"Captain, the Awakened is awake."
...
"What's your name?"
"Shentu Kuo."
Shentu Kuo had calmed down from his grief. He knew the crew of this ship had saved him, so he was no longer agitated like before, when he had been constantly calling out "Jia Ming" in his delirious sleep.
"From Da Yu?"
Shentu Kuo didn't answer.
Shi Ming paused.
"I can give you a small, ordinary boat. With your abilities, you should be able to get back to your destination with it."
"However, not long ago, the *Renhuang* and the *Black Society*, along with their subordinate drifting ships, blockaded this sea region. They're indiscriminately attacking all drifting ships and wild ships that survived the tsunami. They're probably looking for you."
"It'll be hard for you to evade their detection."
Shentu Kuo's fists clenched involuntarily.
His grandfather had been killed by the Wo Kou over twenty years ago while on a mission. That was why his father had given him such a name.
Shentu Kuo!
