Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 128 The Haier Brothers' Drifting Adventure

"On July 11, 2025, the weather was clear and cloudless. My name is Zhao Hai. I perished at sea in a storm. I would be eternally grateful if anyone who finds me could bring my remains back to my homeland..."

As the last stroke of the character fell.

At this moment, Ye Fei, whose eyes were bruised and purple, withdrew the hand that had transformed into a bone claw and was carving words on a wooden board.

He held the carved wooden board up to his eyes, examined it carefully, and then nodded affirmatively.

The handwriting is neat and the words are sincere; it's very good.

"Brother Zhao, what are you carving?"

On the small boat, Zhao Hai also had bruises under his eyes, and his messy hair had several conspicuous white bird droppings on it.

He kept rowing the boat half-heartedly, then noticed the commotion behind him and turned around curiously.

"This? I'm going to bite this in my mouth along with my ID card later. If I die and a passing ship finds it, maybe they can send my body back to Xin Kingdom..."

"...Brother Hai, do you want one? I'll carve one for you too."

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Hai's expression froze, but he quickly lowered his head in dejection.

"You...it's all my fault, sigh~"

"...Make one for me too..."

At this point, it was the third day since the Haier Brothers fled overseas.

In total, the two had been adrift at sea for three days and three nights.

Ye Fei said he had nothing to say about this phenomenon.

The magical ship beneath my backside is truly formidable; it won't capsize even in the fiercest storms.

But just because a boat won't capsize doesn't mean people can't be fooled!

I don't know what bad luck I had, but I had only been skating along the coastline for less than two hours.

The sky above, which had been clear and cloudless, suddenly turned completely dark.

It was as if a huge black mountain range was pressing down, with lightning bolts thicker than buckets flashing continuously within it.

Then a fierce wind arose, and the once calm sea began to churn and surge as if it were boiling.

Finally, the thick, black clouds pressed down lower and lower, as if the sky were collapsing.

Even now, thinking back on that scene still makes Ye Fei feel a little apprehensive.

Then came the fierce winds that could blow people away and the torrential rain that felt like water being poured down.

The gale-force winds and waves made it impossible for Ye Fei to tell whether the water splashing on his face was seawater or rain.

The two people, who were traveling normally, were suddenly tossed into the air or fell into the gaps by the waves that were getting higher and higher.

The small boat the two were on was like a piece of duckweed in a storm, ravaged by the sudden fury of nature.

If it weren't for the magic ship and its tenacious ability to hold its ground.

In addition to being unsinkable, the two would likely be swept into the seabed and carried to an unknown depth as soon as the storm hits.

It was precisely because of this that the two survived the storm that followed, which lasted for an unknown period of time.

I don't know how many times I vomited in between.

In short, when the storm recedes and the waves calm down.

The two of them lay there motionless, slumped in the small wooden boat.

It was only when a seabird flew by and dropped a white dropping on each of their heads that their will, which was on the verge of collapse, was awakened.

But this was just the beginning of a nightmare.

the following few days.

The two looked at the sea around them, which was almost identical.

Whether you stay still or row wildly in one direction, it doesn't matter.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, as if it hadn't moved an inch.

During these few days, the two spent the initial period of frantic rowing and searching for land.

Then came the period of stagnation and inaction, followed by a point where stagnation became unsustainable and the economy began to slowly slide in one direction.

The food was all eaten several days ago.

Fortunately, both of them were in good physical condition, and they also had Zhao Hai's magical water bucket, which could continuously pour out fresh water.

They've held on until now, but they're already at their last gasp.

Ye Fei even realized that he was having a delusion.

In his somewhat blurry and dim vision, at the end of the boundless sea, a continuous coastline appeared.

As far as he knows, people only experience hallucinations when they are near death; it is a way for the brain to self-euthanize itself.

"Looks like I'm really going to die... I'm so unwilling to die in this godforsaken place..."

"Oh~ Oh~"

Just as he slumped down on the ship's side, muttering to himself.

A flock of white seabirds suddenly flew overhead, howling, followed by a shower of bird droppings that looked like rain.

Once all of this is over.

Ye Fei looked up from a pile of bird droppings. His already messy, medium-length hair was now in an even worse state.

Those patches of hair, stained white by bird droppings, even looked somewhat postmodern.

However, Ye Fei soon stopped caring about these things.

He came to his senses at that moment.

Surprisingly, the coastline that had appeared in my hallucination was now even clearer.

This startled him, and he quickly raised his hand to rub his eyes hard.

As it turned out, the silhouette of the coastline at the end of the line of sight was still there.

"This...this is real?!"

This made him even more excited, and he was about to turn around and share this surprising discovery with Zhao Hai beside him.

But then he turned his head.

To their surprise, they saw the other party taking back the magical weapon that looked like a fishing rod that they had previously snatched back.

