"tick~tick~"

Skyler heard the sound of water drops falling to the ground. She woke up, but found that she could not move. This seemed to be the first time. 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 energy left in her body was used to treat those fatal injuries. As for the injuries to the skin, flesh, muscles and bones... her instinct had no time to take care of them.

"Colonel Schuyler, are you awake?"

A soft, slightly nervous female voice sounded, and Skyler tried her best to turn her head. This simple movement made her see stars in her eyes, along with waves of nausea.

Skyler's breathing became faster, and soon her vision returned to normal. She looked at the female soldier wearing a medic uniform and said dryly: "Well, thank you for your hard work, 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 have gone to look for herbs and food. You should rest more."

"Is there water?"

Skyler felt his throat tightening with pain. After hearing this, Florence nodded quickly, then took a pack of physiological saline, cut off a corner, and handed it to Skyler's mouth.

Skyler sucked the salt water. Although his body was still painful, he felt strangely comfortable.

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

"How long have I been in a coma?"

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

"Six hours."

"Have the Whitebeard Pirates come again?"

"Not at all. That Marco came to deliver a message, saying that a new large fleet will arrive in seven days."

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

There was unspeakable sadness and fear on Florence's face. Skyler roughly knew why she was sad, but she didn't ask. She would rather wait for Nurkic to come back.

Skyler stopped talking and was in a daze. She didn't know how long it took before she smelled the food. The food had an obvious earthy smell. Normally, Skyler would be disgusted.

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

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

When he woke up again, Skyler felt that his condition was much better. The sky outside was completely dark. Florence was sitting on the ground, curled up and sleeping.

Although he felt that many injuries on his body were not healed yet, Skyler had no intention of resting. He left the cliff cave quietly and followed the natural path, slowly walking towards the perceived crowd.

She saw many people sleeping in the rain on the open grass, in groups of three or five, surrounding a bonfire. However, most of the bonfires were extinguished at this time, leaving only curls of green smoke.

In the distance, there was a piece of land that had been turned over. Skyler took a deep breath, 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 many wounds that were not treated properly. When he saw Skyler, he was about to stand up and salute, but Skyler interrupted him, and then motioned to the sleeping Navy .

Nurkic understood and said nothing. Skyler swallowed, moistened his dry throat, and said: "This time...how many people were lost?"

"There are 79 people, 23 of them can't be found, [-] of them are seriously injured and have no ability to fight anymore."

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

In just less than a day, her fleet has grown from 283 to 181 people. Among them, there are [-] seriously injured patients. Judging from the current conditions, it is unknown whether they will survive.

"Ask for help, everyone go back."

After a long moment of silence, Skyler lowered his head and said. Nurkic took a deep breath and said: "All communication equipment has failed. The Whitebeard Pirates have cut off the signal from the phone bug."

Skyler clenched her fists. She had thought about this possibility before speaking out, 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 survive."

"Are supplies keeping up today? Especially food and medicine," Skyler asked.

Nurkic still looked troubled and said: "There are a lot of wild animals on this island. The food can last for a while, but... there is a lack of medicine. Apart from weeds, there are only trees."

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

"Sir, your injuries..."

"No problem!"

After Skyler finished speaking firmly, he stood up and walked towards the woods in the distance with somewhat jerky steps. When Skyler was far away, Nurki hammered the ground in pain.

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

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

After all, they now have no warships and can no longer leave the island on their own. Therefore, it is necessary to build a simple living area. After all, it is impossible to sleep in the open every day.

It's just that yesterday's incident was too sudden, and there were too many injured and dead people, so the matters that needed to be dealt with urgently were higher than stationing.

But starting from today, they have to plan carefully.

A hundred or so people quickly got into a busy state. When it was daylight, Skyler dragged a few beasts back. Looking at their size, they probably weighed several tons in total.

All the subsequent work was completed in a silent and tacit understanding, working quietly, eating quietly, and then some people were recuperating, some were training, and some were doing logistics.

Leon led several female soldiers from the cooking class, cooking broth non-stop. This was arranged by Skyler. In the following time, she would continue to force herself to eat, and then practice to return to life.

It is an extremely painful thing to use the energy squeezed out by using Life Return for cultivation and excessive use of Life Return, but...is there anything more painful than failure?

The Zhanye detachment restored order, and news newspapers were delivered to the world one after another.

Countless people are ecstatic, countless people are shocked, and countless people are angry, but none of them have anything to do with Skyler and the Zhanye detachment. They have only one mission now, and that is to survive and survive the upcoming battles.

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

Skyler understood that there was only one way to survive, and that was to risk his life!
