Global Flood: I Survive on Duckweed

Chapter 168: Chapter 147: Self-Doubt, Absolutely Wrong

Everyone was stunned when they saw Dawn Base post the location in the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region.

"Peach Blossom Base is in the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region? That’s ridiculous! Even if you want to change the subject, you can’t just make things up!"

"Yeah, and how would you know Peach Blossom Base has a speedboat?"

"They probably figured it out from the fight that just happened. If Peach Blossom Base had more speedboats, they likely wouldn’t have sent only one to harass Dawn Base."

"That line of thinking seems sound!"

"You guys don’t actually believe what Dawn Base is saying, do you? And let’s say, for the sake of argument, that what they’re saying is true. Who among you would dare to rashly enter the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region?"

"A normal small boat can’t handle Level 7 winds at all. The Second-level Wind Sea Region feels a lot safer."

While the survivors in the regional channel were discussing this, a frantic Qin Haonan rushed to find Ren Yuanyang.

"Boss, our position has been exposed!"

In his haste, his form of address reverted to the old one.

Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. He had also seen the message in the regional channel.

"Don’t panic yet. For now, it’s just their speculation," Ren Yuanyang said, his voice calm and reassuring.

"But how could they possibly have guessed we’re here? I clearly took a detour through several high-level wind sea regions on my way back!" Qin Haonan’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Ren Yuanyang pondered for a moment before speaking. "Even the Aircraft Carrier Base couldn’t find us through tracking, so it’s even less likely for Dawn Base. Perhaps they guessed our location because you just exposed their coordinates."

"Hmm?" Qin Haonan grew even more confused.

"To guess our location, they must have found some kind of link," Ren Yuanyang began to guide Qin Haonan’s thinking. "A person or object connected to both bases!"

"A link? You mean Lin Mu and Jianghu leaked our coordinates?" Qin Haonan’s first thought was that Lin Mu and Jianghu, who had just joined Peach Blossom Base, had leaked the information.

Ren Yuanyang shook his head. "No, no one from our base leaked anything. If someone had, Dawn Base would be able to post our exact coordinates."

"That’s true. I led Lin Mu and Jianghu on a long, winding route. There’s no way they could have left any markers, right?" Qin Haonan’s suspicion remained on the two men. Clearly, these two new members hadn’t earned his trust.

"Once the wind starts blowing, any markers on the sea become useless. They can’t be fixed in place," Ren Yuanyang shook his head again. "There’s another group of people connected to both our base and Dawn Base. Have you forgotten?"

"You mean Sister Qin and her group?" Qin Haonan paused, then frowned. "But they didn’t even show up during the battle early this morning!"

"But Jin Ziyu must have used her Gold-Type Superpower during the fight," Ren Yuanyang reminded him.

Understanding dawned on Qin Haonan. "Don’t tell me they figured out our location through Jin Ziyu, the Gold-Type Evolver!"

Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "A group of people just escaped from Dawn Base, and that group happened to include a Gold-Type Evolver who knows Dawn Base’s location. Then, we show up with a Gold-Type Evolver and just so happen to find Dawn Base. It’s easy to connect the dots!"

"Holy shit, they’re really reaching, aren’t they? What if the two Gold-Type Evolvers aren’t the same person?" Qin Haonan couldn’t help but curse.

"It doesn’t matter whether they are or not. They just need to leak this information, and someone else will do the work of confirming whether we’re in this sea region for them," Ren Yuanyang said, shaking his head slightly.

"Then what do we do? If a team really comes looking for us, we’ll be exposed!" Qin Haonan said, getting anxious.

"Don’t worry, we’re safe for now," Ren Yuanyang reassured him. "To enter the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region and search for us, they’d need ships that can withstand Level 7 winds, plus enough fuel. Only some of the large bases could meet both conditions. And those large bases would have to consider whether they could even take us down if they came, especially since your recent battle already demonstrated our combat strength."

Qin Haonan nodded slightly.

"Besides," Ren Yuanyang continued, "maybe no one will believe we’d actually stay in the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region. The conditions here are so harsh that even the biggest ships can’t avoid being tossed around by the wind and waves."

Qin Haonan paused for a moment, then replied, "I understand!"

Then, he added with some regret, "Should I not have posted Dawn Base’s coordinates in the channel?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you posted the coordinates or not. As long as they reviewed the events, they would have made the connection eventually," Ren Yuanyang said with a wave of his hand. "Instead of stewing in regret here, you’d be better off going out for a few more patrol rounds."

Qin Haonan paused again, then smiled and nodded. "You got it! I’ll head out on patrol right now!"

After Qin Haonan left, Ren Yuanyang immediately posted a message in the regional channel.

"I was busy and didn’t notice earlier. I’m surprised Dawn Base actually managed to find our base’s location. Very impressive! Since you’ve found us, feel free to come and visit. Just a reminder, the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region is quite dangerous! Still, I urge you to be kind and not use other survivors as your pawns."

"At the same time, I’d also like to remind any teams planning to head to Dawn Base: their firepower is intense. Don’t go there unless you have significant strength! Safety first!"

Just moments before, Dawn Base had called for everyone to go after Peach Blossom Base, deliberately emphasizing that Peach Blossom Base was rich in food and only had a single speedboat. They had conspicuously failed to mention the difficulty of entering the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region, clearly intending to lure people over.
