Chapter 1099
However, they were passing through this group of reefs at that moment.
That was what he encountered when he returned with his fleet.
Because they were responsible for the survival of nearly 7,000 survivors in the entire fleet, Vice Captain Wang drew everything he saw along the way in great detail.
However, Zhou Shuwan seemed to understand the sketch she had drawn even better than him.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "I was just going by intuition. It's not actually that accurate, but everyone trusts me and believes what I say..."
Wang Qian said thoughtfully, "Dr. Zhou, if a fleet had you, the chances of survival at sea would be greatly increased. It's fortunate that you were here!"
Zhou Shuwan waved her hand: "You overestimate me, First Mate Wang!"
First mate Wang smiled and pointed to the destination mark on the nautical chart: "At the current speed, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should reach the island in another ten days. We've traveled this stretch of road before; there were no major disasters, just a few minor waves that didn't affect our navigation."
Zhou Shuwan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at First Mate Wang: "Captain Wang, have you been to the island before? What is the situation on the island like?"
"Of course I've been there!" When the island was mentioned, the first mate's eyes lit up and his tone became much lighter: "Although the island is completely submerged by the sea, I took a small team with me to explore it last time. The island's foundation is very solid and its area is large enough for us to build a mid-air fortress."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Shuwan with a puzzled expression, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
“It’s nothing,” Zhou Shuwan shook her head and handed the nautical chart back to Vice Captain Wang. “It’s just that we’re almost at our destination, and I’m feeling a bit nervous about returning home. I want to know more about the situation.”
"I understand!" First mate Wang immediately smiled, revealing a set of white teeth: "I'm also looking forward to getting to the island every day. It feels like a dream. It's not easy to find such a safe and peaceful place!"
Captain Chen, beaming with joy, patted Wang Qian on the shoulder: "What's there to be skeptical about?! Xiao Wang, you've done a great job finding the island! Once we get there, the warship will definitely recognize your merit and hold a celebration for you!"
Captain Chen was so happy because he was relieved after learning that there was no danger ahead.
The first mate was a little embarrassed by the praise, a blush creeping onto his dark face. He scratched his head and said, "This is what I should do. Providing everyone with a safe place is more important than anything else."
When Zhou Shuwan returned from there, Qi Mingyu looked at her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Of all those people, only he was the one who keenly noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Shuwan shook her head, sat on the cot, looked at the boundless sea in the distance, and smiled: "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just a little too happy, and now I'm feeling a bit anxious."
Qi Mingyu knew she was hiding something, but he didn't press her for details. He simply reached out and patted her head gently, saying, "Don't think too much. We've come so far already, we'll be at the island soon. Once we're on the island, we can rest properly and won't have to worry about the dangers at sea anymore."
Zhou Shuwan nodded and said, following his words, "Yes, I hope so."
She walked to the porthole and looked out at the vast sea.
The sea was azure blue, and the sunlight shone on its surface, creating a shimmering, peaceful, and beautiful scene.
But Zhou Shuwan's smile slowly faded, and her eyes became complicated.
She remembered this sea area clearly; it was the place she passed through with Qi Mingyu, her parents, and Mu Mu on their way back.
Qi Mingyu and his group had no landmarks at sea, so they didn't recognize the place.
By then, her spatial awareness had recovered somewhat, and she could clearly perceive everything within a radius of a hundred miles.
However, within her perception range, there was no island at all.
Was there a misunderstanding in her perception at the time?
Or was it the small island that Wang Qian and the others mentioned, located just outside her perception range?
