Chapter 587: The Sudden Waves
That night, those in charge of standing watch were on duty, those responsible for repairing the ship worked on the repairs, and those who needed rest took time to rest. Everyone did their part orderly. But the loud snoring from some made it less peaceful for everyone trying to get some shut-eye.
Yet, as morning arrived, the first thing on Gu Fan’s mind was whether the ship had been fully repaired. He didn’t want to be caught before they could escape from the pirates.
The crew had worked on the ship all day without finding any problems. This left them equally puzzled and disheartened. They even began to miss their old cargo ship.
"What should we do then? We can’t possibly row our way out," they all panicked and the dehydration was becoming unbearable, they haven’t had access to drinkable water for too long.
Food and water were crucial issues and Gu Fan grew anxious. He looked over at the captain, seeking his advice.
Helplessly, the captain admitted that their current predicament seemed to offer no immediate resolution to their lack of resources. They couldn’t hold out hope for another ship passing by either, since they were in the heart of the Triangle Sea Area. Any normal ship wouldn’t dare to come close. If a ship did appear, it would likely belong to pirates or even the otherworldly vessel they’d seen in the mist.
At this moment, Ouyang Jin gave a confident smile, "There’s still a way, but it is a gamble. Are you willing to take it?"
Upon hearing this, their faces brightened with hope, especially Du Jun. He almost took Ouyang Jin’s hand and sincerely told him, "Xiao Ou, we’re counting on you."
If we’re talking about sailing experience, the captain and the crew had the most. If it’s understanding about the Triangle Sea Area mist and the rumours, that would be Xiaohu. But when it came to knowledge about the islands in the Triangle Sea Area, that really was Ouyang Jin’s forte.
