People with planks or life-saving tools are floating on the sea.
Those who survived felt a sense of relief, but their minds were far from objective. If they hadn't encountered a passing ship to rescue them, they wouldn't have survived for more than two days. If a storm came, they would have died even faster.
Fortunately, the sea is calm now, with few waves. They're almost at shore, and there's a good chance they'll encounter a passing ship, which would save them.
They hoped that dawn would come quickly, because perhaps ships would pass by then.
But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they heard someone scream, and then they saw the person struggling to be dragged into the water and disappear from sight.
Those floating on the sea were startled, realizing that an even greater danger was approaching.
Suddenly, Liu Shijie, who was clinging to a piece of wood and floating on the water, shouted, "Big brother, save me! Big brother, save me!"
Just as Liu Shichun, who was next to his younger brother, was about to grab him, he saw his brother struggle and be dragged into the water.
Liu Shichun shouted in fear, "Shijie, Shijie!"
Soon, people were dragged into the water one after another, screams rose and fell, and the sea was filled with cries and shouts.
The seawater seemed to have deepened in color; those who knew understood that it was the blood that had darkened the seawater.
The seawater reeked of blood. This smell would attract even more large creatures.
The scorpion was floating on the sea surface with the help of a wooden table. He immediately realized that they had encountered a shark or some other dangerous sea creature. He trembled and tried his best to climb onto the table.
But a small square table couldn't support his massive size; the table was always unstable in the water, and the scorpion kept slipping into the water. His fear drove him to crawl incessantly, as if he could escape his fate simply by staying out of the water.
But the giant creatures in the sea seemed to be gathering in ever-increasing numbers, while the screams were becoming fewer and fewer, because people were disappearing one by one.
The scorpion's square table was suddenly bumped by something in the water, and the scorpion lost its balance and slipped back into the water, where something then bit its leg.
The scorpion felt the fear of death and struggled desperately to climb onto the table. At that moment, he was filled with regret. Why had he sought revenge against Han Yixian? If he hadn't, he could have lived a peaceful life in Kyoto.
It was too late for regrets, as he had already been dragged into the water. His leg was bitten off by sharp teeth, and excruciating pain shot through him. He felt his strength waning and waning, and he had no choice but to give up.
He thought to himself that with Han Yixian's child dead, he had finally gotten his revenge. Han Yixian's wife dying alongside him today was a form of burial, and he felt he had gotten his just desserts.
Little did they know that the person they thought was dead was actually looking at their sea with binoculars.
The sea gradually calmed down, and not a single person could be found. He Yuhan was certain that the scorpions could no longer threaten them. Her heart finally settled.
Now she needs to go into her space to check on her child. If the little one is hungry or won't see her for a long time, he will cry, and she can't bear to see her son cry.
After entering the space, He Yuhan went to the bedroom to check on her son. She found that the little guy was already awake and playing by himself.
Seeing her son whimpering, He Yuhan quickly helped him urinate, cleaned him up, played with him for a while, and fed him some milk. Seeing that her son was alright, He Yuhan felt relieved.
After that, He Yuhan pondered her current location. She didn't know where she was, but she really wanted to get ashore as soon as possible.
After putting her son to sleep, He Yuhan left the space. She took out her instrument to determine the direction and then steered the speedboat towards the land.
Fortunately, the sea was calm today, and the moonlight increased visibility. He Yuhan checked with binoculars from time to time, so there was no danger.
After sailing for more than an hour, He Yuhan finally saw land through her binoculars. She was overjoyed. Once they were on land, everything would be much easier.
As they approached land, He Yuhan realized through her binoculars that it was a small island, not a mainland at all. However, she suspected there might be people on the island, and she could likely pinpoint their exact location.
When they were almost at the shore, He Yuhan switched to a small boat, which was safer.
The small boat finally reached the shore. He Yuhan jumped off the boat and then put it away.
The place where she landed seemed quite desolate, and she didn't know if there was anyone on the island.
He Yuhan was fully armed, covering herself up completely and spraying herself with some insect repellent before walking through the weeds.
He Yuhan walked for more than half an hour in the night before she saw lights, which seemed to bring her hope. After walking for another half hour, He Yuhan finally saw a path, which seemed to lead to a village.
He Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the village, which meant that the island was inhabited and not deserted. She had finally entered the world of human civilization.
The weather was hot and humid. He Yuhan knew she had arrived in the south, but she didn't know which province. She could ask when it got light.
He Yuhan took a shower and changed her clothes in the space before leaving. She didn't plan to go directly to the people in the village; she wanted to observe them from the shadows first.
He Yuhan was very wary of the people on the ship that was picking up Scorpion, as she overheard that their hideout was on an island.
Although there are people on this island, who can guarantee they are good people? What if they are bad people? She needs to be extra careful.
He Yuhan approached the village quietly, without entering, fearing that the dogs in the village might give her away. She found a large tree with dense foliage near the village; hiding in the canopy of the tree should prevent her from being discovered.
He Yuhan nimbly climbed the tree, and after daybreak she could observe the situation in the village from there.
Sitting in the tree canopy, He Yuhan entered the space. After seeing that her son was sleeping soundly, she went to bed to rest. She was quite tired that night.
He Yuhan thought about how worried her family must be after she and her child were taken away by the scorpion. She had to find a way to contact her family and at least let them know that she and her child were safe and sound so they could rest assured.
Writing letters or making phone calls is no longer an option. She does have a radio station in her online space, but she doesn't want to use it to contact her family unless absolutely necessary. It's a sensitive topic, and it's difficult to explain where she got the radio station.
She fell asleep while thinking about it. Today had been so thrilling and exciting, and she was exhausted.
He Yuhan was woken up by her son's crying. She quickly got up, changed his diaper, and made him a bottle of milk.
The little one stopped crying when he saw that his mother had food again.
After comforting her son, He Yuhan washed up and went to the kitchen to make herself something to eat. Her stomach had been rumbling for a while.
After finishing breakfast, He Yuhan checked the time; it should be well past dawn. She quickly dressed in camouflage and left the space, appearing silently in the canopy of a large tree.
