After embarking once more, Chen Xiaolian’s boat continued at the same pace and stayed somewhere in the middle position, neither going too fast nor too slow. His boat was neither too close to the front nor too close to the back. However, the other boats seemed to be subconsciously keeping a distance from his boat.
In the afternoon, their fleet stopped to rest again. This time, the riverbank was very wide.
Despite that, Hans had ordered for everyone not to disembark and instead to rest on the boats.
Hans quickly sent Winston to call Chen Xiaolian over in order to discuss something.
“Our progress is much slower than I had expected.”
They were on Hans’ boat and there was a worried look on the German fellow’s face.
Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulders. This was a very normal thing.
