The two of them drifted for six days and had now moved a great distance from where they had first landed. The ocean was wide and boundless. Locating them was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Their chance of survival was far too small.
In other words, it was realistically unlikely for anyone to rescue them.
Although they had eaten some food, they were both extremely thirsty and were barely alive!
Bai Qinghao also felt very helpless. He spoke up hoarsely. “Xinxin…”
His voice could barely be heard.
“En?” Likewise, she could only respond weakly.
He touched her lip. “Drink some of my blood… bite me.”
Speaking a few words had already exhausted nearly all his energy.
She leaned against his shoulder and lifted her head with some difficulty. Her lips were dry and cracked. “I would rather die.”
He closed his eyes helplessly. “I can’t bear for you to die. But I’m sure I would be very happy if I died with you…”
Soon, he could not speak any further.
Several hours later, both of them were thoroughly dehydrated.
Bai Qinghao watched as Fang Xinxin’s eyes closed. “Xinxin, you can’t sleep…”
If she slept now, she would never wake again!
“Bai Qinghao, I can’t hold on any longer…” She was nearly on her last breath.
Although he was her husband, at times, she preferred addressing him by his name.
This was because he was the one and only Bai Qinghao.
In the past six days, his injuries had recovered significantly. However, as they barely ate or drank, his willpower was also depleting.
It seemed like God intended on starving them to death just like this.
All of a sudden, Fang Xinxin noticed something soaring across the sky. She seemed to have found hope as she gained the strength to tilt her head backwards. “Is that a plane?”
“No.” Bai Qinghao shook his head. His voice was as light as a breath. “It’s a seagull.” His pitiful wife mistook a little bird for a plane. It was likely she was hallucinating.
“So it’s not a plane.” Her shoulders drooped.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She opened the first aid kit and retrieved a few fever reducing pills. She then activated her special powers and sent it flying in the direction of the seagull.
If this had been any other time, she would have successfully taken the bird down.
However, in her weak and dying state, her concentration was much weaker.
Although the pills found their target, the bird only swayed for a moment before continuing on its flight.
“Don’t run away!” She gasped in regret. That was a source of food.
In the next moment, Bai Qinghao had tossed a surgical knife out. It accurately hit the seagull’s body.
It fell into the ocean with a splash.
Fang Xinxin did not expect Bai Qinghao to be this skilled. She was deeply moved and kissed him on the cheek. “Hubby, you’re amazing!”
Bai Qinghao was somewhat embarrassed by her praise. “Let’s go pick it up.”
The two of them used all their strength to swim towards the floating bird. It was still warm when they picked it up.
They retrieved the surgical knife and immediately took turns to drink the warm seagull’s blood.
The taste was unpleasant and most people would have trouble swallowing it. Still, it was extremely delicious to them.
They thoroughly drained the carcass of its blood.
Finally, they seemed to have come back to life now that their thirst was slightly eased..
