Chapter 91 - Solutions

“Stop shouting, I’m not dead yet?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind everyone.

“Oh my God!

A ghost!”

Lin Zinuo and the others immediately clung to each other, screaming in extreme terror.

“I’m, not, dead, yet!”

At this moment, Su Mo was soaking wet, cold, and hungry, lacking the energy even to speak.

“If you’re not a ghost, how did you get up here?”

Zhou Qian asked cautiously.

“Over there, isn’t that your anchor?

I climbed up the chain.”

Su Mo was speechless.

“Really?

You’re really not dead!

Haha!

That’s great.”

Lin Zinuo and the others walked over and poked Su Mo.

Upon realizing he was indeed alive, they burst into joyful laughter.

Only Su Mo looked at them with a disdainful expression on his face.

Sensing Su Mo’s unusual gaze, Lin Zinuo and the others quickly adjusted their attitude, asking with concern,

“Great hero, are you alright?

Is anything bothering you, we can check for you.”

“What?

Disdain?”

Zhou Qian saw Su Mo’s reaction and couldn’t help but tease him, pressing her advantage in jest.

“Ah, I’m fine, I just need to rest for a bit.

Don’t worry about me, this sea area is not safe, we need to leave quickly!”

Su Mo shook his head slightly.

It was at this moment Lin Zinuo realized that their ship had stopped moving, and she quickly shouted to Qin Wang,

“Qin Wang, hurry and raise the anchor.

Check to see if the ship has suffered any damage.”

“Okay, I’m on it.”

Qin Wang hurried toward the ship’s anchor controls.

He didn’t want to stay in this area of the sea any longer.

When he had woken up, he had seen those tentacles and was almost scared out of his wits.

Three days later, a battered ship sailed through the fog.

Fortunately, the previous battle had not seriously damaged the power system, and after some temporary repairs, the ship was back to normal.

But Su Mo and the others faced a severe crisis.

Their food and water supply had run out, and nobody knew how Lin Zinuo was navigating; they had originally estimated they’d return to Dawn City in a day’s journey.

Instead, they had been circling in the fog, unable to find the shore.

Su Mo, Zhou Qian, and the others lay on the deck, hungry and thirsty, some even beginning to show mild signs of dehydration.

“I never thought we’d survive the monster only to die of hunger and thirst at sea.

It’s really so sad!

And to think I once dreamed of being a hero admired by thousands.”

Zhou Qian was really unwilling to accept this fate, complaining feebly.

“Yeah!

I also dreamed of making it big and finding a handsome boyfriend.”

Gao Mei beside her also fell into her own hopeful fantasies.

The others, too, facing the prospect of death, began to dream of the dreams they had chased.

“Say less, it will save some energy, and you might live a little longer.”

Su Mo whispered back, his eyes closed, flatly breaking the gloomy atmosphere.

The truth was, his own condition was not much better.

“Hey, Su Mo, think of something; otherwise, we’re really going to die of thirst.”

Zhou Qian was becoming delirious.

Su Mo slowly opened his eyes; in this vast ocean, what could he do?

Moreover, the pollution in the sea was worse than he had imagined.

Even if they caught some kind of creature, they wouldn’t dare to eat it carelessly.

However, after being silent for a while, Su Mo still spoke to Zhou Qian, “I do have one method, but…”

“What method?”

Those who were on the brink of death, like Zhou Qian and others, in that moment all sat up spiritedly, looking at Su Mo with eyes full of longing, as if seeing a new hope.

After all, Su Mo had been quite reliable so far.

Su Mo then showed a rare expression of hesitation.

“Come on, don’t hide it, we’re almost dead already,”

Zhou Qian and the other girls couldn’t hold back and asked.

Finally, Su Mo spoke, “I once played a survival game in the wilderness, and there was a survival technique that might work.”

“What technique?”

Zhou Qian and the others were even more excited.

“It’s drinking your own urine to alleviate thirst—it might work here too,”

Su Mo finally said.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Zhou Qian and the others immediately exploded in protest, Zhou Qian crossed her arms, displaying a resolute expression.

“Stop!

I’d rather die than do it, I’d rather die of thirst than do that!”

“Nor do we, it’s too disgusting…..”

The expressions of the other girls collapsed as well, and they all voiced their refusal.

Qin Wang and the other boys next to them were dumbstruck, shaking their heads like bobbleheads.

However, they silently gave Su Mo a thumbs up.

“You’re ruthless!”

At this time, Lin Zinuo, who heard the commotion and came out weakly from the operation room, looked at Su Mo and asked.

“What are you all doing?”

Zhou Qian perked up and replied, “We were discussing ways to save ourselves, and Su Mo said he had an idea.”

“Really, what idea?”

Lin Zinuo also became excited and hurried over to ask.

The others, however, all looked somewhat awkward and no one spoke up.

“Come on, spit it out, don’t dilly-dally.”

Lin Zinuo became anxious, wondering why they wouldn’t share a good idea.

“Sister Zinuo, let’s just forget it,”

Zhou Qian replied with an embarrassed look, struggling to even voice it.

“What do you mean forget it?

If there’s nothing unspeakable, just say it quickly, let me weigh in on it too,”

Lin Zinuo, seeing everyone hedge, grew even more curious and kept pressing for an answer.

In the end, Zhou Qian had no choice but to whisper a few words into Lin Zinuo’s ear.

After hearing it, Lin Zinuo’s cheeks immediately turned a bit red, then she vehemently voiced her stance.

“Are you out of your mind?

No, no way!

Over my dead body—I’d rather die of thirst than do that.”

Su Mo spoke with a parched voice and lack of energy, “I just suggested it, I didn’t say we had to do it, no need for such an intense reaction, right?”

Just then.

Whoosh!

Zhou Qian and the others all directed their gaze at Su Mo, looking at him with a mix of admiration.

“What are you looking at me for?”

Su Mo too felt somewhat prickled by their stares.

“We really admire you,”

Zhou Qian and a few others said with a strange look, thinking to themselves that since Su Mo suggested such an idea, he must really be up for doing it.

Indeed, a true master is not only stronger in combat but also has a greater psychological endurance.

Suddenly, Su Mo realized what they were thinking and said helplessly, “Don’t get ahead of yourselves; I was just discussing it with you.

I’m not really going to do it.

It’s just a game, we’re not really going to die, I still have some principles.”

“Tsk!

How boring, disperse, I’m heading back to the command room.”

Lin Zinuo immediately looked a bit disappointed, she had actually been curious to see if Su Mo would demonstrate for them.
