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

He and others needed to climb to the deck of the mothership to get in.

He took a deep breath, turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "We have to find a way to get up. The deck is too high. Climbing with bare hands may not be possible."

The soldiers nodded, and one of them took out a bundle of ropes from his backpack and handed it over: "Captain, we have ropes with us. We can try to fix them somewhere and then climb up."

Captain Du took the rope and scanned the ice on the mother ship, looking for a place to fix it.

His sight finally stopped at a slightly raised structure on the side of the mothership. It was a metal bracket. Although it was covered with ice and snow, its outline could be vaguely seen.

"Right there!" He pointed and then turned to the soldiers and ordered, "Prepare the ropes. Go up and secure them first. The others will follow in turns."

The soldiers acted quickly, tying one end of the rope firmly to the bracket and handing the other end to Captain Du.

Captain Du tested the stability of the rope, and after confirming it was safe, he gripped the rope tightly with both hands, pushed off with his feet, and began to climb up.

The surface of the ice was slippery, and every grip required extra strength. His arm muscles were tense, and the sweat on his forehead quickly condensed into ice in the cold wind.

"Be careful, Captain!" The soldiers below held their breath and followed his figure closely with their eyes.

Captain Du gritted his teeth, stepped on the uneven ice on the surface of the mothership, and moved upwards step by step.

Finally, he successfully climbed onto the deck of the mother ship. After standing firmly, he immediately fixed the rope to the metal guardrail on the deck to provide support for the soldiers behind him.

He lay there, his eyes scanning the ice carefully.

Finally, he found a place on top of the mothership where the ice was thinner, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Start from here."

The soldiers immediately took action, hitting the ice with the tools in their hands, causing ice chips to fly everywhere and making a "ding-dang-dang" sound.

Finally, after more than half an hour of hammering, a crack began to appear in the ice.

A hint of joy flashed in Captain Du's eyes, and he immediately increased his strength, and the sound of the shovel hitting became more frequent.

With a crisp "crack", a hole more than one meter deep was finally opened in the ice.

"Captain, please wait a moment, I'll go in and scout the way first!" A soldier hurried forward and tried to stop Captain Du.

Captain Du waved his hand and said firmly, "Time is of the essence. We cannot afford to lose. I'll go in first, and you follow."

After saying that, he slid into the ice hole without hesitation, and his figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, and finally had no choice but to follow closely and crawl into the ice hole one by one.

The space under the ice was much more spacious than they had imagined. Captain Du turned on the flashlight he carried with him, and the beam of light illuminated the surrounding environment.

They were at the junction between the deck and the cabin of the mothership. The ice and snow here were not as thick, but it was still very cold.

"Captain, it looks like we can still pass through here." A soldier whispered, looking around to confirm that there was no danger.

Captain Du nodded and walked towards the hatch.

However, when he walked to the cabin entrance, he found that the door had been blocked by a thick layer of ice.

The hull of the cabin also showed signs of cracks, and it was obvious that it had suffered considerable damage from the impact of the ice storm.

Captain Du's brows furrowed even more tightly. A chill ran down his spine, and he immediately said to the soldier beside him, "Force the hatch open. We must confirm the situation inside as quickly as possible."

The soldiers acted quickly and began prying the hatch open with crowbars and tools.

After some effort, the hatch was finally pried open with a creaking sound.

However, the situation inside made them even more frightened - the cabin was pitch black, and when the flashlight beam shone in, they could only see a dead darkness.

"The electricity and heating are out." Captain Du said in a low voice with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

He led the soldiers further in, taking every step with extreme caution.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front.

Captain Du stopped immediately and shone the flashlight beam forward.

I saw a group of figures walking out of the darkness, led by Adjutant Yun.

"Captain Du!" Adjutant Yun was surprised when he saw Captain Du, and then he quickly stepped forward and asked, "How did you get in?"

Captain Du breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Adjutant Yun, and immediately said, "We broke through the ice. The situation outside is terrible now, with the mothership completely sealed in by the ice. How's it going on your side? Where are Captain Chen and Vice Captain Shang?"

Adjutant Yun's expression instantly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Captain Chen led us to hide in the relatively safe area under the cabin when the ice storm first started.

But because Captain Chen was inspecting work on the deck at the time, he failed to dodge in time and was crushed by the huge rock, and has been unconscious ever since.

He is now being treated in the emergency room.

The electricity and heating on the mother ship were cut off, so we had to urgently start the backup power supply and give priority to the rescue area.

Now everyone else has been moved to the rescue area to keep warm."

Captain Du was shocked and his face turned pale instantly: "Captain Chen is seriously injured? How is he now?"

Adjutant Yun shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I'm not quite sure about the specific situation yet. There has been no news from the emergency room. When we heard the sound of the collapse subsided, we brought people out to investigate."

Captain Du felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, and he immediately said to Adjutant Yun, "Take me to the rescue area. I must see Captain Chen."

Adjutant Yun nodded, turned around and led Captain Du and his party towards the rescue area.

Captain Du held the flashlight tightly, and the beam of light swayed in the corridor, reflecting the anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes.

He quickly followed Adjutant Yun, silently praying in his heart that Captain Chen could survive this.
