Chapter 98: Chapter 98 bad news

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Unknowingly, they had been sailing for three days.

In these three days, apart from encountering the fog on the first day of sailing, they had not encountered any other strange scenes.

Early in the morning, after they had eaten the stored food, they carried small stools and sat on the deck. They looked at the calm sea and felt the slight sea breeze blowing on their faces.

They looked at their companions beside them and felt a sense of satisfaction and warmth.

Chang Yuan sighed in his heart. He only hoped that this kind of time would last a little longer.

Because Chang Yuan knew that beautiful things were often short-lived.

Beside them, Qiao Yuran had been looking at the sea. There seemed to be anticipation in her eyes. When she saw some movement on the sea by the side of the ship, she immediately stood up and shouted at the few of them, “Look, it’s the Big Guy!”

When she said this, the few of them, who were in a good mood, immediately became nervous.

Wouldn’t it be great if the Big Guy came back?

That was something that could easily kill them.

The few of them looked nervously in the direction that Qiao Yuran pointed.

Waves rose on the surface of the sea for no reason. Groups of them were like rolling scales.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a school of flying fish that had passed by. It was not some deep-sea behemoth that had appeared.

It was a false alarm.

“Wow, so it’s not a big one. What a Downer!”Qiao Yuran said dejectedly.

Chang Yuan and the others did not bother with her anymore. Ever since the first time the deep-sea Behemoth had responded to Qiao Yuran, this little girl was no longer afraid of the sea. Instead, she had been looking forward to it every day, she could see the appearance of the deep-sea beast again.

However, every time Qiao Yuran shouted for the Big Guy to come, it made their hearts tighten.

Ah Feng took the helm at the side and controlled the direction of the ship. After a false alarm, he teased, “I say, Sister Yuran, can you look forward to our good times? Every day, you actually create something that makes people panic!”

“HMPH, what do you know? Everyone is not a bad person!”

Qiao Yuran’s insistent answer made the few of them look helpless. They could only laugh quietly.

After all, among the six people on the ship, only Qiao Yuran was the youngest. There was nothing wrong with humbly giving in to her.

Tong Wei’s brows were a little worried. Just as the few of them were on the deck, she opened her mouth and said to the few of them, “There’s a bad news, I have to tell you!”

“Bad News? What Bad News?”

Chang Yuan frowned. On the ship, everyone had a clear division of labor. Tong Wei was in charge of logistics, which was to say, handling food.

When Tong Wei said that, Chang Yuan realized that it might have something to do with food.

“Bad News? It can’t be that there’s not enough food, right? We prepared half a month’s worth of food before we boarded the ship!”Zhuo Qianqian was also puzzled, when she remembered that Tong Wei was in charge of logistics, she naturally thought of this.

However, Tong Wei slowly shook her head. “Perhaps it’s even worse than the fact that there’s a shortage of food!”

Auntie Wang was also puzzled. Nothing had happened in the past few days. It was just that there were some twists and turns on the first day. How could there be bad news out of the Blue? “AH? What kind of bad news is it?”

Tong Wei let out a long sigh and said seriously to the few of them, “The food we prepared is sufficient, but as for fresh water…”

“There are only two days of fresh water left!”

Hearing this, Chang Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

People could live for a long time without eating, but if they didn’t drink water, they would die in a few days.

Don’t think that there was water everywhere on the sea, but this was seawater. People would die faster after drinking seawater.

“Really? What should we do? Without fresh water, it’s probably impossible for us to return to the mainland. We still have two weeks to go!”Zhuo Qianqian analyzed calmly.

Auntie Wang also frowned. “Yeah, we can’t not drink water. People will get sick in two or three days!”

Usually, women would complain first when they encountered a problem.

This made her very unhappy.

Chang Yuan looked at the few of them chattering and saying disheartening words. He was very unconcerned, but he did not show it.

Ah Feng, who was at the helm, naturally heard the conversation and said casually, “If you don’t have enough fresh water, then save some for drinking. I don’t believe that it won’t rain in these two weeks!”

“This is the sea, and the weather is extremely unstable!”Ah Feng said as he looked up at the weather. The sky was clear, and the weather was very good. Then, he said, “Even if it doesn’t rain, there are still fruits! Eating fruits to replenish nutrients is enough!”

However, Tong Wei had already thought of what Ah Feng could think of. Otherwise, as a logistics staff, she wouldn’t have reported the problem at this time.

“We didn’t bring any fruits onto the ship. Moreover, there weren’t many sour fruits on the ship to begin with. I reckon we can only eat them for a week before they’re gone!”

Faced with Tong Wei’s words, the few of them fell into deep thought.

“Don’t we still have two days of fresh water? Why are we thinking about this now? There will be a way to get to the top of the mountain. Who knows, if we don’t have fresh water, the heavens might rain on us!”

Qiao Yuran was very optimistic.

Qiao Yuran, who was the youngest, was indeed a big star. Her words were always out of line with her life. She was used to living a life where she could do whatever she wanted. Every problem was waiting for others to solve.

Chang Yuan frowned. Their discussion was only a complaint. It seemed that this problem still needed to be solved by himself.

The problem of freshwater was a problem that had to be faced. It was even more important than fixing mobile phones and preventing pirates.

Sitting on the deck, Chang Yuan silently pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of a pile of wood blocks and a few iron boards on the side of the deck. They should have been salvaged by the barbarians from the sea and placed on the deck.

As a geek, seeing that these things were trash in the eyes of others could be turned into treasures in his own eyes, he could always find a use for them!

“I have an idea!”

While they were complaining, Chang Yuan suddenly said this.

Auntie Wang could not help but look over. “You have an idea? You mean you can solve the freshwater problem?”

Chang Yuan nodded.

The few of them were very puzzled. This was the sea, not your home office. If you wanted to drink water, you could just call and send a bucket of water.

How to solve it?

The few of them were very curious. What solution did Chang Yuan have? Because Chang Yuan often brought them some incredible things, such as fixing their phones! Therefore, they looked at Chang Yuan with interest.

“Help me bring this iron plate over and make it look like a square iron stove!”Chang Yuan instructed Ah Feng.
