Above the Shoreline, How Emika Convinced her Mother

Day 146 - 9:01 AM - Mount Romelo, Real, Quezon Province, Philippines

Leaving the New Infanta Settlement, Mark directed Chaflar to fly towards the south, maintaining their flight over the eastern coastline of Real, Quezon.

From Infanta, it would be faster if they flew southeast, over the ocean, following Pollilo Strait and soon, Lamon Bay. However, flying straight towards the direction of Catanduanes would lead them to a hundred-kilometer flight over the ocean waters. That was even farther than flying from New Infanta Settlement to Bay City, which only had a seventy-five-kilometer distance.

There was no way that Chaflar would be able to fly that far in one go. Going through a few islands was also an option. However, it did not remove the fact that it was far more dangerous to travel above the ocean than on land.

Well, it might be safer in other kinds of a zombie apocalypse, but not in this one.
