Chapter 80: Running to the Neighboring Islands

Louis yawned: "No problem, I'm already sleepy, just rest here." ”

Olivia handed Katyusha the last bit of water in the canned box: "Give it to you, I've already drunk it." ”

The other party took the water source: "Thank you, I am reluctant to drink it, let's put it until tomorrow morning." If there is a large temperature difference between day and night, dew will condense on the plants in the early morning, which can relieve the urgent need somewhat. ”

Katyusha stood up and placed the canning box in a low bush, hoping that the night's condensation would drip into it.

"Good night." Hugh's greeting rang out in her ears.

"Good night." Katyusha put a few palm leaves under her body and gradually closed her eyes.

Amid the hypnotic thrashing of the waves, everyone quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, just after dark, the alarm of Hugh's watch woke everyone from their sleep, and at the end of the night, their muscles felt the soreness and discomfort they had not felt for a long time. Thankfully, the pain from the turtle wound on Hugh's back from the sea storm was no longer so intense, and the centipede bite wound on Louis's hand was gradually desiring. But I can't take care of it now, so I plunge into the busyness of the new day.

Katyusha took out the box of canned food that she had placed in the bushes last night, and saw that a small half box of dew had gathered in it almost happily, and she observed the low vegetation around her, and excitedly greeted everyone: "There is dew on the leaves of herbaceous plants, you can collect it, and it can come in handy." ”

Olivia picked up another empty canning box, came to the bushes, lowered the leaves of the plant, guided the dew drops on it to fall into it, and was busy for about ten minutes, and finally collected the water source of the half-canned box: "Replenish the water source before going on the road, sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter." ”

Hugh looked at the sky that was still shrouded in night: "Hurry up, get on board when you're done drinking." Then he took half a box of water from Katyusha's hand, drank it in small sips, and handed the rest to Louis, who had just woken up from his sleep and was still dazed.

After replenishing the necessary water supply, everyone worked together to push the lifeboat into the sea, take a full bag of cooked charcoal roast pork, jump into the boat, and float on the vast sea again, breaking the waves towards the small island in the distance.

"Goodbye, nameless island, goodbye, our old captain." Olivia looked out into the sea at the islands that were getting smaller and smaller as they grew away.

The lifeboat entered the blue deep sea area, the hull swayed rhythmically with the undulation of the waves, in order to save physical strength, the agent team was divided into two groups, each group of two people, one group was responsible for paddling, one group was responsible for observing the direction and movement of the sea, and the rotation was carried out every half hour.

At this time, in the direction of travel of the lifeboat, two patches of green seaweed appeared, and in the middle of the seaweed was a narrow passage.

"Get around them, and the seaweed will get tangled in the oars and trap us here." Olivia, who was in charge of observing at the bow of the ship, reminded.

Hugh, who was rowing with oars, took a look at the waters covered by seaweed, roughly calculated the cost of the detour in his heart, and shook his head: "It will take at least half an hour to bypass this piece of seaweed, and it will be a useless consumption of everyone's physical strength. ”

"Just be careful, and you won't be in trouble." Louis agrees.

"Be careful." Katyusha reminded in the stern.

The lifeboats soon entered the seaweed waters, and under the gaps in the seaweed were some small sea dwellers such as shrimp, seahorses, plankton, etc., who scattered around after seeing the behemoth intruding into their territory, keeping a safe distance from the boat.

Occasionally, you can see some fish that are accidentally stuck and trapped in the seaweed, giving off a fishy smell that forces everyone to cover their noses.

"My oars are tangled." Louis struggled to tug the oars, but it was stuck in the seaweed.

Hugh looked across from him, looking at the distance between the tangled oars and the hull, and it was obvious that it was impossible to reach his arm from the boat to cut off the seaweed.

"Let me get into the water and fix it." Hugh said as he moved his body to the other side of the hull.

"Be careful, the seaweed here is too dense, don't get tangled in them." Katyusha said with concern.

"It's okay, I'm very good at water, and it should be fine to move slowly." Hugh finished speaking, and went into the water close to the side of the boat, slowly moving in the direction of the algae, stretching out the saber in his hand, and patiently cutting the algae wrapped around the oars.

"Watch out for behind you!" Olivia exclaimed, only to see a sea snake more than a meter long with black and white ring-like stripes, which appeared on the sea behind Hugh and hovered there.

Hugh looked back and found a potentially deadly threat, and couldn't help but gasp: this is the ringed sea snake, a highly venomous snake, it is dozens of times more poisonous than the king cobra on land, and if it bites, it is almost a dead end in this sea.

Hugh held his breath, not daring to act rashly. The only two oars that could drive it away, one entangled in seaweed, and the other attached to a metal card slot on the other side of the hull that could not be removed.

At the same time, Katyusha clenched the dagger in her hand and tried to lock onto the sea snake below, but the fluctuating sea surface and the tiny snake body that kept writhing made her unable to do anything.

Luckily, after floating on the surface for a while, the Ocean Reaper was not interested in the humans in front of him, and swam towards the waters below the seaweed, where it loved to hide small fish and shrimp.

After a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Hugh quickly cut off the remaining seaweed wrapped around the oars, and finally completed the task and climbed onto the side of the ship.

"You're in luck." Louis patted Hugh on the shoulder and exclaimed.

"Hehe, this is purely a matter of probability, among wild animals, after all, there are only a few who take the initiative to attack humans, and for most animals, as long as you don't try to invade its territory or make a move that threatens its safety, you can generally get along." Hugh responded.

"In this case, restraint and calmness are more important than anything else." Katyusha clearly knows her teammates better than Luis.

After the lifeboat was freed, it followed the narrow passage between the two seaweeds and headed towards the water ahead, finally crossing the seaweed-infested area unharmed.

The lifeboat continued to break the waves on the sea, and after ten minutes, a familiar dark gray triangular fin resurfaced on the surface of the sea at the tail of the hull.
