Chapter 588: There is an Island

Just like that, the ship sailed for another day. Everyone's mouths were dry and their stomachs were hungry, feeling much weaker. Some were even tempted to drink seawater but were strongly stopped by Gu Fan.

Despite his apparent strength, Gu Fan himself was also struggling. It was his first time going without a drink for so long. Even during his times in foreign lands, the water shortage had never been so severe.

Fortunately, the weather wasn't scorching. Otherwise, the number of people collapsing from dehydration under the scorching sun would definitely have been more.

Along the way, they saw many islands. Some questioned why they didn't go ashore to explore and try their luck. First, it was Ouyang Jin's suggestion that landing on an island to find water would waste more time if it failed, making their situation even more desperate. The priority was to keep heading east as far as they could. The further eastway they went, the higher the probability of finding water on the islands.
