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

When Zhong Tiyun, Zhou Jianghai and the others came back and opened the door, they saw Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu sitting there blowing their hair.

Zhong Tiyun smiled and said, "Are you done washing? Why are you so slow?"

Zhou Shuwan coughed lightly and said as naturally as possible: "Qi Mingyu's eyes were not in good condition, so I helped him wash them, so I was a little slow."

Zhong Tiyun and the others didn't care too much. They walked around outside for a while and then sat on the bed to rest.

Qi Mingyu's mood did improve a lot after venting this time. Although he still depended on Zhou Shuwan, he was no longer as depressed as before.

He liked to pull her hand casually, or gently tickle her palm, and occasionally they would hold hands.

Although these details are small, they make the relationship between the two seem particularly close.

Zhong Tiyun was the first to notice it. Seeing it, she couldn't help but laugh and tease, "These two are back to the honeymoon period when they first got married."

Half a month later, the mother ship finally ended its long journey of drifting on the sea and returned to Hope Island No. 2.

In fact, before returning, the people on the mother ship had two completely different guesses about the fate of the island.

Some people pessimistically believed that the island had already been completely submerged by the sea, and those who failed to board the mother ship were probably all killed, and they might have already lost their last piece of land;

Another group of people held out hope, believing that the sea water might have receded and the island should have returned to its original appearance. The survivors might be hiding in the cellar or somewhere else and were not necessarily wiped out.

As the mothership slowly approached the island, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the familiar yet unfamiliar land.

On the sea level, the outline of the island gradually became clear. Although it was a bit desolate, it was indeed not completely swallowed by the sea.

Those optimists guessed right, the sea water did recede and the island still stood there.

The people on the mother ship rushed to the deck, looking towards the direction of the island, tears in their eyes.

Zhou Shuwan, his parents, and Mu Mu were also squeezed in the crowd. Zhou Shuwan held Qi Mingyu's hand tightly, and both of them looked at Xiaodao.

When the people on the island heard the movement of the mothership, they ran out from the ruins, shouting at them, their faces filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

Mu Mu's eyes were sharp. She pointed at something in the distance and shouted excitedly, "Mom, look, it's cousin Zhipeng and his friends, as well as cousin Xuetao, Chunchun, and Yuxuan..."

A hint of excitement flashed in Zhong Tiyun's eyes: "Yes, they are still alive, everyone is still alive."

When the mother ship docked, everyone got off the boat one after another and found that although the sea water had receded, the island was already in ruins.

Most of the once neatly-built houses have now collapsed, wooden houses have been overturned, and crops have been soaked by sea water and are in a mess.

Zhipeng, Xue Tao and others also rushed over to meet with the Zhou family.

Zhipeng's face was tired, but his eyes were shining with hope: "Aunt, Uncle, you are finally back."

The group walked towards the Zhou family's house while chatting.

After returning home, Zhou Shuwan discovered that the wooden house that served as a grocery store and kitchen had been destroyed, and all the vegetable garden he had planted had been drowned.

Only two stone houses are left that are barely habitable.

But after entering the house, there were still traces of being soaked in sea water, and the air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay.

Zhipeng followed him into the house and saw the scene inside. He couldn't help but sigh: "The house over there is similar to yours. Now everyone lives in a crowded place, barely able to keep out the wind and rain."

Zhou Shuwan nodded: "As long as I can survive, I can slowly repair the house."

While tidying up the house, Zhong Tiyun asked, "Zhipeng, how have you been these days? How do you get food?"

Zhipeng smiled bitterly. "At first, we all hid in a cellar on the mountain. It's high up there, built by the military for the elderly, the weak, women, and children. Normally, we weren't allowed in. But that night, when we finally reached the beach, we discovered that a thunderstorm had blown the mothership far away, and we had no control over its direction..."

Even though so many days have passed, Zhipeng still clearly remembers his despair at that time.

At that time, cousin Tao was carrying Chunchun on his back, looking at the deafening thunder and the lightning that seemed like the end of the world in the sky, and he couldn't help crying out loud.

Then they heard Deputy Captain Shang shouting through a loud speaker.

He gathered together the remaining people on the island and went to the cellar on the hill.

At this time, the cellars dug by households could not withstand the surging sea water and were all flooded.

But the cellars dug for the elderly, the weak, women and children were military projects, and they were strong and secure enough.

There are also supplies hidden in the cellar.

Although it’s not much, it can sustain these people for a few days.

So everyone followed Deputy Captain Shang to the cellar.

There were lightning and thunder at that time, and lightning pillars as thick as thumbs struck down, and some people were electrocuted to death.

They were wearing air-conditioned or cold-proof clothing, which are insulators and water can conduct electricity, but fortunately they were not affected.

Finally we reached the entrance to the cellar.

Some navy men and strong men went underwater and opened the entrance to the cellar.

Let the more than 300 survivors gathered together to get in.

When this cellar was built, the possibility of sea water flooding the island was taken into consideration.

Therefore, there are three entrances in the cellar, with layers of barriers, in order to prevent seawater from flooding in as much as possible.

After they climbed in, they brought in some sea water, but most of the sea water was blocked outside.

The entrance was sealed tightly, so there was no danger inside for the time being.

At this time, more than twenty people in their group had been killed by lightning.

The charred bodies fell beside them.

They didn't dare to stop or look back along the way. They swam towards the cellar with their strong will to survive.

Huge ice floes crashed everywhere, the waves surged, and there was lightning in the sky.

It can be described as a hell-level disaster!

But they all made it through.

They stayed in the cellar for more than ten days and didn't dare to come out.

They are all on the run, so why would they carry supplies with them?

There were also few supplies such as smoked fish and taro stored in the cellar.

Fortunately, Deputy Captain You Shang and the navy he led were in charge of the overall situation. From the beginning, they stipulated that the distribution of supplies would be strictly restricted if someone died.

Grown men like Zhipeng and Xue Tao only had a small piece of smoked fish a day. They wouldn't starve to death, but they definitely wouldn't be full.

I can only barely survive and not starve to death.

There was very little fresh water in the cellar, and each person was allocated a certain amount of water per mouthful.

Even under such extremely compressed material requirements, more than 300 people persisted for more than ten days.

Deputy Captain Shang sent a team of navy out to check the situation.

But the sea water did not recede, and the team could not even get out of the cellar.

Everyone had no choice but to continue to endure the day.
