「Half a month later,」 the fishing boat entered another stretch of sea. Through her binoculars, Evelyn Ford saw an abandoned port surrounded by water.
After the fishing boat drew near, Ronan Kendrick went down first to take a look around.
"There's no one here, but the smell is overwhelming. It's acrid."
The place was more like a junkyard. Evelyn saw numerous shipping containers strewn about haphazardly, and a sharp, spicy, putrid stench filled the air. After getting a whiff of it, Wyatt Vaughn had already started vomiting. Evelyn told Quincy to move the boat further away while she and Ronan went down to check on the situation.
Miles Vaughn and Peter Owens wanted to help, but their injuries hadn't fully healed yet.
"You two should find some cloth to cover your mouths and noses first. The smell here is intense, and there might be sources of infection. If we find anything, you can receive it from the deck."
