Chapter 192: Dawn
It's half an hour now, but the sun overhead is still as flat as the moon in the water, but at least the light has brightened to make a difference.
"Gollum."
Zhang Qian's stomach has been screaming like this a few times, but she still doesn't want to admit defeat and persists. However, judging from her hunched back and her paddling movements, her physical strength has reached the limit, and I can't stop saying, "Okay, can't I admit defeat?" Sooner or later, something will happen to you, so let's stop and rest, shall we? ”
"Hehe, are you convinced? I'll tell you that I've never conceded defeat to anyone since I've grown so old. Zhang Qian was relieved and wiped the sweat stains like dewdrops and said.
"Yes, you haven't lost, but I don't know who used to cry because they couldn't go up the parallel bars!" I quipped.
"Really? How come I don't remember? ”
Zhang Qian didn't admit it, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank it happily, and then took out half a pack of biscuits left over from yesterday and ate it with relish.
"You don't remember much! And that time you said that you want to lose weight for a month, but you gave up within three days! To justify myself, I can't actually see that I'm so fat! ”
As I spoke, I reminisced, remembering that Satsuki was still a nightmare in my heart at that time, that house was a forbidden place I didn't want to set foot in, and now that time has passed, I really want to go back to the past.
Zhang Qian also smiled from ear to ear, I don't know if she is now reminiscing about the past like me, but I feel like she has forgotten many things.
"Where have you been these days? How did you get kidnapped by them? What about Director Zhang? "I asked a few questions one after another.
"Oh, I can't remember how I was knocked unconscious by them in the corpse forest, and then I woke up and I was on the boat." Zhang Qian said lightly.
"Is the person who kidnapped you wearing a black mask? Wearing a big black robe? ”
I then asked, and Zhang Qian exclaimed, "Wow, how do you know?" "Zhang Qian
This answer was even more certain that the group of people on the boat were the Great Dharma Protectors, and I continued: "You don't care about this, you told me that it was they who picked up Director Zhang?" ”
"I don't know, I was killed before I was halfway there."
Zhang Qian said and pinched a biscuit with her white fingers, brought it to my mouth and asked, "Don't you want to eat some?" I know we're short of food right now, but if you don't eat all the time, you're going to starve! ”
I took it with a smile and shoved it into my thirsty mouth with my hand, chewing it a bit like sand being swallowed by me with difficulty.
This move made Zhang Qian cover her mouth and laugh: "Come to this water, you can drink some of it." ”
I gave her back most of the biscuits, and said, "No, I'm a corpse now." ”
I didn't explain later, I just hoped she could understand, and I hoped she wouldn't, because I didn't know how she would react when she knew that I was no longer a normal person!
"Poets? The first time I've heard that poets don't need to eat, write me a poem now! ”
She really didn't understand what I meant, she hunched over with a smile, and suddenly coughed a few more times, and her fair face was flushed.
I knew that she was choking on her trachea by food, so I patted her on the back and said, "You better take care of yourself, you can't eat anything to adults." ”
After a while, she returned to normal, her mouth was still stained with some biscuit residues, and she was holding back tears, and she still defended: "You said that you became a poet, but I didn't say it, I think you just didn't have the heart to choke me to death." ”
I glanced at her and looked into the distance, only to see a looming black dot appear in the distance where the sky and water met. My eyes lit up with hope, because I knew that if it weren't for the hallucinations, it would have been land.
Zhang Qian also noticed my strange eyes, and when she turned around, she exclaimed: "Look, the mainland! ”
"Yes, we have hope."
I couldn't hide the ecstasy in my heart and nodded vigorously, because anyway we could find the continent than floating on the water, and if there were people up there, we would be able to borrow some gasoline from her and go home.
Now we are all very excited, Zhang Qian unscrewed the mineral water bottle and hurriedly took a sip, then wiped her mouth and sat down in the position just now and said: "Let's work harder to dare to go before dark, so as not to lose the target at night." ”
She was right, we had to get there before dark, or the boat would drift all night.
This time, we have a goal, and we are all very energetic, but Zhang Qian is a girl after all, and she doesn't have a mutated system like me. It was just noon, and she couldn't hold on to it before she reached a third of the way.
I finally decided to abandon the motorboat and put the only orange life raft on board into the water, and finally moved all the food and a sniper rifle on the boat to the life raft.
Now it's a lot faster than that bulky dinghy, and the biggest advantage is that I can hold the boat alone when Zhang Qian is tired. This will not delay us and will make sure we get as close to the land as possible before dark.
The water here feels very heavy, a bit like juice, but the whole color is transparent, no different from water, I'm not sure if this thing belongs to water, but I don't think it should be able to drink normally like water.
"You save that water, I'm afraid we won't find anything to feed us there."
Looking at the excited look on Zhang Qian's face, I couldn't help but remind her, so that she could be prepared in her heart so as not to hit her with sudden despair.
Of course, I also have the same uneasiness in my heart, not only from me personally, but also from Zhang Qian next to me. Because I feel that as long as Satsuki is alive, it is only a matter of time before Satsuki finds me with her abilities, and I don't need to eat and wait for when.
But Zhang Qian in front of her couldn't wait so long, because she was a normal person and needed to eat three meals a day. And we have limited food, so it is my duty and obligation to take her out safely before the only food we have is gone. But it's not so easy! In the unknown world, my knowledge is limited, and this uneasiness follows.
"Why? Aren't we already about to land? ”
Zhang Qian obviously didn't know that she was now in another world, maybe in her mind, even if there was no one on the island, we could catch shrimp and fish in the water to satisfy our hunger.
"You're right to listen to me, it's hard for me to say where we're now."
I didn't give him a clear answer, because I also had a glimmer of life for the black spot, and I would like to believe that it was a bustling city and that we were just lost.
