Shalin asked her bluntly, and although it seemed a little impersonal, it was better than wasting time on useless polite words.

But he didn't mean to express this estrangement, it's just that drifting on the sea for a long time has formed an aura similar to that of the living, and he still needs a little time to get used to normal communication with other humans.

Fortunately, the woman didn't care, just smiled slightly awkwardly.

"Thank you for saving me, my name is Omina, what about you?"

“...... Gas. ”

"Gas, that's not a normal name. ”

"Who cares about that, I think it's a pretty nice name, but before I say anything else, I want to ask you a question, do you know which direction is the closest land to this sea?"

"Maybe you'll know the direction of the free city-state, too?"

Shalin hadn't intended to tell anyone his real name in the first place, he had decided before he had even decided what his future path would be, and now he faced Omina and asked him what he was most concerned about.

"What?"

Omina visibly froze, obviously not expecting the man to ask such a question.

She noticed again what Sarin was wearing, and what was on the old dinghy, including a rain collector, dried fish drying on the engine, and strange handicrafts.

An immature inference was formed in Omina's brain.

"You ......"

"Have you been adrift at sea for a long time?"

"Are you a shipwreck, and you haven't encountered a human in a long time?"

Omina was visibly surprised, her eyes rolling, and she looked at him a little differently when she spoke with a strange accent when she contacted Shalin.

Although she did not directly debunk Shalin's intention to illegally enter the Free City-State, and the communication between people is usually not so straightforward, but it is difficult to deceive the eyes, and as a citizen of the Free City-State, Omina is not so kind to the illegal immigrants.

It's just that now that she's in the same boat as Sarin, she knows what not to say.

Shalin acquiesced to Omina's words and continued to ask her.

"Do you know where to go so we can see the land?"

"In which direction was your ship planned to go?"

Shalin asked her a little impatiently, and after guessing that Shalin planned to smuggle into the Free City-State, a hint of cunning flashed in Omina's eyes, and she couldn't help but think about it.

At the same time, she pulled out a spherical transparent necklace.

"I don't know when we'll see land, but if we keep going in the direction we're going now, we'll be able to unlock the achievement of traveling around the Planet in about two years. ”

Shalin didn't have much hope of going ashore, but after hearing Omina's confident statement, Shalin realized that things had a turn for the better.

He calmed the can, turned around and saw the compass floating in the transparent spherical glass in the woman's hand, and was instantly excited.

"You even have a compass with you!"

"By the way, you're still in uniform, you're a staff member on that ship, aren't you?"

"That's great, you know how we need to go!"

Shalin hugged Omina excitedly and cheered, forgetting for a moment what difference between men and women and gentlemanly manners, only thinking that he could finally start the next stage of his journey.

Feeling Omina's body stiff, Shalin hurriedly let go of the woman.

"Sorry, I'm so excited. ”

"It's okay, I can understand your feelings very well, it must be not easy to wander alone at sea for so long, right?"

The muscles in Omina's face twitched twice, trying to recover into a kind and compassionate girl.

It's just that her skin and smile are completely seen by Shalin, although he doesn't care about Omina's reaction, but he is always a little uncomfortable in his heart, and slowly reverts to an indifferent attitude.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. ”

"But since you're a crew member, I'll leave the navigation to you, and I'm guessing you'd like to get ashore early, too. ”

"Of course, as long as we drive in the right direction, we will soon see the free city-state. ”

"And now we just need to ...... Turn the bow 57 degrees west and go full speed ahead!"

Omina smiled and commanded, looking as confident as the captain of this assault boat.

At the same time, as Sarin turned the bow of the boat and rowed hard, Omina quietly pulled out her phone and searched for public network signals nearby.

Unfortunately, her mobile phone could not find a signal, and although the public signal base stations in the free city-state were well built, there was still no way to search the network outside the high seas.

The assault boat quickly moved in the direction indicated by Omina, and Sarin was full of energy, in order to reach the land as soon as possible, Sarin even asked Canned to go into the sea and pull the assault boat together.

He didn't have any doubts about the direction Omina pointed out, even though they had only known each other for half a day, and for Sharin, who was desperate to return to human society, as long as he could make it to the shore, nothing else mattered.

Shalin wasn't even in the mood to chat with Omina, even though the woman in the water kept her eyes sweeping over him, as if she had a lot to ask.

There was silence on the assault boat for a long time, and finally the woman couldn't bear the loneliness first.

"Hey, Mr. Gas, can you tell me why you've been drifting at sea for so long, and you didn't have a compass or electronic navigation with you when you went out to sea?"

"It's none of your business. ”

Shalin said with a frown, not even raising his gaze to look at the woman.

Omina also clearly felt that when she asked this question, the face of the man in front of her instantly turned dark, as if he had said something taboo.

But the more Shalin was like this, the more she wanted to know the origin of this man with a face full of spots, which had a lot to do with whether she could reduce her financial losses after she went ashore, so she continued to ask.

"Then which region are you from, was the destination of this trip to the sea a free city-state from the beginning, and what did you do before?"

"Asr Union. ”

Shalin blurted out without much thought, and Omina's face changed dramatically in an instant, and her expression was even ten thousand times more wonderful than when she first saw Shalin's face covered with birthmarks.

She suddenly jumped into the sea, grabbing only the alloy handrails on either side of the assault boat with her hands.

Shalin doesn't know what happened to Omina yet, and he tries to get the woman out of the water, but Omina keeps dodging Shalin's hands and keeps screaming.

"No, don't touch me!"

"Don't pull me with your radiation-stained hands, oh my God, why didn't you tell me sooner that you came out of the Asr Alliance!"

"You've got radiation on you!"

"Bastard, you must have done it on purpose, you're going to kill me!"
