Chapter 605: Accelerating Forward
The ship slowly moves forward with the tide for a day, at a sluggish speed, causing everyone unbearable distress. When would they finally reach their destination? What’s more, according to the reference provided by Ouyang Jin, the rising tide was about to ebb.
Everyone’s stomach growled uncomfortably. Water and fruits alone could not satisfy their hunger. The best solution would be to approach an island and catch some fish.
However, having experienced two islands’ encounters, nobody wanted to set foot on an island again. They hadn’t even left the center of the Triangle Sea Area, who knew what they would encounter on the island.
The sky gradually darkened. Gu Fan observed the celestial signs and frowned. Not only was the sunset coming, but the clouds were also increasing. In other words, there was a high chance they wouldn’t see the moon tonight, and the dreadful mist was about to descend.
Gu Fan hoped he was just being overly cautious. He looked back at Xiao Hu, who also seemed pessimistic.
Gu Fan knew he had to be fully prepared, so he immediately consulted with the captain. He wanted to know how long it would take to reach the nearest island if they start the ship now.
The captain’s answer of "one hour" made Gu Fan ponder. Gu Fan watched the sky as the sun went down, the world was plunged into darkness. For now, they could still see moonlight, but the surrounding clouds were getting denser.
Everyone felt that the mist was likely to come tonight. Gu Fan also realized they couldn’t wait any longer. After discussing with the captain, they quickly agreed on the way forward. They immediately started the engine and headed toward the nearest island.
"Faster. Faster." Gu Fan was anxious. Everyone was anxious. As they watched the moonlight being completely covered by clouds, their hearts pounded.
