He was contemplating whether to leave this place with Jiang Fan and the others.
However, leaving the jungle above was already an unrealistic prospect, as the jungle in the sky didn't seem like an exit at all; even getting up there seemed incredibly improbable.
Yet, Jiang Fan and the others were very curious about why the world above had become this way.
But since they couldn't ascend anymore, they had no choice but to accept this reality and remain in the dark.
After resting for a day, they planned to build a small boat and set sail to find the so-called exit.
Due to the large number of people, the boat was quickly constructed. Jiang Fan and Dai Xiaomei sat on opposite sides, paddling the water.
Gun Gun sat at the very back to stabilize everyone's center of gravity, preventing the front or back from becoming too heavy, which would cause the boat to sink. Since it was temporarily built, its safety performance wasn't that strong.
The only guarantee was that it could float on the sea and wouldn't easily break.
"It doesn't look like an exit at all. Even if we paddle until next year across this boundless sea, we won't get out," Zhou Niannian, who had only been on the boat for a short while, was already getting restless.
It wasn't that she was being fussy, but her body simply couldn't take it. Seeing her expression, Jiang Fan immediately knew what she wanted.
"If it's really unbearable, we can just circle around here and see if there are any suspicious clues. If we continue forward and encounter any danger, it will be troublesome to return."
In this environment, people with thalassophobia couldn't stay easily. The boundless sea offered no support, making it harder than climbing to heaven to find any anchor points.
If they capsized here, or fell into the deep sea, they wouldn't survive. Trying to swim across would be a pipe dream.
"That's right, I also think we should just circle around. If we really can't find any clues, we can come back another day."
Seeing Zhou Niannian frowning continuously and looking very uncomfortable, Jiang Fan nodded slightly.
Fortunately, Dai Xiaomei wasn't seasick.
Otherwise, if two seasick people were together, seeing each other's condition would quickly make them both throw up.
Compared to Zhou Niannian, Dai Xiaomei appeared incredibly calm and was even trying to fish on the boat.
However, fishing here was different from fishing by the sea. The creatures here were closer to the seabed, so it wasn't easy to catch fish.
"It's really hard to fish here. Without bait, it's impossible to lure them up," Dai Xiaomei muttered to herself. She had originally intended to say this to Zhou Niannian, but Zhou Niannian felt nauseous just thinking about the fish.
It wasn't that Zhou Niannian disliked fish, but thinking about food made her feel extremely unwell.
Just then, a rainbow suddenly sprayed out of Zhou Niannian's mouth.
"Ugh!"
With a "wow," the clear blue sea turned into a murky mess.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan quickly grabbed a tissue and went to Zhou Niannian's side to wipe her mouth, patting her back.
Fortunately, Jiang Fan had prepared everything he might need before setting out, including coconut water.
Seeing how uncomfortable Zhou Niannian was, he immediately opened his bottle of coconut water and handed it to her.
Although this bottle was Jiang Fan's personal one, Zhou Niannian didn't hesitate. She directly opened the cap and gulped it down.
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream were delighted.
"LOL, Sister Zhou has lost all her dignity this time!"
"My Sister Zhou's image has finally cracked!"
"But poor Jiang Fan. Look at his bottle. If I remember correctly, this is the bottle he uses to drink water, and now Zhou Niannian drank from it."
"Considering that Zhou Niannian just sprayed a rainbow from her mouth."
"LOL, Zhou Niannian can get seasick on such a small boat."
In fact, Jiang Fan himself was struggling to suppress his laughter.
Seeing Zhou Niannian, who was usually so lively on land, now looking so frail created a stark contrast that Jiang Fan found quite amusing.
"What's so funny? I just get seasick. Everyone gets seasick. I just get seasick faster. If you keep laughing, I'll get angry."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan pointed at the murky water and said,
"I'm not laughing. I'm just admiring you. After all, you responded immediately to what Dai Xiaomei said."
"Dai Xiaomei, you should know where to fish now, right? Zhou Niannian has made a huge contribution to your baiting efforts."
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaomei reacted and looked back, only to see that the murky water was actually full of fish.
"Wow, this is amazing!"
It was evident that Dai Xiaomei truly admired Zhou Niannian, as she believed Zhou Niannian had deliberately vomited to attract the fish.
However, seeing her expression, Jiang Fan laughed even harder. Even Yao, standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle at Dai Xiaomei's amusing reaction.
"This is too funny."
Zhou Niannian playfully slapped Jiang Fan's arm.
She seemed to be embarrassed, but undeniably, the murky water had attracted many aquatic creatures, all of whom were voraciously eating what Zhou Niannian had vomited.
Although it was a bit gross, it didn't prevent Dai Xiaomei from catching all the fish.
"See? We're returning with a full catch!"
"We were initially planning to go sea foraging for shells and other things to eat later, but I didn't expect we'd have such a sumptuous dinner."
Dai Xiaomei said this with a proud expression, completely unsuspecting of Zhou Niannian's actions.
She genuinely believed Zhou Niannian was earnestly helping her lure the fish.
However, it was undeniable that they had indeed harvested a significant amount of seafood.
