The woman held the rope with one hand and tugged the plastic board with the other. Moving with the rope, she and the man on the plastic board were pulled towards the raft.
When they were still about two hundred meters away, Ni Qi shouted immediately, "Stop pulling, let’s ask first."
Ma Ji and Zhong Shan both stopped, and Ni Qi shouted towards them, "Hey, beauty, who are you? Why are you in the water?"
Wang Xiaoya hastily shouted, "We’re being chased, my surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Xiaoya. This is my friend Tu Long. There are bad people on the ship behind us, they killed my family, and now they’re trying to kill us too."
Chang Yan and Ni Qi exchanged glances, the woman’s story was somewhat consistent with their guesses.
Chang Yan immediately shouted, "Where are you going?"
"Yangshan, we’re heading to Yangshan. Are you going to Yangshan too? Brother Tu Long said there’s a shelter in Yangshan. Brother Tu Long is from the shelter. If you can take us to Yangshan, we’ll be safe."
Ni Qi instantly showed joy and said to Chang Yan, "They really are from Yangshan."
Ma Ji quickly said, "She mentioned a shelter in Yangshan. Does that mean someone has already established a shelter there?"
"Can we trust what she says?" Zhong Shan asked hesitantly.
Chang Yan thought for a moment and then said, "In any case, we are heading to Yangshan. Yangshan is just ahead of us, and if what she says is true, then having people from the Yangshan Shelter guide us will make it easier to get there."
"No matter what, let’s bring them with us, but stay cautious and keep them at a distance."
They all nodded in agreement.
Chang Yan shouted again to Wang Xiaoya, "What’s wrong with your companion? Is he injured? Is it serious?"
Wang Xiaoya shouted, "He’s passed out. His wound has stopped bleeding, but he needs treatment. Once we get to Yangshan, there should be a way to heal him."
Chang Yan said, "Our raft is not big, we can’t bring you both on board. Just follow us."
Wang Xiaoya nodded anxiously, "Alright, but please speed up. There are very powerful superpower users on the freighter behind us. If they get close, we’ll be in danger."
Chang Yan and Ni Qi exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
"Okay, let’s go now."
The boys all started rowing together.
The raft, with Wang Xiaoya and Tu Long following behind, quickly floated towards Yangshan.
Taking this opportunity, Wang Xiaoya caught a mutant fish in the water, cleaned it a little, and then started eating it raw.
She had no choice. She had exhausted her superpower energy and physical strength while escaping.
Now, with nothing in her stomach, she was extremely hungry.
At this moment, she could only eat raw fish to fill her stomach.
Seeing this, Chang Yan visibly relaxed a bit.
Ni Qi noticed and asked, "Chang Yan, what did you discover?"
Chang Yan said, "She probably isn’t a bad person."
While rowing the raft, Ma Ji asked, "How do you know?"
"She didn’t ask us for food, she caught and ate a fish raw instead."
"Ah? So ruthless?" Ma Ji turned back to take a look and exclaimed, "What a tough person."
Zhong Shan, with a slightly chubby face, smiled, "She’d rather eat raw fish than ask us for food. She doesn’t seem like a bad person."
Ni Qi also nodded slightly, somewhat recognizing Wang Xiaoya’s character.
Chang Yan said, "But don’t let your guard down. Let’s be careful. We’ll see when we get to Yangshan. We are four, and they are only two, with one of them injured. We’re still in control."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Ni Qi still said, "I’ll send them some food."
Ma Ji couldn’t help but say, "We don’t have much food left. The Yangshan Shelter might not have food either."
Ni Qi said, "We’ll be there soon. We can at least catch fish to eat. They have an injured person there."
Chang Yan nodded slightly, "If we have bread, give them a piece."
Ni Qi took a small piece of bread out of his pocket and then used his superpower. The small piece of bread instantly expanded, becoming as large as a sea bowl.
Then he shouted to Wang Xiaoya, "Hey, Sister Xiaoya, we have some bread here. Do you need it?"
Wang Xiaoya, hearing this, quickly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, thank you! Brother Tu Long is unconscious and can’t eat fish. Bread would be great."
"Wait a moment," Ni Qi said, then looked at Ma Ji.
Ma Ji nodded, picked up the bread, and with a leap, ran a circle on the water.
He handed the bread to Wang Xiaoya and quickly returned to the raft.
The whole process was very fast, causing Wang Xiaoya to exclaim, "So fast!"
Ma Ji chuckled, "Sister Xiaoya, are you a superpower user too?"
Wang Xiaoya smiled and said, "Yes, I’m a water attribute superpower user. I can manipulate water, but I exhausted my superpower energy in the water earlier and need to rest for a while."
"Once I recover, I can help you row the raft."
Her straightforwardness won the favor of Chang Yan, Ni Qi, and the others once again.
As they talked, the ship’s horn sounded again from the distant horizon.
They saw the freighter getting closer to them.
Wang Xiaoya’s expression changed instantly, "Oh no, they’ve sped up."
Chang Yan’s expression also changed slightly, "Quick, let’s speed up too."
"Okay!"
Ni Qi, Ma Ji, and Zhong Shan nodded together and began rowing the raft with all their might.
The raft sped up, quickly drifting towards Yangshan.
On the Firebird, in the captain’s cabin, Brother Huo was playing with a crimson superpower stone, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
