Chapter 19 I was here first!
The conflict stemming from the freshwater crisis erupted during lunchtime.
"Who can drink this tiny cup of water? I'm dying of thirst!"
"We worked so hard out there searching, and now we can't even get a sip of water when we come back? Is this fair?!"
"I clearly saw several bottles of mineral water in the cabin earlier. Are they deliberately not letting us drink them?"
Conflicts soon erupted on the ship.
The noise reached the ears of Jiang Ying and others in the adjacent cabin.
Jiang Ying frowned and pursed her lips.
Her once moist and glossy lips became dry due to lack of moisture.
In the first two days after I transmigrated here, fresh water wasn't so scarce.
In addition, the body itself contains water, so even if you drink less, it won't have much of an impact.
But even now, it's still impossible to replenish a lot of water.
Symptoms of dehydration began to appear in the body.
The students who caused the disturbance didn't have any malicious intent; they were simply thirsty.
But what can you do when you're thirsty? The fresh water on the ship is dwindling with each use.
The daily freshwater consumption of dozens or nearly a hundred people is considerable.
Unless they can find rare supplies like bottled water in the supply crates they retrieve every time they go out.
Otherwise, the freshwater will gradually be depleted.
"Everyone, please stop arguing!"
A senior student from the student council tried to maintain order.
But in this situation, nobody pays any attention to her.
Fortunately, Shen Ya appeared just in time.
"Everyone, please don't panic! Listen to me for a moment!!"
He is the student council president, and everyone has seen the efforts of the student council.
So everyone finally quieted down a bit.
They all stared at Shen Ya, listening intently.
Faced with so many questioning eyes, Shen Ya also felt immense pressure.
Because freshwater is a fact.
If he cannot give everyone a satisfactory answer, this temporary order may cease to exist.
Chaos has descended once again!
"Don't panic, everyone! There's still plenty of water!!"
"It was only for long-term considerations that a smaller share of fresh water was distributed to each person."
"In addition, we are also trying to obtain fresh water using distillation technology. As long as we get through this difficult period, everyone will no longer be short of water to drink!!!"
Shen Ya reassured everyone.
Upon hearing that fresh water could be obtained through distillation, everyone's expressions became excited.
"Senior Shen Ya is so farsighted; he's already starting to distill fresh water?"
"Great! We'll never have to worry about drinking water again!!"
"Could I have another drink? I'm so thirsty..."
Li Yi, in the next cabin, showed a slight change in expression.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Shen Ya was full of profound meaning.
He did see the rudimentary distiller made by the student council on the ship.
But that kind of efficiency is really too low.
In a day, it's questionable whether you can even distill a cup of water.
How could such a rudimentary distiller provide freshwater for the entire ship's crew?
That's pure wishful thinking.
But Shen Ya still chose to bring this hope to everyone.
Perhaps it was to quell the unrest here, or for some other reason?
Li Yi's whereabouts are unknown.
Inside the cabin, the other girls in the class started chattering amongst themselves.
"Senior Shen Ya is amazing! With him around, I feel confident we can handle anything!"
"I want a partner like Senior Shen Ya—responsible and dependable!"
"Sigh, look at them, then look at the boys in our class, it's unbearable to look at..."
Some of the boys in the class immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.
Fatty Qin started shouting.
"What are you saying? Who are you calling unbearable to look at? I don't like hearing that from you guys!!"
"Do you even understand the value of your brother Chen's 100,000 volts?"
Hearing the girls in her class gossiping, Liu Yue glanced at Li Yi with a guilty look.
"Don't be angry, they're just gossipy and like to talk nonsense..."
Li Yi didn't pay any attention to this, but instead looked at her with some surprise.
Why do you think I'll be angry?
"It's normal for them to think that way, because they simply can't understand my existence."
Liu Yue couldn't help but purse her lips.
This guy, even if he's Superman, he can't act like this, right?
Okay, okay, you're Superman, everything you say is right.
She became even more curious.
Just how exaggerated is Li Yi's strength?
It's a pity we didn't see Li Yi deal with that giant shark last time, otherwise we would have known more or less about it.
Thinking about this, Liu Yue felt a little regretful again.
Although she knew Li Yichao's identity, she had never seen him make a move.
That giant shark in front is so huge, even Superman would have a hard time dealing with it.
No remains of the giant shark were found nearby.
They've most likely run away.
Could it be that Li Yi lured it away?
Liu Yue guessed.
Although this speculation has absolutely nothing to do with the truth.
In the afternoon, they searched for supply boxes at sea.
Li Yi raised his eyes and glanced into the distance.
"Someone's coming."
The women on the boat were somewhat confused.
Only Liu Yue showed a look of surprise and doubt.
But when they looked in the direction Li Yi was looking, they saw nothing.
After a while, they finally saw the black dot in the distance.
As they got closer, the women realized it was a raft.
There were people on the raft: two scantily clad, somewhat disheveled women.
They were paddling hard.
Upon seeing them, the woman cried out for help.
"Help! Can you help us?"
As they got closer, the girls on the boat noticed more details.
The woman's clothes were not inherently revealing; rather, they appeared to have been torn or ripped.
He also had many bruises on his body, making him look like he had just escaped from somewhere.
And every now and then they would look in a certain direction, as if there was something there that terrified them.
Without hesitation, Jiang Ying steered the boat towards them, ready to rescue the two.
Li Yi held her down.
"Squad leader...we should be careful around these people of unknown origin in the sea."
The other girls on the boat stared at him.
"Li Yi, everyone else is suffering so much, what do you mean by that?"
"If we don't help them today, who will help us tomorrow?"
"Don't be so selfish!"
Even Jiang Ying hesitated for a moment before gently removing his hand.
"Li Yi, I know you mean well."
"But they're not in good condition, I have to help them!"
Faced with Jiang Ying's determined gaze, Li Yi shrugged and took a half step back.
"Yueyue, use the vines to bring them up here."
Jiang Ying plans to team up with Liu Yue to rescue the two women onto the boat.
But when he turned around, he found that Liu Yue had also taken a half step back.
Liu Yue looked at her hesitantly.
"Well... I think what Li Yi said makes some sense..."
Although she also really wanted to help the class monitor save people.
But Li Yi's words made her wary.
Liu Yue knew very well.
Li Yi has never been one to waste time talking nonsense.
Since he said that, he must have his reasons.
Jiang Ying looked at the two people moving in unison, her mind buzzing.
Wait, when did you two become so close?
For no apparent reason, a sentence popped into her mind.
I was here first...
