Chapter 341 Captured by Pirates

“We have to leave here, or we’ll die. Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.”

Alita relented.

Relying on the compass, they headed cast.

Using planks as oars, the two of them paddled together. Though they looked wretched, their faces showed no sign of giving up.

They ate the fruit they had salvaged sparingly. Occasionally, Alita would use her excellent swimming skills to get in the water and catch fish. She had a sharp dagger in the backpack she carried. She cut the fish open directly and ate it raw.

The backpack was waterproof. Inside were a lighter, bandages, herbs she had prepared in advance, and other items, all of which were precious on the island.

Alita was a little surprised. “No wonder you wouldn’t let go of this backpack even when you were unconscious!”

“Of course. This is my treasure bag.”

“As expected of Dr. Tatiana!”

The two of them were deliberately speaking this way to keep their spirits up morale dropped, they would be lost at sea for good.

Tatiana’s lips were dry and peeling. She shielded her eyes with her hand and looked at the sky. The sun was blazing, with no sign of rain.

Alita felt like her throat was on fire. She lay on the plank, barely consc

Tatiana noticed her expression wasn’t right. She moved closer and touched her forehead. It was scalding.

“You have a fever!”

Alita mumbled, “No I don’t. I’m just a little hot, it’s nothing.”

“How could you suddenly get a fever… Are you injured?”

A trace of guilt flashed in Alita’s eyes. “I’m not injured!”

Tatiana understood. She moved to check and, sure enough, found a red, swollen, and festering wound on her thigh. It looked as if the flesh had been pierced by a sharp object. Soaking in seawater for days had caused the wound to get infected.

“Why didn’t you say you were injured?”

“It doesn’t hurt. Don’t waste the medicine, your medicine is precious.”

Tatiana was exasperated, but her heart ached for her. “You fool! Your life is more valuable than medicine!”

She quickly treated Alita’s wound.

It had been left for too long; a piece of flesh on her thigh had

rotted.

“Brace yourself.”

She sterilized the dagger with the lighter, then quickly, precisely, and ruthlessly scraped away the rotten flesh, draining the pus and blood. Worried the scent of blood would attract sharks, she even took off her own jacket to catch the flesh and blood, bundling it up.

She applied medicine to the wound and bandaged it.

Alita didn’t make a sound during the entire process, though she almost fainted from the pain.

“Are you okay?”

“I… I almost… saw the sea god. The sea god said it wasn’t my time, so he pushed me back.”

Tatiana couldn’t help but smile. “Well, you’d better hold on.”

The islanders had robust vitality and strong physiques. The weak ones had died young long ago; those who survived were all strong.

After taking the medicine, Alita’s fever quickly broke, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Tatiana’s smile faded. Her heart heavy, she stared at the endless sea, feeling a deep sense of uncertainty.

If they kept drifting like this, they would really die.

And there was still no sight of land.

They hadn’t even encountered a passing ship.

Worse, the compass was broken. She hadn’t told Alita, not wanting her to panic.

She didn’t believe in gods, but at this moment, she wanted to pray to the sea god not to let them die here. If she got out alive, she would definitely make many offerings in the future.

Perhaps her prayer was answered. She finally saw a ship passing by!

“Alita! Wake up! A ship!”

She tore her jacket, waving it desperately. “Here! Someone’s here!!”

The ship noticed them and slowly moved over.

But Alita yanked on Tatiana’s clothes. “No! Stop! Don’t draw them over!”

Too late.

Tatiana never in her life imagined she would be captured by pirates.
