Decapitation Operation, a Backstab from Humanity

"Chan'er, go help them cook. I'll take care of preparing the ingredients. Don't hurt yourself."

"Oh dear, Sister Shen, are you complaining that I'm too slow? I'm a Tier 4 Title person, my physique is excellent!"

Sitting on the second floor of the ship's cabin, there were about sixty women, who were hurriedly "competing" with the materials in front of them.

At the very front, watching Su Chan's clumsy yet persistent demeanor, Shen Ke shook her head, a hint of affectionate reproach on her face, but she didn't try to persuade her further.

Based on the current situation, while the Tundra Fleet's firepower is indeed strong, its only drawback is the lack of a continuous ammunition supply chain.

The number of alien races is constantly increasing, while the amount of ammunition is decreasing accordingly.

With each side gaining and losing, there will eventually come a time when all the ammunition is used up.

At that point, if humans still wanted to fight at sea, they would still rely on the most primitive hunting tools.

Given the current defensive needs of the Tundra Fleet, both bows and crossbows are extremely scarce ammunition.

Each additional branch could potentially kill one more alien and save one more human.

Therefore, in preparation for the worst, everyone in the fleet except those on duty for combat and those ensuring logistics joined the ranks of ammunition manufacturers.

"It's only because all the creatures in the sea have been scared away, otherwise our Chan'er would definitely have commanded the fish to attack these alien races."

"That's right, these alien races are ungrateful and still want to take advantage of our fleet. With Director Lu here, they're really dreaming."

"I see on the World Channel the situation for humanity is really bad right now, sigh."

Once someone started the conversation, the other women who were making things couldn't resist chatting and started talking amongst themselves.

The war has now begun.

For Chinese people who have lived in a peaceful environment since childhood, the cruelty of war is unimaginable until they have truly experienced it.

Faced with a battle that affects all of humanity, the casualties, often amounting to tens or hundreds of millions, are hardly enough to evoke any other emotions besides fear.

"Do you think Su God will come to save us this time? These alien races are so arrogant, they've probably forgotten that damned Dog God's tragic end!"

"The ocean is too vast. Why would Su God come to save us? We're just worthless lives; we'd rather die than be saved by someone as important as him."

"That's true. I just hope that Su God can rebuild our home in the New Continent so that my son can have a place to live when he comes here. That way, I, as his mother, will have no worries."

"With such a terrible environment, even Su God would be struggling to survive. Humanity's foundation in this wasteland is far too weak."

"Sister Qin, you're worried about your son, but I'm worried about my daughter. She's only five years old. What can she do here? She can't even walk steadily!"

In the face of the apocalypse, it's easy for a small topic to lead everyone's emotions to pessimism and despair.

Soldiers outside, pressured by battle and on edge, temporarily don't think about these despairing things.

But the women sitting in the cabin were all filled with worry.

However, before Shen Ke could even offer any encouragement, Su Chan, sitting in the front row, adorably raised the unfinished crossbow in her hand and shouted, "Su God! She will definitely come to save us!"

Her appearance immediately made everyone present laugh.

The atmosphere of despair that had just risen and hadn't even warmed up inside the cabin was swept away.

However, before everyone could finish laughing and continue talking, the entire Tundra suddenly jumped, as if an earthquake had struck, causing the whole ship to shake.

Then, without giving anyone time to react!

In an instant, as the lights on the entire ship suddenly went out, three loud but muffled sounds rang in everyone's ears!

Boom! Boom! Thud! As if an explosion had occurred at the bottom of the ship, the Tundra, which had just been shaking and vibrating slightly, suddenly began to sway dramatically back and forth at nearly 50 degrees.

Under such shaking, several women who had just finished collecting materials and hadn't had time to secure themselves to the deck were immediately thrown against the interior walls of the cabin like rag dolls.

At this moment, the smooth arrow shafts in their hands were no longer weapons to shoot at the enemy, but became the Grim Reaper's scythe to take their own lives!

In the blink of an eye, a woman was pierced through the neck by an arrow shaft, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying onto the heads of everyone nearby.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Ahhh!"

"Stay calm, don't panic! Secure your belongings and put all the arrow shafts and sharp weapons into your Storage Space!"

"Our ship is stable, don't panic!"

As chaos erupted in the dark cabin, with explosions echoing from the outside of the ship's deck, Shen Ke, as the leader, hurriedly stood up and shouted.

At that moment, a second explosion occurred on the ship, and this time it was even more severe than the first.

The wooden Tundra, at this moment, tilted at an angle far exceeding 50 degrees, even reaching a 60-degree angle that was about to capsize! If it weren't for the game giving the Tundra an excellent grade and adding stable special abilities...

Otherwise, the Tundra's resilience would not have been able to withstand that attack!

