Chapter 135 Living to Death 【Subscription】

"Tick tock ~ tick tock ~"

Skyler heard the sound of water droplets falling to the ground. She woke up, but found that she couldn't move. This seemed to be the first time that after waking up, she was still in such pain.

She found that she didn't even have the strength to stand up. Perhaps, the little bit of energy left in her body was used to treat those fatal injuries. As for the wound instincts of the flesh and bones, she had no time to take care of them.

"Colonel Skyler, are you awake?"

In a soft, nervous female voice, Skyler tried to turn her head. This simple movement made her stare, accompanied by nausea.

Skyler became short of breath, and soon her eyesight returned to normal. Looking at the female soldier in the medical uniform, she said dryly, "Well, thank you, Sergeant Florence."

Florence kept shaking her head, and then said: "Most of the medicines have been washed into the sea. Captain Nurkic and the others are going to find herbs and food. You should take a rest."

"Is there any water?"

Skyler felt his throat hurt and tightened. Florence nodded quickly when he heard this, then took a pack of normal saline, cut off a corner, and handed it to Skyler's mouth.

Skyler sucked the salt water, although his body was still in pain, but he felt a strange sense of comfort.

Her poor health made her yearn for any slight improvement in her health.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

Skyler finally felt that speaking was no longer so strenuous. Although his lungs still hurt, the pain was easily bearable.

"Six hours."

"Did the Whitebeard Pirates come again?"

"Forget it, that Marco came to deliver a letter, saying that there will be a new big ship group coming in seven days."

Hearing Florence's words, Skyler breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, her eyesight gradually adapted, and she could see her surroundings clearly. This was a cliff cave, and it seemed to be raining lightly outside.

On Florence's face, there was unspeakable sadness and fear. Skyler generally knew why she was sad, but she didn't ask. Let's wait for Nurkic to come back.

Skyler stopped talking and was in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, she smelled the smell of food. The food had an obvious earthy smell. If it was normal, Skyler would be very disgusted.

But at this time, she was looking forward to it. When she opened her eyes, she found Florence bringing in a pot.

With Florence's cooperation, Skyler drank a pot of broth, and then fell asleep in a daze.

Waking up again, Skyler felt that his condition was much better, and the sky outside was completely dark. Florence sat on the ground, curled up and sleeping.

Although he felt that many injuries on his body were not healed, Skyler had no intention of resting, and left the cliff cave lightly. Following the natural path, Skyler slowly walked towards the perceived crowd.

She saw many people sleeping in the rain on the grass in the open air. Groups of three or five gathered around a bonfire. However, most of the bonfires were extinguished at this time, leaving only the curling smoke.

In the distance, there was an overturned land. Skyler took a deep breath, and then walked towards Nurkic who was sleeping on the edge of the cliff. When he came to Nurkic's side, Skyler sat down with some difficulty.

Nurkic also woke up at this time. He had a lot of unqualified wounds on his body. Seeing Skyler, he was about to get up and salute, but Skyler interrupted him, and then gestured to the sleeping Navy .

Nurkic understood and didn't make a sound. Skyler swallowed, moistened his dry throat, and said, "How many people have you lost this time?"

"Seventy-nine people, twenty-three are still missing, seventeen are seriously injured, and have no ability to fight again."

Nurkic's voice was very flimsy, even trembling, and Skyler was speechless for a long time after hearing the news.

In less than a day, her fleet changed from 283 people to 181 people. Among them, there are 17 seriously injured patients. Judging from the current conditions, it is unknown whether they can survive.

"Call for help, let's all go back."

After a long silence, Skyler lowered his head and said, Nurkic took a deep breath, and said, "All communication devices have failed, and the Whitebeard Pirates have cut off the phone bug's signal."

Skyler clenched her fists. Before she spoke, she had thought about this possibility, but when the possibility became a reality, Skyler still didn't know how to accept it.

"Sir, we have no other choice but to survive."

"I understand, try your best to live."

"Are things keeping up now? Especially food and medicine," Skyler asked.

Nurkic still looked distressed, and said: "There are a lot of wild animals on this island. Food can last for a while, but there is a lack of medicine. Except for weeds, there are trees."

Skyler looked at the gradually brightening sky and said, "Then let's satisfy the food first. I'll find some food, and you bring someone to chop some firewood."

"Sir, your injury"

"No problem!"

After Skyler finished speaking resolutely, he stood up, walked towards the distant woods with somewhat jerky steps, and waited until Skyler was far away before Nurkic hammered the ground painfully.

No one knew why he was suffering, and no one knew what he was angry about.

After venting silently, he stood up, went to find the soldiers who were less injured, and started to cut down trees. In fact, this kind of work should have been done when he landed on the island yesterday.

After all, they don't have warships now, and they can no longer leave the island by themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to build a simple living area. After all, it is impossible to sleep in the open air every day.

It's just that yesterday's incident happened too suddenly, and there were too many injured and dead people, so the things that need to be dealt with urgently are higher than the garrison.

But starting today, they have to plan well.

A hundred or so people quickly entered a busy state. When the sky was bright, Skyler dragged a few beasts back. Judging by their size, they might weigh several tons.

All the work that followed was done in a silent and tacit understanding, working quietly, eating quietly, and then some people recuperated, some trained, and some were doing logistics.

Leon led a few female soldiers in the cooking class, cooking the broth non-stop. This was arranged by Skyler. In the next time, she would force herself to eat and then practice life return.

It is an extremely painful thing to use the energy squeezed out by using life return for cultivation. Excessive use of life return is a very painful thing, but...is there anything more painful than failure?

The Zhanye detachment restored order, and newspapers were also delivered to the world.

Countless people were ecstatic, shocked, and angry, but none of them had anything to do with Schuyler and Zhanye Detachment. They only had one mission now, and that was to survive, to survive the upcoming battles.

In the early morning of the seventh day, a pirate ship arrived as scheduled, and the Zanye detachment, except for Skyler, all other crew members formed a defensive formation, and Skyler charged directly towards the pirate group.

Skyler understands that there is only one way to survive, and that is to fight with his life!
