As time approaches noon, it is the hottest time of the day. Although we are hiding in the awning, we still feel the heat and the wind blowing in is warm.

The most frustrating thing is that we are almost naked, and the skin directly exposed to the outside becomes sticky due to sweat.

In order to reduce the risk of water loss and heat stroke caused by sweating, we simply jump into the sea, grab the rope on the edge of the speedboat and drift with the waves.

Although the air above the sea is still hot, it is extremely cool to soak in the sea water. The vast sea surface easily disperses the heat of the sun.

We even dived our heads into the water and soaked our bodies.

We didn't want to get up after soaking in the water. It was so comfortable. This was a rare moment in the day that made us forget hunger and thirst.

Everyone's mental state was also very good, which may be related to eating soaked raisins.

After all, we replenished enough sugar, at least we would not feel dizzy due to hypoglycemia.

The private wounds between Catherine and Zhu Ya's legs had almost healed last night. They might still feel a little uncomfortable after soaking in the sea water, but it was not a big deal, and the injuries were not serious.

"Will there be sharks here?" After soaking for a while, Catherine and Zhu Ya were worried, so they asked me.

"This area should be a deep sea area. Sharks usually appear in shallow waters or waters near islands and reefs. Of course, there is also a kind of shark called six-gill sharks, and their hunting grounds are all over the tropical waters."

"But you don't have to worry. Six-gill sharks usually swim close to the sea surface and will not suddenly bite from underwater. Once they are found, we have enough time to get on the boat."

I explained to them.

After listening to my explanation, Catherine and Zhu Ya felt much more at ease, and they enjoyed the coolness of the moment to the fullest.

We would go on the boat to rest for a while every hour, and when we felt the heat again, we would jump into the sea again and cling to the boat to cool down.

In this way, time came to dusk.

After getting on the boat, while there was still afterglow, I removed the three corners of the roof, tilted the roof cover, and then applied a layer of wax on it as planned to increase its hydrophobicity.

Then, I poured all the contents of the rescue box onto the deck of the cabin, leaving the red plastic box empty.

I placed the box at the lowest corner of the cover in the horizontal position, hoping to collect enough fog water.

Catherine, Zhu Ya and I were all looking forward to it.

However, since the awning was removed, the space below was much smaller, so the three of us had to sleep together.

The temperature at night was actually quite cool, and with the fog hitting our bodies, the three of us didn't feel hot sleeping together.

It was just the contact and friction of the body that involuntarily caused me to have some physiological reactions, and my lower body slowly stood up.

But Catherine and Zhu Ya didn't seem to care much.

After all, everyone's condition is much better now than when they just escaped from the medical ship, and it is normal to have physiological reactions.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

Catherine even wanted to help me, but I refused flatly because I was too weak to withstand any tossing, especially after losing so much blood, it would take a long time to recover.

Tonight was as calm as last night.

After drinking water and energy bars, we began to rest.

The raisins were already soaked, but we decided to eat them tomorrow, after all, they were the only plant fruits we could eat.

If we were destined to die in the next few days, Catherine and Zhu Ya said they hoped to die with these raisins in their mouths.

I woke up once in the middle of the night, reached out and touched the sun visor, and found it was very wet. I was looking forward to the harvest of the next day, so I continued to sleep peacefully.

At night, I had a beautiful dream.

I dreamed that Catherine, Zhu Ya, and I landed on an island, where there was endless sweet stream water. The two women and I took a pleasant bath in the cold stream pool, and then caught a lot of fish there.

But when I woke up in the morning, the boat was still rocking on the sea.

There were still no clouds in the sky, and there were no islands around. I was not surprised, after all, there were few islands in this area.

All my hope now was in that rescue box.

I hurriedly got up to check how much mist water was collected in the box.

In the early morning, the visibility on the sea surface was less than 30 meters, and the temperature was cool.

However, this comfortable environment was limited to one hour after the sun rose.

I took two steps to the rescue box. When I saw the water reflecting at the bottom of the box, I was so excited that I couldn't control myself and immediately squatted down to check the amount of water.

I stretched my finger to the bottom of the water tank and found that the collected mist water actually covered my index finger!

I tilted the box and visually measured the amount of water. It was definitely not less than 1.5 liters!

I couldn't suppress my inner joy, and immediately shouted to Catherine and Zhu Ya with excitement: "Hey, get up quickly, we have water to drink!"

My excited shout woke Catherine and Zhu Ya from their dreams.

Catherine and Zhu Ya rubbed their sleepy eyes, and seeing my excited look, they knew there must be good news!

Zhu Ya opened his dry and bitter mouth and asked, "Uncle, is there water?"

"Yes, there is about 1.5 liters. As long as we use this method to collect more fog water, even if it doesn't rain, we can still survive!"

I said excitedly, and couldn't help but reach into the box, scooped out a mouthful of water with one hand, and sucked it into my dry mouth.

The cool and sweet feeling immediately spread throughout my body like an electric current!

Seeing this, Catherine and Zhu Ya were also very excited and imitated me to drink fog water!

Everyone's chapped lips were originally peeling white skin, and now the white skin on the lips was softened by the water, and the lips became plump and rosy again.

This time I didn't limit the amount of water that Catherine and Zhu Ya drank, because everyone's body needed to recover.

Saving is to survive continuously, but if the body is in trouble, even if there is enough fresh water in the future, the body may not be able to recover. Therefore, this kind of saving is meaningless. You must know how to reasonably distribute fresh water to ensure your health.

The three of us drank a total of 500 milliliters of water.

This amount of water is not much, but we have learned to restrain ourselves.

Catherine and Zhu Ya were also afraid of returning to the days of dehydration, so they knew to restrain themselves without my reminder.

I was very relieved.

I once again gave the task of handling the raisins to Zhu Ya.

Zhu Ya was more skilled this time, and quickly poured out the raisins that were full of water, and used gauze to absorb the seawater on the surface.

Then she consciously divided the raisins into three portions.

We sat on the front deck and put them into our mouths one by one with great care. We really didn't want to finish these precious raisins like gems so quickly.

But we need calories and sugar, and these raisins have been soaked. If we don't eat them, they will go bad soon.

In this way, we ate them one by one like chickens pecking at rice.

We all lived in big cities before, and never had any awareness of cherishing the food around us. Even if we did, it was just the effect of education and propaganda, and there would be no deep understanding at all.

"It's delicious. I will always remember the taste of these raisins." Zhu Ya licked her lips and said, as if she had eaten some delicious food.

Catherine also swallowed her saliva with reluctance.

"Let's try our best to survive, and there will be more delicious food waiting for us in the future." I said encouraging words.

Now Catherine and Zhu Ya's hearts are obviously more confident than before, which can be seen from their determined eyes.

Despite this, we still didn't eat enough. Under such conditions, eating and drinking enough is a very luxurious thing.

I got up and reinstalled the awning and took it down at night.

Today is similar to yesterday, the only difference is that we started to eat shark jerky.

The nutrients and fiber in the energy bars are extremely difficult to obtain from the sea, so these energy bars must be carefully distributed.

So the staple food was changed to shark meat.

Although shark meat is a bit salty, our fresh water is no longer so scarce.

So, what we should consider is nutritional balance.
