Chapter 77 The Thousand Islands
After everyone finished drinking the ginger soup, they quickly got back to work.
Old Xia and his team tried to locate the location on the map based on the available information.
Even if there were some errors and the direction was lost, the distance traveled could still be determined based on the course and speed over the past two days.
These matters were discussed inside by Old Hu and a few others, along with James.
Meanwhile, Elder Xia had the other comrades begin analyzing Luo Yin's ability.
Their guiding principle is to identify and solve problems.
Luo Yin had no idea that from that moment on, she would truly step into the field she would cultivate for the next few decades.
Moreover, through his own efforts and talent, he achieved accomplishments and honors that many people could hardly imagine.
And he is also a master of the field who can carry on the legacy for generations!
Okay, back to the present. Luo Yin just felt a tickle in her nose from the sea breeze.
After several sneezes in a row, she knew something was wrong.
The ginger soup I drank warmed me up for a while, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Sister You, who was standing nearby, rushed over and touched Luo's forehead, finding it to be quite hot. "Oh dear, Luo, you seem to have a fever!"
"What? Girl, are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Ming, who was looking down at the data, heard the sound and hurriedly asked her with concern.
Her older colleagues also showed concern.
"He must be freezing. It's still cold outside." The man pulled his clothes tighter, looking certain.
"Then hurry up and find Dr. Yu, and get her some medicine to take first."
"Yes, yes, you can't get sick now. If you get sick, you'll get a fever and a runny nose, and if it gets serious, your nose will be so stuffy that you won't be able to smell anything."
Luo Yin was dumbfounded. She hadn't even said anything yet, so why were everyone in the room getting so anxious?
She shook her head, trying to say that she was fine, but she was interrupted by everyone's chatter as soon as she said that she was okay.
When Old Shi mentioned the last half of the sentence, everyone present was stunned.
This is terrible! Lorne really can't fall down!
Even though they haven't definitively proven what Lorne's sense of smell can detect yet, it's obvious to anyone that it will be of great help.
If she gets sick now, then they'll have to stay here and suffer.
"Yes, yes, Xiao You, you should quickly help Xiao Luo to find Dr. Yu. You hand over what you're doing to others. From now on, your main task is to take good care of her until she recovers."
Xia Ming gave her a serious warning, then looked at Luo Yin gently.
"Xiao Luo, be a good boy/girl, eat well and rest well, and take good care of your health!"
“That’s right, Xiao Luo, you can’t get sick right now. I’ll find my military overcoat for you later, and I’ll also give you a thermos.” Xia Mingjiang patted his chest and said generously.
"Yes, yes, I always keep a coat handy, do you want it?"
Luo Yin quickly waved her hand, feeling that she was fine. "No need, thank you everyone. I'm just a little cold. I'll take some medicine and warm myself up when I get back."
"Alright, alright, Xiao You, keep an eye on things and go down now."
Yu Lizhu quickly led her people away, and only after they disappeared did the crowd resume their hushed conversation.
It's nothing more than figuring out what I have left and whether I can help her.
Xia took the opportunity to tell Old Xia something, and then ran into the room to rummage through everything.
As soon as Captain Huo changed out of his wet clothes and stepped outside, he heard a noise from next door. He took a step forward and saw Xia inside.
What are you doing?
"Ah, it's you. I remember Old Qin gave me a bottle of pills before. I can't find them."
Hosen frowned and took a few steps forward to examine his expression.
"You're sick, but you don't look sick!"
"Oh, it wasn't me. It's Xiao Luo who probably caught a cold and has a fever. I was just thinking of finding some medicine for her."
"Is she sick?" Hossen asked, his tone slightly raised.
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingjiang looked up and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you speaking so loudly? But you seem to be doing alright. You should recover after taking the medicine once or twice."
"Oh right, I found it." Xia, who had finally pulled the medicine bottle out from under the box, got up to leave.
Hossen followed behind and soon arrived at their room.
"There are no obvious symptoms at the moment, which means the situation is not serious. Let's give her some medicine as a precaution and closely monitor her temperature. We'll see if there are any changes."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Yu!"
Dr. Yu waved his hand, left two doses of Western medicine, and got up to leave.
He still had to go back and complete the medical records, and he also had to check the remaining medication list with Ganda.
Before leaving, I ran into Xia and Captain Huo. I nodded briefly and was about to leave when someone called me back.
"Dr. Yu, Xia got some here. Could you take a look and see if we need to use it?" Huo Sen took the initiative to respond to the topic.
"Oh, yes, I have some pills I brought from home. Would you like to take a look?"
Xia Mingjiang handed him the medicine bottle, but in his heart he was worried that Old Qin would never find out. If he knew that Old Qin didn't trust him enough to have other doctors examine him, he might never be able to get medicine again.
"Yes, these are very good medicinal herbs, and the proportions and formula are also very good. It's a good one."
A hint of surprise flashed in Dr. Yu's eyes when he saw the medicine bottle, but he responded as usual.
"But we don't need it right now. She's already taking her medication. It would be perfect to use your medicine if her condition gets worse."
