Chapter 8: Survivors

"Uncle Lothar, let me come." Varian grabbed the sailor and said to Lothar.

In fact, just now when he saw those floating corpses floating on the sea, Varian's heart was shaken a lot.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary young man, at most he had seen some videos and pictures of the disaster on the news or on the Internet, how could he have the opportunity to witness several tragic corpses like today.

In fact, these are still small scenes, and when those big bosses take turns to appear in the future, they will destroy the world at every turn, and he will see much more tragic and cruel things happen in the future.

Those pale corpses seemed to tell Varian about the cruelty of this otherworld, where there was no such peaceful environment as in the previous life, and if you want to keep yourself safe, you must have great strength.

Varian once again clearly realized how dangerous Azeroth was, and in order to overcome the psychological weakness caused by the habits of his previous life as soon as possible, he took the initiative to propose to Lothar that he wanted to go down to rescue the survivors.

"Uh...... Okay, but you have to be careful and stay safe. Lothar looked at Varian, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

Anyway, there is no danger in having his own watch, and Lothar believes that Varian's ability to take the initiative to help others is a manifestation of his kindness and benevolence, which should be a good quality for the successor of the Stormwind Kingdom.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lothar, I'll take care of it."

Varian patted the sailor next to him on the shoulder, walked to the side of the boat, and said, "Come, you come with me to get that little guy up." ”

By this time, the rescue dinghy had been released into the sea by the other sailors, and Varian grabbed the rope tied to the edge of the ship's side with both hands, and jumped onto the dinghy after pedaling the boat in a few steps.

When the other sailors had come down, Varian picked up the oars from the dinghy, handed him one of them, and said to him, "Hey man, let's row harder, don't keep the little one waiting too long." ”

"Yes! Your Royal Highness! Shui Fa Hado is here to help! ”

Fajardo clenched his fists and hammered his chest hard, looking a little nervous, but more excited.

For Fajardo, it was an honour for him to go with His Royal Highness the Prince to save people, enough for him to show off to the other sailors on board.

Fajardo took Varian's oars and paddled hard.

He was a strong young man, and Varian, who had been promoted to level 8 after the dungeon experience these days, was not weak, and the two of them quickly rowed the boat next to the barrel where the child was lying on his stomach.

Varian put the oars aside, leaned out of the boat, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the little one's arm, and fished him out of the sea.

The boy didn't look very old, he wasn't tall, he was very light, and it didn't take much effort for Varian to carry him to the dinghy.

Varian put his hand under the child's nose and felt it, and shouted at Lothar and the others on the boat, "This child still breathes!" He's alive! We'll send him right away! ”

The two paddled back to the side of the boat in the dinghy, and after some nervous rescue, the poor but lucky child was finally pulled back to the deck to wait for treatment.

Pastor Nils prayed and cast a recovery spell on the little one, but it didn't work very well.

The experienced Captain Aubrey stepped forward to look at the child's condition and said, "This child has been soaking in the sea for too long, so his body is already severely short of water, and the Holy Light can play a limited role. ”

At this time, the little guy had fallen into a coma, his skin was wrinkled due to long-term immersion in the high salt concentration of seawater, and his short wet hair was clinging to his scalp one by one.

Varian looked at the child he had rescued with his own hands, he had black hair of the same color as himself, which made Varian feel very kind to him who had just crossed over, and it was one of the reasons why he took the initiative to participate in the rescue just now.

Captain Aubrey continued: "Now we need to give him a good wash, and then slowly feed him some water and liquid oatmeal, if the water and porridge can be fed he will have any hope of survival, otherwise no one knows if he will be able to wake up again." ”

Varian thought for a moment and said, "The other cabins are too crowded, so let's carry this child directly to my room, and wait until the child wakes up." Millie, you go and bring a basin of water and I'll wipe him down. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince." The maid, Millie, went to prepare the water.

The sailor had sent the boy to his room as Varian had ordered, and someone else had brought some slightly old bedding and spread it on the floor on the other side of the room.

The beds in the cabins were fixed to cope with the storms at sea when the ship was built, and the number is limited, and most of them are currently distributed to the elderly and children. The rest of the fleet was bunked in the cabins, and several people were often crammed into one cabin. In comparison, Varian took good care of the child by temporarily placing the child in his room.

A survivor was finally found, which lifted the spirits of the people on board.

They continued their search and rescue efforts to find a few more survivors.

Unfortunately, in the end, there were no other living victims around except this child.

"Looks like only this little guy survived......" Lothar shook her head with a sigh.

It would be a waste of time to continue the search, so Captain Aubrey gave his men the order to return: "Ricard, go to the mast and raise the sail for me." Radson, fill the rudder, fill the left rudder, and we'll sail back. ”

The sailboat crossed a semicircle in the water and returned in the direction it had come.

The pious priest Nils began to whisper prayers for the shipwrecked: "May the light of mercy guide your souls, unfortunate travelers......

The rest of the people on deck also took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence for the dead.

After the sailing ships returned to the fleet, under the command of Captain Aubrey, all the ships once again retracted their iron anchors, hoisted their sails, and continued in the direction of the town of South Seas in the north.

……

In Varian's room, the maid Millie brought a basin of warm water to scrub the body of the still unconscious little one.

She put the basin on the ground and undressed the child first.

The child was wearing the most ordinary linen clothes, and after being soaked in the sea for two days, the fabric was a little deformed, and it was not easy to take off the sticky to his body, so Varian, who had nothing to do, also came up to help.

"Yikes!" When she took off her pants, Millie suddenly let out a short exclamation.
