Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
Traveling from Country Y back to China by the small cruise ship would actually take about 13 days, given the vessel's speed and the required route.
This was primarily because the small ship could only navigate shallower waters near the coast; it couldn't venture into deeper seas for fear of encountering waves and storms that the small vessel wouldn't be able to handle.
However, with Aloshi around, they could easily avoid the storms, or even calm them down and sail straight through.
Because of this, the travel time could be compressed to 10 days.
Assistant Xiao Yu was once again discussing with Ming Chu whether they should risk passing through a canyon.
"Passing through this canyon could save us another two days. We've already been traveling for three days, which means we could reach China in just five more," Assistant Xiao Yu said, listing the benefits before mentioning the drawbacks.
"The situation in the canyon is extremely complex. Many ships have hit reefs there in the past, and I'm not confident I can navigate it."
Ming Chu understood: "But you think Aloshi would be confident, right?"
Assistant Xiao Yu gave a shy smile, then added with concern, "Satellite signals are getting weaker and more chaotic. I'm worried about the situation back in China, and it would be better if we could get back sooner."
That was true.
For Ming Chu, she also hoped to reach China and see the current situation for herself.
In this regard, Ming Chu and Assistant Xiao Yu had reached a consensus.
All that remained was to find Aloshi.
Aloshi waved off the idea of going through the canyon and agreed immediately: "Sure, getting back sooner is better. By the way, here is the fresh water you wanted."
