At this moment, the water in the secret compartment had risen to Jia Wenjun's knees as she stood on the carpet.

It had been at this height for a while, and she knew this was likely the maximum the tide would rise inside the boat.

Fortunately, this was the bow of the boat. The water wouldn't be as deep as in the storage room at the stern, where it would be over one's head. Jia Wenjun felt relieved. Moreover, knowing the maximum water level, she had a better sense of the situation.

Previously, she didn't know the maximum height of the tide, so she worried the boat would be submerged and sink. But now she was sure that as the tide receded, the water in the boat would also recede. So even with more tides coming in and out, the boat wouldn't sink or be submerged.

As long as she found enough food to last until the coast guard came to rescue them, she could survive.

The people sheltering from the rain on the deck were all huddled together, freezing. When they came, they were dressed in early summer clothes, and no one had expected to encounter such a thing.

Except for Jia Wenjun, who had been sea fishing and knew that the weather at sea could change in an instant, and was wearing a windproof and cold-resistant sea fishing jacket. The other women were mostly wearing short-sleeved t-shirts or various skirts and shorts, at most a thin long-sleeved shirt for sun protection. So by the second half of the night, those huddled on the deck and in the ship's corridors were freezing.

Hao Jie Ningning touched her son, who was sleeping groggily, and found his forehead was a little hot.

She was shocked. Could he have a fever from the cold?

When the sky turned pale, the wind and rain stopped abruptly.

But a layer of purple mist had formed over the sea, surrounding the boat.

Experienced fishermen knew that inhaling this mist was very bad for the body, and it also increased the humidity in the air, making the temperature even lower.

Everyone was cold and hungry, and Hao Jie Ningning, worried about her son, was the first to explode.

"Those two bitches inside, I don't believe they won't come out!" Hao Jie Ning gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger that could burn through the door of room seven.

Bai Ma Shan and Grandpa Wang had taken care of the two injured people all night and were exhausted. The main problem was that there were too many injured people now, and the medicine was running out.

Before, only Gong Dalong was injured, so most of the medicine was kept in room seven. Now that Sun Jiao Jiao wasn't opening the door, Anna's head injury looked okay, but it was hard to say about Lü Mao Wang.

The choking miasma on the sea and the salty saliva in their mouths made everyone even more thirsty.

"Mommy, I want to drink water," Nao Nao murmured in Hao Jie Ning's arms, opening his eyes slightly.

The child's forehead and neck were very hot. After tossing and turning all night, he had unsurprisingly developed a fever.

Seeing Nao Nao's chapped lips, Hao Jie Ning shouted at Hu Si Xiang to quickly get today's food and water.

Food and water were scarce now. The others wouldn't let the couple take as much as they wanted.

Everyone gathered around, deciding to let Bai Ma Shan distribute it.

Bai Ma Shan, in front of everyone, redistributed the two buckets of water, biscuits, and ham that were in room six. Although Anna and Lü Mao Wang were still unconscious, Bai Ma Shan still left them their share for the day. His impartial and selfless attitude, even though he often didn't stand with Lili and Hu Si Xiang in many situations, still allowed him to gain everyone's trust and become the backbone of the group.

After everyone was given a bottle of water and a little food, the remaining food was barely enough for the next day.

To quickly bring down her son's fever, Hao Jie Ning gave all the water to the child, only taking a small sip herself before daring not to drink any more.

"If no one comes to save us by tomorrow, what will we do?" Teacher Lin murmured, holding the food in her hand.

No one could answer this question. Everyone was reluctant to eat all the water and food at once, because they all understood that without food, they wouldn't be able to hold out until the rescue came.

"We should have used a basin to collect some rainwater last night, so we could have some fresh water reserves. Now, everyone's just waiting to die of thirst." Lili's tone was full of complaints, but she didn't know who to complain to, only wanting to vent the frustration in her heart.

"You're just wise after the event. Why didn't you mention it last night when it was raining so hard?" Grandpa Wang retorted directly, not used to her.

Yesterday's torrential rain, lightning, and thunder, plus the accident, no one on the boat thought of collecting rainwater as a freshwater reserve. Since the opportunity had been missed, saying it now, besides making everyone more irritable, was useless. Everyone was in a bad mood, and no one was obliged to listen to anyone's complaints.

Seeing that the child had drunk all the fresh water, and thinking of Sun Jiao Jiao monopolizing half the water and food, Hao Jie Ning continued to curse at Sun Jiao Jiao's room.

"You pair of bitches, you might as well die inside and never come out, or I'll kill you." Hao Jie Ning cursed while looking at the child's flushed face, becoming anxious and angry, and finally simply kicked Hu Si Xiang in the back as he sat on the ground.

"The child has a fever, and he's cold and hungry. Are you deaf or mute?! Go take the door off and get the antipyretic medicine!"

If it had been before, he would have slapped Hao Jie Ning after such a kick.

But now, seeing the child burning up like this, he was also anxious. The fire smoldering in his heart was directly turned into a raging fire by Hao Jie Ning's kick.

He got up, broke off a piece of wood with sharp thorns from the cracked deck, and rushed to Sun Jiao Jiao and Gong Dalong's door with the plank.

"Damn it, give me the medicine!" Hu Si Xiang roared twice, gritting his teeth and inserting the pointed wooden strip into the door缝里, stepped on the cabin wall with one foot, held the doorknob with one hand, and forcefully inserted the wooden strip with the other, trying to pry open the door.

Bai Ma Shan and Grandpa Wang didn't stop him. After all, Nao Nao had a fever, and Sun Jiao Jiao's actions were too much. Now, all kinds of resources on the ship were very tight, especially medicine.

It must be said that the workmanship of the parts on this yacht was really good. Even with all the hammering, kicking, and prying, the door still didn't open.

"Jiao Jiao, or else we " Gong Dalong actually felt that Sun Jiao Jiao's monopolizing half of the resources was not a good thing. It wasn't that he was so noble, but he was afraid that by doing such a hateful thing, in his current situation, he wouldn't even have the ability to fight back if someone retaliated against him later.

Gong Dalong was interrupted by Sun Jiao Jiao before he could finish speaking: "Shut up, or do you believe I'll starve you to death?"

Gong Dalong on the bed trembled. This woman actually wanted to starve him to death?

Thinking again, he was now relying entirely on Sun Jiao Jiao to feed him. Recalling that he had disagreed with her giving birth to the child, this woman, in a fit of anger, with her personality, it was not impossible.

Thinking of this, Gong Dalong was both shocked and angry, his eyes warily staring at Sun Jiao Jiao, who was propping herself against the door.
