"Boarding guests, please move forward quickly and do not linger here," came a shout from behind.
Mu Rufeng immediately turned to look, only to see two strong, towering abnormalities standing on either side of the floating bridge.
And in the distance, there was a massive dock.
Through the haze, Mu Rufeng could make out even more ships moored in the distance.
However, most of them were no match for the Gluttonous Cruise.
Even, because of the Gluttonous Cruise's docking, those ships scattered to either side.
To the extent that some who didn't get away were even directly devoured by the gaping maw of the Gluttonous Cruise.
"F**k! How does this not match the information in the database? How come it's come to the dock this time? And there are so many abnormalities?" Blondie suddenly yelled and then quickly made their way towards the Gluttonous Cruise.
It wasn't just Blondie; the rest of the Contractors also started moving quickly.
They all saw it, dozens of abnormalities on the dock, coming their way.
Even some abnormalities that spotted these living Contractors greedily looked their way, quickening their pace.
Mu Rufeng and Sun Lujia naturally saw them too, and so they also quickly ran towards the Gluttonous Cruise.
On the floating bridge, ten people split into four groups.
Two Level 5, two Level 4 Contractors led the first group.
Then three Level 3 Contractors were in the second group, followed by Mu Rufeng and Sun Jialu as the third group.
The only Level 2 Contractor fell behind at last.
A minute later, Mu Rufeng and his companion arrived beneath the Gluttonous Cruise.
Mu Rufeng tapped his foot lightly and found the ground beneath him soft and resilient.
Mu Rufeng swept a glance, noticing an area of at least a hundred meters.
Covered with giant tooth marks, burn scars, and rotting wounds.
"Wait... could this be that Deceit Whale?" The scene from his memory of steering the Bloody Train into the Gluttonous Cruise and colliding with the Deceit Whale flashed through Mu Rufeng's mind.
"Phew! We're safe here, we just need to wait to board," Sun Lujia sighed with relief.
"Right." Mu Rufeng nodded.
Mu Rufeng had learned from the database that there was a chance of encountering abnormal passengers when boarding with a ticket.
The most he had ever seen was more than ten, and while on the floating bridge, the abnormalities could lay hands on them.
But this time, there were actually dozens of abnormalities.
And once they reached the black waiting area beneath the ship, those abnormalities would no longer strike at Contractors.
The information in the database didn't specify whether it was due to rules or something else.
But now Mu Rufeng knew, because this area was certainly standing right on top of the Deceit Whale.
If any abnormality dared to act, they would likely be eaten by the Deceit Whale instantly.
As time passed, those abnormal passengers also arrived in the area.
The abnormalities were all oddly shaped, with almost no normal forms in sight.
And most of them were pig-like abnormalities.
Mu Rufeng's right hand unconsciously moved towards his waist, caressing his Pig Slaughter Blade.
"Brother, it's time for you to come into play again," Mu Rufeng murmured.
"This time it's really bad luck, most of the abnormal passengers we've met are pig-headed," Sun Lujia said with a somewhat grave expression.
"Yeah, really unlucky," Mu Rufeng nodded in agreement.
Of course, the "unlucky" he referred to were the pigheaded abnormalities.
[Pig Slaughter Maniac] + [Fierce Butcher's Knife], coupled with the Rule Skill [Cut in half], he would wreak havoc on these pig-like abnormalities.
Just then, the two sailor abnormalities guarding the stairwell suddenly spoke, "Boarding time has come, please all passengers board in order!"
As the sailor abnormal's voice faded, a particularly tall and powerful abnormality pushed through the crowd, being the first to ascend the stairs.
Behind him, more pig-headed abnormalities followed towards the ship.
Those other forms of abnormalities didn't dare make a move.
Originally, Mu Rufeng and his group had arrived earlier, but due to their wariness of the abnormalities, they had not stayed in front of the stairs, instead gathering at the edge.
"What a pity, if only I could have been the first to board," Sun Lujia sighed.
Whether it's for abnormalities or Contractors like them, every docking yields benefits for the first to board.
If it's an abnormality, after boarding, all expenses would be subject to a 20% discount.
For Contractors, not only would all expenses have a 20% discount, but they would also have a 300% increase in the completion rate of the crossing.
The second and third also had rewards, but much less so.
The second had a 10% discount with a 200% crossing completion rate.
The third had a 5% discount and a 100% crossing completion rate.
To be honest, had Mu Rufeng not known from the database, he would have definitely waited for those abnormal passengers to board first before moving.
At that moment, Wan Yong suddenly pushed off the ground, bursting towards the stair entrance.
With a "bang!" Wan Yong actually leaped over the second pig-headed abnormal and stepped onto the staircase.
"Court death!" The towering pig-headed abnormal on the stairs immediately raged, kicking a foot towards Wan Yong.
However, Wan Yong's body seemed to deflate, turning into a thin skin that easily dodged the attack.
Then he floated past the pig-headed abnormal's side, quickly heading upward.
Yang Zhaodi was even more ruthless; with a flick of her hand, a blood-red Spider Silk shot out, wrapping around the middle stair railing.
