On a small island 200 kilometers from the shipwreck site in the Sea Region.
The scorching sun blazed down on the beach, turning the fish and shrimp washed up by the waves into dried-up husks.
On the beach lay a person, face down, with the skin on his back scorched and revealing red flesh, cracked under the burning sun, appearing extremely horrifying.
"Ugh!" The man groaned, coughing and spitting out some seawater.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
With a fit of heart-wrenching coughs, the man struggled to get up.
His face was covered in sand, his eye corner was cracked, traces of blood clinging to his face; the left side of his face was swollen due to a collision, and he looked pale from excessive blood loss; perhaps due to prolonged exposure to seawater, his entire face appeared waterlogged.
Yet, it was still recognizable that this person was Yang Chen.
Yang Chen struggled to stand, his body wobbling unsteadily.
