Because the island is located in the far south, no matter which way you go, you are basically heading north.
Fortunately, before Lu Yuan left, his father took him to a place, pointed into the distance, and said that was where Xiao Shan left.
Lu Yuan finally had a better idea of what to do.
Let's go! Keep going forward! I'll definitely catch up with you!
Determined to find Xiao Shan, Lu Yuan traveled quickly.
This time, only Da Huang accompanied Lu Yuan. He didn't bring anyone else because he didn't want to waste time using his own dimensional space on the way. But Da Huang didn't need to worry, since it was just a dog and wouldn't tell anyone even if it knew Lu Yuan's secret.
The boat was moving very fast; Lu Yuan practically flew the speedboat.
However, in the vast ocean, he still lacked a sense of direction and could only keep driving forward.
After driving for about a day, Lu Yuan's two tanks of gas were completely empty. Fortunately, he had spare gas cans, dozens of tons of gasoline in his dimensional space, and a large boat in the pond with about a hundred tons of oil, enough for him to travel a long distance.
Tired from driving, Lu Yuan stopped the boat. There were no islands nearby. To keep the boat heading in one direction, he made a mark on the compass to prevent the boat from being turned around by the waves and losing its way.
After eating something, the man and the dog lay down on the boat for a short rest before setting sail again.
It wasn't until the morning of the second day that Lu Yuan could vaguely see a few ships in the distance.
"Great! There's a boat!"
Lu Yuan excitedly steered the boat towards Xiao Shan, intending to inquire about her whereabouts.
Before even getting close to the large ship, Lu Yuan saw several people appear on the side of the ship's side, holding guns and looking at him warily.
What do you do?
"Hello, I'm just passing by and I'd like to ask you something?"
When the crew members heard that they wanted to inquire about something, they immediately became suspicious.
"Why is this guy out alone in this little speedboat? Is he a pirate?"
"It shouldn't be. Look at him, he doesn't look like a pirate."
"Let's be careful! Pirates like to come by in small boats to gather information, so we should be cautious! We mustn't fall into their trap!"
The group whispered among themselves for a while, then spoke to Lu Yuan.
What do you want to know?
"Oh! I just wanted to ask if you've encountered a single ship recently!"
Then Lu Yuan told the other party about the boat that Xiao Shan and the others had taken.
After hearing this, the crew members felt a little relieved to see that Lu Yuan had no intention of boarding the ship.
"No, but I think I've seen the ship ahead before; I've heard them mention it! Why don't you go ask them on that ship?"
Lu Yuan was overjoyed, thanked them, and then steered his boat to catch up with the large ship ahead.
The lead ship was a cruise ship fully loaded with containers, flying many flags, making it impossible to determine its country of origin.
Once they reached the bottom of the ship, Lu Yuan shouted for a while and saw a man in tattered work clothes leaning over the side of the ship and looking around.
"Huh? What do you do?"
So Lu Yuan had no choice but to repeat the question he had just asked.
The man pondered for a while after listening.
"There was such a ship, a strange-looking tin boat, without any paint, with only a dozen or so people on board! They were all emaciated and pale, and one of them was about to die. They came to my ship and borrowed some medicine!"
Lu Yuan was startled upon hearing this and quickly asked, "When did you see them? Do you even know which way they went?"
"About a week ago! As for the direction... it might be hard to find!"
"What does this mean?" Lu Yuan's heart sank.
"Because they had run out of fuel, they had no choice but to hoist the sails and go! As you know, the winds at sea are very unpredictable! Sometimes it's an east wind, sometimes a west wind, and nobody knows where they'll be blown to!"
Lu Yuan stood there, stunned. He looked around. A week was definitely enough time for a ship without power to drift a great distance. This large area in front of him was definitely not where they were. After all, the large ship had seen them a week ago.
So Lu Yuan asked again, "Do you remember where you were at the time?"
A smile appeared on the man's face: "Wait a moment, I'll go check the nautical chart!"
"Thank you!" Lu Yuan said sincerely.
The man didn't seem to care: "It's alright, we're all living in the apocalypse! We'll help each other out if we can!"
The two looked at each other from across the boat, but Lu Yuan saw a trace of pain in his eyes.
"Sigh, to be honest, the reason I came out this time is to find my family! I went out to sea and lost my home. I've been at sea for several years now, and if I can't find my family, I don't think I can hold on any longer!"
"Brother, as long as you persevere, you will definitely find your family!" Lu Yuan comforted him. They had the same experience, and Lu Yuan understood this feeling all too well.
The man smiled and said to Lu Yuan, "Young man, here's some fuel for you! I hope you find your family soon!"
"Thank you!" Lu Yuan did not refuse. After all, although he had plenty of fuel, if he really found Xiao Shan and the others, there would be more than ten people, and they would have to change boats.
The man carried two barrels of gasoline down the rope, and Lu Yuan carried the barrels onto the speedboat. Then he tied a bag of fresh meat and vegetables to the rope.
