Sea Hare walked on the slippery deck and watched as everyone excitedly cleaned the deck. The sea ghost attack this time had caused great damage to the Great Roc. The ship's hull was secondary, but the casualties were the biggest problem.
Among the hundred people, almost twenty had died, and more than half of the remaining were injured. Most of the dead were crew members, after all, they had to stand at the front.
This meant that for the rest of the voyage, everyone would have to do the work of two people! This was not a matter of a day or two, but a matter of months. People would go crazy if they had to work like this in the dry sea.
Among the origin power users, the boatswain and the other origin power user among the passengers had both lost their lives. Another three of the eight dancers had died, and the sea rabbit noticed that the three who had died were the slimmest of them all. Additionally, the person who had fallen into the water before was also a willow, just like a hemp pole.
Was body size related to death? Where did this logic come from? He could not figure it out at the moment.
This was a terrible and bloody day. Not long after the battle ended, the Sea Widow made a decision. She decided to change her course and head towards an island supply point that was not part of the plan. This island was not on the route and would delay them for more than twenty days. Under normal circumstances, their next supply point would be two months later. However, it would be foolish to persist with the previous plan. Regardless of the loss of materials or the loss of personnel, they urgently needed to replenish their supplies. As for whether they could reach the Central Province on time, that was no longer the primary concern.
The remaining dancers were not satisfied, but they could not persist. This was because the loss of sailors also determined the speed of the voyage, and this was not something that could be changed by the will of the people.
Because they were sailing to the nearest island, the journey would take less than half a month. This meant that the ship's supplies could finally be used by Dafa. In order to boost morale after the near-death experience, Sea Widow appeared to be very Dafa in this aspect.
Of course, these supplies were nothing to her. They were just water, wine, and food, and were not worth much. In order to store them for a longer time, even if they could not be used up, they would be replaced at the supply point. It was better to let the remaining people enjoy them. In any case, they would gain the reputation of Dafa, and it would make people feel that there was some meaning in fighting for their lives.
The sea hare received special treatment — a large bucket of clear water. On the entire Great Roc, only he and Mubei received such treatment. Everything was fair and aboveboard, and no one said anything. That was because ninety percent of the golden-helmeted sea ghosts were killed by the two of them. The remaining ten percent were killed by the other origin power users, and they had lost five of their own. The disparity wasn't small at all.
The two of them could be said to be the saviors of the entire ship, so shouldn't they receive some special treatment?
After a busy day, the exhausted people had already fallen asleep. Only the bitter sailors still had to continue working. This was also the reason why the Sea Widow needed to find a place to dock. Victory could make people forget about their fatigue, but it would not last for long. After all, everyone was made of flesh, and there was a limit to their body and spirit.
Sea Hare was not used to bathing. It was not because he did not like cleanliness, but because of the environmental conditions. As a sailor, no one had the habit of bathing! There was a quota for drinking, so how could he get used to it?
Although he was not obsessed with cleanliness, he still desperately wanted to bathe at least once. This was because he had not bathed once in several months at sea. Everyone's daily cleanliness was achieved by fishing in the sea when the sea conditions were good. The next time they went into the sea, there would be a layer of salt, and they would need to wipe it off with a dry cloth. Only a sailor could endure this method, and ordinary people simply could not do it.
In this battle, the sweat was secondary. The key was that he was covered in Sea Ghost Juice. It was sticky and had a strange smell, making people feel very uncomfortable. Even someone like him who did not care about it could not endure it.
A bucket of clear water was still not enough, so he first took a few buckets of seawater to wash. Finally, he used clear water to wash away the seawater, especially the important parts. He had a little premonition that something was going to happen, so he had to be clean, yes, polite.
Finally, he wore a set of clean clothes, and felt that his body had become lighter by a few kilograms.
After leaving the cabin, he walked around and around, preparing to attend the banquet. It was Boss Hai's private banquet. This was not strange. With his skills on the ship, as the boss, how could he not know how to rope in and corrupt others? How did he get his position as the boss?
There were very few people on the lower deck. They were either sleeping or drinking. This battle had connected the relationships of everyone on the ship, which was also an unexpected surprise. Having fought together before was the best glue that bound them together.
However, on the spacious and empty deck, he found a familiar figure sneaking around. The person was carrying a big bucket, but it did not affect the person's nimble figure at all. After turning around, the person disappeared!
The sea hare was just about to open his mouth and use his experience tonight to exchange for this guy's happiness, but he did not have the time to do so. There was no need to think, the person was carrying that bucket of clear water. Was he going to take a bath together? Or was it a one-on-many kind?
He felt that he was very different from others, but being on the same ship as this guy, he always felt that his hands and feet were tied, and he was suppressed everywhere!
He curled his lips, hesitated for a moment between peeping and using live ammunition. In the end, he decided to be happy first. Otherwise, the bath would be in vain!
He swaggered into Boss Hai's cabin. This was also the most luxurious place on the Roc. It was the boss's right.
The lights in the cabin were dim, and shadows were everywhere. The gauze canopy was high, which made people fanciful. The table in the middle was not filled with fish and meat, but the most precious fruits and side dishes on the ship. It was not worth much on land, but on the sea, it was incomparably precious.
Closing the door and bolting it, the Sea Widow was graceful and graceful. She did not have the slightest decisiveness of a boss. She was just a petite woman who had been widowed for a long time. She was very smart, and knew what was the most fatal form for a young man.
She was willing to pay the price, but she must achieve her goal. It was worth it!
The two of them sat opposite each other. The Sea Widow smiled and filled two cups of wine, inviting him to drink.
"Little Rabbit, please drink this cup. Consider it my thanks to you!"
The Sea Hare smiled and drank it without hesitation. "Just a cup of wine, and Sister Sea sent me away?"
The Sea Widow sighed in her heart. Actually, even at this time, she was still observing this guy's every move. If he was still in the same ignorant state as before, there was no need for her to make any sacrifices. It would be better to keep him hanging. But now, it seemed that it was not possible. This little guy had not only changed his fighting ability, but also something deeper. That kind of behavior could not be imitated.
What kind of awakening could make a person change like this?
But she also knew that to such a person, it was impossible to satisfy him with just words. She had to do something real. Fortunately, before she became old, she could still tie him down for at least ten years.
"Then, what does Little Rabbit want?"
