Chapter 26: The Food Dilemma

"If the type of this place is Forest Island, does it mean that we are trapped here?" Catherine looked at the sea not far below the ship from the floating ship that had stabilized and asked: "This place should not be within the scope of the offshore route, I'm afraid there will be no passing ships passing nearby, after all, in the end, we have to swim through these five kilometers, and then go to the nearby city of the Sea Country to find rescue." ”

"Actually, it's not so troublesome, according to the estimated itinerary, we should arrive in the city of a thousand islands tomorrow in the evening. The association will generally set aside a one-day error, that is, if the port of call in the city of the Thousand Islands does not see the Jeff by the day after tomorrow, it will assume that the Jeff is in trouble, and at that time they will send a search team to search all the way along the route, and at the same time, they will also send a message to Sennaya through the air ray, and Sennaya will send a team into the western wasteland to search. The captain was very calm at this time, and said calmly, "So let's light a bonfire on the beach, make a pillar of smoke for help, and make sure it lasts." If we are only five kilometers away from the sea, the search team will definitely be able to see it, and we can easily get rescue. The only trouble is that all the passengers have to stay here for a while, and if you count the time for the search team to arrive here, it is estimated that it will be over in more than ten days. ”

"Ten days, it's time. Catherine nodded: "The problem is that there is so much food on the ship? I remember that you will replenish a batch of food every time you dock, that is to say, because of the weight of the ship, you can't carry too much food? More than a hundred passengers, plus the service staff on the ship, at least two hundred people, is there enough food?"

"This is the biggest problem, there is only five days' worth of food on board. The captain smiled bitterly and said, "Although the food is enough to support the search team to find us, I am afraid that it will give the passengers a bad impression." Those people have a great influence in the business circle, and if they really have a bad impression, then the association will suffer great losses and accusations. ”

"So what?" asked Catherine, "Captain, you said that we should find a way to solve it." ”

"Yes, I'd like a few people to help. The captain did not hide his intentions: "The demonic beasts on the island can't deal with it with the strength of these low-level mages and technicians on the ship, but with the strength of a few people, they can do it easily." So I hope that a few of you can hunt some Warcraft every day as a supplement to the ingredients, so that you can get through this difficult time without food control. Although there will be a shortage of non-essential items such as alcohol and juice in the future, after all, it is during the air crash, and this small problem is understandable for passengers. ”

"Is there enough water?" interjected Freya, "Drinking water is more important than food." ”

"It's easy to add clean water to your drinking water quota. The captain explained very experiencedly: "As for cleaning, we are on the seaside, and we can use it for bathing and use after obtaining some or simply purifying it." So water is not the problem, the key is food. ”

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, and it doesn't take more than ten days. Pannis walked over slowly and said, "I have a way to call the nearby Sea Clans, and I will directly ask them to go to the Thousand Islands City to deliver the message, and then ask your association to mobilize a few clippers from the nearby Sea Country cities to pick up the passengers." The speed of the sea tribe in the sea is several times the speed of land creatures on land, here to the city of a thousand islands, it is estimated that it will arrive in a day and night, counting the rescue to come, it will not take more than five days at most. ”

"Can you contact the Shanghai Clan? That's a great help. The captain was stunned for a moment, and said with a happy face: "If this is the case, all problems will be solved." Thank you so much, I'm going to trouble you this time. ”

"It's nothing, I don't want to be a hunter and nanny on a desert island for more than ten days. Pannis shrugged and said, "I'll get in touch now, and you'll wait for me here." ”

"Come back. Lina didn't know when she brought her eyes again, holding a large book that was thicker than the diameter of her wrist, and said expressionlessly: "People with broken intestines will honestly lie on the ground and receive treatment, what is there to wait until the treatment is over, what's the matter with running around?"

