Even with a mask on, Huang Yiyi's excitement was still evident.

She looked around and exclaimed, "Wow, there's nobody here! It's like we're the only ones left on the whole ship."

The next second, a woman's voice reached their ears.

"Not only that, but me too."

The sudden noise startled the four of them.

Cheng Zhi was the only one who wasn't scared, and she used a flashlight to look for people.

It was truly dark at sea. Cheng Zhi spent a long time finally finding the person behind the stairs downstairs. "Captain Zoe? Why aren't you asleep yet at this hour?"

Zoe, who was downstairs wearing a mask, tilted her head slightly and asked, "Aren't you guys awake too?"

It was inconvenient to chat across floors like that, so Cheng Zhi and the others simply came downstairs.

As they closed the distance, Zoe got a good look at their attire and nodded with great satisfaction, saying, "You guys are doing a great job, taking precautions and traveling during off-peak hours. That's really commendable!"

Cheng Zhi replied modestly, "There's nothing we can do, we're timid and value our lives."

It's unclear what touched the captain, but she sighed softly, "I do hope that everyone on this ship values ​​their life."

This sounds like they're worried about someone vomiting on the ship.

Just as they were about to offer some words of comfort, the captain continued, "I sailed this boat to save people, how come so many people have died or been injured in the end?"

After saying that, she lit a cigarette, roughly took off her mask, and started smoking.

"How can the captain be so discouraged?" Cheng Zhi immediately comforted him, "You've done everything you could, don't blame yourself too much."

Huang Yiyi nodded and continued, "You feed us, provide us with shelter, and lead us to find land. You can't find another captain as good as you in the whole world."

The young women in front of her were generous with their praise, and the more Zoe listened, the more she wanted to cry.

She quickly turned around, patted her chest, and said, "Stop praising me, or I really won't be able to hold it in."

Cheng Zhi and the others stopped as soon as they were told to, because they also felt that crying in front of outsiders would indeed be embarrassing.

After Zoe composed herself, she turned around, clasped her hands together, and nodded slightly to the five of them to express her gratitude.

"Given the current situation, it's not really appropriate for me to hug you all, so this is the only way I can express my feelings," Zoe explained.