He plunged his head into the water, remaining still as if fishing. Then, his gaze shifted upwards, revealing Zhao Hai, whose face was covered in scars.

He sat cross-legged on the small boat, closed his eyes, and held the wooden pole in both hands, like an old monk in deep meditation.

This scene, a mixture of eeriness and tranquility, even overshadowed Ye Fei's initial surprise at discovering the landmass.

"Brother Zhao, what are you doing? You're really using this as a fishing rod?"

"Even if we're going to use it as a fishing rod, we still need bait..."

Having gone without food for several days, Ye Fei's complaints sounded rather weak and listless.

Fortunately, the boat was small, and the two were very close, so Zhao Hai could hear what the other was saying.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, his head covered in bird droppings, and looked at his speechless little brother beside him.

"Don't rush, don't rush..."

"I feel like I've figured out the true purpose of this magical artifact. Just wait a little longer, we'll have something to eat soon..."

Upon hearing this reply, Ye Fei could hardly believe his ears.

Not only is there no bait, but this fishing rod doesn't even have a hook!

Even if the fish wanted to commit suicide, it wouldn't be able to find a good fishing spot if you used this method!

At this moment, Ye Fei already had doubts.

Is it possible that the other person is so hungry because of their large size and high physical exertion?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Hey, Brother Zhao, stop fishing. Let me tell you, I've discovered..."

"...?"

"...Huh? Huh?! Holy crap!"

Just as Ye Fei was about to reveal his discovery...

Zhao Hai threw a small white buoy into the sea not far in front of him, which bobbed up and down with the waves.

It suddenly sank a little.

Zhao Hai, who had been intently watching the reaction of the wooden stick in his hand, witnessed this scene.

A sudden burst of wild joy flashed in his calm eyes, and he pulled hard with both hands, yanking the fishing rod hanging in the water backward.

next moment.

With a loud thud as something heavy broke through the water.

"Dangdang!"

A large black shadow flew into the wooden boat the two were riding on, following the small white cube that had been pulled up.

Ye Fei, interrupted once again, looked down blankly at the large fish thrashing about in the cramped cabin, feeling somewhat lost.

"This...this is a mandarin fish, right? This is a freshwater fish, right? Hai-ge, we're at sea, aren't we?"

As for his younger brother, he asked a series of questions.

Zhao Hai also rested his chin on his hand, staring at the lively, wriggling fish in thought for a while, but he couldn't come up with any ideas.

"Oh well, why worry about it? As long as we have something to eat, that's all that matters!"

After saying that, he punched the still-living fish on the head.

next moment.

The nearly meter-long fish suddenly twitched and fainted.

Then, Zhao Hai picked up the big fish with both hands and opened his mouth to take a bite.

Fortunately, Ye Fei, having regained his senses, quickly stopped him.

"Hai-ge, no! Don't eat yet! I've been wanting to say this for a while now, I saw the coastline!"

"If all else fails, we can go ashore and gather some firewood to roast it!"

At this moment, he no longer cared about the strange questions of why freshwater fish could be caught in the sea or why big fish could be caught without hooks or bait.

The most urgent thing now is to get to shore and onto land as soon as possible.

Otherwise, who knows, another typhoon or tsunami might come and blow this little boat away to who knows where.

And here.

When his younger brother stopped him, Zhao Hai initially thought the other person was extremely hungry.

I was just about to be modest and let the other person take a couple of bites first.

The next moment, upon hearing Ye Fei's words, he was startled and hurriedly looked around.

"Land! Where? Where? Where?"

Looking at his older brother, he searched around but couldn't find him.

In a moment of desperation, Ye Fei grabbed the other man's face and pried it open.

Looking towards the far distance, one can vaguely see the coastline with its tall buildings.

"Hey Hai! Hurry, hurry! Let's go! Row this way!"

Now, Zhao Hai saw it too.

At this moment, the two excited individuals couldn't care less about anything else.

He headed straight ahead and charged towards the silhouette of the city on the distant coastline.

As they drew closer, the skyscrapers became increasingly clear in their eyes, just like their hearts were surging with excitement.

At this moment, Ye Fei even wanted to burst into tears.

Those who haven't experienced this shipwreck, drifting, and famine will never understand his feelings at this moment.

At sea, the sea and sky blend into one, and everything looks exactly the same no matter which direction you look in.

Apart from a few silly birds, it was as if they were locked in a small, enclosed cage.

If they weren't two people, and could sometimes keep each other company and talk to each other, they probably would have gone crazy long ago.

How could I not be excited to see land now?
Moreover, it's not just a land-based city, but also a coastal city that looks quite developed.

What do cities represent?
It means there are people, there is food, there is a place to live, and—finally, I can take a shower!
