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

"Wait, there seems to be something in that direction."

Qi Mingyu immediately slowed down the speed of the submarine and controlled it to slowly approach the direction she pointed.

As the submarine approached, their vision gradually became clearer.

It was a mineral vein hidden in the deep sea. The color of the mineral vein was extremely special, as if it contained some rare mineral.

"Is this... a deep-sea mineral vein?"

Zhou Shuwan nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "These veins may be rich in a variety of rare minerals. If we can collect samples and send the warship back for analysis, we may be able to find new resources for us."

This place can naturally produce special substances such as hot spring fish, and these minerals must be worth studying.

Qi Mingyu pondered for a moment, then made a decisive decision: "Okay, Mumu, collect some mineral samples."

Mu Mu immediately began to prepare the collection tools. As the collection robotic arm slowly extended, pieces of mineral samples were successfully collected into the storage compartment of the submarine.

"The collection is complete." Mu Mu's voice was filled with excitement.

"Let's go!" Qi Mingyu said without any hesitation.

The submarine slowly sailed away from the deep-sea mineral vein and headed at full speed towards the return destination.

Half a month later, they finally returned to the familiar island.

When they were still a few nautical miles away from the island, they switched to a small fishing boat that had been prepared in advance.

The storage box containing the hydrothermal fish was carefully lowered into the sea water and towed with a strong fishing line.

Zhou Shuwan carefully checked the water temperature in the storage tank along the way, and poured hot spring water into it from time to time.

Two hours later, they returned to the island safely.

Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu carried boxes of harvested fish to the shore.

Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan moved the box of hot spring fish to the shore.

They have been away for more than a month this time, so they must have gained something.

So he came back with half a boatload of fish.

After moving half of the fish on the boat ashore, Qi Mingyu went to find Deputy Captain Xiao.

Qi Mingyu truthfully told them the reasons they had thought of in advance, and described their experience in the unfamiliar waters in a calm and unhurried tone.

They said they were once swept away by the waves and arrived in an unfamiliar sea area, and almost couldn't find their way back.

In that sea area, they discovered a very strange scene: a large amount of hot steam and smoke were formed by the eruption of an underwater volcano, and there were many fish living around.

The whole family felt that these fish that could grow in such a high-temperature environment were very valuable for research, so they used a water tank to scoop up some of these water and fish, hoping that the technical personnel of the warship could do some research.

They also brought back some minerals that erupted from the seabed and donated them free of charge to warship research.

After hearing this, Deputy Captain Xiao was shocked and surprised, and immediately ordered a team of navy and technicians to go to the beach to receive the samples.

For one hundred fish, not much hot spring water is needed, so the storage box is not big and can be carried by two people.

When the navy arrived at the shore and carried the storage box, they could feel that the box was still slightly warm.

They looked at each other, wondering how the Zhou family could maintain the temperature of the hot spring water in the icy sea water.

Deputy Captain Xiao watched the naval officers and soldiers take the samples away, his mind churning with thoughts. He and Captain Chen became increasingly suspicious of the Zhou family's hidden strength.

After the handover was completed, Zhou Shuwan and the others returned home.

Looking at the surrounding environment, it seems that a tsunami occurred again in the past month.

However, the vegetable garden in the wooden house behind the Zhou family was full of vitality, and it was obvious that Yuxuan and her family took great care of it.

The whole family took a bath on the submarine, had a simple meal, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan lay on the bed, talking in whispers about the operation.

Qi Mingyu also knew about Deputy Captain Xiao's suspicions.
