Wang Tong sighed as he realized that none of them were prepared. He would have brought more if he had known.
"Here are five lunchboxes and ten bottles of water. Distribute them among yourselves, and try to save as much as possible."
Everyone looked at Wang Tong as if he was a god.
"Gosh, do you always bring these out?"
Wang Tong was speechless. Everyone who had been through the ordeal with Norton would be prepared, but he didn't expect it to be too little.
Wang Tong would have a high chance of survival with such a large amount of water. However, the difference between humans and Zergs was that they would never give up on their friends.
Each of them had a bottle of water and two lunchboxes. Even though the lunchboxes were the cheapest ones in the school cafeteria, they were still more valuable than diamonds.
"Captain, you're such a genius! This is a must have!"
Everyone's hope was rekindled with the food and water.
"Everyone, try to save as much as possible. Let's take a three minute break before we continue." Wang Tong knew that the longer they stayed, the worse the situation would be.
Everyone started to gulp down the water. They were tired and thirsty, but they couldn't hold it in anymore.
Wang Tong wanted to stop them, but it was too late. He had overestimated their self-control. Wang Ben and Hu Yangxuan were well-trained, and they closed the lid after taking a sip.
Wang Tong put away the bottle of water. He was still able to hold on. Under such circumstances, hope was much more important than temporary pleasure.
After eating some food and drinking some water, the group once again swam towards the black dot in the distance. However, this time, not only their stamina, but also their GN Force had to be distributed properly. The few guys who were still able to move earlier were still doing fancy swimming, but now they were all well-behaved.
Perhaps it was because they were getting serious, the situation had changed. Everyone was swimming faster than before, and no one was chatting anymore.
However, after an hour, the black dot was still the same distance as before, as if it wasn't getting any closer. Or perhaps, the black dot was moving forward as well!
Wang Tong had no choice but to stop and let everyone take a break. After an hour, everyone started to show signs of fatigue.
Karl, Tita, and the others were about to gulp down some water, but they were stopped by Wang Tong's loud shout.
"You two only have half a bottle left. Do you want to die after drinking it all?"
As soon as Wang Tong said that, the others stopped what they were doing. Something was not right.
Carl and Tita looked at the water and could only take a small sip to moisten their sun-kissed lips.
The others also imitated him and took small sips, but the more they drank, the more thirsty they became. However, they could only endure it.
"Wang Tong, something is not right. Where is the Paradise Island?"
"Did the principal make a mistake? Let's call for help!" Kyaero couldn't take it anymore. It would be great if he could borrow some strength.
"It's hopeless. There's no signal on the Skylink," Sisi said helplessly.
"Xiaoru, do you have the exact location of Paradise Island?" Wang Tong asked. Everyone looked at Ma Xiaoru eagerly, hoping that she could give them a way out.
Although Ma Xiaoru had the Witch's Tactics to protect her body, she was still lacking in actual combat. She was also very tired. "If I knew, I would have gone long ago."
Everyone's last shred of hope was shattered. This clearly did not seem like a test, and it was very likely that Samantha had made a mistake. After all, Ma Xiaoru's condition was also very poor, and if this went on, something would really happen.
Wang Tong knew that he couldn't let them continue thinking about it. Regardless of whether it was a mistake or not, he needed to make a clear judgment.
"Everyone, listen to me, we have no other choice. We have to find Paradise Island as soon as possible if we want to survive, and the only way we can do that is to swim forward. Now, we need to manage the water together. Everyone, pass the water to Ma Xiaoru and take a break every half hour. Girls first, then us!"
Wang Tong was the first to take out his own bottle, and everyone drank it. Wang Ben, who had the most, drank a fifth of it, while Tita, Carl, and the others drank more than half.
On the other hand, Wang Tong's bottle was unopened, and he hadn't even taken a sip yet.
Ma Xiaoru took the bottles one by one. She knew that this water was everyone's hope.
The more they thought about it, the less hope they had, and the more they rested, the more tired they would be. Five minutes later, everyone set off again.
The scorching sun in the sky was emitting heat, and the ocean was still as blue as ever. The seawater was like a deadly temptation to them, and they wondered if they would feel better after taking a sip of the water.
Rumi's stamina had been depleted, so those who had better stamina took turns to carry her. At this point, it was no longer a matter of weight. No matter how light Rumi was, she would still look heavy when everyone was exhausted.
Everyone slowed down a lot, and the rest time was getting longer. Ma Xiaoru took out a bottle of water and gave it to Rumi. The moment the water flowed into Rumi's mouth, it was like the most beautiful painting in the world.
Ma Xiaoru took a sip and passed it to Zhou Sisi. Everyone passed it to Wang Tong, and he put it on his lips and licked it before he passed it back to Ma Xiaoru.
Suddenly, Wang Tong grabbed Rumi's hand and grabbed her. Rumi tried to drink the seawater, but Wang Tong didn't stop her.
