Lu Wenrou had clearly underestimated the force of nature.

Last night, she set off toward the nearest island in a rubber dinghy, but as the sea heaved and dipped beneath her, it felt as if she was getting further away instead of closer. The dense fog enveloping her made the terrible realization dawn upon her: she had gotten lost at sea.
