"What are you doing? Why aren't you moving? Clearly, you can catch up, so what now? The base is locked, and I can't find a boat. How am I supposed to get back to shore?"
Ren Yan spoke more and more desperately.
This island is three hours away by boat from the nearest coastal city, assuming you can even find the direction. Now it's just her and a mermaid on this vast sea, in unfamiliar and dangerous waters, how can she reach the shore?
Gao Qingjue lied to her, tricked her into thinking mermaids surrounded her, tricked her into leaving the base in a heat of the moment, and now she's isolated and helpless.
The mermaid beneath her has been silent for a long time.
Ren Yan's breathing was rapid. When she finally lost sight of the giant ship's silhouette, she calmed down and returned to reality, realizing how desperate her situation was.