"No!"
"Thirsty …" Rumi said sadly, "I'll try it."
"Shut up, all of you. Don't touch the seawater, it will only make you thirsty!" Wang Tong said angrily.
"Wang Tong is right, we are the elites of Ayrlarng. Damn it, let's do it!" Karl shouted. His voice was hoarse, but his passion was still there.
"Wang Tong, Rumi's body is weak. Let her take another sip, or she will be in trouble." Ma Xiaoru looked at Rumi and said worriedly.
Wang Tong nodded.
At this time, who wouldn't want to drink water? Tita and the rest were also thirsty. It has to be said that everyone still maintained their rationality in this situation. They forcefully restrained themselves and decided not to look at it.
Ma Xiaoru also tried her best to suppress the urge to drink water. She closed the bottle and put it back into the space crystal.
Wang Tong waved his hand as a signal for them to continue their journey. It was better not to talk if possible.
The group of people slowly made their way to Paradise, which seemed to be forever beyond the horizon.
It was already noon, and it was the hottest time of the day. Even if they didn't move, their bodies would still be evaporating. Wang Tong and the others were not the only ones who were suffering. They shouldn't have moved too much at the beginning of the journey, as it would have consumed a lot of their GN Force. If they had been prepared for a prolonged battle, they would have been able to survive. But who would have thought that Paradise Island, which they thought would only take them half an hour to reach, was still a tiny dot in the distance.
Fortunately, there was still a tiny dot, or else everyone would have lost all hope.
Ma Xiaoru opened the space crystal and took out a full bottle of water. This was Wang Tong's bottle, and it was also their last bottle.
Wang Tong and the others who were the strongest among them were also in a bad condition. Actually, they were feeling better after a one-off deal, as the body was the most unbearable part of the process.
The lack of water in the middle of the ocean was even more terrifying than the desert. The desert itself was not as tempting as the mirage, but the ocean itself was filled with water.
There were already a few people who tried to drink water, but Wang Tong caught them. Even Wang Ben and Hu Yangxuan had to control themselves and didn't have the energy to care about the others.
The scorching sun seemed to be mocking the struggles of these weak humans.
Under everyone's gaze, Ma Xiaoru opened the last bottle of water. She placed the bottle beside Rumi's mouth, but this time, Rumi didn't open her mouth like before.
"Rumi, drink it."
Rumi closed her mouth tightly and shook her head.
"It's okay, we can still hold on. You drink it."
"You guys drink it, I … I'm the least drained." Rumi closed her eyes stubbornly.
Ma Xiaoru looked at the bottle and said, "I can hold on too, you guys drink it."
Zhou Sisi also shook her head.
"You guys don't have to force yourselves. Drink it, or you'll die if you don't. No matter what, just hold on for a little longer." Wang Tong said. If Ma Xiaoru and Zhou Sisi didn't drink it, the others wouldn't either. He knew that if they didn't drink it, they would be even more exhausted.
"Wang Tong, you drink it, you still have to carry us." Wang Ben said. Apparently, Wang Tong was the only one among them who was experienced in surviving, and he was able to stay calm.
"I'm fine, you guys drink it first!"
To be honest, Wang Tong's throat had been burning for a long time, but his body was still stronger than the others.
"Captain, you drink it, we all know that you didn't drink much before this!" Kyaero said. Everyone else took a sip, but Wang Tong only drank a little.
"Wang Tong, don't be so stubborn. You're the one with the highest chance of survival among us. Drink it, and this water is yours anyway!"
Hu Yangxuan revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. At this time, even a handsome guy couldn't take it anymore.
"Captain, you drink it, you bring the others away, don't worry about me." Rumi struggled to say. She knew that her presence was a burden to the team, not to mention that she was the one who drank the most water.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. We came here together, so let's survive together. The more we talk, the more thirsty we get!"
Wang Tong said resolutely.
"Wang Tong, if we make it back alive, you will be our captain forever!" Karl said in a hoarse voice.
However, it was more likely that they would all die together.
"We can't go on like this. Wang Tong has the best stamina, I have a suggestion. Let him take this bottle of water to Paradise Island, and then come back to save us. If we continue like this, we will all die together!" Zhou Sisi said.
Everyone looked at each other. "I agree, we have to fight!" Wang Ben nodded.
"Let's vote!" Ma Xiaoru said.
Everyone raised their hands. Hu Yangxuan patted Wang Tong's shoulder and said, "We're counting on you, if we make it back alive, we'll hit on some girls together!"
Wang Tong knew that this was the only way. He took the bottle of water from Ma Xiaoru and took a sip. This was the first time he had drunk water in a long time, and he drank about one-fifth of it. However, he still returned the bottle to Ma Xiaoru.
"Ma Xiaoru, Wang Ben, Hu Yangxuan, I'll leave the rest to you guys, I'm leaving!"
Wang Tong didn't waste any time, he activated his GN Force and dashed out.
