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

Finally, they arrived at the rescue area.

It was bustling here, with more than a thousand people gathered.

The ground outside the rescue area was full of people.

Because the people on the deck were evacuated in time, there were not many injuries.

But the atmosphere in the rescue area was very serious at this time. Deputy Captain Shang and several other senior officials were standing at the door of the operating room with serious expressions.

When the naval soldiers outside the door saw Captain Du, they immediately saluted and made way.

When Captain Du saw this, his heart sank.

He walked quickly to Deputy Captain Shang. When Deputy Captain Shang saw him, his eyes were complicated. He tilted his head slightly and motioned him to look at the closed door of the operating room.

"Captain Chen..." Captain Du moved his lips, but no sound came out, as if his throat was blocked by something.

Deputy Captain Shang patted his shoulder and silently comforted him: "We have mobilized all available medical resources and are doing our utmost to rescue him..."

He paused, as if he was having trouble speaking, and finally said, "But the situation is not optimistic."

At the door of the operating room, several medical staff members looked solemn as they shuttled back and forth, holding various medical equipment in their hands. The tense and busy atmosphere made people feel nervous.

Captain Du took a deep breath and tried to calm his surging emotions. He forced himself to calm down. Now was not the time to be sad.

"What is the damage to the mothership?"

Deputy Captain Shang shook his head. "The power and heating systems are severely damaged. We've already assigned people to restore them as a priority. I just don't know when they'll be fully repaired."

He had also been worried about the underground base, so he asked Captain Du, "You came from the underground base, which means that the surface is now accessible normally?"

Captain Du nodded: "The road is quite snowy and windy, but it is indeed passable."

"What is the damage to the underground base?"

Captain Du shook his head. "The situation is currently good. The collapse on the ground has not affected the underground. It's just that the people are trapped underground and are feeling a little depressed."

Deputy Captain Shang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Let's wait and see how the wind and snow develop. If it subsides, we'll prioritize transferring the survivors on the mothership to the underground base."

"it is good!"

After a long time, the door of the operating room finally opened, and a doctor walked out, took off his mask, with a trace of fatigue and helplessness on his face.

He saw Captain Du and Vice Captain Shang, and immediately came forward, whispering, "The operation is over."

"Captain Chen..." Captain Du asked impatiently, his voice full of anticipation and nervousness.

The doctor shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Unfortunately, although the operation was successfully completed, Captain Chen's leg injury was too severe and he was ultimately unable to be saved..."

When Captain Du heard this, his body swayed slightly and he almost fell down. Deputy Captain Shang quickly supported him. His hand was tightly gripping Captain Du's arm with such force that his knuckles turned white.

He took a deep breath. "Are his vital signs stable?"

The doctor nodded. "His vital signs are stable, and he's out of danger for now. He needs continued observation. The injury to his leg occurred at the hip joint, causing severe nerve and blood vessel damage. Furthermore, he was exposed to the cold in the snow and ice, which completely blocked his blood circulation. All the tissue has died, and there's no way to save it. The doctor had no choice but to amputate."

Captain Du took a step back, overwhelmed by indescribable grief and powerlessness in his heart.

"In the future... he will have to use a wheelchair?" Deputy Captain Shang was also a little dazed.

A flash of sadness flashed in the doctor's eyes, but he suppressed it and nodded: "Yes."

Deputy Captain Shang closed his eyes, and the image of Captain Chen leading them to overcome numerous obstacles emerged in his mind, as well as Captain Chen's resolute and decisive figure.

Captain Chen was pushed into a single room.

Because he is already quite old, this injury made things worse.

The nutrient solution in the rescue area was limited, but all that was available was given to Captain Chen, hoping to wake him up as soon as possible.

Vice Captain Shang was silent for a moment, trying hard to suppress the complicated emotions in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, his face was serious: "Let Major Wei come to see me!"

Now that Captain Chen is out of danger, there are still many follow-up situations that need to be handled by him as the deputy captain.

He has no time to grieve here!

The mothership was badly damaged, and if another ice storm came, their situation would be even more dangerous.

Captain Gangdu came from outside and said that the mother ship was now covered by a thick layer of ice, and it would be difficult to remove all the ice and snow in a short period of time.

So, he assigned a task to Major Wei, asking him to immediately transfer the ordinary survivors on the mothership to the underground base.

There are more than 400 ordinary survivors on the mother ship, and the remaining 700 navy personnel will not be transferred.

Although the mothership is now severely damaged, they will not abandon it under any circumstances. So after sending away the ordinary survivors, the remaining 700 navy officers will be responsible for the operation of the mothership.

Places like the planting and breeding areas on the mother ship must be guarded at all times.

Major Wei, with bloodshot eyes, saluted solemnly and promised to complete the mission.

Deputy Captain Shang patted him on the shoulder.

The transfer task is not easy.

They must first open a passage from the mothership to the ground before they can transfer the survivors safely.

Just like in an underground base, everyone worked very hard and used all kinds of tools to break the weakest ice on the deck.

In the end, they even moved the backup generator from the mother ship over and used a chainsaw, which made the work more efficient.

When the ice that blocked the passage was completely broken, a biting cold wind mixed with ice particles suddenly rushed in.

Major Wei immediately raised his hands to cover his face and squinted his eyes to look outside.

Outside the passage was a scene of devastation.

When I saw the ice and snow world outside clearly, I was a little dazed for a moment.

The entire mothership was wrapped in a thick layer of ice, like a huge iceberg.

The bottom of the mothership was connected to the ice on the sea surface, and there was no sound of ice cracking or ocean currents from the seabed.

Looking into the distance, the entire island is connected to the icy sea, and it is no longer possible to tell where the island is and where the sea is.

On the small island, collapsed boulders, houses, and tall ice blocks could be seen everywhere. No one knew how Captain Du and his men got from the underground base to the mothership.

There were irregular layers of ice everywhere on the deck, around the cabin, and on the surface of the hull, leaving no one with a place to step.

The most important thing is that until now, there has been a lot of snow and wind invading the island.

Amidst the snow, Major Wei felt as if they were on another desolate planet.

This feeling of desolation, remoteness and abandonment frightened him.

Other survivors felt the same way.

"We have to take the survivors away as soon as possible." Major Wei suppressed the shock in his heart and turned to say to the navy soldier beside him.

The soldiers nodded, quickly fixed the rope to the railing of the mothership, and began to guide the survivors down along the rope.
