Chapter 856

Blue swam in circles, sending mist into the air and calling out across the water.

Her earlier cries were mournful. These sounded almost cheerful.

Nicole couldn’t understand her, but the change in her mood was unmistakable.

The calls grew fainter as Blue’s enormous shape receded into the distance. The four watched her go, then settled on the deck to enjoy the sunshine.

Poppy rested her chin in her hands, the sea breeze brushing her face as she gazed at the horizon.

“Zeph, Nicole, where do we go now?”

Nicole didn’t know what to tell her.

They were well into their journey at sea and met all kinds of survivors along the way. Some died, while others went their separate ways. She still had no idea where they could settle down.

More than anything, she wanted to live on solid ground again.

Zeph was just as uncertain. “Let’s get out of these waters first. We can figure out the rest along the way.”

Their time at sea taught them plenty about staying alive.

The unpredictable currents here could turn a change in the weather into a disaster. Countless survivors already lost their lives in these waters. Once they reached a calmer stretch of ocean, they could decide what came next.

Everyone agreed, and they set off right away.

They traveled in stages, finally leaving the treacherous waters behind three days later.

Long stretches underwater wore on all of them.

Now that Poppy knew about the storage space, Nicole could use it openly. Whenever possible, they spent half an hour inside each day.

They walked on the grass, picked fruit and vegetables, or tended the medicinal herbs.

Those short breaks helped everyone relax. Even back aboard the submarine at night, they found plenty to laugh

about.

On clear days, they checked their surroundings through the periscope. If the coast was clear, they surfaced for

some fresh air.

They set up a patio umbrella and a table on deck, enjoying afternoon tea in the sea breeze.

Poppy was stretched out on a lounge chair, snacking on chicken wings, when something overhead caught her

attention.

“Zeph, Nicole, what’s that?”

An enormous airship drifted across the sky.

Nicole associated passenger airships that size with the early days of aviation. She never expected to see one in

service.

“It’s a zeppelin,” Zeph told Poppy. “Gas inside that big envelope keeps it in the air. The largest ones can carry a lot of people.”

Poppy stared up in amazement. “Could it fall out of the sky?”

“They can stay up for a long time, but a fire or a gas leak could bring one down.”

After so many disasters, no way of traveling was entirely safe. Luck still played a part in how long anyone

survived.

All four kept looking up as the airship crept across the sky and finally disappeared. 1

They stayed on deck to watch the sunset, then went below and continued their journey.

The ocean seemed endless, and the days blurred together.

They spent another month traveling underwater, taking regular breaks in the storage space, enjoying good meals, and playing the occasional game of cards. Keeping track of the days grew tedious, but they were all holding up well.

One afternoon, while Nicole napped, the submarine detected several obstacles ahead.
