Even though the teeth of the chainsaw carved deep grooves into the ice, progress was still slow.

As time passed, the air in the passage became heavier and heavier, and the soldiers' breathing became rapid.

Sweat slid down their foreheads, dripped onto the ice, and instantly condensed into ice crystals.

"Captain, we can't go on like this. The ice is too thick. We may need other methods." A soldier panted, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Captain Du paused, put down the shovel in his hand, looked up at the still solid ice, and frowned.

He knew that relying solely on their strength, it would be difficult to break through this obstacle in a short period of time.

He turned around and was about to speak when suddenly, countless footsteps were heard from behind.

"What……"

Captain Du was a little surprised. He turned around and found that the survivors of the underground base were rushing over, holding various tools in their hands, with a little fatigue on their faces, but determination in their eyes.

"Captain Du, let's open the passage together!"

The soldier named Xiao Ma said, "Captain Du, they knew the passage was blocked and volunteered to help!"

Captain Du was somewhat moved.

These ordinary people, who are usually protected by the navy, all stood up at the critical moment.

Zhou Shuwan, his father, and his cousin Tao also came.

Mu Mu also wanted to come, but they couldn't leave Qi Mingyu and Zhong Tiyun there alone.

Zhou Shuwan wanted to use his own space to feel the situation of the exit being blocked.

Therefore, Mu Mu can only look after the two of them.

Zhou Shuwan stood in the crowd, not conspicuous.

Captain Du gave an order.

Soon, everyone joined in the fight, shovels, crowbars, hammers... all kinds of tools were waved in the air, and ice chips and gravel were flying everywhere.

Captain Du stood at the front, holding a shovel tightly in his hand and hitting the ice hard.

"Everyone, work harder!"

He shouted encouragement, his voice echoing through the passage.

The soldiers and survivors followed closely behind.

The thickness of the ice was far beyond their imagination, but no one retreated and everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

Zhou Shuwan placed his hand on the wall and felt it silently.

Suddenly, she raised her eyes and looked somewhere in the passage...

"Captain, there's a crack here!" a young navy man suddenly shouted, pointing to a tiny crack under the ice.

Captain Du immediately stopped what he was doing, walked over quickly, squatted down and took a closer look.

He reached out his hand and gently touched the crack, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes: "Okay! Starting from here, concentrate your strength and break through as soon as possible!"

Everyone immediately adjusted their direction, aimed their tools at the crack, and started a new round of chiseling.

The cracks gradually expanded, and fragments of ice began to fall off, with bursts of "cracking" sounds echoing in the passage.

"Try harder! It's almost open!" Captain Du shouted loudly, swinging the shovel in his hand faster.

Finally, with a crisp cracking sound, the ice was completely broken, and a biting cold wind mixed with ice particles rushed in.

Captain Du immediately raised his hands to cover his face and squinted his eyes to look outside.

Outside the passage was a scene of devastation.

The originally sturdy stone house had been completely overturned by the ice storm, huge stones were scattered on the ground, and ice blocks piled up like mountains.

The hills in the distance had been flattened, and the ground was covered with collapsed rocks and thick snow.

The entire island seemed to have experienced a devastating disaster and turned into a forgotten post-disaster world.

Captain Du stood at the entrance of the passage and looked around. For a moment, he could not recognize that this was a place he was once familiar with.

His brows were furrowed and his expression was serious.

The cold wind whistled past his ears, bringing with it a biting chill. Even with the protection of winter clothes, he still shivered involuntarily.

"Captain, we have to find the mothership quickly!" A soldier walked up to him and reminded him in a low voice.

Captain Du nodded, took a deep breath, and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
