Chapter 793: Miserable Situation

She unbuttoned the shirt and tugged it open by its sleeves. She saw that it was rather long and wrapped it around their bodies tightly.

Now that they were tied together, the waves would not separate them.

She changed their positions with some difficulties, wrapping her arms around him and leaning her head against his shoulder in an attempt to rest.

She was truly exhausted.

Her stamina was fully expended and she could not keep her eyes open any further.

However, she could not afford to sleep!

Bai Qinghao was already unconscious. Although he was leaning against the first-aid kit and it was unlikely for him to slide into the water, there was a possibility that he would move in his sleep.

If she fell asleep and failed to notice this, the first aid kit would move above his head and cause him to drown.

She herself also faced the risk of drowning in her sleep.

Thus, she pinched her thigh harshly and relied on the pain to keep herself awake.

Right now, she could not pause to consider where the waves were nudging them towards.

She simply did not have the strength to guide them in any direction.

She wasn’t sure how long they had drifted through the ocean. As she had expected, with the movement of the waves, Bai Qinghao’s head quickly slid off of the first aid kit and the box began to press his head beneath the water.

If she had not noticed this in time, he would most certainly have drowned to death!

Fang Xinxin lifted her hands with some difficulty and re-arranged his head back to its original position.

She made sure to rely mostly on his life jacket to remain afloat.

She would not do anything more to waste the little stamina she had left.

All she needed to do was to ensure that their heads remained above water.

She employed a lot of willpower to keep herself awake.

Before she knew it, the sun had set. The entire ocean was surrounded by an isolating darkness.

The surface of the water was pitch-black and she could only rely on the moonlight to see a little of her reflection against it.

The ocean was at times peaceful and quiet, and at times enraged and powerful.

An entire day had passed. She was certain it was almost 3:00 in the morning right now. They had yet to have a single sip of water.

She was really thirsty.

She felt as though smoke was emitting from her throat.

She noticed that Bai Qinghao’s lips were cracked and dry. It was clear that he was also thirsty.

She really wished she could drink the sea water.

However, her rationality reminded her that she could not afford to do so. Otherwise, the salty sea water would only expand more of the water she had in her body to process it. Her body would become dehydrated faster.

Still, she could not make water appear out of thin air.

She glanced towards the pitch-black night sky.

She wanted to ask God when exactly he planned on making the sky rain.

This way, they would at least have some water to drink.

She took in the bright, sparkling stars and guessed that it was unlikely for any rain to occur tonight.

Or perhaps, she hoped they would be lucky and come into contact with a floating bottle of water.

The helicopter that had exploded earlier had been well-stocked with mineral water.

She sighed. It was most likely those bottles had been blasted into pieces and were nowhere to be found.

Fang Xinxin took in Bai Qinghao’s pale lips with heartache.

He was seriously injured and was currently a patient. He needed water more than anyone.

At this rate, he would die of thirst.

She needed to come up with a way to produce water.

She also discovered something bad.

He was having a fever!

She leaned back to touch his forehead. It was scalding!

He had to be burning up to forty degrees celsius.

At this rate, the fever would hurt his brain. It could even cause lingering conditions. She needed to ease his fever somehow..
