Chapter 187: Arriving in Xiangcheng

After drifting on the water for ten days, the heavy smog gradually thinned out a bit.

Jiang Yan and her group finally saw the shadows of other boats.

All were heading east.

Most were assault boats with rust stains, rubber dinghies covered in all kinds of patches, and a few bamboo rafts that seemed on the verge of falling apart.

Without exception, the people on the boats were all gaunt, with yellowed complexions - apart from their eyes and lips, everything appeared darkened.

Actually, the one thing that wasn't scarce around was water, but many people who had just cleaned themselves soon became dirty again, so they simply gave up on washing.

Additionally, their coughing could be heard from a distance.

Their coughs were severe, as if they were trying to hack up their lungs.

A few were suffering from colds due to the cold weather and getting wet, but most coughed because they had inhaled too much dust into their noses and lungs.
