"Then don't eat."

"It's okay. If you want to eat, I'll peel it for you. If you want meat or water, just tell me and I'll feed you. Don't be embarrassed because your hand is injured. You need to eat and drink well to have the strength to find medicine."

As he spoke, Shinonome took out a new orange from the coconut shell and continued to feed Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who couldn't use her hands.

We've found orange trees, but why can't we find cinchona trees or other plants that treat malaria?

Could it be that there are no cinchona trees in this jungle, or any plants that the audience recognizes that can treat malaria?

Dongyun looked at his Sun Points.

After buying medicine for Rin-chan, he still had two suns. Today is a new day, and his sun points have increased to three.

Tomorrow, Rin-chan will run out of medication. Without it, her malaria might worsen rapidly, eventually becoming incurable.

There are different types of malaria. Some types of malaria do not cause death within 24 hours, but others can, and patients will die within 24 hours if they are not treated in time.

Different malaria patients will have different periodic reactions. However, if Rin-chan has malignant malaria, which can kill a person within 24 hours, they will slowly observe and confirm that it is malignant malaria. By then, Rin-chan's condition may have deteriorated to the point that even Bian Que (a famous Chinese physician) would have to say that it is incurable and that she should just wait to die.

This is why Shinonome couldn't wait until he had accumulated five suns to change Shima Rin's medicine, but instead insisted on rushing through the jungle with Nadeshiko to find the cinchona tree.

Not a single day can be wasted.

Rin might survive until he buys the new medicine, or she might not. Besides, even if she does survive until he buys the medicine a second time, he and Nadeshiko will still have to come to the cinchona tree, since Rin is unlikely to survive until he has a third chance.

Chapter 96 The Woman Washed Ashore

bay.

Shima Rin slumped in his chair, listlessly watching the cruise ship at sea.

"Xiao Jia".

"Ok?"

Gabriel hummed softly as she started a fire.

"Do you think the cruise ship might have traveled through time, just like us?"

"Maybe."

Gabriel answered noncommittally.

Although Shinonome and Kagamihara Nadeshiko took the matches, Shima Rin still had a lighter, which made it easy for Gabriel to start a fire.

During the daytime, there's not much to worry about people on the cruise ship seeing their firelight.

As for the smoke, there's no need to worry. As long as it's not thick smoke, it's not a big problem. First, there's a fire pit, and second, there are tall trees and leaves to block it. The white smoke from the firewood will disappear before it reaches the top of the tree.

After starting the fire, Gabriel looked up through the trees at the cruise ship on the sea and said.

"To tell you something cruel, if the cruise ship had traveled through time like us, everyone on board might be dead by now, or there might be survivors struggling to survive like us."

Last night, a blood moon rose. They all knew that a blood moon was something to be avoided, but if the cruise ship had traveled from another time, then the people on board certainly wouldn't know. There must have been people on board who looked up at the moon, and there must have been people whose eyes mutated, ultimately becoming corrupted and controlled.

She remembered it very clearly; that mutated rat had grown eyes all over its head and was extremely aggressive.

If passengers or crew members on board were also contaminated, their eyes mutated and covered in something like that rat's head, then one bloody massacre after another could very well unfold on the ship.

Moreover, Dongyun is special; he has a system, and he is so corrupted that he only has one eye.

Perhaps if a normal person is contaminated, their eyes will mutate, and they will become aggressive like a mutated rat. However, Dongyun has a system that protects him, so only one eye is mutated, and he will not lose his mind and become aggressive.

Gabriel shared her analysis, and after listening to her, Shima Rin fell silent.

This is something that could happen.

"Not necessarily. Maybe someone has taken control of the situation?"

"I can't speak," Shima Rin said weakly.

“Possibly.” Gabriel rested her chin on her hand and looked at Rin Shima, raising a new question, “But if a person is completely controlled by the contamination, wouldn’t they be unable to feel pain like a zombie?”

Dongyun had said that when his right eye mutated, he couldn't see anything except what appeared to be text from the system's backend. Therefore, there was no reason for the mutated rat with its entire head covered in eyeballs to see her and Dongyun and attack them.

Moreover, neither Dongyun nor the pheasant showed any aggression when their eyes mutated, while only the mutated rat with its head completely contaminated was extremely aggressive.

