Zhou Shuwan smiled, said nothing more, turned around and continued to clean up.
After a busy day, the ruins on the island were almost cleared. The rotten wood piled up into a small hill, and the silt was shoveled away, revealing a relatively clean ground.
Deputy Captain Shang stood on a high place, looking at the scene after the cleanup, and finally a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.
There are also supplies on the mother ship, and all residents and sailors who participate in the work can receive dinner.
It's half a pound of smoked fish.
Zhou Shuwan went tiredly with Mu Mu to get his share of smoked fish, and then dragged his heavy feet back home.
I haven't been this tired in a long time.
When I was lying in bed resting at night, I probably heard her tossing and turning.
Qi Mingyu got up in the dark, sat down at the end of the bed and put her feet on his legs.
Zhou Shuwan was exhausted after a long day and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly woke up: "Brother Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
"I'll give you a massage!"
Qi Mingyu's hands are very strong. He has also studied Chinese medicine. Although he is not very talented in this area, it is not difficult for him to find an acupuncture point.
The pressure hit the acupoints one by one, and Zhou Shuwan sighed in comfort.
"Go to sleep. I'll help you massage for a while and then you can fall asleep too."
In the dark night, Qi Mingyu's voice sounded very gentle.
Zhou Shuwan murmured "hmm" in a daze and fell into a deep sleep.
The mothership returned, but the crew was still not there.
The destroyers, frigates, supply ships, etc. have not returned yet.
These ships have smaller crews but are an integral part of the fleet.
The ocean was vast, and they had no idea where they were being swept away by the storm and waves.
The mothership was also guided back because of Zhou Shuwan's naturally strong "sense of direction".
But the other fleets were probably lost at sea, or even more cruelly, sank directly into the sea.
Before returning to the island, everyone was nervous and didn't know what the situation was like.
But when he returned, he saw the devastated island and the other fleets that were still missing.
No one was very happy.
Deputy Captain Shang stood in front of his destroyed house, looked at the devastated scene, and sighed heavily.
"I don't know what happened to those brothers..."
Captain Chen understood his feelings and also looked towards the sea level in silence.
After a long pause, he patted Deputy Captain Shang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, those brothers will definitely come back."
As he spoke, he took out a wine bottle wrapped in oilcloth from the box behind him, opened the cork skillfully, and a rich aroma of white wine instantly filled the air.
"Come, let's have a drink."
Deputy Captain Shang opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Good boy, it's been so many years since the end of the world, and you still have such a good thing hidden!"
Captain Chen smiled smugly. "That's right. I hid on the mother ship. No one knew about it except the adjutant. You got lucky today."
The reason why he was willing to take out the white wine that he had collected for a long time was to be grateful that Deputy Captain Shang survived.
He had truly thought that this soldier who had fought alongside him for so long had also died...
Deputy Captain Shang took the glass with a smile: "We still have a mission to complete, so we can't drink too much. Just take a sip."
"Don't worry, if you want to drink more, I won't give it to you!"
Each of them had a cup and sipped it slowly.
The wine glasses that Captain Chen brought out also had cracks on them, but that didn't affect their enjoyment of the delicious liquor at all.
On such a cold seashore, the waves rise and fall.
The liquor slid down the throat, bringing a hint of spicy stimulation and a hint of warmth.
"Do you remember our days in the military academy?" Captain Chen said with a smile, a flicker of nostalgia in his eyes. "Back then, we were all young and full of energy, always thinking about making great achievements. I never thought..."
Vice Captain Shang also laughed, with a hint of bitterness in his laughter: "Yeah, who could have imagined that we would go through this?"
He thought of his scattered brothers and his comrades whose lives were uncertain, and his heart ached.
He sighed heavily and touched the wine glass in his hand to him: "Old Chen, it's a good thing you are here with me."
"Old buddy, why do you say such disgusting things?" Although he said this with disgust, Captain Chen still gently touched the wine glass of Deputy Captain Shang, with a silent smile on his wrinkled face.
The two men clinked their glasses and drank the liquor again.
After drinking a glass of wine, my stomach felt warm.
The two captains quickly returned to the real problem.
The sea breeze blew in with a salty and humid smell, and the sky in the distance was still gloomy, as if it would rain at any time.
"Lao Shang, we have to find a way to recover the other ships." Captain Chen said in a deep voice.
This was a search plan that almost failed before it even started.
Because of the vast ocean, it is extremely difficult to find a ship as small as an ant.
But as the head of the fleet, he couldn't sit idly by.
It just so happened that they were also short of supplies. Now, except for some fishing boats stored on the mother ship, all other ships were damaged or swept away by the waves.
If you go out to catch fish, try to find other ships at the same time.
Although the hope is slim, it is better than doing nothing.
The two discussed for a while and finally decided to send out a fishing team.
When Zhou Shuwan heard the news, she was standing behind her house, tidying up the vegetable garden with her parents.
Her brows furrowed slightly. This was the only viable solution at the moment.
But she also knew that such an action was extremely risky.
Natural disasters such as thunderstorms and storm surges may occur at any time at sea, and fishing boats cannot provide the same protection as mother ships.
She glanced at Qi Mingyu who was sitting next to her and finally chose to remain silent.
She couldn't abandon her family, especially Qi Mingyu, who needed to recuperate in this relatively safe environment.
The turbulence on the ship greatly affects recovery.
And it was impossible for her to leave her parents, brother and husband on this small island and go out with the fishing boat to look for them.
With her joining, the chances of finding someone will be greater.
Moreover, although she can identify directions, without the protection of the mother ship, she cannot escape disasters such as thunderstorms and storm surges.
Soon, three fishing boats were ready to set off.
Zhipeng, Xue Tao and others also decided to join the fishing team.
Now that the oil fields have been destroyed, without fuel, all the ships will become scrap metal.
Of course, the sooner you join in fishing, the better.
After much consideration, Zhipeng discussed with Xue Tao and decided to take Yuxuan, Chunchun and Xuedong, who had never gone out to sea before, with him.
It is too dangerous to go out to sea now.
A thunderstorm disaster might come at any moment, and they would be isolated and helpless at sea.
But if you don’t go out to sea to fish, you will have no supplies.
Then, they can only go out to sea at the risk of their lives. If something unexpected happens after going out to sea, their last obsession is that the family is still together.
Before leaving, Zhipeng brought his family to say goodbye to the Zhou family.
