Yun Zhao knew these were symptoms of snake venom attack, so he increased the speed of his paddling.

But no matter how hard he tried, all he could see was a boundless ocean.

It wasn't until the sun was blazing overhead that he could finally see the coastline in the distance.

By this time, his arms were already exhausted.

The blisters on my palms had all burst, and they were burning with pain.

He turned his head and glanced at Qiu Sanniang. She was lying on her side in the cabin, unaware of anything, curled up, with her eyelids drooping. She looked very weak, completely different from the powerful pirate alliance leader she was usually.

In an instant, he felt an urge to pull her into his arms.

But after turning my head away and looking at the ships shuttling across the sea ahead, that thought was suppressed.

Time is of the essence; not a single second can be wasted.

With his hands bleeding and his arms nearly falling apart, he finally arrived at the South Vietnamese dock.

Yi Wu and the others were guarding there. When they saw him, they immediately came to greet him.

Yun Zhao tried to pick up Qiu San Niang, but his arms were completely powerless.

"She was bitten by a sea snake. Quickly take her to Cousin Yin."

After saying this, he fainted.

Yi Wu caught him and found that the man was burning hot, almost cooked himself.

Xiao Qingyin had been worried about Yun Zhao and Qiu Sanniang all night and didn't sleep well. This morning, seeing that the storm had stopped, she immediately sent people out to sea.

By the afternoon, the people who had gone out to sea had not returned, but Yun Zhao and Qiu San Niang were brought back by Yi Wu and the others.

Both of them developed high fevers, and Qiu Sanniang was also poisoned by snake venom.

She gave the two of them fever-reducing medicine and used acupuncture to expel the snake venom from Qiu San Niang's body.

Because the treatment was timely, there wasn't much snake venom left on Qiu San Niang's body. However, this venom had significant rhabdomyotoxicity, and Qiu San Niang would need to rest for several days to recover.

After Yun Zhao woke up, he immediately thought of Qiu San Niang.

He asked Yi Wu, who was guarding the bedside, "Where is Third Sister? Has she been saved?"

Yi Wu handed him the freshly prepared herbal medicine: "He's been saved. Drink your medicine first."

Yun Zhao reached out to take it, but found that he couldn't lift his arms.

"Just drink it," Yi Wu laughed. "Your hands probably won't be usable for several days."

Yun Zhao: "..."

He had no choice but to let Yi Wu feed him.

After taking the medicine, he went to find Xiao Qingyin to find out about Qiu Sanniang's situation.

Xiao Qingyin told him to see for himself.

"Third Sister is in the room next to yours."

Yun Zhao rolled his eyes at her and said irritably, "How can I, a grown man, go into her room?"

Xiao Qingyin blinked: "Was there a third person on your boat last night?"

Yun Zhao: "..."

Times have changed, how can they be confused!

Xiao Qingyin shrugged and replied, "Her poison has cleared up, and she's still sleeping." Then she went to have dinner.

Yun Zhao was feeling very uneasy.

Yi Wu used to be by his bedside, but there was no one there for San Niang. What if she got thirsty and wanted to drink water?

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the door of the room next to his own.

I listened intently for a while, but there was no sound inside.

He couldn't help but worry, what if Third Sister never woke up?

Although he knew that with Xiao Qingyin's medical skills, this situation would not occur, he still couldn't help but worry.

I can't feel at ease until I see it with my own eyes.

Thinking of this, he slammed his fist on his forehead.

I realize I've really gone mad.

He's not a womanizer with ulterior motives; he was just looking at Third Sister out of concern. That's perfectly reasonable, so why hesitate?

After thinking it through, he placed his hand on the door, about to push it open, when the door creaked open from the inside.

Qiu Sanniang was already unsteady on her feet and couldn't stop herself. She stumbled and fell into his arms.

Yun Zhao's mind went blank for a moment.

After realizing what was happening, my heart started pounding, as if a thousand war drums were beating.

He hurriedly helped Qiu Sanniang up, but when he realized his hand was on her waist, he quickly pulled it back.

Feigning composure, he asked, "Third Sister, are you alright?"

"fine."

Qiu Sanniang said, leaning against the door.

"My left leg is weak, and I walk with a wobbly gait."

Yun Zhao frowned: "You're not ready yet, what are you doing getting up? Go back to bed."

"I need to send a message back to let the gang know that I've been rescued."

"My cousin Yin has already notified the Hongyun Gang, and someone should be here soon."

As soon as the words were spoken, Yi San led a few people up.

They were the core members of the Hongyun Gang.

"Third Sister, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Several people gathered around in surprise.

Yun Zhao stepped to the side of the corridor and quietly watched them.

“Let’s sit down and talk,” Qiu San Niang said, her face regaining its usual calm and composure. “My legs can’t stand for long.”

The group followed Qiu Sanniang into the room.

Yun Zhao returned to his room.

A moment later, he heard the door across the hall open and a knock on his own door.

"I'm going back to the gang with them."

After opening the door, Qiu Sanniang said to him.

"The Black Tiger Gang and the Sea Wolf Gang have broken away from the alliance and will no longer participate in the war. Although the Iraqi fleet has temporarily retreated to the Falklands, it will definitely come back after replenishing its ammunition. I need to go back and discuss countermeasures."

Without hesitation, Yun Zhao said, "I'll go with you."

"Um?"

Qiu San Niang looked at him, puzzled.

"You have far more ships and men than the Iraqi fleet, yet you suffered such a crushing defeat. I don't think it's just because their weapons are more advanced."

Yun Zhao said slowly and deliberately.

"Your tactics are too far behind."
