After rowing for more than an hour without a sound, Yang Chen was certain that he had escaped the area of the ship. He heaved a sigh of relief and stopped.
There was a small emergency light on the boat that would give them 48 hours of light.
To save energy, they did not turn on the lights.
Wei Ying did not make a sound either. She was afraid.
It was only when the boat stopped that Wei Ying finally asked with a trembling voice, "Do we not need to row anymore?"
"It's safe for now." Yang said hoarsely, "With the current flow rate and our speed, we've already left the ship over 5 nautical miles. By the time the men on the ship realized it, we were gone. They're not going to sail after us for the sake of the two of us. Furthermore, there is still Miss A Ling on board to delay things for us. "
Wei Ying's face was filled with shame as she said, "Sorry, it's all because of me."
Yang looked at her in astonishment, he didn't understand what this girl meant.
In Yang's mind, it was a very common thing to follow his orders and carry out tasks. What did it have to do with her?
The two of them were silent for a while, then remembered that they were still tied up with important goods.
Yang Yang carefully removed all the things he had on him. Wei Ying also saw that and quickly untied all the things she had on her.
The two of them placed the items in the middle of the boat. Yang Qing counted and said, "The supplies that we have prepared are enough for us to live for a month. But a month from now, we might die on this ocean. We have to rely on this boat to escape and find land within a month. "
Wei Ying asked, trembling, "One month?"
"The ocean is huge." Yang Zhen looked meaningfully at Wei Ying and said, "You can go to sleep now. I'll be on my guard." Wake me up in the middle of the night. You stand guard while I sleep. "
With that, without waiting for Wei Ying's reply, Yang Chen had already started to doze off with his arms crossed.
Wei Ying opened and closed her mouth. She had no choice but to move her body and lie down.
Fortunately, before Yang left, he pulled out a lot of plastic sheets from the warehouse. These discarded plastic sheets finally played a major role here.
Not only could it shield the dewdrops from the cold wind, it could also help them collect freshwater resources such as rainwater.
The moonlight was getting deeper.
The boat drifted with the waves, not knowing where it would appear at daybreak tomorrow.
Wei Ying was having a very restless sleep and woke up within a few hours.
She slowly sat up and said, "Alright, go to sleep. I'll keep watch here."
Yang opened his eyes, glanced at Wei Ying, and nodded. His consciousness quickly relaxed, and soon fell asleep.
Wei Ying stared blankly at Yang's silhouette in the darkness. Only now did she realize that this Yang seemed to be no bigger than her.
The ski
y body of the youth, however, was filled with vigorous energy.
Unknowingly, the sky turned white.
Only then did Wei Ying come back to her senses. She had actually stared at this youth for many hours.
The moment the sky brightened, Yang immediately opened his eyes, meeting Wei Ying's embarrassed gaze.
"Well, aren't you cold?" Wei Ying was at a loss for words.
"Not cold." Yang replied indifferently.
Wei Ying sneaked a glance at Yang and found that he didn't seem unhappy at all. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
Yang quickly determined the surrounding environment, as well as a large ship the size of a small dot, and quickly determined his direction.
He took out a simple hand-drawn map and looked at it for a while before saying to Wei Ying, "Let's row in this direction. The large ship over there is our reference." We can't take our eyes off that big ship. The ship eats too much water to easily change direction. "We'll head in the opposite direction. If we don't have any special circumstances, we'll be on land in 20 days!"
Wei Ying said in shock, "Even without special circumstances, we still need twenty days?"
"Yes, I drifted too far last night." Yang replied.
Since it was night and the lights were not turned on, the two of them ran for too long in a panic. Moreover, they didn't know how fast the water would flow, so they ran too far away.
If he wanted to row back, he would have to put in a lot of effort.
After looking at the prepared food and water, Wei Ying finally felt a bit more confident.
Since she didn't die on the ship, she would definitely escape back!
Wei Ying decided to have a good chat with the other party and liven up the atmosphere. After all, they were companions in exile together!
Wei Ying asked, "About that, is your name Yang?"
"Yes." Yang's attitude was very cold.
"How old are you, then?" Wei Ying asked.
"Eighteen." Yang replied.
Indeed, he was not much older than him.
Wei Ying couldn't help but ask, "You're so young, why would you do such a thing?"
Yang looked at Wei Ying in astonishment, and immediately understood what she meant.
Yang's eyes were full of mockery as he said, "You really are an ignorant young miss."
Wei Ying's face turned red all of a sudden. "I'm not, I'm not."
Yang was silent for a moment, then said, "Not everyone will be as lucky as you."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Wei Ying felt extremely wronged, but she also understood that she had said the wrong thing.
"I've been like this since I can remember." Yang's eyes were a little dazed as he said, "I don't know what I was like when I was young either. Ever since I was very young, I've been training nonstop. If I don't pass the training, I'll die. I wanted to live, so I trained with all my might, and in the end I became a member of the direct line of descent under Mr. Shen Yuan's command, completing various missions specifically for him. For example, to save you. "
Wei Ying apologized in a low voice, "Sorry, and, thank you."
Yang continued, "There's nothing to thank, this was my mission in the first place."
With that, Yang turned around and ignored Wei Ying.
Wei Ying fawningly picked up the food and passed it to him, "Are you hungry? Eat something, you haven't had a good rest since last night. "
Only then did Yang Chen take a glance at Wei Ying and accepted the food from her.
Because they had to deal with a sudden situation, they did not dare to eat their food carelessly. They could only split their food into countless small portions, and each meal could only be eaten in a small amount to maintain the lowest physical needs.
After eating, Yang asked, "Do you know how to row?"
"I will!" Wei Ying hurriedly nodded. "Let me row!"
Yang turned the boat around, adjusted its direction, and pointed at the big boat in the distance, "You must always have this big boat on your right, and then row forward, paddling hard. Do you understand? "
Wei Ying nodded proudly: "I'll definitely work hard!"
After he finished speaking, the strange feeling between the two boys and girls gradually disappeared.
But at this time, A Ling, who had managed to buy time for Wei Ying and Yang, was not doing well.
