Chapter 205: Chapter 179: What Exactly Did She Equip Her Raft With This Time?

"..."

After condemning Harold Thompson, the other players hurriedly started their rafts and began to flee. If they didn’t escape now, their losses would be even greater.

Harold Thompson watched their departing figures with a cold, grim expression. None of these players were reliable. It was every man for himself when disaster struck!

"Simon Quinn, what do you think we should do now?" Harold Thompson asked, looking at the man who was still by his side.

"Run!" Simon Quinn said bluntly. "I miscalculated earlier."

Rowan Rhodes would never negotiate with them, nor would she ever surrender the benefits already in her hands. She would most likely view their actions as a blatant provocation. Their best course of action would have been to flee the very second they saw her raft. While she had been away, her pets had managed to carry off their resources. Now that she was back, what would she do? Whether Harold Thompson provoked her or not, she would act exactly like her pets.

Harold Thompson firmly believed Simon Quinn’s judgment. With a soft grunt of agreement, he also started his raft. As long as they left this sea area and returned to their own territory before Rowan Rhodes caught up, there would be nothing she could do to them.

The few remaining players shared the exact same thought, pushing their engines to full throttle.

All of their actions were seen by Wendy Thorne, leaving her entirely unsure of what to do. Seeing the flurry of mentions tagging her in the District 122 world channel, she let out a long breath and began to type.

"Wendy Thorne: After Harold Thompson talked tough, Ms. Rhodes’s response was to start her raft and head straight for theirs. The moment they saw this, Harold Thompson’s team seized the opportunity and bolted! Now it’s a bunch of people fleeing while one person chases them. I’m right here at the scene, but I don’t know if I should run with them or stay???"

"Wow! Harold Thompson really is all bark and no bite. He talks a big game but cowers in reality!"

"Haha, Ms. Rhodes really is ruthless and straight to the point."

"Aw, Harold Thompson and his crew needed to be taught a lesson. Would someone like Ms. Rhodes need to steal? She could just take it openly."

"Place your bets! Place your bets! Will Harold Thompson and his group make it out of the shipwreck’s sea area?"

"I don’t think so. Ms. Rhodes will catch up to them."

"@Wendy Thorne, don’t run! Stay and record it for us."

"@Wendy Thorne, we’re waiting for your latest updates. Trust in Ms. Rhodes’s character. If you’re just recording, she won’t do anything to you."

"Wendy Thorne: Of course I trust Ms. Rhodes. I’m just worried that my presence here might interfere with her battle."

"Haha, maybe you’ll even get to talk to her face-to-face! We’ll wait for your good news."

"We’ll vouch for you. You’re doing this just so we can all watch the show."

"Wendy Thorne: Alright, I’ll stay and document everything then."

"..."

Persuaded by the crowd of players, Wendy Thorne chose to stay. She kept her eyes glued to Rowan Rhodes’s raft, watching helplessly as it closed in on Harold Thompson’s group at an incredibly fast Speed.

This Speed... was way too damn fast!

Wendy Thorne was utterly shocked. She had only spaced out for a brief second. The next moment, she began reporting the entire process in the world channel.

"Wendy Thorne: Ms. Rhodes has already closed in on Harold Thompson’s rafts."

"Wendy Thorne: The Speed of Ms. Rhodes’s raft is seriously fast!"

"Wendy Thorne: Wow wow wow! Ms. Rhodes’s raft has just overtaken the last two rafts in Harold Thompson’s group, and she’s still passing them."

"Wendy Thorne: Whoa! She’s still overtaking them, and in the process, she has started attacking their vessels. It looks like Ms. Rhodes is going to take on all the rafts! A Fish Spear Gun has locked on and fired. Though the damage is limited and only harmed their rafts, they are still trying hard to run. Ms. Rhodes is in hot pursuit."

"Wendy Thorne: They should have split up and run in different directions earlier, though it might still not be too late."

"..."

Following Wendy Thorne’s Introduction, the attention of all the District 122 players was utterly captivated. Many players found their hearts racing involuntarily as they wondered what the result would be and how it would all end.

Meanwhile, in the sea area of the sunken shipwreck.

While having Seabird One and the others chase after Harold Thompson’s rafts, Rowan Rhodes had already marked their targets one by one on the radar in advance.

As for herself, she began opening the various wooden boxes she had acquired from the sunken shipwreck. There were the original waterproof boxes from the Valentine, as well as the Wooden Treasure Chests given by the Sea Survival Game.

They were distinguishable because they occupied entirely different slots once placed into her inventory.
