In the following days, black soil played a huge role in the planting base.

It is dark and fertile, exuding the unique fragrance of soil, which forms a sharp contrast with the barren and saline land on the island.

The workers in charge of planting carefully spread the black soil, plowed it meticulously, and then sowed the seeds that had been prepared long ago.

These seeds were taken out from a refrigerator specially used for storing seeds on the mother ship, and each one is very precious.

Then use fresh water purified from seawater to irrigate the land.

Because they were worried that the temperature in the cellar would be too low, the staff dug several fireplaces around the cellar, just like the underground bases where humans live. They used fish skin, coal, and dry firewood, whatever they had, to ensure the warmth of the cellar.

Then turn on the storage-type plant light and keep it on 24 hours a day.

In half a month, the planted vegetables and staple foods began to sprout and grew well.

The tender green buds poke their heads out, as if announcing to the world the tenacity of life.

The workers in charge of care carefully observe the seedlings every day, water and fertilize them in time, and remove weeds.

They were all plantation workers selected from the survivors at the bottom of society. Their bodies and faces were dry and they were just living woodenly.

But now, looking at the well-growing green seedlings, their faces are filled with hope, and the tired look of the Trojan Horse seems to be diluted by this vitality.

No wonder people before the end of the world said that humans’ favorite color is green!

Green is the color of life!

Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of green plants and the efficient de-icing brought by giant machinery, another ice pellet storm hit.

This time it was more violent than the last time. The wind howled like ghosts and wolves, and the ice particles hit the ground densely like countless sharp bullets, making a deafening muffled sound.

Fortunately, all the survivors had been transferred to the underground base, and could only hear the teeth-grinding noise coming from above their heads.

All work in the underground base stopped, and people hugged each other nervously, listening to the roar of nature above their heads.

The air was filled with anxiety, and even underground, it was impossible to completely isolate oneself from the heart-pounding sound.

Zhipeng, Yuxuan and Xuedong are still working on the mothership, leaving only Xue Tao and Chunchun.

Zhou Shuwan touched Chunchun's head, picked up a roasted taro from the makeshift table beside him, and handed it to Chunchun: "Chunchun, have some taro."

Supplies are too scarce now.

Roasted taro is not available all the time.

Because of its unique slightly sweet taste, people feel that eating roasted taro is like eating a snack.

There wasn't much taro to eat at Xue Tao's house. Chun Chun bit her lip, a little hesitant.

Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Take it."

Chunchun then took the taro, said thank you, and nibbled it in small bites.

Just as he took a bite, there was a loud noise above his head, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

"Boom!" Dust fell from the cracks above his head, and for a moment, the air was filled with the choking smell of dust.

Zhou Shuwan frowned slightly, glad that he had rolled up the quilt on the bed beforehand.

There were several more loud noises, and more and more dust fell, and even small gravel could be seen.

The base was suddenly filled with noise, some people exclaimed, some prayed softly.

A naval officer's voice rang out amid the clamor, clear and powerful: "Everyone, squat down by the bed! Cover your head with your hands!"

Everyone was a survivor of many disasters, and without much instruction, they squatted beside the bed with their hands on their heads.

Zhou Shuwan followed Qi Mingyu closely and squatted down with him.

Qi Mingyu hugged her waist with his backhand.

Zhong Tiyun was firmly protected by Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu.

Xue Tao protected Chunchun.

Their movements are quick and instinctive.

"Boom!" This time the noise was even louder, the ground shook violently, and many people lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Zhou Shuwan's body also began to sway, and she was about to fall. Qi Mingyu's arms tightly wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly.

The world was spinning around and Zhou Shuwan felt a strong sense of dizziness, as if the world was about to collapse.

Someone shouted in panic: "Earthquake! Earthquake! We have to get out!"

"There's an earthquake! We have to get out!"

His voice, filled with desperation and uncontrollable fear, echoed in the small space.

This desperate roar seemed to break some kind of balance, and the people around stood up one after another and rushed to the exit in panic.

Zhou Shuwan frowned and was about to speak.

Fortunately, Captain Du has stepped forward.

He held a megaphone and spoke in a loud and commanding voice: "Everyone retreat and squat! It's like a huge rock falling outside now. Going out is courting death!"

His voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

Yes, everyone reacted.

Regardless of whether the disaster was caused by an earthquake or other reasons, we can clearly hear the sound of a huge object hitting the ground above our heads. Once we get out, the unarmed humans will be smashed into pieces!

The panicked people stopped and looked at each other.

"Everyone, please be quiet! The situation is unclear right now. Please remain calm and wait for further notice!"

Captain Du Yongli's voice was loud and powerful, instantly suppressing the surrounding noise.

People gradually quieted down, their eyes looking at him, waiting for his instructions.

The loud noise above their heads made everyone tremble, and dust kept falling from the ceiling, sprinkling on everyone's heads and shoulders.

Zhou Shuwan stared at the ceiling, as if trying to see the situation outside through the thick rock layer.

Because Qi Mingyu couldn't see, he could more attentively understand what the loud noises were. He suddenly spoke.

"It's the rocks! The stone house was overturned, and countless rocks hit the ground, causing such a tremor."

Zhou Shuwan was distracted for a moment and understood what he meant.

Now the only houses still standing on the island are stone houses. Qi Mingyu meant that the ice pellet storm was so violent that it blew away the stone houses!

Countless stones mixed with ice particles fell to the ground, creating an earthquake-like effect.

I didn't expect that the power of this ice pellet storm would be so great that even the stone house could not withstand it.

Her hands clenched silently. Could this ice storm be so severe?

So, shouldn’t we be thankful that they built the underground base early so that we can hide underneath it in time!

The sound of collapse and the continuous loud noise were like the death knell, and each sound struck the fragile nerves of the survivors in the underground base.

After a few minutes, the loud noise gradually weakened, but the sound of collapse continued, only the frequency was much lower, like a low sigh, echoing in the empty night sky.

Zhou Shuwan listened carefully to the direction of the sound, tilting his head slightly.

The sound of the collapse seemed to come from the center of the island, where the buildings are most densely populated and the area hardest hit by the disaster.
