Chapter 1084
At night, Qi Mingyu stayed by her side and could always hear her moaning in pain in her sleep.
He sat by the bedside, and every hour he would use a cotton swab dipped in medicine to gently moisten her lips and mouth, his movements as gentle as if he were caring for a fragile treasure.
Seeing her curled up in the blankets, her brows furrowed slightly from difficulty breathing, Qi Mingyu was frantic and went to call the doctor again and again.
The doctor also personally examined Zhou Shuwan, but the diagnosis he gave was also frustrating: "She is highly sensitive to the irritation of salt spray, and her symptoms are much more severe than others. All we can do is try to alleviate her pain."
Upon learning the news, Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai immediately rushed to the cockpit.
Seeing her daughter's face as pale as paper, half of her face swollen so badly that she could barely open her eyes, Zhong Tiyun's tears instantly fell.
“Wanwan, come back to the dormitory with us.” She held her daughter’s cold hand, her voice choked with emotion. “It’s too noisy and crowded in the cockpit, and it’s not convenient to take care of you. Your dad and I can take good care of you when we get back.”
Zhou Shuwan slowly shook her head.
They were still far from leaving the salt fog area. The entire fleet was like a blind man at this moment. Without her perception, the fleet would definitely lose its way.
Even Captain Wang couldn't give the correct directions.
She cannot leave at this time.
She blinked, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, and gently patted her mother's hand to indicate that she was alright.
Captain Chen was also very worried about Zhou Shuwan's condition.
He had someone bring over a cot and two thick blankets so that Zhou Shuwan could lie down on it anytime and be a little more comfortable.
He even specially assigned a doctor to take care of Zhou Shuwan.
The restaurant also prepares special liquid food for her every day, using fine rice milk mixed with crushed vegetables and minced meat to ensure as much nutrition as possible.
In a fleet where supplies are scarce, this is already the greatest privilege.
Even Captain Chen couldn't possibly eat a meal made of rice and noodles every day.
Their most common foods now are potatoes and smoked fish.
As the days passed in agony, Zhou Shuwan's pain in her mouth finally began to ease slightly.
The open sores began to scab over slowly, and the swelling gradually subsided. Although swallowing was still difficult, at least the excruciating pain was no longer unbearable.
Just as her condition was gradually improving, a cheer suddenly broke out in the cockpit.
"Look! The fog ahead is clearing!" a crew member exclaimed excitedly, pointing out the window.
The crowd looked in the direction he pointed and saw the brown salt fog receding like the tide, revealing a clear sea surface.
Sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the sea, creating a shimmering, dazzling effect that made it hard to open one's eyes.
Qi Mingyu suddenly stood up and rushed to the window. He saw that the sea in front of the fleet was gradually returning to its original color, and the brown salt fog seemed to be dispersed by an invisible hand and disappeared into the horizon.
"We're out!" someone couldn't help but cheer, their voices filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
It's no wonder everyone was so happy; the entire fleet had been navigating through the salt fog for a full twenty-five days.
Captain Wang Qian, who had been silently staying in the cockpit, couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect the salt fog area to have expanded so much. Last time I led a team back, it only took us about ten days to get through it."
Captain Chen sighed softly, "The salt fog is spreading too fast. If this continues, I'm afraid more sea areas will be covered."
"Yes!"
Even if their ships are fast and their navigation is accurate, where can they hide then?
At the same time, people noticed that the temperature of the seawater was also rising abnormally.
The mothership measured the water temperature and found it to be 39 degrees Celsius, like lukewarm water.
"No wonder it's been getting hotter and hotter these days, it turns out the sea temperature is rising." A crew member wiped the sweat from his forehead.
