On a deserted island, there were only a man and a woman.
The man was responsible for swimming and collecting wood.
The woman was responsible for fishing, gathering cloth, fresh water, and food.
Although a bit tiring, compared to the nerve-wracking sea journey they had faced before, it was pure bliss!
If possible, finding an island to settle down and farming a bit wouldn’t be a bad choice.
But Yang Yi knew it was impossible! He looked back at the direction from which he sailed.
In the distance, at the edge of his vision, he could see a thick, dark patch — the black fog.
That day, it had grown even darker in colour.
What it indicated was that the black fog was getting closer, and they needed to escape the sea area as soon as possible!
They still needed 72 units of wood, but they had gathered enough cloth and stone. Yang Yi even had Suna collect so extra stone to take on the ship, just in case.
While rocks were easy to gather on the island, they were hard to co by at sea and could only be acquired by fishing, which was extrely inefficient.
After all, stones, like iron, didn’t float on water unless you happened to co across a resource crate.
If nothing went wrong, they would be able to gather all the materials needed to rebuild the Nightmare Star by the end of the day.
After breakfast, Yang Yi set out early to start the day’s logging work.
Over the past few days of training, he wouldn’t call himself a swimming champion, however, being an expert swimr wasn’t an exaggeration.
With the added benefit of his sharkskin swimsuit, he even felt confident enough to challenge an Olympic swimr!
On the first three trips, Yang Yi managed to collect 57 units of wood without any trouble.
Two trips tops, and they’d have enough wood!
But on the fourth trip, sothing abruptly changed — the sea beca turbulent.
Yang Yi was about to use his gun to shoot down a tree.
Suddenly, a massive school of fish rushed past him.
These fish, big and small, many of which Yang Yi had never seen before, swam desperately forwards as if they were being chased by a demon or fleeing for their lives.
Even the usually ferocious carnivorous sharks had not thought of hunting and sped past Yang Yi like a gust of wind. The current they created was like a shockwave, tossing Yang Yi around underwater.
With great effort, he finally surfaced.
Yang Yi wasn’t hurt, but he did swallow a few mouthfuls of seawater.
The fish only brushed past him, as if deliberately avoiding him, unwilling to pause even for a second.
Yang Yi had never seen anything like this before.
Thanks to this, the logs he had prepared were nowhere to be seen, swept away by the current.
Even Yang Yi himself was pushed forwards by the water caused by the fish.
“Yang Yi, are you okay? Sothing seems wrong with the sea!” Suna sent a private ssage.
She was fishing on the shore and had also noticed the anomaly.
However, Yang Yi had discovered it earlier and had already experienced it firsthand.
“I’m okay, just swallowed so water!
The fish in the sea have gone crazy, all swimming like their lives depend on it. I think the black fog is coming!
I’m swimming back to shore, could you help out?” Yang Yi replied.
He wasn’t too confident about his stamina, so he asked Suna for assistance.
Thankfully, Suna helped him just in ti.
After coming ashore, Yang Yi had only 23 stamina left, and they still needed 15 units of wood — a little more.
He struggled to stand and looked back.
A swarm of giant bugs had also swum over.
Strangely, these giant bugs disappeared as soon as they entered the buffer zone, which was a safe area.
It was as if they had passed through a thin film into another world.
“Thank goodness the bugs can’t get through!” Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
If those things had gotten in, he might have really given up!
“Suna, we’re still short of 15 units of wood. It’s impossible to go back into the water to get them!
Fishing isn’t reliable either, so let’s try digging up so tree roots!” Yang Yi suggested.
The 15 units of wood they were missing didn’t seem like much, but fishing for them wouldn’t always yield results even after a whole day’s effort.
And the black fog didn’t seem so friendly to give them that ti.
After regaining so energy, Yang Yi joined Suna in digging up tree roots.
But digging for wood was an incredibly slow process!
By evening, they had only managed to gather 7 units, still short of the 15 they needed.
Yang Yi was growing anxious.
They could already see the shadow of the black fog behind them.
Three massive bugs had also swum over. Each one, seemingly carefully selected, had a diatre of seven or eight tres. They moved forward side by side, collided with the buffer zone, and then disappeared.
Where the three giant bugs disappeared, three huge harpoons fell.
Following this were cries and howls of despair.
“Ah God! Ah Boy! Dog Balls!
