Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 88 - 88 88 Lost

88: Chapter 88 Lost 88: Chapter 88 Lost By the time they reached the control room, they saw Lin Zinuo and the others exchanging worried glances.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Mo asked with a sudden sinking feeling.

“The directions are all mixed up, and the electronic equipment on the ship is basically useless.

We’re running around like headless flies.

So we thought about discussing it together to see if there are any good ideas…”

Qin Wang explained to Su Mo with a wry smile.

Su Mo pondered and then asked, “I’m not good at this either, so we can only wait until the mist clears.”

“The problem is that we’re running short on both food and water, so we can’t afford to stop, which is why opinions differ.”

“Then we’ll just have to take a gamble, and we shouldn’t think too much about the outcome.

It all depends on luck.”

Su Mo actually took it rather well, figuring it couldn’t get much worse anyway.

After hearing what Su Mo said, Qin Wang gave him a thumbs up.

Indeed, he was a master with top-notch mental resilience.

“Su Mo, we’ve lost our way now.

Do you have any good suggestions?”

With no other options, Lin Zinuo decided to ask Su Mo for his advice.

“Just follow your instincts and keep going.

No matter if the direction is right or wrong, one day, we’ll leave the Mist Zone.

All we need to do is conserve our food and water supply as much as we can.

Don’t think about anything else, it’s just a cause for worry and useless anyway.”

Su Mo calmly shared his thoughts.

The main reason was that he had no experience with navigation, and with the strong magnetic interference, the positioning instruments had failed, leaving him powerless.

They could only wait for the fog to dissipate and use the sun as a reference to determine their bearings.

“All right!

Let’s do that.”

Lin Zinuo decisively slapped his thigh and settled the matter.

Thus, Su Mo and the others left the control room.

Su Mo went to the edge of the deck to look out, but the fog was still too thick to see anything.

“Don’t bother looking.

If we could see clearly, we wouldn’t be so anxious.”

Zhou Qian walked up to Su Mo somewhat awkwardly.

“I know.

What do you need?”

Su Mo, noticing that Zhou Qian was trying to find a topic, asked point-blank.

“Ahem, do you have any food left?”

Zhou Qian finally lowered her face and asked.

She had already shared her food with the other sisters.

For some reason, physical exhaustion was faster onboard the ship, perhaps due to its instability.

“Wait a minute!”

Su Mo went back to the bedroom, took out his backpack, and handed Zhou Qian a box of crackers from it.

“That’s all I have left.”

“Then never mind.”

Zhou Qian hesitated but still refused.

If there were only a little food left, it should be prioritized for Su Mo since he was a stronger fighter.

“Are you sure?”

Su Mo asked again.

“No need, I will go fish for a bit and see if I can catch some fish.”

Zhou Qian shook her head.

That bit of food really wouldn’t solve anything.

“Are you sure?”

Su Mo gave her a curious look.

Could she really catch fish while the ship was moving?

“What’s so hard about that?

Are you doubting me?”

Zhou Qian had just said it casually and now couldn’t very well contradict herself so quickly.

“Not at all.

It’s actually a great idea, but what will you use to fish?”

“We found a net in the ship’s storeroom.

It should work well enough.”

“…”

Su Mo was speechless.

Was that really fishing?

Turns out she meant to use a net to scoop!

“What’s that expression?

Just wait, I’ll treat you to fish soup later.”

Zhou Qian got even more excited.

She had initially just thought about it, but now she was determined to give it a try.

A while later, Zhou Qian and a group of girls really brought over a sizeable net.

However, this net was not a typical fishing net but a metal one, without a trace of rust, indicating that its material was of very good quality.

Zhou Qian and a few girls fiddled with it for a while, crafting the metal net into a fishing-net shape, securing it with several ropes, and then casting it off.

Su Mo stood by quietly watching them fiddle around.

The ship was moving so fast; catching fish wouldn’t be so easy!

About half an hour later, Zhou Qian and her group suddenly started laboriously pulling in the net, as if there really was something worthwhile.

“It’s so heavy!

There might really be fish!”

One girl excitedly shouted.

“Quick, pull the net in fast.”

Zhou Qian was increasingly excited, very curious about what kind of fish they might catch and wondering if they were the same as in their world.

Su Mo was also surprised that they had indeed caught fish.

As they slowly pulled in the fishing net, just as they were hauling it onto the deck, inside the net was a creature with greenish bumps all over its body, frog legs, a round body, full of sharp teeth, and blood-red eyes.

Before Zhou Qian and the others could get a clear look, the monstrous creature suddenly leapt, lunging directly toward Zhou Qian.

Su Mo swiftly drew her automatic pistol and fired fiercely!

Bang!

She instantly killed it!

Its body burst open, spilling a thick green liquid that fell onto the deck, continuously emitting corrosive bubbles.

This sight sent shivers down the spines of Zhou Qian and the others.

“What, what in the world is this thing?”

…

“Let’s not catch anymore, the sea water must also be heavily contaminated, and its creatures must have completely mutated.”

Su Mo solemnly explained, suddenly recalling the elite level I mutant, which clearly had the ability to leap onto the ship but had given up, seemingly afraid of the sea.

Generally speaking, the world’s largest creatures live in the sea.

If they too were thoroughly contaminated and evolved, what kind of monsters would they become?

The mere thought was chilling.

He suddenly felt fortunate that Lin Zinuo had kept the ship moving instead of stopping.

If they had stopped in the sea, who knows what kind of monsters might have targeted them.

“Okay, we understand now.”

Zhou Qian was also left shaken, swearing off fishing for good.

At that moment, Lin Zinuo and others, hearing the gunshot, hurried out and began asking.

“What happened?”

“Well, Sister Zinuo, given the food scarcity, we thought of catching some fish.

But unexpectedly, instead of fish, we caught a monster, then Su Mo fired her gun.”

Zhou Qian explained somewhat disheartenedly.

Hearing Zhou Qian’s words, Lin Zinuo and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that nothing’s wrong.”

“Is it okay for you to run out like this?

You are the captain, after all.”

Su Mo looked helplessly at Lin Zinuo, realizing that letting Lin Zinuo pilot the ship might have been a mistake.

“It’s fine.”

Lin Zinuo, however, was unconcerned, stating that with such low visibility, navigating was like being blindfolded no matter how you sailed; if you were going to hit something, it would happen sooner or later, and if not, then not.

Su Mo was at a loss for words, feeling it was nonsensical, yet it strangely made some sense.

However, Lin Zinuo’s next words made Su Mo see her in a new light as she suddenly spoke very seriously.

“However, since you’ve caught a monster, it indicates that even during navigation, it is not entirely safe.

From now on, Zhou Qian, all combat players are to take turns patrolling each area of the deck to ensure no other creature climbs aboard.”

“Yes, Sister Zinuo.”

Zhou Qian and the others nodded slightly in response, their faces revealing a hint of concern.

They had thought setting sail would allow for a smooth return, but instead, the situation seemed to be getting worse.

Su Mo gazed into the distant mist, deep in thought.