Seeing him hand her the medicine, Xia Xia declined, saying, "Really? That's fine then. Otherwise, I'll just leave the medicine with you."
"That won't do. Since you brought it yourself, you should keep it. I have enough medicine here." Dr. Yu looked at Captain Huo beside him and saw him glancing inside several times before quickly leaving.
Seeing that the person had left, Xia Mingjiang put the medicine bottle away and said, "He seems to be alright. Since he's alright, let's go."
"Um!"
Hosen didn't intend to go in and disturb them, so he followed him away.
The meeting, which lasted for more than two hours, finally made progress.
Based on their current information, they roughly determined that they were likely near the Kuril Islands in the western Pacific Ocean.
Given the ship's current location, it is definitely near one of the islands in the Thousand Islands.
"In that case, we just need to confirm our location, and then walk around the island to get back to the correct position."
"Don't forget, the Thousand Islands are the territory of a neighboring country. We have already offended them."
"What's the big deal? We didn't just come here on our own initiative. It's all because of this weird and unusual weather."
Listening to their discussion, Xia Ming and Old Hu exchanged a glance and noticed that the foreigners opposite them looked unusually unpleasant.
From the moment they deduced it was the Thousand Islands, they all wore cold faces and stiff expressions.
As if he had encountered some major problem, Old Xia vaguely saw several pairs of frightened eyes.
"It's over, it's over. How could we have gone off course like this? This is worse than a disaster from the sky."
"Yeah, I heard there are two pirate islands in the northern part of the Thousand Islands. Aren't we heading to their lair?"
"And another thing, I finally know why there's so much fog here. There must be an active volcano near the Thousand Islands, and this is all ash from its eruptions."
"Do we even have a chance to survive now? This is basically trapping us here to die."
The initially surprised and worried crowd saw the foreigners discussing the matter animatedly, and some of them who understood immediately realized how serious the situation was.
He stammered out the story to his colleagues, who all looked at Old Xia with utter despair.
"Old Xia, is what they're saying true?"
"Is our current situation really that dire!"
The dozen or so people in the room, whether they had Eastern or Western features, instinctively held their breath.
They all looked at the few people in charge with tension and fear.
The atmosphere was so tense that no one spoke, except for a soft sigh.
"Sigh~"
"Gentlemen, based on our assessment, if we are not mistaken, the situation is indeed as you just said, and it is indeed serious!"
"ah!"
"What should we do?"
"Yes, we thought we'd have some hope once the fog cleared, but it turns out this was caused by a volcano."
"Now that the ship's navigation guide has been restored, can we get back on track?"
"No, you're confused. They already said that."
The situation stalled again, and the warships received the latest news around dinner time.
We also spent half the night discussing what to do next with several people in charge.
Luo Yin, who had been sleeping, was woken up by Sister You.
She was told to get up and eat, so she wouldn't sleep too much and have trouble sleeping at night. Luo Yin, holding her lunchbox, wanted to go out for some fresh air.
"You have to wear your military overcoat properly before you go out."
Sister You treated it like her own daughter, saying, "Sister You, where did this come from that big?"
The clothes looked like floor-length slippers on her.
"Xia gave it to you. You should wear it if you go out, it's very cold outside."
"Okay, I'll wear it!" She thought she should thank Xia Ge later; he was a really nice guy.
The two successfully passed through the cabin and arrived on the deck, where they saw that the outside was brightly lit and many people were busy with something.
Luo Yin looked around, took a deep breath of fresh air, and her appetite returned.
"Hey, Xiao Luo, you're up! How are you feeling?"
When someone saw her appear, they quickly waved for her to come over.
"I'm fine now, full of energy, and there's nothing wrong with me at all." She smiled and raised her fist to indicate that everything was alright.
"That's great. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come, sit down, there's a small stool here."
Seeing this, You Lizhu told her to stay put and not run around.
Luo Yin nodded to indicate that she was obedient, and then asked Xu Hongze, "Thank you, Brother Xu. What are they doing now?"
She sat down on the side, opened her lunchbox, and asked questions while eating.
Technician Xu was Shi Lao's student. He was writing something at the moment. Hearing her words, he turned around and looked at her.
"Oh, so they're assessing the current situation around here?"
Luo Yin swallowed her food. "Oh, what do you mean?"
"I forgot you don't know, but this afternoon we already estimated where we are. Do you know the Thousand Islands where the Philippines is located?"
"The Thousand Islands?"
"Does it mean there are many small and large islands? The Philippines, wouldn't that be the territory of other countries? Wouldn't we be in great danger right now?"
Luo Yin immediately realized the danger they were in and looked at him.
"Yes, it is said that there are many island chiefs in the Thousand Islands, and even the lair of the pirates who chased us before is up there."
"Oh my god, that's outrageous!" Wouldn't they be like lambs to the slaughter?
Luo Yin was so shocked that she forgot to eat.
"That's right, let me tell you..."
Before he could even speak, someone on the ship suddenly exclaimed, "An unidentified vessel is approaching on the right! Be on guard!"
"Beep beep beep beep~"
"Enemy attack!"
