"OK."
Vivian nodded immediately, then covered her injured part with her hands and stepped aside obediently.
After a while, after Dashiqi entered the cabin, Vivian calculated the time and followed her in tiptoe.
...
You chose option 3, and received a reward: Strength +1
Feeling the slight soreness and swelling in all the muscles of his body, Vivian walked around the corner of the cabin. Just as he stuck half of his head out, he saw a sudden explosion in the boiler room at the end of the front. The heat wave immediately swallowed up Dashiqi at the door.
Vivian: =???=????(●???●|||)
“Dead…dead dead dead…dead?!”
Die already
Subconsciously swallowing the saliva in his mouth, Vivian couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw the corridor burning in an instant.
If I had chosen the second option and followed Dashigi in, I would probably have been affected by the explosion just now, right
But that doesn't seem to be the point now.
You know, even though Tashigi's role in the original novel is not that important, she is still one of the main supporting characters. Even if she was affected by the butterfly effect of her own time travel, she wouldn't die so hastily, right
And just as he was frowning, Dashigi, who had just been swallowed by the flames, emerged from the sea of fire again, covered in dust and slashed at the wooden wall beside her with a knife.
boom!
Large pieces of wood shattered into pieces, and a young woman dressed as an old woman emerged from the ruins. She was the "old lady" who tricked Vivian onto the boat with a bowl of fried rice a few days ago.
"Kenneth Nitia, you have been surrounded by the navy, surrender quickly!" Dashiqi said righteously.
"Damn Navy..."
Nitia's face flashed with displeasure when she heard that. Then she took out two bombs from her clothes and lit the fuses. She looked at Dashiqi with crazy eyes and said, "Today, no one can leave this ship alive!!"
The other side.
Option 1: Rush forward to help Dashigi defeat the enemy. (Completion reward: a random nature devil fruit)
Option 2: Speak to attract the female pirate's attention. (Completion rewards: Beginner Armament Haki, Beginner Observation Haki)
Option 3: Go to the utility room alone to rescue people. (Completion reward: Random plane sword skill x1)
Option 4: Hide in the jewelry box at the cabin entrance and wait for rescue by the navy on the deck. (Completion reward: random basic attribute +1)
Looking at the four options in front of her, Vivian, who reflexively wanted to choose the last one, was suddenly stunned.
The reason was simple: the fire had already spread to the storage room in front of the corridor where the civilians were held.
Glancing at the bolt that was tightly wrapped with an iron chain, Vivian could even faintly hear some crying and shouting coming from inside.
"what do I do?"
Vivian, who had already made up her mind to choose the last option without thinking two days ago, suddenly became a little hesitant.
Option 4: He will undoubtedly not encounter any danger. The heat-insulated box used by the one-eyed pirate to store jewelry will obviously allow him to escape the fate of being burned to death and hold out until Smoker and his gang finish dealing with the pirates on the deck and come to put out the fire and save people.
But this also means that other civilians imprisoned in the utility room would be burned to charcoal alive by the fire.
"They are just a bunch of irrelevant people..."
"What does their life or death have to do with me?"
He muttered quietly to himself.
The thought that he would be affected by the explosion after choosing the wrong option resurfaced from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing the fire spreading closer and closer, Tashigi and Nitia had disappeared from the stern of the ship. Vivian raised his hand and slapped himself hard, then put down the lid of the jewelry box and rushed to the bedroom of the one-eyed pirate opposite.
"cough!"
First, she picked up the bucket and poured water over her body, then covered her mouth and nose with a wet rag. Vivian quickly found the key in the room, and then plunged into the sea of fire again.
You selected option 3
Start follow-up tasks
Mission content: Lead all civilians in the cabin to escape successfully
Vivian calmly opened the door, enduring the burning sensation from the iron chain.
As soon as I entered, I saw a group of civilians lying on the floor near the door, coughing madly. It was obvious that the thick smoke in the room had choked them to the point of fainting.
"Wake up, wake up quickly!"
Vivian stepped forward and helped the two men at the door up from the ground. While dragging them out, he shouted to everyone in the house, "If you don't want to die, cheer up!"
However, just as he finished his words, accompanied by a crisp "crackling" sound, the large wooden boards above his head collapsed one after another without any warning and hit Vivian's head hard.
A strong feeling of dizziness instantly hit my mind.
At the same time, the raging flames completely blocked the door behind him and began to flow into the room along the door frame at a very fast speed.
Vivian, with a confused look in her eyes, turned her head to look at the scene behind her.
“As expected…”
Is this the danger you bring to yourself by not choosing the last option
He couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
But even so, I will never give up so easily.
After wiping the blood dripping from his forehead, Vivian climbed up from the ground with great effort, then walked to the shelves in the utility room, pulled out a hammer from a pile of scrap copper and iron, and then, with all his strength, he swung it heavily on the inner wall.
I don’t know if it was the two or three points of strength I gained these days that played a role at this moment, but with just one hammer, some cracks appeared on the wooden wall.
The scorching heat waves continued to attack from behind, stinging every civilian who was crying and coughing.
However, Vivian was completely unaware and continued to swing the hammer, trying to lead the innocent people in the room to escape from this desperate situation.
Bang!
Bang—bang!
One hammer, two hammers...
The frequency is getting faster and faster.
Finally, when the flames completely ignited the clothes on Vivian's back, a large amount of sea water suddenly poured in from the hole he smashed, washing over the bodies of every citizen curled up on the ground.
"it's over.."
Feeling the coolness coming towards him, Vivian loosened the hammer in his hand and lay back as if relieved.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
