The ship sank suddenly, and the splashing waves mixed with heavy rain hit the windows. The only sounds between heaven and earth were the roar of the waves and the roar of lightning.
At that time, Zhong Tiyun was so scared that she screamed.
The lights in the room had been turned off long ago, and everything was pitch black.
Zhou Shuwan shone a flashlight and discovered that the glass in their house, which had just been installed a few days ago, was broken again.
"Are you okay?" She hurried to see her parents and Qi Mingyu.
Qi Mingyu said: "It's okay, we are not injured, don't worry!"
"We're fine, Wanwan, go check on Xiaoyu! The boat was shaking so violently just now, he must be feeling uncomfortable." Zhou Jianghai said.
Zhou Shuwan saw that his parents' faces were also filled with fatigue after surviving the disaster, and a wave of sadness welled up in his heart, but he tried to stay calm.
She walked to Qi Mingyu, squatted down, reached out and gently held his hand, feeling the coldness of his palm.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Are you really okay? You don't look well."
Qi Mingyu shook his head, his tone still relaxed: "I'm just a little dizzy. The boat was shaking too much. It's nothing serious."
The mother ship is still tossing in the waves, which is not a good time to give acupuncture.
Zhou Shuwan stroked Qi Mingyu's wrist and gently massaged his acupoints with her fingertips to relieve the discomfort.
He closed his eyes tightly, frowned, and was obviously in unbearable pain, but he still endured it without making a single groan.
His palms were full of sweat, and he held Zhou Shuwan's hand tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Zhou Shuwan felt the sweat on his palms and increased the intensity of the massage out of concern.
The heavy rain and thunder outside were still deafening, and the mothership was shaking violently in the strong wind and huge waves, as if it would be swallowed up at any time.
But in this small dormitory, there is a peace. This peace is created by the love and care between family members. It is a faint but warm light in the storm.
The mothership seemed to slowly regain its composure amidst a slight shake.
On the sea in the distance, there are still some rolling waves, like tired giant pythons, slowly stretching their bodies.
But in this small dormitory, there is a peace. This peace is created by the love and care between family members. It is a faint but warm light in the storm.
The thunderstorm finally stopped and the sea returned to a brief calm.
The long bumpy ride made everyone exhausted, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.
Zhou Shuwan immediately took out the silver needle from the space and quickly gave Qi Mingyu acupuncture.
Her movements were gentle, her fingertips trembling slightly, and the silver needles accurately penetrated the acupuncture points, twisting them gently to relieve his headache that was aggravated by the bumps.
Qi Mingyu lay on the bed, eyes closed and silent, his expression still calm, but the cold sweat on his forehead revealed his discomfort.
"Are you feeling better?" she asked softly.
Qi Mingyu nodded slightly and opened his eyes. Even though he couldn't see her, his eyes were still gentle: "Much better, don't worry."
Zhou Shuwan smiled and was about to say something else.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Mu Mu and Zhou Jianghai walked in hurriedly.
Both of them looked ugly.
The two of them took advantage of the calm sea to go to the deck to see what was going on.
I just went out for a while and I'm back so soon.
Zhong Tiyun's heart tightened, and she immediately stood up: "What's going on?"
"The side of the deck was struck by storm surge and lightning, causing cracks." Zhou Jianghai said in a low, solemn tone, "If repairs aren't made promptly, the mothership could disintegrate."
"What?!" Zhou Shuwan frowned. "How serious is the crack? What did Captain Chen and the others say?"
Mu Mu shook his head: "We were far away and only heard some fragments before returning, but judging from their expressions, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic."
Zhou Shuwan's heart sank.
The mothership is their greatest support at present. If the mothership disintegrates, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although they also have cruise ships and submarines, the tonnage of those ships cannot be compared with that of mother ships, and they cannot last long when faced with natural disasters.
"Dahai, do you think the crack can be repaired?" Zhong Tiyun looked at Zhou Jianghai.
Zhou Jianghai is the one who knows the most about maintenance among them.
He pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "If the crack is not serious, we can clean the crack and the surrounding damaged metal and perform multiple layers of welding using high-strength welding rods that match the deck material. This may be repairable. However, if the crack is too large, we may need to cut and remove the damaged area and replace it with a new deck plate."
But right now, the mothership probably doesn't have that many deck plates in its inventory.
Qi Mingyu's expression was also very solemn: "The deck of the mothership is made of special materials, and there is no way to find a replacement in a short time. If the cracks cannot be repaired in time, we can only..."
He didn't continue, but everyone in the room understood what he meant - if the mothership disintegrated, they would be in a desperate situation.
"Does anyone know this news?" Zhou Shuwan asked.
Mu Mu shook his head: "We just listened to a few words and then hurried back. There are very few ordinary people on the deck now!"
Zhou Shuwan pondered for a while and looked at Qi Mingyu.
The latter had the same idea as her.
They all thought of the same thing.
No matter how hard it is to find the material for the deck, they must have had or can find a substitute material since they received the "spark" in the space.
However, they had to go and see the situation first.
"Dad, Mumu, you guys take a rest. I'll go to the deck to check the situation."
The outdoor temperature was very low at this time, about minus 30 degrees Celsius.
Zhou Shuwan quickly put on his cold-proof gear, took the emergency flashlight, opened the door and walked towards the deck.
The corridor was still filled with a damp smell, and the water droplets hanging on the wall had turned into small icicles and hung there before they fell.
On the deck, the wind was still howling, but it was no longer as fierce as before.
Maintenance personnel and sailors were gathered around the side of the deck, busy checking for cracks.
It was pitch black, with only the lights in the hands of the navy and maintenance personnel to light it.
Captain Chen stood aside, his brows furrowed and his expression serious.
Zhou Shuwan walked over carefully, trying not to disturb the busy maintenance personnel.
She stood aside, carefully observing the location and size of the crack.
The crack wasn't particularly long, but it was deep, apparently caused by a combination of storm surge and lightning.
Captain Chen turned and saw Zhou Shuwan, his voice filled with fatigue: "Xiao Zhou, you're here! Did you hear the news too?"
Zhou Shuwan walked over and nodded: "I heard my family mention it once or twice! But they don't know the details, so I came to take a look."
Captain Chen sighed softly, "The disasters we've been experiencing these days are one after another! Xiao Zhou, just keep this to your family and don't spread it outside."
Zhou Shuwan responded: "Don't worry, Captain Chen, I know the seriousness of the matter."
The survivors on the mothership were already exhausted, having barely survived two natural disasters. Did they have to tell them that their only shelter was now in danger?
Then everyone will despair!
