch at the bow, suddenly made a rough "quack" sound and pointed its wings to the right front!
Yu Wang immediately gathered his thoughts, climbed onto the duck's head in a few steps, and stared intently in the direction that Duck B was pointing.
At the horizon where the sea meets the sky, it was initially just a small black dot, but as the distance closed, the dot rapidly enlarged and its outline became clear.
That was a metal cargo ship ten times larger than the Little Yellow Duck!
The ship has a rugged design, and apart from the necessary living and activity space, the rest of the space is used for cargo!
The bow ram is shaped like a swordfish with its mouth wide open, made of metal.
The swordfish also had a four- or five-meter-long dried fish bone in its mouth.
The sides of the ship were decorated with wind chimes and ornaments made from marine debris such as empty bottles, broken tires, and tattered slippers, which made a jumbled tinkling sound in the wind.
The ship was painted a glaring fluorescent green, and its hull was covered with various threatening slogans and patterns in even more conspicuous white and red paint.
【Environmental Protection Number - 365】
Protect the ocean! Reject pollution!
Those who litter will be devoured by skeletons!
The azure sea must not be defiled!
Recycle trash! Purify everything!
……
Even from a distance, Yu Wang immediately recognized the brightly colored paint job as a ship belonging to a marine conservation organization!
He cursed under his breath, feeling the veins throbbing on his forehead: "What the hell! Why am I so unlucky!"
The supply ship that we'd been eagerly anticipating finally arrived, and of all things to do, it ran into this group of the most troublesome lunatics!
This feels like a birthday present you've been eagerly anticipating since your student days. You open it with great excitement, only to find a complete set of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" plus a stack of blank test papers!
Yu Wang suffered a great loss in his previous life! This group of madmen appears and disappears like ghosts, patrolling the sea to check whether the survivors they encounter have environmental protection habits.
If you are deemed a "marine polluter" by them, you will be fined and have your supplies confiscated at best, and at worst you will be hunted down day and night by the bony fish they keep!
Either you pay compensation to settle the matter, or you do environmental volunteer work! In short, you're definitely not going to get anything out of it!
run!
This was the first thought that flashed through Yu Wang's mind.
Dealing with these paranoids is far more trouble than reward. Their rewards are outrageous, while their punishments can wipe you out overnight!
Without a second thought, he immediately turned the Little Yellow Duck and drove at full speed!
Just pretend you never saw Environmental Protection Number 365!
As the order was given, the Little Yellow Duck emitted an unprecedentedly high-pitched "quack" sound. The hull shook slightly, and two duck feet at the stern thrashed wildly, causing a large amount of water to splash out suddenly, creating a clear visual effect of splashing waves. The speed was forcibly increased to an astonishing level in a short period of time!
With a base speed of 3 knots, after using the Turbo Duck active skill to increase the speed to five times, it will have a speed of 15 knots!
The next moment, the Little Yellow Duck reached its maximum speed!
The fluorescent green "Environmental Protection No. 365," which had been growing larger and closer in the field of vision, was immediately pulled away and shrunk back to a single dot.
Just when Wang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped a calamity,
The giant fish bone that the swordfish on the environmental protection ship had been holding in its mouth suddenly came to life!
Two eerie green phosphorescent flames ignited in the empty eye sockets, and the skeletal body suddenly struggled, like a giant white skeletal python, and leaped into the sea with a "plop"!
It then burst forth with terrifying speed, cutting through the sea and leaving a white trail as it hurtled toward the frantically fleeing Little Yellow Duck!
Its speed was even faster than the Little Yellow Duck when it activated its burst mode!
"Damn it, if you can't outrun someone, you unleash your dogs to bite them!!" Yu Wang saw it clearly and couldn't help but swear.
-
[Ding! Congratulations to survivor 'Yu Wang' for encountering a special event—the 'Environmental Protection Ship 365'!]
[Alliance: Marine conservation organizations]
[Danger Level: None (if you care about the environment) / Extremely High (if you are identified as a polluter)]
Explore the details yourself! Good luck! (System reminder: Survivors are advised not to litter.)

Upon hearing the game's notification, the corner of his mouth twitched violently, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart vanished.
Knowing that pretending not to see this move wouldn't work, there was no point in continuing to run.
I had no choice but to think carefully about whether I had accidentally thrown anything into the sea since I started playing the game.
Ever since he suffered several losses in his previous life, he has paid close attention to this point since his rebirth.
Forget about packaging paper and other trash, they even ate all the leftover soup from slurping noodles, and at most washed the dishes with seawater! Even going to the toilet... well, that's a way to give the fish a change of pace.
It could be said that his environmental habits would have been exemplary even on Earth in his previous life, and in this survival game, they are extremely rare.
Realizing this, Yu Wang felt much more at ease.
Under pressure from the bone fish, the Little Yellow Duck gradually slowed down, and was slowly overtaken and approached by the fluorescent green Environmental Protection Ship.
A sound amplified by a loudspeaker came from the environmental protection vehicle.
When the message reached the survivors, it was translated into their familiar mother tongue:
"Little rubber duck ahead! Stop the boat immediately for an environmental inspection by the marine conservation organization! Repeat, stop immediately! Otherwise, we will consider you a dangerous element damaging the environment and take enforcement measures! For the sake of the blue ocean! Hurrah!"
Looking up, Yu Wang could clearly see several harpoon launchers with astonishing calibers mounted on the bow deck of the opposing ship.
Standing beside him were several figures clad in fine steel armor, wielding long-handled harpoons that gleamed coldly, their eyes fixed intently on him through the gaps in their visors.
Environmental organizations also categorize ships into different classes.
The highest level is comparable to a floating city, while the lowest level might just be a small sampan. It seems my luck is truly off the charts today; the "Environmental Protection No. 365" I encountered is clearly a mid-level law enforcement vessel, well-equipped and with considerable combat capabilities.
Having completely abandoned any thought of resistance, Yu Wang decisively admitted defeat.
