Zhou Shuwan knew that his family had been taking care of them these days and must not have eaten well, so he avoided people and took out the compressed biscuits, chicken, mashed potatoes and other supplies that would not arouse suspicion from the space and placed them in an inconspicuous corner.

"Dad, Mom, Mu Mu," she said softly, her voice a little hoarse: "Eat something first, don't starve yourself."

The family had no appetite at all, so they ate a little symbolically and then fell silent again.

Zhou Shuwan had an acute infection and would be fine once the high fever subsided, but the doctor told him to take good care of himself and not to catch a cold again.

Only 10% of the power on the mothership was restored, and all of it was used to power the rescue area. The temperature was a little better than outside, but it was still below zero. It was so cold that you would feel cold if you stretched out your hands.

Zhou Shuwan never took off his air-conditioned clothes.

Two days later in the evening, Qi Mingyu woke up.

It seemed very noisy and bustling all around.

The noise gave him a splitting headache, as if countless tiny needles were pricking his brain.

He wanted to raise his hand to rub his temple, but found that his arm was so heavy that he could hardly lift it.

His eyelids trembled slightly, and finally he slowly opened them, only to see a thick darkness before his eyes.

He was shocked. His eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people. Even in complete darkness, he could vaguely see the outline of objects.

However, now, it was as if a thick black cloth completely wrapped around him, and he could not see anything.

Is it that the power system on the mothership has not been repaired yet?

Where is he now?

"Brother Xiaoyu, you finally woke up!" Zhou Shuwan's familiar voice came to his ears, filled with surprise and excitement.

"Wanwan..." Qi Mingyu's tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Mom, go call the doctor, Xiao Yu is awake."

"Hey!" Zhong Tiyun's voice sounded immediately afterwards, her tone full of joy and eagerness, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps. It was obvious that she ran out quickly to call a doctor.

Qi Mingyu wanted to speak, but his throat felt as dry as if it had been burned by fire, and his lips were very chapped.

Zhou Shuwan seemed to sense his discomfort and whispered, "Would you like to sit up and drink some water? You haven't had any water in a few days, and your lips are cracked!"

In the past few days, she has been carefully using a cotton swab to dip his lips in water, but the effect is not very significant.

As Zhou Shuwan spoke, he stretched out his hands, gently grasped his shoulders and helped him up.

Qi Mingyu slowly sat up under her force, and felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, as if his bones were smashed open.

But he has always been the most tolerant of pain. He only frowned and didn't make any sound. He just tried to ignore the pain and asked in a hoarse voice: "How many days have I been unconscious? How is the situation now? Are you and your parents Mu Mu injured? Is the mothership seriously damaged?"

The series of questions caught Zhou Shuwan off guard, but she was very happy.

The fact that Qi Mingyu could ask so many questions in one breath showed that he had regained consciousness and his body was gradually recovering.

She smiled, her tone relaxed. "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll explain slowly. We're all fine. The lightning that day was so strong and dense that it damaged a lot of equipment on the mothership. We're repairing it now."

Qi Mingyu nodded and looked around: "Where are we now? The rescue area? Or our dormitory?"

When Zhou Shuwan heard his question, his heart sank.

She was stunned for a moment, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Qi Mingyu's eyes.

Those eyes were still deep and gentle, as if no different from before. But...

Her heart suddenly tightened, her fingers trembled slightly, and she waved them tentatively in front of his eyes.

Qi Mingyu didn't react at all, his eyes still looking straight ahead, as if he didn't notice her movements at all.

Zhou Shuwan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

She covered her mouth and tears silently slid down her face.

Behind them was the hall of the rescue area, which was bustling with people and noisy.

Doctors and nurses were busy shuttling back and forth, and the surrounding lights were bright and dazzling.

At this time, the mother ship had just discovered the survivors on another escaping ship.

In their fleet, except for the mother ship, the tonnage and water holding capacity of other warships are almost the same.

In the fierce wind, rain and waves a few days ago, this medium-sized warship was struck by huge and dense lightning, and half of the ship sank into the sea.

The survivors on the warship escaped by boarding the lifeboat in advance under the command of the navy.

Thunder and lightning flashed, and the waves roared. They had no power to resist and could only tie up the twenty or so lifeboats that had escaped with ropes, curl up their bodies, and let the waves sweep them away and drift in the darkness.

They drifted in the sea for four or five days. When they were hungry, they ate the fish they had just caught. When they were thirsty, they used the small seawater conversion equipment they brought with them when they fled on the ship.

Since there were not enough winter clothes, they took turns wearing them to keep warm.

Perhaps it was because there were well-trained sailors on the small boat who were in charge of the situation that they were able to safely survive these few days of hellish disaster.

However, if people keep floating in the open air like this, their lives will not be protected at all!

Many of them were about to accept their fate, but unexpectedly they were so lucky to encounter a mothership that was also drifting in the sea.

On the dark sea, their more than 20 small boats were like ants in the black sea, and no one could see them.

They saw the lights of the mother ship's rescue area in the distance, and they shouted desperately and headed towards the mother ship.

There were also naval patrols on the deck of the mother ship. When they heard the cry for help, they carefully identified the person and immediately had someone turn on the emergency lights and drop the rope to rescue the person.

These people all had frostbite and were sent to the rescue area for treatment after being rescued.

The reason why Qi Mingyu felt noisy around him when he woke up just now was that people were running up and down to bring the rescued people to the rescue area.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Qi Mingyu frowned slightly: "Wanwan?"

Zhou Shuwan's voice was choked with sobs, and he tried hard to suppress his emotions: "Brother Xiao Yu, we are now in the rescue area, the rescue area of ​​the mothership."

Qi Mingyu nodded and looked around: "Is the rescue area in chaos? I hear a lot of noises around us. Is our power system not repaired yet? Can't the emergency lights be used?"

There is an emergency power system on the mother ship.

The mothership is now severely damaged and other places cannot be guaranteed, but there are so many injured people in the rescue area who urgently need treatment, the emergency lights should be turned on!

Zhou Shuwan's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and tears silently slid down from the corners of his eyes.

She tried to remain calm and replied softly, "Yes, the rescue area is very crowded right now. The storm and lightning a few days ago caused a number of ships to sink. We found a group of survivors who escaped in a lifeboat. After being rescued, they were all sent here. Everyone is busy treating and caring for them."

Qi Mingyu frowned and looked around again, a sense of foreboding emerging in his heart.

If the doctors were treating him, why couldn't he see anything!
