Chapter 1716 Sea Travel
"Asleep...!"

Everyone in the laboratory was imagining the future. After Zhang Xuezhou gave them some instructions, he stopped paying attention to them.

He lay back down in his little space.

When the lights in the room were turned off, Zhang Xuezhou saw Zhou Rihui coming to ask happily.

This made him wave his hand and then lie down.

Before he could finish his words, he had already woken up in another world.

The color of the sky and the earth changed instantly, the sound of waves roared into his ears, and the slightly salty sea water flowed from his nostrils to his lips. After Zhang Xuezhou licked it, he couldn't help but turn over.

"Why, are we going out to sea in such a simple outfit?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the thick wooden board that could not be called a boat at all, and Li Shaojun and Gongsun Hong were using two boards as oars to row the boat.

Although the speed of the thick wooden board sailing in the sea cannot be said to be slow, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this kind of boat was indeed too simple.

"We just capsized," Li Shaojun said angrily.

"You woke up. We were unlucky. We checked the weather before we went out to sea, but we encountered a storm just two days into the voyage. The storm smashed our ship so hard that only a piece of board was left!"

Gongsun Hong's face turned yellow, and he kept looking around, obviously wanting to find an island with fresh water.

For great practitioners, it is not difficult to get food while sailing on the sea. At worst, they can just eat some raw fish. What they really lack is fresh water.

Even great practitioners can't go on without drinking water.

Drinking a few sips of sea water will taste bitter, but the key is that sea water does not quench your thirst. Instead, the more you drink, the thirstier you become, eventually leading to loss of body fluids, fatigue and death.

Gongsun Hong licked his extremely dry lips and paddled the wooden board in his hands with all his strength.

"Are we heading back now?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked up at the ocean where the sea and sky were one, and there was no reference in the waves.

Although observing the sun can help you determine east, south, west and north, it would be a very bad thing to sail in any direction if you cannot locate it.

This is a bit far from the distance Zhang Xuezhou imagined he would be standing in the Mohist Mechanical City after waking up.

If Li Shaojun and Gongsun Hong had not spared any strength, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would have been sunk to the bottom of the sea for several days.

Of course, this would not be too much of a problem for him. As a practitioner of the Water Avoidance Technique and caught in the lack of physiological activities caused by the world transfer, Zhang Xuezhou was sure that he would not drown after soaking in the water for two days.

"Gongsun Hong said that the place where the boat capsized was only a few dozen miles away from the island, so we rowed towards the island he remembered, but now we haven't arrived after two or three days," Li Shaojun said, "Now we can't determine the specific location, and we don't know whether we are returning!"

"This place should be only about 800 miles from the coast," Gongsun Hong said, "It would be best if we could find an island to adjust our position. If we can't find one, we can row back. Just be patient and paddle steadily with me!"

"I want to eat some hot food, and I want to drink some water. I don't want to eat raw fish anymore. Damn the sea. The thing I hate most in my life is the sea, and I also hate fish!"

Li Shaojun cursed and put down the wooden board in his hand angrily. He was obviously very dissatisfied with this searching journey.

Before going out to sea, he thought about becoming a superior person and reaching the peak of his life, but the unpredictable climate changes in the ocean directly cooled the passion in Li Shaojun's heart.

If he hadn't had some skills, he would have been buried at the bottom of the sea like those old fishermen who controlled the ships during the storm.

When disaster strikes, birds fly away. Li Shaojun and others are no exception. They can only barely protect their own lives in the storm. Even Zhang Xuezhou was floating in the sea and did not die. He was rescued by them by chance.

"Don't ask me to join this kind of activity again!"

After hearing Li Shaojun's mumbling for a few words, Zhang Xuezhou finally realized what had happened to him.

If it weren't for his abilities such as avoiding water, fasting, and the natural clothing that makes him invulnerable to water and fire, he would have died in a daze. Even if he was lucky enough to wake up, he would have been so hungry that he could hardly support his body.

Although this situation was within Zhang Xuezhou's worst-case scenario, he did not expect to encounter it again.