"Well, my intestines aren't broken, they're just broken. Pannis clutched his stomach and said, "Don't curse me, I'll really break it." ”

"It's not broken yet. Lina snorted coldly, and said more viciously than anyone else: "But I guess you will really break off if you pretend to be okay a few more times, so I can't be considered a curse, just a prediction of the inevitable problem." ”

"Hey, it's not a curse if it's already happening. Pannis smiled bitterly and surrendered, "Okay, I was wrong, I'll contact the Sea Clan later, now I beg you, oh no, ask the great Lina Sage to heal me." ”

"Hmph. Lina pushed her glasses and said with satisfaction: "Sit down on the recliner, the treatment will be over for about twenty minutes." ”

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Pannis. When Pannis lay down on the chaise longue, the old captain took off his hat very formally and thanked him seriously: "If it weren't for your discovery, not only would the floating ship be stolen, but River would also have been saddled with a clear stigma, and his family would not have received a high pension as it is now." ”

"Don't thank me. Half-lying down, Pannis said, "I didn't expect it to come to this, after all, I'm just hostile to that corpse." ”

"If possible, could Mr. Pannis elaborate on it with me? The captain said solemnly: "This way I can report to the association more clearly." ”

"Well, we'd like to know, too. Catherine also chimed in: "Although the process has been guessed, but after all, it is just a guess, and I still want to confirm some details of the process, so you can talk about it." ”

"Actually, I was really lucky this time, if it wasn't for the scream of the female tourist at the beginning, I'm afraid he would have succeeded. Pannis didn't refuse, and explained in detail: "I don't know what the name of that dry corpse is, do you remember the temple I mentioned earlier? I collided with him in the temple, and the three of them lost the battle with us, and escaped in some unique way, and we couldn't hunt them down in our situation at the time." I thought that they would be banished to the other world with the temple, but I didn't expect that they had already escaped from the confines of the temple in advance and lurked in the world of Yara. ”

"When I heard the female tourist describe what she saw, I didn't think it was him. "But in retrospect, it must have been a coincidence that his influence was captured by the Wall of Memories, and it must have been replayed in front of the eyes of the female tourists." Although I didn't know about his existence yet, a wise undead was enough to get my attention. ”

"It's because I pay attention to it that I look around that night at the hot spring inn. Peniston paused, shook his head, and said, "It's not that I'm looking at a particular target, I'm worried about what's going to happen." ”

"It turned out that my fears were right, it was supposed to be mixed in with the tourists, and he was still in his original form, which was the kind of dried corpse at the time. When he was in the hotel, he also found me, so he avoided it in time, but unfortunately he didn't know, and his similar back, we see each other almost every day, if you see it, you will pay attention, but it has not been associated with it for a while. ”

"But when we went up to the deck this morning to meet River, I smelled a little medicine from him, and the color of his skin was very different from the day before. Although I don't know exactly what the smell is, judging from the several ingredients I have distinguished, those drugs will definitely not be used for treatment, so I have been observing him with suspicion today. However, his disguise is perfect, and even the small details of the target are disguised. According to my estimate, he probably devoured River's soul directly, and the memories he got from his soul were the only way to avoid being discovered by a few people close to him, and the old captain should be one of them. ”

"It wasn't until Vivien was about to return to the cabin and the wind was blowing from behind me that I understood why that back felt familiar. Of course, that back would definitely not have been left by Vivian, because she was with us at the time, and the first thing I thought of was them besides Vivian, and I only knew that they had similar backs. The drugs that I smelled before synthesis were not for treatment, and the strangeness of River I noticed, I could basically guess what was going on. ”

"This is probably what he planned a long time ago, replace River and sneak into the ship, and then start grabbing the ship at some point, the news your association got should be true, and there are indeed people who have the idea of playing a floating boat. ”

"That's pretty much it, it's certain that River was also a victim, and that he was supposed to be killed on the night of the Sennaya dock. Overall, you can give back to the Guild, Captain, and although the ship suffered some damage, you managed to thwart the enemy's plot to seize the ship, and through your efforts to save the float from crashing, and finally cleared the name of River and your guild. With these three merits, I am afraid that not only will you not be blamed, but you will also be rewarded. ”

"I don't want to give awards or anything. The captain shook his head and said, "I only hope now that there is still a chance to fly into the sky again with this child, and that is enough." ”

"Alright, the treatment is done. Lina suddenly patted Pannis on the stomach: "It's a lot faster than I expected, it seems that your intestines won't break anytime soon." ”

"Is it really okay for me to see that look of regret?" said Pannis, squinting, "How much do you wish I had my intestines broken?" ”

"Let's get in touch with the Sea Clan. Catherine waved her hand and began to chase people: "We will also go back to the warehouse and wait for you first." Captain, I'm sorry, we want to go back and rest for a while and get back in touch in the evening. ”

"Please. The captain nodded: "In any case, I would like to thank you in the end." (To be continued.) )
