Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

But such a person, whom even the god of death had avoided, fell into the hands of salt mist.

The corrosive mist penetrated into his lungs, destroying his breathing bit by bit, and eventually trapped him forever in the sea that he had guarded his entire life.

Zhou Shuwan recalled that the last time he saw him, he smiled and said, "When you bring back the minerals, we will build the strongest fortress." Now the promise is still ringing in his ears, but he will never see him again.

Parting in the end times always comes so suddenly that there is not even a chance to say goodbye.

Captain Chen looked out the window at the surging waves, his voice numb and calm: "Captain Shang left a message before he left, saying that he would deal with the sea all his life, was a navy man in life, and would stay with this sea even in death.

We followed his wishes and treated his remains like the rest of his fallen comrades. After cremation, we placed them on a small boat and sank them into the sea.

It can also be regarded as another way to continue to protect these wanderers on the sea!

Captain Chen wiped his face and forced a smile. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Go back and rest. We'll talk about the rest later."

The Zhou family nodded and said nothing more, but their footsteps became heavier than before.

There was no conversation along the way, only the sound of shoes stepping on the metal floor, so dull that it seemed to knock on everyone's heart.

Busy soldiers could be seen everywhere in the corridors of the mothership. Some were running hurriedly with tool boxes on their shoulders, while others were pushing carts piled with spare parts and talking in low voices.

When he reached the stairs, Zhou Jianghai stopped and looked up at the people around him.

Zhong Tiyun's eyes were still red, Mu Mu lowered his head and kicked the metal steps under his feet, Qi Mingyu held Zhou Shuwan's hand, and both of them had sadness in their eyes.

"Let's go back to the dormitory first." Zhou Jianghai's voice broke the silence: "Zhipeng and the others should be waiting there."

Zhong Tiyun nodded: "Yes, let's meet the children first. After talking to them, we will go to the cruise ship to move things."

Qi Mingyu added, "Captain Chen said the cruise ship has already started unloading, and the navy is busy. It's just right for us to go there later."

After reaching a consensus, several people walked towards the dormitory area with heavy steps.

As I passed the deck, I heard a loud noise.

Rows of soldiers were carrying sacks of minerals and volcanic soil from the cruise ship to the mother ship.

Their faces were filled with happy smiles.

Zhou Jianghai couldn't help but laugh: "After all, we have successfully completed our mission this time."

Zhong Tiyun looked at the busy figures and sighed softly, "That's right, who doesn't hope to build a fortress as soon as possible?"

When Zhou Shuwan was still a few steps away from his dormitory, he saw several figures at the door.

Zhipeng stood at the front with his hands behind his back, Xuedong and Xuetao were on his left and right. Yuxuan was sitting in a wheelchair, looking up and talking to them.

"Here they come!" Xue Tao was sharp-eyed and saw them first. He immediately raised his hand and shouted.

Several people immediately came forward, their steps filled with undisguised eagerness.

Zhipeng glanced at the Zhou family members and frowned unconsciously: "You have... lost a lot of weight."

Just as Zhong Tiyun was about to speak, Yuxuan had already held her hand.

The girl in the wheelchair looked rosier than the last time I saw her. The taciturn look between her eyebrows had faded a lot, replaced by a tranquility that had experienced a storm. "Auntie, you are finally back."

Her voice was still a little weak, but the joy in it was unmistakable.

"Hey, you're back." Zhong Tiyun held her hand tightly, her fingertips touching her slightly cool skin. Her heart tightened, and she looked at her carefully: "You look much better. How are you feeling these days?"

"Much better." Yuxuan smiled gently on her scarred face.

It was really strange. Her appearance made people feel terrified at first sight, but at this moment her expression looked so gentle that everyone who talked to her could not help but calm down.

"I tried to walk a few steps a while ago, but then I caught a cold and I didn't have the energy anymore."

"Being able to stand up and walk is much better than before!" Zhong Tiyun touched her hair and felt sad.

Yuxuan is a child with a tragic fate. Her body was almost destroyed in the earthquake. She is extremely strong to have been able to hold on until now.

As they were talking, Zhipeng had already pulled Zhou Jianghai, his brows furrowed even tighter: "Uncle, your and my aunt's hair... has turned a lot grayer."

He remembered that when they left half a year ago, although Zhou Jianghai had some white hair on his temples, it was far less noticeable than it is now. Even Zhong Tiyun had a few deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. "Is it true that outside..."

During the journey, not to mention the life-and-death moments, the space was not usable and they had to live a life of lack of supplies. Zhou Shuwan and the others were not in good condition.

Especially Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun, they have already shown signs of aging.

Zhou Jianghai sighed and patted his arm. "It's all over, whether it's difficult or not. As for you guys, are you all okay on the mothership?"

"What can happen to us?" Zhipeng smiled bitterly, "It's Captain Shang..."

The words came to her lips but she swallowed them back. She glanced at the Zhou family and saw that their faces were covered with sadness. She knew that they also knew about this matter, so she changed the subject: "Auntie, please go into the house first."

Zhong Tiyun then remembered to open the door and hurriedly took out the key from her pocket: "Yes, yes, come in and talk."

When I pushed the door open, a familiar smell hit me.

There were two bunk beds, a small table in the middle, and some miscellaneous boxes filled with various supplies.

Seeing that the bed and the table were very clean, I knew that someone came to clean them regularly.

Before leaving, the Zhou family gave a key to Zhipeng and his friends, because they were not sure when they would be back, so they asked Zhipeng and his friends to help clean up.

Looking at the scene in front of us, we can tell that Zhipeng and the others are very concerned.

Zhong Tiyun thanked her.

Xue Tao scratched his head: "It's not a big deal."

He sat down on a small stool and looked at Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu: "Tell me quickly, where have you been for the past six months? We only know that you went to look for supplies, but we don't have any specific information. Later, you didn't come back for a long time, and we were worried..."

The Zhou family was their only remaining relatives. They hadn't heard from them for half a year, and Xue Tao, Zhipeng and the others were always worried.

Zhou Shuwan said everything he could.

Some experiences are too cruel, and there is no need to make everyone feel distressed.

She considered her options carefully before speaking. "The main goal was to search for the area where we first discovered the hydrothermal minerals. We encountered tsunamis and icy rain, and the boat nearly capsized. We also encountered other fleets. It wasn't smooth sailing, but we finally brought the items back."
