Chapter 92 - Hope

Su Mo, hearing Lin Zinuo’s words, turned dark.

What was this girl thinking?

At such a critical time, she still wanted to enjoy the spectacle.

The girls at the scene were listlessly sitting there, just continuing to endure, wondering if the boat could dock or return to Dawn City.

Of course, if they happened to die of exhaustion before that, they could only blame their bad luck.

Zhou Qian watched Lin Zinuo head straight back to the control room, feeling that her behavior was a bit abnormal, she muttered doubtfully to herself.

“How strange!”

“What’s wrong?”

Su Mo looked at Zhou Qian, puzzled.

“Something’s off with Sister Zinuo, I’m going to check on her.”

After saying that, Zhou Qian headed toward the control room.

Su Mo watched this unfold, gave it some thought, and followed her, planning to see what was going on.

He also wanted to discuss with Lin Zinuo, just sitting there waiting for the end was not an option.

Soon, Su Mo and Zhou Qian entered the control room, and they both froze in place.

Lin Zinuo was not behind the control desk; instead, she was hiding in a corner, crouching down, and facing away from them, not knowing what she was doing.

At this moment, Zhou Qian approached and asked doubtfully.

“Sister Zinuo, what are you doing?”

Hearing Zhou Qian’s voice, Lin Zinuo suddenly panicked, dared not turn her head, and with a trembling voice asked.

“Zhou Qian, why did you come in?

Is there something you need?”

“Sister Zinuo, what are you doing?

Are you feeling unwell?”

Zhou Qian asked, very puzzled.

“No, nothing.

You go out first, we’ll talk later if there’s anything.”

Lin Zinuo seemed even more flustered, her words sounding very hollow.

Seeing Lin Zinuo’s behavior, a sudden thought irresistibly surfaced in Su Mo’s mind.

Lin Zinuo couldn’t really have gone that far, could she?

At that moment, Su Mo suddenly felt extremely shocked.

This girl was impressive, she could go to such lengths for survival, he blurted out.

“You didn’t really do that, did you?”

Zhou Qian, standing by, stared with eyes wide open, shocked as she looked at Zinuo.

“Sister Zinuo, you?”

“No, definitely not, I…..”

Lin Zinuo, hearing Su Mo’s words, nearly passed out, but she had to tough it out and explain.

However, her actions only made Zhou Qian more convinced, she reached out to pull Lin Zinuo up, saying earnestly.

“Sister Zinuo, you don’t have to hide it from us, it’s okay.”

Lin Zinuo was almost spitting blood, this Su Mo, his brain had issues, he was killing her.

“Really, there’s nothing wrong, you don’t have to worry about me….”

“Don’t be shy, it’s okay, let me see.”

As Zhou Qian and Lin Zinuo were tugging at each other, Zhou Qian accidentally exerted a bit of force.

Lin Zinuo was pulled to the ground, and a bottle of mineral water popped out from her embrace.

“Sister Zinuo, you…”

Zhou Qian looked at Lin Zinuo with disbelief.

Lin Zinuo scrambled up, quickly reached out and covered Zhou Qian’s mouth.

“Shush!”

“What happened?”

At that moment, Qin Wang and others, hearing the noise, weakly walked in.

Seeing Lin Zinuo covering Zhou Qian’s mouth, they asked in shock.

“What are you all doing?”

“Nothing, we are just playing around”

Lin Zinuo, bewildered, waved her hand holding the mineral water, explaining.

“Mineral water!”

Everyone saw the bottle of water in Zinuo’s hand at first glance and cried out in unison.

Lin Zinuo’s expression froze, her mouth slightly agape, and she thought to herself, “It’s over!

A major social death scene…”

A moment later, Su Mo and fifteen others gathered together in the command room.

Lin Zinuo clasped her hands together, looking very apologetic, and reviewed her actions with everyone, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have hidden a bottle of mineral water and drank it alone, I should have shared it with everyone.”

“Sister Zinuo, no need to say anything else, let’s divide it up, we are about to die of thirst,” Zhou Qian interrupted halfway through her sentence, her tone shifting as she almost spat fire.

Why care about such things at this moment?

The mineral water was originally Zinuo’s anyway.

“Uh, okay then.”

Lin Zinuo reluctantly twisted open the bottle of mineral water.

So, one by one, everyone took a small sip from the bottle of mineral water, each daring not to drink too much.

It was soon Zhou Qian’s turn to drink, she took a small sip, then passed it to Su Mo.

Su Mo accepted the mineral water, looked at the water in his hand, and did not move for a long while.

There was still exactly half a bottle left.

Seeing this, Lin Zinuo and the others thought Su Mo was reluctant to drink, so they persuaded him.

“Go ahead, it’s okay, although it won’t help much, it should at least provide some relief.” Su Mo seemed to be convinced and quietly pulled out a piece of paper from his body and wiped the bottle’s mouth.

Zhou Qian and the other girls went crazy seeing this, feeling an urge to strangle Su Mo.

They hadn’t disdained Su Mo, but instead, he was showing disdain for them.

It was not greatly harmful, but extremely insulting.

“Su Mo!!!”

Su Mo looked up and saw the hostile looks from everyone, his expression slightly unnatural.

He raised the mineral water bottle and took a silent sip.

Just as Su Mo was holding the bottle and drinking, his expression suddenly froze.

“Come on, it’s just water, not poison, you don’t need to look like that,” Zhou Qian said helplessly.

“No, there’s gunfire, listen carefully,” Su Mo said.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, everyone was stunned, and they immediately fell silent and listened intently.

Indeed, they could faintly hear gunfire in the distance.

Lin Zinuo’s expression turned ecstatic, and he exclaimed excitedly.

“It truly is the sound of gunfire!

Moreover, it sounds like it’s coming from land.

We’re saved, let’s get to the shore quickly, let’s disembark!”

“Yes, we’re saved.”

At this moment, everyone was almost overwhelmingly happy, not caring about anything else.

Even if they had to abandon the boat, they would first head to the shore to find food and water.

Su Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “Lin Zinuo, if you don’t take the helm, how are we going to get to shore?”

“Right, I almost forgot in the excitement.”

Lin Zinuo quickly ran to take the helm.

Everyone crowded around as Lin Zinuo nervously approached the ship’s helm, carefully listening to the direction of the gunfire, and turned the wheel, steering the ship towards the sound.

At this time, the fog was still very thick, so essentially, it was more or less like driving blind.

Everyone held their breath, knowing that success or failure depended on this moment.

Under Lin Zinuo’s control, the ship moved steadily forward.

The sounds of gunfire, explosions, and shooting became clearer and clearer, indicating that the battle was fierce!

“Sister Zinuo, where have we arrived?

Why is the fighting so intense here?

We couldn’t have returned to Dawn City, could we?” Zhou Qian asked puzzledly.

“Impossible, I have never seen such a thick fog in Dawn City,” Lin Zinuo firmly denied.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the first thing they saw was a towering lighthouse, though its light was not turned on.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded.

Looking ahead, they saw a huge military port, a plethora of ships coming into view.