"Keep an eye on things, I'm going outside to check the situation."

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Shen Ke pulled a pistol from her Storage Space, quickly untied the ropes binding her, and whispered to Su Chan beside her.

After receiving an affirmative reply, she disappeared nimbly into the darkness like a leopard hunting its prey, in everyone's sight.

"Hold your positions steady, don't panic, everyone stop wasting ammunition, wait until you see the enemy before firing!"

"Protect your gun, turn off the safety, and don't accidentally shoot your own people!"

"Our boat hasn't capsized, it's not leaking, I can see the stats on the panel, don't worry, we can make it through."

Although the interior of the ship was dark, Shen Ke, who was familiar with its structure, could walk up from the deck even with her eyes covered.

As soon as she reached the stairs to the Main Deck, she heard Lu Yongyi shouting through a megaphone.

After stepping onto the deck and briefly observing the surroundings, she understood the current environment of the Tundra.

The Tundra was ambushed! No, to be more precise, the Tundra was decapitated! Two large-scale attacks, plus several harassing feints along the way, revealed an undeniable fact to the alien race: only the Tundra possessed superior firepower, and during each attack, the Tundra posed the greatest resistance to the aliens! Therefore, realizing that by taking down the Tundra, this tough nut to crack, they could reduce resistance by more than 80%, the aliens planned this Decapitation Operation.

Somehow, they managed to evade the human scouts patrolling underwater, stealthily approached the Tundra ship, and launched an attack.

"Shen Ke, quickly take some men underwater to investigate and check the damage to our ship's hull!"

This was a private message from Lu Yongyi. Clearly, he had seen Shen Ke observing the situation on the deck.

After quickly replying to the message, Shen Ke immediately covered her head and rushed to the back of the ship again. On the way, she summoned three more soldiers, and together they went down the ship with their weapons.

Unlike the Hope's launching method, for the sake of sealing, Sailing Battleship in the wasteland must rely on rope ladders on the hull surface to disembark.

Holding onto these rope ladders, one can quickly complete the steps of going into the sea and coming back up, with a very high safety factor.

Without much delay, the four people slid into the water in two or three minutes.

Upon entering the water, Shen Ke couldn't help but gasp.

At this point, a hole the size of a car from the civilized era had appeared in the middle of the hull of the Tundra, and wood chips could be seen floating around in the seawater.

As the second person on the Tundra to possess a Level 4 title, Shen Ke immediately activated her underwater breathing privileges and rushed forward with all her might.

After reaching the hole and carefully observing the surroundings, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave a signal to the three soldiers who were still struggling to swim behind her.

The signal means that there is no problem, but repair is needed.

The invention of Watertight Compartment undoubtedly led to a leap forward in the safety of human ships.

Take the Titanic, a very famous ship, as an example.

It is said to be "unsinkable" and has 16 watertight compartments. Even if all four watertight compartments are flooded, it will not sink.

The Tundra, thanks to game-specific attribute bonuses, only has 13 watertight compartments. However, as long as the maximum of 4 watertight compartments is maintained, it won't sink! This attack only damaged about one and a half watertight compartments, giving the Tundra plenty of room to maneuver! [Shen Ke: Director Lu, one and a half of the hull compartments are damaged. I need half a day to repair them. We absolutely cannot let other alien races attack, otherwise our ship might really sink. Moreover, I suspect that humans and alien races colluded in this attack. I detected traces of explosives at the damaged area.]

After hastily opening the Game Panel and replying, Shen Ke hadn't even taken out the tools and items from her Storage Space to start fixing the loopholes.

In a moment of distraction, she caught sight of a soldier's unusual movement in the distance.

As the ship's steward responsible for communication with the outside world and internal affairs, Shen Ke believed she was very familiar with all the soldiers, but she felt a sense of unfamiliarity with this particular soldier.

Then, as the soldier turned around, their eyes met, and Shen Ke confirmed her inner thoughts once again.

Something's off about this guy!

The next second, seemingly realizing that his disguise had been seen through by Shen Ke, this "warrior" simply started to run away.

But poor him, he had no idea how terrifying the benefits a level four title could bring underwater! One needed to swim to breathe, while the other could breathe underwater. In less than twenty seconds, the distance between the two had already dwindled to three meters.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, relying on his speed advantage, Shen Ke directly pulled out a long knife from his Storage Space and slashed the leg of the fleeing person in front of him.

Whoosh! This slash was truly imbued with Shen Ke's rage; even underwater, it still resulted in a deep wound that exposed bone.

However, before Shen Ke could pounce and capture him, a series of noisy sounds came through the seawater.

The voice was so faint that only someone with a level four title could hear it.

But at that moment, Shen Ke was suddenly startled.

The cunning alien race actually took advantage of this time to launch a full-scale attack!