Does this mean that what attacked them wasn't the rats, but those countless tiny eyes and tentacles, and that they controlled the rats to attack them?

"so annoying!"

Gabriel scratched her head in frustration.

She doesn't like thinking much, and if she keeps thinking like this, she feels like she's going to grow a brain.

Gabriel's question was answered by Shima Rin, but Gabriel didn't hear it. However, it didn't matter whether Shima Rin answered "yes" or "no".

Regardless of whether the cruise ship had traveled through time, they could only watch it from afar, and could not let the cruise ship know of their existence or that two people were hiding in the jungle right next to the beach.

They need to wait until Shinonome and Nadeshiko return to discuss the cruise ship issue in detail.

Suddenly, Gabriel stood up.

She stared intently at the beach, and when she saw what was on the sand, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"what happened?"

Shima Rin was unaware of what had happened. Following Xiao Jia's gaze, she looked towards the beach, and instantly, she too widened her eyes in disbelief.

people!

Someone was washed ashore on the beach!

Gabriel looked serious, picked up a wooden stick, and said to Rin Shima, "Rin-chan, I'm going over there. If I encounter any danger, you should run away if you can."

Some people were washed ashore. They couldn't just ignore it.

Whether the other person is a good person or a bad person, they, or rather she, have to go and see.

"I can't run."

Shima Rin gently shook her head.

Even if she weren't sick and weak, she wouldn't have run away if Xiao Jia were in danger.

If we're going to die, we'll die together; at worst, we'll become ghosts.

If angels exist, then ghosts must exist too, right?

"Okay, if he's a bad guy, I'll try to kill him."

After saying that, Gabriel walked towards the person lying on the beach.

She walked at a moderate pace, and after walking a certain distance, she could see clearly whether the people on the beach were human or not, and whether they were male or female, alive or dead.

She was a person, a woman, who appeared to be an ordinary human woman in her twenties, but she was already dead.

She wore a deep red dress, her skin and face were very pale, a crab was hidden in her golden hair, and her big brown eyes stared desperately at the sky. Her body was completely lifeless.

What bothered Gabriel was that the corpse's joints were twisted unnaturally, as if the bones in its waist were broken. There were also wounds on the exposed thighs, as if it had been stabbed by something sharp.

But judging from the woman's appearance, it didn't seem like she died from these injuries; rather, it seemed more like she drowned.

"If Dongyun were here, that would be great."

Gabriel sighed.

She's an angel, not a detective; asking her to figure out how this woman died is too much to ask. If Dongyun were here, he might be able to reconstruct the scene of the woman's death with the help of his viewers in the live chat.

But could this stab wound be from a dried walking fish? Then was the bone broken by the walking fish? How did she fall into the water?

Gabriel was able to deduce that the walking fish had boarded the cruise ship.

Judging from the last Blood Moon, the Walking Fish has a strong interest in corruption. Just as she needs to replenish her mana with corrupted eyes, the Walking Fish's pursuit of corrupted eyes is probably also for the eyes' magic.

If many people on the cruise ship were contaminated, there's no reason why the walking fish, which can pinpoint the location of Dongyun, wouldn't be able to sense the contaminated passengers and crew.

So there might still be survivors on the cruise ship.

The walking fish should only eat contaminated people; those who aren't contaminated might survive if they hide. However, even if there are survivors on the cruise ship, there's nothing she can do. She can't board the ship; the only option is for the people on board to come to her in lifeboats.

"puff!"

Just as Gabriel was pondering, the corpse suddenly made a strange sound.

Sensing something was wrong, Gabriel quickly retreated.

"Pfft!"

"Puff puff!"

Under Gabriel's horrified gaze, the woman's skirt gradually bulged at her abdomen, and thick, black worms crawled out from under the skirt. As if defecating, a large number of disgusting black worms poured out from under the skirt.

Not just under the skirt, but also the mouth, nose, eyes, and ears!

Gabriel watched helplessly as the woman's fairly pretty face was engulfed by black worms that crawled out from her features.

Chapter 97 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

In the tropical rainforest, Higashiyun and Kagamihara Nadeshiko still couldn't find the cinchona tree, nor any other plant that could treat malaria.