The reason why we say they met again is that he had also encountered a shipwreck when he left the Tours area on a black ship.

But compared to the strenuous rescue efforts of Zhang Manqian, Ren Anran and others, the two guys in front of him just helped him out, and the disparity in team treatment was terrible. Of course, the results were no different, and he survived in the end.

As a person favored by the water, it is a bit difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to die in the water.

If the distance from this place to the coast was limited, he could take off and return to the shore directly at this moment. Relying on the Cloud Technique and the Cloud-soaring Technique plus paddling, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it should be no problem to cross a distance of hundreds of miles.

"Let's find a place to determine our location first, and then plan our next step!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the vast ocean.

He didn't fly around randomly at this time, for fear of losing his direction and getting stuck in the sea and having difficulty returning.

"It's a bit difficult," Li Shaojun said with a headache, "It's impossible to locate in this sea. I don't want to come to the sea in my next life!"

Li Shaojun has the ability to come back to life after death, but there are many ways to break this ability.

For example, as Zhang Xuezhou said, press him under the mountain, let him die and come back to life, then press him to death again, and then wait for resurrection, and then fall into death again. After forming a cycle, his technique can be broken.

Being trapped in the sea and dying of thirst and starvation is also a cycle. Li Shaojun died of thirst and then survived, but he will die of thirst again.

Trapped in this situation, he was indeed a little panicked and felt that his future was in danger.

"I don't have enough strength now. I don't think I can paddle ten miles with the plank." Li Shaojun said, "We are basically done!"

"Don't give up," Gongsun Hong encouraged. "It is common to encounter bad weather when sailing in the sea. I have experienced this kind of thing in my life. But those who can survive all have a strong desire for life, and finally find a chance to survive!"

"What I'm saying is, you have a strong desire for life, so you should do more work!"

Li Shaojun waved his hands, indicating that he would not be persuaded by Gongsun Hong's preaching.

He now wanted to save some energy in case he couldn't catch those hard-to-swallow sea fish.

As for the work, he would follow Gongsun Hong. Li Shaojun firmly believed that what he wanted was to survive, not to work. As long as he lived longer than Gongsun Hong, he would live if the other party lived, and he would die after the other party died.

It was not difficult to guess what Li Shaojun was thinking. Gongsun Hong could not persuade him and did not force him. He licked his dry lips and then fell into the mechanical and repetitive paddling again.

"Would you like to drink some water first?"

Zhang Xuezhou touched the water hyacinth on his body and took it out only after he realized that the thing was not lost.

"Those few sips of water in your gourd, hey... hey hey hey!"

Li Shaojun laughed dryly with a slightly hoarse voice, which made Zhang Xuezhou look at him several times.

"Are you rummaging through my things again?" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"If he couldn't open your bag, he would have taken out everything you could find on you." Gongsun Hong pursed his lips and said, "Your friend is a bit unreliable!"

"I just wanted to see if he had anything useful to save him," Li Shaojun argued. "Besides, you took several sips of water from this gourd. Don't pretend to be a good person. We are all involved in this matter!"

A gourd of water is insignificant and worthless on land, but in the sea it is a life-prolonging medicine.

It is extremely normal for people to fight over water, or even cause death.

The closer one is to the limit of one's physical condition, the more likely one is to do such things out of a desire to survive.

Li Shaojun felt that his behavior was not outrageous and that any normal person would do the same. He couldn't help but snort at Gongsun Hong a few times, indicating that the other party was no different.

"This is the water gourd that my neighbor Zheng Wukong temporarily placed with me. The secret compartment inside contains a lot of water. Feel free to drink it. You'll be full!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook the slightly empty gourd, and after he pinched a few fingers, the water in the gourd quickly became full.

Zheng Wukong once said that the gourd was filled with water from a large lake, and Zhang Xuezhou thought it would be enough to drink for hundreds of years.

At least he wouldn't run out of water in any area.

The only drawback is that this gourd is somewhat similar to the purple gold medicine gourd, and seems a little unreliable.
